Chapter 3

"Who is it?!" came a vigilant voice from behind the door.

The voice sounded a little old, but the experience behind it is apparent.

He is Uchiha Setsuna's butler and part-time bodyguard.

Kayn lowered his voice and answered briefly and forcefully.

"I am Kayn Uchiha, and I have something important to discuss with the elder."

"Kayn? Uchiha??"

The butler behind the door searched his thoughts and it didn't take him that long before a man with a pretty memorable appearance and possessing a three Tomoe to appear in his mind.

These combined facts allowed the butler to make an immediate decision.

"The elder has been working hard for the clan these days and has gone to bed already. Let's do it another day."

An immediate rejection. Kayne already expected this. So before the butler could even finish talking...

"The clan is in danger! I hold crucial information in my hands that concerns the safety of our clan!"

"... Besides, I have been under surveillance by the Anbu, and within two days I might be forced to commit suicide like Uchiha Shisui."

"... Please, I need to inform the elder of this."

Kayn spoke very quickly, but his words were very clear.

Hidden beneath the clarity lies tension and fear that is difficult for ordinary people to perceive.

Little tips brought by his very own LVL 2 Voice Skills.

It worked well in this dark environment.

Create a sense of urgency without making it difficult for people to hear what is being said.

Even better, he made the butler behind the door hear the hidden uneasiness.

Now, probably because of the current situation within the Clan, Kayn didn't have a hard time convincing the person behind the door.

As a close confidant of Uchiha Setsuna, he could more intuitively feel how dangerous the current situation is, and what Kayne said is not too far from reality.

If something were to actually happen in relation to the boy's words, then it could be said that it's within everyone's expectation.

The door was opened a little, just enough for one person to enter. The butler looked around and made sure no one was there, then asked Kayn to come in first and wait.

Suddenly, Kayn's heart rose to his throat.

—Squeak

"You are not Kayn Uchiha, who are you?!" The butler raised the lantern in his hand, used the candlelight to see the appearance of the person, and shouted in surprise.

"P— Please calm yourself. I have an explanation for this."

Kayn said, canceling the transformation technique and opening his Sharingan to prove his identity.

"I've been targeted. Only by using the transformation technique can I temporarily avoid their pursuit."

This action further proves that Kayn is telling the truth.

"A— alright. Wait here first, don't move around. I'll go and report to the elder. Though, I can't guarantee whether the elders will see you or not."

Kayn's eyelids twitched. Such uncertainty is too costly for him right now. So he quickly called out to the butler and asked...

"May I ask for your name, sir?"

"Hmm? Oh. It's, Uchiha Kamakura."

Kayn nodded and then said anxiously.

"I can feel the danger approaching. There is not much time left for me and the clan. I will leave everything to Lord Kamakura to convince the elder. Please..."

In the dark environment, Kayn constantly aroused Kamakura's sense of crisis and responsibility through voice and content.

Only when it concerns their own vital interests, will both parties work hard and take necessary action.

That's why, In response, Uchiha Kamakura nodded "... Alright!" Before leaving.

Kayn then stayed where he was and waited.

Now, he already tried and done the best of his ability. If it doesn't work still... Well, he has no more choice but to take the risky measures.

"Setsuna-sama, there is a ninja named Kayn Uchiha who wants to see you. He said that it is related to the safety of the clan."

Uchiha Setsuna, who had just laid down, closed his eyes, ready to let the butler send him away.

He was tired of hearing things like this.

"Kamakura, as you get older, has your judgment grown old as well?"

Kamakura sensed the impatience in the voice of the owner of the house. So he hastily added...

"He said that he was being monitored by the Anbu and could be assassinated by them at any time."

Uchiha Setsuna, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes upon hearing this. Then, an old voice sounded.

"Tell me his information."

"Kayn Uchiha, 16 years old this year, both parents are dead, Sharingan has evolved to three Tomoe, and previously agreed to use peaceful means to resolve the conflict with Konoha."

