Yusuke nodded with satisfaction. All the elite ninja within the Uchiha clan had become his most loyal subordinates.
"Summon every member of the clan here, regardless of age or gender. You have one hour." He commanded.
After arriving at the central plaza of the Uchiha compound, Yusuke issued this order to Fugaku, who stood behind him.
"Yes, Lord Yusuke!" Fugaku bowed respectfully.
Though his original personality could see and hear everything through his own body, he was trapped — screaming endlessly within his mind like a caged insect. He could only watch helplessly, unable to speak or act.
An hour later, all Uchiha clan members — those still asleep and the Police Force patrolling outside the village — gathered at the central plaza.
The plaza filled instantly with a sea of people. Young and old, women and children, along with strong ninja — all were present. Yusuke's actions were thorough; he aimed for complete control.
"Lord Yusuke, all members of the Uchiha clan have arrived. We await your orders!" Fugaku announced, leaping forward after taking a headcount. He quickly returned to his master's side.
"Hmm." Yusuke nodded.
After a preliminary assessment, he counted about 1,500 elderly, weak, women, and children. The remaining Uchiha clan members who could be of use numbered around 800.
Yusuke's eyes glowed with an eerie purple light as the radiance of the Six Tomoe Rinnegan illuminated the earth.
Human Path — Heavenly Control Technique!
Second Personality Imprint: Loyal — Target: Selected Targets!
With a single glance of the Six Paths mental imprint, the entire Uchiha clan instantly became Yusuke's most loyal mental servants.
From this moment on, whether old or young, weak or strong, all would follow his lead without question. Unlike how he dealt with the clan's powerful figures by directly erasing their personalities, he only placed an absolute Imprint of loyalty on the rest. In other words, they all shared one trait: absolute loyalty to him.
"You may all disperse now. Go about your business as usual. There will be use for you in the future." Yusuke commanded with a wave of his hand.
"Yes!" Fugaku immediately nodded and dismissed all the clan members.
And just like that, the entire Uchiha clan had become a blade in Yusuke's hand — an incredibly sharp one at that.
After placing so many mental servant imprints simultaneously, he carefully assessed the chakra depletion within his body. About 30% of his Six Paths chakra and mental energy had been consumed. It would take about a day to recover.
Yusuke turned his gaze back to Fugaku and Shisui. Currently, these two individuals represented the peak fighting strength of the Uchiha clan. Although Inabi and Tekka had also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, they hadn't possessed it for very long — not to mention those Uchiha clan members who had awakened it even more recently.
"I didn't expect you would be able to fuse with Hashirama's cells." Yusuke remarked, smiling at Fugaku.
His right arm, torn off earlier by him, had been replaced with a limb made from Hashirama's cells by Orochimaru. After enduring cruel torment, Fugaku's body had barely managed to adapt to this power.
Now, if he were to fully unleash his combat power, he could reach the peak Kage level.
"This was developed jointly by Orochimaru and the person calling himself Shin Uchiha." Fugaku respectfully reported, sharing all the information he possessed.
"Orochimaru and Shin Uchiha. These two are a combination of madman and genius." Yusuke said with a slight nod, "You needn't concern yourselves with their affairs anymore. I'll meet them myself."
He pinched the bridge of his nose. Orochimaru's mind was indeed impressive. If he could be fully utilized, it wouldn't be unfeasible. However, he had no use for him at the moment.
If the opportunity arose to encounter Orochimaru, Yusuke would simply kill him.
"Oh, Lord Yusuke! One more thing!" Fugaku bowed, suddenly remembering something, "Orochimaru has secretly allied with an organization called the Akatsuki. They've collaborated multiple times, though I'm unsure of the specifics."
The Akatsuki? They've already started colluding with Orochimaru?
Yusuke nodded, "I understand. You may all go about your business. Wait for my orders regarding what's next."
He wasn't surprised by the Akatsuki's appearance. After all, he had thrown the entire ninja world into chaos. If the Akatsuki didn't act now, by the time Yusuke unified the ninja world, Obito's Infinite Tsukuyomi plan would never succeed.
It seemed a trip to the Land of Rain was in order when time allowed.
"Shisui, come with me. You're my bodyguard now." Yusuke ordered Shisui, who stood next to Fugaku.
"Yes, Lord Yusuke!" Shisui obeyed instantly.
Now, he had only one conviction: absolute obedience to his master. This would demonstrate his unwavering loyalty.
Yusuke had his reasons for bringing Shisui along. He could serve as a messenger, his strength was formidable, and he knew the village routes better than him. His presence could only be beneficial.
As for whether the Leaf's higher-ups would notice? It didn't matter. Yusuke's next move was to deal with those so-called higher-ups!
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
Early the next morning, Yusuke returned to the Daimyo's reception area.
Tsunade, Kushina, and Mikoto were surprised to see Shisui accompanying him. Their faces betrayed intense astonishment.
"Greetings to the ladies." Shisui said respectfully upon seeing them.
"Huh?!" Tsunade's eyes widened in shock.
Kushina, standing beside her, looked equally confused.
How had she suddenly become a "Lady"? And who was the husband? Yusuke?!
Mikoto's face flushed with intense bashfulness. Yusuke walked over and embraced her, smiling gently.
"There's nothing to be shy about. You are my woman. So naturally, my newly acquired subordinate, Shisui, must address you as 'Lady'."
Hearing his domineering words, Mikoto's blush deepened.
Shisui, on the other hand, didn't find anything unusual about the situation. He thought she is fortunate to become Lord Yusuke's woman.
"Master, where did you go last night? I went to your room but couldn't find you..." Mikoto asked, her face still flushed as she gazed at him intently.
"Last night? I went to have a chat with Fugaku."
Upon hearing this, she tensed momentarily before relaxing. After all, she was now Yusuke's woman. Others were merely outsiders. She had to be wholeheartedly his!
Mikoto's gaze hardened with determination.
"The conversation was quite pleasant." Yusuke smiled again, "However, I didn't sleep well last night. I'm not going anywhere today. Shisui, make arrangements. If anyone comes looking for me, don't let them in, without exception."
Upon hearing this, Shisui immediately responded respectfully, "Yes, Lord Yusuke!"
This scene left Tsunade and Kushina dumbfounded.
Shisui was a powerful figure in the Uchiha clan — in fact, he was essentially the second-in-command. Yet now, he was completely obedient to Yusuke?
What kind of fantastical and convoluted situation was this?
At this moment, Yusuke was being led by Mikoto to the bedroom on the second floor.
"Hmph... This man! He's going to get himself killed over this kind of thing sooner or later!" Tsunade gritted her teeth angrily as she watched the couple's retreating figures.
Kushina, beside her, said softly, "He's... he's as fierce as a wild beast..."
Getting himself killed over this? I'm afraid that's not very realistic.
