The Great Scholars Debate the Classics × The Uchiha Clan's Complete Turn Toward the West

The hundred-meter-long sword turned red, ignited, and then burst into raging flames.

A withered leaf, oblivious to the danger, was swept by the wind and landed on the tip of the flame, instantly vaporizing into ash.

The intense heat, almost touching him, coalesced into waves of heat, causing Uchiha Setsuna.

Roy slowly rose, the three tomoe in his blood-red pupils slowly swirling, reflecting the other's surprised, horrified, and incredulous face. The Sun-Earring Boy let the Snow Walk across the entire shrine, drawing a straight, willful, burning line. With a step, he reappeared, sitting cross-legged in front of the main hall's gate, his back to the burning hundred-meter Snow Walk, watching everyone without saying a word.

"Sizzle~" A ray of light from the flame cast a long, long shadow of the Sun-Earring Boy's back.

The noise inside the hall subsided, and for a moment, an eerie silence descended upon it.

"Gulp~" Uchiha Obito bobbed, and he could even hear himself swallowing. He was sitting at the edge of the crowd, closest to the door, and now he felt the scorching air and the heat wave hitting him... Fine beads of sweat appeared on Obito. He glanced at Roy silently, then moved his buttocks and carefully shuffled into the hall.

"Nii-san..." In front of the coffin, Roy, who had been clinging to Roy's clothes just a moment ago, trying to find a Shisui of security, suddenly felt his hand go empty. When he looked up again, his older brother was like a demon or a god, carrying a burning hundred-meter-long giant blade on his back, his pupils outlined with a scarlet... Shisui's slightly chubby face couldn't help but flush with excitement, and his eyes shone like light bulbs as he stared intently at Roy!

Nii-san always said that my amateurish knife skills were far from worthy of being called Swordsmanship, but now it seems... Nii-san was right... This time, it's the knife that truly embodies Swordsmanship!

Characters like Obito and Shisui, whose emotional fluctuations intensify, inadvertently fuel the already intense emotional turmoil...

[Panel prompt: "Emotional fluctuation" current accumulation: 110%, 120%, 130%...]

At 10:00...20:00...30:00... and even... it's experiencing exponential growth.

The Great Sun rises high in Roy's mind; his long, flowing black hair sways slightly, his ears are closed, as if he hears nothing of the world outside...

But the people inside the hall included Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Inabi, Tekka... and even those who had lost their parents... and siblings...

He couldn't ignore the Uchiha members who were his beloved family and friends. As he opened and closed his mouth, his pupils contracted, revealing his dazed and foolish state!

"Ember...

"Uchiha Jin!"

"Another pair of Three-Tomoe!"

The Heart-Whisper Sutra Worm and completely absorbed into its belly, serving as nourishment for "emotions"...

After a long, deathly silence, Uchiha Fugaku uttered a light, dismissive rebuke. "Jin, how dare you be so insolent!"

"Why haven't you released the clan elder yet?"

"Yes." Roy glanced at Uchiha Setsuna indifferently and simply said, "Snow Walk..."

"Yin"

Another sword rang out!

The white-handled, snow-white, hundred-meter-long sword, seemingly burning like fire, was suddenly drawn back. With a thought from Roy, it spun and circled the main hall once, before landing in front of the Sun-Earring Boy... where Roy gently caught it, placing it steadily in his hand and laying it flat on his lap, as he took out a handkerchief from his robes and carefully wiped it...

Uchiha Setsuna in a hurry and had parted ways with the rest of the clan in a fit of anger, was unable to take a single step. It was as if he had been nailed to the spot and was no longer under his control.

"Hiss..." Wisps of smoke rose.

The Snow Walk blocking the way, but a scorched ditch nearly a hundred meters long lay across his path. After a moment, a faint sigh escaped his lips. The old man's bloodshot eyes were fixed on Roy. He took a deep breath and finally found his footing... This time, he chose to take a few steps back and stand still inside the hall.

"Clan leader, please forgive my blindness and rudeness..." Uchiha Setsuna's already hunched back bent even further, almost forming a bow shape... Just like Fugaku before him, he bowed deeply. Beside him, Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Inabi, Tekka... including Obito Shisui, all the Uchiha looked at Roy, who sat like a rock at the door, then at Uchiha Setsuna Uchiha Fugaku... and a thought silently arose in their minds, thinking, "It should be so."

"Chieftain,"

"Lord Fugaku,"

"I was confused, I'm sorry!" With a clatter... as Uchiha Setsuna Uchiha Setsuna, the dozens of Uchiha who had followed him out the door all bowed in apology.

Uchiha Fugaku gave Roy a deep look, then raised his hand, a gentle smile on his face, "We're all family, no need for formalities. Uncle, Tekka... Ohara... get up quickly..."

