Tekka immediately took the lead.
A crowd of Uchiha surrounded Jin, their faces full of defiance, and headed straight for their seats.
Jin Uchiha wore a smile, his manner exceptionally humble, utterly unlike the clansmen around him.
Whenever someone's gaze swept his way, he even smiled and nodded in greeting.
As for the arrogance radiating from the other Uchiha, however, he acted as though he hadn't noticed and offered not a single word of correction.
There were two reasons.
First, he genuinely couldn't change them. He had lectured them eight hundred times back in the clan, and it hadn't done a damn thing.
Uchiha arrogance was bred into their bones.
As the saying went, a leopard couldn't change its spots. He couldn't even straighten out Uchiha Tekka, his most capable subordinate, let alone anyone else.
Actually, never mind them.
Just look at the clan's prodigies, Shisui and Itachi, who seemed the easiest to get along with.
Usually, they presented themselves as friendly, humble, and courteous, looking thoroughly approachable.
But when it came down to it, Jin Uchiha, who had dealt with them the most, knew better than anyone that those two were more arrogant at heart than all the rest.
Compared with Shisui and Itachi, the Uchiha present were nowhere near their league.
Their arrogance simply took different forms.
Shisui and Itachi buried theirs deep in their bones, where ordinary people couldn't detect it at all.
Shisui considered himself an Uchiha genius and a descendant of old Kagami, so his pride left no room for anyone else in his eyes. He devoted himself entirely to changing the clan.
No one could change his mind. No matter how difficult it became, even if it cost him his life, that resolve would never bend.
As for Itachi, his arrogance knew no bounds.
