It took Uchiha Yuzuru five days to return to Konoha Village from the Land of Rice Fields.
He did not choose to use Kamui for the journey.
The distance between the Land of Rice Fields and Konoha Village was too great, and using Kamui for such a long journey would consume a lot of ocular power.
There would be many more occasions in the future where he would need to use his eyes, so until he obtained the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Uchiha Yuzuru did not intend to waste his ocular power on such meaningless things.
Of course, when he arrived near Konoha, Uchiha Yuzuru still chose to use Kamui to teleport directly back to his room.
After dispelling his Shadow Clone Jutsu, Uchiha Yuzuru went to find Uchiha Fugaku.
At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku was busy writing something at his desk, surrounded by stacks of various documents.
"Fugaku."
Uchiha Yuzuru tapped on the desk, and Uchiha Fugaku came back to his senses: "Yuzuru, you're back?"
"Have you chosen the relocation site?"
Uchiha Yuzuru nodded: "It's tentatively set for the Land of Rice Fields."
"The Land of Rice Fields…" Uchiha Fugaku stroked his chin, "That's not a bad choice."
"Where's the Clan Chief?"
"Father has been struggling a bit, so he asked me to handle the Family's affairs."
Uchiha Taro had suffered severe injuries in his youth; although Tsunade's medical treatment saved his life, he was left with an intractable chronic illness.
Even according to the original plot, the Clan Chief did not have many years left to live.
Uchiha Yuzuru did not dwell on it and instead asked: "How are the Family's affairs progressing?"
"All the Ninjutsu resources and supplies have been packed, and most of the Family members are already prepared."
"We should be able to relocate in less than ten days."
At this point, a hint of indignation flashed across Uchiha Fugaku's face: "I didn't know until I investigated, but it turns out the Uchiha Clan has been plundered of so much property by those few Hokage Advisors over the years!"
Uchiha Yuzuru waved his hand dismissively: "Don't worry, we'll get all of that back eventually."
"But since they like it so much, we'll leave them a few surprises this time."

After discussing with Uchiha Fugaku for a while, Uchiha Yuzuru left.
The current Uchiha Clan was completely different from the Uchiha Clan that was annihilated in the original story.
They had not experienced the long-term suppression by the Hokage faction, the brainwashing of the will of fire, or Uchiha Fugaku's indulgence of the dove faction… So, after simply relaying the contents of the Family meeting to the Family members, most of them agreed to Uchiha Yuzuru's plan.
Instead of being monitored every day, it was better to leave directly.
Without Konoha Village, the Uchiha Clan would still be a prominent Family in the Ninja World.
And with the Senju having already vanished, what would Konoha Village be without the Uchiha?
As for the few dove faction members… after Uchiha Yuzuru killed Uchiha Yashiro, they were like a flock of headless flies, only able to drift with the current.
Just as Uchiha Yuzuru was lost in thought, a childish voice rang out ahead.
"Grandma Riko, I'll help you cross the road."
"Obito, thank you, but I don't want to cross the road."
"Eh? Is that so? That's a shame…"
The boy called Obito showed a look of regret, which made Uchiha Riko unable to resist tapping him on the head.
"You child, even if you want to do a good deed, you should first confirm the other person's wishes."
Uchiha Obito mumbled, covering his head: "Got it, Grandma Riko."
Looking at the distinctive goggles, Uchiha Yuzuru felt a mix of emotions.
Who would have thought that this charmingly naive boy would later commit so many heinous acts?
Shaking his head, Uchiha Yuzuru walked over proactively and said to Uchiha Riko: "Grandma Riko, I told you to bring a cane when you come out."
Uchiha Riko smiled: "Yuzuru, you're right. Looking at these energetic little ones, it's hard not to feel old."
"Yuzuru?" Uchiha Obito's eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you Uchiha Yuzuru?"
Uchiha Yuzuru reached out and ruffled Uchiha Obito's hair into a bird's nest: "You should call me Lord Yuzuru."
"Ah, I understand, Lord Yuzuru." Uchiha Obito retreated a few steps dejectedly, then declared loudly, "My name is Uchiha Obito, and in the future, I'm going to be a Genius who surpasses you!"
Seeing Uchiha Obito's chuunibyo demeanor, Uchiha Yuzuru said faintly: "Words like that coming from a brat like you have no credibility."
Uchiha Obito pointed his thumb at himself, confidently saying: "Tomorrow is the day to report to the Ninja Academy, and I will definitely become an excellent Ninja."
Uchiha Yuzuru was momentarily stunned.
Tomorrow was the Ninja Academy entrance day?
During this time, while the Uchiha Family was in turmoil, the Village remained calm.
"Lord Yuzuru, are you listening to me?"
Uchiha Yuzuru glanced at Uchiha Obito: "Don't be late tomorrow."
"I won't be!"
— — — —
"Oh no, oh no, oh no!"
"I'm late!"
Uchiha Obito ran desperately on the road, but when he arrived at the Ninja Academy, he still only saw the banner being taken down.
The entrance ceremony had already ended.
"If you can be late for something like this, I suggest you give up on the idea of becoming a Ninja."
A sarcastic voice came from in front of him, and Uchiha Obito retorted angrily: "What did you say, dead-fish-eyed masked pervert!"
"Idiot."
Kakashi Hatake clenched his fists in anger, rolled his eyes, and continued walking back.
"You can't be so lax; youth should be full of passion!"
The voice came from below.
A boy in a green jumpsuit with a bowl cut walked past Uchiha Obito while doing a handstand.
The remaining people walked past Uchiha Obito, either mocking, curious, or gloating.
Soon, only Uchiha Obito was left on the playground.
"I messed up again."
Uchiha Obito pulled down his goggles to hide the tears welling up in his eyes.
He thought that by missing the entrance ceremony, he would have to wait another year.
Just then, a pair of large hands pressed on his head: "Crying won't solve any problems."
"This is yours, take it."
Looking at the admission notice Uchiha Yuzuru handed him, a look of surprise appeared on Uchiha Obito's face.
"L-Lord Yuzuru, how do you have this?"
"Because when I saw you yesterday, I could tell at a glance that you were the type of brat who would be late, so I came early to pick it up for you."
Uchiha Obito stared blankly at Uchiha Yuzuru for a while, then his nose couldn't help but sting.
Even though they had only met for the first time yesterday, Lord Yuzuru had specially come to pick up his admission notice.
He wanted to cry; he was truly too gentle!
