At his words, everyone cried out in surprise. Uchiha Retsu laughed. "Little Yo is truly back. Come on, go call more people over. Let's treat today as a welcome party for my brother."

Uchiha En wore a smile as well, delighted inside. This was a powerful return, using strength to suppress an entire generation. If he succeeded, his momentum would be established.

The surrounding Uchiha whispered among themselves. Everyone felt that Uchiha Yo was far too arrogant, though some believed that only someone like him could become an unrivaled powerhouse and lead the Uchiha Clan back to glory.

"Isn't that too arrogant, Uchiha Yo?" The clansmen standing opposite Uchiha Yo who possessed Sharingan activated them in anger. Everyone felt they were being looked down on. They were members of the Uchiha Clan, after all. They had to teach this arrogant brat a lesson.

Four clansmen stepped forward at once. Three of them had activated their Sharingan. The four exchanged glances, and the one without activated eyes and the one with a single tomoe were about to step back when Uchiha Yo's voice rang out. "No need to be modest, you four. Come at me together. You'll have to come up sooner or later anyway."

"You... arrogant brat! I'll beat you into a pig-headed mess!" As soon as he spoke, one of them charged out first. The other three followed, attacking Uchiha Yo as well.

Uchiha Yo did not underestimate them. He activated his Sharingan, drew his sword, and clashed with the four. The instant they exchanged blows, the four Uchiha felt their hearts sink. This madman was incredibly strong.

The battle did not become the deadlock everyone had expected. After nearly two exchanges with each opponent, the little brother without an activated Sharingan was kicked flying. Then, one two-tomoe clansman had his sword knocked from his hand.

Next, the one-tomoe clansman was struck in the abdomen. Then, "Earth Style: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!" He was planted in the ground.

The last two-tomoe clansman came to his senses and realized that the four of them had been played. Uchiha Yo had provoked them with his words and made them lose their heads. They had not even used ninjutsu, instead fighting him in taijutsu without any coordination at all. They had been defeated one by one.

Uchiha Yo did not give him much time to think. "One-Sword Style: Godspeed." His blade rested against the man's chest. "You lost." He sheathed his sword and gestured for him to pull his temporary teammates out of the ground.

With his Sharingan still active, Uchiha Yo said to those opposite him, "Continue. I'm still good. I don't need to rest yet. Next, I invite five friends to offer me their guidance."

By then, some people on the other side had calmed down. Although the previous fight had been four against one, it had actually been worse than a one-on-one. Not only had they lacked any strategy, they had hindered one another at critical moments.

A squad captain stepped out and spoke with another Uchiha. After some discussion, the captain led his own squad, along with the ninja he had consulted, forward. "You are very strong. I admit that I am not your match, but we are not alone."

The five formed a confrontation seal toward Uchiha Yo. Then, four of them seemed to advance in a particular formation, occasionally launching sneak attacks with shuriken, disrupting him with genjutsu, and striking with ninjutsu as they moved. The other Uchiha, who was not part of the squad, struggled against Uchiha Yo with the squad's support.

More and more Uchiha who had heard the news came from elsewhere. Nearly all of the clan's younger generation had arrived, along with some little brats who had not even started school and had come purely to watch the excitement.

A smile curled at Uchiha Yo's lips. Almost everyone was here. It was time to start dancing~

"Shadow Clone Technique!" He created two shadow clones. The two clones immediately faced the four-man squad. "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Technique!" "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" The combined ninjutsu became "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet!" The four-man squad hurriedly defended. "Earth Style: Earth-Style Wall!" "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Technique!" As the Earth Style failed to block the attack entirely and the Fire Style failed to cancel out the Fire Dragon Bullet, the four scattered and fled.

At the same time, the Uchiha serving as their spearhead was taken down by the original body's set of Uchiha-style Swordsmanship and knocked to the ground. "One-Sword Style: Godspeed!" He charged toward their captain and took him down in a single strike. The other two shadow clones each went after one of the isolated little cuties. "Earth Style: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!" "Genjutsu: Hell Viewing Technique!" The little cuties went down.

The final squad member had suffered a minor injury in the first wave. Seeing Uchiha Yo walk toward him, he immediately raised his hand to concede. Several Uchiha sucked in a sharp breath. A few who had wanted to step in and have some fun now wore serious expressions.

Uchiha Yo said to the remaining people, "A lot more brothers have arrived, so let's save time. I'll take you all on at once. Here I come~" With that, he charged toward the remaining Uchiha. There were actually only eight of them, but the battle was completely one-sided. "Genjutsu: Dark Night March Technique!" Then he tore through them like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Those with real strength had already been dealt with in one-on-one fights, while those with some backbone had formed groups and entered the field only to be defeated. The rest either had not activated their Sharingan or possessed only one tomoe.

Before long, the ground was a mess. Uchiha Yo turned around and waved at Uchiha Cha and Uchiha Hualuo, signaling for them to take the defeated brothers away first.

After clearing the training ground, Uchiha Yo said to the newly arrived clansmen, "Our company was choosing a captain, yet we ended up making a spectacle of ourselves before you elder brothers. I really was bullying people just now, since many of them had not even activated their Sharingan. Is there any elder brother whose hands are itching and who wants to come down for a little fun?"

"This brother has returned after studying outside and truly wishes to witness the grace of the clan's many geniuses. I hope you elder brothers will not hesitate to offer your guidance!" After speaking, he bowed.

Many gazes turned toward a graceful young man. Uchiha Yo had seen him before. He was Uchiha Kuzan, the elder brother who had delivered their letter.

The young man slowly stepped forward, returned the bow, and said, "I am Uchiha Kuzan. Junior brother, you were being too modest just now. Teacher Zephyr said long ago that we brothers should exchange pointers, but Junior Brother was not in Konoha, so we never had the chance to meet. Today is perfect. Let this senior brother get properly acquainted with you." With that, he formed a confrontation seal.

When Uchiha Yo heard him say "junior brother," he was briefly confused. But after listening to the rest, he understood. "So it was Teacher Zephyr. We can't let Teacher down. Senior and junior brothers truly should get properly acquainted!" He formed a confrontation seal as well.

Both sides charged at each other. "Sword-Drawing Technique: Sky-Cleaving!" "Uchiha-style Swordsmanship: Gale Slash!" They exchanged a strike, and Uchiha Yo clearly gained the upper hand. After that blow, Uchiha Kuzan was forced back several steps.

Uchiha Yo pressed his advantage. His relentless series of attacks left Uchiha Kuzan struggling to defend himself. Both had activated their Sharingan, but seeing an attack did not necessarily mean one could block it. The body might not be able to keep up with the eyes. Uchiha Yo fought more and more smoothly, while Uchiha Kuzan was nearly driven to the edge of a cliff.

Uchiha Kuzan gritted his teeth and shouted, "Uchiha-style Swordsmanship: Sword-Leaping Flame, Gale Slash!" Combined technique: "Flame Gale!" Uchiha Yo watched the fire-enhanced slash, empowered by the wind, cleave toward him and smiled faintly. "Secret Sword: First Sword." This was what Uchiha Yo had comprehended while chopping trees: force. Then, while practicing swordsmanship with his eyes closed, he had found the technique within the blade. Finally, while fishing with his grandfather, he had found position—the spirit. Gathering the energy of heaven and earth, he stood in an invincible position.

With one strike, he sent Uchiha Kuzan flying. Even Uchiha Kuzan's sword had been cut with a notch. It was clearly unusable now. Uchiha Yo bowed. "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."

His gaze swept across the crowd as he smiled. "Who else? Who else is willing to offer me their guidance?"
