Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

"Mmm."

After a long while, a glimmer of consciousness gradually reappeared in Uchiha Izuna's eyes. His head throbbed with pain, and he struggled to raise his hand to cover it. His pupils, which had lost their crimson hue, were filled with agony.

He had just had a series of very long dreams. In the dreams, the white-haired man who should have died was standing in front of him again, holding a sharp blade, and kept slashing at his kidneys until he had cut two strong kidneys into delicate kidney slices before he stopped.

"You've been tricked."

Uchiha Izuna took a deep breath. If he still couldn't realize that he was under a genjutsu at this moment, he could just throw the Uchiha name aside and feed it to the dogs.

"Oh no! Big cousin!"

Compared to his own current situation, Uchiha Izuna was more worried about the safety of his older cousin and son. Even he, the strongest of the three, had been captured by an enemy disguised as the daimyo of the Land of Waves. The other two would probably only face extreme humiliation.

The thought of his two closest relatives, whose fates were unknown, immediately caused a surge of intense, chilling power within Uchiha Izuna. He forcefully activated his weakened eyes, and the three tomoe reappeared, showing signs of merging.

"Do not harm my brother and my son!"

Sensing several presences behind him, Uchiha Izuna shouted, his magnificent robes billowing without wind, his aura instantly reaching its peak.

"Come on, eat more. Look how thin you've become. I don't know how your father has been abusing you."

"I really can't eat anymore~"

Before he could summon the fully charged Gundam Intimidation, a loving voice rang in Uchiha Izuna's ears. Upon hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar voice, the sharp expression on his face instantly froze.

He slowly turned his head and saw four figures sitting beside the lavish banquet. The plump old man who had just deflected the illusion while he was off guard was now busy putting food into his son's bowl, his wrinkled old face full of kindness.

The man chatting with the Grand Preceptor of the Land of Waves was none other than his cousin, whom he thought had met with misfortune. The two seemed to be having a pleasant conversation, just like old friends who had known each other for many years.

"untie!"

This bizarre scene, witnessed by Uchiha Izuna, made him subconsciously believe that he was still trapped in the nested doll illusion and hadn't woken up. He immediately widened his eyes, searching for a flaw in the illusion.

"Damn it, this illusion is so sophisticated."

Unfortunately, no matter how he tried to break the illusion, he was unsuccessful. The illusion was too real, and even his kaleidoscope was useless.

"Hey~ you're finally awake, come and have something to eat."

Just as Uchiha Izuna stood there, searching for a way to break the illusion, Uchiha Gin, who was discussing the latest developments in the ninja world with Uchiha Mio, noticed his younger cousin had already emerged from the genjutsu and immediately waved him over to eat.

"It's all fake, it's all fake."

However, Uchiha Izuna, who was already convinced that everything in front of him was an illusion, was not going to listen to the words of the genjutsu creation. Not only did he ignore the enthusiastic Uchiha Gin, he also stared at him with his dog eyes.

"Hey, you got a beating, huh?"

Seeing his younger cousin's blatant disrespect, Uchiha Gin's temper flared up instantly. He was about to roll up his sleeves and teach this disobedient little jailer a lesson...

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Tomoya immediately stood up, his handsome face, no longer showing any childishness, filled with excitement. He had already learned the truth about the Land of Waves, which had been hidden for many years, from his grandfather.

"Father! This is our home!"

"Don't call me dad, you false illusion! Eat my Great Amaterasu!"

Uchiha Izuna paid no heed to anything else, covering half his face with one hand. Crimson light shone through the gaps between his fingers, unleashing a chilling, sinister power within his eyes. The terrifying destructive force contained within the rapidly merging, bewitching pattern was about to erupt.

"Amatilas!"

A black fire lotus appeared out of thin air, and Uchiha Yutaka, locked onto by the eye power, trembled violently. His black eyes automatically turned red under the pressure of this aura, but he still could not resist Uchiha Izuna's overwhelming eye power.

This was the first time he had faced his serious father directly. Recalling the scenes of sparring with his father in the past, Uchiha Yutaka revealed a bitter smile.

So Father is this strong.

"Splash!"

The next second, a sky full of black flames engulfed the immobile Uchiha Tomoyu. Seeing his eldest grandson about to perish in the inferno, Uchiha Tajima could no longer remain still.

"Susanoo!"

