After news of Uchiha Ming spread outward from the valley, both those on patrol and those carrying out missions set aside their work and gathered there in groups of two or three. On the third day after Uchiha Yo sent out the message, three travel-worn Uchiha arrived at the valley. Unlike the others who had concealed their identities, they made no attempt to hide themselves. Wearing Konoha ninja uniforms with the clan crest printed on their backs, they followed the markers to Brightheart Compound.
One Uchiha carrying twin swords saw Uchiha Ming waiting in the courtyard as if to welcome them. Uchiha En was reclining in a chair with an IV drip, basking in the sun. When he saw clan members arriving, he opened the door, and Uchiha Retsu emerged with one arm in a sling. The three Uchiha waited a few seconds before realizing something. In an instant, they activated their Sharingan. The twin-sworded Uchiha asked, "Did you send the message? It said someone died. Who was it? Was it Yo? Who did this?" Uchiha Ming said, "Don't get worked up. Yo was only slightly injured and is fine now. He went out for a walk and will be back by noon. It was Danzo's Root. Let's talk inside." Hearing that everyone had merely been injured, the three Uchiha's anger gradually subsided. They deactivated their Sharingan and entered the house. Before long, another seven Uchiha arrived one after another. The people in the valley sensed that something was about to happen. Some had already packed up and left. To them, as long as it did not concern them, they would avoid trouble whenever possible.
Uchiha Yo strolled back at an unhurried pace. When he reached the gate, he paused. Four members of the Uchiha Clan stood outside, and he recognized one of them. After releasing his Transformation Jutsu, Uchiha Yo walked over and bowed to one of them. "Master Saka, you came too. That's wonderful!" The man was none other than their instructor, Uchiha Saka. Looking at his disciple, Saka was in no better mood. The message had said that a young clansman had died. If it was not Yo, then it had to be one of the other two. In a grave voice, he asked, "Yo, who was hurt?" "Huh? Who? What do you mean? During our mission, our squad was set up by Root, and a fierce battle broke out. We barely survived, and everyone, myself included, was injured to varying degrees. We waited in the valley for reinforcements. Back then, everyone was badly hurt. We thought they couldn't be saved." Hearing that everyone was all right now, Uchiha Saka let out a breath and waved for them to discuss it after entering the valley.
Upon entering Brightheart Compound, Uchiha Yo was clearly a little dazed. Including his own squad, there were eighteen Uchiha inside. He knew the Uchiha Clan always spoke of the clan, and he knew they were united, but he had not expected so many to gather based on a single message. The Uchiha carrying twin swords walked up to Uchiha Yo, looked him over, then ruffled his hair. "Yo, I rushed here the moment I received the message. Now that I know you're all right, I'm relieved. We've already sent word back through special means. Don't worry. Ever since our clan came into being, no one has ever harmed one of ours and gotten away with it." As he spoke, he activated his Sharingan, its three tomoe slowly turning. Uchiha Yo grinned. "I like that—revenge doesn't wait overnight. Uncle, you got here so fast. You have no idea how worried I've been these past two days. If they had gotten here before you, we would've been finished." The twin-sworded man smiled. "They won't get here, because they're already dead." The Uchiha beside him let out cold chuckles. Uchiha Yo froze. Are they really this explosive? Once they know who did it, they'll kill them on sight. So Uchiha. I really love a clan like this. I'll definitely protect it alongside you. As soon as the thought crossed his mind, warmth spread through his entire body.
