Swearing Loyalty unto Death, the Entire Team Reaches 100% Loyalty

The night was as dark as ink. Inside Uchiha Yao's room in the Uchiha Clan Compound.

Uchiha Yao sat cross-legged, slowly circulating his Chakra and guiding the medicine's effects to repair his damaged meridians and muscles.

"Phew..."

After a long while, Yao slowly exhaled a breath of foul air and opened his eyes.

Deep in his gaze lurked icy killing intent.

"Danzo..."

If not for his sudden burst at the critical moment and his forceful activation of the incomplete Lightning Release Chakra Mode: Prototype, he would probably have been a cold corpse by now.

That brush with death had driven Uchiha Yao's thirst for power and his obsession with controlling his own fate to unprecedented heights!

After about a week of recovery, Uchiha Yao's injuries had basically healed.

He immediately summoned Rin, Tetsu, and Kai.

"Sit."

Uchiha Yao gestured for the three to take a seat.

"It is time I explained the attack in detail."

The three nodded solemnly.

"The ones who attacked us were Root, under Konoha Elder Danzo's command."

"Root's attack was only the beginning."

"The Uchiha Clan's situation in Konoha is far more difficult than you imagine."

Uchiha Yao paused before briefly telling them about the village leadership's suspicion and suppression of the Uchiha after the Nine-Tails' attack, as well as the clan's possible future crisis of annihilation. Of course, he did not say outright that the clan might be annihilated, merely hinting that it faced a threat to its very survival.

Rin, Tetsu, and Kai looked as if they had been struck by lightning, their faces instantly turning pale!

Though they were members of the Uchiha Clan and had heard about some of the unfair treatment the clan received, they had never imagined that the clan's predicament had become so severe!

"How... how could this happen?" Uchiha Rin's voice trembled slightly. She had always believed that the Uchiha were Konoha's strongest clan.

"Those higher-ups actually treat the Uchiha like this? During the Third Shinobi War, how much blood did we shed for the village? How many clan members did we lose!"

Uchiha Kai's eyes turned bloodshot. "Captain! Is what you said true? We... the Uchiha, really will..."

He did not dare say that terrifying word.

"What I said is only milder than reality."

"So we have no way back."

"If we want to survive, if we want the Uchiha Clan to stand once more at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World, then we must become stronger! Strong enough to crush every enemy, strong enough to make new rules!"

Ding! Uchiha Kai's loyalty to the host has reached 100% (fanatical worship)!

Ding! Uchiha Tetsu's loyalty to the host has increased to 100% (together through life and death)!

Uchiha Kai's loyalty has reached 100%, meeting the special condition for "Potential Unleashed"!

Uchiha Tetsu's loyalty has reached 100%, meeting the special condition for "Potential Unleashed"!

Hearing this, Uchiha Yao's heart stirred!

Kai and Tetsu had actually reached maximum loyalty at the same time.

"Captain! From now on, my life is yours! Whatever you tell me to do, I will do it!"

Uchiha Kai suddenly dropped to one knee and swore allegiance to Uchiha Yao.

"Captain, me too." Tetsu and Rin also knelt down together.

"Very good. Kai and Tetsu, I acknowledge your loyalty."

"Next, I will unleash your potential and raise your strength, just like Rin's."

Without hesitation, Uchiha Yao directly selected Potential Unleashed for Uchiha Kai on the system interface.

Confirm spending 500 Clan Honor Points to use "Potential Unleashed" on Uchiha Kai?

"Confirm!"

Buzz—!

An invisible ripple instantly spread from Uchiha Yao and enveloped Uchiha Kai!

Crack, crack, crack!

The bones inside Uchiha Kai's body produced a series of dense popping sounds.

His muscle fibers became tougher and thicker at a visible rate!

His already sturdy body now brimmed with explosive power!

Ding! Uchiha Kai's Potential Unleashed was successful!

Constitution talent greatly increased!

Strength and defense significantly enhanced!

Chakra reserves slightly increased!

Kai had already excelled in taijutsu. Now that his constitution, strength, and defense had all improved, his strength had leapt to that of a seasoned Chunin. With just a little more training, he would reach the level of an Elite Chunin.

"Haah!"

Uchiha Kai let out a low roar and clenched his fists as a powerful aura erupted from his body!

"Such... such incredible power!"

"Captain... I..." Kai was so excited that he could barely form a coherent sentence.

"Feel it?" Uchiha Yao smiled faintly. "This is only the beginning."

He turned to Uchiha Tetsu. "Tetsu, you're next."

Having seen Kai succeed, Uchiha Tetsu's eyes were also filled with anticipation.

Yao once again spent 500 Clan Honor Points and used Potential Unleashed on Uchiha Tetsu.

The same invisible ripple enveloped Uchiha Tetsu.

Unlike Kai, Tetsu's body did not undergo much outward change.

However, a strange fluctuation of spiritual power faintly radiated from between his brows.

Ding! Uchiha Tetsu's Potential Unleashed was successful!

Genjutsu talent greatly increased!

Spiritual power moderately increased!

Chakra Control precision improved!

In that instant, Uchiha Tetsu's understanding of genjutsu reached an entirely new level!

"Captain..." Tetsu's voice carried a trace of barely concealed excitement. "I feel like... my understanding of genjutsu is completely different now."

"Very good." Uchiha Yao nodded in satisfaction.

"Kai, Tetsu, your transformations are only the beginning."

Uchiha Yao looked at the two, his eyes full of anticipation.

"In the future, you will become even stronger!"
