Chapter 46: Uchiha Shisui's Request, Uchiha Jin Speaks

Uchiha Shisui, his face alight with agitation.

Naturally kind-hearted, he could not accept such darkness.

However.

Though his face was filled with rage and his eyes brimmed with murderous intent, he did not act too impulsively.

For this was the Hyuga family's internal matter, and he was merely an Uchiha.

The rules of the Hidden Leaf Village.

The Hokage governs only the village and the registered ninja.

Only during wartime does he have the authority to mobilize and command clan ninja.

Each ninja clan practices internal autonomy!

That Hyuga main branch, though detestable, is not a registered ninja of the Hidden Leaf.

Even during wartime, the Hyuga main branch does not participate in battle.

Even if Uchiha Shisui's heart burned with anger, he could not intervene in Hyuga family affairs.

Otherwise, it would amount to a declaration of war!

In this situation, he could only turn to Nara Kazama for help.

Just as he had said before, the Nara clan possesses the sharpest minds; perhaps they could devise a good solution.

However, regarding this.

Nara Kazama wore an expression of helplessness, shrugged his shoulders, and spoke.

"Captain, Itachi overestimate me," Nara Kazama said helplessly. "This is a Hyuga family matter; we cannot intervene."

"Moreover, due to the Caged Bird Seal, Ayane essentially has no choice but to comply."

"The only thing I can think of is to secure a long-term mission stationed outside the Land of Fire before the war ends."

"And this mission must be one that only we can undertake."

"Only under such circumstances would the Hyuga be forced to bow to the Hokage."

"Achieving this will be difficult!"

"And even if we truly succeed, it would merely be a temporary delay."

"All missions must eventually end; no one can change that."

"This problem has no solution!"

Everyone fell silent.

Even though Nara Kazama had found no solution, no one blamed him.

After all, everyone understood the complexity of this matter deep in their hearts.

Hyuga Ayane smiled.

"There is no need for everyone to be like this; this is the fate of the Hyuga branch family."

"I accepted this long ago. I am simply glad to have known everyone."

"That is enough."

Her face was filled with gentleness; though her lips were tinged with bitterness, she still spoke to comfort everyone.

Clearly.

Just as she had said, she had long accepted her fate.

Uchiha Jin could only remain silent.

His eyes flickered uncertainly, yet he did not speak.

This matter was very complex.

The key point was that even if successful, it would bring him little benefit.

And to speak bluntly, though Hyuga Ayane's fate may be wretched, at least she can still preserve her life.

But what about me?

The dark clouds of the Uchiha clan's extermination still loomed over his head.

In fact, let alone myself.

Even Uchiha Shisui, Kazama...

Everyone is essentially in the same boat; the big brother does not mock the second brother.

And just at this moment.

Uchiha Shisui suddenly looked at Uchiha Jin and spoke in a very serious tone.

"Jin, I want to help Ayane."

"I know Itachi must have a way; we are comrades who have faced life and death together."

"Help Ayame!"

Uchiha Shisui now wore a grave expression.

Indeed.

Though his time with this clan brother might have been short, he knew him well enough.

Do not be fooled by his lazy demeanor and ordinary appearance.

In truth, it was all a disguise.

Regarding Ayame's plight, he was truly furious and stifled.

The kind-hearted him truly wanted to help.

As Uchiha Shisui spoke, Kazama and Ayame both turned to look at Uchiha Jin.

As for Uchiha Shisui, no need to mention him.

He knew a bit about Uchiha Jin, so he looked thoughtful, wondering if this partner of his could devise a better plan than his own.

As for Ayame.

She looked slightly surprised and stunned as she gazed at Uchiha Jin.

Indeed.

She did not quite understand.

She had interacted with Uchiha Jin for three days, but honestly, she felt nothing.

Ordinary, with no distinguishing features.

So she was confused: how could a genius of Uchiha Shisui's caliber seek help from such an ordinary Jin?

Uchiha Jin: "..."

He looked utterly bewildered.

Especially when he saw everyone's gaze now fixed solely on him, the corners of his mouth twitched violently.

Good heavens!

What does this have to do with me?

Still, he truly did not expect Uchiha Shisui to be so kind-hearted.

With that thought, he fell into deep contemplation.

He had never intended to get involved, but with the atmosphere reaching this point, even if Ayame's face was not enough, he could not refuse Uchiha Shisui's request.

With that thought, he spoke softly.

"This matter is difficult if Itachi see it as difficult, but actually quite simple."

"Itachi cannot find a solution because your thinking remains within the rules of the game."

"In fact, if Itachi step outside the rules, the solutions are endless."

"Let me list a few at random."

"First, frame someone."

"Even if the Hyuga Main Family will not fight, they cannot stay within the Hyuga compound forever, can they?"

"Once he leaves the compound, find a way to provoke a conflict with others, then accidentally kill a few Hidden Leaf civilians. Afterward, we stir up the incident, forcing all the civilians to protest to the Hokage."

"Even if he is from the Hyuga Main Family, unless he is a truly important member, the Hyuga clan will not dare to protect him."

"As for how to provoke the conflict, the methods are endless. The simplest is to use the Sharingan to control him, or knock him out, hide him, and use the Transformation Technique to impersonate him."

"If that feels unsafe, then be more direct."

"Disguise yourself as a Hidden Cloud ninja, rush into the Hyuga compound, kill him, seize his Byakugan, and retreat immediately."

"With Ayame, a member of the Hyuga Branch Family, even if the compound's defenses are strict, finding a loophole is not difficult."

"If that still feels unsafe, then do not alert anyone. Use the Sharingan to implant a psychological suggestion in this Main Family member, making him feel that staying in the compound forever is too stifling, as if the Hyuga compound is a cage."

"Make him desire to leave the Hidden Leaf Village and explore."

"Once he leaves, kidnap him, demand a ransom, and then sell his corpse on the black market."

"Whether disguised as a Hidden Cloud ninja, a rogue ninja, or a bounty hunter, it does not matter."

"In short, there are many ways."

"As long as Itachi do not limit yourself to the identity of a Hidden Leaf ninja, and prepare your minds to break the rules, remember we are all Hidden Leaf ninja, and one of us is even a Hyuga ninja."

"Is it really that hard to find a loophole?"

"The Hyuga defenses are indeed strict; other ninja villages would indeed find it very difficult to truly seize a Byakugan."

"But do not forget."

"We are traitors from within. If the plan is well laid out, there may be difficulties, but the probability of success is high."

"And once that Hyuga Main Family member is dead, Ayame's problem will naturally vanish."

"..."