As the Three-Tomoe in his eyes slowly faded, Uchiha Fugaku helped up Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Tekka, and several other radical and dissatisfied Uchiha who had long harbored grudges against the higher-ups. He then sighed and said, "I should apologize to everyone. My son was ungrateful and offended you all. Please don't hold it against him."

"Clan leader, you jest." Uchiha Setsuna, helped up by Fugaku, shed his previous sharp and imposing demeanor, deliberately Sharingan in his pupils. Smiling, he took Fugaku's arm and looked at Roy, who was still wiping his sword by the door, saying with a touch of emotion, "Years ago, I followed Lord Madara and was fortunate enough to witness his majesty. Today... what I see is that Jin already possesses the bearing of Lord Madara!"

At the age of eight, he spontaneously awakened the Three-Tomoe type of magical artifact), and with a casual slash, he displayed Swordsmanship beyond human comprehension!

Uchiha Setsuna said frankly, "Fugaku, having such a son is a blessing for my entire clan!"

"Uncle is right." Uchiha Yashiro narrowed his eyes, almost stitching them together, a faint golden light shining through the slits onto Roy, and said with no small amount of agreement, "Clan head, the Young Clan Head did nothing wrong."

"On the contrary, he did the right thing... Leaving the table without the clan leader's order is wrong."

"The elders and uncles are right," said Uchiha Inabi, who, as the head of the Police Force, valued rules above all else. "Without rules, there can be no order. Jin is helping everyone follow the rules!"

"Yes... it's not the Young Clan Head's fault, it's me... and me... I acted rashly and confusedly... Please punish me, clan leader."

"Ding-dong~" In a corner of the shrine, the wind chimes hanging from the brackets and flying eaves tinkled cheerfully in the breeze. Gazes, both open and covert, were cast toward the Sun-Earring Boy wiping his sword by the door.

Uchiha Obito and Shisui stared intently, listening... their pupils gleaming with undisguised envy!

Nii-san /Jin, this guy, doesn't need to say a word. Just sitting there, no one can ignore him, just like the Hokage... Everyone revolves around him, so impressive...

The Sun-Earring Boy's heart was surging with emotion, and many of the Negative Emotions hidden in his heart were extinguished... Gradually... the Heart Bug had nothing left to eat... It burped and retracted its mouthparts, following the Thread of Causality constructed by the Bloodline Bond, and rolled on the spot with its round belly, shrinking back into Roy's body.

[Panel notification: "Emotional Fluctuation" accumulation +50%...]

[Current "Negative Emotions" Accumulation: 370%... May be enough to help others open their eyes three to five more times, the degree of depletion depends on the other party's "Bloodline concentration"...]

[Note: The "Negative Emotions" accumulated within the host's body have reached a breaking point. Prolonged possession of these emotions will harm the host's health. Please clear or eliminate them immediately...]

Taking from the people and using it for the people... it's ultimately not his own, nor offered by his Believer... Roy received a notification from the panel, focusing for a moment on the "help others awaken their eyes" option, then carefully examined the pasts of the many Uchiha in the hall brought by the Heart Bug... At the same time, a power arose within him, faintly gathering towards his eyes, seemingly waiting for him to develop and summon them... The Sun-Earring Boy sorted through the useless information belonging to Uchiha Setsuna, Yashiro, Inabi, Tekka... and even Obito and Shisui... gradually developing a certain idea for his own "Dojutsu" development.

"Uncle, you flatter me." (From the main hall of the shrine)

As Uchiha Setsuna, Yashiro, Inabi, and others tried to exonerate Roy... Fugaku shook his head, beckoned to Roy, and said, "Jin, aren't you coming over to pay your respects to the clan elders and your uncle?"

"Clang-"

The Snow Walk to its sheath... The Sun-Earring Boy stood with his back to the rising Great Sun outside the door, letting a ray of sunlight filter through the eaves and fall upon him, draping him in a Rosy Garment sunlight...

Roy stood up, pondering the "Dojutsu" for a moment, and slowly walked to the front of the group. He nodded slightly to Uchiha Setsuna, Yashiro Inabi, and the others, saying, "Jin greets the clan elders and uncles. I am sorry for my rudeness."

Younger members like Uchiha Inabi and Tekka quickly waved their hands, saying, "It's alright, it's alright."

"Young Clan Head leader, you're too kind."

A peaceful atmosphere prevailed, completely devoid of the dark, twisted, and oppressive ambiance that the Uchiha had always possessed...

Roy gave a soft "hmm" and, in coordination with Uchiha Fugaku, shook his head in a "self-denying" manner, saying, "My elders can Forgive me for being young and ignorant, but as a member of the Uchiha, I cannot be ungrateful."

