"I wonder if those guys in the Akatsuki have run off."
Uchiha Jin left Konoha, muttering to himself with his hands behind his head.
The first time he attacked the Akatsuki, those guys had simply changed bases.
This was his second attack on the Akatsuki, and he had no idea whether they had fled.
If they had,
finding Orochimaru wouldn't be so easy.
He could take his time. There was no rush.
Leaving the village also gave him a chance to avoid Shisui Uchiha. That guy's condition was getting worse and worse.
Ever since awakening his Sharingan, he seemed like a completely different person.
Before, Shisui Uchiha had merely been mindlessly loyal to the village. Now he was a full-blown psychiatric patient.
Nothing about his behavior seemed normal.
When he had nothing to do, he scored decorative cuts into his arms.
It felt like he had awakened some strange masochistic tendencies.
Until he found a solution, he had better avoid too much contact with him.
After all, who could predict the thought processes of a lunatic?
"It's my fault for not noticing sooner..."
Uchiha Jin felt a little regretful.
If he had noticed Shisui Uchiha's condition earlier and intervened with treatment in time, he wouldn't have had the rotten luck to fall under Kotoamatsukami's genjutsu.
Fortunately, things had worked out in the end, and he had successfully stopped Kotoamatsukami's control.
It didn't seem as invincible as he had imagined.
Weak stuff.
Nothing special.
"What a shame. If only Kotoamatsukami hadn't been used."
Uchiha Jin had originally planned to have Shisui alter Obito's will so he could seize the chance to kill him outright.
Who would have thought that events would outpace his plans?
That idiot Shisui had used Kotoamatsukami long ago. Worst of all, he had refused to admit it
