The three major families were completely unaware of what was happening in the city and were still happily dreaming in their own mansions.
Using the Genjutsu of their Three-Tomoe Sharingan, the Uchiha clan members silently infiltrated the people's house, causing them to die silently in their dreams.
"Night has fallen, go to sleep peacefully." Uchiha Takashi stood on the telephone pole, looking at the moon hanging high in the sky, and stroked his chin.
(It's actually just a broken pole, but it's the telephone pole he imagined, because it looks cool. To be precise, it doesn't even qualify as a pole.)
He was wondering if Uchiha Itachi was using all his eye power to create background environments.
After all, the moon is perfectly white now; it's nothing like the crimson moon that appeared during the Uchiha Clan Massacre.
After waiting on the telephone pole for a while, several members of his tribe who had come with him ran over from all directions.
"Third Elder, the Minamoto Family will resolve this."
"Third Elder, the Kimura Family will resolve this."
Listening to his clansmen's report, Uchiha Takashi nodded, glanced around, and asked, "Where's Yukimichi Uchiha? Does it take him this long to get to the Fujiwara Family?"
Just as he was asking, Yukimichi Uchiha jumped over from a distance. "Third Elder, the Fujiwara Family has been dealt with!"
Seeing that he had returned safely, Uchiha Takashi nodded. "Very good. I almost thought there were still some remnants of the Fujiwara Family that hadn't been wiped out."
Now that everything is resolved, I'll head to Daming Prefecture now. You all wait for me here.
The moon in the sky remained bright, City of Fire remained calm. No one would have imagined that on this moonlit, windless night, someone would silently die in their sleep.
In Daimyo's residence, in the Land of Fire, Daimyo pursed his lips tightly, staring at Uchiha Takashi before him.
" Uchiha guys, while I do look forward to you taking down the three major clans, if I remember correctly, we just met earlier today."
Daimyo seems to be in a bad state; it looks like she was just woken up from her sleep and is quite annoyed.
"Although this matter is important, there's no need for you to come to me every night. Do you know how harmful it is to a person's health to wake them up while they're sleeping?"
Uchiha Takashi simply raised his head and said calmly, "We've dealt with the Senju and Uzumaki clans, and all three major clans have been eliminated."
I'm just here to report to the Daimyo that this matter is concluded. You're in charge of the rest. The Uchiha 'Uchiha part of the contract has been completed.
Daimyo originally wanted to say a few more words, but upon hearing this, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
"You... you... you... are you guys this efficient?" After hesitating for a long time, Da Ming finally managed to utter this sentence.
He found it hard to believe; after all, less than a day had passed since Uchiha Takashi came to him offering to help him deal with the three major clans.
To be more precise, it took half a day, since I contacted him in the afternoon and he came back late at night saying the problem was solved.
This speed truly astonished the daimyo; in his estimation, it would have taken at least three days to resolve.
After all, there are quite a few Senju and Uzumaki within the City of Fire. Even if you, Uchiha, are strong, you should at least spend a few days gathering intelligence before making a move. Who would have thought you'd act so soon?
Thinking of this, the Daimyo looked at Uchiha Takashi with a suspicious gaze. "Are you sure you really solved it?"
Uchiha Takashi frowned, about to speak, when the Daimyo of the Land of Fire immediately waved his hand and said, "Never mind, I didn't ask."
The daimyo quickly changed the subject. "Then let's talk about the Fujiwara Family's assets."
Uchiha Takashi, with a calm expression, said, "Fine, it'll be as we agreed before: the power of the three major clans will go to you, and the assets to us."
The lord immediately jumped up. "What? You want the three major families? Do you even know how many there are?"
Uchiha Takashi said without batting an eye, "Our Uchiha Clan has put in a lot of effort to resolve this matter quickly, and at the same time, we have suffered considerable losses."
Without this fortune, it will be very difficult for us to recover. If we are defeated by Senju again at this time, what do you think Senju will do to us?
"What? You want to break your contract with the Uchiha and renege on your debt?" As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes immediately turned bloodshot.
Hearing Uchiha Takashi's words, the Daimyo finally sat back down. Let me make it clear, he wasn't being cowardly; he was simply tired and wanted to sit down.
He thought Uchiha Takashi's words made sense; after all, to defeat the Senju within half a day, the Uchiha would have to suffer heavy casualties.
From that perspective, it seems reasonable for the Uchiha to suddenly raise their price and demand more money. After all, they suffered huge casualties, so asking for that much money to raise their descendants is also reasonable.
However, the amount of money was simply too large, so large that even Huo Zhiguo, with his great name, didn't want to hand it over.
But if he doesn't hand it over... what if someone takes a dislike to him and kills him too? Didn't you see how the person Sharingan in anger when they heard he was going to renege on the debt?
The daimyo had no doubt about the possibility of this happening. Perhaps other clans would hesitate to touch him due to his status, but the Uchiha was definitely not among them.
The Uchiha, the most powerful clan in the Shinobi World, is also known for its volatile temper and reckless actions, often deciding things based solely on their immediate emotions.
If I really angered him, he could actually kill me in a sudden attack! At that point, even if the Uchiha was later defeated and killed by a combined attack from other clans, I wouldn't stand a chance.
But he was already dead by then. What's the point of killing the Uchiha when he's already dead?
Moreover, the Uchiha currently possesses the strongest armed force within the city. What if the Uchiha collude with other clan members within the Daimyo's residence and dethrone him from his position as Daimyo?
Once his mind cleared, Da Ming, in order to save his own life and also to keep the chair he was sitting on, immediately spoke from the bottom of his heart.
" Uchiha, I was just joking. I absolutely had no intention of reneging on my debt! You may take the assets of the three major clans!"
All the assets of the Fujiwara Family's branches are yours! I only need the power over the three major families.
Uchiha Takashi then slowly deactivated his Sharingan: "In that case, I won't disturb the Daimyo any longer. I hope the Uchiha will have more opportunities to cooperate with the Daimyo in the future..."
Watching Uchiha Takashi's departing figure, the Daimyo patted his wildly beating heart and quickly caught his breath.
This is terrifying! The Uchiha's aura is simply terrifying. When those Sharingan are staring at me, it feels like a mountain is pressing down on me. Are they treating me like Sun Wukong?
Fortunately, he managed to smooth things over; at least the Uchiha didn't pursue the matter further. It had truly terrified him.
If he really dies, he'll have no recourse. He's already dead; appealing to the Sage of Six Paths won't help. They can't possibly bring him back to life.
He didn't want to give up his comfortable life as a daimyo, especially since he was about to regain power as daimyo, and he didn't want to die.
"From now on, you'd better behave yourself... As for the Senju, forget it, they're just weaklings, and they even dared to associate with the Fujiwara Family —a traitorous scoundrel!"
Daiming wiped the sweat from his forehead, then put his trembling hands behind his back and went back to his room to sleep.
