Chapter 19: Since you want to court death, I will grant your wish

Hiruzen Sarutobi was slightly tempted.

But after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head and refused.

"No!"

"Uchiha Jin is a junior subordinate of Kagami, and he has been very close to Shisui lately. Shisui is our most important asset for monitoring the Uchiha."

"If he finds out that Jin has been transferred to Root, he will completely lose trust in us."

"Guarding against the Uchiha is the big picture, Danzo; I need you to understand that."

"Do not touch Uchiha Jin; this is my advice to you!"

Danzo's face turned incredibly dark.

His suggestion had been rejected again!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's indecisiveness made him feel extremely angry.

It was just a mere Uchiha waste; he really didn't believe it could affect the overall situation regarding the Uchiha.

"Hiruzen, you will regret this!"

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

After a standard exchange, Danzo turned around with an iron-blue face and slammed the door in anger.

He truly regretted it.

Back then, he was only a tiny distance away from becoming Hokage.

Otherwise, the one sitting in that office would be him!

The next day, early morning.

Uchiha Jin woke up yawning, washed up, left his house, and went straight to the Ichiraku Ramen shop.

After finishing his meal, he strolled leisurely toward his home.

However, this time, after turning into a small alley, he suddenly discovered that he was being followed again.

What the hell is this?

Yesterday it was Shisui, and today, who is it?

The Third Hokage's Anbu, or Danzo's Root?

However, the next second.

He knew he had overthought it.

Because he just glanced sideways and saw three Uchiha clansmen.

And, they were acquaintances.

Uchiha Isamu, Uchiha Ryo, and Uchiha Yoshio.

Uchiha Jin: "..."

He was very annoyed.

In the entire Uchiha clan, the ones who were often at odds with him were just these three.

The true high-level members and geniuses, even the elites, couldn't be bothered to target him every day.

It was just these three idiots, neither high nor low, who were annoying him every day.

In order to 'lie low', he endured it.

But looking at these three guys, it seemed they were addicted to it and wouldn't stop.

Thinking of this, his eyes flickered.

The next moment.

He took a turn ahead and headed straight toward the back of the Hokage Rock, deep into the dense forest near Training Ground 23, toward the edge of the Forest of Death.

Everyone was a ninja, and their movement speed was extremely fast.

Half an hour later.

Uchiha Jin jumped down from a large tree, looking at the lush forest before him, feeling very satisfied.

And just at this moment.

Uchiha Yoshio and the other two also jumped down and immediately surrounded Uchiha Jin.

"Uchiha Jin, you really deserve to die!"

"As a piece of trash, you are not worthy of the Uchiha name. Why don't you just die sooner?"

"Living like a coward is one thing, but you actually took the matter to Shisui."

"You waste who hasn't even mastered the Three Body Technique, your existence insults the honor of the Uchiha."

"Since the scenery here is beautiful, let this be your burial ground."

Uchiha Yoshio's face was incredibly cold.

His eyes were arrogant, his arms were crossed, and when he looked at Uchiha Jin, his eyes were full of mockery and disdain.

He was not a genius!

As a proud Uchiha, listening to the various praises for Shisui within the clan made him feel angry and frustrated, yet filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.

He knew clearly in his heart.

Although he was jealous and hated Shisui, he would never surpass him.

Therefore.

If he couldn't deal with the genius Shisui, couldn't he handle a piece of trash like you?

He chose to vent all the resentment hidden deep in his heart onto Uchiha Jin.

To put it bluntly, he was a bully!

If they were in the clan, he would at most beat Uchiha Jin up.

But, things were different now.

Where was this?

The edge of the Forest of Death.

Far from the village, no one was watching.

Especially thinking that Uchiha Jin seemed to be close to Shisui.

The evil in his heart was infinitely magnified, and the killing intent in his heart surged even more.

If he killed Uchiha Jin, Shisui would surely be sad for a long time, right?

Thinking that this act could take revenge on Shisui, he was so excited that he started to tremble all over.

"Let's do it together, kill him!"

He revealed a ferocious grin and immediately pulled out a kunai.

"Big brother, this..." Uchiha Ryo looked stunned and couldn't help but say: "Isn't this going a bit too far? Even if Jin is annoying, he is still an Uchiha!"

Uchiha Isamu also advised: "Yeah, big brother, let's just beat him up."

Clearly.

These two still had some sanity, so they naturally tried to dissuade him.

However.

Uchiha Yoshio had already developed killing intent; how could he be easily persuaded?

"Hmph, you two softies!"

"In any case, I must kill Uchiha Jin; you two can decide what to do yourselves."

"If this matter gets out, you won't be able to escape either!" ===== CHAPTER 20 =====
