He was the Konoha Pot King, Shimura Danzo!
His face was grim as he immediately spoke to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"I know everything."
"Since that Uchiha Jin is a good-for-nothing, let him join my Root."
"Consider it making use of a good-for-nothing. I believe that if he's used well, even if we can't kill the Uchiha, we can at least disgust them to death."
"..."
Chapter 8: Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was somewhat tempted.
However, after thinking it over carefully, he still shook his head and refused.
"No!"
"Uchiha Jin is a junior subordinate of Kagami, and now he's very close to Shisui. Shisui is the most important person for monitoring the Uchiha."
"If he knew that Jin was transferred to Root, he would completely lose trust in us."
"Guarding against the Uchiha is the big picture, Danzo, I need you to understand."
"Don't touch Uchiha Jin, that's my advice to you!"
Danzo's face was extremely dark.
His suggestion was rejected again!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's indecisiveness made him furious.
He truly didn't believe that a mere Uchiha good-for-nothing could affect the overall Uchiha situation.
"Hiruzen, you will regret this!"
"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"
After a standard exchange, Danzo turned with a ashen face, then slammed the door in anger.
He truly regretted it.
He was so close to becoming Hokage back then.
Otherwise, he would be the one sitting in the office right now!
...The next day, early morning.
Uchiha Jin woke up with a yawn, washed up, and left his house, heading straight to Ichiraku Ramen.
After finishing his meal, he leisurely walked home.
However, this time, after turning into an alley, he suddenly realized he was being followed again.
What the hell?
Yesterday was Shisui, who is it today?
The Third Hokage's Anbu, or Danzo's Root?
But, the next second.
He knew he was overthinking it.
Because he just squinted and saw three Uchiha Clan members.
And, they were familiar faces.
Uchiha Yu, Uchiha Ryo, and Uchiha Yoshio.
Uchiha Jin: "..."
He was very annoyed.
Among the entire Uchiha Clan, these three were the ones who often clashed with him.
The true high-ranking members, geniuses, and even elites, were too lazy to target him every day.
It was just these three idiots, not good enough for the top and not bad enough for the bottom, who annoyed him intensely every day.
To survive, he endured it.
But looking at these three guys, they seemed to be addicted to it and wouldn't stop.
Thinking of this, his eyes flickered.
The next moment.
He directly turned a corner ahead and headed straight for the deep forest behind the Hokage Rock, near Training Ground No. 23, the edge of the Death Forest.
Everyone was a ninja, so their movement speed was extremely fast.
Half an hour later.
Uchiha Jin jumped down from a large tree, looking at the lush green forest in front of him, feeling very satisfied.
It was at this moment.
Uchiha Yoshio and the other two also jumped down and immediately surrounded Uchiha Jin.
"Uchiha Jin, you really deserve to die!"
"As a good-for-nothing, you don't deserve the Uchiha name at all. Why don't you just die sooner?"
"It's bad enough that you're living a pathetic life, but you even dragged Shisui into it."
"You good-for-nothing who hasn't even mastered the Three Body Technique, your existence insults the honor of the Uchiha."
"This place is beautiful, let it be your burial ground."
Uchiha Yoshio's face was incredibly grim.
His eyes were arrogant, his arms crossed, and when he looked at Uchiha Jin, his eyes were full of mockery and disdain.
He was not a genius!
As a proud Uchiha, hearing all the praise for Shisui within the clan made him feel not only angry and frustrated but also deeply powerless.
He knew very well in his heart.
Although he envied and resented Shisui, he would never surpass Shisui.
So.
If he couldn't deal with a genius like Shisui, could he at least deal with a good-for-nothing like him?
He chose to vent all this resentment, hidden deep in his heart, onto Uchiha Jin.
To put it bluntly, he bullied the weak and feared the strong!
If they were within the clan, the most he would do was beat Uchiha Jin up.
But, it was different now.
Where was this?
The edge of the Death Forest.
Far from the village, with no one watching.
Especially when he thought that Uchiha Jin seemed to be very close to Shisui.
The evil in his heart was infinitely magnified, and the killing intent in his heart surged forth.
If he killed Uchiha Jin, Shisui would surely be sad for a long time, right?
Thinking that this act could get revenge on Shisui, he even started trembling with excitement.
"Let's attack together and kill him!"
He revealed a sinister smile and directly pulled out a kunai.
"Big Brother, this..." Uchiha Ryo looked stunned and couldn't help but say, "Isn't this a bit too much? Even if Jin is annoying, he's still an Uchiha!"
Uchiha Yu also advised, "That's right, Big Brother, let's just beat him up."
Obviously.
These two still had some sense and naturally quickly spoke up to dissuade him.
However.
Uchiha Yoshio, having already developed killing intent, would he be easily persuaded?
"Hmph, you two cowards!"
"In any case, I will kill Uchiha Jin. You two decide what you want to do."
"If this gets out, you won't escape either!"
