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

On the other side, Kakashi also spotted something similar and immediately shouted, "Stop!"

But his warning came too late. Most of the team had already discovered something similar. After they regrouped, Kakashi fell silent as he looked at the uncertain expressions in the others' eyes.

"Let's just pretend we didn't see these things," Uchiha Touhuan finally said after a long while.

"Clan leader! There's something here..." Uchiha Inahashi said urgently. The part he had just discovered was a detailed record of Orochimaru and Danzo's cooperation in hunting down members of the Uchiha clan to obtain Sharingan during the Third Shinobi World War.

"Shut up!" Uchiha Touhuan roared. "Getting involved in this won't do you any good!"

After reprimanding Uchiha Inahi, Uchiha Touhuan looked up at everyone and said seriously, "These things were discovered by Captain Kakashi and me, and we reported them to the Third Hokage separately. You didn't see anything, understand?"

"Understood, understood." Nagai Seiichi and Kuroki Ryuta nodded hurriedly. Everyone present except for the two of them had the support of ninja clans, big or small. The two of them had no backing. If they really got involved in this kind of thing, they would probably die mysteriously the next day.

"We didn't see anything," Hyuga Takato said. As a branch family, once they got involved in such a big matter, the main family, who were afraid of getting into trouble, would probably deal with them immediately.

Inuzuka Feng was even more direct. He stuffed the collected things into Uchiha Douhuan's hands. This kind of thing would be a disaster even for their Inuzuka family if they were involved.

Kakashi sighed. It seemed that handling the matter the way Uchiha Touhuan suggested was the safest approach.

"Kakashi, write the mission report like this: After discovering Orochimaru's trail, we engaged in a battle with him. Under Orochimaru's wide-range destructive ninjutsu, everyone except the two of us sustained some degree of injury... Oh, right, where are the other two?"

"Mitokado Hayato died at the beginning, and as for Utatane Itsuki, he probably died from the aftermath of your and Orochimaru's ninjutsu," Inuzuka Kaze said.

"That's quite a pity." After offering his opinion on the two's deaths, Uchiha Touhuan continued, "The two of us, still capable of fighting, chased Orochimaru all the way here, but Orochimaru escaped with his escape ninjutsu, and we found these things here."

"This... isn't that a bit much? We didn't help at all, did we? If we do this, won't we just be taking credit for Chief Dou Huan's efforts for nothing?" said Uzuki Yugao.

"That's not important," Uchiha Tohkan said. "I don't lack this little bit of merit, but you can't afford to take on this much trouble."

"Alright, that's how I'll write the mission report. You guys need to be careful not to let anything slip." Kakashi ignored Uzuki Yugao's question and nodded.

Kuroki Ryuta and Nagai Seiichi's gazes toward Uchiha Touhuan had completely changed. What kind of leader had they encountered on this mission? He was willing to share the credit with them, but also unhesitatingly took the biggest blame. From this moment on, they would fight to the death if anyone spoke ill of the Uchiha!

At the same time, Inuzuka Feng was also looking at Uchiha Douhuan, with a special light in his eyes.

"Alright, don't be so serious. You guys go outside and bury those human experiment subjects. Leave this to Captain Kakashi and me." Uchiha Touhuan's expression relaxed as he spoke. "Finish this quickly so we can head back to the village. To celebrate the successful completion of this mission, it's my treat tonight."

The group finally felt relieved and walked towards the outskirts of the laboratory together.

Kakashi and Uchiha Dohuan, who stayed here, began to collect evidence in the laboratory.

"What are you planning to do?" Kakashi asked, looking up after everything was almost packed up.

"Of course, we'll report to the Third Hokage, and then, guided by the Will of Fire, under the Third Hokage's wise leadership, completely eradicate the village's evil," Uchiha Touhuan said without looking up.

Kakashi: ...

"Even now, can't I even listen to a single truth?" Kakashi said coldly.

"Want to hear the truth?" Uchiha Touhuan's face showed a faint smile. "Then, you've made your choice."

"I just want to know the truth about what happened to my father," Kakashi said.

Uchiha Touhuan nodded: "That's enough."

"The truth is, we'll use these things to slowly destroy the Shimura family, the Utatane family, and the Mitokado family, and then take their place."

Kakashi's pupils contracted at Uchiha Touhuan's words. Kakashi understood that Uchiha Touhuan hadn't told him the whole truth yet. After all, besides these three families, there was another family in the village that had developed rapidly alongside these three families during the Third Hokage's reign. Uchiha Touhuan planned to destroy these three families and then take their place. What about the Sarutobi family?

Noticing Kakashi's expression, Uchiha Touken grinned, stepped forward, and patted him on the shoulder: "Kakashi, if you want to master archery, you still have a lot to learn."

After saying that, Uchiha Touhuan ignored Kakashi's reaction, gathered the evidence in Orochimaru's base, and walked out.

After everything was finished, Orochimaru's base was reduced to ashes in the raging fire by the combined effects of the Great Fire Dragon Techniques of Uchiha Inahisa and Uchiha Zaito.

After the flames died down, the group began their journey home.

The group remained silent throughout the journey until they returned to town late at night. Uchiha Touhuan led everyone to the place where they had eaten and drunk before, ordered a lavish meal, and after several rounds of drinks, the group finally recovered.

Slightly drunk, Kuroki Ryuta raised his glass: "Everyone, if you ask me, we should toast Chief Dou Huan. This mission was made possible entirely by Chief Dou Huan, which is why we were able to return so smoothly."

"Exactly, exactly!" Nagai Seiichi raised his glass as well. "There were always bad rumors about the Uchiha clan circulating in the village before, but this mission showed us the magnanimity of the Uchiha clan! Especially Chief Touhuan, that's what we're talking about!"

Seiichi Nagai gave a thumbs up.

"I won't say anything more! To Clan Chief Touhuan!" Hyuga Kenya also raised his glass to Uchiha Touhuan.

"Hey, didn't I already say that this mission was successfully completed thanks to everyone's joint efforts?" Uchiha Touhuan waved his hand, then raised his wine glass and drank it down with everyone.

"Douhuan is right. This mission is the result of everyone's joint efforts," Kakashi said after finishing his drink. "When we get back, I will report to the Hokage on everyone's behalf."

Seeing this, Uchiha Touhuan smiled with satisfaction. Although Kakashi looked a bit clumsy at this moment, he was finally getting the hang of things.
