In the headquarters of Kyosuke's army...
"Be careful from now on," he briefly described what had just happened.
Bang!
Uchiha Maya stood up, gritting her teeth as if she were ready to bite off Uchiha Tajima's head.
"They're bullying us! This isn't negotiation, this is outright coercion."
"The clan leader, resorting to such despicable means, really disgraces the Uchiha family."
On the side, Uchiha Izumi wasn't as hot-headed as Maya.
It's not that he wasn't angry, but he understood that Uchiha Tajima's filthy thoughts went beyond this.
"I've heard that your cousin is highly valued by the clan leader."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Kyosuke's interest was piqued.
"Over the past year, Uchiha Kaijun has made rapid progress. I heard he's had three different teachers assigned to him."
At this point, Izumi glanced at Kyosuke, who was listening with great interest, then paused before continuing. "One of them is Uchiha Keisuke, your teacher."
That Ghost Father teacher?
Kyosuke rubbed his chin and murmured, "Well, with the help of Keisuke-sensei, I'm sure my cousin is benefiting greatly."
Both his subordinates exchanged confused glances. Why did Kyosuke seem so...odd about this?
Normally, one would expect him to be more angry.
"Anything else?"
"Yes," the subordinate continued, "It's said that the clan leader has already started researching the Chidori technique. Many people are trying to reverse-engineer it from the hand seals."
"Indeed, with so many of our subordinates having learned Chidori, the hand seals can't be kept secret. It's inevitable that someone will steal it."
This statement left the two of them more bewildered.
Seeing their puzzled expressions, Kyosuke smiled and shook his head. "You need to think bigger. The Uchiha's strength is our strength. Eventually, this power will be used for our benefit."
"Our clan leader has many good qualities, but his vision is too narrow. He can't see beyond the present."
Kyosuke's high-flown talk completely confused the two subordinates.
They didn't fully understand, but now one thing was clear in their minds—Kyosuke's level of thinking was truly high, beyond what ordinary people like them could fathom.
"Remember, don't get angry. Anger lowers your intelligence."
"And don't hold grudges against your enemies. Hatred clouds your judgment."
Once Kyosuke was done venting, he leisurely asked, "So, did our clan leader succeed?"
"Uhm, I don't think so..."
Of course not!
If he had succeeded, they wouldn't have had that previous scene.
"Report!"
At that moment, someone outside the tent suddenly sent a message.
Not long ago, a sound similar to Chidori Ninjutsu was heard from the clan leader's tent.
Hearing this, Maya immediately asked coldly, "Was there anyone else inside the tent besides the clan leader?"
"Uh... Uchiha Kaijun."
As soon as the words were spoken, the tent fell into a deep silence.
Realizing something was off, the subordinate quietly withdrew, vanishing without a trace.
Looking at Kyosuke, who remained silent, the two of them exchanged another glance, wondering whether he would be upset.
Seeing nothing amiss, they decided to excuse themselves and leave.
When they were alone, Kyosuke could no longer suppress his frustration, muttering a string of curses under his breath.
After a while, he calmed down, using a secret command to summon a hidden ninja, one whom even Maya and Izumi didn't know existed.
The two whispered for more than ten minutes, then the secret ninja disappeared, and Kyosuke, as if nothing had happened, left the camp.
"Come to think of it, I really do miss that cousin of mine."

Outside the camp, at a hidden training area...
Uchiha Kaijun gritted his teeth, gathering chakra inside him.
After a long period of study and trial, he had nearly perfected the Chidori technique.
Seventy percent of the progress was his own doing, and the other thirty percent was thanks to his girlfriend's help.
Uchiha Kochou, an ordinary chunin with no remarkable features other than her sweet and cute appearance.
By chance, Kaijun had saved her from danger, and since then, they had fallen deeply in love and never left each other's side.
Without his girlfriend's encouragement and support, Kaijun might have given up long ago.
As a person who had crossed Kyosuke, there were many who wanted to take their frustrations out on him, especially the barbarian army returning from the south.
Without the clan leader's protection and his girlfriend's encouragement, Kaijun might have already ended up dead in some filthy gutter.
Looking at his girlfriend, who was silently wiping sweat off his forehead, Uchiha Kaijun swore he would never let anyone harm her.
Just as he was about to steal a moment alone with his girlfriend, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.
Turning around, Kaijun's face instantly changed. His Sharingan activated, and he quickly pulled his girlfriend behind him.
"What do you want?" he demanded, his voice cold.
Hearing this, the visitor looks very hurt. "Come on, is there something wrong with wanting to meet my own brother?"
"Brother?"
Uchiha Kaijun fought to keep his anger in check and tried to sound calm. "We've met now, but I have things to do, so I won't be accompanying you."
He started to pull his girlfriend away, but just as he took a step forward, a kunai appeared right at his neck.
"I didn't say you could leave," Kyosuke said with a cold smile, his gaze turning to the defiant girl.
"Ah, so this is my sister-in-law. How delicate and soft. Even I, as a younger brother, can't help but feel tempted."
With Kaijun glaring murderously at him, Kyosuke reached out and began to caress Kochou's face.
"Do you want the complete method for mastering Chidori?" Kyosuke suddenly brought up the important point.
Upon hearing this, Kaijun's heart sank as he realized the secret had been exposed.
"If you can't produce the completed technique, our dear clan leader won't let you off." Kyosuke's gaze then shifted to Kochou.
"You wouldn't want him to suffer the clan leader's punishment, right?"
"What do you want?" Kochou asked, tears in her eyes as her body trembled slightly.
Despite her fear, her face still showed defiance—much more than her boyfriend.
"Want to learn Chidori? I can teach you." Kyosuke kicked Kaijun aside and grabbed Kochou's hands, pulling her into his embrace.
"A perfect opportunity. You should consider it carefully. I'm not someone who forces others."
Releasing her, Kyosuke shot Kaijun a disdainful look and used his Body Flicker jutsu to leave the area.
Behind him, Kaijun, who had been holding back, finally exploded.
"Uchiha Kyosuke, one day, I'll personally kill you!!!"
