Chapter 82: Shisui arrives, questioning the reason

This indulgence lasted until evening.

Nara Kazama couldn't quite hold up and was just lying on the bed sleeping, while Uchiha Jin's tolerance for alcohol was a bit better.

Although he felt dizzy, he didn't have the slightest hint of drunkenness.

He lay on the bed, staring blankly through the window of the camp tent.

He was thinking!

What were the chances of Nara Kazama's plan succeeding?

Of course, more importantly.

Was this guy worth trusting?

He didn't know!

However, it didn't matter.

Right now, the two were only in a tentative contact phase; Uchiha Jin would never bring out his truly important trump cards.

Even if something went wrong on Nara Kazama's end, he was confident he could retreat unscathed; at worst, he would just defect.

As long as his system abilities weren't exposed, nothing else was a big deal.

At worst, he would just lay low for a while longer.

Once he had truly become a powerhouse, he could just stage a "king's return" in Konoha.

The only thing that gave him a headache was that, before he had enough power to protect his family, he could only say sorry to those pretty ladies.

Just at this moment.

The tent flap was lifted, and Shisui, smelling of blood, walked straight in.

Then, the next second.

He was choked into coughing by the overwhelming smell of alcohol.

It wasn't that he couldn't handle the smell of alcohol, he just had no mental preparation.

After all.

Who would expect a normal person to be drinking in a frontline camp?

And that too, under the premise that the enemy could launch an attack at any time?

Wasn't this just pure suicide?

After coughing for a long time, Shisui couldn't help but speak up.

"Jin, you guys..."

"How much did you drink? Are you crazy?"

"This is the frontline camp!"

He was truly speechless.

Conversely, Uchiha Jin, lying on the bed, showed not even a ripple of emotion at Shisui's sudden appearance.

After all, knowing Shisui, he understood that this guy would definitely come looking for him.

To his questioning, he only shrugged.

"What's the big deal? It's normal, right?"

"You have to know our squad just went through life and death, and our nerves were stretched to the limit."

"Anyway, it's impossible to be assigned missions in the short term."

"Why can't we take this time to properly relax and unwind?"

Shisui was speechless.

He truly felt helpless regarding the Uchiha Jin before him.

This guy always had a reason for everything.

He really couldn't win an argument against him.

Truly, not "Uchiha" at all!

After shaking his head helplessly, he couldn't be bothered to waste time on this.

He rolled his eyes, took a deep breath, and said.

"Seeing that you aren't drunk, come out with me."

"There are some things I need to talk to you about!"

Uchiha Jin did not refuse.

He had long anticipated this day, so naturally, there was nothing to be surprised about.

He got up, yawned, and followed behind Shisui, walking out of the frontline camp once more to a quiet seaside.

The two sat on the beach.

Facing the gentle sea breeze, looking at the boundless blue sky and white clouds.

Their moods calmed down for a moment.

After a long while.

Shisui's expression was calm as he spoke quite casually: "The day you left Konoha, why did you say those things to me?"

"You were too good to me, I didn't want to lie to you." Uchiha Jin's tone was calm.

Shisui was silent.

He could feel that Uchiha Jin was not lying.

Moreover.

Thinking back on the scenes of their interactions, it did indeed seem to be the case.

It was only because he had been good to him countless times that he received those few short sentences from Uchiha Jin before he left.

But, he didn't understand.

Yes.

For someone like him, who had shown talent from a young age and was constantly striving for peace between the Uchiha and the village, he naturally couldn't understand Uchiha Jin's thoughts.

Especially after realizing that Uchiha Jin truly considered him a friend, he naturally didn't want to test anything.

"Your strength is very strong!" Shisui's tone was calm, his gaze very sharp: "Even stronger than what the Anbu has investigated over these past few days!" ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
