Uchiha Zheng's Wicked Hair!

"To take the Clan Head away, you'll have to step over my dead body!"

"That's right!"

"If you want a fight, then bring it on!"

Instantly, other Uchiha clan members stepped forward to shield Fugaku.

Shinnosuke Sarutobi said coldly, "Those are your own words..."

"Are you prepared for the consequences?"

But Fugaku Uchiha parted the crowd and strode forward.

"Enough."

"None of you act rashly. I'll go with the Anbu."

"Clan Head, this—"

"Don't worry. I'll be fine. If it's those children..."

Yashiro Uchiha's heart jolted.

He understood the Clan Head's meaning...

If Fugaku himself entered the Anbu, unless Hiruzen Sarutobi truly wanted to start a war outright, the Anbu couldn't do much to him.

But if it were Qianyu's subordinates, that would be a completely different story...

No one knew what cruel torture they would endure.

Anbu interrogation...

Everyone understood what that meant.

Fugaku wasn't just trying to save these clan members—he was also stepping into the game himself, personally testing the attitudes of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Konoha's high command!

"But—but—"

Fugaku shook his head. "Elder Yashiro, while I'm away, I entrust the Uchiha clan and the Police Force to your care."

"Clan Head! Don't fall for their trap!"

"Clan Head!"

Yet Yashiro Uchiha finally nodded, heavy-hearted.

Fugaku smiled faintly and said to Shinnosuke Sarutobi, "Let's go."

Shinnosuke Sarutobi sneered. Several Anbu immediately surrounded them and escorted Fugaku Uchiha away.

"Bastards! I'll fight you to the death!"

"Release the Clan Head!"

One after another, Uchiha clan members burned with rage, their scarlet Sharingan even beginning to glow!

But Yashiro Uchiha blocked them.

"Don't act rashly!"

"Don't waste the Clan Head's good intentions!"

"Especially you—Qianyu's subordinates!"

Uchiha Qianyu's Squad Captain in the Police Force had only seven or eight subordinates.

At this moment, they were more grief-stricken, hateful, pained, and despairing than anyone else!

Captain Qianyu was suspended.

Aoki and Yamamoto were severely injured and hospitalized.

And now, for their sake, even the Clan Head had been taken by the Anbu!

This burning fury, this unwilling despair, even pushed their Eye Power to new heights, erupting with strength beyond their usual limits!

Yashiro Uchiha's heart jolted again.

But still, he watched the retreating figure of Clan Head Fugaku and let out a long sigh...

"This is the Clan Head's order!"

"No one makes a reckless move!"

"...Yes, Elder Yashiro."

Several members of the Qianyu Squad exchanged glances, then moved to rush out.

Yashiro Uchiha snapped, "What are you doing?!"

"Elder Yashiro, we... we just want to go to the hospital to visit Aoki and Yamamoto!"

"Don't worry, we won't do anything foolish..."

At the mention of Aoki and Yamamoto's names, Yashiro Uchiha sighed softly.

"Go on, then..."

"Yes, Elder Yashiro."

Yashiro Uchiha suddenly thought of something.

"Don't tell Qianyu about this for now!"

"Otherwise, with his personality, he'll absolutely turn heaven and earth upside down!"

"...Yes, Elder Yashiro."

But Yashiro Uchiha could tell from their eyes that these young men might not obey.

"Yakumi."

"Here."

"Assign someone to watch them, especially Qianyu's side—absolutely don't let him find out!"

"Understood, Elder Yashiro!"

Yashiro Uchiha looked around; every clansman's face was etched with anger and unwillingness. This blazing fury, soaring to the heavens, threatened to dye the entire sky of Konoha red...

He could only let out a long sigh and shake his head.

Meanwhile.

Zzzzzt—

Qianyu pushed with all his might, merging the released power of Lightning Release: False Darkness with the katana in his hand.

This was no easy task.

What it demanded was an extreme mastery of chakra's shape transformation!

But after days of relentless attempts and nearly ceaseless, desperate practice, Qianyu had finally drawn close to the finish line.

Crackle!

Dazzling, blinding electric light wildly danced along the blade's edge!

This violent power not only turned the katana into an unblockable Lightning Style Chakra Blade, but also granted it the terrifying traits of breaking through defenses, paralyzing enemies, and even exploding upon impact!

If Uchiha Sasuke's Chidori Blade was a pure, absolute enhancement of cutting and piercing power, Then Qianyu's technique was a force of piercing through and bursting apart!

Watching the rampaging thunder and lightning on the blade's edge...

Qianyu smiled with satisfaction.

"Finally finished..."

"Merging the violent destructive power of Lightning Release: False Darkness, pouring it into the blade..."

"I'll name it Lightning Release Body Technique..."

"Blade of False Darkness!"

In these past days, even without the system's help, Qianyu's strength had soared through his own relentless, almost obsessive training.

"My chakra volume and eye power have both increased quite a bit. Lightning Release: False Darkness and Blade of False Darkness have both reached Minor Mastery..."

Sensing the changes in his own strength, Qianyu felt a surge of delight.

Just then.

A series of urgent knocks sounded at the door.

Chapter 21: Stand in My Way and Die!

Qianyu had already sensed that the visitor was one of his clansmen.

But just as he was about to open the door, the knocking suddenly stopped.
