"Father!" Just then, Uchiha Fugaku walked into the department head's office. "You sent for me!"

"As the young clan head, go and see Uchiha Dan. Find out what exactly he wants," Uchiha Fukuyama said nonchalantly, his face showing no emotion. "Remember, be polite!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Uchiha Fugaku headed straight for the police department's prison.

"Yo, isn't this the young clan head?" Uchiha Dan sneered as soon as he saw Uchiha Fugaku. "Have you come to execute me?"

At this time, Uchiha Fugaku had just turned 12, but he didn't look like a child at all. Instead, he was old-fashioned and mature, appearing even more so than his father.

He always wore a gloomy expression, and no one knew what he was worrying about.

"Brother Dan, you jest!" Uchiha Fugaku tried to build rapport with Uchiha Dan.

Uchiha Dan quickly stopped him: "Don't! I can't accept that."

"You are the young clan head of the Uchiha Clan, high and mighty. I'm someone who has been removed from the clan registry. Let's not mess up our address terms in the future. Just call me by my name."

"Brother Dan, you jest!" Uchiha Fugaku said calmly.

"Am I giving you too much face? Who told you I was joking?" Uchiha Dan's expression immediately changed, and he said coldly, "And who is your brother? If you dare to call me that again, I'll kill you."

Facing Uchiha Dan's cold, murderous gaze, Uchiha Fugaku's heart trembled.

Why isn't this guy playing by the rules? He changes his mood so quickly, and he doesn't have the composure of a 17-year-old.

"Alright, Dan, I..."

"Shut up!" Uchiha Dan forcefully interrupted Fugaku's words. "Just tell me directly, what did your father send you here for? I don't have time to waste with you."

Fugaku felt incredibly uncomfortable. His intelligence and composure were completely ineffective; this person in front of him acted completely outside the rules.

After a while, Uchiha Fugaku, having adjusted his emotions, said, "My father sent me to ask you how you would be willing to let this matter go. We, the Uchiha Clan, can show sincerity."

"I don't understand what you mean!" Uchiha Dan asked in confusion. "At the hospital, I saved Uchiha Rei. I thought, if it wasn't a kindness, it should at least be a favor, right?"

Uchiha Fugaku took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "It is indeed a kindness. We, the Uchiha Clan, will not forget it."

"Heh! And the result?" Uchiha Dan asked with immense sarcasm.

"Uchiha En actually threatened to retaliate against me and even brought people to surround my family's general store. You should go ask him, what the hell does he want?"

"So at that time, I thought, everyone in your Uchiha Clan are ungrateful white-eyed wolves. If I get injured in the future, I absolutely must not get treated, as it will only bring endless trouble."

"Dan, I think there must be some misunderstanding." Uchiha Fugaku was about to explain.

Uchiha Dan waved his hand: "There is no misunderstanding. You can go ask the people from your Uchiha Clan who went to the hospital with you. What I'm saying is the truth, there's no misunderstanding whatsoever."

"I saved just one person, and you brought people to seal my family's shop and scare my adoptive parents."

"If I had treated nine people, wouldn't you have directly killed my whole family?"

"I'm a timid person who always wants to avoid trouble."

"Unfortunately, I still couldn't avoid it. Who would have thought that that scoundrel Uchiha En would directly attack me? He was fine, but I was the one arrested."

"Fugaku, you tell me, where should your Uncle Dan go to reason with anyone?"

"Unc... Uncle?" Uchiha Fugaku was stunned by Uchiha Dan's shamelessness.

"Oh my, you child, why are you so polite?" Uchiha Dan said with fake politeness. "But I'm happy you're willing to call me uncle!"

"I..." Uchiha Fugaku really wanted to curse, but he held it back tightly.

My mind is completely broken...

"Dan, there must be a way to resolve this matter!" Uchiha Fugaku suppressed all his emotions. "On behalf of the Uchiha Clan, I apologize to you. After Uchiha En and the others recover, I will also demand that they come and apologize to you. What do you think?"

"Apologize?"

"Just now you were calling me uncle when you were begging, and now that the truth is revealed, you're calling me by my name. Alas, forget it, you can go!" Uchiha Dan said with disappointment. "I'll just pretend I don't have a nephew like you!"

"Uchiha Dan!" Uchiha Fugaku could no longer suppress his anger and roared, "Do you really want to be an enemy of our Uchiha Clan? Have you considered the consequences?"

"Hahaha! Consequences?" Uchiha Dan immediately laughed, a very happy laugh. "Do you really think I'm afraid of your Uchiha Clan?"

"To tell you the truth, the money I've given my adoptive parents over the years is enough for them to live a life of pampered wealth for the rest of their lives."

"It's just that they're used to being diligent and saved all the money for me, saying it was to be kept for when I get married."

"So you can seal it, smash my family's shop, it's fine. It's not worth much anyway."

"As for your threat, it's meaningless to me," Uchiha Dan laughed. "Do you think that because I'm locked up here, you are the knife and I am the fish?"

As his voice fell, Uchiha Dan suddenly disappeared from his spot and reappeared in front of Uchiha Fugaku, startling him greatly.

"You little bastard, listen carefully. There's no prison in this world that can hold me," Uchiha Dan said coldly. "You could only capture me because I was willing to come."

"Now, I don't want to stay here anymore, so go back and tell your father to go die!"

After speaking, Uchiha Dan's figure disappeared again and reappeared directly in the general store at home.

"Dan?" Namikaze Toneri saw Uchiha Dan suddenly appear and was both surprised and delighted. "You've been released?"

"Haha, yes, Uncle. It's alright now."

Although he had long considered Namikaze Toneri as his father, Uchiha Dan had called him uncle from the very first day and hadn't changed his address in all these years.

"No, how did you appear so suddenly?" Namikaze Toneri suddenly realized and asked.

"Don't worry about the details, let's go home!"

"Alright, this business isn't going anywhere today anyway. There's not a single person in the shop so far. Whatever, let's go home. I'll go call your aunt from the back."

Just as their family was enjoying a warm moment, Uchiha Fukuyama was left speechless after hearing Uchiha Fugaku's report, utterly shocked.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique, huh?"

At this moment, Uchiha Fukuyama couldn't care less about Uchiha Dan's escape; his mind was in turmoil.

That was the Flying Thunder God Technique!

The Flying Thunder God Technique that countless people wanted to learn but couldn't even grasp the basics of!

Not to mention Uchiha Dan's beast-like physical prowess and his Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Just this Flying Thunder God Technique alone guaranteed that they couldn't do anything about Uchiha Dan.

He had personally witnessed Tobirama Senju use the Flying Thunder God Technique on the battlefield; he would never forget that scene in his lifetime.

With the strength Uchiha Dan had displayed, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Combined with this Flying Thunder God Technique, if it truly came down to a fight to the death, even the Uchiha Clan could suffer heavy losses.

But was a conflict between children really worth escalating into a life-or-death struggle?

Moreover, Uchiha Fukuyama had vast experience.

Why did Uchiha Dan, who had always kept a low profile, never showing his strength and not getting angry even when called a good-for-nothing, dare to make a move today?

Had he gone mad?

No, he was establishing his authority!

There was only one answer Uchiha Fukuyama could think of: Uchiha Dan's wings had likely grown strong, and he no longer needed to endure.

If this guess was true, it meant that the strength Uchiha Dan had displayed was merely the tip of the iceberg.

The truth was, he likely no longer needed to be concerned about anyone.
