Uchiha Akame

As soon as Uchiha Itachi released Tsukuyomi, Uchiha Akame collapsed to the ground and began gasping for breath.

After a while, Uchiha Akame, who had been slashed for three days and three nights in Tsukuyomi Space, still stubbornly said,

"Traitor, even if you slash me for three days and three nights, I still won't submit."

"I won't train in Taijutsu. I said I wouldn't, so I won't."

Seeing that Uchiha Akame was still so stubborn, Uchiha Itachi's anger faded. He stepped aside, clearing the way, and said,

"If that's the case, then go home."

After all, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but admire Uchiha Akame's toughness.

Uchiha Akame couldn't help being startled by this. Though he wondered why Uchiha Itachi was letting him off, all he wanted now was to go home and rest. After all, after being slashed for three days and three nights, he had reached his limit.

If he had to go through it again, Uchiha Akame couldn't guarantee he would hold out.

With the two men beside him supporting him, Uchiha Akame headed toward home.

But just as the three of them were about to leave, Uchiha Itachi's voice rang out again.

"I said Uchiha Akame could leave. Did I say you two could leave?"

Uchiha Mizube and Uchiha Sauna, who were helping Uchiha Akame leave, heard this and answered boldly,

"What do we have to do to leave?"

After all, their big brother had endured that Genjutsu, and they believed they were just as capable and could tough it out too.

Hearing this and seeing their expressions, Uchiha Itachi understood what they were thinking.

So he acted decisively, dragging the two of them in and patiently getting to work with his blade.

Let's see if you're all as tough as Uchiha Akame.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Mizube and Uchiha Sauna lasted only a day before they gave out and began begging for mercy. But how could Uchiha Itachi let them off now?

They weren't as tough as Uchiha Akame, and making such bold claims came at a price.

Uchiha Itachi slashed at the two of them for another night before releasing Tsukuyomi.

After Tsukuyomi ended, they collapsed to the ground just like Uchiha Akame.

But unlike Uchiha Akame, their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at Uchiha Itachi.

After regaining some strength, Uchiha Mizube and Uchiha Sauna hurried off to resume training.

Uchiha Akame had watched their performance. In his eyes, his two former friends now had a new label: cowards.

I, Uchiha Akame, took three days and three nights of this without giving up. How could you give up when you're supposed to be my friends?

But Uchiha Mizube and Uchiha Sauna had once been his friends, so Uchiha Akame said nothing. He only snorted, then stubbornly staggered home by himself.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Mizube and Uchiha Sauna kept their heads down in the crowd and obediently trained.

After all, in the illusion, Uchiha Itachi had told them what they had to do to leave: endure three days and three nights of being slashed without begging for mercy. Then they would be allowed to leave and train on their own.

Most of the other Uchiha who had been eager to give it a try after seeing Uchiha Akame chose to give up after seeing those two in that state. They obediently went back to training.

Although Uchiha Mizube and Uchiha Sauna had failed, that didn't mean they were weak.

Still, even with their example to learn from, the Uchiha Clan had never been short of challengers.

A few more clan members tried their luck and challenged Uchiha Itachi.

Unfortunately, none of them could hold out, and they had no choice but to go back and train in Taijutsu.

Watching how Uchiha Itachi handled things from a distance, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but nod.

After all, in this life, he was Uchiha Itachi's father, so he ought to show some concern.

Uchiha Fugaku went home, changed clothes, then headed to Uchiha Oda's restaurant.

When Uchiha Fugaku arrived, he saw that Uchiha Oda and two other Uchiha were already waiting there.

He searched his memory for a moment before recalling their names.

Kojima Uchiha and Tanaka Uchiha.

Uchiha Oda and the other two came over to greet Uchiha Fugaku.

"Clan Head, what brings you here?"

Hearing their question, Uchiha Fugaku smiled.

"What, you don't welcome me?"

The three hurriedly shook their heads at the clan head's joke.

"Not at all, not at all..."

Seeing their reaction, Uchiha Fugaku interrupted them.

"Don't worry, I'm just joking."

"We're short on time and have a lot to do, so let's get started."

"I have other things to take care of."

Hearing this, Uchiha Oda and the other two didn't dare dawdle. They led Uchiha Fugaku into the kitchen.

The kitchen had already been renovated according to Uchiha Fugaku's instructions.

Looking at the well-prepared equipment, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help praising them.

"Good work getting everything ready."

Then Uchiha Fugaku picked up a kitchen knife and said,

"Let's begin."

"Yes."

Uchiha Fugaku began teaching them how to cook Chinese food and stir-fry dishes.

The others didn't dare slack off. They paid close attention and started learning.

Two hours later.

Uchiha Fugaku watched the three of them practicing in the kitchen and couldn't help thinking how diligent they were.

But then again, their clan head had come in person to teach them. It was no wonder they were taking it seriously.

However, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't spend all his time on them, so he called a halt.

"Keep practicing from here. I still have some things to take care of."

Uchiha Oda, Kojima Uchiha, and Tanaka Uchiha didn't dare try to hold him back. They simply replied,

"Yes, Clan Head. We'll learn as quickly as we can."

Seeing their attitude, Uchiha Fugaku continued,

"Of course, I won't leave you to figure it all out on your own. Here's a cookbook. Use it as your guide."

Uchiha Fugaku took a cookbook out of his system space and handed it to them. But before leaving, he decided to put some pressure on them, so he changed his tone and said,

"But let me make one thing clear: I'll be back tomorrow to taste what you cook."

"If I find out you haven't been taking this seriously, you'll regret it."

With that, Uchiha Fugaku turned and left.

Watching Uchiha Fugaku disappear, Uchiha Oda, Kojima Uchiha, and Tanaka Uchiha couldn't help shuddering.

Once Uchiha Fugaku was completely out of sight, the three of them quickly took the cookbook back into the kitchen and started studying.
