"Seven years later, the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha thoroughly intensified, and the village placed our entire clan under comprehensive surveillance. Among those who executed the surveillance and spied on intelligence within the clan was the patriarch's proudest eldest son: Itachi Uchiha!" "And you idiots in the Hawk Faction, shouting about a coup every single day, gave the Konoha higher-ups the absolute best excuse. Shimura Danzō seized the opportunity to coerce Itachi Uchiha, setting a pact: massacre the entire clan, and his younger brother Sasuke Uchiha would be spared!" "The most ridiculous, most ironic part is that our patriarch, who had awakened the Mangekyō and seen through everything, offered zero resistance in the end and willingly died beneath his own biological son's blade!" "After that, Itachi slaughtered the entire Uchiha household overnight!" "I came here from the future not to exact revenge, but to collect with interest!" After speaking, Yu Zhi lowered his gaze to look at Fugaku, whose face was as pale as paper, his eyes filled with utter disdain. "Patriarch, have you figured out your answer now?" This story was far too explosive; even Dugu Bo was completely stunned into speechlessness. The crowd of Uchiha clansmen burned with even greater fury, their blood and qi churning violently throughout their bodies. If not for the unvanquished poison rendering them immobile, they would have long since desperately rushed forward to tear Itachi Uchiha to shreds. No one questioned the truth of it. After all, they were not fools; seeing Fugaku Uchiha's guilty expression, it was glaringly obvious that he had verified it with his Mangekyō! Fugaku Uchiha swept his gaze across his surroundings, his eyes meeting nothing but the monstrous hatred of his clansmen and Yu Zhi's icy stare. He understood completely that everything was beyond recall. Itachi's ending was already sealed. If he refused to compromise, even young Sasuke would be completely torn to shreds by the enraged clansmen. He let out a bitter, inner sigh: I'm sorry, Itachi. Let's just... consider it for Sasuke's sake. Besides, you made your choice in the future anyway! Fugaku suppressed all of his desolation and said in a deep voice, "Lift the poison from everyone. I will hand the inheritance over to you." "You are the only surviving orphan of the Uchiha in the future, so this inheritance belongs to you." Yu Zhi originally wanted to throw out a sarcastic remark about how his youngest son was also an orphan, but seeing the murderous look in Fugaku's eyes, he wisely swallowed the words back down. "Old Poisoner, clear their poison. Just restore their mobility." Dugu Bo cast a peculiar glance at the soul-deprived Fugaku, then raised a hand to disperse the paralyzing poison enveloping the crowd. A moment later, the crowd of Uchiha clansmen sprang to their feet one after another, immediately gathering before Fugaku, filled with indignation and resentment. "Patriarch! Is all of this true?" "You raised a fine son! He completely wiped out our entire clan!" "You are completely unfit to be the patriarch of the Uchiha!" Curses rose and fell in waves. Fugaku kept his head lowered the entire time, remaining silent and letting all the accusations rain down upon him. Yu Zhi knew that if Fugaku hadn't also died at the hands of his fine son, this group of enraged clansmen probably would have already drawn their blades to hack him to pieces by now. The hostility originally directed at everyone shifted entirely onto Fugaku, and the looks they directed at Yu Zhi instead grew complicated, tinged with guilt. "Alright." Yu Zhi timely spoke up to interrupt the chaotic scene. "Grievances can be settled after the fact. Time waits for no one." Fugaku slowly raised his head, his voice hoarse and exhausted. "Let's go to the clan lands. The inheritance is there." Everyone followed Fugaku Uchiha toward the clan lands! No one mentioned helping the village maintain public order or pacifying the Nine-Tails Incident ever again! The entire clan was about to be killed, so who the hell was going to help the village! Not staging an immediate rebellion was already the height of loyalty! ... Beneath the sky screen, the entire Douluo Continent completely erupted, and countless people stared up at the hanging sky screen, falling into doubt! "You don't suppose... what Yu Zhi said could be fake, do you? How could anyone in this world personally slaughter their own ethnic group? It's simply too absurd!" "How could it be fake! Fugaku Uchiha himself defaulted to it! Furthermore, the sky screen just now