This time, both of them answered Yuuki's question almost without hesitation or discussion.
"That's because even though you did all of this, you trampled the honor of the entire Uchiha Clan!"
"Exactly, the Uchiha's honor cannot be trampled!"
Watching them fumble even with grand declarations, the smile on Yuuki's face widened.
"Oh? The Uchiha's honor? Tell me, what is the Uchiha's honor?"
"Of course it's..."
Just as the two were about to loudly tell Yuuki what the Uchiha's honor was, they both, without exception, got stuck.
What is the Uchiha's honor?
These people chanted this slogan every day, yet couldn't even explain what the slogan meant.
It's been years for this group of guys; forget accomplishing anything, they haven't even acted, just lurking, lurking...
Without a guiding ideology, how could they succeed!
Actually, both knew what the 'honor' they spoke of was, but such things were simply understood by everyone, so why should it be explicitly stated?
Tekka and Inabi exchanged glances again. They truly were brothers; a single look was enough to understand each other's thoughts.
Both spoke again, changing the subject.
"Anyway, although you've achieved great things, you've sacrificed the Uchiha's honor. For example, Uchiha Shisui, that guy, constantly tarnishes the Uchiha Clan's reputation!"
"Exactly, and even now, he's still continuously tarnishing the Uchiha Clan's reputation!"
Originally, the two wanted to include Yuuki, after all, Yuuki spent all his time with other small families in Konoha, which was truly a disgrace to the Uchiha Clan.
In their eyes, apart from the Uchiha Clan, all other families were small families.
The only family the Uchiha considered an equal great family was the Senju Clan, but now the Senju Clan had disbanded, leaving only the Uchiha as a great family in the entire Ninja World.
For the head of a great family to proactively build relationships with small families from time to time was a disgrace!
Shouldn't the small families be the ones to come knocking, seeking allegiance? And whoever dared not come, should be annihilated!
However, they dared not say these words in front of Yuuki, only daring to complain in private.
After speaking, the two exchanged glances again, then spoke in succession.
"Not just Shisui, but also the Military Police Force. Why should those small families, civilian Ninja, and even those ordinary civilians who aren't Ninja, be members of the Military Police Force alongside the Uchiha Clan?"
"Exactly, the great Uchiha working in the same department as others is a trampling of the Uchiha's honor!"
"..."
Afterward, Tekka and Inabi added many other things to substantiate their claims.
However, they cleverly avoided mentioning Yuuki's affairs.
After speaking, both felt utterly relieved. Three years, do you know how a large group of us brothers have lived these three years?
Every day facing everything that displeased them, even though they were the normal ones, they had to mingle among a group of people with mental issues.
To avoid being exposed, they even had to act crazier than the others!
It was simply too difficult!
They had originally placed their hopes on Yashiro, hoping he would awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan and lead them to rise.
But today they discovered that Yashiro was also quite ill. So what exactly were they pretending for these three years?!
When the culprit was right in front of them, the two couldn't hold back and vented their frustrations to their heart's content.
The reason they didn't vent on Yuuki was because they had heard earlier that Yuuki wouldn't kill them. Since they wouldn't die, there was no need to seek death.
It was better to preserve their useful lives and continue striving for the great cause!
However, both were prepared to accept severe punishment, but showed no fear whatsoever.
Being able to vent years of pent-up frustration was simply too satisfying!
Especially since this was in front of Yuuki!
After Tekka and Inabi finished speaking, they held their heads high, looking as if they were done pretending and laying all their cards on the table.
Their eyes, moreover, looked at Yuuki with the unique pride of the Uchiha Clan.
They were the spitting image of a tough guy who, although he couldn't beat you, would never surrender.
Yuuki looked at these people, speechless. This was already more restrained than before.
After all, three years ago, during the period when Yuuki had just returned victorious from the Hidden Mist.
According to Yashiro, these deranged guys wanted to commit suicide in front of Konoha to create a grand spectacle for him.
Something about the Uchiha Clan being a clan of blood and fire, and if blood must be shed, they were willing to be the first!
They only wished to awaken the Uchiha Clan's fighting spirit.
To some extent, these people had changed slightly over these three years; at the very least, they no longer thought about 'honorable death' all the time.
Indeed, there are oddities everywhere in the Ninja World, and the Uchiha Clan has a particularly large number of them!
Yuuki had never actually thought of killing them. After all, not long after becoming clan head, the victory against Danzo had won over the hearts of most clan members.
As for after dealing with Danzo, and with no threat of clan annihilation, these guys hadn't caused any trouble. Through Yashiro, they had even become exceptionally obedient and useful.
Honestly, those with ulterior motives are often very useful, like Kisame before.
Yuuki, unfazed by their demeanor, asked again.
"You still haven't answered my question. What exactly is the Uchiha's honor?"
Tekka and Inabi exchanged glances.
Are you trying to make things difficult for us brothers?
Their initial heroic, ready-for-martyrdom expressions faltered, but they still refused to answer Yuuki's question, showing a defiant lack of cooperation.
Seeing this, Yuuki stopped pressing and continued to speak.
"After hearing so much from you, let me summarize it for you: aren't you just trying to bully others by relying on your power? Ultimately, you just want to bully people!"
Tekka and Inabi's expressions changed abruptly, their faces flushing slightly.
Saying it out loud takes all the fun out of it!
Looking at their expressions, Yuuki felt contempt in his heart. How thin-skinned!
"Why aren't you speaking? You want to do it but don't want to admit it? Where is the honor of your Uchiha Clan?"
With Yuuki having exposed their deepest thoughts, the two no longer spoke of honor. Tekka was the first to speak.
"The Ninja World is just like this. As the strongest Ninja Clan, the Uchiha Clan is powerful. What's wrong with bullying others? It's their honor!"
"Exactly, the weak are meant to submit to the strong!"
