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

If you don't have a plausible reason, you're practically asking for trouble!

Therefore, all I can say is...

Of course, such a small amount of information is probably not something that Uchiha Jin would care about.

Since their abilities have already been exposed, they naturally don't care if others know about them.

"Other than that?"

"Have you figured out what Uchiha Jin's goal really is?"

Why would he hide his strength?

Nara Shikaku continued speaking.

Obviously.

That was his ultimate goal.

He is now almost certain that the three Uchiha who died were killed by Uchiha Jin.

He wasn't interested in matters within the Uchiha clan.

But what he cared about most was the corpse of the Cloud Village ninja.

As the class leader of the Jonin, he also controlled Konoha's intelligence department.

Therefore, he confirmed that the corpse of the Hidden Mist Village that suddenly appeared outside the Forest of Death that day was the same Hidden Cloud Village ninja who had suddenly disappeared without a trace two years ago when the Hidden Cloud Village came to kidnap Shinobu.

So why?

What exactly happened that day?

This matter concerns Kumogakure and also the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

He needs to figure this out.

This is why he wanted Nara Kazama to join Uchiha Jin's team.

on the one hand.

The rest of the Nara clan are all in Class A.

Forcibly assigning someone to a small team will naturally attract a lot of attention.

He didn't quite trust Nara Kazama.

But he was confident that he could control Nara Kazama, and that this was just a small matter.

He believed that with Nara Kazama's insight, he could easily handle it.

But, unfortunately.

Nara Kazama will honestly explain his previous questions.

But don't even think about this problem!

This all involves his biggest scheme with Uchiha Jin.

Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly.

"I don't know."

"To put it bluntly, the team that I was in and Uchiha Jin were in was just a cannon fodder team."

"Uncle, you should know very well what cannon fodder squads are like."

"These kinds of squads don't develop bonds, and they don't have time to do cooperative missions."

"Talking about trust in this kind of team is nonsense."

"So, apart from missions, Jin Uchiha and I have basically never discussed anything."

"However, in my guess, Uchiha Jin actually has no trust in the Uchiha clan at all."

"Hiding their strength makes sense!"

Chapter 43 Kazama Returns, Explaining the Reason

Nara Shikaku frowned slightly.

Obviously.

He was not very satisfied with this answer.

But, same thing.

He had to admit that Nara Kazama made a lot of sense.

Konoha doesn't really value these ordinary squads, or even hastily assembled cannon fodder squads meant to be sent to their deaths.

after all.

The original purpose of forming such squads was to send them to their deaths and deplete the enemy's manpower.

To put it bluntly, these squads are just consumables!

under these circumstances.

Who cares if there are any bonds between the members of these teams?

So, here comes the problem.

Since there are no ties between them, being able to cooperate even slightly on the battlefield is already quite good.

That's asking for too much; it's unrealistic!

They weren't even friends, and there was no connection between them; they were just gathered together for the mission.

They distrust each other and even fear one another.

Do you expect Uchiha Jin to have a heart-to-heart talk with you?

Bullshit!

Hey!

Having realized this, Nara Shikaku felt quite helpless.

After a moment of contemplation, he spoke softly.

"Well, I see."

"That's alright, I believe there will be opportunities in the future."

"Your new team members have been announced. You'll still be in the same team as Uchiha Jin, and Shisui, the genius of the Uchiha clan, will be your team leader."

"Your team will even be paired with a Hinata this time."

"Did you see it?"

“Unlike the previous cannon fodder squads, this time your reorganized squad is a truly elite squad.”

"The missions undertaken by elite squads are all quite dangerous, so cultivating bonds between teammates is essential!"

"Kazama, this is very important."

"You must understand this: if you succeed, I'll count it as an A-level mission within your clan."

hiss!

Upon hearing this, Nara Kazama gasped in shock.

Yes.

This surprise was not an act.

He really couldn't understand what heinous things Uchiha Jin had done.

How could his own uncle care so much about this matter?

No, absolutely not.

Once I get back, I need to figure this out before I can find a solution.

otherwise.

How can they accomplish anything important if they are constantly being watched by their own clan uncle?

He didn't think that he and Uchiha Jin could truly build their own power under the magnifying glass of their clan uncle.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath.

Feigning surprise, Nara Kazama said with a hint of excitement.

"I see."

"Don't worry, Uncle, I will do my best."

Kazama Nara's face was full of determination.

He did not make any more specific guarantees, which was not something the Nara clan could do.

Overdoing the performance will cause problems.
