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

"Just wait for the new mission!"

Upon hearing this, Nara Kazama had an expression that said, "I knew it."

Uchiha Jin also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this also made him realize that his earlier consideration was correct.

The demise of the Uchiha clan was indeed related to their ideology.

To put it bluntly, it all comes down to interests!

If the Uchiha clan cannot change their mindset and conform to the world, then the Uchiha clan's future in Konoha will still follow the original timeline.

……

Time slowly passed.

No tasks have been issued for the past few days.

Every morning after waking up, Uchiha Jin would lie down directly on a beautiful grassy area outside the front-line camp.

bask in the sun!

As for cultivation, he had long since given up on it after acquiring the system cheat.

Since you can become stronger anyway, isn't it better to just lie down and relax?

evening.

Nara Kazama, who had just returned from his training, looked at Uchiha Jin lying on the grass with a gaze that was truly indescribable.

He walked over and sat down next to Uchiha Jin.

"Jin-kun, you're really strange."

"We've been at the front lines for several days now, and whenever we don't have a mission, we've basically been training non-stop."

"Everyone hopes to increase their strength as much as possible before encountering the enemy."

Why do you seem so leisurely every day?

"Anyone who didn't know better would think you were here for a picnic or outing."

Nara Kazama looked puzzled.

He really couldn't understand Uchiha Jin's thoughts.

The closer you get, the more blurry it becomes.

Every time I feel like I understand Uchiha Jin, he'll tell me the next second.

You're overthinking it!

The only thing he's certain of now is that Uchiha Jin is nothing like an Uchiha.

Whether in his personality or his actions, he is completely out of step with the orthodox Uchiha.

This gave Nara Kazama a real headache.

Yes.

He is a traditional Nara.

Although he may seem very lazy at times, it's only because he's bored.

Because he can see through almost anything at a glance.

Over time, it becomes boring.

He naturally appears lazy in everyday life.

But ever since he encountered Uchiha Jin, no matter how much brainpower he expended, he still couldn't give him an accurate definition.

This caused Nara Kazama great distress!

He kept trying to convince himself that there was no need to dwell on such things too much.

Anyway, he and Uchiha Jin were just forced into a small team; they weren't even friends in essence.

After all, a cannon fodder squad like theirs wouldn't bother cultivating something like 'bonds'.

just.

Despite being from Nara, he was unwilling to admit defeat.

So, in the last few days.

He had been trying to get close to Uchiha Jin, wanting to truly see through the man in front of him.

but……

Only after getting closer did I realize that this guy was even lazier than me.

He himself at least cultivated for a while every day, but since leaving Konoha, he had never seen Uchiha Jin cultivate.

This naturally piqued his curiosity, considering that Uchiha Jin's performance against the enemy a few days ago was quite impressive.

At least.

It definitely meets the standards of Class A.

He guessed that Uchiha Jin wanted to hide his strength, and he could roughly guess the reason.

The only thing I can't figure out is how such a lazy guy managed to cultivate to this level.

Now that everything seems fine, he naturally begins to test the waters.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Lying on the ground, Uchiha Jin looked at Nara Kazama in front of him, his eyes filled with deep apprehension.

Instead of answering his probing question directly, he spoke in a low, drawn-out tone.

"I'm also very curious about you."

"Based on your demonstrated abilities, getting into Class A will definitely not be a problem."

"So why did you act so useless and end up in Class B, this cannon fodder class?"

"And also, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio!"

"This is an ironclad rule for your three clans, and our class isn't without people from those two clans."

"How did you end up in the same team as me, an Uchiha?"

"How about it?"

"Nara-kun is very curious about me, and I'm just as curious about you."

"Would it be convenient for you to tell me?"

Chapter Twenty-Four: After some probing, Ishikawa Itsuki is back!

Kazama Nara fell silent.

He didn't know how to answer Uchiha Jin's question.

And, in response to this.

Uchiha Jin didn't press the matter further; he simply used this opportunity to tell Nara Kazama that everyone has their own secrets.

Since our relationship hasn't reached that point yet, there's no need to pry into other people's secrets.

Seeing that the other person remained silent, he continued to sunbathe.

Until the sky was filled with the setting sun.

Even though it wasn't as warm as the midday sun, he still enjoyed the feeling of relaxation.

Unlike in the village, where there's all sorts of scheming every day.

Tired of heart!

Seeing that it was getting late, he got up and yawned. But when he turned around to go back, he saw Nara Kazama beside him.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Uchiha Jin asked, his face full of confusion.

Nara Kazama raised his head upon hearing this.

After looking at Uchiha Jin for a moment, he spoke in a low voice.

“My father’s name is Nara Shikamei, and he and Nara Shikaku are brothers.”

"However, he failed in the struggle for the position of clan leader and then died in a mission five years ago."

"Before he died, my father told us brothers that we should never become geniuses in this life, and that it would be just as good to live an ordinary life."

"However, my two older brothers didn't listen. They were genius ninjas of the family since childhood, and then they died one after the other a few years ago."

"I listened to the advice, but I continued to perform mediocrely."

"So, I survived."

“The pig, deer, and butterfly are indeed indistinguishable, but I still gave up on my own initiative.”
