Uchiha Plaza

After speaking, Uchiha Tajima looked at the approaching guard unit and shouted, "Halt!"

The voice was laced with fury and killing intent, causing the guards, who had been rushing toward the Elder Pavilion, to freeze in their tracks.

The leader of the group immediately dropped to one knee and said, "Greetings, Lord Uchiha Tajima, Lady Uchiha Eiko, and the four young masters! May I ask what you require, Lord Uchiha Tajima?"

Uchiha Tajima frowned and commanded, "Notify everyone in the Uchiha clan to gather at Uchiha Plaza! Furthermore, seize every servant in the clan and bring them to the plaza as well. If any resist, kill them without mercy! As for those in the Elder Pavilion, invite them to the plaza too. And send men to search the homes of the five elders thoroughly!"

As he finished, Uchiha Tajima, deprived of a battle to vent his energy, grew restless, his killing intent radiating outward. This aura was even more violent than Kangetsu's, though it lacked the same refined purity.

The guards responded instantly, "Yes, Lord Uchiha Tajima!"

With that, they vanished from sight.

This was the authority Uchiha Tajima commanded within the clan—a prestige born of immense strength that no ordinary person, let alone the so-called fifth elder, could hope to match.

At that moment, Kangetsu sensed a new presence emerging over the Uchiha clan.

Kangetsu frowned slightly, thinking to himself, Is it happening ahead of schedule? I thought it would take much longer for these people to figure it out, but it seems my hint pushed them to discover it now. Though it was my doing, I wonder if this will turn out to be a blessing or a curse.

Calming himself, Kangetsu commanded, "In that case, let us head to Uchiha Plaza as well."

His followers replied in unison, "Yes, Lord Kangetsu!"

Kangetsu then departed from Uchiha Tajima's side.

As he passed Uchiha Madara, he added, "The three of you, come along as well."

He then began walking toward Uchiha Plaza.

Uchiha Tajima and Uchiha Eiko watched this scene, shaking their heads as Tajima remarked, "It is settled. Our son has truly become a leader—a leader whom others trust and respect."

Tajima continued, "Let us begin our own task. Those fellows won't be easy to summon."

"Hmph, if they dare to cause trouble, I will show them exactly what I am capable of!"

Uchiha Eiko took a step forward, her killing intent causing the surrounding temperature to plummet. Her aura was no less heavy than Uchiha Tajima's.

Beside her, Uchiha Tajima was left momentarily speechless.
