Mission Complete, Lucky Draw

Receiving Sarutobi Hiruzen's reply, Uchiha Fugaku could not help but smile.

"Wouldn't it have been better if you had agreed sooner, Lord Hokage?"

"Did you really have to make me say all those extra words? Aren't you tired?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not bother to respond to Uchiha Fugaku's words, choosing instead to lead the Anbu away.

After all, with Uchiha Fugaku present, it was temporarily impossible to annihilate the Uchiha Clan.

He would have to plan for the long term.

Seeing Danzō left behind, Uchiha Fugaku called out to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was about to depart.

"Lord Hokage."

Halted by Uchiha Fugaku, Sarutobi Hiruzen paused for a moment before saying angrily, "Clan Head Fugaku, I have already agreed to your demands. If you continue to push your luck for the sake of the village..."

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression, Uchiha Fugaku understood that today's events had touched upon the Hokage's bottom line.

However, that was not why he had called him back.

"Lord Hokage."

"Shimura Danzō is your comrade-in-arms, after all. For the sake of the village's peace,"

"Take him with you. It is best if you resolve this personally."

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen's body suddenly seemed to lose all its vitality.

Must he really do this?

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of the First Hokage, who had killed his own best friend for the sake of the village.

Is this fate?

However, just as Sarutobi Hiruzen stood in silence, Uchiha Fugaku had already quietly arrived in front of Shimura Danzō and said, "I almost forgot one thing."

Then, under Shimura Danzō's venomous glare, Uchiha Fugaku gouged out the Mangekyo Sharingan that had already lost its luster.

Shimura Danzō's cry of pain startled Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Seeing Uchiha Fugaku treat his former teammate this way, the anger in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart flared up instantly, and he asked furiously, "Uchiha Fugaku, what are you doing? Haven't we already agreed on the terms? Why must you still torture him?"

Uchiha Fugaku ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen's rage, calmly opening his palm as he spoke.

"Lord Hokage, I am merely reclaiming my clan's kekkei genkai."

"I trust you won't stop me, will you?"

Seeing that eye, Sarutobi Hiruzen was rendered speechless.

Because he recognized it as the eye of Uchiha Shisui.

In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen silently carried Shimura Danzō on his back and left the Uchiha compound.

Watching Sarutobi Hiruzen leave with Shimura Danzō, Uchiha Fugaku could not help but find the situation quite interesting.

"Lord Hokage, I wonder if you can truly bring yourself to be ruthless."

Danzō was a trap Uchiha Fugaku had laid for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen killed Danzō, his image in the eyes of the Anbu would inevitably change, and it would become an indelible stain on his reputation; after all, how could anyone trust a man who could kill his own best friend with his own hands?

Furthermore, it would hinder Sarutobi Hiruzen from taking control of the Root, as the Root had been trained by Danzō since childhood and remained loyal only to him.

And if he did not kill Danzō, then Danzō would be a ticking time bomb that would leave Sarutobi Hiruzen unable to eat or sleep in peace.

After all, given Danzō's hatred for him, he would seek revenge sooner or later.

He would never be content with being hidden away by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

And the Uchiha Clan would naturally be able to find new opportunities through Shimura Danzō to force the village to compromise, perhaps even forcing the village to change its name to Uchiha.

As for Shimura Danzō's retaliation, to be honest, Uchiha Fugaku did not take it seriously at all.

As Sarutobi Hiruzen completely disappeared from sight while carrying Shimura Danzō, Uchiha Fugaku's system notification arrived immediately.

"System task detected as completed. Shall the system task 'Night of the Clan Annihilation' begin settlement?"

Uchiha Fugaku had long been looking forward to the task rewards, so he naturally chose to settle.

"System task 'Night of the Clan Annihilation' beginning settlement."

"Uchiha Clan casualties: zero percent. Night of the Clan Annihilation system mission completed perfectly."

"Congratulations to the host for receiving ten Myriad World Draws."

Uchiha Fugaku looked at the newly acquired Myriad World Draws and felt an immediate surge of excitement; he wanted to see what kind of good items he could pull this time.

"System, perform ten Myriad World Draws."

As Uchiha Fugaku's thought flickered, the massive, colorful roulette wheel in the system space began to rotate slowly.

"Congratulations to the host for drawing green-tier reward: Youth-Preserving Pill x3."

"Congratulations to the host for drawing white-tier item: Lingerie x3."

"Congratulations to the host for drawing white-tier item: Toilet Paper x3 boxes."

"Congratulations to the host for drawing white-tier item: Ordinary Cookbook x1."

"Congratulations to the host for drawing gold-tier item: Enlightenment Tea x3 leaves."

"Congratulations to the host for drawing blue-tier item: Ability Card - Master-level Taijutsu Training."

