He needed more details to make a more accurate judgment.
Shisui didn't hide anything about it.
He immediately recounted everything that had just happened, especially Nara Shikaku's judgment, word for word.
Uchiha Jin understood everything after a moment's thought.
He was now absolutely certain that Nara Shikaku was just trying to fool people.
Yes.
Although the story he concocted had a cause, a process, and psychological considerations...
But the problem was...
What was the situation with Cloud Village?
From the Third Raikage to the ninjas below him, they were all people who believed in brute force, with muscles even in their brains.
Did they have that kind of intelligence?
What kind of international joke are you playing?
Throughout Cloud Village's history, when has Cloud Village ever used its brains?
No matter what they encountered, they basically relied on one word: 'recklessness'.
The only person in Cloud Village with a bit of intelligence, capable of judging and analyzing battle situations, was Mabui.
However...
This woman was the Fourth Raikage Ay's secretary. Now it was the era of the Third Raikage. Mabui was just a child, about his age.
Could she offer strategies for Cloud Village?
That's nonsense!
So, the problem arose.
If he could easily think of this, could Nara Shikaku, as the 'brain of Konoha' and considered the top strategist among the Hokage, truly not think of something so simple?
Absolutely impossible!
Even if this Shinobi World was weak in political maneuvering due to its strong military power...
But the situation with Cloud Village could be mostly guessed by anyone with a functional brain.
Especially the Nara Clan, who were the ceiling of intelligence in the Hokage system.
Couldn't even think of this?
Who are you trying to fool?
Chapter 14: Shisui's Generosity, Uchiha Jin Was Stunned
Uchiha Jin's brows furrowed.
He almost instantly sensed that something was wrong. Nara Shikaku wouldn't be that foolish, so why would he do this?
Simply because the one who died was an Uchiha, so he didn't want to waste time investigating?
Or because of the war, he didn't want Konoha to fall into internal strife over this matter?
He fell into deep thought.
Of course, none of this was important. What he cared about was whether Nara Shikaku had already set his sights on him.
But, never mind!
Regardless of whether Nara Shikaku had noticed, since he hadn't said anything now, there was no need for him to overthink it.
What he lacked most now was time!
As long as he continued to develop stealthily, once he became a Kage-level expert, it wouldn't matter even if his secret was exposed.
In this Shinobi World, the strong were still revered.
After realizing this, he smiled and spoke.
"So, that's how it is."
"This is indeed a good thing for me."
"With Uchiha Yoshio and the others dead, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Watching the continuously emotional Uchiha Jin, Shisui, on the contrary, looked conflicted.
No choice.
His kind nature couldn't accept Uchiha Jin's way of thinking.
However...
He also understood the humiliation Uchiha Jin had endured from Uchiha Yoshio and others over the past few years, so despite his displeasure, he could only remain silent.
Shaking his head bitterly, he took a deep breath.
"Alright, let's not talk about that."
"I've brought everything you wanted."
"Take a look first and see if you like them."
Shisui didn't want to discuss that topic anymore, so he pulled out three scrolls.
Uchiha Jin's eyes lit up at the sight.
First, he examined the first scroll, which contained three thousand explosive tags, five hundred fine steel kunai, and two hundred shuriken.
This made his mouth twitch, and his heart was filled with continuous emotion.
The Uchiha were truly rich.
One explosive tag cost one thousand ryo, so that was two million ryo.
Adding the kunai and shuriken, the value of this single scroll was almost five million ryo.
No wonder.
In the original story, when the Uchiha Clan was annihilated, the entire clan's assets were taken over by the village, and Sasuke didn't bother with any of it.
It's conceivable that even if a large amount of Uchiha's wealth was confiscated, the remaining scraps would be enough for Sasuke to squander for a lifetime.
Furthermore, that guy only wanted revenge and probably had no concept of money.
When he first transmigrated, seeing the nine hundred thousand ryo left by his parents, he thought it was a substantial sum.
Now it seemed, he was too young.
The items the clan used to compensate him alone were worth almost five million ryo.
Comparing them like this, his parents were poor.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speak.
"Shisui, isn't this too much?"
"Did you use your own money to subsidize me?"
Hearing this, Shisui gave a hearty laugh.
Shaking his head with a smile, he shrugged and said,
"You're overthinking it. This is just the clan's compensation for you."
"It's only worth five million ryo. Is that really a lot?"
"If I just do a B-rank mission, the starting pay is sixty thousand ryo. If it's an A-rank mission, the starting pay is two million ryo."
"This scroll, whether for the clan or for me, is just the reward from a few missions."
"The truly valuable items are in the other two scrolls."
"The second scroll contains the early-period sword of a grand-uncle of my grandfather. In terms of value alone, it's worth at least five hundred million ryo, as it contains a large amount of Chakra metal and a small amount of meteorite from outer space."
"As for the accompanying sword style, it is also a hereditary Uchiha sword technique, not at all weaker than the Hatake sword technique. It's just that there are few sword masters in our clan."
"And the most valuable item is in the third scroll."
"Izanagi and Izanami. These are the clan's secret techniques, truly priceless treasures."
Hiss!
After hearing this, Uchiha Jin gasped.
Good heavens!
Truly worthy of being a prominent clan from years ago!
No wonder from the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, onwards, the Hokage lineage always wanted to eliminate the Uchiha.
Damn, they're really rich!
