Chapter 51

Even though they were somewhat prepared, Kaito's words still caused a stir among the crowd, the intensity of which varied.

Impeaching the clan leader was an event that had never occurred in the history of the Uchiha clan. Now that such an incident was unfolding before their eyes, how could they remain calm?

And Uchiha Fugaku's face didn't look so good either. He had anticipated that this clan meeting would involve him, but he hadn't expected it to be about his impeachment as the clan leader!

Throughout his tenure as clan leader, he believed that even though he may not have been doing an excellent job, at least he had maintained a fragile harmony between the clan and the village.

Furthermore, he had prevented any one faction within the clan from becoming overly dominant, thus preventing the clan from having to lean towards one side.

Such balance, though not foolproof, at least ensured that the clan was not in chaos, and that neither the clan nor the village had seen any disorder!

Kaito's open call for his impeachment left him somewhat at a loss and puzzled as to why he was being impeached. What sort of agreement had they reached?

"Uchiha Kaito, do you even understand what you're saying?"

Uchiha Hirano stood up in anger once again, and this time he had activated his Sharingan!

In his crimson eyes, two tomoe were slowly rotating, and the chakra throughout his body was gathering, as if he was ready to strike.

Not just him, the others who followed Uchiha Fugaku also stood up in anger, and like Hirano, they all activated their Sharingan.

The clan meeting suddenly took on an atmosphere of confrontation. However, in the face of all this, Kaito remained calm.

"Of course I know what I'm saying. I don't need your reminder."

Kaito gently shook his head as he spoke in a moderated tone.

"Put away your Sharingan. Those eyes are nothing special in front of me.

Moreover, this matter is not something you or any of you can participate in. Please sit down."

"Uchiha Kaito, don't think you're all that just because you're talented. Who do you think you are? Are you in a position to critique the clan leader?"

Against expectations, Uchiha Yashiro, standing behind Hirano, spoke up in anger.

Uchiha Yashiro is a captain in the guard department and a staunch supporter of Uchiha Fugaku. Kaito recalled how, in the original story, Yashiro had been sent flying with a kick from Uchiha Itachi.

However, those events had not yet occurred, and Uchiha Yashiro was already making his way towards Kaito.

"Don't think that possessing the three-tomoe Sharingan gives you the right to spout off here. You're just a brat.

I want to see just how formidable you are, whether you have the right to be so bold here!"

As soon as the words fell, Uchiha Yashiro immediately made his move. However, he did not draw any weapon, showing some level of restraint.

However, the fact that he would act in such a place reveals just how reckless this man truly is, causing Kaito to involuntarily furrow his brow.

In an instant, Kaito's eyes turned a deep crimson, and in that same moment, Uchiha Yashiro felt an uncanny power seeping from Kaito's eyes.

"Genjutsu?"

Uchiha Yashiro sneered inwardly. Using a genjutsu on an Uchiha who has activated his Sharingan is decidedly not a wise choice!

Even though Kaito was already a three-tomoe Sharingan user, hastily employing a genjutsu while his opponent had activated his Sharingan.

Then, even if the genjutsu had any effect on him, it would certainly not be too potent, it would even be normal if it had no effect at all!

However, in the next moment, Uchiha Yashiro's expression froze as he felt a sudden dizziness sweep over his mind.

And in his field of view, at this moment, only Kaito's crimson three-tomoe Sharingan remained!

"Thump!"

Just then, a muffled noise suddenly burst in Uchiha Yashiro's ears, and at the same time, he felt a sharp pain shooting through his chest.

This intense pain brought his consciousness back to his body. However, it was also at this moment that he realized his body was flying backwards.

It wasn't until he crashed hard onto the ground that he realized he had been defeated!

"It is not for you to judge whether I am bragging."

Just then, Kaito's voice once again echoed in his ears, still so calm, yet it caused him to grind his teeth in resentment.

"And likewise, you have no right to stand before me and spout big words and threats. I told you this isn't your fight, sit down and behave."

"You..."

Uchiha Yashiro's face twisted hideously. He wanted to say something, but the moment he opened his mouth, waves of intense pain radiated from his chest.

This prevented him from uttering a full sentence, he could only clutch his chest and gasp for breath.

"You bastard!"

Uchiha Hirano could no longer hold back at this moment. He rapidly charged towards Kaito, and immediately aimed a punch at Kaito's chest.

His eyes turned crimson red, his movements incredibly sharp, and at the same time, he did his best to avoid direct eye contact with Kaito.

With Uchiha Yashiro's pitiful state right before his eyes, he certainly wouldn't make the same mistake.

However, to everyone's surprise, this time Kaito stood still without moving, simply watching as Hirano's fist landed on his chest.

"Thump!"

There was another muffled sound, but this time Kaito showed no reaction at all. Because a blue halo had mysteriously appeared in front of his chest.

Obviously, this was chakra, and this field of chakra completely blocked Uchiha Hirano's punch, preventing him from truly hitting Kaito!

"It seems, this 'Chakra Shield' is quite effective."

Kaito silently observed everything before him. Just after he had performed his illusion, he had clearly felt his own chakra invisibly gathering in front of him.

The strength of this chakra shield was high, seemingly proportional to the intensity of his own chakra. This was why Kaito stood still and watched this guy attack.

He wanted to see how the shield would perform against Taijutsu attacks, and the facts proved that the performance of this shield was indeed excellent.

After all, Uchiha Hirano failed to break Kaito's chakra shield, which remained in its original quality and intensity!

"Is this all you've got?" Kaito looked calmly at Uchiha Hirano, and suddenly asked in a soft voice.

Uchiha Hirano's face was extremely ugly, and upon hearing these words, his expression froze even further.

He quickly tried to withdraw his hand, but at that moment, Kaito gripped his hand tightly.

Before he could react, Kaito's knee had already brutally collided with his abdomen.

Uchiha Hirano grimaced in pain, his body involuntarily bending slightly, but at this moment, Kaito's hand began to exert force.

"Crack!"

With a slight twist of his hand, Kaito skillfully dislocated Uchiha Hirano's hand, and then he let go of Hirano's hand, grabbed the guy's throat.

"Did you take what I said for granted?

Or did you really think that you could challenge me?"
