"Cough... cough..."
Uchiha Genmei feigned a couple of coughs.
He looked at the bowing Uchihas with great satisfaction.
He couldn't be more satisfied; the ocular technique of Yachihoko had long since been dispelled.
The reason these Uchihas remained so quiet was simple.
At present, all the Mangekyo Sharingan holders within the Uchiha clan stood on his side.
That was over ten minutes ago, before they had even returned to Naka Shrine.
Genmei and Jiri dragged Uchiha Baru and Uchiha Rai along to rendezvous with Hikari and the others.
Looking at the controlled Uchihas surrounding them, he nodded.
"Do you need to release them from your control?"
Uchiha Hikari asked, puzzled.
"No need. Let's wait until I've dealt with these few before we decide."
Uchiha Genmei crouched down, answered Hikari's question, and raised his hand.
Slap! Slap!
Uchiha Baru was slapped awake.
He clutched his face:
"So painful..."
He scanned his surroundings, then lowered his head in dejection:
"We lost, didn't we..."
"Baru-kun, face reality and surrender. If you continue to be obsessed and refuse to repent, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Hearing the warning in Genmei's gloomy tone, he froze for a moment.
The Uchiha were all realists, and they worshipped power! Having witnessed the terrifying strength of the man before him, he recovered, stood up, and brushed the dust off his body.
He knelt on one knee:
"If you have any orders in the future, I will go through fire and water! I will not refuse!"
Uchiha Genmei was very satisfied, and just at that moment, Uchiha Rai awoke from the endless cycle.
There was nothing much to say; Izanami-no-Mikoto was simply Izanami, that ocular technique which required the sacrifice of an eye.
However, this was Jiri's Mangekyo ocular technique. It should have been the same in the original story, and as a genius, she had taken her own ocular technique and, by drawing inferences from one instance to another, adjusted it so that it could be used with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan. The only difference was that it wasn't a Mangekyo technique, and the price required was the sacrifice of one's sight!
He looked forward to her simplifying this technique further in the future, so that dealing with Izanagi wouldn't be such a headache.
After all, once a technique has a counter, people won't be so arrogant because of its efficacy!
Afterward, he released the brainwashing control of Yachihoko on everyone present and returned to Naka Shrine.
Now, facing the fact that all the top combatants stood with Uchiha Genmei—no, he should be called Lord Clan Leader—the remaining Uchihas were all very realistic.
They were remarkably quiet and cooperative.
Uchiha Genmei waved his hand, looking quite satisfied.
He smiled and spoke:
"Everyone has suffered today, go back and rest."
"Zhili, Hikari, Rai, Baru, and Naka, you all stay behind."
A moment later, only these few remained in the shrine.
Uchiha Rai was confused, and asked with some doubt:
"Is there something else, Lord Genmei?"
Rubbing his chin, Uchiha Genmei straightened his expression.
He said in a deep voice:
"I possess a dojutsu capable of restoring everyone's eye problems; Naka-kun has already experienced it."
"Rai-kun, your other eye belongs to someone else now, doesn't it? Take it out."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Rai looked at Uchiha Naka, half-doubting.
Only after seeing him nod did he feel somewhat reassured.
He ruthlessly gouged out the eye that did not belong to him.
With a tearing sound, that eye was already in his hand.
Seeing Uchiha Rai so determined, Genmei nodded.
He spoke with satisfaction:
"None of you are to resist my ocular power."
Having said that, his gaze sharpened, and the scarlet patterns bloomed.
[Dojutsu: Amaterasu-Omikami!]
A golden light of healing enveloped them.
Except for Naka, whose eyes were currently not experiencing any strain.
"This?! This is?!..."
As the light healed him, Uchiha Rai's empty eye socket was restored.
He was incredibly shocked!
Lord Genmei's dojutsu was truly heaven-defying!
His own eye had been restored from nothingness?
Could it be that only his vision was restored, but not his ocular power?
Thinking of this, he gathered chakra into his eye sockets, feeling the intact ocular power and clear vision in both eyes.
