Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

If he had started from a young age, working his way up from small things and gradually figuring out the nature of the world and power, he might have actually become a revolutionary.

But, unfortunately.

He only had a superficial understanding of many things, and with Hiruzen Sarutobi's persuasive words, he was completely fooled.

After figuring this out, Uchiha Jin's mind cleared.

"What I wanted to say is still what I said before," Uchiha Jin said in a low voice, "Nine-Tails, you're too strong!"

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Progressing Steadily, Zhi Shui's Worldview Begins to Shatter

You're amazing!

Upon hearing those words again, Shisui looked slightly bewildered.

However, he is not stupid.

After a moment's thought, he understood.

Regardless of the Nine-Tails, the Uchiha, or Hatake Sakumo.

These three things all have one thing in common, which is what Uchiha Jin expressed at the beginning.

They are too strong!

Yes.

Like the Uchiha clan, how strong is Hatake Sakumo?

Captain of the Anbu (Anti-Ninja Unit), leader of the Jonin (High-Ranking Ninja) Team, and head of the Interrogation and Torture Department.

Of the seven major departments in Konoha, Hatake Sakumo alone holds three positions.

A few months before his suicide, he was bestowed the title of "Hokage Half-Sleeve" by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Almost.

Before Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, he was practically half a Hokage.

And now?

After Hatake Sakumo died, Sarutobi Shinnosuke took over as captain of the Anbu.

The Jonin class leader became Nara Shikaku, and the interrogation and torture chief became Morino Ibiki.

These three people share a common characteristic.

They were all members of the Hokage lineage.

Ibiki Morino was born a commoner and only rose to his current position thanks to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Nara Shikaku, needless to say.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio is the traditional Hokage faction; they support whoever becomes Hokage.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke, he's practically their own son.

Good guy!

I hadn't thought about these things before, but now Uchiha Jin reminded me.

After thinking about it carefully, I felt a chill run down my spine.

Is this still the kind-faced Hokage I remember?

Hatake Sakumo, a dignified half-Hokage and half-Hokage, died mysteriously, while the Hokage faction emerged victorious.

and then?

Kakashi Hatake joined the Hokage lineage.

that's it.

The entire influence of Hatake Sumo was completely wiped out.

"why?"

"This still doesn't make sense."

Why did Hatake Sakumo commit suicide?

Shisui looked completely bewildered; he couldn't quite accept it.

His worldview shattered, he immediately found a problem and began to ask questions frantically.

After all, this understanding was completely different from what he had thought.

Uchiha Jin, however, looked on with a sigh.

"That's exactly what I admire about Shigeru Hatake."

"He was a true ninja, so he had no choice but to commit suicide."

"He is worried about Konoha."

"If he doesn't choose to commit suicide, then he will have no choice but to fight against the Hokage's faction."

"If Konoha falls into chaos, will other ninja villages let such a good opportunity pass by?"

"On the contrary, everything can be resolved as soon as he dies."

"Konoha will not be thrown into chaos because of this. Even in order to minimize the impact, Hiruzen Sarutobi would not dare to touch his son, Kakashi Hatake."

"That is indeed the case."

"Kakashi Hatake became Minato Namikaze's apprentice, thus fully committing himself to the Hokage lineage."

"It was precisely because of this that the Hokage faction completely brought Hatake Sakumo's die-hard loyalists under their command."

"The failure of Hatake Somo was inevitable."

"The mean is the pass of the mean, and the noble is the epitaph of the noble."

"How can a noble person deal with a despicable one?"

"The more upright and honorable something is, the easier it is to deal with!"

"The Hokage faction's so-called victory was merely due to Hatake Sakumo's unwillingness for Konoha to suffer as a result."

"That's what I admire about Shigeru Hatake, but I will never become him."

After saying this, Uchiha Jin shut up completely.

He said everything he needed to say.

If I continue, I'll only make Shisui's mind more chaotic.

This is perfect!

Let him think about it and figure it out himself before we talk about it.

therefore.

After doing all this, Uchiha Jin simply lay down on the sofa.

I closed my eyes and enjoyed the sound of the waves and the golden sunlight overhead.

On the other hand, let's look at the other side.

Shisui looked completely bewildered, his mind racing with thoughts.

He was covered in cold sweat.

Obviously.

Shisui, whose intelligence was already quite high, was not as stubborn as Itachi.

It wasn't too difficult for him to accept it.

But the more you understand...

He became increasingly pessimistic about the future of the Uchiha clan.

How to do?

He kept thinking about this, but couldn't get an answer for a long time.

Time slowly passed.

Shisui's face grew paler and paler, his eyes filled with fear.

He was somewhat incredulous about Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Although what Uchiha Jin said was just his speculation, there was actually no evidence.

But it still didn't work!

He dared not make the slightest mistake in such a momentous matter as saving his people.

Wait... Uchiha Jin!
