Fortunately, Nothing Happened at Home

Faced with Yun Yan's question, Uchiha Fugaku answered with absolute certainty:

"A short pain is better than a long one. I have a feeling that this is the Uchiha Clan's last and greatest chance. If we don't seize this opportunity, the future of the Uchiha Clan will be bleak."

Therefore, anyone who threatens this opportunity, whether from within or outside the family, will be eliminated without hesitation!

Upon hearing Uchiha Fugaku's firm answer, Yun Yan immediately clapped, but his response and reaction were somewhat intriguing:

"What the clan chief said is well said, but I wonder if the clan chief will be able to do a good job in the future."

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku was already quite tired and somewhat used to Yun Yan's sarcastic remarks. He sighed helplessly and said to Yun Yan very seriously:

"Just watch my future actions, but Yun Yan, I hope..."

At this point, Uchiha Fugaku pursed his lips, his expression somewhat troubled yet sincere, but he still spoke to Yun Yan earnestly and clearly:

"I know you don't feel much belonging to the Uchiha Clan. All your achievements are the result of your own hard work, and you have never received any favors from the clan."

However, I still hope you can protect the clan, especially in crucial moments, after all, you also bear the Uchiha surname."

Uchiha Fugaku's reaction to his words was not unexpected by Yun Yan, though it wasn't entirely within his expectations.

He chuckled coldly twice, then nodded.

"Alright, just like you said, no matter what, I'm also surnamed Uchiha. And as I said before, no matter what, I can't sever this blood connection."

Therefore, as long as the situation allows, and as long as the internal dynamics of the Uchiha Clan are to my liking, I am still willing to offer them some protection."

Upon hearing the affirmative answer from Yun Yan, Uchiha Fugaku was overjoyed; he was ecstatic.

"Then I'll leave it to you Yun Yan."

Having said this, Uchiha Fugaku stopped talking nonsense. He stood still, looked around at the many clan elders who had gathered around, straightened his expression, and said to them:

"Everyone, today's incident was indeed quite significant, but thankfully it didn't have a major impact on our Uchiha Clan."

Now that everything is completely over, everyone should go back. Don't gather here anymore, and don't disturb Yun Yan.

"Oh, and everyone, when you get back, keep your mouths shut. What happened today must not be leaked, neither inside nor outside the family, understand?"

The steadfast members of the surrounding families, glancing at the look in their clan leader's eyes and then at Yun Yan's indifferent gaze, suddenly felt a chill run down their spines. They then nodded vigorously, indicating that they understood.

Now that you understand, there's no need to stay here any longer.

Urged on by Uchiha Fugaku, these people left in twos and threes, and fewer and fewer people remained around them.

After they left, Yun Yan also left. He was too lazy to continue arguing with them and planned to turn around and go straight home.

When Yun Yan returned home and entered his own yard, he found that Quan had returned safely and unharmed.

However, Quan, who hadn't finished her housework to begin with, was even busier now, running back and forth throughout the house tidying up.

The reason for the tidying up was simple: when Yun Yan used his golden Susanoo to beat up Uchiha Shisui's green Susanoo, the ground tremors and shaking were so great that it was as if a small earthquake had been triggered in the surrounding area.

Since Yun Yan 'Yun Yan house was right here, and it was the closest, it was also the most affected. Many of his bottles and jars were knocked over, and Quan was right here cleaning them up.

Watching his woman bustling about, Yun Yan felt a little embarrassed. He could only help her tidy up while gently asking her questions to show his concern.

"Quan, it's all over now. Are you alright?"

As Quan tidied up, he answered quite appropriately:

"Don't worry, I'm not hurt at all. I was quick to dodge the whole time, and I followed your instructions to protect myself. Nothing's wrong."

Hearing this, Yun Yan checked Quan's body again to make sure she was alright before nodding in relief.

"Okay, it's good that you're alright. You know, you were the one I was most worried about."

By the way, is everything alright at home?

