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

Shuang, what kind of secret does this person have? Ye Lan stopped when he passed by Shuang's body. He sensed that Tiandao and others had already left the place and did not choose to chase him. At this moment, the eye shadow on the corner of Ye Lan's eyes also disappeared.

Looking at Frost's broken body, he couldn't help but frown. He stroked the big knife that was still standing firm, sighed, and put the knife back into the scroll.

He has an inexplicable hostility towards Uchiha, especially the man wearing the Uzumaki mask. Even Akatsuki sent out three people just to kill this man. If I want to ask him clearly, he won't answer, but...

Ye Lan took out a test tube, filled it with some of Shuang's blood, and murmured, "I can't understand it when he's alive, but it can give me a lot of information after he dies."

Just as he had finished cleaning up, there was some noise coming from a distance, and Ye Lan quickly put away the test tube.

A group of Kirigakure Anbu appeared around him. Everyone made an expression of disbelief after seeing Frost's body. After a while, the Anbu that surrounded Ye Lan opened up a passage, and a tall woman wearing a hat with the word "water" printed on it walked over.

She walked to Frost's body and couldn't help but squat down, sighed and said, "Sorry, I'm late."

"Lord Shuang!" Chojuro had already rushed to Shuang's body, unable to hold back his tears.

"Chojuro!" A Kirigakure ninja wearing an eyepatch shouted loudly. Although there was sadness on his face, he did not lose his manners. After all, ninjas from other villages were still present.

"Ye Lan, are you okay?" Asuma also quickly squeezed in. He had always been worried about Ye Lan who was guarding the rear. The power of the Samsara Eye left a deep impression on him. Despite his strength, Ye Lan was suppressed throughout the whole process.

"Phew, it's okay, I just have a few broken bones, I just need to rest." Ye Lan finally relaxed a little. Although he looked fine on the outside, he was actually holding on. After the bombings of Chibaku Tensei and Shinra Tensei, several of his ribs were broken.

"Sasuke, where are they?" Not seeing Sasuke and the others, Ye Lan also asked.

"Lord Mizukage has arranged for them to rest in the hospital. If Sasuke insisted on coming, I would have held him down." After seeing that Ye Lan was not seriously injured, Asuma took out a cigarette and wanted to take a breath.

When he was about to take out the cigarette, a cold gaze was cast at him. It was the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi. Asuma was startled and quickly put the cigarette back.

"You must be Uchiha Ye Lan, I've heard of your name for a long time." Mei Terumi ignored Asuma and walked up to Ye Lan and said.

"Thank you." At this moment Ye Lan finally saw the other person's appearance clearly. She was wearing a dark blue off-shoulder tube top dress, which was somewhat inconsistent with the solemn identity of Mizukage and added a touch of temptation. She had long brown curly hair reaching her ankles. A strand of hair covered her right eye, and the exposed left eye exuded charm.

Ye Lan’s first impression of her was that she didn’t look like a powerful Mizukage, but rather like a mature sister next door.

"This is not the place to talk. Come back to the village with me to check your injuries first." Terumi Mei looked at the handsome guy in front of her with some curiosity. Although he was young, he was unusually mature. The most important thing was that she knew Shuang's strength very well. Even she might lose to this man who was once the confidant of the Fourth Hokage, and Ye Lan did not seem to be seriously injured.

"Wait a minute, this is for you." Ye Lan took out two scrolls. He originally planned to give them to the Mizukage when he saw him.

Mei Terumi stopped and looked at Ye Lan thoughtfully.

"I'll give this ninja sword to you for safekeeping." Ye Lan took out the former thunder sword and the frost-covered big sword that he had just put away from the scroll.

After taking the ninja swords, a trace of pain and helplessness flashed across Terumi Mei's green pupils. In the current Kirigakure, she simply couldn't find a ninja suitable to inherit the two swords. After experiencing that chaos, Kirigakure had lost too many masters.