Uchiha Fugaku was not overly disappointed with this round of draws; although he had pulled quite a few white-tier items, the appearance of something as good as the Enlightenment Tea made it worthwhile.

His hopes of attempting to cultivate immortality would all rest on this.

However, the other items were not entirely useless either; at the very least, the Youth-Preserving Pill and the Master-level Taijutsu Training ability card were quite useful to him.

Uchiha Fugaku immediately took out the Master-level Taijutsu Training ability card.

After consulting the system, Uchiha Fugaku understood the function of this Master-level Taijutsu Training.

It would grant him the ability of a master-level taijutsu instructor, allowing him to design reasonable physical training regimens for himself or others.

Without hesitation, Uchiha Fugaku used it directly.

As Uchiha Fugaku activated the card, countless methods and knowledge regarding physical conditioning flooded into his mind.

Fortunately, thanks to his transmigration and the awakening of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Uchiha Fugaku safely absorbed all the knowledge contained within.

As Uchiha Fugaku perfectly integrated the knowledge, a new entry for "Taijutsu Training" appeared on his system panel.

Uchiha Fugaku glanced at the moon and realized it was already nearing dawn.

The events of tonight should be over now.

He headed back toward his home.

Pushing open his front door, he saw the living room lights were still on; Uchiha Mikoto, having settled Itachi, was sitting there quietly waiting for him.

Seeing this, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but feel a pang of tenderness.

"Mikoto, I'm home."

Seeing Fugaku return, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but rush into his arms.

"Fugaku, I was worried to death when you didn't come back."

Seeing Uchiha Mikoto silently weeping in his embrace, Uchiha Fugaku felt his heart ache and immediately comforted her.

"Rest assured, didn't I promise you before I left?"

"I will be fine, the clan will be fine, and our family will be fine."

"Mm."

Seeing the beautiful Uchiha Mikoto nestled in his arms, Uchiha Fugaku's heart stirred.

He then suddenly scooped Uchiha Mikoto up into his arms.

"Let's go, back to the bedroom, I'll cherish you properly."

"What are you doing? Itachi and Sasuke are still here."

"What am I doing? Naturally, I'm doing what a husband and wife should do."

"As for them, they should be asleep and won't hear a thing."

"Don't, be gentle, don't wake Itachi."

"It's fine, I used a genjutsu on him; he won't wake up until tomorrow morning."

"You're so bad."

"Come, wear this."

"Wait, something's not right... did I forget something?"

"Forget it, if I forgot it, it wasn't important anyway."

While Uchiha Fugaku was enjoying himself at home.

Uchiha Setsuna led a group of elders to retreat to the center of the clan grounds, waiting for Uchiha Fugaku's next set of instructions.

"How is Clan Head Uchiha Zhi doing?"

Hearing Uchiha Setsuna's inquiry, Uchiha Zhi's expression turned somewhat strange before he replied.

"Clan Head Fugaku has likely forgotten about us; he has already resolved everything and returned."

????

Now it was the turn of Uchiha Setsuna and the remaining elders to be bewildered.

"What do you mean he forgot about us?"

They had originally assumed that Fugaku had summoned them to exert pressure or something similar, and that they might have a chance to take action.

They never expected that he had truly just brought them along to watch the show.

However, Uchiha Setsuna could only dismiss them for now and return to rest.

As for settling scores with Fugaku for forgetting them? Forget it. They had all seen the Complete Susanoo flying in the sky just moments ago.

They didn't dare to go; they absolutely didn't dare to go.

The next day.

Uchiha Fugaku felt the hollowness in his kidneys and, leaning against the wall, managed to make his way to the living room.

Yet, he saw his son, Uchiha Itachi, already sitting in the living room waiting for him.

Seeing Itachi, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but straighten his posture and walk in with long strides; after all, he still had to maintain his dignity as a father.

"Up so early, Itachi?"

Seeing his father, Fugaku, Itachi began to greet Uchiha Fugaku.

"Good morning, Father."

Seeing Uchiha Itachi fall silent after the greeting, Uchiha Fugaku voiced his arrangements for him.

"Itachi, I have been pushing you too hard in the past."

"Do not concern yourself with village affairs anymore."

"Go to the Hokage today and resign from your position in the Anbu."

"From now on, just help out at the Military Police Force."

"In your spare time, take good care of your younger brother, Sasuke."

"Oh, right, it was that girl Izumi Uchiha who brought you back yesterday; you should go and thank her properly today."

"Don't lose your temper with her again; if I hear any complaints from her, don't blame me for disciplining you."

Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's arrangements, Itachi simply agreed in silence.

And just as the two remained silent, Uchiha Mikoto walked in carrying the breakfast she had just prepared.
