Chapter 38

Uchiha Kamakura instinctively wanted to stop Kayn.

Older people fear change more than younger ones.

If the entire Uchiha Clan splits up now, given their current situation, it will do them more harm than good.

But when he was about to act out, in the corner of his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of everyone's expression.

They were paying close attention to every word and sentence that came out of the young Uchiha's mouth.

And sure enough, from Kamakura's point of view, he could see that all of them were somewhat agreeing so far with Kayn's points. 

At this time, if he were to interrupt the boy, even if he is the Elder's confidant, he would be in quite a trouble for sure.

"In these past few days, I have been thinking about a certain question. What does our Clan mean, and what does the Leader mean to the Clan itself?"

Kayn raised a question, but strangely enough, he didn't wait for an answer. 

"The clan... No, our family, is an important support for ordinary people like us to survive in this cruel world. Once an outsider comes and thinks of harming even one of us, they must be prepared to face us all."

"Here, we don't have to wear layers of masks like we do outside. Here, we can show our truest selves. Here, we have the memories of our growth. Here, we have our past, our present, and our future!"

"But, there is someone who planned to ruin it all."

Who? Is probably the first thing that comes to everyone's mind here. Although they are already aware, they still can't help themselves but ask internally. It's like an instinct at this point.

Well, in any era, an army with its own respective ideals and beliefs will always find itself clashing with other armies because of that very difference.

However, all of them could surely agree on one thing. That, Death is a terrible thing.

Any intelligent life is driven by instinct to fear death.

However, when they understand what they are fighting for, that feeling of fear will change into something else.

Once that happens, the moment they get into a fight, they will not be confused, afraid, or panicked anymore. Death is scary, but seasoned veterans, absolutely know that there is something worse than that. 

That's the reason why when everyone heard Kayn say that someone wanted to exterminate the Uchiha clan.

They were very angry initially, but this anger was vague and abstract. And this vagueness, this abstraction has been aroused even more by Kayne.

As a result, they developed another emotion— fear.

But the ninjas here are personally selected by the Elder himself. All of them here are elite ninjas who have experienced life and death on the battlefield countless times already. Fear will not crush them, but will only stir up the cold murderous intent in their hearts, making them more determined and sharp than ever before.

And as the main weapons that Kayn will use for his plans, such conditions are never bad. As horrible as this might sound to be.

In any case, even if anyone here is aware of how Kayn sees all of them, they most likely wouldn't react negatively. In the first place, Kayn is indeed doing all this for the sake of the safety of the Clan.

For such a cause, they wouldn't mind becoming his tools. 

Kayn carefully felt everyone's emotions and spoke again "The clan leader is the head of the clan who protects the common interests of all of us clan members. Such a position doesn't only hold power, but also great responsibility!"

Kayn wanted to drag this out and keep throwing sh*t on Fugaku's name until his name became nothing but a pile of it. But even now, uncertainty still exists. He can't keep his mouth on the loose for much longer. 

Otherwise, something out of the plan might happen.

"Our leader, Fugaku, is unable to lead the clan back to glory. He acts so submissive to the higher-ups of Konoha. As the Leader, he failed his responsibility to the clan..."

Kayn stopped there. If he goes much further, he might accidentally reveal the issue about Itachi. And as much as he wanted to do that now, he could not. At least not yet.

It would be disadvantageous rather than beneficial for them to dismantle the time bomb of a father and son now. 

Moreover, after awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, the two became the de facto combat power ceiling of the Uchiha clan. The Mangekyo Sharingan is THAT special to the entire Uchiha clan.

Very so.

Uchiha Madara and his brother, who both possess a Mangekyo, led the Uchiha clan to the pinnacle of this world during their prime years. If not for the cheat-like existence of Senju Hashirama, they probably have taken over the entire world now.

Kayn knew that he had gained the favor of many clan members during his Oscar-worthy speech back then at the square.

However, these little favors are definitely not as good as the Mangekyo Sharingan!

If they knew that not only the father, Fugaku, but the son Uchiha Itachi, had awakened the Mangekyo as well, according to the characteristics of the Uchiha family, they would immediately gain a large number of people's support for sure.

Besides, in this world, the strong can always gain more tolerance.

What's more, in the eyes of the majority of Clan Members, Itachi is just acting suspiciously. He hasn't done anything YET.

But what about Kayn?

A plain dirt on the side of a road in comparison. As ordinary as one could be.

The difference between his Three Tomoe and the other party's Mangekyo is not little. Not at all.

Before the guillotine strikes, it's obvious as hell who would the masses choose.

One wrong push and everything that Kayn built so far will turn into dust. 

Overall, that's the reason why Kayn rationally prevented the topic from going further. Besides, the matter of Fugaku's absolute incompetence as a leader already remained in everyone's minds.

And that's the most important thing right now.

"The reality of the past tells us that our Clan leader is not worthy of our trust. Not anymore. He failed us! So it's left to us, the ones who truly care, to save our clan. The same reason why he is excluded from this operation right now."

Kayn looked at everyone with a burning gaze "The fact that you are standing here proves your loyalty! You are truly the people who can be trusted!"

With such a level of comparison, a strangely comforting feeling arose in the hearts of everyone here.

It turns out that they are so important!

It turns out that the clan leader is such a person.

It turned out that it was Uchiha Fugaku who betrayed their trust.

Here, Kayn had to sincerely thank Fugaku for being such a good target. If not for him, he would probably have a hard time stirring up this bunch. 

"Since the second Hokage Senju Tobirama, our clan has lost its former glory and has been on a constant decline for more than 45 years!"

"From now on, we will use our own hands to make up for those lost years!"

"It's time for Konoha to see the true power of our Clan!"

Kayn's words ignited everyone's emotions, quickly turning the room into a frenzy. They're like wolves, once they hear a howl, they quickly lose their ability to think rationally and simply succumb to their basic instinct.

And as if driving the final nail in the coffin, Kayn spoke once more with such a forceful and unquestionable attitude.

"And the great revival of our Clan begins... with Shimura Danzo's death."
