Chapter 83

"Leading the squad through the Land of Whirlpools for a full six days, dodging the main Mist forces countless times, and still managing to kill so many Mist ninjas."

"Especially in the hands of one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Fuguki Suikazan, carrying two ninjas and escaping for an hour, successfully holding out until the main Konoha force arrived."

"Why, exactly?"

"Since you have this strength, why not show it?"

He was slightly agitated.

He had been thinking about Uchiha Jin's behavior for several days, but still couldn't figure it out.

He just looked at Uchiha Jin, his eyes filled with contemplation and confusion.

He really didn't understand.

However, on the other side.

Uchiha Jin's tone was very relaxed: "What else could it be? I just didn't want to."

"Why didn't you want to?" Shisui hurriedly pressed.

"I don't want to get involved in the messy business between the village and the Uchiha." Uchiha Jin's tone was steady, carrying a hint of disdain: "In my view, the Uchiha are doomed; they are destined to be unable to escape the fate of clan extermination."

"If I were to show my talent, I would definitely be recruited by that group of losers in the clan."

"And I don't want to have too deep a connection with the Uchiha; if I did, when the Uchiha are exterminated, I would definitely be purged by the village."

"Although I have the surname Uchiha, I am not deeply tied to the clan."

"Why should I be buried with the Uchiha?"

"Isn't the current situation quite good? When the Uchiha are exterminated, I will likely be spared as an orphan; anyway, I don't have much affection for the Uchiha."

"Even in the worst-case scenario, at most I'll just become a rogue ninja."

"Because I don't have deep feelings for the Uchiha, the intensity of the village's pursuit definitely won't be high; it's highly likely they'll just put a bounty on me in the black market."

Hiss!

At Uchiha Jin's words, Shisui was completely dumbfounded.

His mind went blank.

He had thought of countless possibilities before, but he had never thought of this one.

But, how could that be?

How could the Uchiha be exterminated? The village...

No!

Absolutely impossible!

Shisui took a deep breath and hurriedly tried to soothe him in a low voice.

"Jin, rest assured, there won't be a conflict between the clan and Konoha."

"I have been working hard for this for years; I guarantee that what you are worried about won't happen."

"I will definitely find a way to deal with the radicals in the clan."

And, on the other side.

Hearing these words, Uchiha Jin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Um, sorry."

"Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't laugh, unless I really couldn't help it."

"But Shisui, can you stop telling jokes?"

"What radicals do the Uchiha have? If there really were radicals, would the Uchiha have turned into this ghost of a state?"

"In my view, there are only moderates and surrenderists in the clan now, plus a useless clan head."

"But, that's normal!"

"Like the Uchiha, these old antiques from the Warring States era are destined to be unable to adapt to the rules of the new era."

"Being exterminated is just a matter of time."

"A day early or a day late, it doesn't make much difference." ===== CHAPTER 84 =====
