章節 11: Chapter 11
After getting Genno's explanation of the control method of the detonating Explosive array, and also making sure the legitimacy of it, the tension in Kayn's mind relaxed a little.
Just a little.
He knew very well that until he completely dealt with Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, and the people behind them, the shadow of death would always hang over his head!
In regards to Genno's safety, he was secretly transferred to Elder Setsuna's home by Kamakura.
"Senior Genno, please think carefully about what I said. The top leaders of Konoha are your— no, our real enemies. Even though I gave you a couple of threats, please understand that I only did it for the sake of many. We can still cooperate. If you become interested, you can inform Sir Kamakura about it."
Genno is a ninja who is very good at espionage and mechanisms.
Kayn must try to attract all the forces that can be united to increase the chances of winning!
In any case, as the two Seniors left, Kayn stayed and hosted a small party for those who helped him today.
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to help me today. If you need my help in the future, I will definitely do my best to help you!"
Kayn said this, actively owing all of them a favor.
In the first place, Kayne extremely believes in the give-and-take philosophy.
He didn't have much friendship before, but now he does. As long as Kayn can demonstrate his value, they will surely not hesitate to demonstrate their own value unto him.
At least, that's what he likes to believe.
Overall, the meal was a great pleasure for both parties. After saying goodbye to everyone, Kayn walked into a public place, used the transformation technique to change into a new appearance, and then went to Elder Setsuna's house.
However, while on his way, Kayn unexpectedly ran into Fugaku.
His expression was very ugly, his lips were pursed, the muscles on his face were clenched, and there was a layer of gloom between his brows.
Kayn stopped, stood by the wall, and bowed his head to let him pass.
He didn't want Fugaku to notice him too early.
Fugaku was in a bad mood. He glanced at Kayn who was standing by the wall, retracted his gaze, and strode away.
Just an ordinary member of the clan.
Kayn looked at Fugaku's receding figure, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his mood became a little happier.
"It seems that the conflict between Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Setsuna has expanded. I can take this as good news."
In the courtyard, Kayn met the Elder
His brows were twisted together and he stared at the pond with his eyes filled with raging anger.
Seeing Kayne, Uchiha Setsuna said angrily.
"As a clan leader, Fugaku only knows how to compromise blindly. If you give in, you are not a Leader at all!"
Setsuna paused for a second, taking deep breaths, trying to calm his voice. Though the clear disdain still lingers around pretty obviously.
"He is no longer fit to stay in that position."
Just now after they came back, they started a heated discussion.
The two sides have irreconcilable contradictions in their attitudes towards Konoha.
One stands opposed to it, and the other appears to oppose it as well, but likes it better if that wasn't the case at all.
Which doesn't make any difference than siding with the culprits themselves!
"Elder Setsuna, Lord Fugaku has been the Clan Leader for nine years. He has established a strong reputation and has gathered a group of confidants around him. It will be difficult to bring him down, even if the fact that Uchiha Itachi murdered Shisui gets exposed."
Kayn's words calmed Setsuna's anger for a little bit.
Now that the family is facing internal and external troubles. We must focus on the main contradictions and focus on dealing with them as a priority.
To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation.
It's not only the father and son that are in danger, but all the clan members as well.
A unified thought must be formed to establish a united front. Uchiha Fugaku is the clan leader, but he cannot represent everyone!
"Elder Setsuna, please describe what just happened in the conference room."
Uchiha Setsuna is nearly 70 years old, but his memory has not declined much, and he recounted every detail.
After listening to this, Kayn realized that the plan had to be changed and he could not follow the pace of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo anymore.
He thought for a moment and suggested.
"Elder Setsuna, I think we should hold a clan meeting immediately and let ALL clan members participate!"
Uchiha Setsuna reacted quickly, his snow-white brows furrowed, and hesitantly said.
"But some of our clan members are just ordinary people."
Hearing this, Kayn shook his head and said firmly. "That doesn't matter anymore. The clan had already reached a critical moment. Protecting it is not the responsibility of one person or a few groups. Not anymore. It is now the common responsibility of all the members."
Kayn clenched his fists and waved his arms vigorously, sending a powerful signal.
"Each of us must fight for ourselves now. With the situation where our families are potentially endangered, it is everyone's right to defend themselves. It's fight or die. We are the prided members of Uchiha, aren't we? We used to be the wolves! We lead and make the hunt! Why are we acting like scared dogs now?!"
Kayn looks back at the reasons why the Uchiha clan was exterminated.
They did not mobilize the masses.
Not everyone realizes the extreme weight of the situation.
The group led by Uchiha Fugaku treated the coup as a joke, and a small group of people gathered together to hold meetings and complain all day long.
As if this would make the coup successful.
They could not make the same mistake.
The reason why the Uchiha clan has been able to survive for thousands of years is not because of meetings, but because of its powerful military force!
The Sharingan gave the Uchiha clan more than just powerful military strength!
But also an unparalleled war potential!
Even an old man whose half body is about to be buried in the ground has the possibility of being awakened.
So the only thing that Kayn really needed to do in order to have a chance to overcome this was to arouse the dormant war potential of the Uchiha clan.
Us, massacred?
That might have been the case originally. But with him here, such a fact will remain uncertain until they reach the final conclusion.
Besides, that would've been the outcome either way. So if that's going to happen still, then... might as well die fighting.
At least, people can say that we died with honor. Not simply murdered or massacred by one edgy kid.
Uchiha Setsuna stared at Kayn's unwavering eyes in a daze.
In a trance, he vaguely saw the figure of the person he once admired the most overlap with Kayn's image.
Seeing this, a smile curled up on his lips.
"The road to the future belongs to the young generation indeed. But before that, let this old bone of mine, burn the last thorns on your way."
Kayn's passionate and strong words greatly helped Uchiha Setsuna make one quiet decision.
He came back to his senses, his cloudy eyes were immediately replaced by sharp ones.
"You are right. Every member of our tribe must fight for ourselves, our families, and our clan!"
"Kamakura, in my name, immediately broadcast a call to all clan members to gather at the central square," Setsuna ordered.
"Yes, Setsuna-sama," Kamakura said while slightly trembling. He had a premonition.
An unthinkable change is about to happen.
But he knew very well that from the moment Elder Setsuna questioned Shimura Danzo today, all talks would be useless.
But he was not afraid... Excited even.
After giving the order, Uchiha Setsuna looked back and asked solemnly. "Kayn Uchiha, are you ready to step onto the stage?"
Kayn hearing this question immediately knew what it entails.
Actually, he didn't want to come into the sight of Konoha's top brass so early.
Konoha's intelligence system will definitely launch an investigation quickly.
Perhaps it won't be long before his information appears on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk.
And that would be bad. That's why he wanted to avoid such happening if possible.
IF, possible. However, given the current scenario, it seems that he simply has no choice anymore.
At least, not after the Oscar-winning speech/performance he just made a little earlier. That would have been a really awkward situation if he were to say no all of a sudden.
"Elder Setsuna, that's not a stage, that's a battlefield. Regardless..." Kayn, equipping his most resolute expression, gave his answer in a resounding voice.
"I'm ready."
