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

Uchiha Fugaku remained silent!

He truly hadn't expected that the elders of the clan would be so well-informed.

It has been no more than five hours since they learned of this matter, and the elders of the clan have already found out.

No need to guess.

He knew it must be someone from the front lines using the Ninja Cat Clan to relay information within the clan.

After a moment of contemplation, he spoke softly.

"I understand your considerations."

"However, we are currently in a period of war, and all the clans in Konoha are under the command of the Konoha leadership."

"I cannot make such an arrangement without the Hokage's consent."

"But don't rush."

"I have already reported this matter to the higher-ups in Konoha through special channels."

"Regarding Lord Jin's arrangements, we should receive accurate information within two days at the latest."

"During this period, the safety of Lord Jin will have to be entrusted to you all!"

Yes.

Even though Uchiha Jin had already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

But he still hadn't considered actually going head-to-head with the Konoha leadership.

He prioritized stability within the clan, while placing his hopes on the next Hokage to change the Uchiha clan's reputation in Konoha.

To put it bluntly...

He is not a very capable person and is not suitable to be the clan leader.

However, when Madara Uchiha left Konoha, the Uchiha clan promoted his lineage to the position of clan leader in order to maintain peaceful relations with the village.

What they value is the weakness of this lineage!

Ambitious but lacking in wisdom, fierce in appearance but timid in courage, and afraid of being overpowered but lacking in authority.

There are many, but the divisions are unclear; the generals are arrogant, and the policies are inconsistent.

These words were used to evaluate Yuan Shao, but they are also quite fitting when applied to Uchiha Fugaku.

This is also true.

Everyone was very unhappy after hearing Fugaku's words.

That's the Mangekyou Sharingan!

Its importance to the entire Uchiha clan is self-evident.

How can you simply hand over something of such strategic importance to the village to handle?

The Konoha leadership are from the opposing camp!

In everyday matters, showing respect to the village leadership is fine, but this is something that's practically a strategic nuclear bomb...

Hey!

Everyone exchanged glances and let out a helpless sigh.

They were helpless!

If it were within the clan, the elders would have the authority to speak up.

But they can't do it!

They were just some Jonin, how could they not obey the clan leader's decision?

"This, yes!"

"We will protect Uchiha Jin!"

The Jonin nodded and then withdrew.

Uchiha Fugaku: "..."

He could certainly tell that these people had a problem with him.

Even he himself knew that if the village found out about the Mangekyou Sharingan, they would definitely do something about it.

But he was helpless.

The village is already targeting the Uchiha, and now it's during a war. If I were to lead the way in disregarding the village's decisions, the rift between the Uchiha and the village would only deepen.

and so.

He'd rather take a risk.

It must be said that his considerations were reasonable.

But, unfortunately.

They simply can't see the big picture at all.

Even if he respects the Konoha leadership this time and puts on a show of obedience, Hiruzen Sarutobi will not feel the slightest gratitude towards him; on the contrary, he will become even more ruthless.

Conversely, if they don't listen.

Because there were indeed special circumstances, and Konoha had not yet made a proper plan to target the Uchiha.

and so.

Konoha, on the other hand, would not say anything, at most cursing a few words behind people's backs.

And then, that was it!

This incident might even make them more wary, but they would be even less likely to take action.

On the contrary, Fugaku's behavior directly revealed his cowardice, which would only make Hiruzen Sarutobi take him even less seriously.

They fear power but do not cherish virtue; this is the epitome of that!

This is actually the fundamental reason why Uchiha Jin chose to live a life of hiding after transmigrating and simply couldn't be bothered to deal with Fugaku.

If you get too close to this guy, he'll ruin you sooner or later.

But this time...

There's just nothing we can do about it.

……

Konoha, Hokage Building.

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the letter in his hand, his face grim and uncertain.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Because what he feared most has now come to pass.

Uchiha!

Since the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, why has the Hokage lineage been so intolerant of the Uchiha clan?

That's the reason.

The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is simply unreasonable.

No matter how weak they are before they open their eyes, their strength will immediately skyrocket once they do.

Second.

The Uchiha clan also has some kind of problem with their brains!

Arrogance and looking down on others are things I don't care about.

The key issue is that the Uchiha clan is emotionally unstable.

Don't be fooled by her innocent and kind appearance now; once she's provoked, her personality will change drastically.

If it were another ninja clan, it wouldn't matter.

Even if your mindset changes drastically, it won't cause too much damage.

The Uchiha were different.

After their mindset undergoes a drastic change, their strength will increase dramatically.

Obito Uchiha is a prime example.

Before awakening, he was the worst student in his class. But after witnessing Rin Nohara's death, his personality changed drastically, and his strength increased countless times.

With Kamui, which is practically a bug, even Minato Namikaze, who unleashed the Yellow Flash, couldn't defeat Obito.

The Senju brothers, Hashirama and his brother, were not bothered by this unstable ninja clan.

The two brothers.

Either you have enough strength, or you have enough cunning.

In short, they didn't take the Uchiha clan seriously.
