Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 196 The Radicals' Defection

At Uchiha Kin's home.

Kin and Uchiha Hikai sat facing each other, while Hiruko and Hyuga Kiyoshi sat behind Kin.

Huo Jie glanced at Hiruko. He knew this person; he used to be very close to the Sannin, but now they were drifting apart. He had heard many Jonin from Konoha complain about him.

They missed the opportunity for the three ninjas to rise to prominence.

However, the other Hyuga family member is completely unaware of this.

The Hyuga and Uchiha clans were never close, and were even subtly hostile to each other.

Huo Jie gestured to Jin with his eyes, suggesting that these two shouldn't be here.

"Don't worry, Mr. Fire Realm, they are my own people."

Kim responded with a smile.

His words have a lot of meaning. They mean that the two of them have submitted to Jin, but it has nothing to do with the Uchiha.

After all, the three of them were tied up tightly.

This was unbelievable to the Fire Realm. Although Gold had a record of victories, it was not enough to qualify him as an elite Jonin.

It's astonishing that at this time, he was able to have a Jonin following him, along with a member of the Hyuga clan.

It's important to know that the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan have always been at odds.

"Then I'll be frank, Lord Jin."

Strength is the foundation of the Uchiha clan, and during the meeting, Gin had already displayed an overwhelming aura.

This also signifies that the power of metal is very strong, so the fire realm naturally refers to it as "Master".

"We hope that Lord Kim will lead us."

Huo Jie placed his hands on his knees, lowered his head, and made a sincere request.

This also indicates a desire to completely break away from Fugaku Uchiha and side with Kin Uchiha.

"Who are you?" Jin asked with great interest.

"All Uchiha who are dissatisfied with their current situation."

Radicals.

A group of Uchiha who advocated seizing the Hokage position by force, claiming that the position originally belonged to the Uchiha.

Originally a group led by Uchiha Setsuna, they faced constant suppression from conservatives after Setsuna was imprisoned.

Later, due to pressure from higher-ups, it gradually became the dominant force.

The idea of ​​a coup existed within the Uchiha clan from the very beginning, but it was always suppressed by the conservatives.

Kim inquired.

"So you're their representative?"

Huo Jie nodded.

This was the result of discussions among the radicals. Now that Fugaku Uchiha has completely sided with the conservatives, they have no choice but to do something.

The entire Uchiha clan will side with the Hokage and then be at the mercy of the higher-ups.

In reality, Fugaku Uchiha did not show any preference for any particular faction.

It's just that because of Kim's antics, he's now considered to be leaning towards the conservatives.

Uchiha Kin gave himself a thumbs up.

"Now Hiruzen Sarutobi is eyeing us covetously, Danzo Shimura is persecuting us more and more, and even two advisors have ill intentions towards us. If the Uchiha do not resist, they will become lambs to be slaughtered at will."

Moreover, Uchiha Kin's parents were radical generals who were originally preparing to compete for the Hokage position, but they unexpectedly sacrificed themselves on the battlefield against the Kirigakure.

I wonder if Uchiha Kin in front of me knows their plan to compete for the Hokage position.

He didn't bring it up, since both of them had passed away, and bringing it up again would only upset Jin.

"So what do you mean?"

Jin stroked his chin. In fact, even if he were in that situation, he couldn't think of a way to turn the Uchiha clan around without killing the F4.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi is getting old, and he will have to step down as Hokage in a few years. We want to promote Lord Kin to the position."

"But I have absolutely no interest in the Hokage position."

Jin tilted his head and looked at the Fire Realm; he truly had no interest in the Hokage position.

Becoming Hokage would actually restrict most of his actions.

"This..." Huo Jie was a little flustered; he hadn't considered this issue before coming.

Who in Konoha doesn't yearn for the position of Hokage?

"But I'm very interested in the position of clan leader. I wonder what your thoughts are."

Jin stated his purpose directly.

"We are willing to support Lord Kim."

Fire Realm also gave a very sincere answer.

They had actually already discussed this matter, since if Fugaku Uchiha were to take over, their good days would be over.

They originally only had this one option.

But Jin told them that at the last meeting.

They actually have more options.

Even the conservatives were grumbling that Kim's ideas had such a huge impact on them.

"As soon as Minister Kim enters the Security Department, we will promote him to the position of Vice Minister."

Currently, the Security Department only has one minister, Fugaku Uchiha.

Although the number of radicals is relatively small, a deputy ministerial position is still acceptable.

Jin shook his head.

"Security Department, there's no rush now."

The Security Department is now under the control of Uchiha Fugaku. Given Fugaku's indecisive personality and his naive and idealistic thinking, he wouldn't make things difficult for Kin.

But his supporters might not be so sure.

Jin doesn't believe he can understand the intricacies of this situation unless he intends to use force to suppress others.

"You are welcome to visit my home sometime in the future if you have time. As for other issues, we can address them gradually."

Kim responded with a smile.

Since the radicals have taken the initiative to join in, he naturally won't turn them away.

"Yes, Lord Kim."

Uchiha Fire Realm left.

Jin stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Now that the Uchiha's power has been extended to him, how can he transfer these to the Land of Rain?

After all, the Land of Rain is severely short of manpower.

I sorted out my thoughts.

He then turned to look at Beiliuhu.

"let's go."

Darkness swept over the three of them.

When the darkness dissipated, the three were already in a brightly lit underground laboratory.

In the dark basement, someone had been waiting for a long time.

"My lord." Three figures suddenly knelt at Jin's feet, while three others looked panicked.

"You are going to betray the group..."

Before they could finish speaking, darkness engulfed the three of them.

When the darkness dissipates.

"My lord." The other three people knelt down at the same time.

Jin smiled gently at the group and said, "Thank you for your hard work. The rest will proceed as usual."

"Yes!" the three leading ninjas responded in unison.

The six of them then slowly left and headed towards the entrance of the research lab.

"I never imagined that you could even control Danzo's people."

Hiruko looked at Kim with shock; the three of them seemed to have had their perceptions completely altered.

"It's just a small trick, don't be surprised, I wouldn't use it on my own people."

Jin smiled and gestured to Hiruko.

He'd be a fool to believe that.

However, Hiruko dared not refute him, as he felt he was gradually figuring out Kim's personality.

This guy is just like his strength.

It's very dark.

"This is where you will conduct your experiments from now on. As for the experimental subjects, you will need to bring them yourself. You don't need to worry about being discovered here, because I have already set up a barrier around this place."

From the very beginning, he was wary of Hiruzen Sarutobi's telescope technique.
