Uchiha Are Indeed Very Good, But Also Truly Annoying!

Uchiha Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't offer any comfort.

This was something he had to figure out for himself; outside help wouldn't make much of a difference.

To be honest.

Because Hatake Sakumo had left instructions before his suicide, rather than the direct, forced suicide in the original story, combined with his previous chat with Uchiha Jin, and Nara Shikaichi's revelations when distributing the spoils...

Kakashi's state of mind was different from the original story now.

Aware of Konohagakure's many dirty tricks, he wasn't fixated on whether the mission or his teammates were more important. Instead, his entire mindset was focused on the truth and revenge.

Especially since he had already mentally prepared himself to some extent, he didn't break down upon learning the truth. Instead, after a simple outburst, he regained his composure.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Perhaps afraid Uchiha Jin would worry, Kakashi added a sentence at the end.

Uchiha Jin nodded.

He simply patted Kakashi's shoulder, then said with a grave tone, "Danzo is a disciple of the Second Hokage, a confidant of the Third Hokage, and an old friend. He also controls evil forces like Root behind the scenes. He's definitely not someone we small fries can face."

"Forget about this."

"Our goal now is to survive, then grow and become stronger as quickly as possible."

"To quote a common saying among civilians: a barking dog doesn't bite. Suppress all your resentment deep inside. Don't let others see it easily until you have the strength."

"Still as a maiden, swift as a rabbit!"

"All we can do now is endure and get stronger. When the time comes that we are truly powerful, we'll catch the enemy off guard and kill them with a single blow!"

Kakashi was taken aback, then nodded solemnly.

Even Nara Shikaichi and Takada Fujiwara looked at Uchiha Jin with strange expressions.

This wasn't something an Uchiha would typically say, but after exchanging a glance, the two didn't dwell on it too much. Instead, they felt that having Uchiha Jin with such ideas would make their future interactions more harmonious.

This was a good thing!

Nara Shikaichi pondered for a moment, then spoke directly, "Do we need to find the Uchiha squad and work with them on missions?"

"No, I refuse!" Uchiha Jin said immediately, "Shikaichi, give up."

"Although merging with the Uchiha squad would definitely increase our strength, it would also interfere with our plans."

"Uchiha are all single-minded!"

"Our goal is to hide in the Land of Rain, cultivate and grow stronger slowly, stall for time, and use the gaps between missions to avoid Root's schemes. The Uchiha wouldn't accept this."

"If we truly allied with them, they would complete missions as quickly as possible and return to the Kikyo Mountain camp without hesitation."

Nara Shikaichi was stunned for a moment, then slowly nodded.

That's right!

He shouldn't have been so foolish; how could he not have thought of such a simple truth?

Then, his gaze towards Uchiha Jin naturally began to change. How could this guy be more like a Nara than himself?

"Agreed!"

"Jin is right, we can't take the risk."

"Most Uchiha are mentally ill, let's not work with them."

Takada Fujiwara spoke, expressing his opinion.

And regarding this.

Both Nara Shikaichi and Kakashi naturally agreed.

Uchiha Jin's mouth twitched.

He was increasingly beginning to understand why the Uchiha couldn't integrate into Konohagakure. Even this very simple mission showed the gap between the Uchiha and ordinary ninjas.

No wonder!

The Uchiha were disliked and isolated, and there was indeed a reason for it.

Even he, an Uchiha clansman, after only a moment's consideration, was reluctant to team up with other Uchiha!

Just then, Takada Fujiwara coughed, "Um, Jin, I'm very sorry."

"What I said earlier wasn't quite right. I don't have any issues with you at all, and I'm still very willing to be your teammate."

Nara Shikaichi and Kakashi also expressed their agreement!

Yes.

Although Jin was also an Uchiha, he was different from the average Uchiha, and there was no pressure in teaming up with him.

And regarding this.

Uchiha Jin sighed, unsure of what to say.

After a moment of thought, he shook his head helplessly.

"It's fine, no need to apologize!"

"As an Uchiha, I don't want to team up with other Uchiha either."

"Uchiha, truly detestable!"

As Uchiha Jin grumbled, Takada Fujiwara and the others also found it a bit hard to keep their composure.

What the heck!

One Uchiha hates his own clan members; they really didn't know what to say.

However...

Considering Uchiha Jin had the mindset of a normal person, they could actually understand him a little.

Following that.

After a brief chat, everyone began their individual training.

Yes!

Their trip to the Land of Rain this time wasn't truly to investigate Pakura; the so-called mission was just an excuse.

In reality.

The Konoha higher-ups knew Pakura's true purpose.

Sawada Seiichi giving them this mission was merely an opportunity to pull them away from the front lines, thereby granting them more training time.

Simply put, this mission didn't need to be done.

When they felt the time was right, they could head back anytime, and Sawada Seiichi would consider the mission complete, allowing their team to get this B-Rank mission for free.

This was also why their team didn't want to encounter the Uchiha team.

With the Uchiha's rigid way of thinking, they wouldn't accept such a laid-back mission. They might even see it as an insult to the Uchiha, and if things escalated, they might even dare to make a big deal out of it. In the end, Sawada Seiichi would likely be criticized and punished.

On the surface, the Uchiha were righteous!

Takada Fujiwara's team was indeed not doing the right thing, but the issue was that human relationships were everywhere. Everyone, as normal people, just wanted to live. If you had connections and didn't use them, weren't you just a fool?

Therefore.

The Uchiha were indeed righteous, but everyone just hated them!

Time slowly passed, and soon it was night.

After finishing their training, everyone took out their storage scrolls, brought out their pre-prepared large pots, bowls, chopsticks, and ingredients, and then began preparing dinner for the day.

It was at this moment that Uchiha Jin suddenly stood up.

His face was filled with anger and indignation, and he fiercely punched the cave wall.

"Danzo? Root!"

"Damn bastards, I will never forgive you!"

Uchiha Jin gritted his teeth and said coldly, word by word.

Takada Fujiwara and the others were taken aback and instinctively looked at Uchiha Jin.

And in the next second.

Uchiha Jin began communicating with the system, then started receiving system rewards.

[Ding, congratulations to the host!]
