Chapter 2

For safety reasons, Kayn did not go too far and trained near the Clan's territory.

Perhaps because everyone sensed the brewing storm, it became very quiet here.

There was no one around, so Kayn could practice without any worries.

The first is the seal.

This is one of the basic skills of a ninja.

There are twelve Ninja Seals.

At first, he was still a little unfamiliar, but after practicing for nearly an hour, he managed to recover to a considerably normal level.

Well, performing three hand-sign in a second, is already considered satisfactory. At least for Kayne, it already is.

Experience points +15.

[Seal LV2:185/300]

"My seal-making speed is decent right now, but in actual combat... I need to work hard to improve it."

"In addition, the experience gained for different skills are also different."

The Sharingan was activated for half an hour, and the experience value he earned for that is pretty low.

Initially, he thought that it was the normal rate.

But seeing that, for the same amount of time, the experience points he gained from the seals are as much more, he already surmised that his initial thought was wrong.

"Is it the difficulty of the exercises or other factors that cause such a significant gap?"

Kayn kept this question in mind and began to experiment with other ninjutsu.

Starting with the Great Fireball Technique.

—fwoo!

The next moment, all of a sudden, a ball of fire with a diameter of 1 meter flew across the area and then burn through the lake, emitting wisps of white smoke.

Amidst the water, the blazing flames kept raging around, it only stopped when Kayn finally stopped the supply of chakra, making the flames dissipate instantly.

+1.1 exp

Actually, techniques such as the Great Fireball would take at least a little longer to cast. At least that's how it is normally.

But thanks to his Great Fireball being LVL 3, it allows Kayn to reduce the seal-making time and cast it much faster than normal.

"It seems that the improvement of Ninjutsu level will bring potential bonuses in other aspects."

In actual combat, the speed of forming a sign can sometimes determine the outcome of a battle.

So the prospect of being able to cast a technique instantly in the future, without performing all the necessary hand signs is truly a joyous occasion.

"Alright, calm down."

Kayn chuckles and mutters to himself as he takes a deep breath.

As much as he wanted to do nothing but keep performing techniques all day, he could not.

Besides, he has an "idea" that needs to be verified first. Cause if it turns out to be true, then this will truly give him a massive boost.

This idea of his is pretty simple actually. It is the thought of... Can the shadow clone also gain experience points for him?

Not waiting any longer, Kayn summoned a shadow clone.

—poof!

With a puff of smoke, a shadow clone with a similar appearance appeared in front of him.

Then, after that, he gave the clone an order to perform some techniques and actions that would normally gain him some exp.

Which is an order the Shadow clone followed without any hesitation.

After the Clone did what he was ordered to do, Kayne stared at the experience bar intently.

But, to his immediate disappointment, the experience value did not change.

Kayn tried to give the same order a couple of times without giving up. Unfortunately, the progress of the experience bar remains unchanged.

But then, another idea dawned on him.

"Should I dismiss the shadow clone first?"

Kayn did just that, and as the chakra returned to his body paired with the clone's memories.

—poof!

—ding!

The value of his exp bar changed!

[Seal LV2: 186.5/300]

"Hmm... so the shadow clone can only gain 1/10 of the original experience value."

This number is very low, but Kayn is not disappointed.

A cheat + A small cheat, this is basically how he sees this entire situation.

At the end of the day, the rate doesn't really matter. Besides, the number of shadow clones can be increased.

The only thing to note is how to avoid the memory shock caused by multiple shadow clones after they are released.

Anyways, right after this, he checked the time. Seeing that he still had some left, he then tried other ninjutsu one by one.

During the continuous training, the familiar feeling of strangeness throughout his body quickly disappeared.

However, Kayn did not spend the rest of his time on pure training.

It is certainly important, but it cannot produce miracles in a very short period of time.

If you want to get past the wall, breaking through it is not always the best answer. Sometimes, you have to find another way!

After returning home, Kayn began to take action.

Thanks to him doing lots of side jobs in the past, he acquired level 1 Voice and Acting skills...

Once the night hits, he leaves two clones at home to practice his voice and acting skills.

He ate a quick bite at a small shop on the street, and after filling his stomach, he headed towards the Naka Shrine.

Tonight is a meeting day...

Meetings are usually boring, but it's very important to Kayn

At 7 in the evening, the empty shrine was gradually filled with people, and Kayne quickly found himself a corner to sit on.

The others, on the other hand, gathered in twos and threes, forming small groups and talk a lot.

But, looking closely, one will notice that they are actually divided into two factions.

One on the 'Left faction' and one on the 'Right faction'.

"When will they give us an explanation about Shisui's death?!"

"After the Nine-Tails attack, our clan has been suppressed by Konoha. I think Konoha has never regarded us as their people!"

"There was no Ninja World War in which we didn't fight on the battlefield. Many of our clansmen died, but what did we gain?"

"That's right, we are worthy of Konoha, but Konoha is not worthy of us!"

"Alright, stop talking, the Third Hokage also has his difficulties."

