What does Uchiha Izumi look like when she becomes "slightly" serious?
The answer was...
The blade flashing with sword light in her hand.
In the blink of an eye.
Uchiha Izumi thrust her blade at Uchiha Fugaku.
Not a slash, but a thrust.
That way, the injury could be kept within a range that was as unlikely to be fatal as possible.
After all.
What Uchiha Izumi wanted to do was lead the Uchiha Clan, not annihilate it.
Moreover, Uchiha Fugaku was merely a man.
He was not a Ninja Weapon like Nohara Rin and the others.
The blade flashed.
Cold sweat trickled down the foreheads of Uchiha Yashiro and the others.

Beside him, the Legendary Sannin would automatically become hazy, insignificant figures.
Without a doubt.
Uchiha Izumi's reverse grip on the short blade was exactly the same as Hatake Sakumo's.
And Konoha's White Fang had died long ago.
Uchiha Izumi had never even met him.

Compared with Hatake Sakumo's slashes, Uchiha Izumi's strength still had room to improve.
"..."
Uchiha Izumi's expression darkened.
"Captain Fugaku... why won't you just let me stab you?"
The next moment.
The blade cut
