One moment it was a tense standoff, the next, not a single person remained?
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu's faces turned ashen.
A few seconds later, they stormed off, sleeves flicking angrily.
The Uchiha Hawks were dumbfounded.
They had just been ready to fight to the death.
The Conservatives, however, breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, they would understand the reason.
That day, Uchiha Shisui stepped out of his home and took one step towards the Hokage Building.
That single step was enough to make Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been sitting comfortably, panic.
He immediately intervened, ordering everyone to retreat and not to provoke the Uchiha Clan members without cause.
At this time, the clan members realized just how much deterrence Uchiha Shisui possessed.
This news excited both the Uchiha Hawks and the Conservatives.
For the Hawks, Uchiha Shisui must have had a trump card they didn't know about.
For the Conservatives, Uchiha Shisui's existence would surely delay the Hawks' coup.
Perhaps it could even be like boiling a frog in warm water, making the Hawks slowly give up.
This way, the Uchiha would slowly get better!
A piece of gossip spread through the village: "The Uchiha's eyes can not only control the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, but also control people's hearts. Especially Uchiha Shisui's eyes are the most special, which is why they made him Clan Head!"
This news immediately reminded the villagers of the hatred from the Nine-Tails Night, making them even more hostile and wary of the Uchiha Clan.
The slightly eased relationship between the two sides returned to freezing point.
This made the clan members, who had just felt the Uchiha Clan was on the upswing, extremely angry.
As for this matter, the Hokage Building remained silent.
Those who knew of Uchiha Shisui's deterrence hoped he would step forward and force Sarutobi Hiruzen to speak justice.
But Uchiha Shisui shook his head and refused.
"What I want is deterrence, not threats."
This made the clan members feel as if they had lost their hope in Uchiha Shisui, filling them with dejection and powerlessness.
The Uchiha Clan once again fell into a quagmire, struggling in pain.
Many people watched from the surroundings, yet no one extended a helping hand.
This filled them with sorrow and despair.
In their pair of blood-red Sharingan, unconsciously, the color of hatred gradually began to appear.
Although the Uchiha Clan was under twenty-four-hour surveillance.
There were still priorities.
The highest priority was naturally Uchiha Shisui.
Next were Fugaku Uchiha, Uchiha Hachidai, and others.
After that came the Uchiha Clan members.
However, Jinghuo Uchiha still ranked ahead of the clan members.
Although Jinghuo Uchiha was crippled, the disaster he had once caused could not be ignored.
He understood his situation and that being monitored was normal.
But being monitored for an hour and being monitored twenty-four hours a day were clearly different.
Not to mention he had been monitored for nearly a year!
Jinghuo Uchiha was now six years old.
With his eyes closed, he looked peaceful, but the turmoil in his heart was even greater.

"I really want to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen!" Jinghuo Uchiha lamented in his heart.
If you feel this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
If his Mangekyo Sharingan were still intact, with the Sacrifice Ability, he would have had a decent chance of killing Sarutobi Hiruzen.
It's a shame his eyes are gone.
However, he also had something to be happy about—he could finally go outside!
Jinghuo Uchiha, who hadn't left his home in nearly a year, immediately drew the tense attention of the Anbu the moment he stepped out, fearing he might silently walk to the Village Center and activate Susanoo.
But this tension dissolved in the next second.
After all, Jinghuo Uchiha was crippled.
Still, they kept a close watch on Jinghuo Uchiha's movements.
When they discovered he was heading towards the back mountain of the Uchiha Clan Land, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Amidst the covert communication of the Anbu members, one silver-haired Anbu was chosen.
He put away his Make Out Paradise and quickly followed.
Yet, beneath the smiling fox mask, a pair of listless, dead fish eyes could be vaguely seen.
Jinghuo Uchiha used his chakra to perceive the world, but the range was limited, so he could only faintly sense someone following him, but he didn't care.
If it were Danzo Shimura's people, then today would be the day of the Uchiha Coup.
Thinking this, he felt a flicker of anticipation.
Because the day of the Uchiha Coup meant he could finally kill Danzo Shimura.
The back mountain.
With Jinghuo Uchiha's arrival, the quiet back mountain seemed to regain a bit of its former liveliness.
Two figures emerged in his memories.
One was a little boy with a crew cut constantly doing basic training;
Another was a delicate little boy constantly practicing shuriken.
The two little boys hadn't spoken a word, but the memories linked them together.
Jinghuo Uchiha knew why Sasuke Uchiha wasn't here.
Firstly, Sasuke Uchiha had stopped practicing shuriken and switched to ninjutsu like Great Fireball, practicing in places like the lake.
Secondly, he was attending school.
Six months ago, the Ninja Academy had started.
Jinghuo Uchiha didn't go.
Everyone thought it was natural.
Firstly, Jinghuo Uchiha was crippled.
Secondly, not all clan children necessarily attended the Ninja Academy.
In the eyes of the villagers, the Ninja Academy was a place to learn ninjutsu.
But in the eyes of the clans, the Ninja Academy was a place for networking.
And these two things, Jinghuo Uchiha didn't need to obtain from there.
Therefore, Jinghuo Uchiha wasn't keen on the Jonin-level school.
Now, Jinghuo Uchiha looked at the familiar forest, a faint smile appearing on his face.
He felt a bit restless.
After nearly a year of constantly cultivating Fire Style Chakra Mode, like a cultivator, he felt his body was a bit out of sorts.
He decided to act immediately.
Push-ups, sit-ups, frog jumps...
The silver-haired Anbu wearing a smiling fox mask not far away glanced at him, then took out Make Out Paradise from his ninja pouch, his dead fish eyes instantly disappearing.
He narrowed his eyes, reading with enjoyment and seriousness.
Time flowed like an hourglass, and before he knew it, the sun began to set in the west.
Jinghuo Uchiha, who had been training, sensed the light dimming and noticed the village seemed to be becoming more lively.
Jinghuo Uchiha remembered that this was around the time the Ninja Academy let out.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.
"Let's go provoke them a bit."
At the bustling entrance of the Ninja Academy, some parents who had free time came to pick up their children.
Seeing their parents, some children wailed about not being able to play, while others rejoiced at their parents' unexpected arrival.
Amidst this liveliness, a little boy with a crew cut walked over with his eyes closed, his expression calm.