clearly broadcasted all the footage of that bloody night of the massacre!" That's right, the sky screen synchronously reconstructed the entire scene of the massacre created by Yu Zhi's genjutsu. The scarlet blood moon, clansmen slaughtering one another, and the chilling imagery of Itachi Uchiha silently butchering his kin were authentic to the extreme. The visual impact was explosive, subverting everyone's perceptions. "I finally understand. This Uchiha Clan is truly brimming with talent!" "Indeed! I originally thought the masked man was already the limit, but who knew there were even higher experts!" "Itachi Uchiha, I've remembered this name! A ruthless person! A well-deserved ruthless person! To prevent the clan from rebelling, he massacred the whole lot in advance!" "No wonder Yu Zhi changed his name! Having personally experienced such a tragic massacre, who would still be willing to bear the name Uchiha!" Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou Imperial Palace The civil and military officials were filled with shock, buzzing among themselves as their emotions remained unsettled for a long time. "This Naruto Continent has truly opened my eyes!" "Does everyone in this Uchiha Clan have a rebellious bone growing out the back of their heads? One masked man wasn't enough, and now there's this Itachi Uchiha!" "More than that! When Minato Namikaze mentioned that Madara Uchiha, he looked like he was facing a formidable enemy! It must mean this Madara also pulled some ruthless stunts for Konoha!" ... Amidst the noisy discussions, Xue Ye did not step in to stop them. With a calm gaze, he turned his head to look at Qian Renxue beside him. "Crown Prince, what do you think of this Itachi Uchiha?" How could Qian Renxue fail to understand the old fox's meaning? She said, "This subject actually hopes that the powerful figures of the world are all like Itachi Uchiha." Xue Ye laughed and said, "Precisely! What they see is Itachi Uchiha exterminating his own clan, but what I see is his loyalty to the village and his consideration of the bigger picture!" "This subject has been taught!" Qian Renxue responded respectfully. "This Uchiha Clan is truly miraculous! You have rebels, and you have loyal subjects! I just wonder which category that Yu Zhi falls into?" Xue Ye finally spoke with a hint of profound meaning. A trace of a subtle glint swept across the depths of Qian Renxue's eyes, and she said without hesitation, "Imperial Father, this subject believes it is well worth a try!" She could not refuse any proposal that would cause trouble for Bibi Dong! "Mm! Then handle it and see it done!" "Understood, Imperial Father!" Qian Renxue bowed in response. ... Spirit Hall, Worship Hall Mighty Lion Douluo said with a strange expression, "When that brat Yu Zhi spoke of Itachi Uchiha earlier, we all kept thinking he was lying! We almost arrested him on those grounds alone!" "Anyone would have suspected him." Falling Devil Douluo shook his head slightly. "Exterminating one's own clan—such a thing is far too unimaginable and completely defies common sense." "Still, I never expected that kid to have harbored so much resentment!" Golden Crocodile rubbed his chin, his eyes suddenly lighting up with delight. "But I have to admit, this kid didn't let down the hundred-thousand-year soul bone you and big brother bestowed upon him! Now the Scroll of Sealing and the Uchiha Clan's inheritance are both within easy reach. This wave was a massive net profit!" "The harvest indeed far exceeds expectations." Qian Daoliu quietly watched the sky screen, unable to help nodding slightly as he marveled at the ruthless and foolproof coordination between the two. "The ultimate concealment of the Golden Crocodile King's Soul Bone, paired with Dugu Bo's soundless and peerless deadly poison—the combination of the two can be called foolproof. Even a Title Douluo will inevitably fall victim if caught off guard." Thousand Jun Douluo frowned in analysis. "That Fugaku Uchiha is definitely no weakling! He possesses a Mangekyō of the same tier as the masked man, yet he was still taken down. Dugu Bo's poison has grown even more tyrannical!" "In that case, Bibi Dong has even more hidden cards in her hand now," Golden Crocodile said solemnly. "Enough." Qian Daoliu raised a hand to cut off all discussion, his aura incomparably majestic. "The momentum of Spirit Hall's rise is already set, and we are about to usher in an unprecedented glory through the ages. There is no need to fuss over minor details! Continue watching the sky screen, and don't forget, Tang Xiao has yet to make a move!"
