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

The two advisors, who had been rebuffed by Hiruzen Sarutobi, did not go their separate ways after leaving the Hokage's office. Instead, they went together to a secret room in the Mitokado family's residence to discuss the matter.

"En, Hiruzen is still too indecisive. Even if he wants to train a Jinchuriki normally, he shouldn't let people with ulterior motives get close to him," Koharu Utatane couldn't help but say.

"Yes, it's not hard to see from the last mission that Kakashi has already made contact with that inherently evil Uchiha brat, and he's no longer trustworthy," Mitokado Homura said seriously. "If Kakashi takes the Jinchuriki and joins the Uchiha side, then all of Master's plans over the years will be ruined."

"That's right, the Jinchuriki can only be controlled by our side." Koharu Utatane nodded and said, "Let's do it the same way as what happened back then. Although it was Danzo who did it, it's not difficult for us to replicate those methods."

"Using the same methods we used against White Fang back then? Isn't that a bit too much?" Mitokado Homura frowned.

"Hmph, who told Kakashi to be like his father, coveting things they shouldn't have touched?" Koharu Utatane said coldly. "What, are you becoming indecisive like Hiruzen as you get older?"

"Would doing this affect the peace of the village...?" Mitokado Yan pondered.

"We're doing this for the sake of the village's peace! Only by completely crushing the Uchiha's ambitions can the village truly have peace!" Koharu Utatane said.

"I understand," Mitokado Homura nodded. "Then let's do as you say. I will inform the clan to follow your orders."

……

While the two advisors were plotting, Uchiha Touhuan, who had already finished work, was practicing Sage Mode in his courtyard at home.

Having memorized the perfect Sage Chakra ratio, Uchiha Touhuan meditated for a while under the cover of night. Once the Sage Chakra had filled his entire body, Uchiha Touhuan suddenly opened his eyes, vertical pupils appearing in his eyes, and purple eyeshadow appearing at the corners of his eyes.

Uchiha Touhuan clenched his fist, feeling the abundant power within his body, and thought to himself, "The power in this state is indeed much stronger than before. However, I still need to practice the speed at which I refine Sage Chakra, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to use in battle."

Uchiha Touhuan closed his eyes again, relaxed his mind, felt the rhythm of the natural energy between heaven and earth, and began to circulate the secret technique of Ryuchi Cave.

On his first attempt, Uchiha Touhuan's perception range was already able to cover the entire Uchiha clan territory. Before long, he discovered that fluctuations of lightning release were coming from the backyard of the Uchiha Fugaku family, which was not far from his house. Upon closer inspection, a smile appeared on Uchiha Touhuan's lips.

Sasuke is practicing the technique that Uchiha Touhuan taught him the other day. It has to be said that Sasuke's talent in Lightning Release is truly amazing. It has only been about a week since he was taught this technique, and Sasuke is already able to compress the lightning ball he creates to a certain extent and make it rotate around his body twice.

However, this kid still needs to improve the stability of his ninjutsu. In just a few minutes, he was already covered in dust twice by the lightning balls he created.

After watching for a while, Uchiha Touhuan also decided to narrow the range of his senses, since it was late at night and it would be impolite to see something.

However, before he could close his senses, Uchiha Touhuan suddenly noticed a figure moving at high speed within the clan's territory, heading towards his home.

"This chakra fluctuation? Kakashi?" Uchiha Touhuan raised an eyebrow. Kakashi came to see him at this time?

Before long, Kakashi appeared in Uchiha Touhuan's courtyard. The first thing Kakashi saw upon entering the courtyard was Uchiha Touhuan meditating under the eaves.

At this moment, Kakashi was secretly alarmed by the aura that Uchiha Touhuan exuded. If the Uchiha Touhuan he had seen in battle before was like a burst of thunder, then at this moment he was like a dark cloud before a storm, seemingly calm, but containing the might of heaven.

"What's this?" Kakashi asked.

"Sage Mode." Uchiha Touhuan smiled slightly at Kakashi, who had already removed his mask, and said frankly without any intention of avoiding him, "Consider it a trophy from killing Orochimaru last time."

"Sage Mode?" Kakashi thought to himself. As a disciple of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, he was not unfamiliar with this form. The Fourth Hokage was able to enter this mode before his death, but due to a lack of practice time, he could not activate it at any time during battle.

"If Teacher had been able to use this form that night, the outcome would probably have been different," Kakashi thought to himself, sensing Uchiha Touhuan's power at that moment.

"What's the matter that you're calling me so late?" Uchiha Touhuan asked.

"There is something I need to ask you," Kakashi said after regaining his composure.

"Want a pot of wine? Let's talk while we play?" Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile, looking at the target fifty paces away.

"Okay." Kakashi nodded.

At Uchiha Tohkan's command, the butler quickly brought the two men two longbows and two quivers of arrows.

Uchiha Touhuan pulled back the bowstring to warm up, picked up an arrow, and nocked it.

After the sound of wind breaking, the arrow hit the bullseye fifty paces away.

After firing the arrow, Uchiha Touhuan turned to Kakashi and asked, "You must have practiced since that day, right?"

Kakashi nodded without saying anything more. He drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and shot it. With a muffled thud, the arrow landed steadily next to the arrow that Uchiha Touhuan had just shot.

"Hehe, looks like you've practiced diligently." Uchiha Touhuan chuckled. "Did you come to see me because of Naruto? Zaidou already told me about what happened today."

"That's right." Kakashi nodded. "I want to ask you to ask the Security Department to look after Naruto, no matter what."

"That's no problem. The Uchiha also have great respect for the Fourth Hokage. However, as you know, that child's identity is a bit sensitive. If the Security Department makes contact rashly, some people will get restless."

After hearing what Uchiha Touhuan said, Kakashi also fell silent.

The two men shot arrow after arrow, and before long, the centers of several targets in the courtyard were filled with arrows.

Finally, Uchiha Touhuan fired his last arrow, then put down his longbow and said, "I will give the orders regarding what you mentioned after I go to work tomorrow. The village may not be very peaceful in the near future."

After saying that, Uchiha Touhuan looked at Kakashi, who had already removed his mask, and smiled: "However, it seems that you are ready."