A chilling crimson light flashed in those narrowed eyes, and a pair of large, white, bony hands instantly materialized, protecting the Uchiha Yutaka who had closed his eyes and awaited death.

"Second order".

Immediately afterwards, a white skeleton rose up, enveloping Uchiha Yutaka completely and isolating him from the black flames.

"What?! Bakan!"

Upon witnessing this astonishing scene, even Uchiha Izuna, who was well-prepared to handle all sorts of unbelievable situations, couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

He would never forget the white bull-horned Susanoo before him; it was the Gundam piloted by his deceased father.

"Phew, it was all fake after all."

Feeling the chilling aura emanating from the white Gundam, Uchiha Izuna became even more convinced that he was trapped in a genjutsu. His father had been dead for so many years, how could he possibly be in the Land of Waves? This enemy who cast the genjutsu was far too careless.

"You brat, are you trying to kill my precious grandson?"

Uchiha Tajima, who had pulled Uchiha Tomoya back from the brink of death, finally lost his temper and angrily berated his unfilial son for his recklessness.

"Hmph! You have absolutely no respect for reality. You look like a fat pig, yet you dare to impersonate Father. It's laughable."

Uchiha Izuna completely ignored Uchiha Tajima's reprimand, even shamelessly criticizing his physique. Little did he know that this remark would thoroughly enrage his father.

Snapped! ——

"The traitor!"

Uchiha Tajima slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. The bloodthirsty red light emanating from his eyes made Uchiha Gin, who was about to intervene, hesitate.

"Uncle, my little cousin is no longer a child, please don't let him go."

"Whoosh—"

With a flash, Uchiha Tajima's slender figure vanished from the table like a bolt of lightning. Uchiha Izuna, who had just finished his attack, narrowed his eyes; he sensed a threat to his life.

"Bang!"

The next moment, a large hand, as big as a fan, appeared in front of him. Unable to dodge in time, Uchiha Izuna could only raise his hand to defend himself.

The result was beyond his expectations. The force of the slap far exceeded his imagination; it was as if he had been struck by Hashirama Senju's wooden puppet at a hundred-meter sprint speed.

Struck by the sudden, heavy blow, he was sent flying backward, embedding himself heavily in the magnificent golden wall of the palace.

"Pfft!~"

With his blood surging in his chest, Uchiha Izuna couldn't hold back any longer, and a spurt of blood immediately shot from his mouth, his face gradually turning deathly pale.

"thump!"

"Haohaoqiang, who exactly are you?"

After landing, Uchiha Izuna endured the pain in his body and slowly straightened up, his sharp eyes filled with deep doubt.

He claimed that while he wasn't the strongest in the ninja world, he was at least in the top five of the power rankings. Besides his older brother and Hashirama Senju, he had never truly submitted to anyone. Even the much-hyped Kamen Rider Decade was someone he dared to challenge.

"I am your father."

Seeing his second son with blood streaming from his mouth, Uchiha Tajima felt both heartache and anger, and immediately retorted irritably.

"You are not allowed to insult Father!"

Dragons have scales that cannot be touched; to touch them is certain death.

The most valued emotion in Uchiha Izuna's life was family; no one could disrespect his relatives in front of him.

"Susanoo!"

Enraged, he seemed to be filled with power again, his eyes desperately draining his chakra. A tall, bright yellow figure appeared behind him.

"Stop fighting!"

With his grandfather's help, Uchiha Yuuki, who had successfully broken free from his father's eye power restraints, jumped around anxiously. He didn't know why his father was so obsessed with fighting his grandfather to the death, even at the cost of using the strongest power in his bloodline limit.

"Thump!"

The two half-body Susanoo clashed together, their bright yellow longswords striking the white light shield with a piercing metallic clang.

"Ah Yin, aren't you going to do anything about them?"

Sitting calmly at the dining table, sipping tea, Uchiha Miao asked with some curiosity, turning to Uchiha Gin beside him, who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold.

"If we let them keep fighting like this, this palace may be lost."

The latest novel is first published here!

"This is a perfect opportunity for the father and son to have a deep conversation. What is a palace, as long as no one dies?"

Uncle was in a bad mood, and Gin Uchiha didn't want to provoke him. He calmly shook his head, gathered the desserts on the table in front of him, and prepared to enjoy them.