"Thank you, Jonin Ye Lan, for keeping me. Please express my gratitude to Lord Hokage on my behalf." Mei Terumi bowed slightly to Ye Lan. Ye Lan did not avoid it because he knew that this bow was for Tsunade.

...

"How is your injury?" After a simple treatment, Ye Lan came to Sasuke's ward. As for Asuma, he went to discuss some matters of alliance with Mei Terumi. He didn't need to meet him today. He would go over to go through the motions when everything was almost confirmed and the alliance was to be signed.

"How is the enemy?" Sasuke felt relieved after seeing Ye Lan and asked with a somewhat lonely look.

"Hehe, I'm lucky enough to come back alive..." Ye Lan smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"The enemy is so strong? Even the Mangekyō can't deal with it?" Sasuke had already learned some information about the Mangekyō from Ye Lan, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Do you think he's an ordinary ninja? Those eyes are the same eyes as the legendary Sage of Six Paths, the Samsara Eye."

Of course Sasuke had heard of the legend of the Six Paths Sage, the creator of the Ninja World and also the originator of Chakra. It turned out that these legendary eyes actually existed.

Seeing that Sasuke was a little discouraged, Ye Lan thought for a while and said, "Actually, I feel that Mangekyō is not the upper limit of the Uchiha clan."

Sasuke looked at Ye Lan suddenly, his Sharingan was already activated, and three magatama were slowly rotating.

"Three magatama..." Ye Lan looked into Sasuke's eyes. He didn't expect that after this incident, Sasuke had opened the three magatama. However, this method of opening it was really inexplicably ironic.

Sasuke was a little stunned after hearing this. Ye Lan took out a mirror and said to Sasuke: "It seems that your dead teammates stimulated you to activate the three magatama."

Sasuke was not happy about the three magatama at the moment. He would rather not have the power gained from the death of his teammates.

"Haven't you always wanted to know how to open the Mangekyō?" Ye Lan sighed. He only hoped that Sasuke would not go to extremes in the future. The current Sasuke could not be controlled by him with just a few words.

Seeing that Sasuke, who had been silent all this time, finally responded, Ye Lan continued, "The conditions for opening the Mangekyo are the same as those for opening the Sharingan. It requires strong emotional stimulation. The difference is that if you evolve into three magatama, the stimulation level is one, and the stimulation required for the Mangekyo is ten."

Ten times the pain now? Sasuke thought it was impossible.

"Do you know why there is so little information about the Kaleidoscope in the clan?" Ye Lan walked to the window and looked into the distance. "Because there is a rumor about the Kaleidoscope..."

Sasuke pricked up his ears. He had to remember this information exactly.

"That is to kill the person you love most. Only under such stimulation will the kaleidoscope open."

Sasuke's eyes returned to black, and at that moment his pupils became as small as needles. He said excitedly: "So this is Itachi's purpose in killing the clan?"

"No!" Ye Lan denied it without even thinking, "If Itachi hadn't opened the Mangekyō, it would be impossible for him to deal with so many Uchiha clan members, even a sneak attack would be impossible. Besides, I have always suspected that your father has opened the Mangekyō."

"Dad?" Sasuke didn't expect that he was talking about his father again.

"Yes, Shisui told me about this. Shisui is also a person who opened the Mangekyō. He has always told me that the strength of the clan leader is a little unclear, and he thinks that the other party may have opened these eyes."

"The Uchiha clan concealed the truth about the Mangekyo because they were afraid that some crazy clan members would keep killing their relatives for the power of the Mangekyo." Ye Lan continued to express his opinion, "But in my opinion, no matter how many people are killed simply for the power of the Mangekyo, it will not be able to be opened."

"Sasuke." Ye Lan turned around, and the Sharingan in his eyes had turned into a cross-shaped Mangekyo. "If one day I know that you are harming people around you in order to open the Mangekyo, I will definitely kill you with my own hands."
