If it had only been an urn, then at most, Tokinada had merely intended to disgust these clan elders. His subconscious message was probably telling these Tsunayashiro Family elders not to keep throwing their weight around just because they were old. It was time for them to step down from the upper ranks of the Tsunayashiro Family and make room for the younger generation...
But Tokinada had not merely brought out an urn. Before everyone's eyes, he had also produced Enrakyoten, the Tsunayashiro Family's ancestral divine sword. Enrakyoten had always been worn by the Family Head. Thinking of the Tsunayashiro Family Head, who had been missing for a full half year, the truth was already obvious.
"Tokinada, what exactly do you mean by this?!"
"Tokinada, could it be that you have betrayed the Tsunayashiro Family?!"
"Tokinada, where exactly is the former Tsunayashiro Family Head? Enrakyoten has always been the Family Head's sword! And whose ashes are inside this urn? Could the previous Family Head's disappearance have something to do with you?!"
"Tokinada, do you know what consequences you will bear for murdering the former Tsunayashiro Family Head?!"
"Tokinada, I once thought you were the most outstanding talent of the Tsunayashiro Family's younger generation. Now it seems I was terribly mistaken. You are a faithless, dishonorable, unfilial bastard! We will punish you according to family law!"
For a time, aside from the Tsunayashiro Family Head, who knelt on the floor, cradling the ashes scattered across the ground and weeping bitterly, the family's Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and newly appointed Fifth Elder all questioned Tsunayashiro Tokinada.
"Heh..."
Yet after hearing the elders' words, Tokinada merely sneered.
These Five Elders appeared to be questioning him, but in truth, they were merely finding excuses for their own incompetence and ambition!
