"No one can stop me today!" Feng Ye activated his Mangekyo again. The Dark Susanoo rose from the ground, and its skeletal fist struck out toward Fugaku.
Fugaku's eyes narrowed, and he also extended his Susanoo to clash head-on with him.
He was clearly very confident in his own strength, and Uchiha Feng Ye had just gone through a major battle with Itachi, so he must be exhausted now.
"This..." Uchiha Setsuna rushed to the scene with the Uchiha Ninja.
They looked around blankly, but soon someone noticed Uchiha Itachi hiding behind Fugaku.
"Uchiha Itachi, that traitor, is over there!!"
"Why is he standing behind the Clan Head? Why is the Clan Head fighting Feng Ye?"
"That's right! Feng Ye arrived just in time to save us!"
Uchiha Setsuna stared grimly at Uchiha Fugaku. Mangekyo! He actually had Mangekyo too!
Why didn't he use it against Uchiha Itachi just now?! Now he's using it against Feng Ye!
Only now did he understand why Feng Ye had asked him a few days ago to inquire about Uchiha Fugaku's stance—it was out of fear that he would betray them!
"Uchiha Fugaku! What are you doing!! Feng Ye is the hero of our clan!" Thinking this, the Great Elder roared at Fugaku.
After realizing the Uchiha Clan Ninja had arrived, Fugaku's face turned even paler.
Feng Ye sneered and shouted loudly, "Uchiha Fugaku attacked me to protect Uchiha Itachi. When Uchiha Itachi made his move just now, he chose to hide and watched his clansmen be killed! What right does a person like that have to be the Clan Head!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire area was in an uproar. The Uchiha clansmen began discussing amongst themselves; Uchiha Itachi attacking his own clansmen was undeniable.
The faces of the three elders at the front were as dark as the bottom of a pot, especially the Great Elder, who knew best that what Feng Ye said was true.
The Second Elder beside him spoke up, "Fugaku! Tell us if this is true! Why are you protecting this traitor! Is it just because he's your son!!"
Uchiha Fugaku did not refute it; after all, the facts were laid bare, and he couldn't offer any defense.
Now everyone was enraged. Is only your son a son, and ours aren't? Do our sons deserve to die?
"Feng Ye is right! You don't deserve to be Clan Head!"
"Hand over Uchiha Itachi!!"
Facing the pressure from the crowd, Fugaku finally felt bitter. He knew that if he didn't hand over Itachi, let alone keep his position as Clan Head, he might even be expelled from the Uchiha.
"Father... just hand me over." Just then, an extremely faint voice, like a flickering candle in the wind, drifted out from behind Fugaku.
Everyone looked over upon hearing the voice, only to see Uchiha Itachi, whose face was as pale as paper and completely devoid of color. He looked incredibly weak, yet his deep, cold eyes still gazed indifferently at the surrounding Uchiha clansmen as he parted his lips and softly spoke those words.
Hearing his son's words, Fugaku's heart trembled violently, and his eyes instantly became moist.
He turned his head and looked at Itachi standing nearby, his lips trembling slightly. He wanted to say something, but his throat felt as if it were clogged with cotton, unable to produce any sound.
After a long while, Fugaku finally managed to speak with difficulty: "Itachi..." However, having only managed to utter that one word, he couldn't continue, as he truly couldn't bear to hand over his own child to die like this.
He glanced again at Feng Ye, who was trapped inside the Susanoo, and secretly made a decision in his heart.
Fugaku took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said to Itachi, "Itachi, I will do my best to hold back Uchiha Feng Ye later. Watch for the opportunity and run away quickly!"
As long as you can save your life, nothing else matters!"
At this moment, he couldn't worry about anything else. Even if he were expelled from the Uchiha Clan because of this, it would be much better than watching Itachi die before his eyes.
However, Itachi gently shook his head. He knew very well that if Fugaku truly did this, even if he managed to escape successfully, his mother, who was the Uchiha Clan Head's Wife, and his young brother Sasuke would inevitably be in extreme danger.
Therefore, no matter what, he could not let such a thing happen.
