Konoha: I, Uchiha, Have Done Lying Flat! Section 15

After a moment of confusion, he could not help but ask, "You awakened the Sharingan?"

"No." Uchiha Jin said, "I'm preparing for the future."

Shisui fell silent.

These things were far too important!

But remembering that this was Jin-kun's request, he thought for a moment before speaking.

"I know Izanagi and Izanami. I'll give you the scrolls directly later."

"As for tachi and sword techniques, I have plenty at home. I'll bring them to you then."

"As for explosive tags and ration pills, I imagine the Clan Leader won't refuse."

"No problem, I agree!"

Shisui's expression remained calm.

Uchiha Jin, however, looked utterly bewildered and shocked.

Good grief!

The things he wanted did not even need to come from the clan or the village. Shisui alone was covering more than half of them.

So the clan only needed to provide some ration pills and explosive tags?

He had never noticed before that Shisui was loaded too!

Still, thinking about it, that was normal.

After all, Shisui's branch was also part of the Uchiha Main Branch.

And his grandfather was Kagami Uchiha!

Just as he was about to continue speaking, a masked Anbu ninja suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

"Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Jin."

"By the Hokage's order, the two of you are to proceed to the Hokage Building."

"Immediately. At once!"

Chapter 11: The Incident Is Exposed, Anbu Strikes

Uchiha Jin and Shisui exchanged a glance, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

However.

Since it was the Hokage's order, neither of them dared hesitate, and they hurried toward the Hokage Building.

Along the way.

Shisui's expression remained calm, while Uchiha Jin's gaze flickered slightly.

Yes.

He roughly knew what this was about.

If his guess was correct, yesterday's incident had likely been discovered.

Thinking of this, his mood grew heavy.

He had never expected to hide this matter completely, but the village's reaction speed still exceeded his expectations.

Too fast!

It had only happened last night, yet they had not only discovered it today, but traced it back to him.

After all, he had left behind a Cloud Ninja corpse at the Forest of Death.

Still, it did not matter.

He trusted his cleanup methods and was confident there were no clues at the scene pointing to him.

Ten minutes later.

The two arrived directly at the Hokage Building and pushed open the Hokage's office door.

Uchiha Jin narrowed his eyes.

But when he saw the people gathered in the office, he could not help letting out a startled cry.

Led by Hiruzen Sarutobi, all of Konoha F4 were present. In addition, there were Uchiha Fugaku, Jonin Squad Leader Shikaku Nara, Analysis Squad Leader Inoichi Yamanaka, the Anbu Captain, and others...

If nothing unexpected had happened, this Anbu Captain was Shin'nosuke Sarutobi, right?

After all.

Hiruzen Sarutobi would never be willing to hand such an important department as the Anbu over to someone else.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat behind his desk, looking at the two young men before him, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

After a moment.

He looked at Uchiha Jin and asked with a smile.

"Uchiha Jin, correct?"

"According to the Anbu investigation, you seem to have had some contact with Uchiha Yoshio and the other two yesterday."

"Now, the three of them have gone missing, and you were the last person to have contact with them."

"I need you to tell me everything you know, exactly as it happened."

"This matter is very important!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was gentle.

He did not mention what exactly had happened, merely asking his questions.

He did not speak of death, only disappearance!

That was normal.

After all, this was such an important matter, while Uchiha Jin was of too low a standing.

Unless it was confirmed that he was involved, they certainly would not tell him the specifics.

Seeing this, Shisui could not help frowning.

As a genius who often dealt with the higher-ups, he knew very well that with such a grand lineup, it could not possibly be because of the disappearance of a few Uchiha alone.

It was precisely because of this that he became increasingly worried.

He truly feared that Uchiha Jin might be implicated in this matter somehow.

Meanwhile.

Even Uchiha Jin, who understood Hiruzen Sarutobi's true nature, felt somewhat dazed for a moment, but quickly regained his senses.

He did not hesitate.

He immediately bowed slightly and began recounting what had happened.

"Yesterday at noon, after I finished eating, Uchiha Yoshio and the other two did indeed corner me."

"They wanted to beat me up."

"I was no match for them, so I panicked and ran. In the end, I hid at the edge of the Forest of Death."

"After that, I don't know what happened."

"When it was nearly evening and Uchiha Yoshio still hadn't caught up to me, I thought they had given up chasing me, so I went straight home and slept."

"..."

Uchiha Jin recounted everything calmly.

After finishing, he lowered his head and remained bowed, saying nothing more.

Yes.

Having lived in the Leaf Village for so many years, he was already very familiar with how things worked here.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi always presented himself as kind and benevolent in the village, in truly formal settings, he placed great importance on the hierarchy between superiors and subordinates.

A small fry like him had no right to ask questions.

The others all frowned slightly after hearing him, but no one spoke.

Silence!

Everyone was considering whether his account was true.

And at that moment.

Shisui could not hold back any longer and immediately spoke.

"Lord Hokage, what exactly happened?"

As a genius, he naturally possessed certain privileges.
