"Why did he do this!?" Sasuke suddenly raised his head and roared angrily.
"Who knows? Maybe it was the Hokage's manipulation, or maybe he just went crazy." Feng Ye looked at Sasuke, but his mind was on the conditions for awakening the Rinnegan.
He remembered that the reason Uchiha Madara was able to awaken the Rinnegan was not just due to the Hashirama cells, but more importantly, the Ashura Chakra contained within them, combined with Uchiha Madara's pre-existing Indra Chakra.
And the current reincarnation of Indra was Uchiha Sasuke, right before him.
This meant that if he wanted to awaken the Rinnegan in the future, Sasuke was indispensable. Of course, he wasn't crazy enough to kill Sasuke.
He just needed to instill some ideas in him, and a few small modifications wouldn't hurt.
"The Hokage's manipulation?" Sasuke widened his eyes, a trace of confusion appearing on his face. He completely failed to understand why such a situation would occur.
"That's right. Last night, Danzo, the Hokage's Advisor, even brought people with him. He and the Hokage secretly colluded and plotted this conspiracy, aiming to completely wipe out our Uchiha Clan." Feng Ye recounted the events of the previous night to Sasuke with a look of resentment.
Sasuke listened quietly, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists, his jaw tight.
His heart was filled with anger and confusion. Were they subjected to such cruel treatment simply because they weren't obedient enough?
Furthermore, even Uchiha Itachi, the older brother he had always respected, was involved, helping those people ruthlessly kill their clansmen!
At this moment, Sasuke had no doubt about the words spoken by the person in front of him.
After all, ever since he embarked on this path to seek the truth, the attitude of everyone he had met clearly indicated the veracity of this matter.
"This is what you've been longing to know about your so-called older brother. Now that I've said everything that needed to be said, I'm leaving." Having finished speaking, Feng Ye turned and prepared to depart.
"Wait!" Sasuke suddenly called out, his voice carrying a hint of urgency. Seeing the other person stop, Sasuke hesitated slightly, then asked somewhat awkwardly, "Did you defeat Uchiha Itachi?"
"Who else?" Feng Ye shrugged, the corner of his mouth curving slightly into a barely perceptible smile, though the amusement flashed across his eyes as quickly as a shooting star.
Sasuke stood there quietly. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke again: "I heard from my parents that I don't need to go to school anymore?"
His voice was low and calm, as if this were not surprising news.
Feng Ye nodded, crossing his arms, and replied, "That's right. It's not just you; the entire Uchiha Clan has completely broken ties with the Hokage. From now on, you only need to receive education and training within the clan."
Sasuke took a deep breath, his gaze suddenly becoming sharp as he stared directly at Feng Ye and asked, "So, are you stronger, or is my father stronger?"
Feng Ye answered without hesitation, "Of course, I am."
Hearing this, Sasuke's body trembled slightly, but he immediately composed himself and said earnestly, "I... I want to take you as my master!" His gaze was unwavering, showing no sign of retreat.
However, Feng Ye did not immediately agree to Sasuke's request. Instead, he looked at him with a half-smile and countered, "Oh? You need to think carefully. I personally killed Uchiha Itachi."
Hearing this, a strong feeling of intense hatred surged in Sasuke's heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "Good riddance! A person like him deserves death! I personally witnessed him cruelly slaughter our entire clan, and he didn't even spare me..." As he spoke, Sasuke unconsciously clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms.
"Alright, I can take you as a disciple, but your father might refuse."
"I can decide my own affairs. I want to take the strongest person as my master, and then I will seek justice from the Hokage!" Sasuke was resolute.
"Then you are my disciple from now on." One down, Feng Ye thought to himself.
When Sasuke returned home and announced this to his parents, his mother, Uchiha Mikoto, naturally looked incredulous, but his father, Uchiha Fugaku, showed surprisingly little change in expression.
"To think you took him as your master. Study hard under him," Fugaku said calmly. Since Uchiha Itachi's death, he seemed to have aged considerably.
It would be a lie to say Uchiha Kaede felt no hatred towards him, but he wouldn't fight Feng Ye. He also knew that without Feng Ye's intervention in that situation, the Uchiha would truly have been gone.
But now, due to Itachi's betrayal and Feng Ye's actions, the Uchiha clansmen deeply hated their family, and some even wished to kill them.
After all, some people still died that night at the hands of Itachi or Danzo.
Letting Sasuke take him as a master might be a good choice, at least it could improve Sasuke's standing within the clan.
However, the two of them couldn't quite understand why Sasuke suddenly harbored such intense malice towards Itachi.
Before long, the news that the Uchiha Clan had completely withdrawn from the Konoha Ninja system spread rapidly like a fierce wind throughout the various clans.
For a time, the entire Konoha Village was plunged into an uproar, with people discussing it animatedly and expressing astonishment.
After all, as the former greatest clan of Konoha, the Uchiha choosing to part ways with the Ninja system undoubtedly meant that an irreconcilable conflict had arisen between them and the Hokage, shattering their relationship entirely!
However, facing such a situation, the Hokage appeared somewhat helpless.
Although he possessed great power and strength, there seemed to be no effective way to properly handle the difficult Uchiha problem.
The other major clans realized that this turmoil was far from over, and a fierce battle would inevitably break out between the Uchiha and the Hokage sooner or later.
Thinking of this, these major clans couldn't help but feel nervous and uneasy, because once the flames of war ignited, they would be unable to stand aside and would certainly be dragged into it.
In contrast, the happiest people were the ordinary commoners of Konoha.
When they heard the news of The Guard Squad's withdrawal, they were practically beside themselves with excitement.
Many people poured into the streets joyfully, cheering and celebrating.
This scene was enough to show how unpopular the Uchiha were in Konoha Village; their lack of popularity was astounding.
The Uchiha Clan members who witnessed all this felt the flames of anger burn even brighter in their hearts, and the last shred of lingering attachment they had for Konoha vanished at that moment.
Hearing these rumors, Feng Ye's heart stirred, thinking it seemed he could now go and completely deal with Danzo.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the person sent by the Hokage also arrived at Danzo's base.
"Contact that organization?" Danzo's eyes lit up. He thought this plan was good.
