I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

"How did it get like this?"

In the dark cave Itachi raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a man wearing a whirlpool mask coming into the cave, his voice was low and hoarse.

"I met an unexpected person." Kisame went out to buy supplies, leaving Itachi alone in the cave. He looked at the man in front of him who claimed to be Uchiha Madara and said.

"Unexpected?" Obito narrowed his eyes under the mask. He couldn't imagine who in Konoha could make Itachi so embarrassed.

"Ahem...Uchiha Ye Lan, he is not dead and has returned to Konoha." Itachi said with a cough.

Obito had never met Ye Lan, he only knew that he was Shisui's younger brother, so he didn't pay too much attention to anything else, he just looked at Itachi with some curiosity.

"He has also opened his Mangekyō Sharingan, and his Mangekyō has some restraint on me..."

Hearing that Ye Lan also possessed the Mangekyō, Obito's narrowed eyes widened a bit and he couldn't help but ask, "What is his Mangekyō ability?"

"I don't know his name and specific abilities yet, but one of his eyes can see through the opponent's weaknesses, which made my Tsukuyomi ineffective. The other eye can perfectly control chakra. Ye Lan can release ninjutsu without making hand seals, and can cover his entire body with wind jutsu." Itachi analyzed Ye Lan's Mangekyō ability in detail after just one fight.

"It seems that the Uchiha clan has a pretty good younger generation again..." Obito, who has been playing the role of Madara, said in the tone of an elder.

"And Ye Lan, who was surrounded by wind jutsu, was very fast. I couldn't hit him at all using Amaterasu. Although I have never seen the Raikage, who is known as the fastest in the ninja world, I think his speed will not be slower than that of the Raikage." Itachi continued to add.

It's a very tricky ability. If Obito fights Ye Lan, as long as Ye Lan uses this ability, Obito can't get close to him at all, and Kamui can't do anything to him. Fortunately, Ye Lan only has the Mangekyō, not the Eternal Eye. Even Shisui's body and White Zetsu haven't been found, let alone his eyes. It's not too late for Obito to turn to the front after Ye Lan's Mangekyō is overused.

"I didn't expect that Shisui's brother didn't die in the mission." After Obito left Itachi, a half-black and half-white humanoid creature emerged from the ground beside him. It was the Black and White Zetsu.

"I can only say that he is worthy of being Shisui's younger brother. He has also opened the Mangekyō and his ability is very tricky." Obito responded. He did not approve of Itachi's going to Konoha this time because the Tailed Beast Plan had not been fully implemented yet and it felt too hasty. However, the information he brought this time was still very important to Obito.

"I don't know if he will become a variable in the plan. You have to be careful, Obito." Black Zetsu said sinisterly.

"Don't worry about Uchiha Yelan for now, carry out the plan as usual. Judging from his attitude, he and Itachi will have a fight." Obito's exposed Sharingan slowly transformed into a shuriken. "Also, I told you not to mention that name. My name is Uchiha Madara now."

"Yes, Lord Madara." Black Zetsu chuckled and disappeared on the spot with Obito.

...

Ye Lan opened his eyes again and frowned. It was too difficult. The progress was too slow. Ever since Itachi left, Ye Lan had been practicing natural energy. This energy was not as easy to control as chakra. It was very violent and difficult to control. Once out of control, it would cause the risk of petrification of his skin. Ye Lan could only adapt slowly.

"Brother Ye Lan!" Sakura ran over in a hurry, "Naruto brought Lady Tsunade back, and he said he was going to treat Kakashi and Rock Lee now!"

Has Tsunade returned to the village? Ye Lan then followed Sakura to the Konoha Hospital.

Just before arriving at Kakashi's hospital room, I heard a young woman's voice.

"You were brought down like this by two little thieves, Kakashi. I used to think you were a genius."

When Ye Lan and the others entered the ward, they saw a young woman in a green robe and with blonde twin ponytails scolding Kakashi.

"I'm so sorry, Lady Tsunade." Kakashi said with his eyes drooping, very ashamed.

She is Lady Tsunade, so beautiful. This was Sakura's first impression of Tsunade.

Tsunade turned around and saw Ye Lan and Sakura, then her eyes stayed on Ye Lan.

"You must be Uchiha Ye Lan, right? I heard from Jiraiya that you defeated Orochimaru during the Chunin Exams, and last time you defeated those two thieves. I didn't expect that after I left the village, another genius like you would appear in the Uchiha clan."

"Thank you for the compliment, Lady Tsunade. These are what I should do as a Konoha ninja." Ye Lan knew that the woman in front of him was about to take office as the Fifth Hokage and would also be his superior in the future, so he bowed slightly.

"You don't have to be so restrained. I'm different from the Sandaime. I don't know much about the Uchiha clan and I don't have any opinion on it. You don't have to think too much about it." Tsunade waved her hand casually and then left the ward. She still had to go see Xiao Li.

Ye Lan did not leave with Sakura and the others but stayed in Kakashi's ward and looked at Kakashi who was still lying on the hospital bed.

"Are you completely well now?"

"Almost. Now you will be fully recovered after a day or two of rest. I can only say that you are worthy of being the Hokage." Kakashi said, "I heard from Gai that you also fought with Itachi, and the noise you made in the end scared the whole Konoha."

“Is it that exaggerated?” Ye Lan didn’t seem to care too much. He sat casually aside and picked up an apple to peel it.

"It would be abnormal if it wasn't exaggerated... That kind of ninjutsu is not something that ordinary ninjas can understand." Kakashi already felt some pressure. He didn't expect that these ninjas who were much younger than him were so exaggerated in their strength. It seemed that he would have to practice hard after his body fully recovered.

"In the end, the itachi still ran away." Ye Lan peeled the apple and started eating it.

"You're not polite at all." Kakashi felt helpless when he saw Ye Lan's look, even though he was the patient.

"I've been looking after your students for so long, and you've never even treated me to a meal. What's wrong with eating your apple?" Ye Lan glanced at Kakashi, which made him feel a little guilty.

"Well... let's not talk too much. I plan to apply to Lady Tsunade to let Sasuke become a Chunin." Kakashi changed the previous topic and turned to talk about Sasuke.

"Sasuke is strong enough. Let him perform some more difficult missions to broaden his horizons."

Kakashi: "After Lady Tsunade inherits the position of Hokage, the village will probably be busy again. I heard from Gai that there are already a lot of tasks piled up in the village. You may be able to lead a team to carry them out then."

Then the two chatted about things in the village for a while. After seeing that Kakashi didn't have any major problems, Ye Lan got up and said goodbye.
