章 5: Chapter 5 : Kazuhiko vs First Elder
"It's a duel, no need for pretense. I once hoped we could understand each other's opinions after this."
"But now, for the future of the Uzumaki clan, I will reveal my true strength to you."
Just as Uzumaki Kazuhiko was about to showcase his abilities directly to everyone.
"What nonsense!"
The elders on the side had already assumed that Kazuhiko was boasting.
They didn't believe a word of what Kazuhiko had said.
"What strength? Just you? I'm here today, come and demonstrate!"
"Our Uzumaki clan despises big talkers the most. Has no one challenged you before?"
"Today, I'll test your abilities. If you can truly defeat me, I'll acknowledge you, and I'll follow your lead from now on! Otherwise, keep your mouth shut and spare us your embarrassment here!"
"First Elder..." Others quickly tried to persuade him.
After all, he is the future clan head, even if they thought Kazuhiko was boasting. They couldn't let Kazuhiko back down.
Kazuhiko felt displeased and angered by these words, muttering inwardly.
"Fine, fine, First Elder, you truly are my best supporter!
"Impressive, showing your real skills with real weapons and real battles!"
Kazuhiko's eyes gleamed without waiting for others to intervene, and he warned directly,"Alright, I'll accept your challenge today! Let's go to the duel arena, come!"
After he finished speaking, Kazuhiko was concerned that others might stall and pretend, so he immediately headed to the duel field.
"I'll head to the duel arena as well. I'll deal with you in just a few moves."
After watching Kazuhiko rush straight to the duel arena, they didn't bother listening to the rest of his words.
The First Elder, who had intended to continue with harsh words, suddenly fell silent.
Soon, the fiery temper of the Uzumaki clan surfaced once more.
"Then let's go to the duel arena! If I defeat you in front of everyone, don't blame me for not showing respect to the future clan head!"
After speaking, the first elder glanced at the composed clan head, Uzumaki Kiyoshi .
Seeing his lack of objection, he immediately followed Kazuhiko.
This was the way of the Uzumaki clan. In cases of disagreement, they settled matters through duels in the duel arena. The victor would have the right to speak!
Such practices were not uncommon in the Uzumaki clan, which held strong martial values. Even the clan leaders and elders occasionally engaged in such duels.
Now that everyone witnessed both parties heading to the duel arena, there was no turning back. They all followed suit!
Uzumaki Kiyoshi sat alone in the main seat and lifted a teacup.
"Kazuhiko, are you truly concealing your strength?"
"If so, then I'll watch and see. The Uzumaki clan is truly in need of a prodigy."
In the blink of an eye, he swiftly left the conference hall.
Along the way, other clan members watched as everyone streamed out suddenly.
Conversations were exchanged.
"Elders, are they duelling again? Who's duelling this time?"
"It's the future clan head and the first elder!"
Soon, the word spread that a duel was about to take place between the future clan head and the first elder.
Uzumaki clan members within their house stepped outside to witness the spectacle.
"A duel between the future clan head and the first elder... This is unprecedented!"
"We mustn't miss this!"
"Absolutely, let's go watch!"
"Don't be late, we'll miss the action!"
As this sentiment echoed, a peculiar smirk appeared on the lips of everyone, much like the squinting-smile emoji.
Evidently, they held the same belief. As for who would triumph, naturally, they expected the head elder to outshine the future clan head!
Their confidence in the prowess of the Great Elder was unwavering.
As for the future clan head, he was too young and inexperienced in battle. Without a doubt, the first elder would prevail!
Each had their own thoughts, but they all converged towards the scene.
Kazuhiko had already reached the duel field, which doubled as a training ground for the clan members.
At this moment, numerous clan members were practising on the training ground.
They noticed Kazuhiko and those accompanying him.
Drawing from their extensive experience, they swiftly recognized another duel about to unfold.
They vacated a considerable space.
All eyes were on the two contenders, Kazuhiko and the First Elder, positioned in the center of the open area.
"Come, give it your all. Today, I'll teach you a lesson, you ignorant fool!"
"I'll make sure an arrogant individual like you understands the value of respecting your seniors and cherishing the young!"
The head elder addressed Kazuhiko with a booming voice.
"Such grandiose words!" Kazuhiko retorted, "Time is limited now, let's get on with it!"
"Remember what you say. If you lose, you'll do as I say!"
With those words, Kazuhiko looked not only at the elders but also at everyone present.
All understood the implications behind his statement. Uzumaki Kiyoshi observed in silence, then spoke up,"If you win, the fate of the Uzumaki clan will be shaped according to your plan!"
Upon hearing the patriarch's words, others chimed in.
"Yes, the victor's decision prevails!"
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Kazuhiko's lips.
"Very well!"
With that, he turned his gaze to the first Elder before him.
"Let's begin, then!"
Despite the elder's disdain for Kazuhiko, he couldn't underestimate him completely.
He clenched their fists in readiness, their attention fixed on Kazuhiko's every movement.
"What's that!?"
As everyone watched, a golden light enveloped Kazuhiko's form, transforming him into a streak of light.
"Kick!"
With no unnecessary flair, Kazuhiko morphed into a beam of light, akin to teleportation.
He appeared right before the First Elder, and with a resounding thud, launched a straightforward kick!
"Boom!"
