Excitement, joy, satisfaction—those were the expressions on Feng's face as he left the Hokage's office.

The others who happened to see him passing by found it extremely strange. They simply could not understand why Feng would wear such an expression after being reprimanded and lectured by the Hokage.

Before entering the Hokage's office, Feng had been an arrogant Uchiha, as well as a shameless rogue who refused to take no for an answer.

Yet now, if one said Hiruzen Sarutobi had set him straight, Feng had gone directly home after leaving the Hokage's office and stayed indoors all day afterward. He did not even report for duty with the Police Force. Whoever tried to persuade him got told to get lost. The only exception was that he agreed to meet with his clan head.

But if one said he had not been set straight, Feng's own reason for staying home all day was supposedly to seriously study the book Will of Fire gifted to him by the Hokage.

Because of that, Feng locked himself at home for a full week before reluctantly stepping outside.

He claimed publicly that he was honoring his agreement to meet with the clan head, but in reality, he had already worked out his plan to flee Konoha. There was no longer any need to hide at home and think it over.

Feng had originally planned to use the card that copied Reanimation Jutsu: Hiruzen Sarutobi Version, then immediately find a chance to visit Konoha's cemetery, dig up the corpses of several powerful people, revive them with Impure World Reincarnation, and flee Konoha.

But considering that he was now something of a public figure in the village, if he went to the cemetery now, he would probably be recognized the moment he started digging. Then he would be caught, and that would be the end of him.

So, Feng's current plan was to quietly become a nobody in the village for a while, until people stopped paying attention to him.

After that, he would find a way to dig up corpses at the cemetery and make his escape.

Of course, before that, Feng had to meet with his clan head, Uchiha Fugaku.

The other man had summoned him immediately after he was lectured by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But at the time, Feng had been eager to use the card containing the copied Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu and make Reanimation Jutsu: Hiruzen Sarutobi Version his own.

Thus, he used studying and researching the Will of Fire given by the Third Hokage as an excuse to postpone Uchiha Fugaku's summons for several days.

Now, after a week of research, Feng had completely mastered Reanimation Jutsu: Hiruzen Sarutobi Version.

After all, a ninjutsu copied through a Copy Card gave him the original owner's level as soon as he consumed it. Although Feng's ninja talent was poor, he had studied for nearly twenty years in his previous life, so his comprehension was not lacking.

Not long after, in the clan head's courtyard within the Uchiha Clan District, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Feng sat facing each other.

Fugaku spoke first. "Feng, under the Third Hokage's guidance, you were able to change and stop being so radical.

"I'm very pleased. It shows that the Third Hokage put genuine effort into this.

"It seems that Konoha's upper ranks—or at least the Third Hokage—still harbor goodwill toward the Uchiha Clan."

Looking at Feng, who was now quiet and no longer causing trouble, Uchiha Fugaku was very pleased.

He felt that his years of effort had not been in vain. All the work he had put into suppressing the hawks within the clan and humbly currying favor with Konoha's higher-ups had finally received a response.

"Hehe, Clan Head, as long as you're happy," Feng replied with a smile. Though he knew Fugaku was wrong, he did not refute him.

"Mm, I heard that the Third Hokage will test your understanding of the Will of Fire in a month.

"For this month, you need not report to the Police Force. Stay home and read in peace.

"Strive to make the Third Hokage see you in a new light a month from now, and let him understand that our Uchiha Clan possesses a true Will of Fire as well."

Uchiha Fugaku spoke again and made arrangements for Feng.

"Mm, thank you, Clan Head. I'll diligently study Will of Fire, but..." Feng casually agreed while beginning to make a request.

"Go on. What is it? As long as it isn't an excessive request, it will be fine."

"Hehe, how could I possibly make an excessive request of you, Clan Head? I merely have a small wish that I hope you can fulfill."

"...Go on, then." Uchiha Fugaku frowned, displeasure appearing on his face.

He had not expected Feng, a mere genin of the clan, to not only fail to obediently comply with the clan head's summons and instructions, but even try to bargain.

