Sudden laughter pierced the tranquility of the night, causing all the Uchiha clansmen around Nanga Shrine to look over.
No one knew why this Genius, the newest generation in the clan, would suddenly burst out laughing.
Uchiha Yuzuru paid no mind to their gazes.
Although he was a Transmigrator, he was also a native-born Uchiha.
Having suddenly gained such powerful strength, not letting out a signature Uchiha-style hearty laugh would simply be a disservice to his current identity.
Knowing that everyone was watching him, when Uchiha Yuzuru reopened his eyes, the profound Mangekyo Sharingan pattern had disappeared, leaving only three pitch-black tomoe slowly spinning in his eyes.
But even so, it filled Uchiha Yakumi and Uchiha Inaho's eyes with envy.
A Three-Tomoed Sharingan!
This was the power every Uchiha yearned for!
After Uchiha Yakumi and Uchiha Inaho exchanged glances, Uchiha Yakumi whispered, "What's wrong with Senior Yuzuru? He suddenly laughed so loudly and even activated his Three-Tomoed Sharingan. He seems a bit off, doesn't he?"
Uchiha Inaho snorted lightly and couldn't help but retort, "What's off about him? He's just excited. If I could also become a squad leader with a Three-Tomoed Sharingan at fourteen, I'd definitely be even more excited than Senior Yuzuru!"
"The youngest squad leader in history... After tonight, Lord Fugaku might really be overshadowed by Senior Yuzuru..."
Uchiha Inaho hadn't finished speaking when he felt Uchiha Yakumi nudge his arm.
He turned his head and saw that Uchiha Fugaku had appeared behind them at some point.
"L-Lord Fugaku!"
Uchiha Yakumi and Uchiha Inaho immediately bowed in greeting.
Under the Gekko, Uchiha Fugaku's tall figure cast a shadow over them, making both Uchiha Yakumi and Uchiha Inaho feel their lips go dry.
As the only son of the Uchiha Clan Chief, Uchiha Fugaku had been hailed as a "Genius" since childhood.
Later, he even earned the moniker "Fugaku of the Wicked Eye" during the Second Ninja World War.
His serious, rigid appearance combined with his formidable strength gave Uchiha Fugaku an extremely strong sense of oppression.
Now that they had been caught discussing him behind his back, Uchiha Yakumi and Uchiha Inaho, these two newly minted Ninja, felt like they couldn't breathe.
Fortunately, Uchiha Fugaku clearly had no intention of bothering with them; he merely glanced at them before shifting his gaze to Uchiha Yuzuru behind them.
"Loud shouting is not permitted at Nanga Shrine. Do you acknowledge your mistake?"
Feeling the Qi that Uchiha Fugaku released, Uchiha Yuzuru merely raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, showing no intention of answering.
Seeing this, Uchiha Fugaku's expression grew even colder, and he took two steps forward.
"Uchiha Yuzuru, I'm talking to you. Did you hear me?"
"Annoying!"
Uchiha Yuzuru frowned and lightly snapped.
The atmosphere instantly solidified.
Everyone held their breath.
Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Yuzuru were both "star Ninja" within the clan, and many had discussed who would be stronger in the future.
But no one expected these two to suddenly confront each other in such a setting tonight.
"Yuzuru is really too brave; he's not giving Captain Fugaku any Face at all."
"After all, Captain Fugaku was the one who started the trouble..."
"What does that matter? In terms of strength, Captain Fugaku is definitely stronger. Yuzuru will probably have a hard time this time..."
Uchiha Yuzuru could somewhat understand Uchiha Fugaku's provocation.
Within the clan, competition among fellow clansmen was simply too common.
This was the simplest, most direct, and most convincing method for Uchiha clansmen to establish their status within the clan.
Only the strong could earn respect.
Ignoring the chatter, Uchiha Yuzuru stepped forward and walked in front of Uchiha Fugaku.
Regardless of the reason, since the other party had come looking for trouble, he naturally had no reason to back down.
What's more, he originally had no good impression of this "Clan Chief" who wavered in the original work and ultimately led to the Uchiha Clan's extermination.
Now that he was tied to the Uchiha Clan, it was a perfect opportunity to establish some prestige among the clansmen.
Uchiha Fugaku was the son of the current Clan Chief and also an outstanding individual among the younger generation.
Using Uchiha Fugaku as a stepping stone to establish prestige couldn't be more suitable.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Yuzuru slowly walked up to Uchiha Fugaku and said indifferently, "To lecture an Uchiha, just words aren't enough."
Uchiha Fugaku smiled.
He understood Uchiha Yuzuru's subtext—
Whoever is stronger has the right to speak.
Arrogant brat, does he really think having a Three-Tomoed Sharingan makes him his equal?
Today, he would let him know that there are differences even among Three-Tomoed Sharingan users!
"Although the clan meeting is about to begin, for an Uchiha, demonstrating strength doesn't necessarily require using that most primitive power..."
Uchiha Fugaku snorted coldly, and his dark eyes also turned into crimson Three-Tomoed Sharingan.
"Although it seems a bit like bullying, don't blame me. A brat who hasn't experienced setbacks won't live very long."
As Uchiha Fugaku's words fell, the three tomoe in his eyes began to spin rapidly.
A powerful and tyrannical ocular power swept towards Uchiha Yuzuru.
Recently, clansmen had been constantly comparing Uchiha Yuzuru to him, and there were increasingly widespread remarks subtly suggesting Uchiha Yuzuru was more outstanding than him.
While it wasn't enough to make him resent Uchiha Yuzuru, as the clan's former Genius, Uchiha Fugaku also had his own arrogance.
He wanted to see if this Genius, whom the clansmen claimed could surpass him, could truly live up to such an evaluation.
Facing the offensive launched by Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Yuzuru sneered inwardly, and the Three-Tomoed Sharingan in his eyes also began to spin.
Feeling the fluctuation of ocular power, the surrounding crowd immediately became excited, and crimson Sharingan appeared one after another in the night.
"Genjutsu battle, using our Uchiha Clan's Sharingan to decide the victor, excellent, excellent!"
"Who do you think will win, Fugaku or Yuzuru?"
"Nonsense, although Yuzuru is very talented, he hasn't fully matured yet, so he definitely isn't Fugaku's opponent."
"Indeed, the Genius youth is probably about to Face his first setback in life."
Regarding this sudden confrontation, most Uchiha clansmen were still more optimistic about Uchiha Fugaku.
After all, even though both were Genius, Fugaku was a full nine years older than Yuzuru and was in the prime of his life as a Ninja!
Under everyone's expectant gazes, the tyrannical ocular powers fiercely intertwined.
However, what no one expected was that after only a few seconds, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly knelt on the ground, his forehead and back soaked in sweat, looking dispirited and clearly having suffered a huge Mental Energy impact.
Seeing this scene, everyone's mouths dropped open in shock.
It was clear that in the genjutsu duel just now, Uchiha Fugaku... lost?!
"Fugaku of the Wicked Eye, nothing more than that."
Uchiha Yuzuru looked down at Uchiha Fugaku from above, his crimson Three-Tomoed Sharingan continuously emitting a terrifying pressure.
Now that he possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, his Mental Energy and ocular power were beyond what Uchiha Fugaku could compare to.
Crushing the opponent was only natural.
