Seeing that his master was unharmed, Uchiha Kage let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Seeing an elite jonin show such concern for this masked man in black, Uzumaki Jiusen immediately realized that the latter was the true big shot.

He had already given up on returning from this mission alive, so he decided to take down as many enemies as he could before the end.

Moreover, the masked man's strength was far inferior to that of the elite jonin; he knew to pick the softest target first.

Uzumaki Jiusen manipulated his chains, instantly locking onto the masked man in the black robe.

"Master, go first."

Uchiha Kage instantly stepped in front of Uchiha Yang, swinging his blade to parry the incoming chain attacks one after another.

[Brain: Now is the time. Attack.]

[Legs: Understood.]

Uchiha Yang transformed into a blur, leaping directly past Uchiha Kage to strike at his opponent.

Seeing this, Uchiha Kage was about to follow when he was suddenly ensnared by several surging chains.

Uzumaki Jiusen was overjoyed to see the masked man in black charging at him so recklessly.

It was perfect; he had been worrying about how to kill him, and now the man was delivering himself right to his doorstep.

The moment they closed the distance, two chains whipped in from the sides. Just as Uzumaki Jiusen was reveling in his success, a Three-Tomoe Sharingan manifested.

In the dead of night, the slowly rotating Three-Tomoe Sharingan appeared exceptionally eerie and blood-red.

"Damn it, wasn't his Sharingan only Two-Tomoe before?"

Uzumaki Jiusen's eyes widened in shock. In that very instant, he felt a loud buzz resonate through his brain.

He felt his world spinning, flooded with a sea of blood-red, as countless pairs of Three-Tomoe Sharingan stared coldly at him from every direction.

Terror instantly spread through his heart, the intense fear causing his pulse to race.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

The blood in his veins boiled under the acceleration of his heart, and he entered a state of extreme, adrenaline-fueled excitement.

However, his breathing quickly became ragged and shallow, and it seemed as though he was running out of oxygen.

No!

Uzumaki Jiusen panicked; he could clearly feel that his body would collapse if this state continued for much longer.

In reality, blood began to pour uncontrollably from Uzumaki Jiusen's seven orifices.

This was the power of the Sharingan—a genjutsu that could only be unleashed after awakening the Three-Tomoe.

Uchiha Yang leaped forward, a cold, lethal glint flashing across his blade in the hazy night.

At the moment of his death, Uzumaki Jiusen broke free from the genjutsu world, only to feel the world spin as he caught sight of a headless corpse.

Uchiha Yang stepped onto Uzumaki Jiusen's head, looking down at the headless body that was still spraying blood like a fountain, and offered a cold, chilling smile.

[Sharingan: Heh heh heh, a mere elite jonin is nothing; I could take on ten of them.]

[Mouth: Is this the enemy? Nothing more than that.]

[Brain: When it comes to posturing, I'm not as good as the Mouth; when it comes to strength, I'm not as good as the Sharingan and the Hands. But when it comes to IQ, I just want to say that everyone here is trash.]

[Lightning Affinity: I had absolutely nothing to do here. Excuse me, I'm going to go cultivate.]

The other four elemental affinities also signaled that they were busy cultivating; they felt ashamed that they had played no part in this battle.

[Hands: My blade is stained with the heart-blood of the enemy. I nourish the weapon with blood; I am the supreme one.]

[Legs: Stop posturing, all of you. I'm the one doing all the running and exhausting work.]

After the battle, Uchiha Yang had no intention of letting his body continue to show off, so he took direct control.

The body instantly quieted down. Now that their master had taken over, the others obediently returned to their cultivation.

"Kage, are you alright?"

Uchiha Yang noticed the injuries on Uchiha Kage and asked with concern.

"Master, I am fine."

Uchiha Kage quickly bandaged his wounds, indicating that they were nothing serious and would only require some time to heal.

"Taking down this elite jonin was largely thanks to your genjutsu, which left him mentally weakened."

"Let's go. We'll head ahead and take a look. Remember, do not reveal my true strength to anyone."

"Understood, Master."

After giving these brief instructions, Uchiha Yang had Uchiha Kage follow him toward the battlefield in front of the clan grounds.

Along the way, Uchiha Yang burned his mask and black robe to dispose of them.

Upon arriving at the combat zone, Uchiha Yang saw Uchiha Izuna covered in wounds.

"Izuna."

