“Kazuki Uchiha!!!” A furious roar echoed through the room.
Homura Mitokado glared at Kazuki, gritting his teeth.
“What on earth do you mean by this?
Playing the fool without saying a word—what are you trying to accomplish?
You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?” The representative from the Hyuga clan, the representative of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, and representatives from the other ninja clans all looked at Kazuki suspiciously, growing increasingly doubtful.
It was mostly because Kazuki’s past behavior had been completely unhinged.
Every single person present had been thoroughly tormented by him at one point or another.
Seeing him act like this naturally aroused their suspicions.
Simply put, this did not match Kazuki Uchiha’s usual personality.
He was never one to take a loss lying down.
It was always his enemies who ended up suffering beyond belief.
Besides, setting Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura aside, who were Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado supposed to be?
They were a pair of absolute masterminds of incompetence!
To claim that those two had broken into the core territory of the Uchiha, attacked an Uchiha genius, and actually succeeded…
It wasn’t that they looked down on them—it was that they couldn’t take them seriously!
Kazuki still said nothing, covering his head with the blanket.
Standing to the side, Fugaku, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
“Kazuki, the Uchiha clansmen are all here, and Elder Muneyoshi is here as well.
Speak whatever is on your mind.
The clan stands behind you.” Hearing this, Kazuki, who had been trembling under the blanket just a moment ago, instantly froze.
He carefully poked his head out and asked, “Patriarch?
You’re here?” “Yes, I’m here!” “Will you stay here forever?” “I will!” “Liar!
Don’t you ever need to take a dump?
You’re gonna hold it in?!” Fugaku: “…” Kazuki suddenly said in horror, “You’re not planning to do it right here, are you?” Fugaku took a deep breath.
*Calm down!
I must stay calm!* *The more critical the moment, the calmer I must be.* Fortunately, Kazuki let him off the hook.
“Elder Muneyoshi?” “Ahem, I’m here too.
We’re all here!” Muneyoshi chimed in quickly.
“Child, don’t be afraid.
The Patriarch, myself, and…
and Elder Setsuna are all here.
The Uchiha clansmen are all here too.
We’ll take turns protecting you.
Rest assured, no one can bully you.” His voice was tinged with regret, and the glare he directed at Hiruzen and Danzo carried a trace of hatred.
Because Kurenai Yuhi had been by Kazuki’s side, they hadn’t approached earlier, but they had forgotten that Kazuki had just been attacked and had lost his sight.
He must be terrified right now…
right?!
“Is it really you guys?” Kazuki’s voice held a note of doubt.
“Yes!” Muneyoshi said gently, “Don’t worry that we might be impostors.
I can tell you some secrets that only we know.” “Oh!” Kazuki thought for a moment, then said, “Then tell me in detail: why does Lord Danzo hate me so much?” The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell dead silent.
Kurenai couldn’t hold back and gave Kazuki a vicious pinch.
*You just can’t stop causing trouble, can you?!* The Third Hokage reacted the fastest.
He reached back and forcefully pinned down Danzo; otherwise, the Darkness of Shinobi, who had lost his composure, would have already pounced on Kazuki like a rabid tiger.
He definitely would have strangled him to death!
*You damn kid, you still dare to bring that up!* *I’ll fight you to the death!* Everyone else had black lines running down their faces.
*Sure enough, he’s still the same Kazuki!* One look confirmed it: those trembling, fearful reactions earlier were definitely fake.
Total act!
“Kazuki!” Fugaku’s voice lowered.
“Now is not the time for jokes.
This is a matter of grave importance that concerns all of us.” *Why does Danzo hate you?
Don’t you know?* *You made him lose face completely—that’s something every single ninja in Konoha knows about.* *God knows how many people idolize you because of it.* *Do you really have to pull off his shameful cover-up in public?* *No!
You pulled off the cover-up, took two photos, and then threatened to broadcast them everywhere!* Smoke was practically billowing out of Danzo’s nose.
“Alright, alright, just making a joke to lighten the mood.
Is it really necessary to get so worked up?” Under the dual scolding of Kurenai and Muneyoshi, Kazuki let out a deep sigh and said, “To be honest, I’m not entirely sure what happened either.” Everyone present frowned slightly, but they patiently waited for Kazuki to continue.
Patience was the one thing no one in this room lacked.
Even when Danzo faced Kazuki, he could calm down quickly…
as long as Kazuki stopped provoking him.
The Mangekyo simply possessed that much charm.
“I was joking around with Shisui and poured a pouch of laxatives into his cup.” Noticing everyone raising an eyebrow, Kazuki added a clarification.
“It was a massive dosage.
Even Senior Guy would have to live in the bathroom for a day and be carried out on a stretcher.” Everyone’s expressions became quite colorful.
*Is that what we wanted to know?!* *You’re just proving that you and Shisui are real brothers!* *And why use Guy as an example?* *Oh, he’s physically strong and calls himself the Sublime Green Beast.
Fair enough.* Kazuki continued, “At that point, a problem arose.
Someone swapped my medicine.” “Swapped it?” “Yes!” Kazuki said in a light tone.
“The medicine I meant for Shisui was swapped.
After Shisui drank it, he fell into a coma, which was why he was so easily taken down.
Sigh, Shisui is no longer whole.” “…” You really couldn’t say he was wrong about that.
Koharu Utatane asked, “What about you?” “Me?
I’m a medical ninja,” Kazuki said.
“I studied medical Ninjutsu under Lady Tsunade.
Everyone present should know this.” Quite a few people nodded instinctively.
All of the Sannin acknowledged Kazuki as their disciple, a fact everyone knew, which made many of them uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, Kazuki couldn’t be touched recklessly, while Tsunade never gave them the time of day and was famous for her explosive temper.
After becoming the Fifth Hokage, she had actually reined it in a bit.
At this moment, Tsunade was truly the Legendary Princess Tsunade!
Among the Sannin: Orochimaru taught him the deepest knowledge, genuinely treating Kazuki as a disciple.
Tsunade only taught medical Ninjutsu.
As for Jiraiya…
best not to mention him.
“I fell victim to the plot as well, but I noticed it relatively early and treated myself in time.
In my dazed state, I seemed to see someone walking toward me.” Kazuki’s voice grew low and solemn.
“I used all my strength and barely caught sight of who it was…” “Who?” Fugaku’s voice carried urgency.
So did the others.
This involved two pairs of Mangekyo; anyone’s eyes would turn green with envy.
Obtaining them oneself was ideal, but even if they couldn’t, they had to find a way to destroy them.
“The following is paid content.
Also, I’d like to ask: who do you hope it was?” Everyone fell silent at once.
The suffocating atmosphere caused even Kurenai to tremble.
She quickly pinched Kazuki again and whispered, “Don’t mess around at a time like this.
Watch out or you’ll get punished!” *Good heavens!* *All the big figures of Konoha are right here.
You could say the people in this room can decide the entire trajectory of Konoha.* *Even my father would have to kneel here, yet Kazuki dares to tease them!* Kazuki kept his eyes closed, ignoring Kurenai completely.
“Kazuki!” Muneyoshi said in a deep voice.
“Look at what time it is.
Stop messing around.” Kazuki said helplessly, “Elder Muneyoshi, I’d love to see what time it is too.
The problem is, I can’t see!” Everyone froze, their expressions turning somewhat odd.
Could Kazuki be trying to…
Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered briefly, then said, “Kazuki, if you have any demands, feel free to voice them.” “The Hokage is straightforward indeed.
You really can’t tell from your looks.” The Third Hokage was just about to offer a practiced smile when his expression froze.