"Release the Susanoo, Father. Don't worry, I won't die." Itachi looked at Fugaku with determination, his gaze revealing an unquestionable resolve.
Fugaku stared blankly at Itachi's resolute face, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Feeling helpless, he slowly lowered his hands, and the massive Susanoo that had enveloped the area gradually dissipated.
The Uchiha Ninja surrounded them, but they didn't get too close.
They watched the father and son warily. Feng Ye also released his Susanoo and walked over to the Great Elder's side.
"Well done, Feng Ye!" Uchiha Setsuna chuckled. The surrounding Uchiha clansmen were filled with surprise, admiration, and confusion.
Before this, they only knew Feng Ye was a genius, and many had never even met him.
But after tonight, Feng Ye would likely become the pillar of the Uchiha.
Feng Ye nodded, his gaze falling upon Uchiha Itachi.
Under everyone's gaze, Uchiha Itachi slowly walked out. He was also looking at Uchiha Feng Ye.
His plan had failed entirely because of this person.
"Do you have any last words?" Feng Ye met his gaze, his tone as calm as if he were asking about a trivial matter.
"Who exactly are you? How did you know about my plan?" Itachi asked the question that puzzled him the most.
"I am Uchiha Feng Ye. As for your plan, I merely went to inform the Great Elder while you were squatting on the telephone pole."
Feng Ye replied with indifference. His words were concise and clear, leaving Uchiha Itachi speechless for a moment.
"Alright, Great Elder, please allow me to send this traitor on his way!"
Feng Ye spoke again, raising his voice slightly this time, his tone carrying an undeniable firmness. The look he directed at Uchiha Itachi also held a cold killing intent.
Uchiha Fugaku clenched his hand, but many clansmen were staring at him, so he could only speak up to stop it, "No! We should first interrogate him for his reasons! How can we kill him so carelessly?!"
"Interrogate? I was leading the clansmen outside just now, fighting against Danzo Shimura. Is there still a need for interrogation? He colluded with the Hokage to try and wipe us out!" Uchiha Setsuna glared at Fugaku.
Hearing this, Feng Ye walked toward Itachi.
"Uchiha Fugaku! Do you even remember that you are the Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan?! Will you only be satisfied when all of us are dead!!"
Just as Fugaku was about to move, he was startled by Uchiha Setsuna's roar, and he struggled to stop himself where he stood.
Taking advantage of this instant, Feng Ye also released his Mangekyo eye power toward Itachi. "Amaterasu!!"
The moment the jet-black flames ignited on Itachi, he immediately transformed into a swarm of crows filling the sky. Feng Ye's eyes narrowed; he noticed that the eye of one of the crows had turned into a Mangekyo!
"Kotoamatsukami!!"
This scene frightened the surrounding Uchiha. Everyone nervously watched the crows and Feng Ye.
The crows gathered once more, and Itachi's figure reappeared. He was clutching his eye, and blood was continuously flowing out. Just now, to resist Amaterasu, he had once again overused his Mangekyo.
But it was all worth it. This Kotoamatsukami technique was his last resort.
"Takemikazuchi!!"
Terrifying lightning suddenly erupted, immediately enveloping Itachi, who vanished from the spot in an instant.
???
Everyone was stunned.
"Uchiha Feng Ye! Where is Itachi!?" Fugaku was trembling slightly; he couldn't feel Itachi's Chakra at all anymore.
Feng Ye glanced at him and said to the crowd, "The clan traitor Uchiha Itachi has been killed by me."
"What did you say!?" Chakra surged around Fugaku, and he was absolutely furious.
"Uchiha Fugaku! Are you going to betray us too!" The Great Elder formed hand signs, and pairs of Sharingan eyes stared intensely at Uchiha Fugaku.
The trembling Uchiha Fugaku was full of resentment. "Where is Itachi's body!?"
"It's gone. That was my Mangekyo Dojutsu; it destroys the corpse and leaves no trace, just like Amaterasu," Feng Ye said flatly.
"You!!"
"Enough! Uchiha Itachi is dead, and this matter ends here. Uchiha Fugaku, you helped a traitor. It's likely no one respects your position as Clan Head anymore!" Uchiha Setsuna snorted coldly.
