Chapter 35: He's Angry!
Someone like Fugaku, with his fierce gaze, would absolutely never do something like this.
He, in Kazuki's words, was like his eyes, his brain didn't know how to turn.
Sougi, that old geezer, is even less worth mentioning.
He only wanted the village to integrate into Konoha, and eventually, it slowly evolved into currying favor with the Hokage faction.
In Kazuki's opinion, as long as it was beneficial for the village, even if it was detrimental to the Uchiha, he would gladly accept it.
The most terrifying thing was that he didn't realize it himself, yet he believed that everything he was involved in was for the Uchiha.
I didn't believe it at first, but you believed it, he believed it. If I don't believe it, wouldn't that make me a social outcast?
Mokujin was straightforward.
But if Kazuki did these things, and one wrong move, it would be a new Great Ninja War.
Nanto exclaimed, "Break his bones first, then burn him? That way he won't be able to escape. My lord is smart, he's learned it, he's learned it."
Uchiha Nanto!
These were the two trump cards Kazuki had placed outside.
"Yes!"
That's right!
Danzō...
"It's indeed time for a reckoning."
How could an Anbu who consistently provided important and accurate intelligence be suspected!
Kazuki smiled even more happily.
He was a little apprehensive.
Kazuki suddenly looked up, his gaze meeting his, and he smiled slightly, opening his mouth.
Anbu!
This was the muscle Kazuki had just shown off externally today. As for whether others could accept it...
I'm piloting a giant robot, and if I can't flatten you with one punch, then that's on me!
That's how arrogant I am!
Nanto chuckled from the side, "Mokujin is familiar with us, we've known each other for years, my lord. How much of a discount should we give him?"
Burning someone alive? I've only heard of burying them alive.
Blood and wails will become its main theme.
The two of them stood up, came behind Kazuki, knelt on one knee, and said solemnly, "We swear to follow you to the death!"
As two people familiar with the one before them, they knew very well that Kazuki had been accumulating anger for a long time.
And, I don't want to die.
The two knew that Konoha would be restless again.
"Some people's actions have crossed the line!"
Nanto's eyes carried killing intent.
The former Uchiha Setsuna was very bold.
"It must be a complete bone fracture!"
Mokujin sighed deeply and said, "Lord Kazuki, I was wrong."
The two were powerless to change Kazuki's decision, nor did they want to.
Little thing, pfft, old thing, wants benefits.
Heh, this guy is probably under house arrest right now.
Regardless of good or bad, I only want the result.
For every wrong Konoha did to him, he would make a note of it in his heart.
Kazuki thought for a long time. Such a brilliant move, besides himself, probably only Uchiha Setsuna would do something like this.
"You don't know, when I walk down the street, the ninjas around me look at me in such a strange way!"
"The current village is truly disgusting."
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Mokujin and Nanto, "Mobilize all our people to spread rumors. Make sure everyone believes that the Uchiha have five thousand ninjas."
Kazuki looked at him with a smile and said, "Don't worry. If you really follow White Fang, I'll definitely craft a pure jade coffin for you. No, we're Uchiha, why would we need a coffin? It must be Fire Style!"
Sometimes, if you say a lie enough times, it becomes the truth.
Accept it if you can, and if you can't... hit me!
"I'll tell you everything, I'll make everything clear. What reaction would you have? Hmm?"
In the distance, a masked figure hid in the shadows, silently watching Kazuki.
Its cold eyes were fixed on this prosperous village.
Rumors of the Uchiha clan having five thousand ninja were spreading like wildfire.
Mokujin was attacked; if it weren't for their help from the shadows, Mokujin's corpse would have likely rotted by now.
Therefore!
He had thought of retaliating against those people.
However, he had long since pledged his allegiance to Kazuki.
What's more!
Uchiha Kazuki had never disappointed them.
Nanto and Mokujin exchanged glances and remained silent.
"After you go back, do you know how to report?"
Defying heaven, earth, and air!
After being lectured several times, he learned to be more flexible.
Beside them, a young ninja was nodding vigorously.
The Anbu ninja nodded and, with a swish, disappeared from his spot.
Kazuki was taken aback and said, "Burning them alive? Then you'll have to pay extra!"
The Fourth Great Ninja War!
He truly lacked confidence.
Uchiha Mokujin sat on the sofa opposite Kazuki, pouring out his troubles.
"Don't worry about the cost, I'll give you a discount!" Kazuki patted Mokujin's shoulder and said, "Have you forgotten what we're preparing to do? As businessmen, we value integrity. Between acquaintances, there must be a discount."
Mokujin's expression turned serious. "The plan has already begun, but isn't this causing a bit too much of a stir?!"
"Pfft, haha!" Nanto couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Sir, Mokujin has been quite busy lately. The Mangekyo incident dragged him into it too. If he didn't have some skills, he'd really be cremated by now."
Kazuki looked nonchalant, not even glancing at the other.
Heh, Kazuki, who possessed the Eternal Mangekyo, felt, What does this have to do with me?
Mokujin's brow twitched. "I'm still alive, so you don't need to think that far ahead for now."
Even the Hokage had given the order; he had to play along and stay shut for a few days!
Causing trouble at this time wasn't just slapping the Hokage in the face; it was truly challenging the village's tolerance.
Because they were far away, the Anbu couldn't hear Kazuki's words, but they understood his meaning.
The Konoha Military Police Force intervened, but it seemed more like a performance, resulting in the opposite effect.
"Just endure it, and it'll be over. After all, he's a Jonin; how can he not handle this much?"
Mokujin said weakly, "Please, give me a way out."
With them around, it became easier for Kazuki to do certain things.
"This, this..."
"Where did I go wrong?"
"Wherever you say I went wrong, that's where I went wrong."
Simply put, the current Uchiha Setsuna was someone who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
"Sir, don't you think we should teach some people a lesson?"
Hmm, a very familiar tone.
Danzō and the others had made several moves; how could the Uchiha not retaliate?
Bit by bit, the sleeping giant was finally awakened.
As for why he wasn't discovered... it was because every report he submitted was truthful.
Kazuki glanced at him, too lazy to answer, and simply said, "Do what you're supposed to do. You don't need to worry about anything else. I'll handle the scale."
He was the Anbu responsible for monitoring Kazuki.
Having chosen to follow Uchiha Kazuki, they would naturally stick closely to his footsteps.
A Uchiha Jonin was someone no one dared to overlook, no matter where they were.
"It's time for a change."
Kazuki said with a half-smile, "This sounds like I'm threatening you? Are you feeling wronged?"
He stood up and walked to the window, silently looking outside. A smile played on his lips, but his words were exceptionally cold.
That expression, that tone, Kazuki, as an old acquaintance, understood it all too well.
Mokujin looked at Kazuki with shifty eyes.
He was older and already had influence within the Uchiha clan. Furthermore, due to the relationship between the village and the Uchiha, he began to gain power, and the forces under his command grew increasingly expansive.
Kazuki thought for a moment and asked, "How is the task I assigned you progressing?"
"You have no idea. That kind of look... tsk tsk. If this continues, my psyche... sigh."
Two Jonin!
There's no reason to be on the defensive forever.
Next, it's time for the Uchiha's counterattack!
