A Warm Welcome for Danzō!

Chapter 31: A Warm Welcome for Danzō!

"You're being too reckless!"

Setsuna scolded, "I told you, I have... Hmph, only you can bring out its full potential."

"No need, I feel this pair is good enough for me. It's the most suitable for me. Thank you, Elder Setsuna. I'll treat you to a meal sometime."

Kazuki shrugged, "Clan Head Fugaku, Elder Sougi, what brings you here?"

Fugaku and Sougi exchanged a glance.

Sougi spoke slowly, "Kazuki, I know Danzō and Root have made you uncomfortable, but I hope you'll consider the bigger picture."

"I even beat up Danzō, right in his face, two slaps."

So!

Although Danzō attacked Kazuki, from every angle, Kazuki came out on top.

Am I here to listen to you say this?

Are you trying to kill me with anger? You unfilial child!

They are the strongest human clan, the strongest ninja clan in the entire Ninja World. No one can deny that.

After thinking it through, Fugaku organized his thoughts and spoke slowly.

Against the entire Konoha? We can actually do it now!

Whether the Ninja World is in chaos or not depends on Uchiha Kazuki!

"Although I was attacked, I wasn't injured. On the contrary, I took down over a dozen Root ninja."

As a son, you're not standing by your old father's side.

Doesn't that make you angry?

I can reshape Konoha to my liking whenever I want.

"You tolerated Danzō openly trying to kill me. If it were Shisui, you'd probably tolerate it too. What about Itachi? Oh, Itachi probably wouldn't be killed, because the Hokage and the others want to groom Itachi into a blade for themselves, to deal with the Uchiha."

The Uchiha of that era, while despising him, enjoyed the benefits brought by Uchiha Madara.

His expression was as if he were looking at an idiot.

Or!

They were unwilling to compare themselves internally.

Kazuki looked at Fugaku strangely.

Right!

Setsuna!

I raised you for nothing.

Kazuki remained silent, looking at Sougi for a while, then at Setsuna, whose face clearly held a mocking expression, and the solemn Fugaku. Suddenly, he broke into a brilliant smile.

He said with a smile, "Of course not. But does tolerating it achieve anything? By relying on your tolerance, will Konoha accept us Uchiha? How much progress have the Uchiha made compared to when Uchiha Madara left?"

Kazuki sneered and asked, "May I ask, what exactly have you achieved through your tolerance?"

Uchiha Kazuki, this guy is going to cause trouble!

"Why is it impossible?"

Kazuki didn't know yet that this incident caused Danzō to pay a large sum of money...

So, I don't need to tolerate it anymore, I'm just playing!

When he was around, even Hashirama Senju wouldn't dare to pressure Uchiha Madara, let alone Tobirama Senju.

Hmm?

What am I here for?

Fugaku was a little confused.

What do you mean, 'what have I achieved through my tolerance'?

Sougi's veins were bulging.

Sougi declared decisively, "The Uchiha will be fine, absolutely fine!"

"Kazuki!"

Itachi declared, "I've decided to become the Uchiha Clan Head, so I need to consider things from the Clan Head's perspective now."

Itachi suddenly interjected.

The Itachi of the past no longer existed.

For the clan, they were still full of pride.

"Kazuki, I know you're angry right now..."

Uchiha Kazuki's Uchiha!

Kazuki felt his back straighten even further.

Fugaku was furious.

Kazuki smiled happily and said, "Elder Sougi, how long do you plan to hold back? Until the Uchiha are wiped out?"

"That's impossible!"

I'll hide behind and play the sneaky one. If I get annoyed, I'll rush out and kill you all head-on.

He really shouldn't be angry.

"My body and mind are just so refreshed."

"No, I think Brother Kazuki's words make a lot of sense!"

But, one thing that couldn't be denied was that Uchiha Madara was truly strong.

He interrupted Sougi, who was about to speak, and said, "Don't talk about anything else, don't preach. I only look at facts. Give me a number: after Uchiha Madara left, how much progress has the Uchiha's integration into the village made? Or, has there been any progress?"

Are you sure you know how to talk?

"The Uchiha's survival is even more difficult now than when the village was founded."

This time, Fugaku and Setsuna also stood on his side.

He said angrily, "I'm doing this for the greater good, for the Uchiha. Do you think the Uchiha can fight against the entire Konoha, Kazuki? The reality is that the entire Konoha is targeting the Uchiha."

Fugaku's expression also changed slightly.

"You..."

Fugaku and the other two frowned deeply and said, "Kazuki, don't talk nonsense."

"Heh, decades have passed, and not only has there been no progress, but it's likely regressed quite a bit, hasn't it?"

For a moment, Fugaku and the other two fell silent.

"Itachi!"

Sougi thought he was expressing dissatisfaction and couldn't help but raise his voice. "You are one of the most outstanding individuals of the Uchiha's new generation. In the future, the Uchiha will rely on you. Don't act rashly."

Sougi had nothing more to say.

Kazuki smiled even more happily and said, "Today, if I didn't have a couple of tricks up my sleeve, I would already be dead. Who's next? Shisui, then Itachi!"

Kazuki tilted his head and stared at him, remaining silent.

It's quite ungrateful.

Decades of effort, all for nothing. How could they be willing to accept this?

"Elder Sougi, may I ask a question?"

"Clan Leader, where does this 'holding back' you speak of come from?"

Fugaku's voice was somewhat stern, and his words were filled with disappointment.

Kazuki's words were blunt, but they hit the mark. They hadn't actually compared their situation to the time of Uchiha Madara.

Itachi lowered his head and said softly, "I've been thinking a lot lately, making many assumptions. If Brother Kazuki and Shisui were really in trouble, what would I do?"

"One by one, and finally, you'll find that 'I' myself have died."

Especially during the founding of the village, many people disliked him, thinking he wanted to destroy the hard-won peace and plunge the entire clan back into war.

Uchiha Madara was a recognized rogue ninja, yet they were worse off than him.

The Uchiha's isolation was seen by many as being unique.

"I'm just telling the truth, Father!"

A strong, bad premonition surged in Sougi's heart.

I wonder if I can handle this!

"Ever since Uchiha Madara left, you've been holding back, haven't you?"

I dare not say the entire Ninja World, but in Konoha, the surname is now Uchiha.

Because Setsuna came to find Kazuki, he was worried. Moreover, Kazuki was attacked by Danzō, so he had a reason to come and appease Kazuki.

Most Uchiha admired Uchiha Madara, but some people disliked him.

Because I have the Eternal Mangekyo!

Let alone killing my way through Konoha seven times, I can go through seventy times seven times without a problem, and I can even take corners.

"Why should I be angry?"

"Speak!"

That smile, like warm sunshine, melted the accumulated snow.

Kazuki rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "I wish Danzō would attack me every day."

Finally, Kazuki concluded, "I, Uchiha Kazuki, warmly welcome Danzō. No matter what you say, this is my stance."

"And you are not allowed to stop Danzō, do you hear me?"
