Chapter 289 - Chapter 189: Tale of the World

"No, it's Uchiha Yoichi, it's that guy, using the clan leader's power to kill Senior Yashiro!"

Uchiha Fugaku's heart was already filled with anger, Itachi's hope was shattered, Senior Yashiro was dead, while Mikota and Itachi, who betrayed him, were living together like family with his enemy in Konoha Village.

And his traces had completely disappeared, as if he had never existed.

"So, former clan leader of the Uchiha Race, are you willing to help me now?"

Uchiha Fugaku bowed his head in silence for a moment before raising it again, his face full of hatred as he said, "How do you want me to help you..."

It was that expression, utterly despairing of all reality...

Seeing Uchiha Fugaku's expression, Uchiha Obito was reminded of himself... then he spoke, "As I said before, the Akatsuki Organization will face the threat of destruction soon, and when the time comes, you just need to fan the flames..."

In the darkness, Uchiha Obito explained the plan to Uchiha Fugaku, but he didn't tell him everything; he also asked Uchiha Fugaku for some information about Uchiha Yoichi, which was valuable since Uchiha Fugaku had faced him head-on.

The Moon Eye Plan would eventually pit them against the Konoha Ninja Village, and given Uchiha Yoichi was almost the foremost powerhouse in Konoha Ninja Village, his information was extremely important.

————————————

[Tale of the World]: After falling asleep each day, a random 'teacher' will appear in your dreams, and you will learn by their side in various identities. The efficiency of learning in dreams is three times that of in reality!

"What kind of ability is this?"

After drawing again, Uchiha Yoichi discovered he had gained another bizarre ability. It's been over ten years since he graduated from the Ninja Academy, and now he has to be a student for a month?

"Another random teacher, which means anyone could appear, including a plumber or Teacher Abby? Purely luck-based selection, not very meaningful....."

Even if, on the first day, he was lucky enough to dream of a very powerful teacher and learned something by their side, the randomness would begin again the following day.

What can you learn in one night? Even at three times the efficiency of reality, Uchiha Yoichi didn't think it would yield much gain.

"Oh well, better than nothing...."

Uchiha Yoichi put away the superpower panel and then turned to look at Rin, who was studying alchemy, and said, "Rin, just memorize the details of each elixir's refining process for now. Once the industrial alchemy furnace is ready, I'll arrange one for you first thing..."

After speaking, Uchiha Yoichi habitually patted Nohara Rin's head.

"Hmm, I understand, thank you, Lord Yoichi."

Nohara Rin nodded, feeling a bit shy about Lord Yoichi patting her head, even though she wasn't a child anymore....

Suddenly, Uchiha Yoichi received a message from a clone outside, and after thinking for a moment, he split off a wood clone to guide Nohara Rin in the Alchemy Room while he himself went outside.

Kakashi had been brought back, and he planned to take a look.

The Sharingan in Kakashi's eye had evolved into a Mangekyo, but Kakashi hadn't realized it and didn't know how to use it.

Uchiha Yoichi intended to find time to switch Kakashi's eye to a Three-Tomoe and give him a Hashirama Cell as compensation.

Upon reaching Konoha Hospital, Uchiha Yoichi saw Hatake Sakumo had come as well, but this was expected, given it was his son and he was brought to the hospital upon returning to the village; naturally, Hatake Sakumo would want to visit.

"What happened to Kakashi?"

After putting down the fruit basket, Uchiha Yoichi asked with feigned ignorance.

Hatake Sakumo shook his head without speaking and pointed to Kakashi.

There was silence in the ward for a moment before Kakashi spoke with a face full of despair, "Father, Lord Yoichi, Rin is dead..... it was me, I killed her."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoichi showed no reaction, but Hatake Sakumo felt some shock and confusion, though he didn't show it on his face.

"Why? Kakashi."

Hatake Sakumo paused, then continued, "I rarely discipline you, but I've always watched over you as a father. Your growth makes me proud, and I believe you wouldn't do something like this..."

Encouraged by Hatake Sakumo, Kakashi closed his eyes for a moment, as if recalling the event, and after a few minutes opened them to speak slowly, "When I received the mission..."

After listening to Kakashi's account, Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Yoichi exchanged a glance.

Uchiha Yoichi asked, "What about the Hidden Mist Ninja's bodies?"

Kakashi was stunned and then recalled, "They should still be on the front lines. I don't know who killed the Hidden Mist Ninja, but the bodies were all destroyed...."

"As long as there's one head, the Interrogation Team can get information. Senior Sakumo, have Anbu bring the bodies back."

Seeing Hatake Sakumo nod, Uchiha Yoichi continued to speak to Kakashi, "Kakashi, continue to enhance your strength. The Sharingan is weighing you down to the point you're worse off than before. Once you recover, you can come find me. I have a method to solve the excessive consumption problem of the Sharingan...."

As he spoke, a branch extended from Uchiha Yoichi's palm, demonstrating to Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi.

His meaning was clear: the Wood Release Bloodline can resolve the drawbacks of the Sharingan.

Hatake Sakumo fell silent. As the Fourth Generation Hokage, if he agreed, it would feel like using his Hokage position to benefit Kakashi.

But Kakashi was his only son, after all, and since Uchiha Yoichi had proactively brought it up, Hatake Sakumo pretended not to notice and hoped in his heart that Kakashi would accept.

After a quiet moment in the ward, Kakashi finally spoke, "Understood, Lord Yoichi."

Returning to the Alchemy Room, Uchiha Yoichi also informed Nohara Rin of what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Nohara Rin asked worriedly, "Is Kakashi okay now?"

"He's already fine, just feeling guilty about accidentally killing you. Rin, what you did was inappropriate; you should have trusted the village more at the time."

Uchiha Yoichi told Nohara Rin, "There are many powerful ninjas in the village; even if the Hidden Mist Village released the Three-tailed Beast, I could have killed it outright.... their plan was crude from the start, but the deeper mastermind is well hidden."

"I'm sorry, Lord Yoichi, I just didn't want to destroy the village because of me..."

Nohara Rin knew her decision at the time was somewhat rash and had placed a heavy burden on Kakashi.

"But don't worry, Anbu has already gone to the front lines to retrieve the Hidden Mist Ninja's bodies. Once they're brought back, the Interrogation Team can learn their plot from the Hidden Mist Ninja's brains, and Kakashi will understand you then."

Uchiha Yoichi placed his hand on Nohara Rin's short brown hair, gently stroking it, saying, "This was an accident, and there's no such luck next time. Your life is precious too."

"...Yes, I understand, Lord Yoichi."

Hearing Uchiha Yoichi's caring words, Nohara Rin felt for the first time that Lord Yoichi's hand was warm, and she wished he would continue stroking her head.

With Lord Yoichi around, it felt like there was nothing to fear~
