Next Targets: Shisui and Fugaku Arrive!

Hearing this, everyone took their leave.

There was no need to mention the Radical Faction; they had long since grown used to this.

The Moderate Faction and the Middle Faction had no objections either. After all, they were all part of the same clan and already knew how Uchiha Jin operated.

Hold grand meetings for minor matters, and small meetings for major ones!

Matters like the United Front Alliance would be discussed at a grand meeting, but when it came to actual planning and operational strategy, Uchiha Jin would only consult a small group. Those below only needed to carry out their assignments.

They had not liked this much before, believing that clan matters needed to be discussed together.

But now, things were different!

Uchiha Jin's several successful moves had yielded remarkable results, making them feel that he had been right.

Ten minutes later.

The small courtyard gradually emptied out. Apart from a dozen or so Three Tomoe Uchiha stationed around it, forming a perimeter to ensure that not even a bird could fly through.

Inside the courtyard.

Uchiha Jin invited several Elders into the room. After personally brewing tea for each of them, he spoke before anyone else could.

"Everyone!"

"There are newcomers here, as well as old hands."

"Since you are all sitting here, it means you trust me, Uchiha Jin. So I will not stand on ceremony with you."

"We will follow the old rules. I will first set the objectives for the next stage, and I will explain anything you do not understand afterward."

Uchiha Jin spoke in a grave tone.

Old members of the Radical Faction like Setsuna naturally had no objections.

Yashiro, Tenno, and the others who had joined them found it rather novel, since things on the Radical Faction's side were completely different from Clan Meetings.

Still, they nodded and agreed without hesitation.

After all, the Radical Faction's several past successes were enough to prove the superiority of this method.

"Alright, no problem!"

"I accept. Jin-kun, please continue."

The two spoke calmly.

Seeing everyone nod, Uchiha Jin did not waste any words. After drawing a deep breath, he spoke directly.

"There are two objectives for the next stage."

"First, we will use the Konoha Military Police Force's licensing authority and raise the banner of the 'Will of Fire' to thoroughly throw the entire village into chaos."

"We need to give the Konoha Higher-ups something to keep them busy, so they stop watching the Uchiha all day long."

"So, I plan to appoint Chunin from our clan as captains and use Genin as reinforcements for the Konoha Military Police Force, specifically to handle the village's miscellaneous affairs."

"Second, win over the other Shinobi Clans!"

"Of course, directly winning them over will not work. The Uchiha reputation is a little too foul, and the other Shinobi Clans do not trust us."

"Therefore, my plan is to force their hand."

"Although many of the Konoha Military Police Force's powers have been seized by the Anbu over the years, those powers were originally established by Senju Tobirama. From a legal standpoint, we have no problem taking them back."

"The specific plan is to find a spy from another hidden village, use the Sharingan to control him, and have him run directly toward Root."

"Under the pretext of capturing a spy, the Konoha Military Police Force will gather all the clan's strongest members and forcibly raid Root!"

"Danzo will most likely think I am trying to rescue my Parents. At that point, Root's elite forces will definitely be used to move and guard my Parents."

"That means Root's other positions will surely be left poorly defended."

"The Konoha Military Police Force has only two objectives!"

"First, gather as many of Root's mission scrolls, research materials, and other documents as possible. Second, kill as much of Root's active manpower as possible."

"Especially Root's elite Jonin. Kill as many as you can!"

"Danzo dreams of becoming Hokage. If he loses so many elites this time, then to replenish Root's strength, he will definitely force the other Shinobi Clans to send their outstanding young talents into Root."

"The more Root elites we kill, the more frantically Danzo will pressure the other Shinobi Clans."

"Then we will have an opportunity to find a way to win over the other Shinobi Clans!"

As Uchiha Jin spoke, the faces of everyone present filled with shock.

At that moment.

They truly realized just how different Uchiha Jin was from Fugaku!

Although Fugaku frequently convened Clan Meetings, he never actually solved any problems.

But what about Uchiha Jin?

When he held meetings, he did not waste time with empty talk. He immediately arranged all kinds of operations!

More importantly, his actions were justified and well-grounded. Unlike the old Radical Faction, which talked rebellion at every turn, he was genuinely wrestling with the Konoha Higher-ups within the rules.

Especially since, while striking at the Konoha Higher-ups, he could also use it to pressure and win over the other Shinobi Clans.

Truly—impressive!

"I agree!"

Uchiha Tenno immediately chose to support him.

Though he belonged to the Moderate Faction, he was still an Uchiha.

The reason he had not supported the Radical Faction before was simply because the chance of succeeding in rebellion was too small. But Uchiha Jin's approach of fighting without breaking, cooperating without conforming, truly let him see hope for success.

"I support it too. I support it with everything I have!"

Uchiha Yashiro raised his hand as well.

After fully realizing that the Konoha Higher-ups could not be trusted, he had even wanted to rebel outright and join the Radical Faction.

But unexpectedly.

Uchiha Jin's methods were far more moderate, yet the chances of success were not low at all.

That made him trust Uchiha Jin even more. He believed Jin was a truly sharp-minded Uchiha!

The others spoke up one after another.

Almost without exception, they expressed support for his operation without even needing Uchiha Jin to explain it.

Seeing this, Setsuna sighed.

"So alike, truly alike!"

"Jin-kun, your calculations and planning remind me of Uchiha Izuna."

"The Uchiha who could contend with Senju Tobirama in strategy and intellect!"

As Setsuna spoke, the others nodded in agreement.

They were all old men who had lived through the final years of the Warring States period. Although they had not personally witnessed Uchiha Izuna's brilliance, they had heard of his prowess from the clan's elders.

And now.

They truly saw Uchiha Izuna's shadow in Uchiha Jin!

For a moment.

The atmosphere in the living room became more relaxed.

Uchiha Jin did not say much about it. Since the important business had been concluded, he began engaging everyone in idle chat instead.

And it was at that moment.

Uchiha Inabi entered. "Elders, Fugaku and Shisui have arrived."

"They wish to see Elder Jin!"

Everyone was somewhat taken aback.

Uchiha Jin, however, remained calm. He did not need to guess why those two had come.

After thinking briefly, he spoke directly. "Let them in."

"Yes!" Uchiha Inabi bowed.

Two minutes later.

Shisui and Fugaku arrived in the living room. When they saw Tenno and Yashiro, their expressions instantly darkened considerably.

Neither of them was foolish!

With the outside guarded so tightly, something important had to be under discussion inside.

And with Moderate Faction Elders Tenno and Yashiro both present, it was already enough to prove that they had made their choice.