"Snap—"

As soon as he finished speaking, the rubble above his head, unable to withstand the shockwaves from the battle between the two Susanoo, fell down, and coincidentally, it all landed right in front of Uchiha Gin, smashing his carefully selected dessert into pieces.

┻━┻︵╰(‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

Enraged, Uchiha Gin overturned the messy dining table, his lifeless eyes now filled with an unprecedented killing intent.

"Forehead?"

As this murderous aura emanated, the two Gundams, which were colliding fiercely, simultaneously paused. The father and son inside the cockpits both felt a chill run down their spines.

The next second, a ghostly voice rang in their ears.

"you!"

hiss-

The two blinked in confusion, and before they could find the source of the sound, they were horrified to discover that a large door had been violently torn open on their seemingly indestructible Susanoo.

"Give it back!"

Knock bang~ Knock bang~

Then a curly-haired man exuding a sinister aura walked in, his fists clenched and cracking.

"Sugar!"

"you"

"Enough talk, take flight!"

Unaware of the impending danger, the father and son stared wide-eyed, about to ask a question, when they felt a sudden dizziness, followed by intense vertigo that seemed to separate their souls from their bodies.

Glug! ~

Not far away, Uchiha Fuyu, who had been standing frozen in place, turned his head shakily and looked at the calm and wise old man behind him, asking with a mixture of surprise and doubt,

"Master San San Shui, am I seeing things? How could Grandpa and Father have been..."

"My real name is Uchiha Miao. In terms of seniority, I am your distant second uncle."

As Uchiha Miao slowly walked to his side, he brushed the dust off his clothes as he spoke, a faint hint of kindness appearing on his usually icy face.

"By the way, Uchiha Kagami is my grandson."

"Greetings, Second Master Miao."

Uchiha Yu looked at the old man he once respected with great surprise, never expecting that the other party was also his relative. He immediately gave a very polite junior's bow.

"Little Rich, you read that right, there's something you might not know."

Nodding with satisfaction, Uchiha Miao shifted his gaze from Uchiha Fuyu's bewildered face, finally settling on the noisy battlefield in the distance. His aged voice betrayed an undisguised sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and regret).

"Huh? What is it?"

Hearing Uchiha Miao's evasive answer, Uchiha Yutaka's doubts deepened.

"The strongest man in the Uchiha clan is actually him."

Uchiha Miao slowly raised his hand and pointed into the distance. Uchiha Yu looked in the direction he pointed and saw a tall figure standing between two collapsing Susanoo. His small body possessed a grandeur that overshadowed the Susanoo.

The Uchiha Tajima father and son, who had been violently swung around by the suddenly intervening Uchiha Gin until they vomited, were now unconscious and were being held in his hands like two dead dogs.

"You mean your eldest cousin? He's not."

Even after witnessing Uchiha Gin tear apart a Gundam and treat his father and grandfather like TES, Uchiha Fuyu still found it hard to believe.

In his memory, Uchiha Gin's strength stagnated due to an accident many years ago. Aside from his extraordinary financial resources, his overall level was ultimately fixed at the Jonin level. He wasn't weak, but he certainly couldn't be considered a strong person.

But now, the highly respected Uchiha Miao actually said that Uchiha Gin is the strongest man in the clan.

Xiao Guang: Oh? Yeah!

This unbelievable truth crashed against his newly established worldview and values ​​like a tidal wave.

"That kid is too cunning. After all these years, he's still playing dumb to take advantage of others."

Uchiha Miao shook his head. If he and Uchiha Fuyu were to switch roles, he would indeed find it hard to accept that a seemingly idle middle-aged man could suddenly shed his Cai Kun mask and become a powerful figure he could hardly reach.

"Fight? Why have you stopped fighting? Have you forgotten how to fight?"

On the other side, Uchiha Gin, his face cold, held up the two culprits who had disrupted his sugar intake, and questioned them in a sarcastic tone.

"Hey, Ah Yin, can you give your uncle some face?"

Uchiha Tajima, who was the first to recover from the dizziness, looked at his disheveled state, then glanced at his grandson in the distance, whose face was full of worry, and whispered a prayer.

Having finally reunited with his grandson, he didn't want to lose face in front of him.

Gin Uchiha, devastated by the loss of his sugar, paid no heed to any of that. His eyes filled with tears as he looked at his unrepentant uncle, his voice tinged with heartbreaking grievance.

"Face? Have you ever thought that I can't live without sugar? No, you only care about yourself!" (End of Chapter)
