In the secret basement of the Naka Shrine, the Uchiha Clan's gathering place.
Fugaku Uchiha's face was pale, his breathing labored, and his eyes appeared severely fatigued. The Tsukuyomi attack just now had already damaged his spirit.
If the Madara Uchiha before him hadn't held back, the damage he sustained would have been even greater.
"Why did you come back?" Fugaku Uchiha asked, his voice hoarse.
"Just to see Konoha, and the Naka Shrine. Much has changed here," Tianyuan said calmly. "I've seen enough. I'll take my leave now."
"Are you involved in some secret operation?" Fugaku Uchiha quickly asked.
"Who knows?" Tianyuan replied with a strange smile.
Then he slowly ascended the stairs from the basement.
Seeing this, Fugaku Uchiha quickly followed him. He couldn't allow the Uchiha clan members outside to be harmed.
Knowing that this person was very likely Madara Uchiha, Fugaku Uchiha had no further desire to contend.
The gap between the Mangekyo and their Sharingan was simply too vast.
Inside the Naka Shrine.
The Uchiha jonin had waited patiently after seeing the two Fugaku Uchihas enter. He could feel the fierce battle below, but it quickly ceased.
Just as this Uchiha clan member was about to descend, he sensed that someone, or rather, two people, were coming up.
"How can this be?" A hint of surprise flashed across the Uchiha clan member's face. Had the two known each other before?
A stranger's face appeared before this Uchiha clan member.
"Who are you?" This Uchiha clan member held a kunai, ready for battle.
"Don't move," Fugaku Uchiha's voice then came through, causing the Uchiha clan member to put away his kunai.
"I hope to see a different Uchiha Clan when I come to Konoha next time," Tianyuan said, then transformed into a black streak of light and quickly vanished from Fugaku's sight. The guards outside didn't even react.
Most importantly, Fugaku Uchiha had told them not to pursue.
"Clan Head, who was that person?" the Uchiha jonin asked.
"Madara Uchiha," Fugaku Uchiha said, looking at the dark sky.
"What?!" The Uchiha jonin was also utterly shocked.
Madara Uchiha? No way, he had already perished during the battle at the Valley of the End against Hashirama Senju.
"Didn't he die?" the jonin couldn't help but ask.
"Whether it was Madara Uchiha or not, he possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan. Furthermore, there's no point in impersonating Madara Uchiha," Fugaku Uchiha said slowly.
"Then it's very likely that he is..." The jonin didn't finish his sentence.
"Summon the Uchiha jonin. We will hold a council meeting," Fugaku Uchiha stated.
With such a major event, they needed to discuss what the appearance of Madara Uchiha would mean for them.
On the other side.
After leaving the Naka Shrine, Tianyuan headed directly back to his residence.
Now possessing the Mangekyo, it was difficult for anyone to track Tianyuan without him noticing. So Tianyuan returned to his residence with ease.
After closing the door, Tianyuan dispelled his transformation jutsu, reverting to his original youthful appearance.
"This time, the harvest was significant." Tianyuan smiled. With the Mangekyo Sharingan, Tianyuan now officially possessed the ability to escape from Kage-level opponents, or even defeat them.
Although Tianyuan's Mangekyo Sharingan was very powerful, encompassing all the Mangekyo abilities Tianyuan had previously understood—perhaps a result of system optimization—Tianyuan wouldn't use it lightly. After all, Tianyuan's current Mangekyo was not a true Eternal Mangekyo.
This was something the system couldn't resolve for him, unless Tianyuan acquired the Eternal Mangekyo in the future.
After using Tsukuyomi once, his eyes did sustain some damage. Of course, for the current Tianyuan, one use of Tsukuyomi was nothing significant.
Possessing a powerful physique, Tianyuan could better withstand such damage.
"I suppose the Uchiha Clan is in a panic now," Tianyuan said with a smile.
After all, anyone who knew that Madara Uchiha, the strongest Uchiha of the past, had appeared here, would find it hard to rest.
Madara Uchiha was a man who could contend with Hashirama Senju.
Hashirama Senju had indeed suppressed an era with his Wood Style.
Tianyuan's actions were merely on a whim. Now that he possessed the Mangekyo, Tianyuan had the ability to establish himself in Konoha.
Neither Orochimaru nor Danzo, nor anyone else, could capture him. At worst, Tianyuan could simply escape Konoha.
"However, there are still some things I can't easily reveal," Tianyuan mused, such as the Mangekyo itself.
Although Tianyuan now possessed the strength.
Contending with the entire Uchiha Clan was still somewhat insufficient.
"It's currently year 46 of Konoha. The Third Great Ninja War is about to begin." Tianyuan smiled. The Third Great Ninja War would be his time to shine.
...
Time passed quickly. After Tianyuan entered and left the Naka Shrine, Konoha remained largely unchanged.
Tianyuan guessed that Fugaku Uchiha and the others had decided not to inform the Hokage for the time being, as they couldn't confirm whether that person truly was Madara Uchiha.
Meanwhile, over the past half-month, many ninjas and civilians had been entering and exiting Konoha because the Chunin Exams were about to begin.
And the genin planning to pass the Chunin Exams were, of course, training non-stop, working hard for this Chunin Grand Tournament.
One could feel that Konoha's security forces were extremely vigilant, as this Chunin Exam was a rare opportunity—the Chunin Exams involving the five great nations and five great ninja villages.
This was a sight rarely seen in the ninja world.
This day was the day before the Chunin Exams.
"Tianyuan, I'm really strong now!" Anko Mitarashi said excitedly. For the past half-month, Orochimaru had been training Anko Mitarashi, allowing her to truly grow stronger.
"Indeed, very strong," Tianyuan glanced at Anko.
"What do you mean, Tianyuan?" Anko quickly asked.
"Nothing," Tianyuan's gaze fell upon a particular spot.
There were two groups of people confronting each other, neither of them Konoha ninjas.
Hidden Cloud Village and Hidden Mist Village?
