My name is Uchiha Touhuan, and I beat the villagers so badly they cried out in pain.

In the 56th year of Konoha, the Nine-Tails' attack six years prior not only caused Konoha to lose its young and powerful Fourth Hokage, but also made the situation even more difficult for the Uchiha clan, one of the village's founding elders.

After all, the Sharingan mark in the Nine-Tails' pupils during the disaster six years ago couldn't be faked.

Faced with increasingly radical clansmen, Uchiha Shisui, who possessed the Will of Fire, was extremely anxious. At this moment, the Uchiha clan was like a powder keg that could explode at any moment.

Fortunately, the Uchiha clan meetings have never been able to come up with any rules, but at this moment, Uchiha Shisui was already considering using his ultimate weapon.

"It seems this is the only way." After leaving the clan meeting, Uchiha Shisui looked up at the moon and touched his left eye.

Time was of the essence, and Shisui planned to go to the Hokage Building that very night to report his plans to the Third Hokage.

To avoid attracting attention, he planned to take a detour through the Death Forest.

However, just after he entered the Forest of Death, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

At first, Shisui thought it was an enemy attack, but when he saw the person's face clearly by the moonlight, he breathed a sigh of relief and his expression softened.

"Doo-hwan, what are you doing here?"

The newcomer, Uchiha Shisui, was no stranger to him; he was Uchiha Touhuan, a genius of the Uchiha clan who was on par with him in this generation.

Compared to other Uchiha who were skilled in Fire Release and Genjutsu, Uchiha Touhuan was an anomaly. He put all his skill points into Lightning Release. On a battlefield during the Third Shinobi World War, he used Lightning Release: Kirin, which triggered natural disasters, to wipe out 15 Kirigakure squads and earned the name Azure Lightning Touhuan.

Meanwhile, in Shisui's eyes, this clansman, who was a year younger than him, was a rare member of the Uchiha clan who possessed the Will of Fire. He was always kind to the villagers in his work at the security department, and Uchiha Touhuan almost never participated in the Uchiha clan meetings. For this reason, the radicals in the clan had a lot of complaints.

"I just finished my daily training. But Shisui-kun, what brings you to the Forest of Death at this hour?" Uchiha Touhuan asked with a gentle smile.

"I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk," Shisui explained, since he couldn't very well say that he was going to the Hokage Building to deliver information about his clan.

"Is it because of matters concerning the clan and the village?" Uchiha Touhuan asked.

"Yes." Uchiha Shisui sighed. "You should understand, right? If the clan rebels, it will be no match for the village. At the same time, the village will be severely weakened, and the peace we have finally achieved will vanish."

Shisui didn't have much suspicion of Uchiha Touhuan. Uchiha Touhuan's kind and approachable way of working in the security department made Shisui want to bring him to the same side.

"People living in peace often don't realize how precious peace is," Uchiha Touhuan said. "At the same time, people in clans are limited to their own clan, so it's natural that they would face such a predicament."

Shisui was very pleased to hear what Uchiha Touhuan said. He hadn't expected that, besides Itachi, who was praised by the Third Hokage for having the mindset of a Hokage, there was another young man in the clan with a long-term vision.

"However, I do have some ideas about the current predicament of the clan and the village, but I need your help, Shisui-nii." The clear light shone through the gaps in the forest and landed on Uchiha Touhuan's pure white haori. In Shisui's eyes, Uchiha Touhuan at this moment was like a god.

"What's your plan?" Uchiha Shisui asked seriously. "What do you need me to do?"

"Please lend me your eyes, Shisui-nii." Uchiha Touhuan's words sent chills down Uchiha Shisui's spine. The next moment, a flash of blue lightning appeared in Uchiha Shisui's eyes.

The clang of metal against metal echoed through the Forest of Death. At the critical moment, Uchiha Shisui drew his ninja sword and narrowly blocked the fatal blow.

"Dou Huan? Why?" Uchiha Shisui questioned during the standoff.

"You're planning to side with the village, aren't you? You even went to such lengths to report to the Hokage so your clansmen wouldn't notice," Uchiha Touhuan said in a voice as cold as frost.

The two retreated immediately upon contact, standing facing each other with their swords drawn, their Sharingan eyes fixed on one another.

"So your capacity is limited to one clan? I thought you were a fellow practitioner with the Will of Fire." Uchiha Shisui's eyes also turned cold. Uchiha Touhuan's slash just now was clearly aimed at his life.

"Hahaha." Uchiha Touhuan threw his head back and laughed wildly. "How ridiculous! You and Itachi think you have the vision of an entire village, but your eyes can't help you see the future of your clan and village. Aren't you just like a frog in a well seeing the moon?"

Uchiha Touhuan crackled and crackled with lightning: "My vision has long since transcended this small corner of the world. What my eyes see is far beyond what you see. This sick world needs a complete and utter transformation!"

"Are you planning to start a war? You madman!" Uchiha Shisui gritted his teeth and said, "I thought you didn't participate in the clan meeting because you loved peace, but I didn't expect you to be even more insane than those elders. I was really fooled by your pretense."

"No, no, no, my reason for not participating in the clan council isn't that complicated. It's simply because I don't want to associate with these insects," Uchiha Touhuan said coldly. "They're always clamoring for rebellion, but they've never come up with a single feasible plan. How can you conduct politics with this bunch of insects!"

"I see, I understand now." Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui took a deep breath, as if making a firm decision. "Touhuan, your idea is too dangerous. For the sake of the village, I must stop you!"

The three tomoe in Shisui's eyes spun rapidly, transforming into a windmill-like pattern.

"Is this your trump card?" Uchiha Touhuan coldly watched this scene. "A genjutsu that can alter a person's will, Kotoamatsukami."

Uchiha Shisui's eyes widened suddenly. Ever since his Mangekyou Sharingan awakened, it had never been exposed. Why was Uchiha Touhuan able to see through his eye technique in one sentence?

"You look surprised?" Uchiha Touhuan laughed, then pointed to his eyes and said, "I told you long ago, my eyes can see farther than you think."

After saying that, the three tomoe in Uchiha Touhuan's eyes began to change, with three sharp lightning bolt patterns encircling the central pupil.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan?" Shisui stared at the scene in disbelief, never expecting that Uchiha Touhuan also had such a trump card.
