Beside him, Uchiha Yuma, who had been tortured, grinned with a mouth full of blood and loudly chimed in.
"Clan Leader Fucheng must be lying to you. The Uchiha Clan has rebelled repeatedly; only through the constant restraint of the Hokage and Root can the Uchiha Clan truly integrate into Konoha again."
The bizarre statements from the two prisoners left Uchiha Shinji, who was streaming with tears, stunned.
He looked at Uchiha Fucheng with deep sorrow and an expression of utmost apology.
The Kunai he gripped tightly was pressed against Uchiha Toranosuke's neck, trembling as it drew blood.
"Shinji, he is right!"
To the right of Uchiha Riyao, a mysterious UchihaNinja wearing a mask revealed his true face.
"Clan Leader Fucheng did not lie to you; it is you who have deceived yourselves!"
The person speaking was naturally Uchiha Kagami, currently in the state of Edo Tensei.
His appearance did not have much of an impact on Uchiha Yuma and Uchiha Toranosuke.
It even left the two of them looking somewhat bewildered.
After all, Uchiha Kagami had been dead for nearly twenty years.
But for his own brother, Uchiha Riyao, the moment Kagami appeared, he immediately recognized his own younger brother.
"You are Kagami! Uchiha Kagami? How are you alive?!" Uchiha Riyao's exclamation left everyone stunned.
Especially Uchiha Toranosuke and Uchiha Yuma, who were tied to the iron frames.
A "dead man" who only existed in memories suddenly appearing before them—the impact of that was unbelievable.
Uchiha Kagami shook his head sadly. "I have not been resurrected; I am merely using a forbidden technique to return via Edo Tensei to seek revenge on Danzo Shimura."
Uchiha Riyao and the others saw the peculiar, clay-like cracks on Uchiha Kagami's face.
After Uchiha Kagami finished recounting how Danzo Shimura had used the Second Hokage's kin for human experiments, how he had backstabbed him to steal his Sharingan, and that Danzo might even be the culprit behind the ambush on Shinji...
Even Uchiha Fugaku, usually the most peaceful among them, became manic!
Uchiha Yuma and Uchiha Toranosuke, who had just been forcefully arguing, all wore expressions of despair, as if their worldviews had collapsed.
"How could this be?"
The tragic story of Uchiha Kagami and Uchiha Shinji, this most miserable father-son pair, used iron-clad facts to ruthlessly slap the Uchiha traitors in the face.
As firm as their convictions had been before, they were now just as sorrowful.
Fugaku usually had a good relationship with Toranosuke.
He really had not expected that such a person who loved life, a peer and an excellent Jonin who worked diligently in the Konoha Military Police Force, would sell the clan's secrets to Danzo Shimura.
"Why?!" Fugaku's words became the final straw that broke Toranosuke.
"Fugaku, Shinji, Uncle Kagami, Clan Leader Fucheng, I have failed you all!" Toranosuke's face turned ashen, and he was streaming with tears.
He looked back at Fugaku in pain and suddenly exerted force, shaking his neck.
He pressed hard against the Kunai and committed suicide at the hands of Uchiha Shinji.
Puff! Blood splattered everywhere!
Toranosuke's movement was violent, and the entire Kunai pierced through his neck.
With the movement of his neck, the Kunai sliced open a wound a palm's width wide.
Uchiha Fugaku shouted: "No!"
Uchiha Shinji hurriedly let go: "Toranosuke!"
The two were dazed; it was too late to save him.
The blood flow was extremely rapid; in less than two seconds, the light in Toranosuke's eyes had already dimmed.
The last shape of his mouth still formed the word "Sorry."
Toranosuke's death brought more than just shock to everyone.
It brought infinite rage toward Danzo and Root.
Beside him, Uchiha Yuma watched Toranosuke commit suicide, his whole being looking as if he had been struck by lightning.
He still had his eyes wide open, but they lacked any lively expression.
He only spoke when he looked at the Third Elder, Uchiha Riyao, in a tone devoid of emotion.
