Konoha: I, Uchiha, Am Done Lying Flat! Part 11

He was the Leaf Village's King of Blame, Shimura Danzō!

His face darkened as he immediately spoke to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"I know all about it."

"Since that Uchiha Jin is a useless piece of trash, let him join my Root."

"Consider it putting waste to use. I believe that if we use him well, even if we can't destroy the Uchiha Clan, we can at least disgust them to death."

"..."

Since You Want to Die, I'll Grant Your Wish

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat tempted.

But after thinking it over carefully, he still shook his head and refused.

"No!"

"Uchiha Jin is a junior under Kagami, and he's grown very close to Shisui. Shisui is our most important man for monitoring the Uchiha Clan."

"If he finds out Jin has been transferred to Root, he will completely lose trust in us."

"Guarding against the Uchiha Clan is the greater priority, Danzo. I need you to understand."

"Don't touch Uchiha Jin. This is my warning to you!"

Danzo's face turned incredibly grim.

His suggestion had been rejected again!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's indecisiveness filled him with rage.

He truly didn't believe that a mere Uchiha failure could affect the overall situation of the Uchiha Clan.

"Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

After their standard exchange, Danzo turned around with an ashen face and angrily slammed the office door shut.

He truly regretted it.

Back then, he had been only a tiny step away from becoming Hokage.

Otherwise, he would have been the one sitting in that office!

The next morning.

Uchiha Jin got up with a yawn, washed up, and left home, heading straight to Ichiraku Ramen.

Only after finishing his meal did he leisurely make his way home.

But this time, after turning into an alley, he suddenly realized he was being followed again.

What the hell?

Yesterday it had been Shisui. Who was it today?

The Third Hokage's Anbu, or Danzo's Root?

But the next second,

he realized he had overthought it.

Because with just a sideways glance, he spotted three members of the Uchiha Clan.

And they were familiar faces.

Uchiha Isamu, Uchiha Ryō, and Uchiha Yoshio.

Uchiha Jin: "..."

He was annoyed.

In the entire Uchiha Clan, the only ones who constantly clashed with him were these three.

The true higher-ups, geniuses, and even elites couldn't be bothered to target him every day.

Only these three idiots, neither accomplished nor capable, kept pestering him endlessly.

For the sake of lying low, he had endured it.

But it seemed these three had gotten addicted and had no intention of stopping.

At that thought, his eyes flickered.

The next moment,

he turned a corner ahead and headed directly behind Hokage Rock, toward the depths of the woods near Training Ground 23, at the edge of the Forest of Death.

They were all ninja, so they moved extremely quickly.

Half an hour later,

Uchiha Jin jumped down from a large tree. Looking at the lush forest before him, he seemed thoroughly satisfied.

At that moment,

Uchiha Yoshio and the other two also jumped down and directly surrounded Uchiha Jin.

"Uchiha Jin, you really deserve to die!"

"As a piece of trash, you don't deserve the Uchiha name. Why didn't you die sooner?"

"It would've been one thing if you just kept barely surviving, but you even went and reported the matter to Shisui."

"You trash who hasn't even mastered the Three Body Technique—your very existence insults the honor of the Uchiha Clan."

"This place is scenic enough. It can serve as your burial ground."

Uchiha Yoshio's face was incomparably cold.

His gaze was arrogant, his arms crossed over his chest. When he looked at Uchiha Jin, his eyes were filled with mockery and disdain.

He was no genius!

As a proud Uchiha, hearing the clan endlessly praise Shisui filled him with anger and resentment, yet also a deep sense of helplessness.

He knew very well that

although he envied and hated Shisui, he would never surpass him.

So,

if he couldn't deal with a genius like Shisui, couldn't he at least deal with a useless piece of trash like him?

He chose to vent all the hatred buried deep in his heart onto Uchiha Jin.

To put it bluntly, he bullied the weak and feared the strong!

If they had been in the clan, at most he would have beaten Uchiha Jin up.

But now, things were different.

Where were they?

At the edge of the Forest of Death.

Far from the village, where no one would pay attention.

Especially since Uchiha Jin seemed to be close to Shisui.

The evil in his heart was magnified without limit, and his killing intent surged forth.

If he killed Uchiha Jin, Shisui would definitely be heartbroken for a long time, wouldn't he?

Thinking of how this could get back at Shisui, he became so excited that his entire body began to tremble.

"Attack together and kill him!"

He revealed a savage grin and directly pulled out a kunai.

"Big Brother, this..." Uchiha Ryō looked stunned and couldn't help saying, "Isn't this going too far? Jin may be annoying, but he's still an Uchiha!"

Uchiha Isamu also urged, "Yeah, Big Brother. Just beat him up and leave it at that."

Clearly,

the two of them still retained some rationality and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

But

since Uchiha Yoshio had developed killing intent, how could he be easily persuaded?

"Hmph, you two cowards!"

"Anyway, I'm definitely killing Uchiha Jin. Do whatever you want."

"If this gets out, neither of you will get away with it!"
