“Most of it is true. Our Clan is now led by the Clan Head, and we are worse off than even the Sarutobi Clan. Who would have thought that a powerful Clan from the Warring States period would fall to such a state?” Lan Luo also felt some emotion regarding Setsuna’s actions.
“Yes, when the First Hokage died, I even rebelled to make the Uchiha Clan the Hokage,” Uchiha Setsuna also said with great emotion.
“How did you know so many secrets?” Setsuna asked, puzzled.
Lan Luo activated his Mangekyo, and three circular, hollow Mangekyo appeared before Uchiha Setsuna’s eyes. The pressure from the Mangekyo was fully displayed at that moment.
“This is my Mangekyo’s ability. My left eye can trace past events, and my right eye can predict some future events,” Lan Luo replied. He was lying, but no one else knew.
“That explains it. What do you need me to do?” Uchiha Setsuna returned to the main topic.
“I need you to find someone to send this article to various great nations and Ninja Villages. Do not let anyone know that it was done by our Uchiha Clan. After all, I know it, but if I don't reveal it, it’s not our doing, right? We need the Ninja World to know at the same time, including Konoha, so they don’t have a chance to block the news,” Lan Luo said calmly.
“Then I’ll send Inabi. It’s safer for him to handle this,” Setsuna was also very happy, eagerly anticipating the reactions of other Villages and Konoha when they saw the article.
“Okay, thank you, Elder. There’s one more thing I hope you can agree to. I need the scrolls for the Transcription Seal and the Uchiha Flame Formation,” Lan Luo was also very happy at this moment.
Elder Setsuna was also very happy now. Although the young man didn't explicitly say it, he felt that he was one of their hardliners. Still, he asked, “Did you go to Fugaku today?”
“Yes, Elder. I was ambushed outside the Village today and wanted to ask Clan Head Fugaku to uphold justice for me, but the result was not satisfactory,” Lan Luo said calmly.
“What is your view on the Uchiha?” Setsuna was even happier inside, with a Mangekyo user joining their faction.
“Elder, I think before we do anything, we need to replace the Clan Head. After all, during his tenure, the Uchiha were divided into three factions, and his own son was brainwashed into being the Third Hokage’s informant, moving out of the Uchiha’s Clan territory. Also, during his time, the number of Clan members has been decreasing. Other Ninja Clans are developing, while we are regressing. This Clan Head is truly unqualified,” Lan Luo said truthfully.
“Yes, we Elders have also seen that over the years,” Setsuna said, and then called for someone to bring the Transcription Seal and Flame Formation scrolls.
“These are the scrolls you wanted.” He then handed over the scrolls.
“Thank you, Elder.” Lan Luo happily accepted the scrolls. Killing two birds with one stone was truly delightful.
“Then I’ll take my leave.” He took the scrolls and leisurely walked home.
Watching Lan Luo’s retreating figure, Uchiha Setsuna also smiled and shook his head. It was a pity he didn’t have a granddaughter; otherwise, their relationship could have gone further.
Walking home, he was still very happy today. He had gained evolved eyes and secret Ninjutsu, no longer as silent as before.
Just then, “Senior Lan Luo, is that really you?” Uchiha Izumi’s voice came from behind.
“It’s Izumi. Are you eating three-colored dango again? Be careful not to become a chubby Izumi,” Lan Luo was also quite happy to see Izumi, completely unlike his previous self.
“Snap!” The dango skewer in Izumi’s hand broke into two. “Senior, ‘chubby Izumi’ is too rude.” She was happy to see Lan Luo, but hearing that from a boy she was slightly interested in made her a little upset.
“Sorry, sorry. Can I treat you to Ichiraku Ramen?” Lan Luo then realized he was getting a bit too arrogant. There were two voices in his mind: one saying, “Be calm, be calm,” and the other saying, “I don’t eat beef, I don’t eat beef.”
“Alright, I’ll forgive you this time. Don’t do it again next time, or Izumi will get angry, okay?” Izumi blushed slightly.
