The Battle of the Team Can Be Lost, the Saint Must Die!

Arrogant!

Unprecedentedly arrogant!

The harrowing dangers and bitterness of the past, every moment spent dancing on the edge of a blade—it was enough to bring shame upon the Qidian Orphanage.

Yet, having traversed the rugged path to reach this broad highway, today could finally be considered a turn of fortune. Although he had not awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, he had at least punched through that thin layer of window paper known as the Kage-level.

As for a damn saint like Uchiha Shisui, one must simply cut him down without a word; letting the man breathe another mouthful of air was an act of irresponsibility toward oneself.

What kind of useless, pig-like teammates were these!

With the Uchiha Clan's profound foundation, even without the appearance of the Mangekyo Sharingan, they could still maintain a dynamic balance within Konoha's political system through their unique way of survival.

Not to mention that within the same generation, multiple Mangekyo Sharingan had appeared, along with an ultimate, fierce divine artifact like Kotoamatsukami...

With such a perfect opening hand, a dragon riding on the face of the enemy—tell me, how could one possibly lose!

Even a moron wouldn't have ended up with the clan wiped out, yet facts proved that the existence of a "saint" was truly more pathetic than a moron.

Not only did he meet a miserable end himself, but he also passed down this idiotic saintly will; the saying that "a name for disaster lasts a thousand years" was true indeed.

Lu Xun once said!

It is often those kind intentions that lead humanity into a living hell.

Deeply inspired by this, Uchiha Jin had also realized a truth from it.

Team battles can be lost, but the saint must die!

Dying at the hands of an enemy could not be called glorious, but being sabotaged to death by one's own people was a true disgrace.

Therefore, from the moment Uchiha Jin descended into this world, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi had already been added to his Death Note.

It had nothing to do with right or wrong!

It had nothing to do with justice or evil!

It didn't even have to do with gains or losses!

Whoever acts like a saint, I kill; not even Jesus can save him, I said so!

And starting today, this was the beginning of Uchiha Jin putting that goal into practice!

"So!"

"Shisui, what are you waiting for?"

Uchiha Jin, appearing incredibly small beneath the Susanoo, looked down at Uchiha Shisui from his high vantage point like a Giant Spirit God, his tone holding no attempt to hide his contempt.

"Uchiha Jin!"

The giant Susanoo on the arena platform suddenly raised the massive sword in its hand, letting out a roar filled with fury toward the area below.

Uchiha Shisui was filled with immense regret. He should have decisively used Kotoamatsukami at the clan training grounds not long ago; perhaps that would not have led to the innocent death of a clansman, nor would it have exposed the Mangekyo Sharingan he had hidden for so long.

For the Uchiha Clan, the Mangekyo Sharingan was the horn of war, inevitably stirring up the Radical Faction's enthusiasm for an armed coup, and even the Moderates and those who swayed with the wind would change their allegiance at any moment.

In such a situation, did Shisui's own will matter?

Regardless of the final outcome, it would never be something a saint like Shisui would be willing to accept.

At this moment, he finally realized that he had truly been bluffed by Uchiha Jin earlier, missing the best opportunity to rectify his mistake.

But now... it was not too late!

Uchiha Shisui's mind raced frantically, contemplating how to respond to the subsequent events and how to launch a thunderous strike against Uchiha Jin.

However!

"Shisui, calm down!"

With two flickering shadows solidifying, Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Fugaku appeared simultaneously on the arena, their expressions agitated as they looked up at the massive Susanoo before them.

One was a loyal fan of Uchiha Madara and the Great Elder who had read all the clan's secret records, while the other was the Uchiha Clan Head who had personally experienced the awakening of the Mangekyo Sharingan.

They understood perfectly... the grief in Uchiha Shisui's heart at this moment!

They never expected Zongxian to be Shisui's "dearest," nor why there had never been any trace of it in the past.

Although Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Fugaku did not know the reason, they were certain that Shisui was suffering from post-awakening stress disorder; as long as he calmed down, the clan would gain a sufficiently powerful combat force.

"Shisui, control yourself! Zongxian's spirit in heaven wouldn't want you to do this!"

"That's right, life and death are at one's own risk on the arena; surely Zongxian would be happy that you awakened the Mangekyo!"

Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Fugaku watched Shisui's every move with vigilance, while singing in harmony to "comfort" him.

What are these two doing?

Uchiha Jin was speechless as he watched the two who had suddenly appeared to disrupt his plans. A line of helpless black marks flashed across his face, and he realized that his plan to personally end Shisui had effectively gone down the drain.

After all... he was a saint, after all...

Aside from that indiscriminate sympathy, his other greatest weakness was his tendency to compromise!

Sure enough!

Feeling the powerful aura from Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Setsuna, Shisui, who had been blinded by rage, calmed down slightly.

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui also began to ponder.

Why?

How could Uchiha Jin dare to provoke him so brazenly, especially when he had already awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and when only a short while ago, Jin had been so wary of the terrifying power of Kotoamatsukami?

However, this sliver of doubt vanished as Shisui's gaze swept over the circle of elite Uchiha ninjas lined up neatly around Uchiha Jin, and then to the Great Elder and the Clan Head, who stood before him exuding an overwhelming aura.

Hiss...

Having calmed down, Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but gasp, a bone-chilling coldness seeping into his heart.

Uchiha Jin's killing blow did not rely on the "Flame Demon" Zongxian, but on the formidable, well-prepared Uchiha Clan standing before him right now.

But why go to such lengths!

He was only trying to achieve peaceful coexistence between the Uchiha and the village; why would they go so far as to sacrifice the life of a clansman just to orchestrate this death trap against him?

That's right!

He, Uchiha Shisui, was loyal to the Hokage!

But setting aside the facts, was the Uchiha Clan completely without fault?

Facing the pairs of burning gazes fixed upon him, the grief and indignation in Uchiha Shisui's heart began to cool bit by bit.

Even with the Mangekyo Sharingan, it was absolutely impossible to take on so many Uchiha elites head-on, and even if he could, the final outcome was not one Shisui was willing to accept.

Therefore!

Uchiha Shisui gave up, offering Uchiha Jin nothing but a look of immense fury and a chilling, murderous intent that promised a reckoning in the future.

Uchiha Jin clearly didn't care about this. Although he had failed to use the Uchiha army to beat Shisui to death and had missed a golden opportunity to grow significantly stronger in a short period, it wouldn't have much of an impact on the final result.

After all, the moment Uchiha Shisui revealed his Susanoo, his ultimate fate had already been sealed.

It was merely a question of whether it would be miserable... or even more miserable!

If Shisui were to die in battle here, it would at least be a fulfillment of his wishes, and Uchiha Jin would have gained a handsome profit in the short term.

But Shisui did not deserve such a decent and merciful end. Since he had missed the rare spark of goodwill that had arisen today, Uchiha Jin looked forward to seeing the expression on this saint's face when he was eventually betrayed by the entire world.

Uchiha Jin shifted his gaze away from Shisui's massive Susanoo and looked toward the four giant Hokage statues in the distance.

"I truly look forward to it!"
