"Then I'll go inside and wait for a bit. Sorry to trouble you, Aunt Mikoto."
Yamei followed Mikoto into the living room, where she served him tea and fruit.

"Yamei, wait here for a moment. I'll go cook."
"Huh!? Let me help." Yamei hurriedly got to his feet.
"How could I let you do that? You're a guest." Mikoto quickly waved her hands in refusal.
"Ah, I'd be bored just sitting around here alone anyway. It's fine if I help with the cooking." Yamei grabbed her hand and smiled.
Mikoto's little hand suddenly recoiled. After meeting Yamei's unusual pink eyes, she immediately looked away, her gaze wandering as she said, "Th-then... sorry to trouble you."
"Ahem, sure." Yamei also realized his actions had been inappropriate and hurried off to prepare the vegetables.
Yamei had not waited long before Fugaku returned ahead of Itachi.
The moment he entered and saw Yamei busy in the kitchen alongside Mikoto, Fugaku froze, suddenly feeling as though something had been added atop his head.
"Clan Head Fugaku."
Yamei naturally heard the movement and came out of the kitchen to greet him.
"You are?" Fugaku frowned.
"Yamei is Itachi's friend. He came looking for Itachi," Mikoto explained as she came out as well.
"So you're Itachi's friend. Hello." Fugaku nodded, shaking Yamei's hand with the expression of a man whose relatives had all died.
Magic Hand!
Material acquired: Dojutsu: Severing Command, Dojutsu Power Enhancement, Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation.
Yamei's eyes suddenly lit up, but before he could speak, the Dojutsu Power harvested from Fugaku instantly surged into his eyes!
Yamei's pupils abruptly contracted, and his figure vanished in an instant.
Watching Yamei leave in a flash, Fugaku's expression changed sharply!
That speed... he had not even been able to react!
Yamei clearly looked no older than Sasuke, so why did he possess such strength!?
What was his purpose in coming to their home? Was he really Itachi's friend? Or had the Third Hokage sent him!?
Fugaku could not help sinking into thought. Then his gaze suddenly fell to the ground.
"Hm!? This is..."
Fugaku reached down and picked up the item on the floor. After examining it with a frown, he abruptly looked at Mikoto's legs.
Mikoto also noticed the pantyhose in Fugaku's hand. Then she lowered her head to look at her own legs and froze where she stood.
When did that happen!?
"You two... were you really cooking just now?" Fugaku finally could not resist asking.
"Are you suspecting me?"
"I... am not..." Fugaku ultimately shook his head. The affairs of the clan had already exhausted him, and he did not want another conflict.
Besides... ever since Sasuke was born, he and Mikoto had never been intimate again.
In the end, there had been no emotional foundation for his marriage to Mikoto. It had all been for the sake of consolidating his position as Clan Head.
And Mikoto was gentle and virtuous. Even without love, she had kept their home in perfect order. He did not want to shatter this peace.
Mikoto also knew this was difficult to explain, so she ultimately returned to the kitchen in silence.
What is going on? How could my... my pantyhose be there... When did that little guy take them... I didn't feel a thing!
Mikoto cooked absentmindedly.
Within a dense forest, Yamei's figure suddenly appeared. His pink eyes snapped open, three tomoe slowly rotating within them before gradually beginning to change...
All at once, the three tomoe connected and began to transform...
Several minutes later, Yamei abruptly opened his eyes once more. His Sharingan had completely evolved from Three Tomoe into a Mangekyō!
A black ring surrounded the edges of his pupils, then rose toward the inner ring like droplets bouncing off water. Three more rings rested within that inner circle, with the pupil at the very center.
"What incredible power! What immense Dojutsu Power!"
After feeling out the power of his Mangekyō, Yamei smiled, then finally could not help bursting into laughter.
No wonder the Uchiha Clan loved laughing so much. The power of the Mangekyō truly was terrifying and intoxicating!
