If this plan succeeds, or even if it only half-succeeds, then it will be a situation where we can advance or retreat.
After a moment of thought, he slowly nodded.
"I... I understand."
"Let Kudo Shin, that civilian ninja, be the first step of our plan."
"You handle this matter."
Nara Kazama, of course, had no objections to this.
Without even thinking, he nodded in agreement.
"This matter is easy to handle."
"But let's wait a bit first; we'll talk about it when he truly encounters danger and comes to us for help."
"Rushing into things isn't a good business strategy; we shouldn't be too proactive."
"Nor do we need to worry about him not coming to us; after all, the survival rate of civilian ninjas during wartime is too low."
"His character and ability are good; at least he's not someone who sticks to rigid principles."
"Of course, if he doesn't seek their help even until his dying breath, then it can only prove that his capacity is nothing more than that."
"Then let him die."
Uchiha Jin, of course, had no objections to this either.
Since the matter had already been entrusted to Nara Kazama, he had no interest in asking too many questions.
Don't ask about the process, just the result!
This was something he had learned from those capitalists in his previous life.
Afterward.
The two of them began to talk about some other matters, and this temporary alliance was thus formed.
Although at this time, the two of them didn't completely trust each other.
It was a very good start, and the rest could only be left to time.
Chapter 36: Shisui Arrives, Questions the Reason
This indulgence lasted until evening.
Nara Kazama also couldn't quite handle it and just lay on the bed sleeping, while Uchiha Jin's alcohol tolerance was a bit better.
Although he felt dizzy, he wasn't drunk at all.
He just lay on the bed, staring out through the tent window.
He was thinking!
How likely was Nara Kazama's plan to succeed?
Of course, more importantly.
Was this guy trustworthy?
He didn't know!
But it didn't matter.
Currently, the two of them were only tentatively in contact, and Uchiha Jin would never reveal his truly important trump cards.
Even if something really went wrong with Nara Kazama, he was confident that he could retreat unscathed in the end; at worst, he would just defect.
As long as his system's abilities weren't exposed, nothing else was a big deal.
At worst, he would just lie low for a while longer.
Once he truly became a strong person, he would stage a king's return to Konoha.
The only thing that gave him a headache was that, until he had enough ability to protect his family, he could only say sorry to those pretty young ladies.
Just then.
The tent's curtain was lifted, and Shisui, covered in the smell of blood, walked straight in.
Then, the next second.
He was choked by the strong smell of alcohol and started coughing directly.
It wasn't that he couldn't stand the smell of alcohol; he just wasn't mentally prepared at all.
After all.
Who would normally think of drinking in the front-line camp?
And under the premise that the enemy could attack at any time?
Isn't this just pure suicide?
After coughing for a long time, Shisui finally couldn't help but speak.
"Jin, you guys..."
"How much did you drink? Are you crazy?"
"This is the front-line camp!"
He was truly speechless.
In contrast, Uchiha Jin, lying on the bed, showed no emotion at all at Shisui's sudden appearance.
After all, knowing Shisui, he understood that this guy would definitely come to find him.
To his question, he just shrugged.
"What's the big deal? It's normal, right?"
"You know, our squad just went through life and death, and our nerves were stretched to their limits."
"Anyway, it's impossible to arrange missions in a short time."
"Why can't we take this opportunity to properly relax and unwind?"
Shisui was speechless.
He truly felt helpless towards Uchiha Jin in front of him.
This guy always had a reason.
He really couldn't win an argument with him.
He's truly not an Uchiha at all!
After shaking his head helplessly, he was too lazy to waste time on this matter.
He rolled his eyes directly, took a deep breath, and said.
"You don't seem drunk, come out with me."
"There are some things I need to talk to you about!"
Uchiha Jin did not refuse.
He had long anticipated this day, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
He got up, yawned, and followed Shisui, walking out of the front-line camp again, arriving at a quiet beach.
The two sat on the sand.
Facing the gentle sea breeze and looking at the endless blue sky and white clouds.
Their moods also calmed down for a while.
After a long time.
Shisui's face was calm, and he spoke very casually: "The day you left Konoha, why did you say those words to me?"
"You're too good to me; I didn't want to lie to you." Uchiha Jin's tone was calm.
Shisui was silent.
He could feel that Uchiha Jin was not lying.
Moreover.
Thinking back to the scenes of their interactions, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
His countless acts of kindness towards him were only reciprocated by those few short words Uchiha Jin said to him before leaving.
But he didn't understand.
Yes.
For someone like him, who had shown talent since childhood and constantly worked for the peace of the Uchiha and the village, it was naturally impossible to understand Uchiha Jin's thoughts.
Especially after realizing that Uchiha Jin truly considered him a friend, he naturally wasn't willing to test anything.
"Your strength is very great!" Shisui's tone was calm, and his eyes were very sharp: "Even stronger than what the Anbu investigated in the past few days!"
