Chapter 14: Chapter 14
The characteristics of the Uchiha clan's bloodline allow it to produce more ninjas compared to any other clan.
So every family here would have at least one or two active Shinobi relatives.
Basically, Kayn's words hinted that every family here can be a victim as well. The possibility that their eyes, or one of their family members' eyes, will become someone's collection is not impossible.
At this moment, even the 'Left' faction, who's mostly opposed to the idea of war, found themselves thinking deeply.
"The Konoha's high-ranking officials led by the Third Hokage himself have been deceiving us, hurting us, and exploiting us. All the facts we have gathered led to the idea that they are preparing to even massacre us!"
Massacre. No one reacted. Or at least, with such a serious allegation, everyone became too shocked to even react.
"True. If Elder Setsuna hadn't revealed the true nature of Konoha's high-ranking officials during the meeting earlier, not causing any chaos, letting everything go as planned, we might be celebrating the so-called peace now."
"But that's only given in order to deceive us! To let our guards down. So that when the time has come, they can easily strike us down."
"We wanted to choose peace, but what they wanted from the very beginning was to exterminate our bloodline! Destroy our family! And erase the history of our clan!!!"
Kayn waved his arms vigorously and asked loudly. "Is this truly our fate!?"
The Uchiha clan has an attachment to emotions that is difficult for ordinary people to comprehend.
That's why, simply thinking about the scenario that Kayn was speaking about, chills had started going all over their body.
Then came anger. The anger that had been suppressed to the extreme burst out!
"No!!!"
"Kill them all!!!"
"We want an explanation!!"
When an individual integrates into a group, his or her will and thoughts will be replaced by the will and thoughts of the group.
Kayn, using the momentum made by Setsuna in the beginning, successfully made all the individuals into a 'group'.
Of course, as time goes by, they will naturally separate from this 'group' and calmly think about what Kayn said.
Probably even realizes that some of them don't even know who he is yet. Like, why are they even listening to this one random kid anyway?
But at this very moment, none of that is important. Right now, what's more important is that a collective will was made, and whoever rejects this is their enemy!
Uchiha Fugaku while listening to all of this felt his scalp tingling as he looked at his youngest son, whose face had also turned red due to excessive anger.
He didn't understand how everything turned into such a horrible state in just a few minutes.
"Calm down!" Fugaku disappeared from where he stood, reappeared on the podium, grabbed the megaphone, and shouted. "Everyone, calm down!"
As he ordered, everyone turned silent. Showing Fugaku's great influence on all of them.
However, being able to calm down after all the things that transpired is quite an impossible task.
"Remember. If we choose to go to war with Konoha, our clan might disappear. Don't let hatred blind your eyes..."
If this continues, everything will surely turn back to how it was. And Kayn would simply not let his hard work turn in vain. So he quickly took another loudspeaker and interrupted Fugaku.
"Lord Fugaku, as a clan leader, the first thing you need to do is to safeguard the interests of the clan and all of us!"
Kayn didn't even need to instigate further as someone in the crowd immediately chimed in after he finished his sentence.
"If Shimura Danzo didn't transplant Shisui's eyes, then why didn't he dare to remove the bandages?"
Right now, Fugaku cannot explain how much he wants to put a seal on Kayn's mouth. But he doesn't have any time for that as he quickly turns his focus back on the crowd and explains...
"Everyone, that's not what I meant. It's still unclear whether Danzo Shimura really stole and transplanted Shisui's eyes. If we really take this step, there will really be no turning back for us."
What just transpired, it was not someone that Kayn had arranged in advance.
Uchiha Shisui, to his enemies, is the incarnation of death. His actions are cold and decisive.
But to his people, he was a very gentle and kind person.
He will not be arrogant towards those who are weaker than him just because he is strong.
Whenever he sees someone in need of help, he will stop and lend a helping hand.
If you encounter difficulties while training, you can ask him for advice.
As long as he has time, he will guide you patiently.
He firmly believes in the will of fire and practices it.
Few people could dislike such a good person.
That's why after his death, many became angry about it.
"I will verify this with the Hokage. If it is true that Danzo Shimura murdered Shisui, I will seek justice for him."
These words sound light and soft. Which is somewhat ridiculous.
"Justice?!" Kayn took two steps forward and walked to the edge of the podium. He stared at everyone with a resolute look.
"I just want to tell everyone that peace, fairness, and justice can never be begged for!"
"Whether Shisui was killed by Shimura Danzo, the Root, or by Anbu ninjas, we can go find Sarutobi Hiruzen now and have him confirm it."
"If he can't give us an explanation!"
Kayn angrily threw the loudspeaker to the ground, shattering it, and then stared at everyone. "Then we will give them an explanation in our own way!!"
Kayn's tough attitude won the approval of the vast majority of people, and their voices merged into a sound wave.
Uchiha Fugaku roared with all his strength. "As the clan leader, I order you all to stop right there!"
His words were like a bucket of ice water poured over everyone's heads.
Everyone stopped and turned to look at Fugaku, unable to understand why their clan leader asked them to stop.
Stop, and then stop... How many years had already passed? When will they finally act out?
Is it really like that? That they would just wait until someone put a knife to their necks first before fighting back?
Someone from the crowd asked dissatisfiedly. "Lord Fugaku, are you going to let this matter go as well?"
"Everyone calm down!" Fugaku took a deep breath. "As I said, I will continue to communicate with the Third Hokage about this matter, and I will definitely seek justice for Shisui."
Kayn didn't say anything this time. He simply took out another speaker from who knows where and connected it to the recorder. The conversation that happened in the meeting resounded once again over the square.
At this point, everyone already got the gist about the possible situation they were in. So after hearing the conversation once again, all of them realized how much of a slap in their face it truly was.
But even so, their clan leader still asked for them to stay calm? He also said that he would still continue to communicate with the Hokage, even after all that??
At this moment, everyone, even those from the 'Left' faction was left speechless.
"Mother, why did father stop us?" Sasuke asked aggrievedly.
Uchiha Mikoto sighed and said softly, "Your father has his own ideas. As a family, we must support him unconditionally."
"But... what if father is wrong?"
"Sasuke!" Uchiha Mikoto's face was very serious, which scared Sasuke. "Your father is never wrong!"
Under his mother's reprimanding, Sasuke lowered his head. However, even he, a kid of his age, felt that this shouldn't be the case.
Even though he admired his father very much.
This shouldn't be the case at all.
"Lord Fugaku, the attitude of the Third Hokage towards us is already as obvious as the sun in the sky. You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep."
"And since that is the case, we should then go and make the changes ourselves." Kayn took a deep breath and said firmly.
"Someone among us was touched, so a blood debt it is. And Blood Debt... must be paid with Blood!"