Yamei now had the confidence that even though his body had not fully matured yet, his strength had definitely reached Kage level!
Especially his Dojutsu Power!
Perhaps it was because he had fused with the Byakugan, perhaps because he had continuously plundered Dojutsu Power, or perhaps because his Yin nature was so strong, but his own Dojutsu Power was simply unfathomable!
"Perhaps! Once I obtain the power of the Senju bloodline, I'll be able to raise my Mangekyō to the level of an Eternal Mangekyō! Maybe even evolving a Rinnegan won't be impossible!"
Yamei was overjoyed. He already had cheats, so did he still need to sacrifice the eyes of his blood relatives!? What a joke! Wouldn't that mean I opened them for nothing?
"And... I now possess four different Dojutsu. Hehehe! This feels amazing!"
Yamei glared, and a large tree ahead of him vanished into thin air before reappearing once more.
It had not been transferred. It had been disassembled by Yamei's Dojutsu! Then created again!
That was right. The ability of Yamei's left Mangekyō eye was disassembly!
It could disassemble and disperse objects! Unfortunately, it could not disassemble anything with a soul.
The ability of his right eye was to create, from nothing, things that had been disassembled. It likewise could not create anything with a soul.
Besides these two Dojutsu, he also possessed Amaterasu acquired from Itachi, as well as Severing Command acquired from Fugaku!
Yamei checked the ability of Severing Command and cried out in delight.
Severing Command: Prevents others from using any techniques. Has a thirty-second cooldown after each use.
"This is a powerful silence skill at critical moments!"
Yamei wanted to laugh loudly again. With four Dojutsu at his disposal, he was invincible, wasn't he!
If he could obtain Obito's Kamui as well, what place in this shinobi world would Yamei be unable to go?
Yamei's fighting spirit surged. His Mangekyō suddenly exerted its power, and a circle of pink bones immediately appeared around his body...
"..."
His delighted smile instantly froze.
Expressionlessly, he stared at the massive pink rib cage of his Susanoo.
For some reason, he felt a little embarrassed... Would it be better not to use Susanoo in the future...
Shaking his head, Yamei looked toward his status panel.
Name: Hyakawa Yamei Attributes: Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, Earth, Yin, Yang. Genjutsu: Mist Veil Moon Taijutsu: Art of a Hundred Refinements Swordsmanship: Hundred Rivers Sword Style Secret Techniques: Empathy; Shadow Bloodline: Hyakawa Bloodline Ninjutsu: Three Basic Jutsu, Shadow Clone Technique, Partial Expansion Jutsu, Rasengan; Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu, Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Technique, Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation; Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu; Lightning Style: Lightning Ball, Lightning Style: Chasing Fang; Wind Style: Thousand Faces Wind; Water Style: Water Wall Technique.
It was simply luxurious!
Any one of his genjutsu, taijutsu, or swordsmanship could create an elite Jonin!
Add to that the powerful bloodlines fused from the Uzumaki, Hyuga, and Uchiha, combined with his secret techniques and ninjutsu...
Madara!
Come fight me!!
Huff...
After calming the excitement brought on by his explosive increase in strength, Yamei activated the Body Flicker Technique and rushed toward Uchiha Fugaku's home.
The moment he entered, Fugaku and Mikoto both looked over. The atmosphere was somewhat strange.
"Ahem, I'm truly sorry. Something urgent came up just now. My apologies for the rudeness," Yamei said awkwardly.
"It's nothing. Itachi has already returned. I'll go call him." Fugaku shook his head and got up, heading toward the backyard.
Mikoto's delicate brows furrowed. She hesitated several times, wanting to speak but stopping herself. In the end, she lowered her head in silence.
Yamei naturally noticed the change in Mikoto's mood and was about to ask when Itachi came out. "Yamei, let's go somewhere else."
"Alright." Yamei nodded, and the two left the Uchiha compound.
