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

"According to the agreement made between the village and the various ninja clans when Konoha was founded."

“The village cannot forcibly conscript any ninja clan elder. Even if an elder is absolutely necessary, it can only be discussed and not ordered.”

"So there's no need to worry."

"Once I get back to the village, I'll just focus on getting stronger."

"Ignore the rest!"

"Unless the Uchiha clan is wiped out, the village cannot command you."

"...".

Chapter Sixty: On the way back to Konoha, teasing Itachi.

Fugaku has left.

There was no intention to win over Uchiha Jin; he simply explained the clan's arrangements, gave him a reward package to unlock the Mangekyou Sharingan, and then left.

Don't take away a cloud!

Uchiha Jin looked completely bewildered.

Yes.

He had imagined countless scenarios for meeting Fugaku, but this was the one he had never thought of.

Surprisingly, the clan head, Fugaku, didn't try to win him over.

This made him, the kaleidoscope, feel so humiliated!

But never mind.

Overall, it's a good thing.

As for what to do today, we can only take it one step at a time.

He had less of a bond with the Uchiha clan before, so perhaps he could have stood by and watched the night of their massacre. But with his bond with Shisui, a crack was finally torn in his cold heart.

Although we didn't talk much about Fugaku this time.

But given how generous the offer was, could he really not feel any gratitude at all?

He's not a heartless and ungrateful person, is he?

The grace of dripping water is reciprocated by the fountain.

This was something his ancestors had given him in his past life.

"Forget it, thinking too much is useless!"

"We'll talk about the specifics later."

"Anyway, the Uchiha clan can be of great use in Nara Kazama's plan."

"Just like Kazama said, he may have ended his life by defecting, but what about his descendants?"

"I was a bachelor my whole life in my past life, am I going to be a single dog in this life too?"

"Shouldn't we think about the children first?"

"Even after so long since I came from another world, I still can't change my mindset from my previous life."

"Passing on the family line is ingrained in our bones."

"However, Fugaku has been a great help. With the status of Elder Uchiha, he can now live a more comfortable life in the village."

"Even the Hokage and Danzo can't order me around!"

"No matter what choices I make in the future, I can at least live a peaceful and good life for a while before the night of annihilation occurs."

"Everything else is negotiable."

"It's this police chief who really doesn't want to take on this mess!"

"But, it doesn't matter."

"I'll just slack off then. I didn't learn any other skills in my past life, but I certainly learned how to slack off, be lazy, and pass the buck in the company."

"Hmm, no problem!"

"..."

Uchiha Jin murmured.

After figuring out all the issues, my mood naturally started to improve.

As for the mess between the Uchiha clan and the Konoha leadership, he's too lazy to even think about it now, adopting a completely nonchalant attitude.

Anyway, there's still water.

Even if Shisui can't handle it, Kazama can come up with a solution.

Let them work hard, I'll just be the mastermind behind the scenes, and relax and do nothing.

Well, cool!

……

Two days later.

Although Xiaochun, who is related to Zhuanqin, is skilled in internal strife, she still has a talent for diplomacy.

After a brief consultation, an agreement was reached.

The war is over.

A week later, Kirigakure sent a team to Konoha to sign a ceasefire agreement and announced that they would join Konoha's side in the Third Shinobi World War.

Subsequently.

A portion of the ninjas remained at the front lines, while the main force followed the negotiation team back to Konoha.

Uchiha Jin.

He was still with the team, chatting casually with Shisui and the others as they relaxed on their way to Konoha.

Yes.

Compared to going to the battlefield, returning to Konoha naturally brought a sense of relaxation.

only.

To Uchiha Jin's surprise, he unexpectedly encountered a figure in his own team.

Uchiha Itachi!

He is only four years old now, still a cute little boy.

Her chubby little face makes you want to pinch it.

In fact, he did it.

Mmm, that feels good!

After squeezing it once, I wanted to squeeze it again.

It must be admitted that Itachi Uchiha was quite cute when he was a child.

It is a pity.

It just grew crooked, it's all Fugaku's fault!

Why would you send a four-year-old kid to the battlefield?

Trying to force growth is not a good habit!

This is something proven in a past life: before children's minds are fully developed and their temperaments are completely stable, it's best to keep many things away from them.

It's like being in a past life.

What four-year-old child doesn't spend their time watching cartoons or interacting with toys every day?

Who would dare let their four-year-old child read Machiavellianism or Das Kapital?

Isn't this just plain stupid?

But never mind.

Since it's not his own child, he can't be bothered to interfere.

Anyway, I'll pinch Itachi while he's still young, because I won't be able to do it again later.

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

His small face was dark.

His face was full of displeasure, and he couldn't even be bothered to think about the meaning of life or why we had to fight.

Yes.

He was very unhappy.
