Fugaku Was Cornered into Compromise, Shisui Couldn't Hold On Alone and Wanted to Negotiate!

Kotoamatsukami?!

When everyone heard what this Dojutsu could do, their expressions turned extremely grim.

Even furious!

At this moment, they were truly enraged. After all, there were a full three pairs of Mangekyo in this room.

Even across the entire history of the Uchiha, this was an era of unprecedented glory.

But unfortunately.

These three pairs of Mangekyo were not united at all. Two of their wielders even stood with the enemy.

What a heartbreak!

Shisui trembled all over and stared at Uchiha Jin in stunned disbelief.

Fugaku was the same.

While the others were shocked by Jin awakening the Mangekyo and by the terrifying power of Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, Fugaku himself was shaken by Jin's resolve.

It was terrifying!

This guy was clearly prepared to drag everyone down with him. Knowing he could not protect the entire Uchiha, he simply chose to protect none of them. If the village or Fugaku dared use force to break the deadlock, this guy would become a Rogue Ninja and hide in the shadows.

After all, Konoha could not run away!

If he had come from the Zhonghua Family, he would have understood that Uchiha Jin's approach was no different from nuclear deterrence.

However.

If those actions merely shocked him, then Uchiha Jin's threats toward him were what truly filled him with fear. Though angry, he felt even more helpless.

He did not trust the village as much as Shisui did, but his wife and children were his weakness!

He could not protect his family twenty-four hours a day. If he truly chose to fall out with Uchiha Jin, he had no doubt that Jin would do anything necessary to kill his wife and children.

So, sigh!

With a helpless sigh, he finally said, "I am the Uchiha Clan Head. I will not act against the Uchiha."

"I will no longer involve myself in matters between the village and the Uchiha. If you are willing, Jin, I can even hand the position of Clan Head over to you at any time. Just do not disturb my wife and children from now on."

As for that.

Though everyone else was shocked, Uchiha Jin remained calm.

As a transmigrator, he naturally knew that Fugaku's life had been full of compromises. The only people he truly cared about were his family.

Jin had struck his fatal weakness, so Fugaku's retreat was perfectly normal.

Therefore.

He merely nodded gently and said calmly, "I guarantee your family's safety. Even if the Uchiha are exterminated in the future, I will help your wife and children evacuate. I have prepared a way out in the Land of Snow!"

"Is that so? I see!" Fugaku was stunned, then suddenly understood. "Then thank you!"

After saying that.

He waved his hand and walked outside.

In any case, he had long since become a Clan Head in name only. Now that he had truly chosen to set down this crushing burden, he instead felt much lighter.

He even felt that this was not so bad!

From now on, he would not need to worry about clan affairs and could spend more time with his children.

Jin had prepared an escape route anyway, and Fugaku had heard a little about the Land of Snow. It was a place far from the Shinobi Continent. No matter how insane Konoha became, it could not possibly pursue them that far.

But Shisui was dumbfounded. What the hell was he supposed to do now?

Uchiha Jin had already taken control of the entire Uchiha. Now even Fugaku, the only Clan Head, had backed down. How could Shisui alone fight against Uchiha Jin and the entire clan?

His mouth was full of bitterness. "Jin, can't we negotiate?"

"Who said we can't?" Uchiha Jin's tone was calm. "I am very willing to negotiate!"

"As long as the village does not target the Uchiha, the Uchiha will never stir up trouble first. But can you make Danzo stop hunting the Uchiha first?"

"Why have all the clansmen joined my Radical Faction? Isn't it because none of you can accomplish anything? You keep saying we should integrate into the village, that Hokage-sama will solve every problem..."

"But what is the reality?"

"When clansmen earned merit and died on the battlefield, they received no compensation. They could not even be recorded on the Memorial Stone."

"The Uchiha Compound was discarded, our clansmen were monitored, hunted..."

"At first, the Uchiha wanted the Hokage Position. That had been agreed upon before the village was founded, but later they went back on their word and refused to let an Uchiha become Hokage."

"The Uchiha endured it!"

"Later, the Uchiha wanted power, and the village still refused to grant it. In the end, the Uchiha endured that too."

"The Uchiha only want to live now, yet the village still will not allow it. How much further do you expect the Uchiha to retreat?"

"Must the entire clan die out before the village is satisfied?"

"But sorry!"

"I can't do that!"

"Even if the Uchiha die, we will drag the village down with us!"

Shisui fell silent, unable to refute him.

He was willing to believe that the Hokage would change everything, but what Uchiha Jin said was also reality. At the very least, he could not stop Danzo from hunting the Uchiha.

He had once believed the Uchiha were too radical, but after hearing Uchiha Jin say this, he also felt that the Uchiha had already retreated many steps.

How much more could they retreat?

His head throbbed painfully, and he finally could not help saying, "But resisting is meaningless too. It will only damage the village's fighting strength. If both sides are badly hurt, how will we deal with the other villages?"

"Why should I be the one to choose?" Uchiha Jin's expression remained unchanged. "This time, I will make the village choose!"

"For Konoha's stability, can't the village take one step back?"

Shisui was instantly dumbfounded. Make the village choose?

He had only ever thought about making the Uchiha retreat. He had never considered making the village take a step back.

But thinking about it, that made sense too!

The Uchiha had given way so many times. What was wrong with the village yielding once?

He truly had no other options!

Jin had united the Uchiha, and even Fugaku had lost heart. Stopping them was already impossible, especially since Shisui was only one person.

He was not Itachi. He still cared about his clan.

So he decided to first see what Uchiha Jin wanted to do before deciding what he himself should do next.

At the very least.

He had to first ensure stability between the village and the Uchiha, even if it was only fragile stability!

After pondering for a long time, he said seriously, "I want to know your next plan. I want to know what exactly you intend to do."

"Wait for you to die," Uchiha Jin said.

Shisui was stunned. "What? Me dying?"

Uchiha Jin's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes became incomparably deep. "Yes, wait for you to die!"

"If I guessed correctly, you told the Konoha Higher-ups about this, didn't you?"

"The power of Kotoamatsukami is too terrifying. Anyone would feel a chill down their spine. If you think carefully, you will realize that Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer dares meet you alone. Even when he sees you, he does not dare look into your eyes."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen will not act against you. After all, he needs to maintain his righteous image. But he has Danzo as his black glove."

"Danzo implanted Hashirama Cells into his body and urgently needs the Yin Release of the Sharingan to suppress them. Not to mention, he fears Kotoamatsukami himself and wants to obtain that power even more."

"Danzo dreams of taking the Hokage Position. If he can obtain Kotoamatsukami, he can control Sarutobi Hiruzen and make him step down."

"He will definitely act against you. And because you trust the village's Higher-ups too much, it would not be difficult to understand if you were killed without any preparation."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen knows this very well, which is why he has Danzo completely in his grasp!"

"If Danzo succeeds, he can use that to control him. If Danzo fails, it has nothing to do with him. As Hokage, controlling a rat lurking in the shadows would not be difficult for him."

"Finally, don't think I am warning you!"

"Because I know the Uchiha's extremism and stubbornness very well. Even if I say all this, you absolutely will not believe me. I have always used Open Conspiracies to break deadlocks!"

"Your death is of great significance to me. Not only will it remove one source of concern, it will also give me an excuse to challenge the village!"

"Whoever touches a Shinobi Clan's Bloodline Limit dies. As long as I use your death as an excuse, the other Shinobi Clans will absolutely stand by and watch."

"My next move is to wait for you, Shisui, to die!"

"Is that clear enough? Do you understand now?"
