At night, a wave of sadness emanated from Kushina's home.
Fortunately, nothing that Hatake Sakumo was worried about occurred. Although Kushina was sorrowful, the Nine-tailed Chakra did not stir; she was pregnant now but not yet at her due date, so the seal remained intact.
In the evening, one of Uzumaki Minami's Shadow Clones returned and informed Uchiha Yoichi that Karin had entrusted him to take care of things, while she would stay with Kushina tonight.
After Uchiha Mikota returned, she learned of this too. She and Kushina were friends, and originally she wanted to visit Kushina, but it was too late, so she decided to go another day.
In the end, Karin was still taken care of by Mikota, and when bedtime came, the cradle was placed next to their bed.
Uchiha Yoichi didn't do much, merely hugging Mikota as they slept through the night.
The next morning, Uchiha Yoichi entrusted Karin to Mikota, then headed to the Security Team to hold a small clan meeting with the Uchiha Race's Jonin.
They discussed only one issue, which was the news about Uchiha Fugaku and how he aided the Akatsuki Organization against Konoha Ninja, indirectly causing the death of Namikaze Minato and several other Konoha Ninja on this mission.
Those clansmen who had followed Uchiha Fugaku previously felt somewhat ashamed and lowered their heads upon hearing this news.
Uchiha Yoichi told them this not to attack the previous Peace Faction clansmen; since the Uchiha's situation had been changing daily, the Peace Faction and Martial Arts Faction had disappeared, all turning into the Clan Leader Faction.
The Clan Leader's words were the clan's actions.
This gathering was also to let these clansmen spread the news and keep an eye on Uchiha Fugaku and the Akatsuki Organization's movements.
Now, with Uchiha Yoichi accumulating more and more good things, he could completely prepare for a campaign to obliterate a nation and unify the Ninja World; the Akatsuki Organization had become dispensable.
Moreover, the three from the Akatsuki Organization had done so many hateful things that even if they were captured and exposed, they could not escape a death sentence.
It would be better to resolve this sooner!
After receiving Uchiha Yoichi's orders, the Uchiha Race then spread the word to all clansmen, especially those like Toshiki who were conducting business outside.
Now, the Uchiha Race's businesses spanned the Land of Fire and had begun to expand into other major and minor countries. Though it was difficult for ordinary people to gather information about ninja, there was still a slight chance.

"Next, Konoha might frantically probe for our information. If they dispatch anyone again, they might send that person."
Uchiha Obito spoke to Nagato, realizing the situation had already exceeded his expectations; had he known earlier, perhaps he should have dealt with Jiraiya then, preventing so many troublesome issues.
Though Nagato and Jiraiya were now completely at odds, troubles kept coming one after another; a lot of information had been exposed.
Taking the opportunity of killing Jiraiya to kill one Namikaze Minato reduced many of their troubles, but exposing so much information meant further troublesome scenarios ahead.
Upon hearing this, Nagato controlled the Deva Path Clone to ask, "That person? Who is it..."
"Konoha Lightning Fang, probably the most troublesome person for you..."
Uchiha Obito said calmly; he thought with the Kamui Dojutsu, without Space-Time Ninjutsu, it was impossible to deal with him; moreover, he had to elude Nagato without showing weakness.
"Konoha Lightning Fang is the current Clan Leader of the Uchiha Race, and he's likely the strongest person within Konoha. During the Third Ninja World War, his contributions to Konoha's victory were substantial."
Nagato said calmly, "It doesn't matter; under the power of the Rinnegan, any ninja is the same to me."
Refining the Six Paths Clone, aside from a Resurrection Jutsu, practically unleashed all the power of the Rinnegan; last time, with all Six Paths Clones out, they defeated Jiraiya in Sage Mode in rapid succession.
If his body paired with Tobi, it would be even stronger, with Six Paths Clones plus a Gedo Body.
"You'll die if you get so cocky."
Suddenly, White Zetsu spoke cheerfully, "As for Konoha Lightning Fang's strength, the Mr. Nankai beside you knows very well."
Upon hearing this, the Deva Path Clone and Konan simultaneously looked at Uchiha Fugaku; the latter had not expected White Zetsu to reveal his true nature, but it was too late to be angry now. His display of such strength and information earlier certainly sparked suspicion.
Uchiha Fugaku removed the bandage from his head, revealing his true face, and said, "I am Uchiha Fugaku; Nankai is a river of the Uchiha's ancestral land."
"So that was you; no wonder a few days ago the Fire Release Ninjutsu was so powerful..."
The Deva Path Clone nodded, recognizing Uchiha Fugaku as quite a capable subordinate, evidenced from the battles a few days ago.
"That guy's Mangekyo Sharingan has two Pupil Techniques, one of which quickly heals his injuries; the other technique is still unclear, but his Susanoo reaches nearly a hundred meters in height... Whether it's now an Eternal Mangekyo, I am uncertain."
Uchiha Fugaku recalled his eyes, originally meant for Yashiro to hand over to Itachi, hoping Itachi would awaken the Mangekyo and merge his eyes.
Now, with Yashiro's death, where his Mangekyo Sharingan ended up, Uchiha Fugaku wasn't sure; he just hoped it didn't fall into the hands of that scoundrel Uchiha Yoichi, but chances were slim.
