"Useless!"
"Izanagi is an Uchiha technique. How could I possibly have no precautions against it?"
Uchiha Jin's expression remained calm.
The blood-red diamond-shaped six-pointed star spun within his eyes. His dynamic vision had been enhanced countless times over, and Danzo's speed was still far too slow in his eyes.
Next—
Danzo revived once more, only to die again.
Only after the Sharingan on his arm had been completely exhausted did he flash behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Hiruzen, help me!"
Yet, in response—
Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two had long since gone numb.
Especially Danzo!
The sight of him dying, reviving, then dying again was simply too horrifying.
Still, faced with Danzo's plea for help, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and directly shielded Danzo behind him.
"Uchiha Jin, enough!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted, then spoke in a solemn tone. "I can withdraw Root and Anbu from outside the Uchiha Compound. How about it?"
"Hiruzen, how can you do that?" Danzo froze before immediately objecting.
What a joke!
He had employed countless schemes just to use the situation of Nine-Tails Night to barely force the Uchiha into a corner.
And now, with a single sentence from Sarutobi Hiruzen, all his years of effort were to be abandoned?
But in response—
Sarutobi Hiruzen could not be bothered to say more. "Shut up. I'm the Hokage!"
"Hiruzen, you'll regret this!" Danzo gritted his teeth.
Uchiha Jin narrowed his eyes as killing intent spread from his body.
He truly wanted to take this chance to kill Danzo. After all, Danzo had struck first this time. He did not believe Sarutobi Hiruzen would choose to completely fall out with him over a dead man.
Konoha was too weak right now to withstand such turmoil!
But unexpectedly—
Danzo was far too cautious. The moment he sensed trouble, he immediately hid, showing none of a strong man's dignity!
Still, Sarutobi Hiruzen's proposal was acceptable. Not only was Konoha unprepared, but Jin's side was not fully prepared either. It was not yet time to completely tear their relationship apart.
"Fine, I accept!"
Uchiha Jin nodded lightly.
After saying that—
He no longer paid any attention to the Konoha F4 before turning and walking straight out of the Hokage Office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression darkened.
He watched Uchiha Jin leave with an obscure gaze. The killing intent in his eyes was so intense it seemed ready to burst forth, yet he still picked up his pipe and began smoking, his eyes flickering as he silently considered how to break the deadlock.
Danzo spoke coldly. "Hiruzen, you're too weak!"
Even Utatane Koharu, usually little more than a background figure, spoke angrily. "Uchiha Jin is far too arrogant. We should do everything in our power to eliminate him. How can we withdraw the Anbu and Root surrounding the Uchiha?"
"I don't agree either!" Mitokado Homura voiced his stance.
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's headache only worsened.
This bunch of idiots!
When facing Uchiha Jin just now, that useless Danzo could only hide behind him, while Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu had practically become invisible. Yet once Jin had left, they suddenly became so bold.
He truly wanted to punch these idiots to death, but considering that the Sarutobi Clan alone would find it difficult to fully control all of Konoha, he still needed the support of these three.
So, after taking a deep breath, he could only explain.
"You three idiots, haven't you noticed?"
"Uchiha Jin is completely different from the other Uchiha. He truly dares to risk his life against us!"
"Especially since he commands the Uchiha's most elite Radical Faction. Never mind whether my current prestige can rally all of Konoha— even if all of Konoha were willing to follow me into battle against the Uchiha, Konoha would be severely weakened after wiping them out."
"How would a weakened Konoha deal with the other Four Great Shinobi Villages then?"
"And don't forget!"
"The Radical Faction is stationed outside the Sarutobi Clan Compound. Do you really want the Sarutobi Clan to be massacred too?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was icy.
He could tell that Uchiha Jin was serious. Jin had already prepared himself to die, and he intended to drag the Sarutobi Clan down with him before he did.
Eliminate Uchiha Jin? Are you fucking kidding me?
Were they sure they were not trying to eliminate the Sarutobi Clan?
Danzo: "..."
Utatane Koharu: "..."
Mitokado Homura: "..."
The three fell completely silent, unsure what to do for a moment.
Uchiha Jin was too radical!
Ordinary members of the Radical Faction only dared to shout threats, but he actually dared to kill. Moreover, he was prepared to die, looking as if he intended to drag others down with him before his death.
Looking at the silent trio, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. "Danzo, explain."
"What's with that arm full of Sharingan? And what was that business of dying, reviving, then dying again?"
"And regarding Uchiha Jin's Mangekyo Dojutsu, did you gain anything from fighting him?"
Danzo looked helpless, but he did not dare conceal anything.
He merely explained that the arm was Orochimaru's creation, though its effects were still quite unstable.
The Sharingan?
Naturally, they had been extracted from Uchiha secretly captured by Root!
Even though it was not yet the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, Root's methods ensured that it did not lack Sharingan.
The effect of reviving after death came from Izanagi!
Finally, when speaking of Uchiha Jin's Dojutsu, terror filled his eyes.
"Uchiha Jin's Dojutsu is terrifying. It can even be said to be impossible to block!"
"Any ninjutsu that touches it is completely dissolved. Even after someone is locked onto by his Dojutsu, any defensive measures or barrier techniques are utterly useless."
"When fighting me, Uchiha Jin rarely used his Dojutsu. Clearly, this technique consumes too much."
"When fighting Uchiha Jin in the future, I recommend wearing him down with large numbers of people. Once his Dojutsu Power is exhausted, he's useless!"
Danzo explained earnestly, while Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned at his words.
He had originally thought the Wood Release experiment had succeeded, but unexpectedly, it was merely an experimental product. Naturally, this left him deeply disappointed.
As for Izanagi, he was not tempted by it either.
Not everyone could ruin their body the way Danzo had!
"Wait, that's not right!"
"Danzo, Uchiha Jin clearly saw that arm full of Sharingan. Why didn't he question it, or even ask for them back?"
"This doesn't make sense!"
Utatane Koharu suddenly spoke.
In response—
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff from his pipe before speaking faintly. "That only proves how troublesome Uchiha Jin is. A man who can ignore his clan's Kekkei Genkai being stolen—just imagine how deeply he can endure, and how outrageous his goal must be."
"Wait, Hiruzen." Danzo suddenly spoke. "I have an idea!"
"Actually, there's something I haven't told you. Uchiha Jin being able to awaken the Mangekyo may have something to do with me."
"Uchiha Jin's parents are actually in Root's hands!"
"On the day after Root captured his parents, word spread that Uchiha Jin had awakened the Mangekyo and ultimately decided to join the Radical Faction!"
