Leaf Village: This Uchiha Is Done Lying Flat! Part 19

He needed to know more details before he could make a more accurate judgment.

Shisui did not hide anything from him.

He immediately recounted everything that had just happened, especially Shikaku Nara's judgment, word for word.

After hearing it, Uchiha Jin understood everything with only a little thought.

He was now absolutely certain that Shikaku Nara was just feeding them nonsense.

That was right.

The story he had concocted might have had a cause, a process, and even psychological reasoning.

But the problem was—

What kind of place was Kumogakure?

From the Third Raikage down to the ordinary ninja, they were all a bunch of people who worshipped their fists, with muscles where their brains should have been.

Did they have that kind of intelligence?

Was this some kind of international joke?

Looking back over Kumogakure's history since its founding, when had it ever relied on its brains?

No matter what they encountered, they basically relied on one word: brute force.

The only person in Cloud Village who had even a little brain and could judge and analyze a battle situation in the entire story was Mabui.

However.

That woman was the Fourth Raikage's secretary. This was still the Third Raikage's era, and Mabui was only a child now, about the same age as him.

Could she possibly advise Cloud Village?

What bullshit!

So, the question was—

If even he could easily think of this, could Shikaku Nara, Leaf Village's brain and one of the greatest strategists in the Naruto world, truly fail to see something so simple?

Absolutely impossible!

Even if the world's overwhelming military strength had made political infighting ridiculously crude.

As long as someone's brain worked properly, they could more or less guess Cloud Village's situation.

Especially since the Nara Clan stood at the very pinnacle of intelligence in the Naruto world.

They could not figure out even this?

Who were they trying to fool?

Chapter 14: Shisui's Generosity, Uchiha Jin Is Stunned

Uchiha Jin furrowed his brow.

He had almost instantly sensed that something was wrong. Shikaku Nara could not really be that stupid, so why had he acted this way?

Was it simply because the dead were Uchiha, so he did not want to waste time investigating?

Or was it because of the war, and he did not want Leaf Village to descend into internal conflict over this matter?

He fell into deep thought.

Of course, none of that was important. What he cared about was whether Shikaku Nara had already set his sights on him.

But, forget it!

Whether Shikaku Nara had noticed anything or not, since he had not said anything, there was no need for Jin to overthink it.

What he lacked most right now was time!

As long as he kept his head down and developed, once he became a Kage Level expert, it would not matter even if the truth came out.

In this Ninja World, strength still reigned supreme.

Once he figured that out, he smiled and spoke.

"So that's how it is."

"For me, this really is a good thing."

"Now that Uchiha Yoshio and the others are dead, I can finally breathe easier."

Meanwhile.

As he watched Uchiha Jin sigh with emotion, Shisui wore a conflicted expression instead.

He could not help it.

Kind-hearted as he was, he could not accept Jin's way of thinking.

However.

He also understood the humiliation Jin had suffered at the hands of Uchiha Yoshio and the others over the past few years, so no matter how unhappy he was, he could only remain silent.

He shook his head bitterly, then took a deep breath.

"All right, let's not talk about that."

"I brought everything you wanted."

"Take a look and see if you like it."

Not wanting to continue discussing that topic, Shisui took out three scrolls.

Uchiha Jin's eyes lit up at once.

He inspected the first scroll first. Inside were three thousand Explosive tags, five hundred Fine Steel Kunai, and two hundred Shuriken.

The sight made the corner of his mouth twitch, and he could not stop marveling inwardly.

The Uchiha Clan really was filthy rich.

An Explosive tag cost one thousand Ryo each. That alone was 2,000,000 Ryo.

Adding in the Kunai and Shuriken, the contents of this single scroll were worth nearly 5,000,000 Ryo.

No wonder.

After the Uchiha Clan was exterminated in the original story and the entire clan was reclaimed by the village, Sasuke could not even be bothered with any of it.

Even if most of the Uchiha Clan's wealth had been confiscated, the scraps left behind were probably enough for Sasuke to squander for the rest of his life.

Besides, that guy only wanted revenge. He probably had no concept of money at all.

When Jin had first transmigrated here and seen the 900,000 Ryo his parents had left behind, he had thought it barely counted as a huge sum.

Now, it seemed he had been too young.

The items the clan had used merely to compensate him were worth around 5,000,000 Ryo.

Compared to that, his parents had been poor.

Thinking of that, he could not help asking.

"Shisui, isn't this too much?"

"Did you use your own money to subsidize me?"

Shisui gave a carefree smile.

He smiled, shook his head, and shrugged.

"You're overthinking it. This is the compensation the clan gave you."

"It's only worth 5,000,000 Ryo. Is that really so much?"

"If I casually took on a B-rank mission, the starting reward would be 600,000 Ryo. For an A-rank mission, it would start at 2,000,000 Ryo."

"Whether for the clan or for me, the contents of this scroll are only the gains from a few missions."

"The truly valuable items are in the other two scrolls."

"The second scroll contains an early sword once carried by one of my grandfather's granduncles. In terms of pure value, it is worth at least 500,000,000 Ryo. After all, it contains a large amount of Chakra Metal, along with a small amount of Outer-world Meteorite Iron."

"As for the matching sword style, it is the Uchiha Clan Sword Style. It is not the slightest bit inferior to the Hatake Sword Style. It is simply that there are few swordsmanship experts within our clan."

"And the most valuable one is the third scroll."

"Izanagi and Izanami. They are the clan's forbidden secrets, the truly priceless treasures."

Hiss!

After hearing that, Uchiha Jin sucked in a cold breath.

Good lord.

No wonder they were one of the great noble clans from ancient times!

No wonder the Hokage faction had wanted to destroy the Uchiha Clan ever since the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.

Damn, they really were rich!
