Lessons Are Meaningless Without Pain

Crack!

The sound of bone breaking snapped everyone back to reality.

Even though everyone present was an arrogant and unruly Uchiha, they all stared in shock when they saw Uchiha Yuzuru twist Uchiha Fugaku's arm until it broke.

Uchiha Yuzuru...

He was way too reckless!

Under everyone's gaze, Uchiha Fugaku stood up while clutching his arm, gritting his teeth hard to keep himself from making a sound.

His mind had suffered such a violent shock that staying conscious was already his limit.

Seeing Uchiha Fugaku's pale face, Uchiha Yuzuru deactivated his Sharingan.

At that moment, a resonant bell rang out, and the gates of Naka Shrine slowly opened.

Seeing that, Uchiha Yuzuru tugged at his collar and turned to walk inside.

"Oh..."

"Though this might look like the strong bullying the weak, don't blame me. A lesson without pain is meaningless, because if a person does not sacrifice something, then they can gain nothing."

"The next time you come to challenge me, think about the arm you broke today."

The confident words from before the battle were returned to him almost word for word, and Uchiha Fugaku felt his face burn.

This was truly humiliating!

He stared blankly at Uchiha Yuzuru's departing back.

As the person involved, Uchiha Fugaku had the clearest sense of the Dojutsu Power Uchiha Yuzuru had displayed just now.

Under that surging, violent impact, he had not even been able to resist!

For the first time in his life, Uchiha Fugaku, who had always thought highly of himself, felt an unprecedented sense of defeat.

They both had three-tomoe Sharingan, so why was the gap so enormous?!

Everyone entered Naka Shrine one after another, but the discussions never stopped.

No one had expected the clash between the old and new generations of geniuses to end like this.

"I can't believe Yuzuru actually beat Fugaku!"

"Yeah, and did you notice? Compared to Fugaku, Yuzuru seemed completely unaffected."

"That can only mean one thing: Yuzuru's Dojutsu Power is far greater than Fugaku's!"

"Gasp! Terrifying!!!"

The power Uchiha Yuzuru had displayed left every Uchiha present unable to calm down.

If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.

They both had three-tomoe Sharingan...

Wasn't Uchiha Yuzuru's Dojutsu Power a little too terrifying?!

Inside the Secret Room beneath the shrine.

Uchiha Yakumi and Uchiha Inabi sat beside Uchiha Yuzuru and spoke with slight excitement. "Senior Yuzuru, you were incredible. You actually defeated Lord Fugaku."

"Yeah, we thought you were definitely going to lose just now."

Seeing that Uchiha Yuzuru did not respond, neither of them minded. Uchiha Yakumi said admiringly, "As expected of the youngest Squad Captain. It would be great if I could become as strong as Senior Yuzuru someday."

Hearing Uchiha Yakumi's words, Uchiha Inabi stroked his chin and thought seriously for a moment before saying, "Yakumi, while it's possible for you to become as strong as Senior Yuzuru, it's not possible for you to become as strong as Senior Yuzuru."

Uchiha Yakumi said indignantly, "Then let me ask you, let me ask you, let me ask you, let me ask you..."

Listening to the argument between the two beside him, Uchiha Yuzuru felt that if he kept listening, his head would turn pointed. He simply closed his eyes to rest.

Compared to everyone else, Uchiha Yuzuru, the one who had defeated Uchiha Fugaku, did not feel particularly excited or thrilled.

In a pure contest of dojutsu, how could a three-tomoe Sharingan possibly be compared to a Mangekyō Sharingan?

He was not Itachi Uchiha facing Sasuke Uchiha. With a Mangekyō Sharingan, defeating Uchiha Fugaku's three-tomoe Sharingan was only natural.

After waiting for a while, Uchiha Tarou, the clan head, appeared before everyone.

"Quiet, everyone. The Clan Meeting will now begin."

Uchiha Tarou first glanced at Uchiha Fugaku, who was clutching his arm, then discreetly looked at Uchiha Yuzuru before speaking again.

"Now for the first matter: the plan is for Uchiha Yuzuru to serve as Squad Captain of the Konoha Military Police Force's Seventh Squad. We will now vote by a show of hands. Those in favor, raise your hands."

Everyone attending the Clan Meeting had already known about this matter.

Moreover, Uchiha Yuzuru had just overwhelmingly defeated Uchiha Fugaku, so almost everyone raised their arms in an instant.

Even Uchiha Fugaku was no exception.

"Then this matter is approved." Uchiha Tarou swept his gaze over the room again. "Uchiha Yakumi, Uchiha Inabi, you will follow Yuzuru from now on."

Compared to selecting a Squad Captain, assigning squad members was much simpler. Uchiha Tarou made the decision directly.

Uchiha Inabi and Uchiha Yakumi immediately stood up and said excitedly, "Yes!"

Being able to follow Senior Yuzuru had always been their wish!

"Next, let's discuss the clan's budget expenditures..."

Under Uchiha Tarou's lead, everyone discussed matters concerning the distribution of clan industries, the training of clan ninjas, the exchange of Ninjutsu Resources, even clan landscaping and construction planning for the clan grounds.

They discussed every detail, and it was not until the latter half of the night that the meeting finally came to an end.

Uchiha Yuzuru listened very attentively.

Since he had bound himself to the Clan System, the clan was the foundation of his growth in strength.

These matters, which were closely tied to the clan's development, absolutely could not be ignored.

"All right, next let's discuss how we can raise the clan's influence within the village, so we can prepare in advance for the next Hokage election!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Tarou's words, the previously drowsy crowd instantly perked up.

After only a moment, someone immediately raised his hand and stood to speak. "Clan Head, I believe we should increase the Konoha Military Police Force's manpower and work even more diligently to maintain village security, thereby raising the Uchiha Clan's influence in the village."

"I think we can beat up all the strong members of the other clans and let everyone recognize the strength of the Uchiha Clan."

"Clan Head Tarou, the strong members of the clan should regularly teach other clan members relevant experience and techniques, and answer the problems they encounter in training."

Hearing the suggestions everyone put forward, Uchiha Tarou sighed inwardly.

They were all the same old ideas. They were not entirely useless, but the facts had already proved that these measures did little.

The Uchiha Clan's influence in the village was still declining day by day, and its reputation was getting worse and worse.

Sometimes, Uchiha Tarou truly could not understand it. They had clearly been working so hard, so why did it feel like the Uchiha were facing increasingly difficult circumstances in the village?

At that moment, a young voice rang out. "Clan Head, I have an idea about making the Uchiha Clan stronger and stronger."

Uchiha Tarou looked up and discovered that Uchiha Yuzuru had already stood.

Seeing this young figure, Uchiha Tarou could not help but feel a trace of curiosity.

What kind of insight would this fourteen-year-old boy, the clan's publicly acknowledged genius of the new generation who had just defeated Fugaku, offer on such a matter?

But curiosity aside, Uchiha Tarou did not hold much hope for Uchiha Yuzuru's suggestion.

Unlike simple combat, one could not offer any effective suggestions in such matters without abundant experience and knowledge.

Clearly, the other clan members thought the same as Uchiha Tarou, and they all looked at Uchiha Yuzuru with amused expressions.

Although they greatly admired Uchiha Yuzuru's strength, this kind of matter had absolutely nothing to do with strength.
