Leaking a Little

Chapter 32: A Little Leak

"Exactly! Danzō is a great man!"

Setsuna reacted the fastest, sighing, "Danzō knew Kazuki's eyes were gouged out and felt bad, so he came."

"He sacrificed his Root ninja, putting on a brave face so Kazuki would feel better."

"He diverted everyone's attention and bore the village's dissatisfaction."

"He compensated us with a large sum of money."

"He burned himself to light the way for us!"

Kazuki felt it was necessary to strike them down a peg, to let them know there's always someone better.

"Ninjutsu is your ninja way; I really can't agree with that," Kazuki shrugged. "Besides, it's not just me who disagrees; the facts prove it, don't they? For so many years, the clan hasn't moved an inch."

Comfort Kazuki?

If you keep comforting him, tomorrow he might be visiting Danzō's grave.

The bandages on his face seemed to faintly take on a tinge of blood.

"If you keep shaking me like that, don't even bother calling me Kazuki; you can call me Uncle Two and I still won't listen."

He said calmly, "Mokujin and Yuto both trust you, Kazuki. Someone like you, would you be an ordinary clan prodigy?"

Shisui shouted excitedly, "Elder, what do you mean by that? You actually believe it? Heh, that's ridiculous. Three thousand ninja, that's three thousand ninja! Do you know what that represents? You..."

Setsuna coldly interjected, "We know exactly who Hiruzen Sarutobi is, and we considered the Sarutobi clan's ninja, but..."

Fugaku's words interrupted Kazuki.

"Of course!" Kazuki said with a sly grin. "You can also find a scapegoat, just like the Third Hokage found Danzō."

"Meaning you considered everything very thoroughly, right?" Kazuki asked with a half-smile. "Including the Three Thousand Sarutobi Army, you considered them too, right?"

Fugaku roared, and at the same time, his killing intent transformed into sharp blades, piercing towards Shisui.

"Kazuki, are you sure?"

"The decision I've made will not change!"

There was only one possibility!

Shisui refused to believe it!

Hearing Fugaku's words, Kazuki stroked his chin, lost in thought.

"Muneyoshi, I told you long ago, your methods are outdated!"

In just a few short years.

Uchiha Muneyoshi!

He stared intently at Kazuki, saying in a deep voice, "Do you think my methods are not feasible?"

He absolutely could not believe it either!

It was originally meant to comfort Kazuki while also warning Setsuna.

"Calm down, Shisui!"

"Don't just say them; you're the same!"

The few people couldn't help but look terrified.

Danzō's Root suffered heavy losses, which also caused instability among the Uchiha.

Kazuki's words instantly reminded a few people of past events.

"If we're still laughing at him here, aren't we worse than beasts?"

Everyone fell silent, digesting the news.

Although Danzō was the instigator, he also truly suffered losses.

Setsuna said calmly, "We will naturally prepare the most thorough plan to ensure success."

The icy killing intent made Shisui pause, and a bit of clarity entered his eyes.

His expression was also full of doubt.

Shisui erupted from the side.

Kazuki's tone changed, "You even took his money? How could you do that? It's too much."

Although Kazuki's eyes were bandaged, his demeanor was somewhat defiant.

"Three thousand!?"

If Fugaku and Muneyoshi hadn't forcibly suppressed the situation, and Setsuna had chosen to stand aside without fanning the flames, who knows what those Uchiha might have done.

As for Kurenai, the woman was very smart. From the beginning, she hid in her room and didn't come out.

Kazuki's voice trembled as he was shaken: "I'm saying, is this Parkinson's spreading throughout your whole body? And you want to infect me, you're too despicable."

Shisui even stepped forward and grabbed Kazuki's shoulders, shouting, "You're not allowed to mess around, do you hear me?"

"Are you even speaking human words?"

Fugaku and the others frowned deeply.

Thousands of ninja, what would they eat?

What would they drink?

Where would the resources for their training come from?

Now it's all good.

Shisui almost fainted from anger.

Setsuna frowned, looking at Kazuki, and said, "Are you sure?"

"I'm your brother!"

"Mokujin!"

Mokujin, a young Jonin with a small reputation within the clan.

"Just let him go!"

Setsuna's face was very dark.

"No!"

This was probably his only weakness.

The Sarutobi family gaining over three thousand more ninja, Shisui understood too well what that represented.

After becoming a Jonin, Kazuki began cultivating his own influence.

Let's not say anything else.

Suddenly, a steady voice rang out.

"Three Thousand Sarutobi Army?"

Everyone was stunned.

"How can I be sure!" Kazuki asked in surprise, "I'm not the clan head, nor an elder, just an ordinary clan genius. Although I'm very handsome, talented, kind, and helpful..."

"Why are you dragging me into this again?"

Setsuna said word by word, "We just want to take back what belongs to us, the Uchiha."

"What belongs to you?"

Three Uchiha power holders, the three most outstanding individuals of the new generation.

They basically knew everything they needed to know, so it was better to openly reveal everything.

Fugaku and Muneyoshi watched the two in silence.

"The Sarutobi family!" Kazuki said with a smile, "The Sarutobi family now has over three thousand ninja, known as the Three Thousand Sarutobi Army. Your plan must have taken them into consideration too, right?"

Kazuki smiled, "I can only say your idea is not bad."

His respected Hokage would never do such a thing.

"Even if you dig up my grandfather, it won't work!"

Fugaku said slowly, "We have some guesses about the Sarutobi family, but three thousand..."

Shisui remained silent.

Setsuna said sarcastically, "Even if you and Fugaku suppress this incident, what about next time? Or do you think Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others will stop?"

Kazuki's expression turned serious, "I will definitely thank Danzō, I swear!"

Shisui acted as if he hadn't heard, "Answer my question, answer me, Kazuki!"

"That's enough!"

"I propose!" Kazuki said with a serious expression, "We should all go and kowtow to Danzō together, to thank him for his efforts."

He stepped forward and grabbed Kazuki's shoulders, shaking him vigorously, his own body trembling violently.

Yuto was the same.

Because Kazuki was attacked, the Uchiha within the clan were indeed very angry.

There were a total of six people present.

If something like that happened again, Danzō would definitely fight Kazuki to the death. Not to mention the Third, even the Second rising from the grave couldn't stop him.

"I told you to calm down, Shisui!"

Although the Sarutobi family had businesses, the money they earned could absolutely not support such a massive expenditure.

Fugaku had a headache.

"Besides, I don't even know where grandpa is buried, where am I supposed to dig?"

"Kazuki!"

"You're talking nonsense, right?"

"You think an armed coup can save the Uchiha? Are you Uchiha Shisui? So naive!"

Why are you looking at me?

"Right!" Kazuki seemed to have thought of something and chuckled, "What about within the clan? I think many Uchiha must be struggling to contain their anger. You three have had a tough time too."

"Kazuki, stop messing around!"

"I..."

At least listening to Kazuki, he felt genuinely worried for Danzō.

Although it was well-hidden, if one looked closely, they could discover that within the clan, quite a few Uchiha had seen their strength skyrocket in just a few short years.

During this incident of the Mangekyo being lost, Mokujin suddenly stepped forward, causing this point to be magnified and become a commonality pointing towards Kazuki.