"That shaking and tremor was so strong, it was practically an earthquake. Our house is supposed to be pretty earthquake-resistant, but I'm still a little worried."

As Quan packed these things, he answered with a smile:

"It shouldn't be a big problem. I've already Kakashi to go outside and check on our house."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yan couldn't help but be stunned:

"Huh? You sent Kakashi to check?"

Quan's answer was perfectly reasonable:

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Seeing Quan's matter-of-fact expression, Yun Yan fell into a brief silence. He pursed his lips and finally forced a somewhat stiff smile:

"No... nothing's wrong, it's normal."

That being said, what Yun Yan was actually thinking was:

Why is Izumi treating Kakashi like he's at my beck and call these days?

Is it because they've become more familiar with each other? Why does Kakashi seem to act like a servant in my house? Is that really a good thing?

Just as Yun Yan was pondering this, suddenly, the window in front of Yun Yan was opened from the outside, Kakashi's lifeless face appeared outside. He looked at Yun Yan with a look of utter despair and reported to him:

"Yun Yan, and Quan, I just checked your house thoroughly from top to bottom and found that your house is quite earthquake-resistant. There is no obvious damage, and the house as a whole should be fine."

Of course, I'm not a professional architect. If you two still have any concerns or doubts, you can have a professional come and check it out. That way, there won't be any problems."

Seeing the bitter and resentful expression on Kakashi's face, and sensing the frustration and grievance in his tone, Yun Yan couldn't help but feel a little awkward.

"Haha, um... Kakashi, thank you for your hard work. I'm so sorry to have troubled you with things tonight."

Kakashi rolled his Byakugan at Yun Yan without any politeness, and then said even more rudely:

"Actually, it's nothing, just a small favor."

"That's right... Yun Yan, don't forget what you promised me tomorrow, you absolutely can't forget!"

When Yun Yan heard Kakashi say that, he couldn't help but feel confused. He was genuinely a little taken aback.

"Huh? What is it? Did I promise you something for tomorrow?"

Seeing Yun Yan's reaction, Kakashi was immediately shocked, looking as if he had been betrayed by his best friend.

He pointed at Yun Yan in almost disbelief, his finger trembling and shaking slightly.

"You, you, you, you, you... How could you be so outrageous? How could you forget so quickly?"

Seeing Kakashi's reaction, Yun Yan felt as if he were the unfaithful man, and he also felt as if he had really forgotten something.

Suddenly, he realized what was happening, slapped his forehead in understanding, and then looked at Kakashi apologetically, smiling ingratiatingly at him:

"Oh! I remember now, it's about that. Tomorrow I'll have you personally execute Danzo as the Danzo."

Don't worry, I've remembered this. I promise I'll personally Danzo. This job is yours, and no one can take it away from you. Now you can rest assured, right?"

Having received Yun Yan's promise, Kakashi nodded with slight relief.

"It's good that you remember, but you must never forget this."

Since that's the case, and since this matter is over for today, I'll be going now. See you tomorrow.

Yun Yan smiled and nodded at Kakashi.

"Alright, see you tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll make sure you get your revenge yourself."

With Yun Yan's promise once again, Kakashi truly had nothing to worry about now.

After nodding, he leaped away, leaving Yun Yan's home and the Uchiha Clan's territory, running towards his own home.

After listening to Kakashi's words and seeing Kakashi leave, Izumi tidied up the house while casually asking Yun Yan:

"Yun Yan, are we going to formally execute Danzo tomorrow? Is Kakashi going to do it himself?"

Yun Yan nodded as he tidied up the house:

"Yes, tomorrow Danzo will be executed in a public ceremony at the Memorial Stone."

Kakashi did it himself, and I agreed to it; it's something that's been bothering him.

After nodding, Quan suddenly said:

"I'm going to go see for myself tomorrow, to see what happens to the culprit."

Yun Yan smiled and readily agreed.

"Don't worry, you can go. We'll witness this together."
