Father and Son Arrested Together

In the interrogation room, Yuu put his legs on the table, leaned back in his chair, and glanced casually at Uchiha Fugaku.

"By viciously attacking fellow village ninja, Uchiha Fugaku, I suspect you're aiming to betray us."

"Uchiha Yuu, I'd eat my shit if you're right, and I dare you to kill me," Uchiha Fugaku roared defiantly, his face bruised and swollen.

"Lord Yuu, perhaps it's best to dispose of him immediately," suggested another individual.

"After all, he initiated the attack first, and even if he's killed, the Third Hokage wouldn't intervene," added another, justifying the action.

Uchiha Eren's face displayed a murderous intent; he was truly eager to kill Uchiha Fugaku.

As long as the Third Hokage has no reason to intervene, he is not afraid of any repercussions. As for the current patriarch, a man on his deathbed, he holds no fear.

Yuu stood up and approached Uchiha Fugaku, observing the bound man with a paternal air as he gently patted his head, much like an elder comforting a junior.

"Fugaku, you're still not stable. Keep this anger and savor what comes next," Yuu said calmly.

Then, he gestured to Uchiha Eren.

"I don't care how you make him sign the confession. Use any means necessary."

"Understood, Lord Yuu," Uchiha Eren said with a cruel smile directed at Uchiha Fugaku.

Torturing people was something he excelled at, and he was confident that Uchiha Fugaku would be cooperative next time.

However, he felt a tinge of disappointment that Yuu hadn't chosen to kill Uchiha Fugaku. If Uchiha Fugaku were to die, there would be nothing to impede him from ascending to the position of patriarch.

As soon as he exited the interrogation room, Yuu encountered the current patriarch of the Uchiha family, Uchiha Fugaku's father.

"Why is the patriarch visiting the guards?" Uchiha Yuu questioned Uchiha Garp.

"Uchiha Yuu, where is my son?" Uchiha Garp demanded.

"You should ask Uchiha Fugaku. He's been detained for assaulting a comrade," Yuu replied without respect toward the patriarch before him. After all, this elderly man had often hindered him in favor of his son's aspirations to become patriarch.

"Nonsense! Release him immediately! If news of the captain of the guard team's arrest spreads, it will bring shame upon the entire Uchiha family. Do you want us to become a laughingstock?" Uchiha Garp admonished sternly.

Yuu regarded Uchiha Garp with calm eyes.

"What if I refuse?" he countered evenly.

"I am the patriarch of the Uchiha family. Do you not heed my authority as patriarch?" Uchiha Garp's voice carried a cold edge, and his eyes flickered with a menacing light as he emanated an aura akin to that of a Kage-level ninja.

As the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Garp was undeniably formidable, a quasi-kage-level powerhouse. However, it was regrettable that he had sustained severe injuries during the World War II, and his current strength might not even match that of an Elite Jōnin.

Facing Uchiha Garp's imposing aura, Yuu remained unfazed.

Not only Uchiha Garp in his current state, even in his prime, he wouldn't have posed a threat to Yuu.

"Uchiha Fugaku attacked a fellow village ninja. His actions constitute betrayal. Patriarch, are you asking me to release him? Are you attempting to conceal this betrayal?" Yuu's voice remained steady as he addressed Uchiha Garp.

"Come forward and apprehend the patriarch," he commanded. "Today, in the pursuit of justice, the captain of the guard team will righteously execute familial justice, expose the betrayal, and bear the burden of sin."

With a serene smile, Yuu gestured, prompting Uchiha Leo and his men to step forward.

Today, Yuu intended to arrest both the father and son together.

Their consistent troublemaking had left him with no choice but to take action. If he didn't retaliate, it would be a disservice to the authority conferred upon him by the system he was bound to uphold.

"You dare... cough Uchiha Yuu, do you dare to arrest me? Are you planning to rebel?" Uchiha Garp's anger was palpable, accompanied by a heavy cough that indicated his ailing condition.

Upon hearing Yuu accuse his son of rebellion, Uchiha Garp was so furious that he nearly lost his composure.

"Rebel? It's not I who seeks rebellion. Your son is the one aspiring to rebellion, and yet you attempt to cover it up. You are the true rebel," Yuu retorted calmly.

