Just as Uchiha Itachi released the Tsukuyomi, Akame Uchiha collapsed onto the ground, gasping for air.

After a moment, Akame Uchiha, who had been slashed for three days and three nights within the Tsukuyomi space, still stubbornly retorted.

"Traitor, even if you slash me for three days and three nights, I will never yield."

"I said I won't do this taijutsu training, and I mean it."

Seeing Akame Uchiha still being so stubborn, Uchiha Itachi's anger dissipated; he stepped aside to clear the path and said.

"If that is the case, then you may go back."

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

Hearing this, Akame Uchiha was taken aback, though he was puzzled as to why Uchiha Itachi was letting him off the hook.

However, Akame Uchiha only wanted to go back and rest now; having been slashed for three days and three nights, he had reached his limit.

If he had to go through it again, Akame Uchiha could not guarantee he would be able to hold on.

Subsequently, with the support of two others nearby, Akame Uchiha began to walk toward his home.

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

"I let Akame Uchiha go, but did I say you two could leave?"

Mizube Uchiha and Sauna Uchiha, who were supporting Akame Uchiha as they left, heard this and couldn't help but respond defiantly.

"What must we do to be allowed to leave?"

After all, if their big brother could endure that kind of genjutsu, they believed they were no worse and would surely be able to hold out as well.

Hearing this and observing their demeanor, Uchiha Itachi understood their thoughts perfectly.

Thus, Uchiha Itachi acted decisively, dragging both of them in and beginning to slash them with great patience.

I refuse to believe that all of you are as tough as Akame Uchiha.

Regrettably, Mizube Uchiha and Sauna Uchiha only lasted for a single day before they broke, beginning to beg for mercy repeatedly, but how could Uchiha Itachi let them off so easily now?

After all, they weren't as tough as Akame Uchiha, and there is a price to pay for speaking such arrogant words.

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

Once the Tsukuyomi was lifted, the two of them collapsed to the ground just like Akame Uchiha.

However, unlike Akame Uchiha, their eyes were filled with terror as they looked at Uchiha Itachi.

Then, once Mizube Uchiha and Sauna Uchiha regained some strength, they scurried off to training in a dejected manner.

Their performance was witnessed by Akame Uchiha nearby, and in his heart, he branded these two former friends as cowards.

I, Akame Uchiha, endured for three days and three nights without giving up, yet you two, as my friends, actually gave up.

However, since Mizube Uchiha and Sauna Uchiha were his former friends, Akame Uchiha didn't say anything; he merely snorted coldly and stubbornly began to walk home, trembling as he went.

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

After all, inside the illusion, Uchiha Itachi had told them the criteria for leaving: endure the blade for three days and three nights without begging for mercy, and he would allow them to leave and do their own training.

As for the other members of the Uchiha Clan who had been eager to try because of Akame Uchiha, most of them chose to give up after seeing the state of the two, opting to train obediently instead.

Although Mizube Uchiha and Sauna Uchiha had failed, it did not mean that their strength was weak.

Yet, despite the cautionary tale of the two, the Uchiha Clan never lacked challengers.

Later, several more clansmen who wanted to test themselves stepped forward to challenge Uchiha Itachi.

It was a pity that none of them could hold on, and they all had to return to their taijutsu training obediently.

Seeing Uchiha Itachi's method of handling things, Uchiha Fugaku, who was watching from afar, couldn't help but nod.

After all, in this life, he was his father, so he still had to show some concern.

Afterward, Uchiha Fugaku went home to change his clothes and headed toward Oda Uchiha's restaurant.

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

Uchiha Fugaku searched his memory for a moment before he found the names of the two men.

Kojima Uchiha and Tanaka Uchiha.

The three men, led by Oda Uchiha, came forward to greet Uchiha Fugaku when they saw him.

"Lord Clan Head, why have you come yourself?"

Hearing their question, Uchiha Fugaku smiled.

"What, am I not welcome?"

Hearing the joke from Uchiha Fugaku, the three of them didn't dare to hesitate for a second, shaking their heads repeatedly as they spoke.

"We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare..."

Seeing their reaction, Uchiha Fugaku cut them off directly.

"It's fine, I was just joking."

"Time is tight and the task is heavy, let's get started quickly."

"I have other matters to attend to."

Hearing this, Oda Uchiha, Kojima Uchiha, and Tanaka Uchiha didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, leading Uchiha Fugaku into the kitchen.

By this time, the kitchen had been renovated almost exactly according to Uchiha Fugaku's specifications.

Looking at the fully prepared supplies, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but offer a word of praise.

"Well prepared."

Uchiha Fugaku then picked up a kitchen knife and said.

"Let's begin."

"Yes."

Uchiha Fugaku then began to teach them how to prepare Chinese cuisine and stir-fry dishes.

The three of them naturally didn't dare to be lazy, beginning to learn with great focus.

Two hours later.

Watching the three of them practicing in the kitchen, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but sigh at their diligence.

On second thought, it made sense; with their clan head personally teaching them, it would be strange if they weren't serious.

However, Uchiha Fugaku didn't have the time to waste all his effort on them, so he called for a halt and said.

"Continue practicing on your own; I have other matters to handle."

Oda Uchiha, Kojima Uchiha, and Tanaka Uchiha naturally didn't dare to ask him to stay, replying immediately.

"Yes, Clan Head, we will certainly master this as quickly as possible."

Seeing their attitude, Uchiha Fugaku continued.

"Of course, I won't just leave you to figure it out blindly. Here is a cookbook; follow this to learn for now."

Uchiha Fugaku pulled a cookbook from his system space and handed it to the three of them. Before leaving, however, he decided to apply a little pressure, shifting his tone as he spoke.

"But I'll say this now: I will come to taste your cooking tomorrow."

"If I find that you haven't been taking this seriously, don't blame me for what happens."

With that, Uchiha Fugaku turned and left.

Oda Uchiha, Kojima Uchiha, and Tanaka Uchiha couldn't help but shiver as they watched Uchiha Fugaku's retreating figure.

Once his figure had completely vanished from sight, the three of them quickly grabbed the cookbook and returned to the kitchen to begin their studies.