If he had not still been counting on Feng to restore some of the clan's reputation when he met the Third Hokage again in a month, Uchiha Fugaku would have cast a Sharingan genjutsu on him and taught him what the clan head's authority meant.

"Hehe, Clan Head, I hope to shake your hand."

Feng completely ignored Uchiha Fugaku's displeasure as if he had not seen it, maintaining his cheerful smile.

"Shake hands??"

"Yes, just a simple handshake."

"This... fine." Uchiha Fugaku sensed that something was off, but a handshake was such a trivial matter that it should not cause any trouble.

Coupled with his confidence in his own strength, he still extended one hand.

Feng hurriedly brought out his two remaining Copy Cards, one of which still contained the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.

Then he clasped Uchiha Fugaku's outstretched hand with both of his own and silently recited, Copy Mangekyō Sharingan ocular technique.

Then, under Feng's intensely expectant gaze, two options appeared on the blank Copy Card: Mangekyō Sharingan ocular techniques—Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi.

Feng knew exactly what Amaterasu was. It now seemed to be a hereditary Mangekyō Sharingan ocular technique of Uchiha Fugaku's family, and Feng did not particularly want it.

He did not know what Tsukuyomi was, so he used the blank Copy Card to copy that ocular technique.

More importantly, being able to copy Mangekyō Sharingan ocular techniques from Uchiha Fugaku meant that Fugaku could use Susanoo. That was what Feng truly wanted.

Tsukuyomi, whose effects he did not know, was merely a bonus. Feng would most likely not use it.

Of the three Copy Cards Feng had brought with him when he transmigrated, one had been used to copy Impure World Reincarnation, and another would certainly be used now to copy Susanoo — Uchiha Fugaku Version.

The last remaining card would, barring any surprises, be saved for copying either the Flying Thunder God Technique or Kamui: Intangibility.

"Thank you, Clan Head. I'll return to researching Will of Fire."

After swiftly clearing the contents of the card that had copied the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, then copying Uchiha Fugaku's Susanoo, Feng released his hand and spoke happily.

"Mm. Go." Uchiha Fugaku answered sternly.

After returning home from the clan head's residence, Feng lay directly on the floor and laughed like a madman.

With Impure World Reincarnation and Susanoo — Uchiha Fugaku Version, he would dare to leave Konoha through the main gate in broad daylight, just like Madara Uchiha.

But now that I have such power, it seems the question is no longer whether I'll leave Konoha. It's whether Konoha's higher-ups can earn my forgiveness. Feng thought smugly.

Yet after being smug for only three minutes, he wilted.

Because he remembered something: he could not consume the card that copied Susanoo — Uchiha Fugaku Version yet.

If he consumed it now, Susanoo would prioritize using ocular power. With the ocular power of his One-Tomoe Sharingan, he feared that activating it even once would leave him blind.

Therefore, he first needed to remove his eyes before consuming the card that copied Susanoo — Uchiha Fugaku Version.

That way, since it was a copied ninjutsu, Susanoo would automatically become a ninjutsu that prioritized consuming chakra when it could not consume ocular power.

Afterward, he could put his eyes back in. That would let him use Susanoo freely without affecting his Sharingan.

But that also meant Feng still had to flee Konoha according to his previous plan. He could not stroll through the main gate in broad daylight like Madara.

Furthermore, after fleeing Konoha, he would need to find a highly skilled and trustworthy medical ninja to help him remove his Sharingan first, then put them back in.

But a ninja like that would be very difficult to find!

Wait, an idea suddenly struck Feng. Maybe he did not need to deliberately seek out a medical ninja capable of transplanting Sharingan.

He already knew the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu and planned to dig up several ninja from Konoha's cemetery to revive as future assistants.

Why not revive Rin Nohara as well? When she was alive, she had successfully transplanted Obito Uchiha's Sharingan into Kakashi Hatake.

After figuring that out, Feng became even more invested in the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu and began studying Reanimation Jutsu: Hiruzen Sarutobi Version again, despite already having completely mastered it.

Nothing else mattered for now. At the very least, he needed to further strengthen its control over those revived through Impure World Reincarnation.
