Mingye laughed loudly. "I merely let you witness what true strength is called. Though I am not yet that powerful, everything has now fully begun!"
After saying that, Mingye vanished from where he stood in an instant. Sasori's expression softened as well. "The future has finally begun to show signs of a so-called countdown!"
"Esteemed Elders! Can what I have done be considered correct?"
Within the Uchiha Clan, in the clan head's study, Fugaku Uchiha sought the opinions of the three elders before him. After reading through the document, the three elders nodded. One of them spoke.
"Fugaku, you are someone we hold in high regard. Since you have decided not to kill Shisui, we will proceed accordingly. But there is another matter: our relationship with Konoha must be changed according to our own wishes!"
Fugaku nodded humbly and bowed beneath the gazes of the three elders. "I understand! I will certainly act according to the elders' wishes!"
"Mm! The Fourth Hokage must be someone from our Uchiha Clan. This absolutely cannot be changed. From now on, it is time for us to display the strength of the Uchiha Clan!"
The three elders were extremely pleased with Fugaku's humility and respect. The clan head lowering his head and bowing to those who should have been his subordinates seemed like a form of glory.
"Understood!"
"Continue reviewing these documents. As for old men like us, half-rotten wood, it is time we rested!"
Fugaku nodded again. The three elders all rose to their feet and left the study after speaking. A dark figure appeared behind Fugaku and asked teasingly.
"How does it feel?"
The respectful look in Fugaku's eyes turned cold and merciless. He turned and bowed to the shadow. A butterfly flew from Fugaku's hand and landed on the shadow's shoulder.
