Chapter 103 : Obedient Uchiha!

"Not only did you lose the battle, but you let yourselves be captured one by one! This is your gravest mistake!

After speaking, Kazuhiko's composed eyes immediately turned piercing, fixing on all the Uzumaki clan members present.

Upon hearing Kazuhiko's words, the other clan members were even more astonished. "Is this our fault?"

"Of course! Look at me!"

Kazuhiko roared, and everyone instinctively turned their attention to him, hesitating at the moment.

This marked the first instance they witnessed Kazuhiko's anger. Many times, in their hearts, Kazuhiko was a formidable and benevolent figure, a uniquely aloof presence.

However, today Kazuhiko displayed anger, an unquestionable facet of it.

Kazuhiko looked at them and said deliberately, "Your greatest mistake is your lack of strength! It's that you couldn't defeat those Uchihas!

"As for the rest—whether you should fight or bother me—those are all trivial matters!"

"Your mistakes have always been rooted in your own weaknesses!"

"If you were strong enough, would you be confined here? If you were swift enough, could they catch you?"

"Even if you exercised a bit of foresight, would a simple provocation lead to your capture? Were you all ensnared?"

"I told you, be the reasonable ones who don't bully others. If you have problems, seek companions elsewhere. If others can't solve it, find an elder. If an elder can't handle it, I, as Clan Head, will intervene!

"It's my responsibility now!"

"Yet, you still necessitate my direct involvement in such matters. What does that expose? Your weakness. Your strength and reasoning are far weaker than you believe!"

Upon hearing Kazuhiko's words, all Uzumaki present blushed; this time, they were ashamed of their own feebleness.

Their eyes conveyed the pain of their own inadequacy.

"So, tell me again, what was your mistake?"

This time, everyone gasped heavily, looking at their patriarch with reddened eyes, shouting in unison.

"Our mistake is that we are too weak!"

"We are too weak!"

"For such a trivial matter, we can only rely on Kazuhiko. We are indeed too weak!"

Having admitted this, many even gritted their teeth, harboring resentment for their own fragility.

They couldn't wait to run around Konoha for a few laps, immediately beginning their journey to become stronger.

Kazuhiko nodded with satisfaction. "That's good. Remember this day and acknowledge your weakness.

"Remember your own shortcomings, and step by step, become stronger!

"From now on, you must continually strive for strength!"

"Yes!! Kazuhiko-sama!!!"

All the Uzumaki roared in Konoha's guardhouse!

Kazuhiko then walked out of the cell with everyone.

Upon entering the hall, the Uzumaki clan members observed a group of Uchiha individuals bowing respectfully.

Despite their sweaty faces and shaky legs, it was evident they had been bending over for an extended period. Only with Kazuhiko's permission did they dare to rise.

Seeing Kazuhiko and the other clan members, Fumito hurried over and said joyfully.

"Kazuhiko-sama, I've been keeping an eye on them, and none of them have attempted to escape!"

Kazuhiko expressed his satisfaction, observing the many Uchiha individuals who could no longer endure.

"Alright, I'm pleased. Rise!"

Following Kazuhiko's words, all the Uchiha clansmen gratefully expressed their thanks, "We appreciate the kindness of Kazuhiko-sama!"

Immediately, he stood upright, observing the well-mannered and composed Uchiha individuals before him. The Uzumaki onlookers were taken aback.

Witnessing everyone bow and apologize was surprising enough, but the moment Kazuhiko uttered a word, the Uchiha members ceased their bows and instead expressed gratitude for his kindness.

Among them, many Uchiha had once been adversaries, displaying arrogance and disrespect in past encounters. However, in the presence of Kazuhiko, they were now more obedient than kittens and dogs.

Kazuhiko and Fumito, considering this behavior normal, were oblivious to the frustration brewing among other Uzumaki clan members.

"Indeed, strength is paramount! We are still too weak!"

The pressure exerted by Kazuhiko's Reiatsu had a profound effect on those accustomed to Konoha's prestige, many of whom had never truly faced the harsh reality of battle.

Uchiha Madara had been the shadow in the life of Third Tsuchikage Onoki, and now, Kazuhiko played a similar role in the lives of the Uchiha clan.

Kazuhiko, without much consideration, regarded this as routine. Handling matters in this manner proved convenient; often, a mere glance was enough to resolve issues without direct intervention.

He left with the Uzumaki clan in tow, receiving respectful salutes from all the Uchiha present.

"Take care!"

"We apologize for the inconvenience!"

Kazuhiko departed without acknowledging their words, and the Uchiha felt no shame in the lack of response.

As Kazuhiko reached the door, he noticed a group approaching. Ninjas and ordinary villagers comprised this gathering.

"If you wish for their apology, you cannot allow the Uzumaki clan to depart so easily!"
