Uchiha Jin's eyes flickered.
Fugaku only sent a Chunin to fool him, and Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't summoned him yet. This proved that Takada Fujiwara hadn't exposed his Sharingan.
This step of dividing the spoils, it seemed he had made the right choice!
What the ancestors said in his past life was indeed true: "The world bustles, all for profit; the world rushes, all for gain."
Without any emotional foundation, entanglement of interests was the fastest way to break the deadlock. Of course, interest was also a double-edged sword. He still needed to quickly build relationships on the battlefield in the future.
This was the right way to do things!
He pondered for a moment.
Considering the day was still early, he came to the clan's small training ground.
"Great Fireball Technique!"
Uchiha Jin's hand seals were fast. A fireball, two people high, was spat out, smashing the target not far away with a roar.
Amazing!
Looking at the huge fireball before him, a faint smile appeared on his lips. It seemed Uchiha Madara's understanding of Fire Release had indeed helped him a lot!
He began to use the Great Fire Annihilation he had just learned, followed by the Ninjutsu he already knew. Once he truly got used to his current strength, he started his training in Nintaijutsu for the day.
He didn't try to scheme for the Eight Inner Gates. He practiced Uchiha Nintaijutsu, following the conventional Uchiha assassin route.
The reason? It was simple!
His body couldn't withstand that intensity. Even with low-intensity Uchiha Nintaijutsu, he found it quite strenuous to practice.
Even if he could get his hands on the Eight Inner Gates, he would be willing to endure the suffering, but he would most likely injure himself.
After a brief internal sigh, he activated his Sharingan and began to cast Ninjutsu, training his Uchiha Nintaijutsu.
In a fight between regular ninjas, lacking even a little meant death!
Since he had already obtained the Sharingan and new Ninjutsu, and his internal Chakra had increased eightfold, he needed to retrain his body to be proficient with new moves and redesign his tactics, among other things.
Five hours later.
Uchiha Jin was completely exhausted, but his eyes shone brighter and brighter.
"Good!"
"In five hours, I've finally mastered it."
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Uchiha Jin collected his Kunai, Shuriken, and other items before walking out of the clan grounds refreshed towards Ichiraku Ramen.
Because his parents returned too late, and he had already gotten tired of eating at their family's izakaya, he decided to try this place that didn't discriminate against Uchihas.
It had been five years since he transmigrated. It was time to visit!
Ten minutes later.
Uchiha Jin sat down at Ichiraku Ramen and said calmly, "One signature deluxe Tonkotsu Ramen, please."
"Alright, please wait." Teuchi was stunned.
After all, Uchihas were rarely seen, and they basically never came to his shop to eat.
But.
It was just as Uchiha Jin had thought. Although Teuchi Ichiraku was a bit surprised, he still showed no discrimination towards him. He greeted him with a smile and turned to make the ramen.
There were quite a few people coming and going in the ramen shop. Although the patrons frowned and their eyes showed dislike at Uchiha Jin's appearance, no one dared to provoke an Uchiha easily.
Twenty minutes later.
After finishing his meal, Uchiha Jin said, "Thank you for the meal," and left the ramen shop with a smile.
"Jin, what a coincidence!"
Uchiha Jin turned his head and saw a little girl walking towards him.
Her face was full of innocence, and she said with a smile, "Oh, right, congratulations!"
"I didn't expect you, Jin, to graduate at the same time as Kakashi. Compared to geniuses like you, I feel so inadequate."
Uchiha Jin's mouth twitched.
Graduating early to be cannon fodder, was that something to be congratulated for?
Looking at the girl with a pure smile before him, he suddenly felt a severe headache.
Nohara Rin!
This was Obito's beloved. He truly didn't want to get involved with her.
Let alone Nohara Rin in front of him, he didn't even want to get involved with the characters from the original story, because the protagonist group also represented trouble.
Kakashi was just an accident!
As for people like Nara Shikaichi and Takada Fujiwara, they were the ones Uchiha Jin genuinely wanted to interact with, because they lacked the noble righteousness of the main and supporting characters.
He really didn't want to associate with these guys who had been brainwashed by the "Will of Fire"!
Because coming and going means trouble!
In fact, it was the same.
Nohara Rin had just appeared when, before Uchiha Jin could reply, Obito, wearing goggles, rushed over: "It's just graduating early, what's so great about it? Once I awaken my Sharingan, I'll surpass this guy in minutes!"
"Rin, believe me!"
Seeing Uchiha Obito's eyes full of wariness, Uchiha Jin couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Truly—a fated nuisance!
However, he couldn't be bothered to argue with Obito, because getting too close to this guy would easily attract Uchiha Madara's attention: "Rin, you work hard too!"
"Our squad should be heading to the battlefield in a few days, so I'll be quite busy recently. See you later!"
Uchiha Jin said, his tone calm.
After a simple greeting to Nohara Rin, he magnificently ignored Uchiha Obito and turned around with a flourish, leaving.
So aloof!
He survived as an invisible nobody within the Uchiha clan by relying on this trait. The opposite example was the Uchiha Obito right in front of him; this guy was quite unpopular within the Uchiha clan, with almost everyone mocking and provoking him when they saw him.
This was also normal. A husky mixed among a pack of wolves; it would be strange if Obito wasn't conspicuous.
This guy suffered a lot of ostracism and bullying within the clan, but his mind was too simple, and he never truly took it to heart.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Obito, who turned to darkness in the original story, became so crazy, completely disregarding the lives of the Uchiha clan!
Uchiha Jin's approach was completely different; his aloofness made him blend in with the crowd among the Uchiha.
"Rin!"
"Why are you hanging out with a guy like that, who has no manners?"
Seeing Uchiha Jin leave, and even ignoring him the entire time, Obito's nose was so crooked with anger.
Nohara Rin was the white moonlight in his heart. Having Kakashi was already annoying enough, and now this Uchiha Jin had appeared out of nowhere.
So every time he found an opportunity, he would secretly badmouth Uchiha Jin.
Nohara Rin, however, frowned slightly upon hearing this, sounding a little annoyed: "Obito, how can you say that? Jin is just a bit introverted. In that regard, he's quite similar to Kakashi, not at all 'impolite' like you say."
Hearing this, Obito panicked completely and immediately began apologizing profusely.
"Fine, I forgive you!"
Although Nohara Rin forgave Obito, she kept looking at Uchiha Jin's retreating back, her eyes filled with deep confusion and worry.
