Chapter 36

At Uchiha Setsuna's residence. 

After listening to Inahiro, Setsuna had gone silent.

Kayn's frank attitude, although many would surely be offended by it, is very comforting for him. Weirdly enough.

He has been in charge of the Clan for decades, this naturally made him develop a strong desire for power and control.

Even though he's already retired due to old age and has already given the position of the Clan leader to Uchiha Fugaku, he still chooses to retain and holds some power within the clan. The same reason why he put some of his men within Fugaku's circle, to spy on him, even before the current situation happened.

Uchiha Setsuna's overall mentality is like that.

As long as you don't harm the clan, he won't meddle with things... Regardless, he would still want to know what you'll do just in case you plan on doing it.

"Thank you for your hard work." Uchiha Setsuna paused for a second as he stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

"Tomorrow I will mobilize other people to help you protect his safety. In addition, as long as Kayn's request is not excessive, you should do your best to meet it."

"As you command, Elder Setsuna."

"You go back first."

Uchiha Inahiro then took his leave after that.

"Kamakura, starting tomorrow, you will personally monitor Uchiha Itachi to prevent this ungrateful bastard from doing anything stupid."

"Master Setsuna, I think we should stop keeping an eye on Uchiha Itachi."

After hearing that, Setsuna stopped. "Are you worried about alerting the enemy?"

"That's right. Since Kayn didn't mention too much, it means he has other plans. If we monitor Uchiha Itachi now, it would probably do more harm than good."

"As Kayn said, the plan needs time to prepare. Now we already know that Uchiha Itachi betrayed the clan, but Konoha doesn't know that we know it. This is a fact that we can take advantage of."

Hearing the reasoning of his trusted butler, Uchiha Setsuna sighed "It seems that my age is showing up once again. Normally, I would've realized that as well in an instant."

Kayn is a very important individual for Setsuna.

This was because everything he said so far, happened without fail. Forcing the once-strict Elder to believe and yield to whatever he has to say.

"Your mind is just preoccupied with other important things master," Kamakura said with a comforting smile.

"Stop sweet-talking me. Have you drawn up the list already?"

Getting back to the business, Kamakura took out two scrolls.

One is for the 'Fire-escape Plan' mentioned by Kayn, and the other is the list of people who would participate in Danzo's ambush.

"Gather them secretly tomorrow and have Kayn give them a brief ideological mobilization."

To that, Kamakura simply gave a nod as a reply.

The two would then leave and go on with their own respective business for the night after that conversation. 

The next day, once dawn hits, Kayn crawls out of the closet he's hiding in. Albeit with great discomfort.

In any case, today's sequence of actions would still be somewhat the same as yesterday. The only difference is that this time the shadow clone would go on and bring a recording device with him.

They are all waterproof and the appearance is also camouflaged accordingly.

Because he was too tired yesterday, Kayn didn't know the progress of the other two skills. That's why, while eating breakfast, he opened the system panel to check.

[Sharingan(Three-Tomoe): 498/6000]

[Acting LV2:329/1000]

[Voice Skill LV2:320/1000]

The most difficult, the Sharingan, improved the fastest, but this is based on his VERY torturous training. Something that cannot happen all the time.

Meanwhile, although shadowed by Sharingan's result, the acting and voice skills progressed pretty well as well and even showed promising results.

It is really as they said. People who are pushed into a desperate situation can really do almost anything. Cause had this been a normal situation, this kind of thing would've been hard to achieve.

"There are still five days left, we must hurry."

The night of the massacre was, and still is, like a huge rock weighing on Kayn's heart. Before this matter was completely resolved, he couldn't even relax at all. 

For him, every day is a race against time.

On another matter, Uchiha Inahiro miraculously got up two hours today and is even more proactive. A massive contrast to the attitude that he had shown with yesterday's training.

He even said... "Kayn, I understand the situation. So you won't need to make new chapters for now. But, you must remember to make up for me in the future, alright?"

"Haha. Sure, no problem."

Since Kayn already became proficient with the Insight feature yesterday, the one they'll be training today would be different. In short, it's time for the part that Kayn truly wants to learn.

Hypnosis. 

This feature can be regarded as a unique feature of the three tomoe sharingan and is even harder to learn than the other feature.

The original Kayn had no relevant foundation in this technique, so supposedly, this training would take at least two months to finally achieve some kind of proficiency. That's how it is normally, but fortunately, the current Kayn possesses a quick learning ability...

So when the training finally began, thanks to the System and his abundant knowledge from mastering the Insight feature, the learning progress became absurdly fast. So much so that before any of them could even notice it, so much time had already passed.

Once lunch break hit, Uchiha Kamakura suddenly came over, and without even saying any greeting, he quickly handed some kind of scroll to Kayn.

"Kayn, that's the list of names of the people who would participate in our Fire escape and Ambush plans. Lord Setsuna hopes that you can go over and see them for yourself.

Kayn upon hearing this, agreed without hesitation.

Although this would delay his training for a while, this will give him a precious opportunity.

An opportunity to know if some rats managed to sneak and mix in among them.

Right now, in this entire village, none could probably detect someone's facade as good as him. With his Acting and Voice skills nearing Lvl 3, no lies would remain undetectable within his presence.

Of course, rats are not the only ones he's planning to check out but his possible future 'allies' as well. Given that these people agreed to join in on the plan, only means that these people possess the right mindset.

The kind of mindset that Kayn could easily manipulat- get along with.

In any case, not long after that, the three of them used transformation techniques to disguise themselves and then proceeded to leave through an inconspicuous little door somewhere around the house.

After many twists and turns, they finally arrived at their destination. Which, seeing from the inside, looks to be some kind of basement.

There were people in green vests standing inside, already there in advance. One quick look is all it takes to confirm that there were 11 of them in total.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Kayn's eyes narrowed because while scanning the group, he noticed that two people among them looked somewhat familiar.

After carefully searching his memory, he finally remembered who these two were.

One is Uchiha Yashiro, and the other is Uchiha Tekka.

This very information puts a smile on Kayn's face. 

Why? Because these very same people are supposedly, closely related to Fugaku. He even thought that these two would be among those who he had to face in the future. 

Turns out that they were Elder Setsuna's rats all along.

"Heh. This will be very interesting."
