As Fujitora's influence grew, so too did the complexity of the political landscape within the Arasaka clan. Yorinobu, fueled by envy and ambition, sought to undermine his younger brother at every turn. He spread rumors of Fujitora's disloyalty, questioned his methods, and even attempted to sabotage his missions.

Fujitora, however, was not easily swayed. He had learned to navigate the treacherous waters of Arasaka politics, anticipating his brother's every move. He countered Yorinobu's machinations with a combination of cunning, diplomacy, and unwavering loyalty to his family.One evening, during a lavish banquet held in the Arasaka Tower, Yorinobu confronted Fujitora in front of a crowd of influential guests.

He accused Fujitora of overstepping his bounds, of acting without authorization, of endangering the Arasaka's interests.Fujitora, unfazed by his brother's accusations, calmly responded. He pointed out the flaws in Yorinobu's arguments, highlighting his own successes and the positive outcomes of his actions. He spoke with eloquence and conviction, his words resonating with the assembled guests.Yorinobu, realizing he was losing the battle of public opinion, resorted to a more personal attack.

He questioned Fujitora's loyalty to the Arasaka clan, insinuating that he was secretly working against their interests.Fujitora's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint in their depths. He knew that Yorinobu was playing a dangerous game, one that could have dire consequences for the entire Arasaka family.

"My loyalty to the Arasaka clan is unwavering," Fujitora said, his voice ringing with authority.

"I have dedicated my life to protecting our family's interests, to ensuring our continued prosperity and dominance. My actions, though sometimes unconventional, are always in service to this goal.

"He paused, letting his words sink in. Then, he turned to Yorinobu and delivered a final blow."Unlike you, brother," he said, his voice dripping with disdain,

"I do not seek power for myself. I do not crave recognition or glory.

My only desire is to serve the Arasaka clan, to uphold our honor and tradition.

"Yorinobu, stung by Fujitora's words, was speechless. He had underestimated his younger brother, misjudged his resolve. He had unleashed a serpent's tongue, a weapon far more dangerous than any blade or bullet.The guests, sensing a shift in the balance of power, began to murmur amongst themselves.
