Feeling the fury radiating from the surrounding Uchiha clansmen, Danzō—who only moments ago had been looking for a chance to eliminate Uchiha Feng—was instantly intimidated.
Especially Uchiha Fugaku before him, who had already awakened the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan. Not to mention Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui at his side, both possessing three-tomoe Sharingan.
If such a clan were truly provoked, even the Hokage himself would likely find it hard to deal with the consequences.
What shocked Danzō the most, however, was how fiercely the Uchiha clan was protecting Uchiha Feng. This—this was clearly them pushing Uchiha Feng straight toward the position of Young Clan Head!
One had to know that to this day, the Uchiha clan had never officially appointed a young clan head—because the position was meant to be claimed by the most capable.
"Uchiha Fugaku… our accounts will be settled another day!"
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Danzō prepared to leave together with Fugaku.
Uchiha Fugaku cast a deep look at the Root operatives beside Danzō, his brows knitting slightly.
In truth, he had learned immediately that Uchiha Feng had become a disciple of Namikaze Minato. Otherwise, he wouldn't have mobilized the clan's strength so decisively.
Yet even after swearing an oath of endless retaliation against Danzō, Fugaku still couldn't guarantee that Danzō wouldn't find other ways to destroy Uchiha Feng—the future of the Uchiha clan.
"Members of the Uchiha clan—hear my command!"
Suddenly, Fugaku's deep, commanding voice rang out. His strange, crimson Mangekyō Sharingan spun ominously.
At his words, the surrounding Uchiha clansmen stepped forward at once, standing quietly to receive his order.
Even Itachi and Shisui moved forward without exception.
Uchiha Fugaku then took out an object resembling a command token, its reverse engraved with the Uchiha fan crest.
"From this day forth, Uchiha Feng shall temporarily assume the position of Young Clan Head of the Uchiha."
"As such, he will oversee the affairs of the Uchiha clan's younger generation."
As he spoke, Fugaku handed the Young Clan Head's token directly to Ning Feng. His eyes gleamed with deep expectation.
"Uchiha Feng, though you are still young, your father believes in your potential!"
The moment his words fell, many of the Uchiha clansmen froze—then their spirits surged.
Quite a few even looked delighted.
Though Ning Feng was young, his words earlier—sharply rebuking Danzō—were more than enough to prove that Uchiha Feng was fully capable of bearing this responsibility.
And once Uchiha Feng was granted the title of Young Clan Head, Danzō and his ilk would truly have to think twice before making a move.
After all, laying a hand on Uchiha Feng would mean becoming an enemy of the entire Uchiha clan!
"Thank you, Father. I will work hard."
Ning Feng naturally understood this was Fugaku placing a protective barrier around him, wary that Danzō might try some other underhanded schemes.
Still, when the entire Uchiha clan had gathered around him, a warm current flowed through Ning Feng's heart—the warmth of being fiercely protected by one's own people.
Especially the actions of Fugaku, the ultimate "protective parent," were truly admirable.
After issuing his orders, Fugaku signaled to two other clansmen and directly escorted Danzō toward the Hokage's residence.
Watching Danzō's retreating figure, a faint smile curled at Ning Feng's lips.
This move had been well worth it.
Not only had he choked Danzō into speechlessness, but he had also, invisibly, united the Uchiha clan—and secured the position of Young Clan Head.
From now on, as long as no accidents occurred, becoming the Uchiha clan head and leading the entire clan was practically set in stone.
Of course, many clans in Konoha would never sit idly by and watch the Uchiha return to prominence.
Especially the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who certainly wouldn't turn a blind eye.
But for now, those matters had little to do with Ning Feng. At this moment, all he cared about was how to rapidly increase his own strength.
"Feng, I've always suspected that someone in Konoha's upper ranks was pulling strings behind the scenes, targeting our Uchiha clan," Shisui said fondly as he casually lifted Ning Feng onto his shoulder, treating him like a younger brother.
"I wanted to find some evidence myself, but I never expected you to uncover it first. Just for that alone, you deserve a major merit."
Itachi, standing nearby, also wore a rare look of affection. Usually taciturn, he unexpectedly became talkative.
"Shisui, you didn't see Danzō's face when Feng shut him down. It turned completely liver-colored."
"Just what Feng said today is enough to keep Konoha's ANBU busy investigating for a long time. It's not impossible that Danzō will be forced to step down."
At this point, Itachi actually burst out laughing, revealing a smile as bright as sunlight.
"Of course," Shisui said proudly, his doting gaze growing even stronger. "Do you know whose little brother that is?"
"He's my real brother, not yours! Hmph!" Itachi shot back, waving his hand and snatching Ning Feng onto his own shoulder.
"Come on, Feng—big brother will give you a piggyback ride!"
Watching Itachi and Shisui bicker, Ning Feng felt momentarily dazed.
Were these really the top-tier powerhouses who terrified the ninja world? Why did they look like children themselves?
"Hmph, Feng's my little brother too! If anyone's giving him a ride, it should be me first—!"
…
Under the doting care of Itachi and Shisui, the group of Uchiha clansmen returned together to the Uchiha compound.
Without a doubt, Ning Feng's actions that day had struck a deep chord in the hearts of countless Uchiha.
Soon, the legendary tale of Uchiha Feng berating Danzō spread throughout Konoha—and even across the entire ninja world.
Whether feudal lords or Kage-level experts, all who heard the news couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Especially those former Konoha ninja who had been slandered by Danzō and forced into defection—many nearly laughed themselves breathless.
Naturally, the name Uchiha Feng also spread throughout the ninja world.
People vaguely knew that in Konoha, there was such a child—sharp-tongued and fearless—who had scolded the old schemer Danzō until he was on the verge of going mad.
And yet, Danzō had no way to deal with him at all.
…
Before long, the time Ning Feng and the other students had left in the Naruto Online world was running out. They would have to wait until the next login.
Taking advantage of the moment, Ning Feng immediately logged out.
A flash of white light—
When Ning Feng opened his eyes again, he had returned to the school playground.
