Shisui and Itachi's Whereabouts, Uchiha Jin's Counterattack!

Uchiha Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.

This was also what worried him the most. After all, Shisui and Itachi had been far too quiet lately.

That was very abnormal!

They belonged to the village's most hardline faction. The Uchiha had been so unruly lately, and the village had suffered quite a few losses. Given their personalities, they should not have remained so silent.

Especially considering the upcoming operation, he would need to walk straight into Danzo's trap.

Therefore.

He naturally needed to find out what those two were doing now.

And regarding this.

Upon hearing Uchiha Jin's question, everyone present froze on the spot.

Shisui? Itachi?

There had indeed been very little news about those two recently. It felt as if they had completely vanished.

A moment later.

Fugaku was the first to ponder for a moment before speaking.

"I roughly know about this!"

"Itachi and Shisui are both Anbu members. It seems they accepted a mission a few days ago and have recently left the village."

"Of course."

"That was only Itachi's word. I don't know whether it was true or false!"

Fugaku's gaze was somewhat hesitant, and there was clearly a faint trace of fear in his heart.

And regarding this.

After hearing Fugaku's words, everyone present fell silent.

However, after thinking for a moment, Uchiha Jin still spoke directly. "It's most likely just an excuse. There haven't been any major troubles in the Shinobi World lately."

"Although the front line between Konoha and Kumogakure is somewhat tense, and the final peace treaty has not been signed, Kumogakure has long since run out of steam. There is no way a war can break out anytime soon."

"Especially at a time like this, when tensions between the Uchiha and the village are escalating, as long as Sarutobi Hiruzen isn't stupid, he won't let those two leave the village."

"Looking at it this way, they are most likely in Root!"

"They will probably also be part of the trap prepared for me."

As Uchiha Jin spoke, everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air.

Everyone's expressions turned ugly!

Fugaku's face was filled with struggle, and for a moment, he did not know what to say.

So, sigh!

After a helpless sigh, he was filled with exhaustion.

There was no helping it.

With a son like that, he truly was exhausted.

"Bastard, damn it!"

"They're clearly Uchiha, yet they insist on standing with the village."

"Can't those two idiots see how the village has been targeting the Uchiha?"

"..."

Everyone present spoke up one after another.

None of them looked pleased. As Uchiha, they were helping outsiders harm their own people.

And regarding this.

Other than a bitter smile, Fugaku did not know what else to say.

Uchiha Jin fell into thought.

This was not good news for him, so he had to find a way to stop it.

It was not that he feared Shisui and Itachi, but those two could not die by his hand, even if they had in fact betrayed the Uchiha.

Members of the same clan could not kill one another. This was an absolute core principle that could not be broken!

Otherwise...

Even if everyone understood him in their hearts, it would still leave a knot in the clan's hearts.

On the contrary.

Only if Shisui died at Danzo's hands could it stir the clan's resolve to fight to the death.

What should he do?

Uchiha Jin's mind raced. After a moment, he spoke coldly.

"Fugaku..."

"I need you to reveal your Mangekyo and make sure the Konoha Higher-ups learn of it."

"Then, do this."

"Go to the Hokage Office later and tell Sarutobi Hiruzen one thing directly."

"When two factions fight for power, it doesn't matter whether they resort to political schemes or tear off all pretenses and flip the table."

"But the Uchiha cannot kill Uchiha!"

"Tell Sarutobi Hiruzen that I am willing to face Danzo head-on!"

"But Shisui and Itachi absolutely cannot take part in the battle!"

"Tell him to recall Shisui and Itachi immediately. Otherwise, the moment Uchiha Jin dies will be the moment the entire Uchiha launches an armed rebellion."

Uchiha Jin's expression remained unchanged.

He had long prepared himself to clash head-on with Danzo. At its core, this was a world where strength reigned supreme, but those two traitorous brats, Shisui and Itachi, absolutely could not participate in the battle.

This was the most crucial point!

If this could not be guaranteed, then he would flip the table completely and wage a direct war against the Konoha Higher-ups.

At worst...

If they truly destroyed Konoha, all the Uchiha could wander the Shinobi World as Rogue Ninja!

And regarding this.

Fugaku did not hesitate in the slightest and nodded immediately.

"No problem, I understand!"

"Keeping Shisui and Itachi out of the battle is the core issue. If Sarutobi Hiruzen refuses, then before I die, I'll kill the Konoha Higher-ups first!"

"I will personally watch Shisui and Itachi get brought to the Hokage Office, then personally seal the Chakra in their bodies!"

"Since Jin trusts me, I guarantee I will complete this mission!"

Fugaku's face was full of ferocity, and killing intent burst from his eyes.

That was right!

The Konoha Higher-ups' methods were too vile. Especially since this involved his own son, it had clearly crossed Fugaku's bottom line.

And on the other side.

Uchiha Jin and everyone present were also stunned by Fugaku's words.

Good grief!

They had truly enraged Fugaku, that honest man!

Sure enough.

When it came to being inhuman, the Konoha Higher-ups truly never disappointed.

Still, that was fine!

With Fugaku's resolve, along with his Mangekyo, Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely compromise.

That was right.

Even before Fugaku had gone to the Hokage Building, Uchiha Jin had already anticipated this.

And just then.

A member of the Patrol Team walked in. "Elders, Danzo has sent a letter specifically addressed to Elder Jin!"

"Give it to me." Uchiha Jin spoke indifferently.

Right after that.

He began reading Danzo's letter!

And on the other side.

While Uchiha Jin read the letter, the expressions of everyone present began to darken.

Clearly.

Even though they did not yet know what the letter contained, they understood that it was most likely the matter Uchiha Jin had mentioned.

And indeed, that was the case.

As they contemplated it in silence, Uchiha Jin had already set the letter down.

"Everyone, I guessed correctly!"

"Danzo is using my Parents to threaten me, demanding that I go to the Death Forest alone."

"Otherwise, he will kill my Parents. This is exactly what I expected!"

Uchiha Jin's tone was calm.

After all, he had anticipated this long ago, so he was not particularly surprised.

Afterward.

He handed the letter to the others. Once they finished reading it, Malevolent Qi surged from their bodies.

The Konoha Higher-ups were truly inhuman!

"Elder Jin, give the order!"

Everyone present rose to their feet.

And regarding this.

Uchiha Jin did not waste words and spoke directly. "Fugaku, go to the Hokage Building immediately and bring Shisui and Itachi back at once. The rest of you, immediately gather two-thirds of the Uchiha Jonin."

"While I begin fighting in the Death Forest, immediately launch a surprise assault on Root and rescue my Parents!"
