You see, the green flare meant that Tekka's side had succeeded.
"That's great!"
"Jin-kun, did you see it?"
"Tekka's side succeeded, the village gave up."
"We succeeded, Jin-kun, your plan actually worked!"
Fugaku spoke softly.
He seemed incredibly excited, even on the verge of tears.
He should be happy.
Because this meant that his wife and children would all live.
Of course.
He still had his basic rationality.
Knowing he was currently in the Sarutobi Clan, even if he was excited, he deliberately kept his voice low.
Actually, it wasn't just him.
Even Uchiha Jin let out a sigh of relief.
He was also gambling!
After all, to be frank, if he had a choice, he wouldn't want to become a rogue ninja.
You have to understand.
Unlike the peaceful era of his previous life, in the Shinobi World, wanting to slack off and lie flat also required a stable environment.
In the entire Shinobi World.
Was there any place more suitable than Konoha?
However.
Even after seeing the green flare ascend, he still maintained the necessary caution.
After a moment of thought, he calmly spoke.
"Clan Head, you should go back."
"The Uchiha Clan Grounds needs someone to oversee the big picture now."
"I'll stay in the Sarutobi Clan for another night as a backup."
"If nothing happens, I'll return tomorrow."
"Also, one more thing."
"If any Ninja Clan visits tonight, remember to ask them to stay over at my house for the night."
"I will personally receive them when I return tomorrow."
Fugaku was bewildered.
The flare had already gone up, could it still be fake?
However.
Considering how important this matter was to the Uchiha, Uchiha Jin's caution was understandable.
"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Jin-kun." Fugaku immediately said, "Then I'll head back first. See you tomorrow."
Uchiha Jin nodded.
After Fugaku left, he immediately activated his Kenbunshoku, sat cross-legged on a tree branch, and closely monitored the entire Sarutobi Clan.
Time slowly passed.
About an hour later, in his perception.
He noticed Sarutobi Hiruzen looking exhausted, and under the strict escort of four Anbu, he quietly returned to his home.
Under Kenbunshoku, nothing could be hidden.
And although Uchiha Jin wasn't proficient in genjutsu, he possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan after all.
Therefore.
It was impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen to detect him.
"It seems it's truly over."
"But just in case, I'll endure one more night."
"Sigh, what a hassle."
"To think I'm a couch potato, and the system I awakened is also a lazy one."
"Why is every day so exhausting?"
"The saying is really true: choice is more important than effort."
"If only I had transmigrated into a generally peaceful world, if only I had been given a slightly ordinary identity, then I, this couch potato, wouldn't be so tired."
"But, forget it!"
"There's no point in agonizing, I'll just gradually accept it."
"..."
Chapter 120: Uchiha's Celebration, Aburame Clan's Visit
Uchiha Clan Grounds.
When Fugaku returned, he found that many Jonin had already returned as well.
Throughout the entire Uchiha Clan Grounds, joy permeated everywhere.
"We really won!"
"Elder Jin is indeed strong enough; in such a desperate situation, he actually found a way to turn the tables."
"I'm so excited, this is the arrogant and powerful Uchiha, isn't it?"
"You're telling me, it was so stifling before."
"The Clan Head is back!"
"Clan Head..."
Many Jonin spoke up one after another.
Their faces were beaming with smiles as they expressed their joy.
Yes.
Tonight, the Uchiha certainly had reason to be excited.
Although there was no actual fighting, they had indeed suppressed the village's higher-ups.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Fugaku looked at the familiar faces before him, his heart filled with emotion.
It was just by that much!
If it weren't for Uchiha Jin's letter, if he hadn't convinced the Hokage faction.
Then, after tonight.
Perhaps less than a tenth of these Uchiha Jonin would have survived.
"Everyone, you've worked hard!"
"It's alright now, we, the Uchiha, are safe."
"Everyone go back and rest. We can discuss anything tomorrow."
Fugaku raised his right hand.
After getting everyone to quiet down, he spoke softly.
Upon hearing these words, everyone began to cheer.
This night.
The entire Uchiha Clan Grounds was completely immersed in a sea of joy.
Even Uchiha Setsuna couldn't help but show a happy smile.
However.
Thinking of Uchiha Jin's growing influence, which would become even greater after this incident, his heart grew heavier.
Yes.
When facing the Uchiha's life-or-death crisis, he didn't mind cooperating with Uchiha Jin.
