Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 174 Uchiha Kin's Declaration

No one has ever dared to say such a thing about the clan leader.

Although Fugaku Uchiha has not yet become the clan leader, everyone already regards him as such.

Insulting the clan leader is tantamount to insulting the entire Uchiha clan.

Even our own homes won't do.

"Don't forget you're a member of the Uchiha clan!"

"Uchiha Kin!"

Someone roared angrily at Jin in a low voice.

Originally, seeing that Uchiha Kin had entered the door quite politely, I thought he knew what manners were.

But to my surprise, the reality was completely the opposite; they actually dared to directly mock the clan leader.

This is something they cannot tolerate.

At this moment, both hawks and doves were looking at Kim with anger.

I wish I could tear it to pieces.

"I didn't say I didn't acknowledge my Uchiha identity."

Jin shrugged indifferently.

This identity was something he was born with, something he couldn't get rid of, and something he had no intention of getting rid of.

If he hadn't been born into the Uchiha clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi would actually have been quite kind and approachable.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was quite magnanimous towards other ninja clans. After all, to secure his position as Hokage, targeting the Uchiha clan was the only politically correct course of action.

Unfortunately, this also meant that the Uchiha clan was destined to be unable to coexist peacefully with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The other party wanted to utilize the power of the Uchiha clan, but at the same time, they were extremely wary of it.

Kim was completely unaffected by the angry stares from these people.

"I just don't want to admit that the future clan leader is so stupid."

Jin emerged from the shadowy corner and walked right up to Fugaku.

"So, young clan leader, were you truly not influenced by the higher-ups when you joined the Dark Division?"

"What!?"

"Clan Chief Fugaku has joined the Anbu!"

All the Uchiha clan members were shocked, and Fugaku kept a low face and did not refute Kin's words.

Everyone fell silent.

The Uchiha clan, now in charge of the Fire Core, are very resistant to joining the Anbu.

After all, they haven't been pushed to the brink yet, and they still center their attention on the Uchiha clan.

Joining the Anbu is equivalent to becoming a supporter of the Hokage for them.

This was a major blow to Fugaku's reputation.

This silenced the others, instantly reversing the unfavorable situation for Kim.

"Uchiha Kin!" Uchiha Fugaku called out in a deep voice, "Unauthorized disclosure of the identities of Anbu members is a taboo in the village."

The identities of all members of the Dark Division are kept secret; even people from the same village cannot know them.

"What does it mean that you made no attempt to conceal your ANBU activities when you attacked me last time?" Jin questioned.

Fugaku remained silent; this was a difficult question to answer.

Everyone looked at the silent Fugaku, waiting for him to give a satisfactory answer.

Because the clansmen, who had been suppressed for so long, harbored deep resentment towards the Konoha leadership.

By doing this, Fugaku put himself in opposition to his clan.

If it weren't for their status as clan leaders, they would have already spoken up to question them.

Fugaku hadn't expected that Uchiha Kin would so openly expose his ANBU identity.

This means we're completely breaking ties with him.

"It's still because of the Third Hokage's orders."

Jin coldly stared at Fugaku, watching him clench his fists, his anger brewing in his heart.

But Fugaku didn't dare to actually do anything.

He admitted it, which would be tantamount to completely siding with the Hokage; he denied it, which would be to attack his own clansmen without authorization.

In any case, he has already fallen into a disadvantageous position.

The doves who had originally wanted to support Fugaku Uchiha also fell silent.

He attacked his own people.

This charge is too serious.

Fugaku never imagined that he would be forced to this point by Kin.

He could never understand why Jin was relentlessly pressuring him when he had never offended her.

It's as if his successful ascension to the clan leader would mark the end of the Uchiha clan.

He was clearly working hard for the Uchiha clan.

Kim was just being criticized, but now the two have switched places.

Don't be fooled by the silence of the Uchiha clan members; it's because he is the young clan leader.

"I was the one who let Fugaku in." Kako said with a gloomy face.

He realized that Fugaku was at a disadvantage if this continued.

How can Fugaku lead the entire clan if he is alienated from his people?

Although he was unaware that Fugaku had joined the Anbu.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi and his ilk have always been wary of our Uchiha clan, so naturally we need people to act as spies and monitor their movements."

"Since you are unwilling to risk your life as a spy for the Uchiha clan, Fugaku has no choice but to sacrifice himself for the sake of the clan."

Now all the other Uchiha glared at Kin once again.

"Beautiful!" Jin clapped his hands. Firecore played that move beautifully.

He had finally managed to push Fugaku into a dangerous situation, but a single sentence from the Fire Core completely reversed the situation.

but.

That's not what Jin's goal is.

"But the question is, do you still think Uchiha Fugaku is suitable to be the clan leader?"

Firecore fell silent.

Making his clansmen hostile towards Fugaku Uchiha was just a side effect; his real goal was to make even the Fire Core question Fugaku's abilities.

Regardless of the twists and turns involved, having understood everything Fugaku had done, does Kano really intend to hand over the family to such a person?

That was his initial goal.

Uchiha Fire Core.

This time, Huo He did not refute but instead questioned in a deep voice.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"I want to be the clan leader!"

Jin stated his purpose directly: the Uchiha clan has so many ninjas, all of whom are excellent subordinates.

"impossible!"

Uchiha Kakuzu resolutely refused, and the other ninjas looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never imagined that the clan leader could be replaced.

"Don't be so absolute. You say the village is targeting the Uchiha clan, not giving them a chance to become Hokage, but don't you also deny us truly capable ninjas a chance?"

Jin's words left Huo He with no room for rebuttal.

In terms of pure ability, Fugaku was indeed inferior to Uchiha Kin.

Unlike Kim's previous suggestion, Fugaku's actions this time were indeed somewhat disappointing, and he began to think about it.

but.

Uchiha Kin is too dangerous. If he really becomes the clan leader, he could lead the Uchiha clan to destruction.

"I, Uchiha Kin, do not believe I am weaker than..."

"Uchiha Madara".

Jin's voice slowly drifted over, and everyone stared wide-eyed at him.

No one in the clan has ever dared to compare themselves to Madara Uchiha.

How dare he?

Fugaku looked at Kim in disbelief, having always thought that Kim was comparing himself to him.

The other party actually dared to compare himself to Madara Uchiha.
