He Was Angry!

He Was Angry!

Someone with Fugaku's fierce eyes would never do something like this.

As Kazuki put it, he was like his eyes—his brain couldn't make turns.

That old fossil Sōgi went without saying.

He had been bent on integrating the village into Konoha, only to gradually become someone who sucked up to the Hokage Faction.

In Kazuki's eyes, as long as something benefited the village, no matter how disadvantageous it was to the Uchiha, he would willingly accept it.

The most frightening part was that he hadn't realized it himself. Instead, he believed that everything he did was for the Uchiha.

I didn't believe it, but you did, he did. If I don't believe it, wouldn't that make me the odd one out?

Muto was straightforward.

But if Kazuki handled this badly, it would become a new Great Ninja War.

Nanto said in surprise, "Break every bone first, then burn him? That way, he won't be able to run. My lord is brilliant. I've learned it, I've learned it."

Uchiha Nanto!

These were the two trump cards Kazuki had placed outside.

"Yes!"

That made sense!

Danzo...

"It's indeed time to settle some accounts."

How could an Anbu who had always brought back important—and genuine—intelligence ever be suspected?

Kazuki smiled even more happily.

He felt somewhat uneasy.

Kazuki suddenly raised his head, meeting his gaze. He smiled faintly and moved his lips.

Anbu!

This was the muscle Kazuki had just shown off to the outside world today. As for whether the others could accept it...

I'm piloting a Gundam. If I can't flatten you with one punch, that's on me!

That was just how arrogant he was!

Nanto grinned at the side. "Muto and I go way back. We've known each other for years. My lord, what discount should we give him?"

What the hell was burning someone alive? He had only ever heard of burying someone alive.

Blood and wails would become its main melody.

The two rose, went behind Kazuki, and dropped to one knee. In deep voices, they said, "We swear to follow you to the death!"

As the two people most familiar with the man before them, they knew very well that Kazuki had been accumulating anger for a long time.

And he didn't want to die.

The two knew that Konoha was about to become restless again.

"Some people's actions have crossed the line!"

Killing intent filled Nanto's eyes.

The old Uchiha Setsuna had been very headstrong.

"Every bone must be broken!"

Muto let out a deep sigh and said, "Lord Kazuki, I was wrong."

The two were powerless to change Kazuki's decision, nor did they want to.

The little thing—ptui, the old thing—wanted benefits.

Heh, that guy should be locked up in confinement right now.

Good or bad, all I wanted was the result.

Every time Konoha did something that wronged him, he would mark it down in his heart.

Kazuki thought about it for a while. Aside from himself, probably only Uchiha Setsuna would pull off such a ridiculous stunt.

"You have no idea. When I walk down the street, the way the surrounding ninja look at me is downright bizarre!"

"The village these days is truly disgusting."

He suddenly turned his head toward Muto and Nanto. "Mobilize all our people to spread the rumors. Make sure everyone believes that the Uchiha have five thousand ninja."

Kazuki looked at him with a smile. "Don't worry. If you really follow White Fang's example, I'll definitely make you a pure jade coffin. No, wait, we're Uchiha. What do we need coffins for? We have to use Fire Release!"

Sometimes, if a lie was repeated enough times, it became true.

Accept it if you can. If you can't... come hit me!

"I've told you everything. I've laid everything bare. What reaction will you have? Hmm?"

In the distance, a masked figure hid in the shadows, silently watching Kazuki.

Its cold gaze fixed upon the prosperous village.

The rumor that the Uchiha clan had five thousand ninja spread more and more fiercely.

Muto came under attack. If not for their secret assistance, Muto's corpse would probably have started to stink long ago.

Therefore!

He had considered taking revenge on those people.

But he had already pledged himself to Kazuki.

What's more!

Uchiha Kazuki had never disappointed them.

Nanto and Muto exchanged a glance but said nothing.

"After you return, do you know how to make your report?"

Picking fights with the heavens, the earth, and even the air!

After being lectured several times, he had learned to adapt.

Beside him, a young ninja was nodding vigorously.

The Anbu ninja nodded and vanished from the spot in a flash.

Kazuki froze for a moment. "Burn him alive? Then you'll have to pay more!"

The Fourth Great Ninja War!

He truly had no confidence.

Uchiha Muto sat on the sofa opposite Kazuki, pouring out his grievances.

"Don't worry about the cost. I'll give you a discount!" Kazuki patted Muto on the shoulder. "Have you forgotten what we're preparing to do? Businessmen value honesty. Between acquaintances, discounts are a must."

Muto's expression turned serious. "The plan has already begun, but isn't this getting a little too big?!"

"Pfft, hahaha!" Nanto couldn't stop himself from bursting out laughing. "My lord, Muto has indeed had a hard time lately. The Mangekyo incident dragged him in too. If he didn't have some skill, he'd really have been cremated by now."

Kazuki looked utterly casual and didn't even glance at the other man.

Heh, Kazuki, who possessed the Eternal Mangekyo, thought, What the hell does this have to do with me?

Muto's brows twitched as he said awkwardly, "I'm still alive. There's no need to think that far ahead for now."

The Hokage had given the order. Even if he had to put on an act, he needed to stay confined for a few days!

Causing trouble at a time like this wasn't merely slapping the Hokage in the face. It was truly challenging the village's patience.

Because he was too far away, the Anbu couldn't hear Kazuki's words, but he could understand what Kazuki meant.

The Konoha Military Police Force stepped in to stop it, but it looked more like they were putting on a show, producing the opposite result.

"Just endure it and it'll be over. You're a jonin, aren't you? You don't even have this much tolerance?"

Muto said helplessly, "Please, give me a way out."

With them around, it became easier for Kazuki to do certain things.

"Th-this..."

"Where were you wrong?"

"Wherever you say I was wrong, that's where I was wrong."

Simply put, the current Uchiha Setsuna was someone who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

"My lord, do you think we should teach some people a lesson?"

Mm, a very familiar tone.

Danzo and the others had struck several times. How could the Uchiha possibly not retaliate?

Bit by bit, they had finally awakened the sleeping beast.

As for why he had not been discovered... it was because every report he made was true.

Kazuki glanced at him and couldn't be bothered to answer. He merely said, "Do what you're supposed to do. You don't need to worry about anything else. I will decide the limits."

He was the Anbu responsible for monitoring Kazuki.

They had chosen to follow Uchiha Kazuki, so naturally, they would closely follow in his footsteps.

An Uchiha jonin could not be ignored anywhere.

"It's time for things to change."

Kazuki smiled without smiling. "Why does that sound like I'm threatening you? Are you feeling very wronged?"

He stood and walked to the window, silently looking outside. There was a smile on his face, but his words were exceptionally cold.

That expression, that tone—Kazuki, as an old acquaintance, understood them far too well.

Muto looked at Kazuki with a sly glint in his eyes.

He was older and already influential within the Uchiha. Moreover, the relationship between the village and the Uchiha had allowed him to rise in power, causing the forces under his command to expand further and further.

Kazuki thought for a moment. "How is the matter I had you handle going?"

"You have no idea. Those looks... tsk, tsk. If this keeps up, my mental state... sigh."

Two jonin!

Why should they keep taking beatings without ever fighting back?

Next would come the Uchiha's counterattack!
