Chapter 12: Chapter 12
Uchiha Setsuna smiled broadly.
Afterward, while there was still time, Kayn started explaining their supposedly new plan.
While this was happening, Uchiha Setsuna was on the side checking for deficiencies and filling them in, making the plan even more perfect.
"Elder Setsuna, what we need to do first is to wake up most of the clan members and make them face the reality we are in. And since I have no capabilities to do that, I'm gonna have to depend on you for this later."
Uchiha Setsuna stroked his neatly trimmed goatee and nodded slightly.
Following the order of Elder Uchiha Setsuna, all members of the clan, regardless of gender, age, or status, must gather at the central square immediately to hold a clan meeting.
Uchiha Kamakura is very efficient in his work.
Soon, a broadcast with a crackling sound of electricity rang out in the entire Uchiha clan's territory.
"Emergency notice, emergency notice. This is a matter of utmost urgency. Everyone is required to head to the central square immediately! A Clan Meeting will happen."
The announcement was repeated three times to ensure that everyone could hear it.
The Anbu who were monitoring the Uchiha clan felt something was wrong and passed the information back as quickly as possible.
Fugaku had just returned home and hadn't even sat down yet when he heard the radio. After listening to the content, his heart sank.
In the morning, Elder Setsuna suddenly attacked and interrogated Shimura Danzo, which intensified the conflict again.
Now emergency notices are being issued continuously via radio, asking the entire clan to gather together.
"What on earth does Elder Setsuna want to do?! Doesn't he know that a conflict with Konoha will only destroy the clan?!" Uchiha Fugaku's face was extremely gloomy.
He tried his best to mediate between his family and the village, and finally saw the dawn of peace, but it was destroyed by an old antique!
"Dear, what happened?" Uchiha Mikoto, wearing an apron, put down the spoon, walked out of the kitchen, and asked softly.
Looking at his wife, Fugaku quickly eased up his expression and forced out a smile "Nothing. Go get Itachi, we should leave."
"But... Itachi just left. Should we go and call him to join us?"
Fugaku's eyes flashed with a complicated look, and after two seconds of silence, he slowly said. "No need, Itachi has already grown up and can make his own decisions."
Mikoto nodded lightly.
"Where's Sasuke?"
Mikoto then turned around, smiled gently, and waved behind the door.
"Oh. Sasuke! It's time for us to go."
Uchiha Sasuke's head popped out of the door. In front of his father, he acted like a little adult and walked calmly to his mother.
"Mom, I'm not a child anymore." He dodged Mikoto's outstretched hand and muttered softly.
He wanted his father to see him grow up.
He also wanted to be like his brother, to be praised by his father, and to be the pride of everyone.
Mikoto covered her mouth and chuckled: "Yes, yes, our Sasuke is a little man."
Because of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Uchiha clan moved from the prosperous area of Konoha to a remote corner where even dogs don't go.
Although there is more land here, most people will not be happy about it.
It's like you have a valuable property in the city center, but you are forced to move to the wilderness.
I guess no one can be happy except children who are still ignorant about the world.
But it's not without its benefits.
For example, thanks to having more land, they managed to open up a large square, and build even more training grounds.
People should always be optimistic.
In less than half an hour, the square was full of people.
There were elderly people with gray hair, young boys with childish looks, and even infants who were brought to the scene.
Both Ninjas and Ordinary people.
Everyone is mixed together, even the "Left" and "Right" factions that used to be clearly distinguished are blending well together.
Well, everyone is behaving differently because this is a Clan meeting. An occasion that differs greatly from the normal meeting they used to have daily.
In the long history of the Uchiha clan, there were only a few times when clan meetings were held.
Each time, it concerns a very important topic such as the safety of the clan itself.
A happy clan meeting has yet to happen, not even once in the thousand years that the Uchiha Clan existed.
Everyone was discussing in low voices, some were anxious, some were nervous, and some were excited. Their expressions were all different.
Looking at the current scene, one fact was silently made official. No one can even deny it at this point.
Kayn really outdid himself here. Since the very beginning, he really chose nothing but the best solution for the current situation he's in.
After Uchiha Madara rebelled and left the village, Uchiha Setsuna was in charge of the family until Uchiha Fugaku was appointed as the new head of the clan, and then he retired behind the scenes.
Over the decades, he has accumulated a lot of intangible wealth.
Even though Uchiha Setsuna has been in retirement for nearly ten years, he still has a high prestige in the family!
So when the broadcast sounded, everyone followed his call and came to the square.
As everyone was anxiously waiting, Uchiha Setsuna arrived.
The crowd spontaneously moved to the sides, leaving a passage wide for two people.
Everyone looked at the young man following Uchiha Setsuna with curiosity.
Some didn't know him, but many people recognized him for sure.
Well, as much as Kayn himself has been so nonchalant about it, his current body does possess a pretty good overall appearance. Making him slightly stand out wherever he goes.
Not even mention that this is based on Uchiha standards, a clan full of pretty faces. So the fact that he still stands out despite that fact really tells something.
In any case, Uchiha Fugaku was also looking at Kayn. For some reason, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity from him.
But soon, he put this doubt behind him and stared at Uchiha Setsuna's old face.
"Elder Setsuna, what exactly do you want to do? Don't you know that doing this will only put the clan in grave danger?" Fugaku muttered in a low voice
Indeed, what does Uchiha Setsuna plan to do?
A question that everyone here would surely like to know the answer to.
But if the man himself heard such a question, his answer would definitely be brief.
In the past, he chose to retire for the future of his Clan.
Now, he will stand up again for the same reason.
"Kayn, how does it feel to be the center of attention?" Uchiha Setsuna asked in a low voice.
"I'm sh*tting bricks!"
That's what Kayn thought to himself. But of course, there's no way he could say such crude language out loud.
"Very nervous."
Gaze has weight.
It was not a good feeling to be stared at by so many people. What was even worse was that he had to give a speech on the stage later!
It's... difficult.
In his previous life, he was just your run-off-the-mill writer.
From school to graduation, he has always been a marginalized and invisible person and has never hosted any big events.
And all of sudden... he's here now.
But he has no choice. He was now pushed to the edge of the cliff, and taking a step back would be into the abyss.
Even cornered rats bite!
He had no choice but to move forward, and stride.
"I don't feel any nervousness from you, which means you are very suitable for it. You will get used to it in the future." A kind smile appeared on Uchiha Setsuna's cold face.
Soon, the smile disappeared.
Uchiha Setsuna, with mixed emotions, stood on the podium. His hoarse voice could be heard through the loudspeaker.
He wants to go on stage, use himself as firewood, turn himself into a torch, and light up the fog ahead for his family.
The rest of the road ahead is up to you.
"Everyone, I'll make the long story short..." Setsuna paused for a second as he stare at the countless people in front of him.
Before speaking in a solemn yet powerful voice.
"I'm sorry, the results of the peace talks this morning were not ideal."
