Inside Nara Shikaku's tent.
After listening to Nara Kazama's narration, Nara Shikaku's expression instantly changed, and he even uncharacteristically lost his composure.
He shot up from his seat, looking at Nara Kazama in disbelief.
"You, what did you say?"
"Uchiha Jin, awakened the Mangekyo?"
"How is that possible?"
"What a joke, how could he awaken the Mangekyo?"
"…"
Yes.
At this moment, Nara Shikaku's face was filled with disbelief.
However.
As a traditional Nara, he took a deep breath and quickly regained his composure.
He frowned deeply.
After pondering for a moment, he looked at Nara Kazama again.
"Kazama, explain in detail."
"What exactly happened with Uchiha Jin?"
"How did he awaken the Mangekyo?"
As a Konoha Higher-Up and the leader of the Jonin Squad, he inherently belonged to the Hokage faction.
In fact, it wasn't just him.
The entire Ino-Shika-Cho three clans all sided with the Hokage faction.
Even if Nara Shikaku could see that Sarutobi Hiruzen wasn't a good Hokage.
But, what did it matter?
As long as Konoha remained peaceful and the Ino-Shika-Cho three clans benefited, nothing else was important.
As part of the Hokage faction, he didn't have to care about the Uchiha.
After all, no matter who became Hokage, Ino-Shika-Cho would always side with the Hokage.
But before the Uchiha became Hokage, he had to wholeheartedly scheme for Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Now that a Mangekyo had appeared in the Uchiha, he had to fully understand such an important matter.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Nara Kazama sat opposite him, looking at his shocked Clan Uncle, and couldn't help but show a wry smile.
After a moment of silence, he spoke helplessly.
"Well, how should I put this?"
"At that time, our squad was already pushed to a dead end, and then Uchiha Jin suddenly erupted, directly awakening the Mangekyo from a two-tomoe Sharingan."
"The Uchiha are just too unreasonable!"
"…"
Chapter 52: Nara and Fugaku, Both Have Their Own Schemes
Nara Kazama's face was full of bitterness.
His performance was exquisite, so much so that even Nara Shikaku couldn't find any flaws.
However.
Thinking about what Uchiha Jin had said, he wholeheartedly agreed.
Yes!
The Uchiha were simply unreasonable.
No matter how useless they were normally, once they awakened the Sharingan, their combat power would directly skyrocket several times over.
Originally, they couldn't defeat anyone, but as soon as they awakened the Sharingan, they could instantly take on three opponents.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel admiration.
The reason Uchiha Jin gave was indeed impeccable.
"Well, alright!" Nara Shikaku was silent for a moment: "The Uchiha's Sharingan is indeed unreasonable."
"Let me think about it carefully."
He sighed.
At this moment, Nara Shikaku felt his head aching!
Although he felt this reason was absurd, he vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
But if he were to point out exactly what was wrong, he couldn't immediately say.
Nara Kazama remained silent.
He didn't disturb his Clan Uncle, nor did he believe he could find any flaws.
The Uchiha's Sharingan was just that unreasonable.
Obito in the original story was a prime example.
He was originally the dead last in his class; even though he was in the elite Class A, he couldn't even spit out a Great Fireball when he graduated.
And then what?
The moment he saw Nohara Rin die, his two-tomoe Sharingan instantly transformed into the Mangekyo.
And it was the most unsolvable spatial type, Kamui!
Time slowly passed.
After about ten minutes, Nara Shikaku spoke again.
"How about this."
"Your mission will be slightly altered."
"From now on, cease all inquiries regarding Uchiha Jin's secrets."
"You need to cultivate a bond with him as much as possible and become his true friend."
"The clan will provide you with all the support you need during this period."
Nara Kazama's eyes changed.
However, in an instant.
He understood his Clan Uncle's plan; he saw that the Uchiha were gaining momentum, so he was preparing a fallback for the Nara Clan!
He had to admit, his Clan Uncle's mind was indeed sharp enough!
In that case.
No matter if the Third Hokage won, or the Uchiha won.
In short.
The Nara Clan would remain stable and unaffected!
"Okay, I understand," Nara Kazama said.
After he nodded in agreement, the two chatted casually about other things for a while, then Nara Kazama discreetly excused himself.
After he left, Nara Shikaku let out a soft sigh.
"Truly, a time of trouble!"
"But, forget it."
"This is something the Hokage-sama should worry about; I'll just do my own job."
"If Hokage-sama doesn't bring it up, I'll pretend it never happened."
"If he wants my opinion, then I'll do my best to help Hokage-sama."
"Anyway, on the Uchiha side, that kid Nara Kazama is there."
"No matter who wins or loses, it can ensure the stability of the Nara Clan."
"Brother, you truly have a good son!"
"…"
Nara Shikaku shook his head and smiled wryly.
Especially when talking about Nara Kazama, his eyes became incredibly complex.
