"Don't worry, no matter how strong an ant is, it's still just an ant."
After hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's words, the expressions on Uchiha Fugaku and the others' faces became somewhat complex.
After a long pause, Uchiha Fugaku slowly said, "Yuzuru, I've told you before, you really aren't suited to comforting people."
The Third Raikage patted Uchiha Yuzuru's shoulder and asked, "Yuzuru, what should we do next?"
Ever since Uchiha Yuzuru arrived at Hidden Cloud Village, he seemed to have never made a wrong decision.
To this day, the Third Raikage had developed the habit of asking Uchiha Yuzuru for his opinion on everything beforehand.
Upon hearing the Third Raikage's question, Uchiha Yuzuru calmly said, "Let's withdraw our Village's Ninja from the Land of Rain first."
"Our primary goal now is to annex the surrounding small countries, preparing in advance for the future occupation of the Land of Fire."
This was a plan Uchiha Yuzuru had already thought out.
Based on Minato Namikaze's fighting style, human wave tactics were basically meaningless against him.
Continuing to let Kumogakure's Ninja remain on the Land of Rain battlefield would only be accumulating achievements for Minato Namikaze; it was better to withdraw early.
Furthermore... after several years of war, Konoha Village was already at the end of its rope.
Even if Minato Namikaze emerged, with him here, the role he could play would not be too significant.
In this situation, even if Kumogakure attacked the small countries bordering the Land of Lightning, Konoha Village would not have the energy to intervene.
Hearing this, the Third Raikage did not ask further, but simply nodded and replied, "Then I will go prepare now."
"Ay, Killer Bee, you two come along."
Although there was a general direction, the remaining details still needed to be finalized.
The Third Raikage then directly left the ward with Ay, Killer Bee, and the others.
In an instant, only Uchiha Yuzuru and Uchiha Fugaku remained in the ward.
"Yuzuru, I have something to tell you."
Uchiha Yuzuru glanced at Uchiha Fugaku and smiled, "Fugaku, have you perhaps awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Uchiha Yuzuru in surprise, puzzled, "Yuzuru, how did you know?"
Back in the Land of Rain, after seeing Minato Namikaze, he had somewhat arrogantly charged forward alone.
But he never expected that Minato Namikaze would actually master Space-Time Ninjutsu.
Caught off guard, he was almost directly cut in the neck by Minato Namikaze's kunai.
To cover his retreat, Uchiha Homura and Uchiha Akari voluntarily stayed behind, paying the price with their lives.
The death of his comrades and close friends had a huge impact on his spirit.
He had always thought that if he could be as comprehensive in his thinking as Yuzuru, if he could foresee all the possibilities after making a choice, then such a tragedy would not have happened, right?
Running all the way in self-reproach and regret, by the time Uchiha Fugaku came to his senses, he already possessed the Uchiha Clan's legendary Mangekyo Sharingan.
But this matter, from beginning to end, should have only been known by him alone.
Seemingly sensing Uchiha Fugaku's confusion, Uchiha Yuzuru explained, "After the Mangekyo Sharingan awakens, the Sharingan cannot be voluntarily closed for a period of time."
"The moment I saw your eyes, I already guessed that you had awakened them."
Uchiha Fugaku sighed with a bitter smile, "Yuzuru, nothing can be hidden from you. I originally wanted to surprise you."
Uchiha Yuzuru smiled and asked curiously, "Fugaku, what are your eyes' abilities?"
Uchiha Fugaku did not hide it, directly saying, "My left eye's ability is Amaterasu, which can conjure black flames out of thin air within my line of sight."
"The black flames produced by Amaterasu will never extinguish and will burn the attached target to ashes."
Uchiha Yuzuru's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Amaterasu... it sounded very powerful, dubbed the "eternal black flames," but its actual combat performance in the original work could only be described as pathetic.
It almost never killed anyone and could be easily countered.
When Uchiha Yuzuru saw Uchiha Madara take off his clothes after being hit by Amaterasu and emerge unscathed, he was almost dumbfounded.
This performance was no better than a Great Fireball Jutsu.
But after thinking for a moment, Uchiha Yuzuru still didn't discourage Uchiha Fugaku, only continuing to ask, "What about your right eye's ability?"
"Tsukuyomi."
"Tsukuyomi?" Uchiha Yuzuru repeated, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Could it be Tsukuyomi?
Before Uchiha Yuzuru could ask, Uchiha Fugaku proactively explained, "Tsukuyomi is a type of Genjutsu that can create an incredibly realistic illusionary world. Those pulled into the illusionary world will live out their entire lives within it."
"Once the target believes he has died in the illusionary world, he will also die immediately in the real world."
Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's explanation, Uchiha Yuzuru raised an eyebrow and asked, "Can you interfere with what happens in the illusionary world?"
Uchiha Fugaku pinched two fingers together, "Yes, but only a little."
"The moment the target enters the illusionary world, the illusionary world is basically already set. In most cases, the changes in the illusionary world lead to different outcomes based on the target's different choices."
After speaking, Uchiha Fugaku said somewhat disappointedly, "Unlike Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi doesn't have much destructive power, sigh..."
Seeing Uchiha Fugaku's expression, Uchiha Yuzuru didn't know what to say for a moment.
This guy's mind was really one-track.
Compared to Amaterasu, he was much more optimistic about Tsukuyomi.
Tsukuyomi's ability could almost be called a single-target Infinite Tsukuyomi, and it was very similar to the ability of a life simulator.
Perhaps its destructive power wasn't very strong, but it was a Divine Artifact for awakening the Mangekyo!
If those talented Uchiha lived a miserable life in the world of Tsukuyomi, wouldn't they awaken their eyes?
Thinking of this, Uchiha Yuzuru admonished Uchiha Fugaku, "Fugaku, your Mangekyo Sharingan ability is very useful, you must keep it a secret."
"Also, try not to use the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan as much as possible normally. I will find a way to solve the problem of the Mangekyo Sharingan causing blindness."
After hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's words, Uchiha Fugaku nodded vigorously.
He was somewhat excited.
Ever since he left Konoha with Uchiha Yuzuru, he felt the gap between him and Uchiha Yuzuru growing larger and larger.
Eventually, he felt that he had almost no value left to do anything for Uchiha Yuzuru.
But now, everything was different.
He could finally stand tall again and stand behind Yuzuru!
