As they walked back home, Chen sank into deep thoughts.
He knew he was about to lose a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan. However, he didn't care too much. In his opinion, those eyes were practically useless to him.
Noticing Chen's distant look, Mikoto gently asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Chen quickly reacted, saying it wasn't anything important. "Let's go, shall we?" he suggested, taking Mikoto and Kushina's hands.
Kushina, still shocked from seeing that man rip out his own eyes, asked, "What's going to happen to that guy?"
"Don't worry about it," Chen replied calmly. "I have everything under control."
As they walked, Chen reminded the girls that despite their youth, they needed to get used to the harsh reality of the ninja world, where violence and bloodshed were inevitable.
Kushina nodded, recalling the horrors she had witnessed when her homeland, the Land of Whirlpools, was attacked. Mikoto, on the other hand, smiled at Chen, feeling more at ease with his presence.
Once home, Mikoto headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner, while Kushina followed with the intent to help, though her inexperience in domestic tasks soon became evident.
While the girls were busy in the kitchen, Chen withdrew to his room.
There, he activated his Tenseigan, allowing him to see and control every move of Ryō Uchiha, who was still under his control.
His plan was to turn Ryō into a pawn who would attack the Hokage. By having Ryō refine his chakra to the maximum and use it for the attack, Chen hoped to blame Danzo or the Uchiha Clan, generating chaos and unrest in Konoha.
This scheme aimed to divert the attention of Konoha's high leadership away from him and Kushina. This would cause chaos, especially for Danzo or the Uchiha Clan; his only priority was to protect himself and those he cared about.

Five days later…
The night was clear and quiet in Konoha, with the full moon shining over the village. However, this peace was broken when a man dressed as an Anbu burst into the Hokage's office at midnight.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen, was working hard despite the late hour, reviewing a pile of important documents. He looked up cautiously when the intruder entered, not recognizing him immediately.
"Who are you, and what do you want here?" Hiruzen asked distrustfully, scrutinizing the man before him.
The man raised his head, revealing eyes with a three-tomoe Sharingan. "My name is Ryo Uchiha," he declared with a murderous intent in his voice. "I've come to kill you, under orders from Lord Danzo!"
Without further warning, Ryo unleashed a Fire Jutsu, Katon: Gōryūka no Jutsu, directly at Hiruzen.
Hiruzen reacted quickly, forming hand seals to create a thick earth wall that blocked the attack.
The Anbu protecting Hiruzen in secret immediately surrounded Ryo.
But Hiruzen remained confused. How could Danzo be conspiring to attack him? And moreover, how did he possess the Sharingan?
But at that moment, something unexpected happened: the three-tomoe Sharingan in Ryo's eyes began spinning at a dizzying speed.
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became heavy and malevolent, and some of the ANBU, overwhelmed by the overwhelming presence that was forming, dropped their weapons, unable to resist the power emanating from Ryo.
Hiruzen, seeing the three tomoes spinning rapidly, felt that something bad was approaching.
Finally, the three tomoes merged, forming a pattern resembling a crucifix.
As soon as it finished forming, a sinister explosion of Chakra spread throughout the Hokage's mansion.
The ANBU, who were in shock, recovered and took defensive positions around the Hokage.
With wide eyes, Hiruzen immediately recognized the Mangekyō Sharingan, recalling what his master had told him about the power of Madara's Mangekyō and the devastating force of this powerful dojutsu.
"Capture him, don't let him escape!!" Hiruzen shouted anxiously. Quickly, he began forming hand seals and launched the jutsu "Katon: Onidōrō."
The ANBU, following Hiruzen's orders, charged at Ryo with a barrage of kunai, shuriken, and explosive tags.
But then, something surprising happened. A huge skeletal hand of yellow color appeared out of nowhere, easily blocking the attack.
Hiruzen, with sweat on his forehead, felt that the worst was yet to come...
The ANBU continued to attack with more intensity. However, as the projectiles continued to fall, a humanoid skeleton that had formed around Ryo began to transform rapidly.
Under the astonished gaze of Hiruzen and the ANBU.
First, the skeleton finished forming.
Then, this skeleton acquired muscles, tendons, blood, and skin, giving it a more solid and tangible appearance.
Finally, a majestic samurai armor formed around the humanoid, completing the impressive transformation of Susanoo.
Now, the towering golden transparent figure stood thirty meters tall, as large as a small hill, and with a powerful strike, Susanoo smashed the Hokage's office, sending Hiruzen flying through the air.
Susanoo's sinister chakra spread throughout the village of Konoha, awakening the ninjas who were sleeping. Many of them got up, and upon seeing the towering golden figure, looked at each other in confusion and concern.
"What is happening?! Is someone attacking the village?!" they wondered.
One of the ninjas, observing the direction from which the chakra was coming, exclaimed, "That energy seems to be coming from the Hokage's mansion!"
Immediately, countless ninjas began to rush toward the Hokage's residence.
