Chapter 75 Are you going to support him?
Seeing his son's hesitant and indecisive expression, Kuranosuke felt equally distressed.
Those thin, frail shoulders were forced to bear this weight alone...
Takita's mind raced. He really didn't want to lose all contact with the Uchiha clan just like that; there were still people he missed there.
However, how could the fate of the entire Feathered Robe Clan be decided by one's own selfish desires? If one makes the wrong decision, the entire clan will be plunged into utter ruin.
Kuranosuke knew that Takita wouldn't be able to figure it out right away; in fact, he himself was struggling with it...
The Uchiha clan has always been incredibly kind and supportive of the Hagoromo clan.
However, the current elite combat power of the Feathered Robe Clan is completely insufficient, and with fewer and fewer missions being taken on, the supplies allocated from the Daming Prefecture are also gradually becoming inadequate...
If they continue to fight the Senju clan to the death, and maintain a strange stability with only minor skirmishes, they can hold out for a few more years. But if it erupts... the very foundation of the clan may collapse in an instant.
"Son, come here for a second..." Kuranosuke beckoned to Takita.
Takita was a little confused, but he still went over.
This was not the usual father-son relationship; Takita's mindset now rested between his clan and the clan leader. Gone was his former arrogance, for he was determined to become stronger, to become more formidable.
After Takita walked over, his father immediately hugged him, instantly shattering Takita's carefully constructed serious demeanor...
"dad...?"
"Son, tell your father the truth, do you really care about the Uchiha clan? Or... do you really care about that kid Yan Yi?"
Kuranosuke cut to the chase and directly asked Takita what was on his mind.
The little boy's emotions were impossible to hide, and how could Kuranosuke not see through his son's little thoughts? He didn't necessarily want to stop his son from seeking his own happiness, but Kuranosuke had no choice... What should be done about the Hagoromo clan?
Takita's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and met his father's serious gaze. He had originally intended to brush it off, but was that really the right thing to do?
After hesitating for a moment, Takita finally admitted, "Yes... I like him very much."
"Then do you know..."
Just as Kuranosuke was about to say something, Takita interrupted him.
"I know! My feelings are not allowed... I must bear the fate of the Feathered Robe Clan, I must become the clan leader, and I must let go of those emotions! I still have so many things I must..."
As he spoke, Takita broke down emotionally. He thought he had prepared himself mentally and wouldn't break down easily, but when faced with the choice, he still couldn't hold back.
Kuranosuke loved his son very much, but he didn't know how to care for him.
Did you think that just giving him the best of everything and playing the role of a kind father would be enough?
Like a stranger who only gives money and smiles every day, Takita was disrespectful to his father, but he never opened his heart to him.
"Son, it's all my fault... Your mother died young, and she didn't have the chance to give you a younger brother. It's also my fault... that your brothers all died young..." Kuranosuke gently patted Takita's back, his heart aching terribly.
Now, Takita has to bear everything alone, to the point that he doesn't even have the right to choose his own life.
Everything seemed like heavy shackles, imprisoning his free wings.
But Kuranosuke had no choice... The Hagoromo clan could not lose its leader, or it would surely perish.
"Think it over carefully... It's my fault. I didn't spend enough time with you, and I didn't give you enough love..."
Kuranosuke's eyes turned melancholy, but he remained rational.
Changing the subject, Kuranosuke continued to say to Takita, "If you don't want to be separated from him, and you want to pursue the life you love, then go for it. Go... keep training hard..."
......
Takita left, walking alone on his way back to his room.
His peers in the clan all avoided him; not a single one approached him to speak. Although they were all affected by his bad temper, he figured it was better to ignore their insincere concern and the gossip behind his back...
Only one word...
After thinking it over, Takita made up his mind and hurriedly ran back to his room.
"I want to bring peace to the clan! And I will continue to overcome these difficulties together with the Uchiha!"
He gritted his teeth. Even though he didn't have any good solutions, this was the decision he had made. He had a strange intuition that even if he severed ties with the Uchiha clan this time, the clan wouldn't last long.
He believed in himself, and he also believed in Yan Yi and the Uchiha clan.
"I want it all!"
Takita clenched his fist, sat down at his desk, opened his notebook and scroll, and began to study.
......
In the Uchiha clan compound, the three sons of the Tajima family stood in a row in front of their father, listening attentively to his words.
"Yan Yi, you've been gone for over a week. Have you had any particular thoughts?" Tajima's question was strange, but his expression was very serious.
"A special idea...?"
Yan Yi scratched his head, unsure of what his father meant. Although he had analyzed it before, he still didn't quite understand...
Tajima paused, then rephrased his question, "Um... well, how are things going with that young master Yu Yi? Are you happy?"
"Uh...it's great. He's a very nice person and he cares about me a lot..."
Yan Yi felt a little awkward; he still couldn't bring himself to say that Takita liked him.
However, Tajima knew these kids' thoughts all too well... Yan Yi couldn't have imagined it, but Tajima knew that the young master in feather robes would most likely give him a surprise.
Manipulating people's hearts... utilizing everything that can be used.
Even though Tajima didn't want to do this, he had no choice but to do it now.
He knew very well that his longtime ally, Kuranosuke, was not an ungrateful fellow. As long as that young master played even the slightest role, this opportunity would come.
"I'm glad you had fun... There's one more thing. We're planning to test the waters with the Senju recently... followed by the final attack."
Tajima's voice was calm, as if he were talking about something insignificant.
Upon hearing this, Madara couldn't help but ask, "Do we really have to fight this time? We don't actually need to waste time with them..."
Tajima frowned and interrupted him directly, "Don't forget, your brother almost died at their hands. You want peace, that's not wrong, but you have to subdue them first..."
He understood his eldest son's thoughts, but given the current situation, it was highly unlikely.
Tajima knew Senju Butsuma better than he did himself. Even if he didn't seize the opportunity to strike first this time, Senju wouldn't come to thank him with gifts later.
"I see..."
The younger brother is Madara's weakness, and also his Achilles' heel; no one can harm him. If we're talking about innocence... at least the younger brother is innocent.
Now that he has to fight the Senju, Madara has no choice but to fight them. He wants to prevent his clansmen from making unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifices, but he can't do that right now.
Seeing that Ban had agreed, Tajima simply nodded, but soon he looked at Yan Yi again with a somewhat ambiguous expression.
"Yan Yi, what are you planning to do with that Thousand Hands brat you caught? Don't tell me you're going to raise him."
"Father! I..."
Yan Yi's words stuck in his throat; he didn't know what to say.
