After leaving Shisui's house, Uchiha Xuan didn't return home. Instead, he headed straight for the Third Elder's residence.
Upon meeting the elder, he immediately brought up the situation of Shisui's family.
The Third Elder let out a long sigh and shook his head.
"Such is the cruelty of war. There's no such thing as true immortality on the battlefield."
"But Tianrong... That cold-blooded bastard. His men fight and die for him, yet when they leave behind widows and orphans, he simply abandons them? Truly disgusting!"
He then looked at Uchiha Xuan and asked,
"You wouldn't have brought this up if you didn't have a plan in mind. What are you thinking?"
Uchiha Xuan nodded and got straight to the point.
"I'm going to reform Uchiha's education system by officially establishing our own school."
"We'll create a preschool program and a proper academy divided into specialized classes."
"The preschool program will lay the foundations for young children, teaching them basic knowledge while instilling the right values and ideology early on."
"The academy will cater to children who don't attend Konoha's ninja school.
The curriculum will include:
General education (history, problem-solving, literacy)
Ninja fundamentals (chakra control, kunai throwing, taijutsu)
Advanced training (ninjutsu, genjutsu, medical ninjutsu, and sealing techniques)
Combat training
Uchiha clan history and philosophy
"The way we've been educating our children up until now is outdated and ineffective."
"It's too random, too rough, and completely ignores the importance of critical thinking and loyalty to the clan."
"This lack of education is why so many Uchiha are easily manipulated or led astray."
"This reform isn't just about training stronger ninja—it's about shaping a smarter, more unified Uchiha."
Uchiha Xuan's determined gaze met the Third Elder's eyes.
"I need your full support, Elder. The clan meeting is in two days, and I need you to help propose and pass this reform."
The Third Elder's expression hardened as he listened.
After a brief silence, he nodded firmly.
"This… is a brilliant idea."
"I'll fully support this. But to ensure it passes, you should speak with the First, Second, and Fifth Elders as well."
"If they're on board, the clan head won't be able to stop it."
Uchiha Xuan grinned. "Good. I'll handle it."
The Clan Meeting – Uchiha Tianrong's Resistance
Two days later, at the Uchiha Clan Meeting, the Third Elder stood up and formally proposed the establishment of a fully developed Uchiha Academy.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tianrong, the clan head, frowned deeply.
He immediately saw the danger in this proposal.
"If the academy falls under Xuan's influence, how many future Uchiha will still support me?"
His position was already weakened. If he lost control of the next generation, his faction would become irrelevant.
"I can't let this happen."
Slamming his hand on the table, Tianrong stood up.
"I oppose this!" he declared.
"There's already a ninja academy in Konoha. Why do we need a separate one?"
"This is an unnecessary waste of resources."
"We should invest those funds into supporting our most talented children instead."
The First Elder sneered.
"This isn't up for negotiation, Tianrong. It's already been decided."
"The Second, Third, and Fifth Elders have all agreed. Even if you oppose it, we will still proceed with the plan."
"If you refuse, we'll simply establish it within our faction, and any Uchiha child who wishes to enroll will be welcome."
"We have plenty of money and resources—we don't need your permission."
The Second Elder smirked, adding,
"Let's be honest here, Tianrong. The majority of the clan's wealth over the years has come from Xuan's family."
"Yet you and your people keep taking from them while doing nothing in return."
"Your greed is disgusting."
The Third Elder continued,
"This academy won't just improve our children—it will elevate the entire Uchiha Clan."
"Do you think every parent wants to send their children to Konoha's ninja school?"
"Konoha's academy doesn't just teach ninjutsu—it brainwashes them with the Will of Fire and glorifies the Third Hokage."
"No wonder so many Uchiha grow up disloyal."
"We refuse to let that happen any longer."
Tianrong's Last Stand
Tianrong's face darkened.
He could see that many clan members supported the idea.
The young Uchiha fighters were at the frontlines. Their children were left without proper guidance.
These parents needed this school.
Tianrong gritted his teeth.
"Damn it… If I had more of my people here, I could fight this."
Slamming the table, he roared,
"DO YOU STILL SEE ME AS CLAN HEAD?! IF I SAY NO, IT'S NO!"
Uchiha Xuan, who had remained silent until now, chuckled coldly.
He stood up, locking eyes with Tianrong.
"Does it matter if you agree?"
"You can't stop us."
"You should be grateful we're even including the rest of the clan."
"Or would you prefer we divide the Uchiha even further?"
Tianrong's face twisted in rage.
"You little brat… You think you can disrespect me like this?"
"You're just a seven-year-old kid who hasn't even awakened his Sharingan! You have no right to speak here!"
"GUARDS! ARREST HIM!"
Several of Tianrong's subordinates moved to seize Uchiha Xuan.
The First, Second, and Third Elders immediately stood up, enraged.
But before anyone could act—
BOOM!
A terrifying aura exploded from Uchiha Xuan.
Golden-red chakra flared around him, shaking the entire shrine.
The ground beneath him cracked.
"Magnet Style: Gravity Field!"
Tianrong's men collapsed instantly, crushed under an immense force.
They screamed in agony, unable to move.
At the same time, Uchiha Xuan's eyes flickered—
A pair of crimson-red Sharingan with three tomoe appeared.
The sheer pupil power radiating from them suppressed everyone in the room.
Even Tianrong's Mangekyō Sharingan—a dim, nearly blind pair—couldn't resist the pressure.
"Your Mangekyō Is a Fake."
Tianrong's eyes widened in horror.
"Impossible! How can your Three Tomoe Sharingan suppress my Mangekyō?!"
Uchiha Xuan scoffed.
"Your eyes are weak, Tianrong. You've overused them to the point of blindness."
"You barely have any pupil power left."
Tianrong, in desperation, activated his left eye's Mangekyō ability.
"Tsukuyomi!"
In an instant, Uchiha Xuan was dragged into the illusion world.
Tianrong appeared before him, grinning wickedly.
"In this world, I control time, space, and reality."
"72 hours in here is only one second outside."
"I will break you, little brat."
But before he could even finish gloating, he froze in shock.
Uchiha Xuan was already free.
Tianrong was the one shackled to the cross.
His own Tsukuyomi had been hijacked.
"What…? No… HOW?!"
Uchiha Xuan smirked coldly.
"You're in MY illusion now."