As he spoke, Uchiha Eren had already taken action, moving swiftly with a ninja sword in hand. The blade mercilessly aimed for Uchiha Yuan's waist.

If the strike landed, the gravely ill Uchiha Garp would undoubtedly meet his end.

Despite his weakened state, Uchiha Garp, a quasi-kage-level powerhouse, still possessed the reflexes to react to Uchiha Eren's attack.

Uchiha Eren found himself unable to bring down Uchiha Garp in that moment.

As other Uchiha members prepared to intervene on Uchiha Garp's behalf, Yuu activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan and cast a threatening glance.

"You move, and you'll regret it," he warned with an icy tone.

His words instilled such fear that they dared not make a move.

Those acquainted with Yuu knew him as a ruthless individual. He had even participated in the second ninja war, where despite his youth and the war's conclusion, he had left a formidable mark on the battlefield.

Many within the Uchiha clan held deep respect for Yuu, acknowledging his strength and his willingness to act on it.

With his aura and the power of his Sharingan, Yuu effectively paralyzed them with fear, leaving them unable to act.

The old guy Uchiha Yuan also had a problem with his brain. He didn't bring a few powerful characters, but brought a few Chūnin who played as shit fooders.

he desired to bring stronger individuals, but they were currently engaged in missions outside of Konoha Village.

"This old guy is quite formidable," Yuu observed, noting Uchiha Garp's proficiency in both taijutsu and ninjutsu. He appeared to be on par with Uchiha Leo, making it unlikely that Uchiha Leo alone could subdue him.

Seizing the opportunity, Yuu acted swiftly. Multiple shuriken were launched towards Uchiha Garp, aiming for his heart, throat, and limbs.

Uchiha Garp deftly deflected three shuriken with his kunai, dodged two more, but ultimately, one found its mark, embedding itself in his right hand.

The Uchiha clan's shuriken techniques were renowned for their precision. With the Sharingan's keen insight, their accuracy reached unparalleled levels.

"Crafty," Uchiha Garp muttered under his breath, casting a sidelong glance at Uchiha Yuu.

"Isn't it rather amusing that you're resorting to sneak attacks against a ninja?" he remarked wryly. "After all, isn't ambush the hallmark of a true shinobi? Not everyone can charge into battle like Uchiha Madara."

With a swift Body Flicker Technique, Uchiha Yuu drew Ryūjin Jakka and swung it down.

While lacking formal swordsmanship or the release of Shikai, Ryūjin Jakka's inherent sharpness surpassed that of any Kusanagi sword in existence.

The blade cleaved through the air, catching Uchiha Garp off guard and leaving a bloody gash on his body.

Observing the scar on his chest, Uchiha Garp was certain of Uchiha Yuu's intent to kill.

As he sheathed his sword, Uchiha Yuu's mastery of the Uchiha Fluid Technique became apparent. With an injured hand, Uchiha Garp found himself unable to perform ninjutsu. Not everyone possessed the skill to form hand seals with just one hand.

In close quarters, Uchiha Garp, an elderly man with waning strength, stood little chance against Uchiha Yuu. Additionally, with Uchiha Leo by his side, the odds were overwhelmingly stacked against him. Under the combined assault of the two, Uchiha Garp sustained serious injuries and soon collapsed to the ground.

"Enough, Leo," Yuu commanded, halting Uchiha Leo's intent to deliver a fatal blow.

There was no need to invite unnecessary trouble by engaging in unnecessary bloodshed, especially considering Uchiha Garp's grim prospects following such severe injuries.

Despite his injuries, Uchiha Garp still had about a week to live, which could be considered a victory for Yuu. Therefore, there was no need to escalate the situation further by causing trouble for a dying man.

"Arrest Uchiha Garp for attempting to cover up his son's actions," Yuu ordered with a smile, directing his command to the individual beside him.

Uchiha Garp glared at Yuu, coughing up a mouthful of blood as he realized that Yuu had deliberately provoked him into a fight, exacerbating his old injury.

"So, capturing this old man doesn't count as evil?" Yuu expressed a hint of disappointment, lamenting his failure to accumulate "evil value."
