"No choice then, Mangekyo Sharingan, activate!"
As chakra furiously surged into his eyes, the three tomoe began to spin rapidly, connecting in a blink to form a shape resembling a triangular shuriken.
"Oh my, Mangekyo Sharingan, Tsukuyomi in the left eye, Amaterasu in the right, Susanoo from both eyes—I'm so scared."
Zhong Chen looked at Uchiha Itachi's transformed eyes and casually listed all of his abilities.
"What! How do you know about my Mangekyo abilities?"
Uchiha Itachi could guarantee that he hadn't told anyone about his abilities.
How did that guy opposite him know?
"Heh heh, you ask me to tell you, but I just won't. What can you do to me?"
Watching Zhong Chen constantly wiggling his butt, Uchiha Itachi was finally completely enraged.
"You… Tsukuyomi!"
As he used his ocular power, a sharp pain continuously entered his brain from his left eye, but at this moment, Uchiha Itachi had no time to mind this pain.
Instead, he looked at the young man opposite him with a serious expression.
"Don't think that just because you glare at me, I'll tell you. Don't even dream of it!"
"Hmph, I'm done playing with you, I'm leaving!"
After speaking, Zhong Chen suddenly vanished from Uchiha Itachi's sight, like a child throwing a tantrum.
"This… never mind… the plan is more important. I'll report to Lord Hokage later."
Uchiha Itachi realized that even Tsukuyomi couldn't affect the other party in the slightest, so he could only suppress this matter for now.
He decided to deal with the Uchiha Clan first.
Zhong Chen watched Uchiha Itachi rapidly speeding towards the central area of the Uchiha Clan compound, then turned his head to Velgrynd and said:
"Don't you think this guy's a bit abnormal in the head? For such a decaying village, he can unhesitatingly lay hands on his own clansmen."
That's right, Zhong Chen hadn't actually left; he had simply concealed himself, just like Velgrynd.
"I can feel that this child's heart is also constantly struggling."
"As for what choice he will make… haven't you already known the outcome?"
Velgrynd gave Zhong Chen a slight smile as she spoke.
Upon hearing Velgrynd's words, Zhong Chen shrugged lightly, and then his figure instantly vanished.
Inside the Uchiha Clan head's residence, Uchiha Fugaku, accompanied by his wife Uchiha Mikoto, looked warily at the young man who had suddenly appeared before them.
"Sir, what brings you to my residence in the dead of night?"
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Daimyo of the Rainbow Country, the First Rainbow Shadow of Rainbow Ninja Village, Zhong Chen."
"What!!! You said you are the Rainbow Shadow! Weren't you supposed to have disappeared?"
Uchiha Fugaku's face instantly paled with shock. The name of the Rainbow Shadow was legendary to him, a single person who had suppressed all ninja villages into utter silence.
His might was even three points stronger than that of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, after all, Hashirama Senju wouldn't casually go to other people's homes to play with Wood Golem.
Now, the Rainbow Shadow, rumored to have not appeared for ten years, suddenly stood before him. Even with his Mangekyo, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
"Who said I disappeared? I was just too lazy to come out."
"Enough small talk, I ask you, are you interested in moving the Uchiha Clan to Rainbow Ninja Village to live?"
Zhong Chen didn't play any guessing games and directly stated his purpose.
Uchiha Fugaku didn't know if Zhong Chen was serious, so he probed with a half-truth, half-lie:
"Move to Rainbow Ninja Village? Don't you know that our Uchiha Clan is one of the founding clans of Konoha? You want us to betray Konoha…"
"Alright, your son is already bringing a certain teacher-killer to slaughter your whole family, and you're still putting on an act…"
"What did you say?"
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, Uchiha Fugaku looked utterly disbelieving.
"What, you don't believe me? Take a look."
Zhong Chen waved his right hand, and a water mirror materialized out of thin air, showing the scene of Uchiha Itachi wielding his blade of slaughter.
Watching the bloodstains on Uchiha Itachi's cold face in the water mirror, Fugaku finally believed everything Zhong Chen had said.
Itachi had ultimately chosen to betray the clan, and the village had finally moved against the Uchiha Clan.
Watching his clansmen being slaughtered in the water mirror, Uchiha Fugaku felt his heart bleeding.
All of this was caused by his indecisiveness as clan head.
However, it seemed there was still a way out. Thinking this, Uchiha Fugaku turned to Zhong Chen, asking with a hint of respect in his tone:
"May I ask what conditions Lord Rainbow Shadow has for taking in our Uchiha Clan?"
"No conditions, just swear allegiance and don't betray us."
Zhong Chen stated the conditions with an indifferent expression.
"It's that simple?"
Uchiha Fugaku was filled with disbelief upon hearing Zhong Chen's words, never expecting the other party's condition to be this.
The Uchiha moving to Rainbow Ninja Village should naturally pledge allegiance to Rainbow Ninja Village; wasn't that essentially no conditions at all?
"It's that simple, but remember, you won't want to experience the price of betrayal, understand?"
As Zhong Chen said this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and an extremely terrifying pressure bore down on Uchiha Fugaku.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Fugaku's mouth, and Uchiha Mikoto quickly supported her husband.
"Husband, are you alright!"
"Cough cough… I'm fine! As expected of the Rainbow Shadow, his strength is awe-inspiring."
"I, on behalf of the Uchiha, submit to you. Please take us in."
Looking at Uchiha Fugaku and his wife prostrating themselves before him, Zhong Chen slightly raised his right hand, and the two involuntarily straightened their bodies.
"I accept your allegiance. This might be the most correct choice you've ever made in your life."
"However, one person must stay."
Uchiha Fugaku asked with a puzzled expression:
"Who are you referring to?"
"Your younger son, Uchiha Sasuke."
"Ah! Lord Chen, why must Sasuke stay?"
Uchiha Mikoto asked anxiously, while Zhong Chen revealed a slight smile and said:
"Heh heh, one of the conditions for Uchiha Itachi to slaughter the entire clan was to spare Uchiha Sasuke's life."
"Although Uchiha Itachi is a beast, he truly cares for his younger brother immensely."
Mikoto felt a trace of comfort in her heart upon hearing of Uchiha Itachi's care for his brother, but she continued to ask:
"But that doesn't prevent us from taking Sasuke with us, does it?"
"The main thing is that I have a reason why Uchiha Sasuke must stay. Don't worry, his life won't be in danger."
"This…"
Seeing his wife about to say something more, Uchiha Fugaku directly interrupted her:
"Enough, Mikoto. Since it's Lord Chen's request, we will comply."
"There will always be a day when we see Sasuke again. Right now, the most important thing is the evacuation of our clansmen."
"Lord Chen, how should we evacuate?"
"It's very simple. You gather everyone here, and remember, bring even those who have died."
"Then we'll simply fight our way out, it's that simple!"
"Ha!!!"
