The Second Elder clasped his hands in salute, nodded toward the corpses of the two Elders, and left.
The Uchiha clansmen standing behind the Eighth and Ninth Elders were all trembling from head to toe. Some could not even hold their weapons steady.
Against someone as powerful as the Second Elder, resisting was utterly meaningless.
Fortunately, the Second Elder had no intention of holding them accountable, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Still, with the two Elders dead, the Fourth Elder probably would not last much longer either. Their defeat was already inevitable.
All that remained was to see how they would be punished. They only hoped their wives and daughters would not be implicated.
Uchiha Kai was still fighting Shintaro, but as time passed, Uchiha Kai had clearly fallen into a disadvantage.
Shintaro, meanwhile, calmly deflected every one of Uchiha Kai's attacks, counterattacking from time to time.
He was slowly draining Uchiha Kai's Chakra and stamina like boiling a frog in warm water, and Uchiha Kai understood it perfectly well.
But there was nothing he could do. He had thought that after awakening the Mangekyo, he would at least be evenly matched with Shintaro. He had not expected to overestimate himself.
