It could even be said that if he died, everyone would be happier!
Yes.
Uchiha Jin and Nara Kazama, they were both truly intelligent people.
Kudo Shin, having survived one war, naturally couldn't be a fool either.
And precisely because of this.
If the three of them cooperated, the probability of them surviving in future wars would be very high.
But with Ishikawa Itsuki joining, things were different.
This ignorant, idiotic fool was truly someone who could only mess things up.
Everyone would be dragged to their deaths!
Under such circumstances, naturally, no one sympathized with him.
Chapter 22: As Expected, the Evil Uchiha!
Two days later.
Three people, with a cart full of supplies, finally found a boat and arrived at the front-line camp on the evening of the third day.
Uchiha Jin and Nara Kazama were casually assigned to a tent.
The two of them requested a stretcher and carried Ishikawa Itsuki to the medical camp before finally heading to their own tent.
"Are you sure your explanation will fool them?"
Seeing no one around, Uchiha Jin whispered, "After all, we lost two whole carts of supplies. Are you sure they won't hold us accountable?"
"Don't worry, it's fine," Nara Kazama chuckled. "This kind of thing is very common; everyone does it."
"So far, there haven't been any problems. Even if we don't find a scapegoat, at most, it's just a reprimand, which might slightly affect future promotions."
"Especially during wartime, it's basically about atoning for sins through meritorious service; it doesn't even affect promotions."
"We've already found a scapegoat this time, so there's no need to dwell on these things at all."
"Believe me, nothing will happen."
"There won't even be a reprimand!"
"Just two carts of supplies, what's the big deal in a war?"
"Truly ruthless people dare to directly empty the front-line camp's reserve warehouse, then, when the enemy attacks, deliberately destroy the warehouse and report to the village that it was the enemy's doing."
"This is called war damage!"
"The front-line camp's warehouse, with its usual reserves, is worth no less than five billion ryo."
Hiss!
Uchiha Jin was utterly dumbfounded.
He had tried his best to underestimate these people's integrity, but he never thought he had still overestimated them.
Good heavens!
This operation was too familiar.
However, he still couldn't understand why, after transmigrating for so long, he hadn't heard about this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speak.
"This isn't right!"
"I'm from the Uchiha, after all, considered a prominent family in our Konoha."
"How come I've never heard of such operations?"
Hearing these words, Nara Kazama looked at Uchiha Jin with a strange expression.
He frowned slightly.
Clearly.
He hadn't quite figured out how to explain this to him yet.
Seeing this.
Uchiha Jin spoke directly.
"We've been through battles together, and now we're teammates in the same squad."
"Just say whatever you have to say."
Nara Kazama looked a bit helpless.
But after a moment of thought, he still said helplessly, "You already said the reason yourself, because you're Uchiha."
Hearing this, there was no need for more words.
He suddenly understood!
Yes.
Uchiha Jin truly understood!
He naturally knew better than anyone what the Uchiha were like.
Brainless, stubborn, and overly proud.
These kinds of messy things on the battlefield were basically unwritten rules among the Konoha Higher-Ups.
Everyone did it!
Whether it was the great noble families, even the Sarutobi clan often engaged in it.
And, they took the lion's share.
As for the reason, it was quite simple.
These supplies belonged to the village, funded by the Daimyo's annual appropriations.
Gone?
No problem!
Just ask the Daimyo for more.
It was probably because of this reason that the Uchiha and the village seemed so incompatible.
Yes.
If the Uchiha knew about this, they would certainly disdain to go along with it; instead, they would blow the matter up to prove the Uchiha's honor.
The Uchiha were proud.
And it was precisely because of this pride that they were destined never to get along with the other families of Konoha.
In his previous life, he had always been a bit confused.
Although there were many unreliable people in the Uchiha, did Sarutobi Hiruzen really need to exterminate the clan?
Even if the Uchiha had an extremist faction, could those guys' brains truly overturn the Third Hokage's rule?
That's a joke!
Not to mention that a large number of Ninja Clans were neutral, and the Ino-Shika-Cho belonged to the Hokage faction.
As long as the Uchiha rebelled, even Tsunade and the other two would definitely stand with Sarutobi Hiruzen.
There were also the Hokage's Anbu, Danzo's Root, and perhaps even the moderate Uchiha faction, and even Fugaku, the clan head, would choose to support Sarutobi Hiruzen.
If that was the case, why exterminate the clan?
Wouldn't it be better to keep the Uchiha?
Even if there was a war, sending them to the front lines to die would be better!
In his previous life, he had always thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen was brain-damaged, a typical case of having something wrong with his head.
Now, he understood.
The core reason was differing ideologies.
Everything else was nonsense, just superficial appearances.
No wonder the Uchiha couldn't become Hokage.
If the Uchiha really became Hokage, could everyone still happily embezzle the village's assets?
Thinking of this, he let out a bitter laugh.
"Alright, no need to say more."
"I finally completely understand why the Uchiha couldn't be Hokage, and why they were targeted by everyone."
"Tobirama Senju was right, truly evil Uchiha!"
