"Thank you."
Kakashi said, then turned and left.
Kaito thought for a moment and realized Kakashi was thanking him for not dragging Minato into the situation.
However, he just thought it was cool to summon a bunch of Uchiha, so he decided not to tell him that.
After everyone left, only the Uchiha remained at the scene.
Without outsiders, someone immediately lost their temper.
"Fugaku!" Former police force member Uchiha Hachi angrily grabbed Fugaku by the collar. "Your son is a criminal! He destroyed the entire Uchiha clan!"
Several other Uchiha who died on the night of the massacre surrounded Fugaku, their Sharingan eyes glaring at him.
"We trusted you as our clan leader, so we trusted your son!"
"When that bastard Itachi slaughtered our clan, why didn't you stand up?"
"You must give us an explanation!"
The other Uchiha who died earlier remained silent, watching the confrontation unfold.
Kaito also stayed silent.
This was a price Fugaku had to pay as a clan leader and father.
Fugaku listened to their accusations with a blank expression and suddenly knelt straight down.
He placed his hands together and touched his forehead to the ground.
"I am deeply sorry."
At this point, he could only say these words.
Any explanation would be meaningless, and there was no point in dwelling on past rights and wrongs.
The other Uchiha understood this too. They were all dead now, so no matter how much they hated, what could they do?
"Enough." Standing next to Kaito, Izuna spoke up. "What use is there in complaining any more?"
"Lord Izuna is right."
A man with a ponytail suddenly appeared in front of Izuna, smiling and nodding at Kaito.
"Hello, I am Uchiha Hon."
Izuna seemed in a better mood and patted Hon's shoulder, introducing him: "Hon is also a powerful ninja and often fought alongside my brother."
"Hello, senior," Kaito said politely with a smile.
"Well done, Kaito-kun," Hon said with a cheerful smile, "Even though we are just shells, we still managed to scare those people."
"Hon-senpai, you flatter me. Because of insufficient materials, we could only scare them for now," Kaito said shyly.
"Show-off," Izuna said with disdain, then turned to Hon: "I'm not just for show now. When this kid makes better paper puppets, I'll have him summon you and my brother together."
"Really?" Hon said happily. "Then I look forward to fighting alongside Lord Madara again."
"Really, Kaito-kun, how strong can you make us?" The other eavesdropping Uchiha gathered around, looking expectantly at Kaito.
Kaito confidently replied, "Earlier, I obtained top-grade materials. Once used successfully, you'll be stronger than you were in life."
"Really?"
Kaito nodded affirmatively.
"Great, Kaito-kun, I'm Uchiha Kei. Don't forget to summon me then!"
"I'm Uchiha Sei, and I have a three-tomoe Sharingan!"
"And I'm Uchiha Shu!"
"Uncle Shu, you were old when you died. Just rest in the Pure Land!"
"Yeah, Shu, leave the fighting to us younger ones!"
"Uncle! You only died young!"
"Shu, I'm younger than you now."
"Hmph!"
At this point, Uchiha Hachi also walked over.
"Kaito-kun," he asked, "Where is that Itachi now?"
"Uncle Hachi," Kaito met his gaze, a red flash in his eyes transmitting more information to Hachi.
Hachi closed his eyes and snorted coldly, "He's still acting for Konoha, our Uchiha clan's young leader was won over. The Third Hokage is quite skilled!"
"And Shisui, too. We had high hopes for him, but Konoha guarded against us that much."
"Enough of that," Izuna glanced at him. "Winners write history. We Uchiha lost before, but the future is uncertain."
"Yes, Lord Izuna!" Hachi bowed respectfully. "My father, Uchiha Takuya, once served under you."
"Takuya, huh," Izuna nodded. "Didn't expect that kid to live so long."
"My father never forgot your teachings," Hachi said reverently.
Izuna looked around, and all the Uchiha fell silent under his gaze.
"It seems there are no elders of mine here," Izuna said.
"Perhaps the older spirits are harder to summon," Kaito guessed.
"If there are no elders, then everyone listen to me."
Izuna stepped forward.
"The Uchiha clan has dwindled since the Sage of Six Paths. We are now but ghosts of the past. The future of the Uchiha depends on the living."
He pulled Kaito to his side.
"Kaito-kun had a unique encounter from a young age, gaining a power different from a ninja. I believe he will open a new path for the Uchiha."
"Therefore, I propose that Uchiha Kaito be the new clan leader."
Kaito looked at Izuna speechlessly and whispered, "Izuna-senpai, there are only two of us, Sasuke and me. What's the point of a clan leader?"
"Of course it matters!" Izuna scorned him. "With the title of clan leader, you can legitimately command us spirits!"
"Alright, thank you, Izuna-senpai," Kaito smiled gratefully.
"Any objections?" Izuna loudly asked the others.
They looked at each other.
"No objections."
"Leave it to Kaito-kun!"
"Only Kaito and Sasuke remain, so naturally, Kaito should lead."
"But we are a ninja clan, and the leader isn't a ninja?"
"So what? Strength matters most."
"Alright."
"It seems you have no objections," Izuna nodded. "With Kaito confirmed as clan leader, you must follow his commands and contribute to the Uchiha clan's rise, even in death."
"No problem!"
"Happy to serve the clan leader!"
"Clan leader, command us as you wish!"
This time, everyone was enthusiastic. No one wanted to remain in the Pure Land unaware.
"Thank you, you are all my elders," Kaito said. "I have detailed plans for the Uchiha's future, and Izuna-senpai has approved."
He exchanged a glance with Izuna, who nodded affirmatively to the others.
"Unfortunately, now is not the time to speak," Kaito continued. "I'll send you back to the Pure Land for now. We'll meet again when the time is right."
"Following the clan leader's orders."
Kaito nodded and formed hand seals.
The figures faded, and soul fires left the paper puppets, re-entering the reopened Pure Land passage.