After entering the Grey Mist Space and sharing, his charisma had significantly increased, and with the newly awakened Mangekyo and Conqueror's Haki, he was full of attraction. Looking at Izumi, he remembered that the original owner met her on the Nine-Tailed Fox’s attack. Izumi came from a single-parent family with only her mother. The original owner helped Izumi, thus missing out on Itachi. To this day, the two are still very good friends, and the most important thing is that the original owner lived a very repressed life.
He extended his hand, signaling Izumi to reach out. At this, Izumi's cheeks were flushed, one hand holding the dango behind her back, and the other hand subtly reaching out, thinking, “Is Senior confessing to me?”
Lan Luo was just thinking that they had known each other since childhood, and among the Uchiha Clan, only Izumi and he were familiar. Now, Izumi should have just been promoted to Three Tomoe. When she was more stable, he would develop that Ninjutsu and let Izumi awaken her Mangekyo through genjutsu.
“Senior, have you just returned from a mission?” Izumi asked softly, her cheeks flushed. She knew Lan Luo was out on a mission and thought, “Senior is getting more and more handsome.”
“Yes, I just returned today!” Lan Luo said softly. The women of the Uchiha Clan generally had gentle personalities, and many married women stayed at home to raise their children.
“Hey, Senior, can you train with me tomorrow?” Izumi’s tone carried a hint of cheerfulness.
Lan Luo immediately thought of teaching Izumi the Marine’s Rokushiki. After all, the Naruto World had high offense and low defense, and he didn't want anything to happen to the girl who had eyes only for him. Thinking of this, he replied in due course, “Yes, I can. I have a newly created Ninjutsu, and I’ll teach it to you then.”
Izumi was very happy to hear this, and her steps became much lighter. She thought, “Senior is so gentle, and he can even develop Ninjutsu. He’s also very handsome and no longer silent like before. This Senior is truly wonderful!”
Soon, they arrived at the legendary Ichiraku Ramen. Seeing a Byakugan Ninja and a few civilian Ninja inside, Lan Luo called out, “Uncle, one miso char siu ramen, and fifty special ramen with pork cutlets.”
Izumi, standing beside him, was stunned to hear “fifty special ramen.” There was no way anyone could eat that much. She looked at Lan Luo in surprise. Before, he would eat at most two bowls of ramen, but now he ordered so much.
Lan Luo saw her little expression and wanted to tease her. “What’s wrong? Don’t you like your favorite miso char siu ramen anymore?”
Izumi quickly waved her hands and said, “No, no, it’s just that I didn’t expect Senior to eat so much ramen.” Then she whispered, “Will he become a fat Lan Luo very quickly?”
Lan Luo gently ruffled Izumi’s hair and leaned into her ear, saying, “This is also a secret Ninjutsu I developed. I can eat 50 bowls per meal! After all, a Ninja’s Chakra is power extracted from the body’s cells, and it can be replenished by eating to provide energy to the cells.”
Seeing Izumi’s eyes spinning a bit and her ears turning red, she replied adorably, “Oh, oh, I understand.”
Then, under his strange gaze, he ate 50 bowls of noodles, while the Hyuga Clan Ninja and a few civilian Ninja watching nearby did not leave.
“Do you know who has the biggest appetite in our Konoha Village?” Lan Luo said casually.
“Who is it? Is it someone from the Akimichi Clan?” Izumi also wanted to know the answer to this question.
“It should be the Hyuga Clan’s eldest daughter. I often see her looking like she can’t get enough to eat, and it’s baffling. The eldest daughter of a Ninja Clan can’t get enough food. Later, I learned that her bloodline must be very powerful, and the nutritional supply she needs isn’t keeping up,” Lan Luo said indifferently.
“How is that possible? The Hyuga is a prominent Clan; how can they not even get enough to eat?” Izumi also said indifferently, not delving deeper.
“You’ll know when you see it later,” Lan Luo took a deep look at the quickly disappearing Hyuga Clan Ninja.
