Uchiha Jin felt a surge of boldness.
He now felt fully confident about infiltrating the Hyuga Clan.
Late at night.
The night sky once again enveloped the land, and Uchiha Jin, clad in a night suit, quietly left the Uchiha Clan Grounds.
All along the way.
He saw more than twenty Anbu members hidden around the Uchiha Clan Grounds.
"Seriously, I never thought…"
"The Third Shinobi World War hasn't even ended yet, and the Hokage faction is already so wary of the Uchiha to this extent."
"But, whatever."
"It was expected, so there's nothing to be surprised about."
"As long as it doesn't affect my slacking off, why bother with so much?"
Uchiha Jin narrowed his eyes.
He had no intention of engaging with these Anbu members and simply walked past them.
Yes.
Even if he didn't primarily specialize in genjutsu, with just his Mangekyo Sharingan, those Anbu members wouldn't even detect him.
Approximately fifteen minutes later.
Uchiha Jin arrived at the Hyuga Clan Territory again and immediately activated his Observation Haki.
Following that.
Within his sensory range, he discovered over thirty pairs of Byakugan, which was a dozen more hidden sentries than he had found during his previous investigation.
Seeing this, he inwardly thought how lucky he was.
He was fortunate not to have acted rashly last time, or he would most likely have been caught.
But, damn it.
The Hyuga Clan, are they sick?
This was still the periphery of the Hyuga Clan Territory, and he hadn't even truly penetrated deep into the heartland, yet he had already found so many hidden sentries.
What about the heartland?
It was simply insane!
Uchiha Jin, seeing this, felt that the Hyuga Clan must suffer from persecutory delusions.
One must know that the outskirts of Konoha itself already had Anbu, Sealing Team, and the Uchiha Police Force. Wasn't that enough to put them at ease?
Although the Hyuga Byakugan was valuable, was it really necessary to go to such extremes?
Precisely because of this, he increasingly felt that...
How ridiculous the original story of Hinata being kidnapped and Hyuga Hizashi's suicide truly was.
With such strict surveillance in the Hyuga Clan Territory, could a mere ordinary Cloud Village ninja just waltz in as if unopposed and snatch Hinata away?
If this matter didn't have Sarutobi Hiruzen's approval, with Anbu and Root working together, and Danzo deliberately stirring up trouble behind the scenes?
Heh heh, not even a dog would believe it!
He secretly rolled his eyes, grumbled to himself, and then, with his Kenbunshoku active, quietly evaded the various hidden sentries.
If he truly couldn't avoid them, then he would directly kill them.
Yes.
He had indeed considered before, throwing this blame onto the Cloud Village.
But, he gave up.
Through his conversation with Nara Kazama, he knew that the more one did, the more mistakes one made, so it was better to just barge in directly.
Only through such random killings would fewer clues be left, and it would be less likely to leave any flaws.
So, he decided!
He would just kill directly, at worst, kill a few more Hyuga Main Family members, and then dig out their Byakugan.
Throughout the Shinobi World, there were so many people and factions coveting the Byakugan... let them slowly investigate!
Half an hour later, he entered the Hyuga core area.
Without any unnecessary words, he quietly infiltrated, then killed and dug out eyes.
This process was incredibly smooth.
After killing several families, he once again arrived at the home of that Hyuga Main Family member who had tormented Hyuga Aya.
"Who are you?"
Hyuga Genichi, who was playing some indescribable game with several Hyuga Branch Family girls, immediately screamed in horror when he saw Uchiha Jin suddenly burst in.
Uchiha Jin said nothing unnecessary.
He knew that villains died from talking too much.
Immediately, without hesitation.
He directly chopped off his head with a single strike, then skillfully dug out the Byakugan, and finally, after killing all those poor Hyuga Branch Family members, he leisurely left.
"Everyone, don't blame me!"
"Every wrong has its source, and every debt its master. I'm also doing this for self-preservation."
"Anyway, living is suffering for you all, so it's better for me to give you complete liberation."
"If you really must blame someone, then blame your bad luck."
"I don't have the ability to save you!"
After leaving that house, Uchiha Jin spoke softly.
Even after many years of transmigrating, a trace of softness still lingered in his heart.
He had never killed indiscriminately!
Except for those from hostile forces who had to be killed, and those who threatened his safety, he would never actively engage in slaughter.
At most, he would stand by with a cold gaze.
But today, he broke his vow!
Originally, these poor Hyuga Branch Family members didn't have to die.
But, there was no choice!
With such a major incident, Konoha would definitely conduct a thorough investigation.
To protect himself from exposure, everyone who had seen him had to die, and their brains also had to be destroyed.
Even though he wore a night suit!
Because his strength was still low; even with the Mangekyo activated, he could only dare to fight against a Kage-level opponent.
But in today's Konoha, there wasn't just one Kage-level individual.
There were at least five!
Plus dozens of Elite Jonin, over two hundred Jonin, seven or eight hundred Special Jonin, and countless Chunin and Genin.
Uchiha Jin, still in his dormant period, although he had gained a lot of freedom, even being able to refuse the Hokage's orders.
But, similarly.
His special treatment had to remain within the rules of the game, and he currently lacked the ability to break or even set those rules.
Once he did that, he would become a target for everyone.
To break or even set the rules, one would at least need the strength of the Six Paths of Pain... Two hours later.
Uchiha Jin returned home quietly and without incident.
He changed out of his night suit and destroyed it with Fire Release.
Then, changing back into his pajamas, he yawned and went to wash up.
"Hmm, not bad."
"Tonight's operation was perfect, leaving no trace."
"Even if Nara Shikaku were to investigate, he wouldn't be able to detect any signs."
