Leaf Village: I, Uchiha, Am Done Lying Flat! Part 8

At that thought, his scalp went numb, and he hurriedly spoke up to stop him.

"Shisui, calm down."

"It's nothing. I don't blame you."

"Besides, I'm an adult now, aren't I? Don't get worked up!"

"Fucking hell, I'm begging you!"

"..."

Shisui Questioned Him, Leaving Fugaku Completely Dumbfounded

Uchiha Jin was utterly bewildered.

What the hell was this?

He could not help but smile bitterly. Why bring this up out of nowhere?

Didn't he know Shisui's personality?

More importantly—

It would have been fine in another world. At worst, Shisui would get angry after finding out, make a scene, and that would be the end of it.

But this world was fucking different!

The world of Naruto was known as the world of eyes.

Especially for the Uchiha Clan—once stimulated by negative emotions, they could very well awaken the Sharingan.

As for Shisui before him, he was an unparalleled genius of the Uchiha Clan.

If he were provoked into awakening the Mangekyo, Jin would never have another peaceful day for the rest of his life.

Lie low?

With both the Leaf Village higher-ups and the Uchiha higher-ups watching him?

Try lying low, then?

Just as Uchiha Jin was thinking, Shisui suddenly took a deep breath.

"Jin-kun, I'm sorry!"

"Before, I cared too much about strength and had no time to pay attention to anything else."

"But it's all in the past now."

"Now that I know, I won't let them off!"

"Wait here. I'll get justice for you!"

After saying that—

In the blink of an eye, Shisui vanished completely.

Instant Shisui truly lived up to his name!

But fucking hell.

I don't need that!

He had originally wanted to persuade him a little more, but before he could even speak, Shisui had already disappeared without a trace.

Uchiha Jin: "..."

He had ten thousand fucking curses in his heart, yet he did not know whether he should say them.

Seriously, what a sin!

All he wanted was to safely lie low through the Third Great Ninja War and slowly endure until he had enough strength.

Why was that so difficult?

He was truly worried.

It was not as if he had never considered revealing his strength and gradually growing through careful maneuvering.

But it really would not work.

Although Uchiha Madara was old, he was still fucking alive.

That old bastard had long despaired of the Ninja World and now had only one thing on his mind: carrying out the Tsukuyomi Plan.

He did not care in the slightest whether the Uchiha Clan was wiped out or not.

If Jin suddenly rose to prominence, he would either become part of Madara's plan or be directly killed as an unpredictable variable.

Not to mention that the Sage of Six Paths, that old schemer, was still in the Pure Land.

Who knew what he was thinking? Would he notice that Jin's soul came from another world?

And that was not even considering distant threats.

Just Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo, the Shadow of the Pot, were already beyond what he could handle at this stage.

Still, forget it!

There was no use thinking so much. He would deal with soldiers as they came and block water with earth.

With a helpless shrug, he flopped back onto the sofa.

Chakra +12

Fire Release +11

...

Enjoying the happiness brought by lying flat, he immediately forgot those minor unpleasantnesses.

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

As for what happened in the future?

Whatever!

He was cautious, not cowardly!

Meanwhile—

The enraged Shisui immediately arrived at the Clan Leader's home.

"Brother Shisui, is your mission over?"

The moment he entered the courtyard, the young Itachi ran over.

Looking at Uchiha Itachi before him, a faint smile could not help appearing on Shisui's cold face.

"Mm, it's over."

"I have seven days of leave this time. Is your father home now?"

"I have something to discuss with the Clan Leader."

Uchiha Itachi frowned slightly.

He was also a genius and could sense that Shisui was in a bad mood.

But he did not ask further, merely nodding.

"Father is in the living room. Go ahead, Brother Shisui."

"After you're done, can you take me out to play?"

Shisui smiled and rubbed Itachi's head before solemnly nodding.

Without hesitation—

After bidding Itachi farewell, he headed straight to the living room.

"Clan Leader."

"Shisui, you're here. Have a seat!"

Uchiha Fugaku's expression was calm. Only when he saw Shisui did he smile.

As the Clan Leader, the more geniuses there were in the clan, the happier he was.

For Shisui, one of the clan's greatest geniuses, Fugaku was even willing to treat him as an equal.

"Clan Leader, I..."

Shisui took a deep breath. He wanted to speak, but hesitated.

For a moment—

He did not know how to begin.

Fugaku saw his inner conflict and immediately said with a smile.
