Merciless Domination

Uchiha Fenghuo lay at Sasuke's feet like a lump of mud!

The entire hall fell deathly silent!

At this point, the Uchiha clan members had yet to process what had happened!

Fast!

Too fast!

It was practically faster than the time they spent exercising at home at night!

From Uchiha Fenghuo making his move to being beaten into a cripple, the entire process had taken less than a minute!

Many Uchiha had initially worn looks of eager spectators, ready to watch this arrogant brat get taught a lesson.

But no matter what, they had never expected this outcome!

Of them all, Fugaku was undoubtedly the most shocked.

He had originally planned to reveal his Mangekyō Sharingan and save his son when Sasuke was about to be crippled.

He had never imagined things would turn out like this!

"Fugaku! This guy... are you sure he really is your son?!"

Uchiha Zongren looked at Sasuke, who stood quietly in the distance, and asked in a low voice.

"Hah..."

After taking a deep breath, Fugaku said firmly, "No! This guy definitely isn't my son. Sasuke couldn't possibly possess the strength to instantly defeat a Jonin!"

"If he isn't, that's even better. Then I can strike without restraint!"

Zongren suddenly revealed a savage grin and advanced toward Sasuke step by step.

"Not only did you impersonate an Uchiha, you even dared to cause trouble at our clan gathering. You must be tired of living!"

"None of you interfere. Let me deal with this fool who doesn't know his place!"

Zongren twisted his neck. His Three-Tomoe Sharingan glowed blood-red, while surging fighting intent rose from his body.

"You managed to infiltrate the Uchiha clan without being discovered, so you must have some skill! And it just so happens that I haven't had a truly satisfying battle in a long time. I hope you won't disappoint me!"

Seeing Uchiha Zongren preparing to face the enemy alone, Fugaku hurriedly warned him:

"Be careful! This guy isn't weak!"

"Relax! I won't be fooled by his appearance like Fenghuo was!"

Zongren stopped five meters away from Sasuke. It was the ideal distance—he could attack or retreat as needed, and it was also perfect for casting ninjutsu!

"Kid! I'll give you one chance. Tell me honestly who you are and why you infiltrated the Uchiha clan. I can spare your life. Otherwise..."

"You talk too much. If you want to die, come over!"

Whoosh!

A sharp sound tore through the air.

Sasuke's figure instantly appeared in front of Zongren, so fast it seemed like teleportation.

Before Zongren could react, he took a heavy punch to the chest.

However...

Bang!

Uchiha Zongren turned into a puff of smoke.

A Shadow Clone!

As an Elite Jonin, Uchiha Zongren did have some ability. He had actually used a Shadow Clone without anyone noticing.

"Hmph! Do you think you can hide from my eyes?!"

Sasuke's figure vanished from where he stood.

On a ceiling beam, Zongren had hidden himself and begun forming hand seals, preparing to launch a ninjutsu sneak attack. When Sasuke suddenly appeared beside him, he froze on the spot!

How had he found the location of his real body so quickly?

"You hid quite well, but not well enough!"

Sasuke mocked.

Rumble!!

The beam exploded directly, sending countless wood chips flying everywhere!

Then, everyone saw Sasuke drift down gracefully while gripping Zongren by the throat, looking utterly composed!

"I really don't know what you were acting so tough for!"

"Urgh..."

With his throat gripped, Zongren could not make a sound at all.

"What?! Captain Zongren was subdued that easily?!"

"Damn it! Let Captain Zongren go!"

The Uchiha clan members could hardly believe their eyes.

Uchiha Zongren, an Elite Jonin, had not even lasted ten seconds before being subdued by his opponent and held in his hand like a chick.

Sasuke ignored the shouting Uchiha around him. He merely looked expressionlessly at Uchiha Zongren in his grasp and said flatly:

"Just now, you seemed to say that I didn't know my place. Now, I'll show you what it truly means to not know your place!"

Hearing this and recalling Fenghuo's miserable state, Zongren was scared out of his wits. His body began struggling wildly, but it was completely useless.

"Stop!"

At the critical moment, Fugaku finally stepped forward.

He let out a furious roar as his Mangekyō Sharingan activated instantly.

Although Uchiha Zongren was at odds with him, he possessed the strength of an Elite Jonin and was one of the clan's foremost powers. Fugaku could not let him die just like that.

Especially not in front of so many clan members.

The next instant, the Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular technique activated, and a powerful wave of eye power surged toward Sasuke.

"Hmph!"

Sasuke's right Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan activated instantly, unleashing an even stronger and more tyrannical wave of eye power.

Before this eye power, Fugaku's eye power was like a splash in a raging sea. The instant the two forces collided, his was mercilessly crushed!

"Urgh... Aah!"

The backlash from his eye power struck him. Fugaku clutched his eyes and dropped to one knee, his face twisted in agony and covered in cold sweat!

"With eye power as weak as yours, don't show it off in front of me!"

Sasuke curled his lips disdainfully.

"Such immense eye power... Before it, my eye power is as insignificant as an ant! Could it be... is that eye of yours the legendary Eternal Eye?!"

Fugaku's face was filled with shock, terrified by his own guess!

"Oh! I didn't expect you to have some knowledge!"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

"Impossible! This is impossible! In the clan's history, only Uchiha Madara awakened the Eternal Eye. No other clansman has ever awakened it!"

Fugaku muttered to himself before looking at Sasuke with a solemn expression.

"Although I don't know why you possess the Eternal Eye, since you have such eyes, even if you are not a member of the Uchiha Clan, you must have some connection to the Uchiha clan."

"So please, spare Zongren. Everything before this was a misunderstanding!"

After considering it, Sasuke nodded.

"For your sake, I'll spare his life. But a small punishment is unavoidable. After all, that guy was so arrogant just now!"

Hah...

Fugaku immediately let out a breath of relief. As long as Zongren lived, a small punishment was nothing!

However, the next moment, Fugaku found his thoughts laughable.

Crackle!

Dazzling lightning suddenly flared in Sasuke's hand, and terrifying bolts of electricity directly swallowed Uchiha Zongren.

Soon, the lightning vanished.

At that moment, Zongren was emitting black smoke all over. His skin was charred black from head to toe, and his scalp was completely bare.

Everyone could even vaguely smell the scent of cooked meat!

Fugaku stood frozen in place. You called that a small lesson?

Sasuke did not care what Fugaku thought. He casually tossed away the charcoal-black Zongren in his hand, then turned and left.

This time, no one dared to speak up and stop him.

Even Uchiha Zongren, an Elite Jonin, had been instantly defeated. If they went up against him, they would only be throwing their lives away.

The Uchiha clan might be crazy, but they were not stupid. They would not voluntarily walk up to their deaths.

Only after Sasuke's figure had completely vanished from their sight did someone approach Fugaku and demand angrily:

"Clan Head! Are we really just going to let that guy go?"

"Oh? Then why didn't you stop him just now?"

Fugaku looked calmly at the clansman as though he were looking at an idiot.

"I... because... so..."

The clansman stammered for a long time without managing to utter a complete sentence.

At that moment, another clansman stepped forward. "Clan Head, was that eye of his just now the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan?!"

Earlier, all the Uchiha had focused their attention on Sasuke, so none of them had noticed that Fugaku had activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.

"This matter concerns our clan's secrets. I will investigate it myself later. You need not concern yourselves with it!"

Fugaku's gaze was distant as he lowered his head to look at the two half-dead men on the ground.

"For now, the most important thing is to send Zongren and Fenghuo for treatment!"
