Uchiha Izuna activated his Sharingan, the corners of his mouth curling upward. Utatane Koharu's movements were playing out in slow motion before his eyes, yet...

Utatane Koharu finished her hand seals, intending to unleash the Wind Style: Tornado.

The next moment, Uchiha Izuna's eyes shifted rapidly, transforming into the Mangekyō Sharingan. In a mere second, he had pulled Utatane Koharu into an illusion.

Because her body lacked the support of chakra and physical force, the wind-style jutsu she had been gathering dissipated into nothingness.

Uchiha Izuna smiled faintly; the illusion he had crafted was filled with things known as desire.

These desires were not limited to lust, but also included greed for wealth, power, and more. The illusion Uchiha Izuna created was capable of ensnaring 99% of people.

For instance, Utatane Koharu realized in that moment that she had been pulled into an illusionary space by Uchiha Izuna, so she pinched her own thigh.

Pain can help one quickly break free from an illusion, but that only applies to ordinary ones. This level of genjutsu could not even be broken by a three-tomoe Sharingan.

After a long while, Utatane Koharu gave up and began to circulate her chakra, forming the release seal. To her horror, she found she could not dispel it at all, which sent her into a panic.

This was clearly an illusion, and she clearly remembered what had happened just a moment ago!

Suddenly, a voice rang out: "Hey~ Koharu, what are you waiting for? Sensei said we're going to train together next!" It was the young Sarutobi Hiruzen speaking, his smile bright and warm, his body brimming with energy.

Utatane Koharu's pupils constricted. She spoke, "Hiruzen, you..." Suddenly, she realized something; her own voice had become much younger.

The next moment, the scene before her erupted in white light. With a flash, she found herself in a hospital, with Sarutobi Hiruzen looking at her with concern.

"Are you alright, Koharu? You fainted just now, you scared me!" Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in relief.

Utatane Koharu looked at her youthful hands, her eyes widening in disbelief. Was this real?

She began to feel that this was no longer an illusion, but rather that the heavens had granted her a chance to start over.

Little did she know, Uchiha Izuna was aware of everything she experienced. Watching Utatane Koharu's illusion, Uchiha Izuna's expression turned strange.

As it turned out, Utatane Koharu had always harbored those kinds of feelings for Sarutobi Hiruzen, and in the illusion, she had taken the initiative to stay behind to cover their retreat.

Without surprise, according to her heart's desire, she returned to Konoha and became the first female Hokage, sharing an ambiguous and intimate relationship with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

When they finally reached marriageable age, Sarutobi Hiruzen confessed his love to Utatane Koharu, and the two lived a sweet life together, jointly ruling Konoha.

As for Mitokado Homura? He hadn't even made an appearance.

At this moment, Uchiha Izuna felt pity for Mitokado Homura once again. What a pathetic simp! He had simped his whole life, and even now, he remained an old bachelor without a son, leaving all his assets to his older brother, Mitokado Sho.

Uchiha Izuna shook his head. Soon, Utatane Koharu's consciousness returned to her physical body. She opened her eyes to see Uchiha Izuna wearing a mocking expression.

"Old woman, you've got quite the imagination. I thought you and he were just comrades, but it turns out you've been in love with him all along!" Uchiha Izuna left it at that.

But Utatane Koharu snapped: "Nonsense! This old woman doesn't know what you're talking about!" She and Sarutobi Hiruzen had already spent a lifetime together in the illusion; her lifelong wish had been fulfilled.

"Fine, if you don't want to talk, I won't force you. How about this: you vacate our clan grounds, and I'll let you off. If you don't, tomorrow's headline might just be a scandalous tabloid story." Uchiha Izuna sneered.

Mitokado Homura was burning with rage. He gathered chakra in his right hand to form a water blade, intending to strike at Uchiha Izuna, but another aged hand grabbed his arm.

Mitokado Homura froze. He looked at Utatane Koharu, who shook her head, leaving him confused, though he still lowered the blade.

"Who are you? Since when did the Uchiha Clan have someone like you?" Utatane Koharu asked.

"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that I have the power to ruin your reputation in your twilight years." Uchiha Izuna clicked his tongue.

Utatane Koharu fell silent. She looked at the prosperity of the clan grounds and the ornate clothing of the clansmen with reluctance, but for the sake of her own dignity and Sarutobi Hiruzen's reputation, she took a deep breath: "The clan grounds can be returned to you, but you must pay to buy them back."

Mitokado Homura chimed in: "That's right! We've lived here for about six years and renovated many spots, spending a lot of money. If you want it back, you have to pay!"

Uchiha Izuna laughed in anger, then spoke coldly: "It seems you two prefer the hard way! Someone, come here!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than groups of Uchiha ninja appeared in the clan grounds, surrounding Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.

They simultaneously activated their Sharingan!

Instantly, a wave of pressure and the threat of death enveloped the pair.

Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui exchanged a glance, and the next moment, two black shadows struck decisively with speed the naked eye could barely follow!

Utatane Koharu tried to remain calm, and Mitokado Homura prepared to die, but in the face of absolute strength, they had no way to resist.

In an instant, the former Konoha high-ranking officials, Hokage advisors Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, were seized by Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui, and were now kneeling on the ground.

"Now then? Do you want money or your lives?" Uchiha Izuna crouched down, his Mangekyō Sharingan staring fixedly at the two old people before him, never once looking away.

Utatane Koharu knew that if they fought, she and Mitokado Homura were no match, so she settled for the next best thing: "I can return the clan grounds to you."

"But you must pay us back for the renovation costs!" Utatane Koharu closed her eyes, ignoring Uchiha Izuna further. Mitokado Homura did the same, turning his head away.

Uchiha Izuna looked at their expressions and knew they had reached their limit. If he pushed too hard, it would be counterproductive.

Uchiha Izuna stared at them for a moment before nodding: "Fine, then please pack your bags quickly. My clansmen are waiting."

After saying this, he turned to look at the members of the Uchiha Clan, offering a happy smile.

The corners of the Uchiha ninjas' mouths could no longer be suppressed from curling upward. They hadn't expected Lord Zhan to reclaim the clan grounds in just a few words, without losing a single soldier.

A small notebook appeared in Uchiha Shisui's hand. He opened it gently and began to record something.

Forced by Uchiha Izuna's strength and the return of the Uchiha Clan, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura had no choice but to take their own people and leave the large estate they had lived in for six years.

Before leaving, Utatane Koharu cast a lingering look at Uchiha Izuna, as if warning him of something.
