Chapter 67: You Dare Touch Me? Uchiha Kazuhiko's Rage Awakens the Sharingan?
The shadow clone's current motto is to never back down or show fear. If you dare to touch me, I will explode right in your face.
Even if this causes trouble for the main body, the main body can handle it. He has been in urgent need of sparring partners recently...
Might Dai suggested that he seek out opponents of similar strength to practice taijutsu. Only this way can he improve quickly in taijutsu. Practicing alone behind closed doors without real combat is not enough.
In the original story, Might Guy and Rock Lee often went to other dojos to challenge others. Finding a suitable opponent is not easy.
The shadow clone's behavior in the clan today is almost like "challenging a dojo," directly maxing out the hatred meter. It seems Uchiha Fugaku and his group are about to lose their patience and attack.
Right now, a group of people can no longer focus on eating. At least twenty young men have surrounded Ryun, as if they are about to attack at any moment.
Uchiha Seimaru and others watching this scene turn pale. They don't even dare to stand up and voice their support, let alone step forward to back him up.
Uchiha Fugaku is famous within the clan. At a young age, he has awakened the Sharingan. His talent, strength, and connections are unmatched among his peers.
For a group of newly graduated, or even ungraduated, small fries like them, provoking Fugaku is unthinkable.
"What, bullying the few with numbers?"
"Or do you want to break the clan's rules? Fighting during the clan meeting?"
Ryun now stands out like a crane among chickens, surrounded by a group of furious "roosters." Despite being in a dangerous situation, he shows no fear or panic.
This surprises a group of girls watching from a distance.
Ryun's courage is extraordinary. Facing a crowd of opponents, he remains calm and composed. This kind of demeanor is rare for boys his age. They have never seen such a scene before...
They have seen stubborn people, but never someone this stubborn.
He looks very pretty, but his attitude is extremely manly. This stark contrast makes the girls "unable to resist," and they can't help but worry for him.
"What, all of you look like you want to eat me alive? If that's the case, stop surrounding me. Whoever wants to fight, come at me!"
Ryun dances on the edge of death. As soon as he says this, the young men are all provoked into anger, eager to take action.
But his next words make them instantly change their expressions, and they no longer dare to act recklessly.
"Uchiha Fugaku, the grandson of the clan's elder, leads a fight during the clan meeting and breaks the rules. If this spreads to the elders' ears, everyone will surely remember Fugaku very well, right?"
After saying this, Ryun's face reveals a sinister smile.
"If you have the guts, touch me. If not, stop surrounding me. A bunch of bootlickers who aren't even grandsons, what are you trying to prove here?"
At this moment, all the young people in the area lose interest in eating and switch to watching the drama...
Ryun keeps provoking, roasting everyone around him until they are thoroughly humiliated. A group of lackeys grit their teeth in anger, but they are all watching Uchiha Fugaku's reaction and don't dare to actually break the rules by fighting.
Fighting during the clan meeting, even if it's because they are young and impulsive, violates the clan rules. According to the rules, they would be severely punished and confined for several days.
They can stand up for Fugaku, but if they break the clan rules, not even Fugaku, their parents, or the elder can protect them.
Without rules, there is no order. The Uchiha clan's development to its current scale relies on strict discipline.
"Everyone, stop!"
Uchiha Fugaku shouts angrily, his face dark with fury.
As his voice falls, the crowd surrounding Ryun takes a few steps back.
The boss has spoken, and as lackeys, they have no choice but to obey.
"People should know their limits. People should also have a sense of reverence. Unfortunately, you understand none of this..."
As Uchiha Fugaku says this, he reveals his one-tomoe Sharingan in front of everyone.
The oppressive crimson eyes make the crowd gasp.
"Speaking arrogantly during the clan meeting, even publicly insulting others—according to the clan rules, you should be slapped ten times."
Uchiha Fugaku coldly uses the clan rules as a weapon.
Slap slap slap!!!
The sound of slapping rings out, but it's not Ryun being slapped. Instead, he is clapping his hands on his own...
While clapping, he gives Uchiha Fugaku a thumbs-up.
"As expected of the elder's grandson, you know the clan rules well."
"But the clan rules aren't for you to abuse for personal revenge. You can't just randomly 'frame' others, or people will say you lack fairness and lose your dignity..."
"I admit I spoke arrogantly, but accusing me of publicly insulting others? I don't accept that charge."
Ryun says this while pushing aside two genin blocking his way... His attitude is outrageously bold, but his aura stuns the young boys, making them instinctively step back.
"That guy earlier emphasized that Fugaku is the elder's grandson. I also emphasized that you are a grandson. If others can emphasize it without issue, but I can't, does that mean I'm publicly insulting you? I have great respect for the elder."
Ryun walks right up to Uchiha Fugaku. The two stare at each other, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife.
He is a full head shorter than Uchiha Fugaku, but his presence is no weaker. This scene amazes the watching clansmen.
"Sharp tongue. What about Kazuhiko? Didn't you publicly insult Kazuhiko? Don't you even have the courage to admit your mistake?"
Fugaku suppresses his anger, not letting rage cloud his judgment.
At this moment, even Ryun has to admit that Fugaku is very composed. No wonder he became the second clan leader after Uchiha Madara.
If this were any other spoiled second-generation, they would have already lost their temper and attacked... No, even someone with a slightly impatient personality might not be able to hold back. But this guy remains cool-headed.
"Uchiha Kazuhiko? Isn't the nickname 'White-Eyed Wolf' widely recognized? Besides, this nickname didn't even start with me. If everyone can call him that, why can't I?"
"If you accuse me of insulting him, then I can say you called me 'Little Brat.' Doesn't that mean you publicly insulted me too?"
"You... You're twisting logic and confusing right and wrong!" Fugaku has never seen someone so shameless.
"What logic am I twisting? Aren't I stating facts? Stop pretending in front of the clansmen. Everyone knows Kazuhiko is your lackey. You just want to stand up for him, right? Stop pretending!"
"Taking in a white-eyed wolf like Kazuhiko as your subordinate? I can only say Fugaku has real guts. Your virtue is truly remarkable..."
Ryun's last sentence is directed at the clansmen.
"You're talking nonsense!!!"
Before Uchiha Fugaku can lose his temper, Uchiha Kazuhiko is the first to snap...
This time, he really awakens his Sharingan!
