Funeral

In the original story, if Uchiha Itachi hadn't joined the Root team and worked for Shimura Danzō Uchiha Clan might have been delayed for a long time. Furthermore, Uchiha Itachi wouldn't have needed to take the blame for the entire Konoha, becoming the murderer who wiped out his clan and the person his own younger brother hated most.

Therefore, whenever Uchiha Yue thought about the possibility of being selected for the "Root" team, his mood became depressed. Undoubtedly, Uchiha Yue didn't want to become like Shimura Danzō, or a machine serving the interests of Konoha. It was precisely for this reason that Uchiha Yue needed to find a way to thwart Shimura Danzō's two-birds-with-one-stone plan. Of course, if Uchiha Yue truly had no other choice, he might directly refuse Shimura Danzō's invitation and refuse to become Anbu.

After all, Uchiha Yue had Tsunade and the support of the Uchiha Clan behind him.

Even if Shimura Danzō were to force Uchiha Yue do so, he would need to consider the power behind him.

Having devised a way to thwart Shimura Danzō, Uchiha Yue lived a very disciplined life from then on. However, this disciplined life might have seemed like torture to ordinary people. Besides training, Uchiha Yue spent his days researching the creation of new secret medicines and the basic theories of new ninjutsu with Tsunade. Therefore, Uchiha Yue practically lived the life of a "homebody," spending most of his time at Tsunade's residence and rarely meeting up with friends or companions.

During morning and nighttime training, Uchiha Yue would set aside some time to organize his spiritual energy and accumulate chakra. As for the other training programs, Uchiha Yue would generally consolidate his previous training results and shift his focus entirely to the Basic Shatter Step training of the Yagami Clan.

There's no doubt that the perfect form of the Basic Shatter Step, namely the Flash Step, was simply too tempting for Uchiha Yue.

Whenever Uchiha Yue thought about the possibility of mastering Space-Time Ninjutsu, his mind would become excited.

However, Tsunade considered Uchiha Yue's practice of Basic Shatter Step as somewhat of a waste of time. So, as soon as Uchiha Yue recovered from his injuries, Tsunade resumed her own methods of training him. Each session of this Uchiha Yue, death-defying training nearly drained Uchiha Yue of his stamina. However, Tsunade's hellish training had no effect whatsoever, because Uchiha Yue, whenever he had free time, would still insist on completing his Basic Shatter Step training, even if it meant collapsing in bed from exhaustion.

With Uchiha Yue spending his days training at Tsunade's residence, the situation in Konoha finally stabilized. The two powerful clans, the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan, were still secretly vying for power. However, the Hyuga Clan, which had become a rising force in Konoha, was growing rapidly and was subtly suppressing the former powerful Uchiha Clan.

However, during Uchiha Fugaku's several visits to Tsunade's residence and to see Uchiha Yue, Uchiha Fugaku did not feel dejected despite the suppression of the Uchiha Clan. On the contrary, his eyes were filled with excitement each time he visited. Clearly, Uchiha Fugaku had gathered some information about the Uchiha Yue Hyuga Clan during this time. If he handed that information over to Uchiha Yue Uchiha Fugaku, and she then passed it on to Uchiha Yue Shimura Danzō, the Hyuga Clan's good days would be over.

Under Hyuga Hiashi's leadership, the Hyuga Clan has yet to realize the disadvantages of their rapid development.

It's important to understand that the Uchiha Clan's rise to prominence in Konoha was the result of countless years of accumulation and refinement. Compared to the newly powerful Hyuga Clan, the Uchiha Clan possessed a much deeper foundation. However, Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga Clan, failed to grasp this fact. Therefore, even Uchiha Yue was well aware that the Hyuga Clan would inevitably suffer in the near future, and that this suffering would come from the combined forces of the Uchiha Clan and Shimura Danzō.

And so, Uchiha Yue stayed at Tsunade's residence for two whole weeks, training there.

During his two weeks of training, Uchiha Yue consolidated his strength and made some new improvements. However, in the days to come, Uchiha Yue was destined to be busy. The reasons for this were twofold: first, Uchiha Yue had Tsunade Uchiha Yue to continue working at the Ninja Hospital Uchiha Yue; second, he was to participate in the Anbu selection exam; and third, the funerals for the ninjas who died in the war in Konoha Uchiha Yue to be held after the war ended.

Almost every year, Uchiha Yue would take time to attend the funerals of the fallen ninjas.

However, in the past, when Uchiha Yue attended funerals, he usually only needed to go through the motions, since he accompanied Tsunade. But this time, Uchiha Yue would finally have to attend a proper funeral. Because today's funeral was for the fallen ninja of the Uchiha Clan, as well as those of the Hyuga Clan. Therefore, before dawn, Uchiha Yue had already gotten up, changed into a black kimono, and joined the current Uchiha Clan head Uchiha Fugaku, to prepare for the upcoming funeral.

"Moon Lord, do you know why our Uchiha Clan is holding a funeral together with the Hyuga Clan?"

Walking with Uchiha Yue on the way to the funeral, the elite Uchiha Clan from the Uchiha Fugaku surrounded them. One of them calmly said to Uchiha Yue beside him, "Actually, our Uchiha Clan originally planned to hold a funeral for our fallen elites today. However, after Hyuga Hiashi Uchiha Clan today. It seems he intends to use the funeral to suppress our Uchiha Clan Hyuga Clan!"

"Hyuga Hiashi has been blinded by greed."

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Uchiha Yue's lips curled into a mocking smile. He said, "Hyuga Hiashi sensed the Hyuga Clan's rapid rise and truly elevated Hyuga Clan to the status of a powerful clan in Konoha. Unfortunately, Hyuga Hiashi has remained oblivious to the fact that his Hyuga Clan is already in deep trouble. Right now, the Hyuga Clan is far too arrogant, angering too many other clans in the village. I imagine Hiashi's expression will be quite interesting when he sees the outcome of their funeral being held alongside our Uchiha Clan Hyuga Clan Hyuga Hiashi!"

"Haha, Moon Lord, you're right!"

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Uchiha Fugaku burst into laughter, clearly agreeing with Uchiha Yue's method.

But...

Just as Uchiha Fugaku shifted his gaze to the front and saw the person who had suddenly appeared, the smile on his face slowly faded.

Then, a serious look flashed across Uchiha Fugaku's eyes as he solemnly said:

"Yue-kun, it seems she's here to see you. Be careful what you say."
