Uchiha: The More Chaotic, The Stronger!

BOOM!!

The conference room doors were shoved open with a heavy thud.

A figure radiating a chilling aura, wrapped in bandages, appeared at the entrance.

Uchiha Itachi!

He had finally managed to escape from the clutches of Kakuzu.

However, the moment he returned to the village, he heard the news of Shisui's disappearance and the regime change within the Uchiha.

Furthermore, under the subtle guidance of the village's higher-ups, he had already concluded that Shisui's disappearance was the work of Uchiha White Dove.

After all, the person who stood to gain the most after Shisui vanished was none other than him.

"Uchiha White Dove!"

He glared at the figure sitting high in his father's former seat, his tone as icy as if it were frozen.

In his heart, he had always looked upon Shisui as an older brother.

Now that his brother was missing, and the culprit behind it was not only unscathed but had usurped his father's position as Police Force Captain, how could he not be furious?

White Dove, sitting high in the seat, watched Uchiha Itachi's state not with anger, but with a desire to laugh.

This pretentious brat, who never held the Uchiha in his eyes and always thought with a "Hokage mindset," was actually losing his composure like this—it was truly amusing.

If only he had a camera in his hand; otherwise, he would have at least snapped a photo of this expression. Looking at it once a day would surely improve his mood.

"Use my title when you're at work. I am not Fugaku; I won't indulge you!"

White Dove lazily reprimanded him.

"It was you, it was you, wasn't it? Shisui's disappearance was your doing!"

Uchiha Itachi stared fixedly at White Dove, his tone frantic and resolute.

White Dove retorted with disdain:

"Do you have any evidence for that? Or do you think your empty words are enough to pin Shisui's disappearance on me?"

What the other party said was naturally the truth, but... there was no evidence!

If he were just an ordinary Uchiha clansman, the other party, relying on his strength and status as the clan leader's son, would indeed not need evidence.

But the problem was that he was not only the leader of the "New Uchiha" but also the Police Force Captain. In terms of status, he was no lower than the boy's father, so if the boy wanted to cause trouble, he couldn't just do it without evidence or unless he was stronger.

Uchiha Kuman walked up to Itachi, his mountain-like, sturdy frame carrying an imposing pressure as he barked:

"Itachi, the Police Force does not welcome an Anbu member like you. Leave at once!"

As a pillar of the Hawk Faction, he had always looked down on Fugaku, a clan leader who only knew how to balance interests, let alone his arrogant and unsociable eldest son who had joined the Anbu.

The boy was indeed a genius; no one denied that.

But no one liked his usual demeanor. Whenever he met his clansmen, he wore that "poker face," as if the Uchiha owed him something.

One had to know that as the clan leader's son, he enjoyed the highest level of resources within the clan, which was why his strength grew so rapidly. Otherwise, no matter how good one's talent was, without resources, it would be useless, as the body simply couldn't sustain the growth.

Moreover, the way he stood on the side of the village was so blatant it didn't even look like an act. If not for Uchiha Fugaku claiming his son joined the Anbu to act as a spy, the clan would have turned on him long ago.

Therefore, there was a reason why Uchiha Kuman was being so blunt now.

"This has nothing to do with you!"

Uchiha Itachi swept a glance at Uchiha Kuman before locking his gaze back on Uchiha White Dove, intent on settling the score.

He could never tolerate a guy who killed Shisui and usurped his father's position as Police Force Captain sitting there.

"Tsk tsk... is this the so-called Hokage mindset? He doesn't even hold the 'narrow-minded' Uchiha in his eyes!"

Sitting in the main seat, White Dove sighed as he watched the "filial son" at the entrance staring daggers at him.

The boy never considered the "narrow-minded" Uchiha as his own kin, which explained why he was so decisive when slaughtering the clan in the original plot. But with him here now, the boy was in for a world of pain.

"Uchiha Itachi!!"

Uchiha Kuman was enraged.

Even if you are the clan leader's son, that is no reason to ignore me.

Whoosh!

He threw a right hook.

Did the boy really think he had no temper?

The point was... this was a golden opportunity to show where he stood.

The boy was the son of the former leader, but he recognized Uchiha White Dove as the leader of the "New Uchiha." Even if he hadn't officially registered as a New Uchiha yet, his family had, so his loyalties were clear.