Uchiha Yang ran straight over. Uchiha Kage instantly took over Izuna's opponent, and he pulled Izuna back as they retreated.

"Why did you come here? It's not safe."

Upon seeing Uchiha Yang, Uchiha Izuna felt a weight lift from his heart, though he spoke with a stern, critical tone.

"Uchiha Kage has already dealt with one Uzumaki elite jōnin and several chūnin who invaded the clan grounds."

"I have also sent men to handle the remaining enemies."

As he spoke, Uchiha Kage had already finished off one of the two Uzumaki jōnin who had been locked in a prolonged struggle with Uchiha Izuna.

Seeing that the Uchiha had gained another elite jōnin, Uzumaki Ajian felt a sudden, ominous premonition.

If the other party was here, it meant that something had gone wrong at the hot springs, and it was highly likely that those sent there had already been sacrificed.

"That's great. Thanks to you this time, thank you, cousin."

Uchiha Izuna's heart finally settled; the crisis in the clan grounds was finally drawing to a close.

"This is my home, after all. I won't allow anyone to disrupt my peaceful life."

Uchiha Yang wore a faint smile, though no one knew what his words truly implied.

Preventing him from slacking off and ruining his quiet days.

It seemed the Uzumaki Clan didn't want to live in peace.

Since you won't let me live in peace, just wait—then none of us will.

Once the war with the Senju Clan ended, he would certainly provide his uncle with a perfect plan for revenge.

Seeing that the situation had basically stabilized, Uchiha Madara's face showed a rare sense of relief.

Although his cousin had become decadent, his concern for the clan had never diminished.

When his father returned, he would definitely speak to him and request a commendation for his cousin.

"Uzumaki Clan, wait for the vengeance of my Uchiha Clan."

"Hahaha."

Seeing the tide turn, Uchiha Kiri channeled his pent-up frustration into momentum, launching a relentless assault on Uzumaki Ajian.

Uzumaki Ajian already had thoughts of retreating; there was no point in continuing the fight. Staying behind would only mean handing his head to the Uchiha.

Moreover, the people he had brought were already losing, as the sudden addition of that Uchiha elite jōnin had shattered the original balance.

"Trying to run?"

Seeing him make a move to flee, Uchiha Kiri immediately latched onto him, not giving the man a single shred of an opportunity.

After killing the enemy before him, Uchiha Madara walked over to Uchiha Yang and Uchiha Izuna.

"Big brother, can you still hold on?"

Uchiha Izuna asked with a tense expression.

"Don't worry, I'm not dead yet."

Uchiha Madara sat directly on the ground and took off his top; several wounds on his body were scorched.

Seeing that both Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna were in such a sorry state, Uchiha Yang knew the enemies they had encountered were formidable.

Otherwise, with the strength of Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna, both possessing the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, they wouldn't have been in such a state even when facing several elite jōnin.

In truth, Uzumaki Ajian had prepared thoroughly for this raid on the Uchiha clan grounds.

Uzumaki Ajian alone held three scrolls, all of which were powerful and rare sealing scrolls.

They were incredibly valuable, the kind that even the Uzumaki Clan could not produce casually.

Uchiha Madara had relied on his personal strength to dodge three powerful sealing attacks.

Even having dodged them, he had paid a significant price.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Kage had finished off the remaining enemies and joined the battle between the two.

"Threatening the master's safety—you deserve to die."

Uzumaki Ajian's face turned deathly pale. Facing two Three-Tomoe Uchiha ninja of equal strength, he knew he was not far from death.

Seeing that the opponent could no longer hold out, Uchiha Yang couldn't help but stretch his back.

"The Uzumaki Clan is the culprit behind this raid on our grounds. It's getting late, so I'm going back to rest."

After taking two steps, Uchiha Yang turned back to address the two of them.

"Please tell our uncle when he returns. I will have the plan to retaliate against the Uzumaki Clan ready for him in three days."

Watching his cousin's retreating back, Uchiha Izuna said slowly, "It seems that now that his peaceful life has been broken, cousin is in a very bad mood."

Uchiha Madara nodded. "Mm, I've always known our cousin is clever; that is why I have never been willing to see him remain this decadent."

"Let's go, Izuna. Let's finish off the last of the enemies together. The casualties in the clan grounds are not light this time; the Uzumaki Clan must bear the brunt of our Uchiha fury."

"Understood, big brother."
