"That is his tragedy; unless someone actively discovers him, he will remain a Genin his entire life."
"But, at the same time…"
"This is also where Might Dai is strong. Precisely because his heart is as pure as a child's, he was able to cultivate the complete Eight Gates Release Formation."
"If he makes a move, he will surely astound everyone!"
Everyone fell silent.
The Eight Gates Release Formation—none of them had ever heard of it.
Even Hyuga Aya, despite her Hyuga lineage, had never specifically delved into the history of the Shinobi World.
However…
They still felt a sense of admiration for Might Dai, deep in their hearts.
Especially Nara Kazama.
He had even begun to scheme in his mind, wondering if he could draw Might Dai into his own faction.
Yes.
Even if Uchiha Jin said his heart was pure as a child's, he was still just an ordinary person.
He has a wife and children, doesn't he? He needs to eat, drink, and relieve himself, right?
Is a mere Genin truly enough?
If he could guarantee these things, then he could slowly brainwash him with justice, righteousness, and the like.
He wouldn't need to pledge allegiance to him; he would only need to, at the most crucial moment, choose to remain neutral, and that would still be a victory.
"Alright, no more idle chatter."
"Let's talk about serious matters first. The news of your awakening has already spread."
"At the latest by tonight, Clan Head Fugaku will come personally."
"Jin, can you really bluff your way through this Mangekyo Sharingan business?"
Chapter 56: The Worries of His Companions, Uchiha Jin Begins to Show Off
Shisui was filled with worry.
What he was most concerned about now was this matter. Although Uchiha Fugaku was currently fighting on the front lines, responsible for clearing out Kirigakure's last remaining forces in Whirlpool Country…
But the problem was…
It would be over by tonight at the latest!
And the news of Uchiha Jin's awakening had already spread.
At the latest by tonight, Fugaku would definitely come to find Uchiha Jin.
He understood in his heart.
Uchiha Jin hadn't awakened his Mangekyo yet, so wouldn't he be exposed by tonight?
As Shisui spoke, Nara Kazama and Hyuga Aya also frowned and looked at Uchiha Jin.
"Shisui is right!"
"We must find a way to solve this, otherwise, if it's exposed, it won't be good for us."
"Once it's revealed that you haven't awakened your Mangekyo, yet possess the strength to annihilate the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the village will undoubtedly be even more wary of you."
"…"
The two spoke up one after another.
Their moods were slightly heavy, and the worry in their brows was very thick.
To put it plainly, everyone was too weak.
Uchiha Jin was indeed strong, but only slightly stronger than an Elite Jonin, far from reaching the level of a Kage.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Konoha's Sannin, the Ino-Shika-Cho collaboration, Namikaze Minato… there were a great many in Konoha who could single-handedly annihilate them.
Adding in the heads of the various Ninja Clans, the Anbu, and the like, it goes without saying.
Didn't you see that Sarutobi Hiruzen only sent one Uchiha to this Hidden Mist Battlefield?
Even Nara Shikaku only came because he insisted.
In fact, to be frank…
Even Danzo, who was hidden in the basement and rarely made a move, had this capability.
One must know…
Although Danzo rarely acted in the original story, as a disciple of the Second Hokage, who had also transplanted hashirama cells and Uchiha Kagami's Mangekyo, he was able to fight Orochimaru in the original story, and even activated the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique directly before his death, almost taking Sasuke out in one go.
The mere Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, even if Danzo didn't have that arm full of Sharingan, he truly wouldn't have paid them much mind.
The reason they allowed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to run wild now was simply because Konoha was fighting four other nations, and many people were temporarily tied up.
Konoha, hailed as the strongest Ninja Village, earned that title through battle!
Even if it had declined significantly over the years, to the point where Hatake Sakumo was even killed…
But Konoha truly didn't take a mere Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist seriously.
If not for the drag of other battlefields, they would have been killed long ago.
Therefore…
Uchiha Jin's strength was only among the younger generation.
To truly stand firm and directly confront Konoha, even if he could rally the entire Uchiha Clan, it wouldn't be enough.
There was no need for others to act; the master and disciple, Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya, alone would be enough.
When Jiraiya activated Sage Mode, bringing the two Great Toad Sages, Fukasaku and Shima, from Mount Myōboku, it would be enough to hold back almost all of the Uchiha high-ranking members, including Uchiha Fugaku.
When Namikaze Minato activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, he would be able to reap everything!
And this was the best-case scenario!
The reality was that the current Uchiha Clan was in internal disarray, a complete mess. Who would be willing to listen to Uchiha Jin?
Hiding, lying low…
Silently developing strength, that was the most important thing.
Just as Liu Bowen said, 'Accumulate provisions, build high walls, and slowly claim kingship!'
"Everyone, don't worry."
"You've arrived at a very opportune moment; my Mangekyo has just awakened."
"Put your hearts at ease!"
Uchiha Jin's tone was faint.
And as he spoke, he immediately activated his Sharingan.
Immediately after…
A cold and chilling aura swept forth. The three tomoe in his Sharingan instantly began to link together, outlining a pattern of an inner yin-yang symbol and an outer rhombus hexagram.
Profound, distant, desolate, mysterious.
This was the Mangekyo Sharingan!
The ultimate secret exclusive to the Uchiha, and the source of their pride.
It was displayed directly before the three of them!
Shisui: "…"
Kazama: "…"
Aya: "…"
As they looked at Uchiha Jin's Mangekyo Sharingan, while the three of them were in shock, they also felt a sense of astonishment.
Yes.
Unbelievable!
A few days ago, Uchiha Jin said he could awaken his Mangekyo. Although everyone believed Uchiha Jin's words, deep down, they didn't actually believe it.
After all, that was the Mangekyo!
Awakening this thing was basically a matter of chance.