He prostrated himself, shouting excitedly in a dogeza position:
"Lord Genmei! You are the undisputed leader of the Uchiha; no one is more suitable than you!"
As he reached a point of passion, his tone rose:
"Lead the Uchiha to greatness!"
The others behind him felt their vision restored and watched Uchiha Rai, whose eye had recovered.
Hearing these words, they all nodded in agreement.
It was indeed so!
Especially Uchiha Hikari, who lacked the stamina of Senju chakra and had been using her dojutsu quite frequently lately.
Her vision had become slightly blurred.
Now that her sight was restored, she looked at the handsome face of the young man.
Her small face flushed red.
Zhili, who noticed Hikari from the side, saw this.
She felt very displeased in her heart.
He looked up and gave Genmei a strange smile.
Uchiha Genmei, having confirmed that the loyalty of Rai and Baru was beyond question, caught a glimpse of that inexplicable smile from Zhili, and felt somewhat bewildered.
Had he offended her?
Forget it, he would deal with it later.
A few days later.
Inside the Police Force captain's office.
After working busily for several days, he had finally finished handling the matters at hand.
He sighed inwardly.
Before taking the position, he had wanted to expand the functions of the Police Force.
Who would have thought, now that he was actually in charge, the workload over these past few days alone was enough to give him a headache.
In his past life, he was just a Pal, never having held any serious management role.
It seemed he would have to take things slowly.
No need to mess around;
taking steps too large was never a good idea.
Calming his heart, he took stock of the gains he had made since taking office.
"Aura has gone from 26 to 37, has it? Rai and Kagami, those two unquestionable Kage-level powerhouses, added eight points."
He scoffed:
"The remaining three points, it seems, were contributed by Uchiha Setsuna."
"Without the power of the Mangekyo, what kind of grand scheme was he plotting? It's no wonder that guy spent his whole life in prison in the original story."
After mocking that old man, he carefully calculated the extent of the power currently under his command within the Uchiha.
With the exception of a very few, like Obito, who were sent to the village to put on a show and serve as regular ninja, ninety-nine percent of Uchiha ninja served in the Police Force.
Previously, the Police Force had about ninety-four active elite three-tomoe members.
Through his tireless efforts over these past few days, using Amaterasu-Omikami, he had healed the high-level ninja who had retired due to severe injuries and rehired them.
Currently, there were one hundred and eight active elite three-tomoe members!
Genmei could only feel it was incredible!
Was this the strength of one of the top two ninja clans in the ninja world?
What did over a hundred three-tomoe Uchiha represent!
Chiyo had said in the original story, when facing a Sharingan, run if it's one-on-one, and ambush if it's two-on-one.
In other words, it took three ninja of the same level to have a chance at victory!
And now, they were all under his command!
"Hehehehe! Hahahaha!"
"No wonder everyone loves power; to be able to command such strength!"
"It's too exhilarating! This is! A massive force truly under my control, to be deployed at will!!!"
It was no wonder he was so excited!
Over a hundred elite three-tomoe members, not to mention those
Uchiha who had awakened their one-tomoe or two-tomoe Sharingan!
Under the cultivation of a thousand-year-old ninja clan's ninjutsu resources—especially a clan that ranked among the top two noble houses in the ninja world!
These ninjas were in no way inferior to the standard jonin of a ninja village!
There were roughly two to three hundred of them!
Not to mention the countless chunin and genin who had yet to awaken their eyes!
And most importantly, the four Mangekyo Sharingan users, among whom Zhili and Hikaru were powerhouses of an exceptional caliber!
Hehehe... so this is the reason they are so wary of the Uchiha, racking their brains to weaken them!
This kind of power, held in the hands of a single ninja clan.
Who wouldn't be wary!
Meanwhile, the intelligence regarding Uchiha Genmei becoming the captain of the Police Force and the Uchiha clan leader
reached the high-ranking officials of Konoha
after he had finished handling the majority of the troublesome affairs!
It left the Hokage Office at that moment
in absolute silence!
