Most of them were trying as hard to deceive the others as Reijo, his father, was. So for that reason he didn't listen to just the words, he listened to how they were said, which words were picked and who said them. Reijo seemed relatively calm, but Yamato could feel the anger in him rising as the Hojo woman spoke. Something knacked for Yamato, but he managed to stay calm for the time being, listening to the next one that spoke. [i]..Maru..[/i] This time it wasn't Yamato that seemed irked, it was Reijo. He squinted with his eyes and looked at Kaito Maru, but ultimately his face cleared when it became clear that Kaito was actually being agreeable. Reijo and Kaito had had 'trouble' before, and it wasn't something easily forgotten by Reijo. Next was the Hyuga, politically correct as always, ignoring that Kaito did have a point. But they sided with the same side that Reijo was on, a good sign for Reijo. Yamato was pleased, also. Not because of the Hyuga support, but because Chihiro was apparently missing. One less cursed child with a kekkei genkai in this village, he softly thought to himself as he sat in his chair, switching his gaze to the Naito ruler. The Naito-Minamoru feud had only grown larger ever since the incident surrounding the paint on the Minamoru's household. Ever since, most of the Minamoru members had blamed Daiki, Yamato included. It was a disrespectful act, and it wouldn't be forgotten. The Minamoru remember the things others did to them, both good and bad.. Reijo similarily looked at the woman with distrust. She spoke short. Didn't offer information, or knowledge, no wisdom or opinions. Just short answers. She supported Ayame. It was good enough for now, as there was more to worry about than paint on walls. She gave the word to Daiki.. and suddenly, Yamato found his vision blurred. He recognised it.. it was tunnel vision. His entire vision was limited to Daiki, only able to look at him and that damn set of eyes of his.. even without the sharingan, Yamato could recognise it mentally. He was scum, trash, [i]cursed[/i]. His eyebrows dove inwards and he frowned deeply at Daiki, listening to his words but refusing to acknowledge them. Even when Daiki spoke sense, when he berated the Hojo for being too cowardly to make a choice, Yamato breezed in anger, silently to himself. Reijo shot Yamato a quick glance, noticing something was off, but hadn't the time or the moment to say something. He was forced to watch as Yamato internally made ready for conflict. It was when Daiki slid his chair back that Yamato stood up quickly, and with great force, pushing his chair back similarily, sending it sliding across the hall, before crashing against the wall with a thud. His fist went up and then down, crashing into the table, shaking the entire structure of the table. He was breezing with anger, now, the wheezing sound spreading throughout the entire hall. Reijo's hand shot out towards the side, attempting to pacify Yamato, but his hand missed his mark and by then it was too late to do anything. Reijo's stern face was maintained aimed at the center of the table, trying to come up with an idea how to minimize this outburst. But Yamato spoke too quickly, rather, yelled too quickly. [color=9e0039][b]“OI! DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE, YOU COWARD!”[/b][/color] he yelled, his fist slowly going up before pointing out a finger towards Daiki. [color=9e0039][b]“This isn't about you.. you idiot.. this is about Konoha. If you think, for just a moment, that me or my father is here to safeguard our own interests, then you are wrong! We are here to [i]protect[/i] those we hold closely! Don't you dare say another word about my father. He is a more honorable man, a more honorable father than your piece of shit father ever was...”[/b][/color] The entire hall was now dipped in silence as they heard Yamato speak out against Daiki, an eternal rival, an eternal enemy of Yamato. Yamato then looked at the Naito leader, waiting for a reply that he was sure wasn't going to come. He looked her in the eyes and spoke the words that no mother would ever want to hear. The words were spoken like venom, not intending to bring a point across or to discuss a matter, no, they were meant to hurt both the Naito leader, and Daiki. [color=9e0039][b]“Daiki.. he's not your son. Because that would mean that, while the Naito are all scum and bastards, they atleast have a shred of honour to go toe to toe with the mighty Minamoru.. the [i]Feud of the Dogs and the Tiger[/i] they call it. I don't like you, or your clan. But I respect you, like Madara Uchiha respected Hashirama Senju, despite being enemies.”[/b][/color] [color=9e0039][b]“No, Daiki.. Daiki is much worse than that. I can't even respect him. He is not a Naito, he is an Uchiha. He has abandoned your clan just like he abandons Konohagakure by walking away from this meeting. He is a coward, a scumbag, a bastard with no shred of honour or respect for those that fought and died to sustain this village. He's an [i]Uchiha.[/i] I don't even know why he is with you, since he's not a Naito anymore. He's not worthy of that title. The Uchiha are cursed, as many other clans.”[/b][/color] At this point, Yamato's father saw that the others likely wouldn't appreciate or agree with Yamato, and grabbed his arm, pulling him back harshly and with great anger, forcefully making Yamato look at him by doing so. It was a moment that showed that Reijo hadn't always treated Yamato with the same kindness that he'd treated Rei with, as Yamato had been raised with the fist, and anger, and not the kind hearted family man that he was to Rei. [color=9e005d][b]“Yamato! [i]Enough.[/i]”[/b][/color] he said snidely, causing Yamato to look at his father in anger before looking back at Daiki. He figured going after Daiki even more would likely cause more troubles than it's worth, so Yamato redirected his anger towards the Hojo. [color=9e0039][b]“And you.. what kind of coward are you, that you don't even wish to choose a side. Are you waiting for one side to assasinate the others, and then make your choice? A sound strategy. But it won't work. I can assure you that.”[/b][/color] He looked at Yuna in slight anger, then switched his gaze to the others in that god forsaken clan. The anger was clearly showing, carrying over from Daiki to the rest. Yamato had returned to his normal self. [i]Something seemed to have sparked him to get more angry. Perhaps it was conflict in the foreseeable future.[/i] [color=9e0039][b]“Only cowards refuse to fight for what they believe in. People like Daiki. Pick a side. Fight for what you think is truth, not for what you believe to be the best option.”[/b][/color]
