The moment Aoi Ren pointed his finger, Uchiha Yuuya immediately understood what had happened.
As the saying goes, it is easy to deal with powerful figures, but troublesome to handle petty tyrants—Captain Aoi must have been harassed and made things difficult by his cousin Moni!
At this point, Uchiha Yuuya still had not realized just how serious the situation really was...
It was only after the Bald Head Director recounted everything he had seen that Uchiha Yuuya finally understood: his cousin was done for.
Not even God could save him!
Slap!
With a loud, heavy sound, Uchiha Emiki's face turned icy cold as he struck Uchiha Moni hard across the cheek. "You absolute fool, to have done something so foolish and offensive. You are hereby confined to your quarters for one year!"
"Confined for one year?"
Upon hearing this punishment, everyone present—including Uchiha Yuuya—was completely stunned. Even setting aside Aoi Ren's numerous remarkable achievements and status, and looking only at his position as an ANBU Captain...
This punishment was far too lenient!
In fact, it wasn't really a punishment at all—it was simply another way of protecting him!
"How interesting!" Aoi Ren narrowed his eyes. Just as expected: when those in high positions are arrogant and conceited, those below them naturally grow bold enough to look down on everyone else!
"Well then, Captain Aoi Ren, are you satisfied with this punishment?" Uchiha Emiki looked him up and down with undisguised contempt. Although his words sounded like an apology, his tone carried the clear implication that he was doing Aoi Ren a great favor!
It was as if he were saying: That is quite enough. Receiving an apology from our Uchiha clan is a blessing you have earned through three lifetimes of good fortune. If you do not appreciate it, then do not blame us for turning hostile!
"Satisfied? I am very satisfied indeed!"
Aoi Ren grinned broadly, revealing eight white teeth against his pink gums, his smile appearing bright and brilliant. "Uchiha Moni is wonderful, and the entire Uchiha clan is absolutely wonderful!"
Seeing this, the Bald Head Director, who knew Aoi Ren very well, could not help but tremble. He knew that Aoi Ren was now burning with rage and could easily turn violent at any moment!
But just as Aoi Ren was about to eliminate these two men on the spot, Uchiha Yuuya grabbed his arm with a look of desperate pleading.
"Captain, let us go inside first. After all, today is Fugaku's birthday celebration."
Aoi Ren thought for a moment, then nodded and stepped into the Uchiha compound...
Some things did not need to be spoken aloud!
As far as Aoi Ren was concerned, both Uchiha Moni and Uchiha Emiki had already been sentenced to death. For now, he would simply let these two living corpses enjoy their final days of arrogance and pride!
Upon entering the compound, Aoi Ren was immediately escorted to the seats reserved for honored guests, where he sat alongside the highest-ranking elders of the Uchiha clan.
Yet Aoi Ren felt no sense of joy or honor from this arrangement...
He had noticed that the way these elders looked at him was exactly the same as Uchiha Emiki's attitude. While they showed respect on the surface, deep within their eyes lay nothing but disdain, treating him as nothing more than an upstart who had recently gained power and status!
"What a truly repulsive clan!" Aoi Ren observed them coldly. At this moment, he could finally understand, to some extent, Itachi's seemingly unthinkable decision to wipe out his entire family...
There was no complicated reason—they simply deserved it!
However, perhaps because heavy responsibility brings with it a measure of restraint and clarity, the heads of the Uchiha clan had always been the most level-headed among them. The current clan head, Uchiha Makoto, offered his apologies to Aoi Ren in a tactful and sincere manner.
"I hope this incident will not affect the opinion you hold of our clan, Captain Aoi."
But was that even possible?
"Clan Head Makoto, you must understand that the problem with the Uchiha does not lie with me, nor does it lie with just one or two individuals within your clan."
Aoi Ren shook his head with a cold smile: the very roots of the Uchiha clan were rotten through and through!
Uchiha Makoto let out a long sigh, but before he could speak further, Uchiha Mikoto came over carrying the infant Fugaku in her arms. "Dear, what are you all talking about here?"
"Nothing of importance." A warm smile naturally spread across Uchiha Makoto's face. "This is my son, Uchiha Fugaku!"
