Asuma's face, which had been smiling a moment ago, sank instantly.
He looked at Uchiha Yan, wanting to lash out but lacking the courage to do so.
Because if you insulted Uchiha Yan, he really would leave you trapped in his genjutsu for an entire day.
Recalling the outcome of the last time he had provoked Uchiha Yan, Asuma couldn't help but shudder.
He had no choice but to sit in a corner to the side without saying a word.
Just as Asuma sat down, a passionate and energetic voice rang out, "Yo-ho, looks like I'm late."
Guy stood at the entrance, smiling as he revealed teeth so white they reflected the light.
Behind him followed Kakashi with his dead-fish eyes, who waved his hand as a greeting to the others.
The group gathered together to eat barbecue, discussing the Ninja Academy and the Third Great Ninja War.
At this moment, Guy gave Uchiha Yan a thumbs-up and said, "Remember that one mission? It was all thanks to Uchiha Yan, otherwise I might not be sitting here today."
Hearing Guy's words, Uchiha Yan said indifferently, "We're comrades, aren't we?"
While the group was engaged in their lively conversation.
Far away in his own home, Uchiha Shisui made a decision in the face of the increasingly severe conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha clan.
That was to use the ocular jutsu of his Mangekyo Sharingan to control Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Yan.
Thinking of this, Shisui's gaze became resolute.
For the sake of Konoha's peace, he had to do this!
But before that, he needed to touch base with Lord Danzo first.
The group finished their gathering at the barbecue restaurant, and Kurenai draped her arm over Uchiha Yan's shoulder, letting her entire weight rest against him.
The scent of alcohol and her faint body fragrance flooded into Uchiha Yan's nose.
He could also feel Kurenai's astonishing softness.
Worried that Kurenai might fall, Uchiha Yan naturally placed a hand on her waist to maintain her balance.
Seeing this scene, Asuma's expression turned even gloomier.
He clenched his fists, yet he dared not utter a single word.
He looked like an incompetent husband.
Uchiha Yan supported Kurenai and asked, "Going home?"
Kurenai nodded, taking the opportunity to press her body even closer.
After escorting the slightly tipsy Kurenai all the way to her doorstep, Uchiha Yan skillfully retrieved the key from under the doormat and opened the door.
Once they entered Kurenai's small but cozy home, Uchiha Yan placed her on the sofa.
He expertly poured her a glass of water.
The reason the two were so close was, ultimately, because they shared the same jonin instructor: Kurenai's father, Yuhi Shinku.
Of course, there had been another teammate, but that teammate hadn't been very lucky and had died during a mission in the Third Great Ninja War.
At this moment, Kurenai was muttering, "So hot."
Having said that, she naturally took off her coat and unbuttoned the collar of her shirt.
A large expanse of fair skin was revealed.
However, such a beautiful sight could only be appreciated by Uchiha Yan.
Uchiha Yan sighed softly and said as he supported her, "Drink some water."
Kurenai obediently opened her mouth and drank all the water from the glass in Uchiha Yan's hand.
Then, in a daze, she leaned toward him and said with a naive, charming expression, "Drink, Yan, why aren't you drinking?"
Hearing Kurenai's words, Uchiha Yan reached out and gave her a sharp flick to the forehead.
Kurenai covered her head and let out a soft "Ouch," her eyes misting over.
Uchiha Yan pinched her cheek and said, "Do you even know where you are right now?"
Kurenai said righteously, "Of course I do, aren't we at home right now?"
Looking at Kurenai, who usually carried herself with a mature, cool demeanor but was now acting so adorably naive, Uchiha Yan became certain of one thing.
That was, Kurenai was completely drunk.
Sure enough, after a brief bout of fussing, Kurenai lay quietly on the sofa, motionless.
Uchiha Yan helplessly picked her up and carried her to her bedroom.
He pushed open the door to Kurenai's room.
A delicate, elegant floral scent wafted toward him.
The entire room was furnished simply, presented in an elegant, pale white.
Uchiha Yan placed Qinghong onto the bed.
He then turned and left.
At the same time, Uchiha Shisui stood before Danzo, explaining his plan.
It was unclear if Uchiha Shisui had lost his mind or what had gotten into him, but he actually laid all his cards on the table in front of Danzo.
"Lord Danzo, my genjutsu is Kotoamatsukami. It can alter a person's will. When the clan meeting begins, I only need to control our clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, and the matter will be resolved."
Danzo leaned on his cane, looked at Shisui, and said indifferently, "And what if your plan fails?"
Shisui's body shuddered. He bowed his head even lower and said, "That is impossible, Lord Danzo."
"And if it does fail, would you use this technique on me?" Danzo countered.
Deep down, he was filled with apprehension regarding this technique of Uchiha Shisui's.
Therefore, his words were spoken in all sincerity.
Shisui's expression shifted. Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain, Danzo stepped forward, reached for his eyes, and said, "I will be taking your Sharingan."
As Shisui watched Danzo approach, his expression remained unchanged; his three-tomoe Sharingan manifested, pinning Danzo in place.
He said apologetically, "Lord Danzo, I apologize. This is only a basic genjutsu; you will return to normal in a moment."
As his voice trailed off, he turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Danzo suddenly appeared before him like a phantom.
He slammed a fist into Shisui's stomach, then grabbed Shisui by the head and instantly tore out one of his Sharingan.
Shisui knelt on the ground, clutching his empty eye socket, watching helplessly as Danzo unwrapped the bandages that had covered his right eye for years.
Revealing a blind Sharingan, Danzo removed it and said, "I have accepted your Sharingan. Of course, that previous eye belonged to your elder, Uchiha Kagami; it can be considered putting it to good use."
Clutching his eye socket, Shisui could only grit his teeth and use the Body Flicker Technique to flee the scene.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Yan had just returned home.
Sensing a violent fluctuation of chakra, his expression changed, and he rushed toward the source of the disturbance.
At this moment, facing the pursuers from Root, Shisui activated his green Susanoo, causing the Root operatives to halt in their tracks.
Looking at the exhausted Shisui, they ultimately made a decision.
That was to retreat for the time being.
Shisui knelt on one knee, and his Susanoo dissipated along with his strength.
By now, Uchiha Yan had already appeared in the shadows.
He watched the battered Shisui coldly, his face devoid of emotion.
In his eyes, Shisui's fate was already sealed.
It would be better to squeeze out the last of Shisui's value.
That meant letting Shisui die in front of Itachi, so that he himself could obtain two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan.