"Leave my eyes for Shinji. Please ask him to help us kill Danzo. We were wrong; this time, we were truly wrong..."
The group walked out of the dungeon.
It seemed as if the air outside was also filled with the scent of blood.
Uchiha Fucheng had made everyone personally finish off two Uchiha traitors!
This feeling of having one's hands stained with the blood of their own kin held an indescribable sorrow.
"Clan Leader, why did you spare me?"
The one speaking was Uchiha Yuma, who was dead inside, but the person standing beside him was even more surprising!
It was precisely Uchiha Toranosuke, who had just committed suicide and turned into a corpse.
This situation was naturally because Uchiha Fucheng had used the [Okuninushi-no-Mikoto] dojutsu to save the dying Toranosuke.
Because, under Uchiha Fucheng's Mangekyo observation, when Toranosuke committed suicide seeking death, both he and Yuma had displayed intense emotions of extreme anger, extreme sorrow, and extreme regret.
However, behind them, the other two Uchiha traitors who had begged for mercy early on showed no emotional change at all.
It seemed as if Uchiha Kagami being backstabbed by Danzo Shimura, Uchiha Shinji having his eyes gouged out by Danzo, and Uchiha clansmen having their organs harvested by Danzo were not big deals.
Fucheng stared coldly at them and secretly made a decision in his heart: "These two are not worth saving."
The stark contrast in their emotions allowed Uchiha Fucheng to easily make the "final verdict" regarding the traitors.
[Uchiha Toranosuke, suspended death sentence!]
[Uchiha Yuma, suspended death sentence!]
[Uchiha Ying and Uchiha Yu, death sentence to be executed immediately!]
It was precisely because of Uchiha Fucheng's decisiveness that the scene above, where Uchiha Yuma asked with hesitation, occurred.
The answer Fucheng gave him was also very simple.
If there is a heart of repentance, there is value in saving them.
But sparing them did not mean there would be no punishment.
The punishment Uchiha Fucheng imposed on them was to produce one hundred Uchiha descendants within two years.
Now was a rare transitional phase after the Ninja World War, a semi-chaotic period with the most refugees.
Fucheng did not care if they bought and sold people or gathered refugees from other countries.
He only demanded that the two use all their wealth to procreate as many Uchiha descendants as possible in the shortest amount of time.
This punishment was truly quite unconventional!
But the Third Elder, Uchiha Riyao, who was nearby, sensed the extra hidden meaning behind Clan Leader Fucheng's intent.
"Children, wrong is wrong! Clan Leader Fucheng having you procreate as much as possible is also a way to leave some future strength for the Uchiha Clan.
In the future, you must educate your children well, establish correct beliefs, and do not let those ambitious people strip away your self-awareness and normal intellect again."
Uchiha Toranosuke and Uchiha Yuma were even more moved upon hearing this, weeping as they bowed and repented to everyone.
They felt especially guilty toward Uchiha Kagami and Uchiha Shinji, bowing until their heads touched the ground while sobbing.
Toranosuke was a strong man over 1.9 meters tall, but when he sobbed, it sounded almost like the whimpering of a kitten.
Executing the traitors within the clan also allowed the two brothers, Uchiha Riyao and Kagami, to reunite in such a unique way after their life-and-death separation.
Fucheng led the group to continue secretly leaving the village from the northwest of Konoha.
The Uchiha Clan, which managed the Konoha Military Police Force, had many secret passages that bypassed Ninjutsu barriers.
The group did not need to worry at all about Konoha's exit registration system.
This time, their target was the Land of Grass, not far from the Land of Rain.
According to the intelligence gathered by the Misaka Sisters.
The Land of Earth and Hanzou were currently in the southwest region of the Land of Grass, having agreed to a secret meeting.
And Danzo Shimura, leading a portion of RootNinjas, would also set out from Konoha tomorrow for the Land of Grass.
Fucheng led everyone to set out a day early, specifically to catch him off guard at [Tenchi Bridge], the place Danzo was bound to pass!
