Ueno Kei's calm words instantly twisted Sasuke's expression into something ferocious.
Our clan was wrong? No! The ones who were wrong were you Konoha higher-ups! You destroyed our clan with filthy methods, and you used despicable means to force us into a corner! My parents, my brother—they were all persecuted by your vile schemes!
A look of bone-deep hatred filled Sasuke's eyes...
With a whoosh, Sasuke vanished from where he stood. In an instant, he appeared at Ueno Kei's right side, and the massive fist of the purple flaming giant enveloping him smashed viciously toward Ueno Kei.

Watching Sasuke rapidly close in, Ueno Kei curled his lips into a faintly mocking smile, a cold gleam flashing through his eyes.
Bang! Rumble!
A violent impact rang out, followed by a powerful shockwave that erupted from Ueno Kei and Second Pillar and spread outward.