"I firmly believe that the situation of our clan has nothing to do with the Third Hokage. He must have been deceived by other high-ranking officials!"

"We need to stay calm and not act impulsively. Violence cannot solve the problem."

The quarrel was incessant, it almost escalated into a full-blown fist fight.

Kayn looked at all this and shook his head.

The Uchiha clan is strong with military strength, but the way the Sharingan evolved is too brutal.

Every evolution will have a strong negative impact on the mind, distorting it entirely as a result.

And the stimulation required for each evolution is more extreme than the previous one.

In this way, when the Mangekyo Sharingan evolved, even if one doesn't become a madman from it, his or her thinking circuit will be surely different from that of ordinary people.

"But the good news is that I now had an idea of which side is more likely to be of help to me. Which is good for my plan."

Just in time before these people were to go for an all-time Battle Royale, Uchiha Fugaku and his beloved son walked into the shrine one after another.

Making everyone stay still.

The expressions of the two were exactly the same, both had stern faces and no expression.

The difference is that Uchiha Itachi exudes an aura that keeps strangers away.

It was as if the world owed him hundreds of millions.

Interestingly, both sides chose to stay away from him silently.

In an instant, there was no one near where Itachi was sitting, leaving a circle of empty space.

Behind him was an old man with a haggard appearance and white hair.

According to his memory, he is one of the elders of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Setsuna.

An antique that has survived from the time of Uchiha Madara.

Before Fugaku succeeded as the patriarch, the Clan was always managed by him.

After the Third World War, he was the one who appointed Fugaku as the new clan leader.

Kayn noticed that Uchiha Setsuna didn't even look at Itachi, but walked straight past him as if he was very dissatisfied with him

Fugaku seemed not to notice this and simply walked to the front without hesitation, raised his hands, and pressed down.

A simple gesture that made the entire shrine suddenly quiet.

All eyes were on him.

"Everyone, I came here today to announce that, I have decided to go to the Hokage's office and ask everyone there for an explanation."

All eyes were on him.

"I know that lots of you have concerns. So we will try to settle this first with words. But..."

Fugaku paused, glancing at the people in front of him, the expression on his face became solemn. Regardless, his tone remained powerful.

"... If they don't give us an explanation, then we will get the answer in our own way!"

"Ohh!!"

The crowds were visibly excited to hear that.

In their opinion, Fugaku has finally made up his mind to communicate with Konoha in the Uchiha way.

"That's great. Lord Fugaku will definitely work with Lord Hokage to find a way to resolve the conflict between the family and the village." The 'Left' breathed a sigh of relief.

Both sides disliked each other, but both were satisfied with what Fugaku said.

While Fugaku was speaking, Kayn lowered his eyelids, quietly opened his Sharingan, and carefully observed Uchiha Setsuna's expression.

He noticed that when Fugaku was saying the first sentence, Uchiha Setsuna pursed his lower lip and his nostrils twitched slightly.

This micro expression shows dissatisfaction!

Kayn's brain raced.

Indeed. Uchiha Setsuna is also a member of the 'Right' side. He has always hoped to take back sovereignty from Konoha, that's how it is always. And Fugaku, who had previously been tolerant of Konoha's suppression and tried to do nothing but make peace, left him visibly dissatisfied.

But when Fugaku said that he would use the Uchiha clan's way to ask for an explanation, Uchiha Setsuna's stern expression eased a little, and nodded slightly.

But that did little to ease up his overall mood.

Now that the family's genius ninja Uchiha Shisui has died, Fugaku is still thinking about solving the problem through communication.

"It would be a miracle if he is satisfied."

Kayn shook his head inwardly after seeing this.

"Using the Uchiha clan's way huh? If I didn't know what would happen later, I would have believed you as well."

"Fugaku is indeed as unreliable as his son. Setsuna is a good candidate for cooperation."

Uchiha Setsuna has been in charge of the family for decades and has a high prestige. He would be the ultimate key.

...

Not long after, Fugaku and the others left the shrine.

The right and left factions who disliked each other also went their separate ways.

After the show, Kayn found a public toilet, changed his appearance inside, and walked out leisurely.

He deliberately took a detour and released the Shadow Clone Technique near his home.

The shadow clone returned with memories in an instant.

+5! Exp

+6! Exp

[Voice Skills LV1-LV2: 0/300]

[Acting Skill LV1~LV2: 2/300]

A lot of relevant skills and knowledge have emerged his my mind, and he has a new understanding of these two skills now.

Seeing this put a smile on Kayn's mouth before he turned around and left. Not wasting any more time.

Direction, directly pointing to Uchiha Setsuna's location.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous.

Whether he lives or dies will depend on the outcome of tonight's conversation.

The tension oppressed his brain.

Some people will be overwhelmed by negative emotions, while others can quickly calm down and perform beyond their normal level.

Kayn is thankfully, on the latter.

He was looking forward to the upcoming meeting.

Whether to turn the tide or to flee to the end of this world, it all depends on this one move!
