Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Fugaku's Confidant Pledges Loyalty, Sarutobi Hiruzen Holds Back His Anger!

Uchiha Inabi didn't hide anything.

He directly confessed the whole matter, even casually mentioning his secret intentions to make a move against the Radical Faction.

This—was the Uchiha!

Disdaining to hide their emotions, saying whatever was on their minds directly.

Since Jin's behavior had gained his recognition, he would dedicate all his loyalty, not caring at all if he offended Uchiha Jin because of it, even if it meant sacrificing his own life.

You could say the Uchiha were extreme, arrogant, and supercilious, but similarly, if you truly had the means to make them submit, they would follow your lead for a lifetime!

"So, that's how it is!"

"Then I congratulate you on making the correct choice, because Fugaku indeed lacks the ability to handle the complex situation in the village."

"I will let you see that under my leadership, the Uchiha will change its current decline."

Uchiha Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Looking at Uchiha Inabi before him, he felt more and more that his plan was correct!

Because according to his original estimation, a large number of Uchiha would have to die before the remaining ones could awaken; he didn't expect that with just these few Uchiha deaths, the vast majority of Uchiha would defect to him, and even a confidant of the Clan Head like Inabi would rebel.

Sure enough!

Uchiha were a bunch of masochists, a bunch who wouldn't turn back until they hit a wall.

Only when they truly bled and felt pain would they be genuinely willing to listen to you.

Now it seems the harvest is remarkable!

At the very least.

Within the entire Uchiha clan now, except for the few faction elders in power and their confidants, almost everyone else had defected to him.

As for whether these people were undercover agents? Uchiha Jin wasn't worried at all!

Uchiha didn't have the brains for that!

Even Shisui and Itachi, who were bought by Sarutobi Hiruzen in the original story and were considered Uchiha geniuses, couldn't even manage the basic concealment of emotions in their daily lives, could they?

The Uchiha clansmen in the original story all knew these two guys stood with the Hokage!

Their undercover work was actually a joke.

This was actually an advantage of being from the Uchiha clan. Within the clan, there was basically no need to worry about undercover agents because the Uchiha character determined that they simply couldn't do this kind of work.

Even if someone was willing to be an undercover agent, they would probably wish to carve the word 'undercover' on their forehead!

"Elder Jin, Anbu is here looking for you!"

An Uchiha walked in and knelt respectfully on one knee.

His eyes were filled with admiration and fanaticism, and he never thought of hiding his emotions.

Seeing this, Uchiha Jin couldn't help but smile and say: "Ryugan, get up."

"We used to be teammates, so there's no need to be too polite with me. You also know I don't have that many broken rules here. In the future, don't just kneel down at every turn with me."

"I know you respect me, but in my opinion, respect is kept in the heart."

"As for these superficial rules, except for certain formal occasions, let's not do this in daily life!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Ryugan admired Jin even more.

After all...

A leader with strong personal strength, means, and character who was still so gentle to his subordinates was much better than Fugaku.

Actually, it wasn't just him thinking this; even Uchiha Inabi was inexplicably shocked.

There was no helping it!

His impression of Uchiha Jin was still focused on his dominance at the clan meeting. This was the first time he had seen the other party's private side.

"Elder Jin, be very careful."

"Our members in the village saw that Fugaku is also in the Hokage Building now, so I feel that this visit is with ill intent!"

Uchiha Ryugan said in a deep voice.

Because Uchiha Jin was in power, the Radical Faction was now completely different from the original story. Not only was the station strictly protected, but many spies had also been scattered within the village.

Whether it was the Hokage Building, Root, or the major ninja clans, as long as there was something wrong, the current Uchiha Jin could grasp it immediately.

This was also the reason why Uchiha Ryugan could get intelligence on the Hokage Building effortlessly right after the Anbu arrived.

In response to this.

Uchiha Jin smiled but didn't take it seriously.

"Don't worry, it's a small matter!"

"I probably know what Sarutobi Hiruzen wants to do. Ryugan, you don't need to worry about my safety."

"While I am away from the station, make sure to do a good job of protecting the station!"

At this moment, Uchiha Jin's expression was as calm as ever.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's political maneuvering was too low-level. The ninja world's one-village-one-country system had only been established for a few decades, so while Sarutobi Hiruzen's methods seemed good, for Uchiha Jin, who came from China in his previous life, he knew what fart Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to release as soon as he dropped his pants.

...

Fifteen minutes later, Hokage's Office.

Uchiha Jin knocked on the door and entered only after receiving permission.

There was a gentle smile on his face. Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen, he narrowed his eyes slightly but still spoke very politely: "Hokage-sama, do you have any instructions for finding me?"

The words from his mouth were quite humble.

However.

His body posture was quite rude; he didn't even kneel on one knee, and there was no trace of respect in his eyes.

This was also normal!

Everyone had already torn off the mask last time. If not for the fact that neither side had the ability to kill the other without injury, they would have flipped the table and started a civil war long ago.

So as long as they could barely pass on the surface, don't expect Uchiha Jin to be very respectful.

Fugaku's face was ugly.

Looking at Uchiha Jin, who had no sense of hierarchy, he really wanted to slap this guy to death. But considering the other party's terrifying power, he sighed helplessly and pretended not to see it.

There was no choice!

As a Clan Head without soldiers, he really couldn't do anything about Uchiha Jin.

Although he had also awakened the Mangekyou, being indecisive, he dared not expose it, fearing it would arouse even greater apprehension from the Konoha higher-ups. Now that he had even lost power within the clan, he naturally had even less confidence to act against Uchiha Jin.

So.

He chose to—endure!

Anyway, he had endured for so long, so this moment didn't make a difference.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth twitched.

He was naturally equally unhappy with Uchiha Jin in front of him, so seeing the anger in Fugaku's eyes, his eyes lit up, thinking, is this guy preparing to rise up for once?

That would be a good thing!

Uchiha Jin, this bastard, indeed needed to be taught a lesson.

Even if Fugaku wasn't his match, making Uchiha Jin lose face would be good.

But, unfortunately.

He, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was ready to watch the show, but why did you, Fugaku, suddenly go soft again?

Damn it, pure trash!

What the hell can I count on you for? After all this, this old man has to do it himself!
