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

This is just right.

This is also true.

After hearing these words, Nara Shikaku finally smiled and nodded.

immediately.

After chatting about other things for a while, he waved for Nara Kazama to leave.

……

The seventh squad, inside the camp.

Uchiha Jin sat on his bed, his brain starting to work frantically.

Why is Nara Shikaku targeting me?

Inside the tent, all was quiet.

Shin Kudo has already left to meet his new squad members.

It seems unlikely that the two will see each other again unless the war ends.

after all.

Who told me to have such bad luck, I was directly assigned to an elite squad.

Absolutely, damn it.

Kazama Nara isn't here either!

However, Uchiha Jin thought that this guy was most likely called away by Nara Shikaku.

This is a good thing.

When Nara Kazama returns later, I can ask him about this.

For something as complicated as this, you really have to ask Kazama.

This is so mind-bending!

Even after living two lives, he still couldn't quite figure it out.

Time slowly passed.

About two hours later, Nara Kazama finally came in.

Uchiha Jin stood up immediately.

After carefully looking around the tent and finding it quiet and deserted, he spoke in a low voice.

"Kazama, you went to Shikaku's place in Nara, right?"

Nara Kazama nodded.

He also used his family's shadow technique to check the surroundings before asking in a low but serious tone.

"Jin-kun".

"We're in the same boat, so I'll just ask you some questions directly."

"What exactly did you do to make my uncle pay such attention to you?"

"do you know?"

"He's been asking me to find out your secrets. If I succeed, he's willing to give me an A-level mission within the family."

"You must tell me honestly, and we need to plan this carefully."

"We absolutely cannot let my uncle keep an eye on us, otherwise our plan will be impossible to carry out."

“My uncle is a smart man. If he really keeps a close eye on us, he will find out the truth from any of our slightest actions.”

"He is top-notch in terms of strategy."

Uchiha Jin's lips twitched.

He truly hadn't expected that Nara Kazama would speak first before he could even open his mouth.

But he was also confused!

If only we knew the reason, but the problem is, he doesn't know either.

Hey!

After a helpless sigh, he shook his head bitterly.

"I really don't know!" Uchiha Jin thought for a moment before speaking directly: "The only time I met your clan uncle was when three people in the Uchiha clan died."

Upon hearing this, Nara Kazama immediately said, "Tell me the details, the more detailed the better, and I need the truth to deduce the truth."

Uchiha Jin nodded.

Considering that this was indeed not a big deal, he thought for a moment and then spoke frankly.

Without any concealment, he told almost everything he knew directly.

then.

He looked at Nara Kazama, wanting to see just how capable his strategist was in terms of wisdom and strategy.

He wasn't disappointed.

Almost instantly, Nara Kazama spoke.

"I see."

"Jin-kun, you're overdoing it. You killed three Uchiha, so why throw away a Kumogakure corpse?"

"The more you do, the more suspicious things become."

"If you had simply chosen to leave back then, you might have been a little suspicious because there would have been fewer traces, but in reality, no one would have been watching you."

"Because at that time, no one knew your strength."

"In the end, it will most likely just fizzle out."

"The death of three Uchiha is of no consequence to Konoha."

"But things are different now!"

"The Cloud Hidden corpse you left behind has indeed had a rather significant impact."

"If I'm not mistaken, that corpse of Kumogakure must be from the time Kumogakure tried to kidnap Shinji Nami two years ago."

"Kishina is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is of utmost importance; we absolutely cannot afford any mishaps."

"I suppose that's why my uncle is so focused on you."

"Three Uchiha, so what if they die!"

"But since it concerns the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, this matter must be thoroughly investigated."

Chapter 44: Elite Squad Formed, Mission Begins Again

Uchiha Jin instantly understood.

I was indeed wrong.

The mistake made this time was indeed quite egregious.

There's no need to regret it.

Just be more careful in the future. The most important thing now is to make amends and ensure that we don't make the same mistake again.

"How to deal with it?"

Too lazy to dwell on it any longer, Uchiha Jin said, "Nara Shikaku is a bit too easy to fool!"

Nara Shikaku frowned in deep thought.

Like Uchiha Jin, he doesn't dwell on the past.

People need to look forward.

As long as we learn from this experience and pay more attention in the future, that's all that matters.

His mind worked quickly, and after a moment he spoke directly.

"You're right, we can't lie to Nara Shikaku."

"The more you do, the more mistakes you make; you can only tell the truth!"

"You must be plotting something."

"Using a small conspiracy to cover up a big one."

“What we’re planning must not be exposed, so we must devise a little conspiracy, a little conspiracy that can make sense.”

"First of all, you killed those three Uchiha."

"You also killed that Cloud Village ninja. In fact, you already had enough strength back then, but you didn't want to get too involved with the Uchiha clan. In fact, because you were treated differently when you were a child, you harbored a hidden resentment towards the Uchiha clan."