Falling out with Uchiha Itachi now would also signal that while their Hawk Faction was supposedly neutral, they were leaning toward the New Uchiha.

Slap!

Itachi's combat instincts were top-tier, and he blocked the strike at the last possible second, though the impact forced him to retreat several steps.

"You?"

He looked at Uchiha Kuman, unable to understand why the other party was attacking him; he had only come to settle accounts with Uchiha White Dove.

As the others in the conference room were about to move, they noticed Uchiha White Dove raise his right hand in a gesture to stop. They understood his intent instantly and all sat back in their seats to watch the show.

Uchiha Kuman heard no command to stop, nor did anyone come to assist, so he immediately grasped White Dove's meaning.

He was being allowed to deal with this "son of the former Police Force Captain" to give him a chance to show his worth.

Realizing this, he naturally launched his attack, brimming with fighting spirit.

Because the space here was limited, both of them tacitly chose to engage in taijutsu.

As for the Uchiha outside, although they sensed the battle, upon seeing White Dove and the captains sitting calmly in their seats, they all tacitly stepped back to clear space for the fight.

The intensity of a duel between two Uchiha was easy to imagine.

Their speed was so fast that they were nearly reduced to afterimages.

This was what a Jonin-level battle looked like!

Furthermore, with no weaknesses in ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu—even their shortcomings were at the Jonin level—this was truly not something a Genin could compare to.

Of course, the protagonist is an exception; that guy conquered the world as a Genin and even saved it.

After a few exchanges, Uchiha Itachi's eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and three tomoe emerged within them.

Sharingan!

If it were just taijutsu, how could he possibly be a match for an opponent like Uchiha Kuman, who specialized in physical combat?

After activating the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, even setting aside everything else, the insight it provided was enough to elevate his taijutsu by more than one grade.

In the three-tomoe state, one could easily deflect bullets, provided the body could withstand the strain.

With such powerful insight, it was no wonder there was a qualitative gap in strength between a three-tomoe Uchiha and an ordinary one.

After Itachi activated his Sharingan, he instantly became at ease, even gaining the upper hand.

Uchiha Kuman naturally would not be careless; after all, his opponent was a genius of the Uchiha clan. In a place like the ninja world, those who earned the title of genius were never simple, so he also activated his Sharingan.

Even after both had activated their Sharingan, Uchiha Kuman remained at a disadvantage.

"As expected of a genius among the Uchiha who can rival Shisui!"

White Dove sighed in a low voice.

Only after seeing it up close did he understand that the boy's arrogance was backed by substance.

Even though he had only graduated a year ago, his ocular power was already far stronger than that of Uchiha Kuman, who was in the prime of his ninja career.

The title of genius was truly well-deserved.

"No way..."

Behind him, Tekka looked somewhat surprised upon hearing White Dove's words.

Uchiha Kuman was a core member of the Hawk Faction and an elite Jonin who was definitely among the top ten in strength within the entire Uchiha clan; how could he possibly lose to a brat who had only graduated a year ago?

But the reality proved White Dove's judgment correct. After a few more rounds, Itachi's eyes locked directly with Uchiha Kuman's, and the two began a contest of ocular power.

If it were a contest of taijutsu, it would naturally be Uchiha Itachi's weakness; even if he practiced for a few more years, he might not be a match for Uchiha Kuman.

But when it came to the Sharingan... a genius is just that unreasonable.

Having awakened the three tomoe only a few years ago, his ocular power had already surpassed that of someone with over a decade of experience.

However, this might not necessarily be a good thing.

After all, ocular power equals ultimate Yin Release!

And Yin Release represents spiritual energy; the stronger the Yin Release, the stronger the obsession or willpower.

Case closed!

Whether it was Shisui or Itachi, the reason their ocular power was so strong was because they were crazy enough.

The crazier the Uchiha, the stronger they were... no wonder the Second Hokage said the Uchiha were born evil and was extremely wary of them; one really couldn't say he was wrong.

After resolving Uchiha Kuman with a single genjutsu, Uchiha Itachi shifted his gaze toward White Dove.

The intent was clear: he was prepared to take him down to interrogate him about Shisui.

But before he could even speak, he heard the sound of a pigeon, which should have been impossible to hear in this place.

Coo!

Then, Itachi suddenly felt a chill in his waist and abdomen, followed by an excruciating, bone-deep pain.

The surrounding Uchiha also wore expressions of shock on their faces.