The Sun-Earring Boy, with Snow Walk his waist and a fan-shaped cloak emblazoned with the red and Uchiha Clan crest, bowed to Fugaku and said, "Father, please allow me to make amends by presenting a gift to the clan elders and uncles as an apology."

Uchiha Fugaku was taken aback, and he, along with Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Inabi, Tekka, and dozens of other radical Uchiha, all looked over...

Fugaku stared at his son for a long time, as if seeing him for the first time, before finally coming to his senses and saying, "The decision is yours."

Roy straightened up again and nodded. "Very well, then I will now open my eyes for my uncles and cousins."

"Wait!" A sudden, deep shout shook the shrine's rubble!

As soon as Roy finished speaking, a sudden gust of wind swept in front of him, revealing a pair of withered old hands that grabbed his shoulders. The wrinkled face, which had not been dulled by more than a decade of imprisonment, was almost touching Roy's face. It was... Uchiha Clan the Uchiha Setsuna clan besides the clan head, Uchiha Fugaku!

The old man's hunched body trembled as he almost straightened up, gripping Roy tightly, staring at him intently, and said in a trembling voice, "Child, do you know what you're saying?"

"Whoosh~" The wind outside the window blew, making the wind chimes tinkle again...

Following Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Inabi, Tekka... and a whole group of Uchiha clan members all looked over, including the carefree Obito, who was stunned for a moment, then stared at Roy with his mouth agape.

The Sun-Earring Boy met his father's stunned gaze, and seeing the dazed look on Shisui's face behind him, he earnestly reiterated, "I said, I want to help my uncles and cousins broaden their horizons."

Roy shrugged, precisely knocking Uchiha Setsuna. He then strolled through the stunned gazes of the crowd to the coffin displayed in the main hall, which nearly occupied half the shrine. Imitating Uchiha Setsuna's manner, he gently stroked the surface of the coffin and said solemnly, "I don't understand what Father and the elders were arguing about, but I know that if a person is weak, they will be bullied and killed."

"I went to the battlefield a while ago and saw many people die. Most of them were slaughtered at will because they were too weak..."

The Sun-Earring Boy paused, turned to face his father, Uchiha Setsuna, Yashiro, Inabi Tekka, and the rest of the Uchiha clan, clenched his fist, and raised it diagonally upwards. "So I believe that I must become stronger, and we Uchiha must become stronger, so strong that the entire Hidden Konoha will not dare to oppose us, so strong that the Kumogakure, the Kirigakure Village, and the Iwagakure will fear us. At that time, I think no one will dare to oppose us!"

"Jingle bells..." The wind chimes swayed, and silence reigned over the Uchiha Clan at this moment...

With his back to the coffin, the Sun-Earring Boy spoke, whether naive, arrogant, or absurd... at least at this moment... this small figure, not tall but with his back straight, was imprinted in everyone's eyes like the Great Sun shining brightly overhead!

"Jin, shut up! Don't spout nonsense!"

"Fugaku!"

Uchiha Setsuna slammed his cane heavily on the ground with a dull thud, instantly stopping Fugaku's impulse to stop Roy. He then positioned himself between Roy and Uchiha Fugaku, sternly reprimanding Uchiha Fugaku: "What's wrong with what the child said? I think he's absolutely right!"

"Weakness means being bullied and killed!"

Uchiha Setsuna's sharp gaze swept over the Uchiha clan members, including Yashiro, Inabi, and Tekka, before he coldly snorted and said, "Use your brains. If Lord Madara were still alive, would Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo Shimura dare to make a move?"

"Right now, they're acting so recklessly because they have no one in their clan to back them up, not even a few decent Jonin!"

The old man puffed out his beard and glared, "Kid, do it!"

"I'm here to see if you'll open your eyes!"

Fugaku: "Uncle, he was just joking. Don't take it seriously."

"Shut up!" Uchiha Setsuna raised his cane, as if to strike!

Roy remained silent, only softly calling out, "Shisui."

Uchiha Shisui, who had been sitting blankly to the side like a dazed goose, stood up in a daze, his short legs tumbling as he stepped over the gazes of the Uchiha clan members to Roy, "Nii-san,"

Then Roy grabbed his head and instantly refined... a pure Negative Emotions was poured into his crown chakra.

Furthermore, the [Sun Trait] are used to protect their mind and spirit from being overwhelmed.

Then I saw...

Uchiha Shisui's delicate brows furrowed, and a hint of color slowly appeared in his eyes as he blinked.

Uchiha Setsuna, along with Uchiha Fugaku who, fearing Roy might try to smooth things over) Uchiha Yashiro, Inabi, Tekka, Obito, and the rest of the Uchiha clan behind them, all looked over...
