Originally, after learning that a Mangekyo had appeared in the clan, hailed as the ultimate power of the Uchiha, he was filled with reverence for Uchiha Jin.
That's why he asked his father to come and see the clan's strong one with his own eyes.
He was even more excited when he learned that this strong one in the clan, who had awakened the Mangekyo, was also Shisui-nii's teammate.
But, he never expected.
The reverence and excitement he felt before were now replaced by an equal amount of dislike and aversion.
Damn it.
He was an Uchiha, and although he was still young, he was a genius, wasn't he?
Pinching his face like this was really embarrassing!
Clearly.
Itachi's fantasy of a strong one had long since shattered into pieces.
"Don't pinch my face!" Uchiha Itachi said with a serious little face, "I've grown up! I'm a ninja!"
Uchiha Jin was all smiles.
Hearing this, he not only didn't stop but pinched Itachi's little face again.
"You're just a little kid, why are you trying to act like a profound adult?"
"Quick, call me 'Big Brother' and I'll make you a toy when we get back."
"How about it?"
Yes.
He still maintained the posture of teasing a child.
After all, this was just a little kid.
He had no intention of treating Itachi as an equal.
Uchiha Itachi had a headache.
In his helplessness, he could only look at Shisui.
"Shisui-nii, help me!"
However, regarding this.
Shisui merely shrugged, choosing to ignore Itachi's plea.
He, too, was helpless.
He had already tried to dissuade Uchiha Jin many times, but it had no effect at all!
Uchiha Itachi: "…"
He was speechless.
After trying various methods without any success, he reluctantly gave up.
Forget it.
Let it be.
Facing a completely resigned Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Jin eventually found it uninteresting.
And so, they continued with laughter and banter along the way.
Finally.
On the fifth day, everyone saw the gates of Konoha again.
At this moment.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter which Ninja Clan they came from, or even if they were civilians, everyone naturally relaxed upon seeing the gates of Konoha.
This was the feeling of community, also called home.
In fact, let alone them.
Even Uchiha Jin felt a sense of peace again when he saw the gates of Konoha.
"We're back!"
Uchiha Jin said softly.
Chapter 61: Lying Low Again, Awakening Two-Color Haki
Konoha, Uchiha Clan Grounds.
The slightly dilapidated small courtyard had been renovated by the clan before Uchiha Jin's return.
This was normal.
Since the death of Uchiha Kagami, the entire Uchiha Clan had only now finally awakened such a precious gem.
No matter how cautiously he was treated, it was basically not an exaggeration.
After all, the Mangekyo Sharingan was the pride of the Uchiha, and even more, the ultimate power of the Uchiha.
They were also afraid that if they truly disheartened Uchiha Jin, he would turn around and directly join the Hokage's faction, which would be disastrous.
So even if Uchiha Jin didn't join their faction, even the radicals who disliked him the most wouldn't make things difficult for him in this matter.
Yes!
Don't let their name, "Radical Faction," fool you.
In reality, they were a bunch of cowards.
No matter how fiercely they clamored, it was all nonsense.
Didn't they know in their hearts that they had already become enemies with Uchiha Jin?
When Uchiha Jin was weak, they cut off his survivor's benefits, relief funds, and all clan resources for his training… Essentially.
They were already enemies, and the probability of winning him over was very low, almost impossible.
But then what?
They still didn't dare to cause trouble, didn't dare to completely break ties with Uchiha Jin!
Especially regarding Fugaku's proposals.
Whether it was the clan industry dividends, or the Chief of the Military Police Force, or becoming an elder, or being promoted to the main branch… all proposals passed unanimously!
The Mangekyo Sharingan was that powerful.
"Hmm, not bad."
"This little life is truly leisurely."
"This is the life a person should live; fighting and killing are simply too boring."
"It's truly comfortable, refreshing!"
"…"
In the renovated small courtyard, Uchiha Jin lay leisurely in a grand armchair, a smile on his face as he basked in the sun.
He was naturally quite satisfied with his current comfortable life.
He even gave Fugaku a thumbs up.
Thanks, my friend, double-tap 666!
Especially hearing the system's notification sound, the smile on his face grew even more contented.
Yes.
He was indeed happy.
Everything he had guessed before had now become reality.
First, his squad members were all sent to the Land of Grass battlefield, while he alone was left in Konoha.
In the Hokage's words, Uchiha Jin was still young, had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and had even fallen into a coma because of it a few days prior.
Now was the time for him to recover, so how could he be sent to the front lines?
As the Hokage, he made the final decision.
Uchiha Jin was specially approved to no longer need to go to the battlefield.
