" Father"
Ishin Senju screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice breaking apart as he rushed forward with all his strength and speed toward his father's lifeless body lying on the cold ground. Tears poured from his eyes without stopping.
At the exact same moment, Hiroshi Uchiha also dashed forward at full speed toward his own father's fallen body.
Ishin dropped to his knees and pulled the body of his father, Patriarch Toki, into his arms. He held him tightly, as if refusing to let go, as if trying to deny reality itself. His entire body trembled as he cried loudly, his voice filled with pain and disbelief.
"Father! Waaah! Father! No… no…!"
On the other side, Hiroshi Uchiha embraced the body of his father, Patriarch Hayato, in complete silence. No screams. No loud cries. Just quiet tears falling steadily from his eyes.
His head was lowered, his body shaking slightly as he held the corpse tightly, as if afraid it would disappear if he loosened his grip.
One by one, several members from both clans slowly approached the two young men. Their faces were heavy with grief, their eyes filled with tears. A deep silence covered the entire battlefield, thick and suffocating.
Leon stood there, watching them all in silence for a few moments, observing the weight of their loss.
Then he spoke.
"They were truly strong… and honorable warriors."
He paused briefly, then continued in a more serious tone:
"You should be proud of them… and of their sacrifice."
Hiroshi slowly raised his head and looked at Leon, who stood calmly not far away. Tears were still falling from his eyes, but his Sharingan was spinning wildly, filled with intense rage and yet… he said nothing not a single word.
Only a heavy silence, mixed with overwhelming anger and helplessness.
He wanted revenge. That much was clear.
But he also understood something else just as clearly. He was not strong enough not even close.
Ishin, on the other hand, didn't even look up. He only tightened his grip on his father's body, bending completely over it as he continued to cry in deep, painful sorrow.
Then Leon raised his voice slightly, speaking to everyone present:
"In respect for their courage and their strength in battle…"
He paused for a brief moment.
"I will spare all of you today. I will not kill or eliminate any of you in this battle."
The members of both the Senju and the Uchiha clans looked at him with complicated expressions.
There was anger and there was humiliation something they had never felt so deeply before. There was painful helplessness.
And at the same time there was a hidden sense of relief they had survived.
And that alone made them feel even worse about themselves.
Leon continued, his tone becoming sharper:
"But do not think for even a moment that this is the end."
"You will not walk away from this without paying a proper price."
His voice turned firm and cold.
"For your unjustified attack on the Blue Dragon Kingdom."
He then raised his hand in a simple, clear signal.
Immediately, the warriors of the Lone Wolves Unit began to move in an organized manner. They gathered quickly, carefully carrying their wounded and the bodies of those who had fallen in battle.
Their losses were not large but they were real.
Slowly, they began retreating toward their camp.
At the same time, one of the elder members of the Senju clan stepped forward and spoke firmly to Ishin, who was still bent over his father's body.
"Patriarch Ishin gather yourself."
"The entire clan needs you now. You are the leader."
Ishin slowly lifted his head. His eyes were red, swollen, and filled with tears. He looked around at his people then toward Leon.
There was no blind hatred in his gaze no burning desire for revenge only sorrow and anger and painful helplessness.
With the help of his clan members, he lifted his father's body.
Silently, with lowered heads and broken hearts, the Senju clan began preparing to withdraw.
The Uchiha clan did the same they carefully carried the body of their Patriarch, Hayato, grief heavy in their movements.
But just before they could leave leon suddenly spoke again.
"Ah I almost forgot something important."
He raised his hand slightly, extending two fingers in a small, casual motion.
Swoooosh!
In the next instant hayato's eyes were forcefully pulled out from his corpse they flew through the air and stopped, floating calmly above Leon's open palm.
Fwoooosh!
For a brief second, everything froze. Then hiroshi's voice exploded with rage.
"How dare you ?! You bastard! How dare you desecrate my father's body?!"
He was about to rush forward in pure fury but the Second Elder grabbed him immediately, stopping him by force, even though he himself was severely wounded, blood pouring from a deep injury in his chest.
"No, Patriarch! No! Not now! Stop!"
Hiroshi turned toward him, confused and furious.
"But—"
The elder cut him off, coughing blood as he spoke.
"Cough… cough…"
"You are now… the Patriarch of the Uchiha clan."
He looked directly into Hiroshi's eyes and asked firmly:
"What is your first responsibility?"
Hiroshi froze for a moment he turned his head and looked at the members of his clan around him. They were all watching him waiting for him.
The elder's body began to weaken, almost collapsing, so Hiroshi quickly supported him.
Then slowly hiroshi lifted his head again and looked at Leon.
Leon stood there calmly, a confident smile on his face, while his father's eyes floated above his hand. A clear insult and deep humiliation.
Hiroshi closed his eyes for a few long seconds he took a deep breath controlled his rage.
Then he opened them again and at that moment his eyes changed.
The normal Sharingan transformed into a new pattern.
A four-pointed star his Mangekyō Sharingan had awakened a result of deep pain of loss and overwhelming emotion.
He spoke in a cold, steady voice filled with determination:
"You'd better take good care of those eyes."
He paused.
"Because I will take them back no matter what it costs."
Leon burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha! Yes! Yes! That's exactly how it should be!"
He grinned widely, clearly excited.
"I'm really looking forward to that, boy!"
Then he added:
"Show me your strength. And when you truly earn them I'll return them to you."
Hiroshi said nothing more he turned around.
The Uchiha clan followed him step by step, they began their retreat carrying their wounded and their dead whit crushing defeat.
After they left, Leon spoke quietly to himself, a satisfied smile on his face:
"That was truly an enjoyable day. A great battle and satisfying results."
He paused slightly, then his tone shifted:
"Now I think it's time to deal with that annoying insect that has been spying on us this whole time."
His gaze sharpened as he looked toward a hidden direction but just before he could move he suddenly heard his father's voice directly in his ear, giving him clear instructions.
Leon smiled slightly a knowing and obedient smile.
"Alright then… it seems Father will handle it himself."
