After Feng Ye finished explaining, he returned straight home.
His parents had been waiting for him at the door. His father had also been involved in the recent battle, but only watched Feng Ye from a distance.
After the battle ended, he went home and told his wife the whole story, and neither of them had yet recovered from the shock.
Seeing Feng Ye return, his parents rushed to hug him and check for any injuries.
He had previously explained to them that his immense strength was due to the water of heroism, but they hadn't expected him to be this strong.
After a thorough explanation, his parents showed relieved smiles. Nothing made them happier than seeing their child achieve success.
Especially his father, Uchiha Gō, whose face was flushed with excitement. He had always told Feng Ye to look up to Uchiha Itachi and Shisui as role models, but now Feng Ye was even stronger than them.
After Uchiha Kaede returned to his room, he opened his Mangekyo Sharingan. The eerie pattern spun, and accompanied by a flash of lightning, a corpse appeared in his room.
It was Uchiha Itachi!
Uchiha Itachi had originally thought that Feng Ye was exhausted after fighting several major battles, so he used his last ounce of strength to summon a crow and try to hit him with Kotoamatsukami.
However, it was neutralized by Feng Ye's own Kotoamatsukami. Finally, Feng Ye used Takemikazuchi to draw him into the Lightning Dimension. Uchiha Itachi was already at the end of his rope, and a few bolts of lightning in the Lightning Dimension finished him off.
Fortunately, if Feng Ye hadn't absorbed one of Shisui's eyes a few days prior, Uchiha Itachi might actually have succeeded.
His eyes were indeed strained at the time. Activating Susanoo twice—what Mangekyo could withstand that?
At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he had sought trouble with Danzo before the clan massacre. The things he obtained from Danzo were too important.
Hashirama cells and the Mangekyo Sharingan—these two things were crucial for safely surviving the Night of the Clan Massacre. If he lacked either one, he likely wouldn't have escaped disaster.
At this moment, inside the room, Feng Ye slowly extended his right hand and gently placed his palm above the head of Uchiha Itachi's lifeless corpse.
More accurately, it was placed over those pair of eyes.
Immediately afterward, Feng Ye closed his eyes and concentrated fully, beginning to activate his special absorption ability.
In an instant, an incredibly familiar feeling surged into his heart like a tide.
Along with this wonderful sensation, a strange and powerful energy continuously flowed into his body from his palm.
This energy was like a surging torrent, rapidly washing through the meridians throughout his body.
However, the most significant change occurred in his eyes.
His pupils, already possessing great power, now burst forth with dazzling light, and his ocular power climbed rapidly at an astonishing speed.
At the same time, the existing pattern in his eyes became even more mysterious and eerie, seemingly containing unfathomable secrets.
Furthermore, as the energy continually poured in, Feng Ye clearly sensed a vast amount of memories and several exquisite Ocular Techniques gradually merging into his consciousness.
These included the astonishing Crow Clone Technique, powerful Fire Release Ninjutsu, unpredictable Genjutsu skills, and, of course, the ultimate Genjutsu—Tsukuyomi!
This feeling! Feng Ye touched his eyes, looked at the shriveled corpse before him, glared, and lightning took it away.
Is it already close to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan? Feng Ye wondered, feeling the immense energy emanating from his eyes.
The next day, just as dawn broke, while the entire Konoha Village was still immersed in the morning tranquility and most citizens were still asleep, the Uchiha Clan Head, leading two Clan Elders and Uchiha Kaede, arrived early before the Hokage Building.
At this time, the sun had just risen, and the morning light, faintly revealing itself, clearly outlined the Hokage Building.
After Uchiha Setsuna stopped, he looked up at the distant Hokage Rock and couldn't help but let out a cold snort: "Hmph!"
His cold snort seemed to carry endless dissatisfaction and resentment, echoing in the silent air.
Just then, an ANBU Member dressed in black tactical gear and wearing a mask appeared before them.
The ANBU Member remained silent, merely raising a hand to gesture, and then led the way toward the Hokage Building.
Seeing this, the members of the Uchiha Clan quickly followed.
Following the stairs upward, they soon arrived at the entrance to the Conference Room on the top floor.
The ANBU Member gently pushed open the door, stepped aside, and Uchiha Setsuna and the others filed in.
Upon entering the Conference Room, everyone looked up and saw the Third Hokage leading the way, flanked by two Advisors, all staring coldly at their arrival.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi! We want to know about last night's incident. How do you explain it?" Uchiha Setsuna asked, walking up to him with the others, his tone cold.
"That was all Danzo's idea, and his personal action. It has nothing to do with Konoha," Hiruzen Sarutobi replied, as calm as ever.
However, he was stunned when he saw Uchiha Kaede. Wasn't he handed over to the Takigakure Ninja? Why was he here, and why was he allowed to accompany the Uchiha leadership?
"Danzo is a Hokage Advisor! He mobilized forces on a large scale to attack the Uchiha. Are you telling me you didn't know?!" Uchiha Setsuna sneered.
"That's right, I didn't know." Hiruzen Sarutobi had decided to throw caution to the wind; he was simply going to deny everything.
"Then hand Danzo over! Let us deal with him!"
"No. I have already dissolved Danzo's Root organization and will punish him."
Uchiha Setsuna was so angry he laughed. He brought people to destroy their clan, and you just demote him?!
"Hokage-sama, the Uchiha Clan has decided to withdraw from all systems of Konoha Ninja, including The Guard Squad." Uchiha Setsuna stopped wasting words and got straight to the point.
"Are you trying to abandon Konoha?!" Homura Mitokado, standing next to the Hokage, said with a dark expression.
"Heh! What if we are?!"
"Enough!" The Third Hokage interrupted them. "Setsuna, the Uchiha have always been Konoha's Uchiha. If you leave Konoha, where will you get the funds to support your clan members?"
The Third Hokage was somewhat helpless. He couldn't let the Uchiha Clan leave; their power was too great. Wherever they went, the power there would skyrocket.
If they defected to the other Four Great Shinobi Villages, Konoha would truly be in danger.
Therefore, even if he had to wipe out the clan, he couldn't let them leave!
So, even under threat, he had to stabilize them temporarily. At the very least, he couldn't allow them to revolt right now.
"Setsuna, I can agree to let you withdraw from the Ninja system, and I won't interfere with your existing assets. How about that?"
"Sarutobi!" As soon as the Third Hokage finished speaking, the Uchiha side hadn't reacted, but the two Advisors shouted out instead.
However, the Third Hokage ignored them, focusing only on the Uchiha.
Under the Third Hokage's strange gaze, Uchiha Setsuna looked toward Uchiha Kaede.
Uchiha Kaede nodded and stepped forward.
"Then we thank the Third Hokage. The Uchiha will accept this."
"You are... Kaede, right?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was slightly unsure. What was happening? Was Uchiha Setsuna just consulting him?
"The Third Hokage is truly forgetful. You handed me over to the Takigakure Ninja not long ago, and you've already forgotten?" Feng Ye's voice carried a hint of mockery.
"It really is you!" The Hokage was somewhat incredulous.
"That's right. Kaede has been designated as our Third Elder. He has the authority to make decisions for us," Uchiha Setsuna added.
"What!?" The Hokage and the two great Advisors were stunned. He was the Third Elder? How old was he?!
Feng Ye understood that the Third Hokage just wanted to stabilize the Uchiha first, and coincidentally, they also wanted to stabilize the Hokage first, so they naturally agreed to these terms.
