章 20: Chapter 20
"Lord Hokage, I hope you can keep your promise." Uchiha Setsuna said meaningfully.
Fugaku said with difficulty "Elder Setsuna, since the Hokage has said so in front of everyone, he will definitely not break his promise. Please stop talking with such a tone already."
Kayn's mouth twitched slightly. Uchiha Fugaku is really a blessing for people with low blood pressure.
Unsurprisingly, upon hearing what Fugaku said, Uchiha Setsuna became so angry that he immediately exploded back.
"Sorry to trouble all the clan leaders." After scolding Fugaku, Setsuna quickly said goodbye to the other clan leaders with a pleasant face.
The other clan leaders also bid farewell politely.
Now it has been revealed that Danzo Shimura is indeed plotting something against the Uchiha clan. Solid evidence doesn't even need to be presented. Judging from the situation alone, it is very likely to be true.
Thanks to this meeting, all eyes are now on Hiruzen, Danzo, and the Uchihas. Watching how both parties would deal with this current situation.
In any case, after all that, everyone from the Uchiha Clan sighed in relief and prepared to return.
Kayn on the other hand, simply blended into the crowd in a low-key manner and followed the main group back.
With the unspoken understanding between the two parties, a storm that could have turned Konoha upside down temporarily subsided.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the Uchihas who were going away, with gloomy eyes.
'The Uchiha clan is getting more and more restless. Today they actually brought their entire clan to threaten the village. I can't even think about what they will do in the future!'
...
Returning to the Clan's territory, Kayn discovered a very interesting situation.
Most people were satisfied and their morale was high. The Clan had been enduring the oppression of Konoha for many years, and they were made silent regarding about it. Unable to retort back.
But today... they finally got what they wanted!
On the same matter, as one of the people who led the charge, Kayn has gained massive recognition from the people of the Uchiha Clan. He is like a celebrity now.
A fact that would surely make his future goals much easier to achieve.
Overall, in regard to their current situation, most people reacted positively.
But of course, people are different from each other. Not everyone can be pleased. A small number of people are still worried.
They worry that later, if the truth is finally revealed, and their accusations are actually far from the truth, the Third Hokage might punish them and their entire clan.
However, regardless of what these people thought, Kayn's overall mood finally relaxed a little when he saw everyone smiling happily.
He doesn't know what the future holds, and he's definitely not the heroic type, but he will surely work hard to keep it this way. As much as possible, he will make these people smile.
Cause such a scene only signifies one thing. His safety.
After all those happenings were over, Uchiha Setsuna encouraged everyone with a few words and then let everyone finally go home.
Fugaku also tried to talk with Elder Setsuna but it seems that, after what happened during the meeting, he got nothing from the elder but scolding once again. Leaving him no choice but to simply leave.
"Kayn, the place you live in is quite remote. If you don't mind, you can stay with me for a while."
Kayn's family is painfully ordinary. That's why his house is located on the edge of the territory.
Surely, once Konoha decides to finally take action, the area where his house is will bear the fire of the battlefield first.
Kayn is already aware of this, and that's why, even if Elder Setsuna didn't make the offer, he would find a new place to live either way.
Regardless, moving to the Elder's residence would surely offer a sharp increase in regard to security.
The crisis has not been resolved yet, so it's better to be cautious than not.
"Thank you for your concern, Elder Setsuna. I was just thinking of moving to a new place, you really saved me a lot of trouble."
Uchiha Setsuna stroked his neat goatee and said with a smile "I hope you don't mind me being a nagging old man."
"You are one of the pillars of the clan. I cannot express my admiration for you enough."
"Save that useless flattering for others." The Elder scolded with a smile, but the wrinkles on his face faded a lot. "Anyway, If there's anything you still need at your home, go get it now. If you need any help, just let me know."
"Well, I don't have many clothes so there's not much to pack. You should go home and rest first Elder."
Not long after that, Kayn said his goodbyes and quickly returned to his home. At the same time, he released his shadow clone. The same shadow clones that spent the whole morning, doing nothing but earning exp for his acting and voice skills.
[Acting LV2: 31/1000]
[Voice Skill LV2: 29/1000]
After receiving the exp from his clones, and seeing the exp bar move ever so slightly, Kayn grimaced a little.
"It seems that, for my next plan, I had to increase the level of these two. LVL 2 simply wouldn't cut it anymore"
These two skills, if compared to other skills, would surely be considered trash. But Kayn had to focus on them first because they play an important role currently.
Sure, a Great Fireball Technique might be more powerful and impactful. But during the meeting earlier, had he utilized the Great Fireball Technique instead of the Acting and Voice skills, things right now would've been surely different.
So as much as he wanted to focus and master Ninjutsu as soon as possible, he couldn't because he had to focus on what was important first.
Because currently, time is of the essence.
As mentioned earlier, Kayn doesn't have many things of importance. That's the reason why it only took him less than an hour to pack everything he had in one large bag.
And after doing a couple of checks just to make sure that he finally got everything he needed, he quickly left without any reluctance.
In the first place, he doesn't have any attachment to the house. He only spent a couple of days in it. Even with the memories, such a thing is hard to develop.
Now going to Uchiha Setsuna's residence...
After having lunch, Kayn gently put his bowl down, wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth, and said in a serious tone
"Elder Setsuna, do you know how to go in and out of the village without alerting Konoha."
Uchiha Setsuna stroked his beard and asked, "You want to go out?"
Kayn nodded, he stood up and used the transformation technique to turn into Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He coughed twice and said in a voice heavily resembling the image he's currently wearing "I plan to pay the Daimyo a visit."
Setsuna's pupils shrank, and he asked in a loud voice "Are you trying to kill yourself!?"
Based on how he understood Kayn's action just now, disguising yourself as Hiruzen and trying to assassinate the Daimyo would indeed put a massive blow to their opponent's side.
But a Daimyo, especially the Fire Daimyo, is closely protected. So doing such a plan would be a massive risk.
Kayn, realizing the misunderstanding that took place, shook his head, released his transformation technique, and explained "I am simply going to send a video of Sarutobi Hiruzen's rebellion to the daimyo."
Uchiha Setsuna didn't understand what was happening for a moment.
He could understand each word separately, but when they were put together, he became confused.
What does Sarutobi Hiruzen's rebellion mean?
Kayn explained further...
"Elder Setsuna. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo are colluding with each other, secretly training assassins, intending to rebel, kill the Daimyo, and establish themselves as new kings. Amid their preparation, our Uchiha clan accidentally discovered their horrific plot and risked genocide to report the information to the Daimyo." All of a sudden, Kayne's voice was filled with intense sorrow.
"However, we didn't expect that there would be a traitor in the clan, and the news leaked out! Now Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo are planning to exterminate our clan first!"
After that, Kayn's expression seamlessly returned to normal, as if nothing happened in the first place, and said "Elder Setsuna, what do you think of this script?"
After hearing this, Uchiha Setsuna became speechless.
What does he think about it?
It's... a great plan??
But when it comes to actually carrying it out, he can't help but hesitate. They would be deceiving a Daimyo.
If it is found to be fake, and it will be, the consequences will be too serious.
He stood up suddenly and paced back and forth in the room, looking very deep in thought.
Kayn remained calm and said "Elder Setsuna, since we have decided to fight already, we must be more ruthless, more cunning, and more treacherous than them... It's like playing Shogi! They already made their move, it's only right for us to make ours. Right?"
A mischievous smile then appeared on Kayn's face "... but who said we can't use our biggest move at the very start?"
