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

"Let's not talk about the distant past, but just the recent battlefield in Kirigakure. The Uchiha clan lost a total of seven Jonin, more than fifty Chunin, and nearly three hundred Jonin."

"If it were any other ninja clan, Konoha would have already held a commemorative event by now, wouldn't it?"

"But what about the Uchiha?"

"The entire Hidden Leaf Village seems to be blind; probably no one even knows about this."

"Even among ordinary people, the Uchiha's reputation is even worse."

"What do you think, is it interesting?"

"...".

Chapter 77 The Cautious Uchiha Jin Notifies Everyone to Attend the Clan Assembly

Uchiha Jin looked on with disdain.

Although there are some things I'm too lazy to say, and I don't even have a good impression of the Uchiha clan.

But, damn it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions were indeed despicable and disgusting.

Itachi's face was gloomy.

Perhaps he didn't chat with Jhin last night, so having never encountered the Will of Fire, he was probably just confused.

However, things are different now.

After thinking about it all night, he realized that if he couldn't figure something out, he should start from the perspective of self-interest.

With the Uchiha clan having a bad reputation, who benefits the most?

The answer is obvious!

That's the village's high-ranking officials, the lineage of Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"I see!"

"No wonder I always felt something was off; the truth is actually so simple."

After making a brief remark, Itachi fell silent completely.

Although he is young, he is not stupid.

I know that even if I know the answer to some things, I can't say them directly.

Otherwise, the impact would be too great.

On the other hand, however...

Although the father and daughter vaguely sensed that something was wrong, they couldn't quite put their finger on what it was.

"Jin, don't leave things unsaid."

"Explain yourself clearly, this is making people very uncomfortable."

"Understand?"

Sweet flag, unable to hold back, spoke.

She hated thinking about such a troublesome problem.

Even Itachi, that brat, understands it, but she still can't figure it out.

I feel very uncomfortable.

But, unfortunately.

Uchiha Jin glanced at her, sighed, and shook his head.

"If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it anymore."

"Don't ask about this, don't even think about it. Just pretend I never said it."

"I can only say that this matter involves high-level power struggles, the struggle between the Uchiha clan and the village's higher-ups. It's not a good thing for you commoners to know too much."

So, just forget about it.

Upon hearing this, Shouda and Changpu instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Obviously.

Even though they are ordinary people, they still know the most basic things.

Don't be fooled by Hiruzen Sarutobi's usual smiling face and friendly demeanor.

Even though they were father and daughter, they dared not underestimate them in the slightest.

Konoha is a military camp.

Someone who can command a group of ninjas who fight all day long, and actually treats Hiruzen Sarutobi as a kind old man, wouldn't even survive an episode in a TV series.

"Changpu, stop asking." She chuckled, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Let's eat quickly."

“This…” Changpu was a little reluctant, but she still shrugged: “Okay, I understand.”

only.

Uchiha Jin was still a little uneasy, so he secretly activated his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Without any wasted words, he immediately began to cast an illusion.

They subtly altered the memories the two had just shared.

"Teacher!" Itachi couldn't help but speak.

Uchiha Jin shook his head: "They are just commoners, and they are on good terms with me."

“If they show even the slightest clue in their daily lives, Hiruzen Sarutobi will never let them go.”

"We can't afford to take this risk."

Itachi remained silent.

But in the end he nodded.

Next.

The room was once again filled with joy, as if nothing had happened.

……

Afternoon, two o'clock.

After helping the father and daughter clean up, Uchiha Jin bid farewell to Itachi.

After the two returned to the clan's territory, he sent Itachi back to sleep, while he himself yawned and went home, lying down in the courtyard to sunbathe.

He looked completely relaxed.

On the other hand, Itachi, on his way home, was stopped.

This person was none other than Tie Huo.

"Itachi, are you going home?" Tetsuka asked in confusion, "Why are you home so early today? Aren't you going to continue your training?"

Itachi Uchiha was slightly taken aback.

But I still chose to tell the truth: "My teacher saw that I hadn't slept last night and thought that forcing myself to practice would lead to an unstable foundation, so he told me to go back and catch up on my sleep."

"With an unstable foundation, I..."

Tie Huo looked completely bewildered.

Then I had a million thoughts running through my mind, but I didn't know whether I should say them or not.

He really wanted to complain.

However, considering that Itachi's apprenticeship with Uchiha Jin was arranged by the clan head Fugaku, he could only remain silent no matter how unhappy he was.

"I... never mind!"

"Since the clan chief has made this arrangement, he must have his reasons."

"Drive carefully on your way home!"

Uchiha Tekka's face was terribly gloomy.

Itachi, however, remained calm.

Tiehuo was well aware of Tiehuo's worries, but he firmly believed that his teacher would not lie to him.

Even though their time together was short, Jin's character, wisdom, and strength...

He knows better than anyone.

only.

Itachi did not explain Tetsuka's lack of understanding.

I simply greeted him and then continued on my way home.