The courtyard is deep and quiet, with frogs croaking from the pond from time to time. 

The owner of the house didn't say anything after hearing this. Kamakura stood outside the door and waited patiently.

After a while, Setsuna's voice sounded.

"Bring him to see me."

Kamakura breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. He then brought back the good news to Kayne who was patiently waiting.

"The elder agrees to see you."

"Yes! I finally passed the first wall." Kayn exclaimed inwardly 

However, he did not relax. He needed to be extremely alert and careful while dealing with the next situation.

A candle was lit in the main room.

In the dim candlelight, a somewhat hunched figure was cast on the shoji door.

"Lord Setsuna, Kayn Uchiha has arrived," Kamakura whispered.

"Let him in, you stay outside and be on guard." Uchiha Setsuna spoke slowly because of his age.

Yet the sound is clear as day.

Kayn on the other hand, walked into the house and said straight to the point. "Report to the elder, our entire clan will be wiped out! No one will be left alive!"

Uchiha Setsuna's cloudy eyes suddenly became sharp, and as he stared at Kayne.

He rebuked, "Kid, our clan is a powerful clan that has been passed down for thousands of years. What kind of crisis have we not experienced over the years? The Uchiha clan will never perish, don't talk nonsense here."

As he heard this, Kayn's brain started working fast. He already expected this happening so, his response to this was already prepared beforehand.

"But..."

Kayn started recalling some sad things from his memory.

"... I see, seems they were right. Truly, It was a futile struggle."

For example, I can no longer drink Redbull, I can no longer see the hot teacher next door, I can no longer play games online, and worst of all, the contents of my hard drive were not deleted before I got Isekai'd!!!

"I tried to hold and fight on but, everyone keeps saying the same thing..."

At that moment, sadness flowed like a river, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

"Even so, I still believe in our people! Yet..."

Kayn said in inexplicable sorrow.

"Elder, I didn't expect that even you would have this attitude. It seems... our clan... has no hope."

Kayn finished speaking and turned away... very slowly.

'Come on please work!'

Kayn prayed silently/chaoticly in his heart. He was waiting, waiting for Setsuna to take the initiative to ask him.

Thankfully, this abnormal behavior really attracted the attention of Uchiha Setsuna.

'I thought it was another young one in the Clan trying to show off, but now it seems...'

"What are you going to do next?"

"Well... probably Pray. Pray that hopefully, my incoming death can awaken the people of our clan."

Kayn's tone was calm and indifferent as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

But it can make people feel the determination!

Uchiha Setsuna no longer hesitated and said...

"You just said that the clan is in danger. Tell me what's going on."

'It's done!' Kayn celebrated upon hearing what Setsuna just said.

The most difficult level— The trust has been finally taken. Albeit partially, it doesn't change the fact that he already got some of it.

Thanks to that little trust, the next part would be significantly easy to act out.

"Shisui... Uchiha Shisui didn't commit suicide!"

Uchiha Setsuna had no expression and didn't give out a response, but Kayne could read a sentence from his eyes.

"If this is what you mean by the extinction of the clan, then get out of here."

However, Kayn didn't keep anyone in suspense and immediately followed up on what he just said.

"It was Danzo. Shimura Danzo... He's the one who did it!"

Uchiha Setsuna's eyelids twitched, the wrinkles between his brows squeezed together, and he couldn't help but exclaim "Shimura Danzo!?"

He pressed. "Are you sure it was him?!"

Kayn pursed his lips, nodded heavily, clenched his fists, and said angrily.

"I am sure!"

Meal after Meal, Kayn kept serving to the point that Setsuna was already having a hard time digesting what he had just taken.

But it seems that Kayne doesn't have a plan to let him do that as before he could even recover, Kayn immediately served out the biggest fish.

"Itachi Uchiha has fully surrendered to Konoha and is preparing to join forces with Konoha to exterminate the clan!"
