A great migration began within the Uchiha Clan.
As word spread of Uchiha Jin's speech at Naka Shrine, the Uchiha who chose to believe him began moving into the Radical Faction's territory.
The reasoning was simple.
Whether the Konoha Higher-ups would retaliate or not, it was better to believe it might happen. Besides, they had little to lose.
Especially since people had indeed been disappearing in secret within the Uchiha Compound recently. Though they did not care much about factional disputes, after considering this, they did not mind seeking refuge with the Radical Faction.
Naturally, the Radical Faction members were overjoyed.
To them, this was proof that the Radical Faction had won the people's support!
Time slowly passed.
As time passed, because Fugaku was weak and hesitant and chose to let this happen, many Uchiha who had been sitting on the fence also began moving into the Radical Faction's territory.
The enormous Uchiha Compound was thus split directly into two halves.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
Shisui did indeed seek out Sarutobi Hiruzen, only to be easily brushed off.
According to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo and Kagami had been friends, and the Sharingan had been gifted before death.
Just like that—Shisui believed him!
After all, there had already been the matter of Obito and Kakashi. Was it not understandable for something similar to happen again?
If it had been Uchiha Jin, he would naturally have treated that as utter nonsense. Danzo dared to compare himself to Kakashi?
Did he even have the nerve?
But unfortunately!
Shisui was not Uchiha Jin, and he was persuaded that easily.
As for the Sharingan covering Danzo's arm, a single phrase—"It was all for Konoha"—settled the matter. Danzo had lost an arm for Konoha years ago, so what was wrong with him using a few Uchiha Sharingan to serve Konoha better?
And Shisui, having been persuaded, had long forgotten that the Sharingan was the clan's Bloodline Limit. He had forgotten that every Bloodline Limit was the foundation of the Major ninja clans, and that no Shinobi Clan could possibly tolerate such a thing.
Ten days later.
The mass migration within the Uchiha Clan was complete. The Radical Faction's territory had become exceptionally lively, with sentries both open and hidden stationed around it, while a new Barrier directly covered the entire Clan Compound.
Meanwhile, the Moderate Faction and Middle Faction, led by Clan Head Fugaku and supported by Shisui, a Mangekyo wielder, chose to trust the Konoha Higher-ups.
But unfortunately.
Danzo, having lost an armful of Sharingan, could only grow increasingly frenzied in capturing Three Tomoe Uchiha in order to stabilize the Hashirama Cells in his right arm once more.
There was no helping it.
This was not yet the time for the Uchiha Clan's annihilation. Danzo did not have much stock of Three Tomoe Sharingan, and Uchiha Jin had directly destroyed ten of them last time. For the sake of his body, Danzo had no choice but to do this.
He was even more frenzied than before!
It was simply because the Radical Faction's defenses were too tight, leaving him no choice but to target the Moderate Faction and Middle Faction.
For a time.
The Middle Faction and Moderate Faction were naturally all on edge.
Fugaku: "Trust the village. Trust Hokage-sama. These are all coincidences!"
Shisui: "Do not panic, everyone. Hokage-sama will investigate!"
One was the Uchiha Clan Head, while the other was a powerful Mangekyo wielder. Both spoke out.
They were panicking too, under tremendous pressure!
Yet they did not dare follow the Radical Faction's example. They did not dare alter the Clan Compound's Barrier, nor did they dare increase the number of open and hidden sentries, because that would mean they did not trust the village.
For people like them, no matter how great the pressure in their hearts, they did not dare casually use such methods.
However, three days later.
They no longer had the mind to worry about that, because all sorts of rumors began spreading through the village that the Uchiha had recently been planning a rebellion.
And this time, the rumors spread far more fiercely than before.
Fugaku, Shisui, and the others were panicking, but they had no solution. Even when they sought help from Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, all they received were the same tired words of comfort.
"Trust the villagers. Trust the village."
"Rumors stop with the wise. Leave everything to time!"
"Do not panic. Do not be afraid. I am here."
"As Hokage, I will definitely handle it!"
Though Fugaku and Shisui felt deeply stifled, with no other options, they could only temporarily trust the village and trust the Hokage.
But unfortunately.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had no intention of stopping it. In fact, he had tacitly approved of the matter from the start. Otherwise, Root alone could never have made things this big.
Unfortunately, those two fools, Fugaku and Shisui, could not even see through something so simple. Other than anxiously worrying, they could solve nothing.
Meanwhile.
Compared to the anxious and agitated Fugaku and Shisui, the Radical Faction was strangely silent.
Uchiha Jin had completely disappeared from sight.
During this period, he went out early and returned late almost every day, all to restore his Mangekyo Dojutsu Power. After all, without a system backing him, he had to keep himself in peak condition as much as possible.
That was also why he had not simply flipped the table and killed off the other factions within the clan along with the Konoha Higher-ups, instead choosing to battle with wits within the rules of the game.
Strength was his greatest weakness!
Unless he could obtain Hashirama Cells in the future, or find a way to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo.
"Jin-kun, are we really not going to do anything?"
"Someone from the Moderate Faction and Middle Faction disappeared again last night, and he was even a powerful Three Tomoe wielder."
"Though everyone belongs to different factions, we are all Uchiha. It truly pains him to see this."
"If we really rebel, these are all fighting forces!"
Uchiha Setsuna's lips were full of bitter helplessness.
At that moment, he was deeply unsettled. Even as a member of the Radical Faction, he was devastated by such losses.
And in response.
Uchiha Jin leisurely brewed tea, not taking the matter to heart at all.
"Elder Setsuna, I am pained too."
"But the Uchiha of today have long been tamed into house dogs, having lost the fierceness of their ancestors."
"The only method I can think of is to destroy before rebuilding!"
"In my eyes, these losses are far from enough. Only when more Ninja die, completely shattering these people's illusions, will we have a chance to unite the entire clan and gain the right to challenge the Konoha Higher-ups."
"This is also why I have not torn apart all pretense with the Konoha Higher-ups. With the Radical Faction alone, forget something as major as rebellion—we do not even have the right to drag the Konoha Higher-ups down to death with us."
"Only by uniting the entire Uchiha Clan will we barely gain that right."
"Yes, you heard correctly!"
"Even after uniting the entire Uchiha Clan, we would only have the right to drag Konoha down with us. Rebellion would still be somewhat too difficult."
Uchiha Jin spoke in a distant tone.
As a transmigrator, he understood Konoha more deeply, so he did not dare act too impulsively.
But upon hearing this, Uchiha Setsuna froze where he stood. "Jin, why are you so wary of the Konoha Higher-ups? Do those few old fossils really have such ability?"
"Are you not being a little too cautious?"
"Sarutobi Hiruzen may have been formidable in his youth, but he is already old and frail now. The experts of the other Shinobi Clans are no match for the Uchiha either."
"I think that as long as we Uchiha rebel, the chances of success are still quite high!"
