The Great Elder was very happy. "Good, then I will wait for your good news. As for other matters, just leave them to the people of the clan to handle. I, an old bag of bones, will not participate."
Ryosuke replied. "Rest assured, just wait for my good news."
Yuhi Kurenai was already pregnant. Samui of Kumogakure had experienced it so many times, yet it was unknown whether she was pregnant, but in his house, Mabui and Nii Yugito were definitely pregnant. How could they not be when they were cultivated almost every day?
The Great Elder was in a great mood and walked back to the clan grounds.
On the side, Fugaku did not care about Ryosuke's personal matters but instead had a guess about his resurrection.
As for resurrection ninjutsu, the one he knew of was the Second Hokage's Edo Tensei technique, but that required living people as sacrifices, and the resurrected ones were in an Edo Tensei state.
He could not think of any other methods, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
"Ryosuke, then I will take this unfilial son and the Third Hokage back to the clan, and have people watch over them properly."
Ryosuke naturally agreed. Before that, he also stretched out his palm and returned two orbs to Itachi. "Take good care of these two Mangekyō Sharingan. Although one eye's pupil power has been exhausted, it may still have great use in the future."
Fugaku took the Mangekyō Sharingan and then stored them away properly.
He would definitely never return them to Itachi. If he caused trouble again and harmed the clan, it would lead to another failure, and he himself would not be able to save him again.
"Alright, then I will leave now."
Ryosuke naturally had no mood to continue training while staying in place. After returning home, he found a container, filled it with nutrient solution, and carefully stored it away.
Shisui's pair of eyes would also have great use in the future. Perhaps they could be used to control Orochimaru to explore a painless way to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Or even to explore the secret of awakening the Eternal Mangekyō. Of course, it could also be used to make the other party research how to revive his parents in the future. In truth, he still cared about his parents quite a bit—after all, they looked the same as they did in his original world.

On the other side, Hachiyo gathered all the clan members and went to the orphanage, where he found Yakushi Nono and asked her to provide the detailed location of the Root headquarters, informing her that this was an order from Uchiha Ryosuke.
Yakushi Nono naturally agreed. This orphanage was funded by the Uchiha clan, and she had even had that kind of relationship with Uchiha Ryosuke. If she could help, she certainly would.
After obtaining the detailed location, Hachiyo excitedly headed toward the Police Force Division Building.
This was the central division of the police force for the Ino-Shika-Chō three clans and the Inuzuka clan.
And naturally, the four clan leaders were present here.
Hachiyo informed the four of them about the village-wide search for Shisui's body.
The four of them frowned deeply.
Uchiha Shisui had actually been killed? How was that possible? Who in the village had the ability to kill a genius like Shisui?
Uchiha Shisui was famous in the ninja world and was known as Shunshin no Shisui. Unless they three meticulously devised a strategy, there was no way to defeat him. After all, the Ino-Shika-Chō clans had the strongest intellect, maxed-out control ninjutsu, the Shadow Imitation Technique, the Mind Transfer Technique, and the highly offensive Secret Multi-Size Rolling Impact.
If they carefully planned an attack, they might have a chance against Shisui.
But it wasn't done by their three clans. If Danzo were still alive, it could have been him. But since Danzo was already dead, that was naturally impossible.
Moreover, the search locations were the Root headquarters and the Hokage Building. Could this mean that the Third Hokage was responsible?
But that was absolutely impossible.
They knew that Shisui was a trusted aide of the Third Hokage, who had always placed great trust in him. There was a conspiracy behind this matter. However, Shikaku had a bad feeling in his heart and asked, "Has the identity of Shisui's killer been discovered?"
Hachiyo did not directly answer. "There are no clues yet. Once Shisui's body is found, the truth will come to light. I hope the clan leaders will fully cooperate. After all, Shisui held great importance in the Uchiha clan."
Shikaku nodded. "Alright."
Hachiyo was very satisfied. With Shikaku's agreement, it meant all four clans had agreed. Among these four, Shikaku had the greatest authority.
Then, he immediately headed toward the Hyuga Clan.
The three clan leaders remaining at the scene were confused. The Inuzuka Clan leader was the first to ask, "Are we really going to conduct this search? The Root is currently under the Third Hokage's control, and the Uchiha clan actually wants to search a place controlled by the Hokage. Won't this be inappropriate?"
The other two also showed helpless expressions. After all, they had supported the Third Hokage in the past.
Although they had now joined the Police Force, their relationship with the Third Hokage had already become distant. But if they conducted this search, wouldn't that be equivalent to turning against the Third Hokage?
Their relationship hadn't deteriorated to the point of standing against the Third Hokage yet.
Shikaku said helplessly, "This is just a search. Even if the Third Hokage is displeased, he can't do anything about it. You all haven't forgotten about Uchiha Ryosuke, have you?"
"Moreover, Shisui's death shows that the Uchiha clan is truly anxious. Perhaps they have no intention of attacking the Third Hokage."
However, he also had a bad premonition. Shisui was dead, and the search locations included the Hokage Building. This proved that the Uchiha clan had found some key clues, and those clues likely pointed to the Third Hokage.
Although the Third Hokage and Shisui were close, making it seem unlikely that he was involved…
That was only his speculation. The truth could only be determined after an investigation.

After leaving the Police Force Division, Hachiyo immediately headed to the Hyuga Clan's police sub-division building and informed the Hyuga Clan leader of the situation.
The Hyuga Clan had also established police force divisions, just like the four great clans.
Hearing the news, Hyuga Hiashi was shocked. 'That genius, Shisui, is actually dead?'
"Is this true?"
Although Uchiha Shisui was young, he was a true genius. Even he admired the Uchiha clan for producing such a talent. If not for Uchiha Ryosuke's sudden rise, Shisui would have been the number one genius of both the Uchiha clan and all of Konoha.
His future achievements could have rivaled Namikaze Minato. Even now, he was not weaker than the older generation of strong ninjas.
After all, he had earned the title of Shunshin no Shisui during the Third Shinobi World War. The last person with such a formidable title had been Namikaze Minato. And yet, such a genius had died, and within the village, no less.
Hachiyo solemnly nodded. "There is solid evidence proving his death. I hope the Hyuga Clan will fully assist in finding Shisui's body."
Hiashi was deeply shocked but immediately made a firm promise. "Rest assured, I will mobilize the entire Hyuga Clan to assist."
Hearing this, Hachiyo still felt a little depressed. Although he could take advantage of Shisui's death to completely bring down the Third Hokage, making it a perfect opportunity for the clan to reach the top, Shisui was also a member of the Uchiha clan, and a very talented one at that. This price was truly a bit too great.
Although the two of them had previously had disagreements within the clan, it was all for the good of the clan. Fortunately, Ryosuke had a way to resurrect him.
So, he didn't feel as depressed anymore.
Previously, the Uchiha clan had also delivered the ransom paid by the Hidden Cloud Village as promised. Such a large sum of money was enough for the clan to develop for several years.
By that time, the clan would become even stronger. Following the Uchiha clan, there really was meat to eat.
Although searching those locations was somewhat offensive to the Third Hokage, what could the Third Hokage in the village do now?
This time, they had a justified reason.
Moreover, Shisui had died, and the places being searched were Root and areas under the Hokage's control—this already explained everything.
