Chapter 51

Everyone was unwilling to believe it.

It was Fugaku who finally took a deep breath and spoke, his face filled with disbelief.

"Uchiha Shisui, what did Itachi say?"

"Itachi're saying Uchiha Jin awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, then used Susanoo to kill the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?"

"Are Itachi sure Itachi're not joking?"

"..."

Uchiha Fugaku could not hide the excitement in his heart.

Even though he was willing to believe Uchiha Shisui, this matter was indeed of great importance to the Uchiha clan.

Therefore, he had to be cautious.

After all, the Mangekyo Sharingan was the ultimate secret of the Uchiha.

In fact, let alone him.

Even the other Uchiha who had come along wore expressions of indescribable complexity on their faces.

Surprise, shock, disbelief, mixed with threads of excitement and expectation.

Itachi see.

Ever since Uchiha Madara left Konoha and Uchiha Kagami died a mysterious and tragic death, the Uchiha clan had never awakened the Mangekyo again.

Now, with a pair of Sharingan eyes 'suspected' to have awakened, how could they not be excited?

"Of course, I am very certain." Uchiha Shisui nodded, speaking with great seriousness: "The importance of the Mangekyo to the Uchiha is such that how would I dare to lie about something like this?"

"Furthermore, if Jin had not awakened the Mangekyo, how could our four-man squad have possibly slain the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"

"Although the immense power of the Susanoo left almost no intact corpses, the seven ninja swords of the Mist cannot be faked, can they?"

Seeing this, Nara Kazama spoke up directly: "I can also attest to this."

"I am also willing to bear witness," Hyuga Ayane nodded. "That massive skeletal energy giant still feels utterly shocking to think about now."

Unlike the Nara clan.

The Hyuga clan, a noble house like the Uchiha, naturally had records concerning the Susanoo.

At the same time.

Uchiha Shisui did not hesitate; he immediately handed the scroll sealing the seven ninja swords directly to Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Fugaku did not refuse.

He immediately unsealed it, saw the seven ninja swords, and then returned the scroll to Uchiha Shisui.

Yes.

During wartime, any spoils of war belong to the individual.

Since the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were killed by Uchiha Jin, these seven ninja swords belong to Uchiha Jin.

He only needed to take a look to record it.

Besides.

Uchiha Jin was a member of his own clan.

As the clan head, could he possibly withhold the spoils of his own clansman?

The Uchiha clan truly did not look down on such things.

"Uchiha Shisui did not lie."

"These are indeed the seven ninja swords of the Mist, which proves that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are dead."

Hiss!

With Uchiha Fugaku's words, even though no one had yet seen the Mangekyo with their own eyes.

The Uchiha present still erupted into celebration.

"It really is the Mangekyo!"

"We Uchiha are the strongest!"

"Glory to the Uchiha!"

"..."

The many Uchiha fell into a frenzy of celebration.

The other Konoha Jonin, however, could not help but furrow their brows, their eyes filled with indescribable complexity.

Yes.

Even though the Nine-Tails' attack had not yet occurred, the Uchiha's reputation in Konoha was already quite foul.

Ever since Uchiha Madara left Konoha and the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, took power, the Uchiha's position in Konoha had been extremely awkward.

Now.

With the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, taking power and the Konoha Four completely occupying the upper echelons of Konoha, the suppression of the Uchiha had been relentless from start to finish.

Especially Danzo!

His loathing and suppression of the Uchiha had reached a pathological degree.

Fortunately, the Uchiha were strong!

Although the Uchiha had some mental issues, and the Konoha leadership had tried every method possible during several wars to weaken the Uchiha clansmen.

But, unfortunately.

The Uchiha Sharingan simply did not play by the rules.

Although many had indeed died, even more powerful ones had emerged.

Who would have thought.

At such a time, the Mangekyo would awaken again.

It was no wonder these Konoha Jonin's eyes had become so complex.

After all, no one was stupid.

Regardless of whether they belonged to the Hokage's faction, as Jonin, they naturally had the qualification to join the Jonin Council.

No matter what policy the Hokage implemented, or even the Hokage election itself, they all had voting rights!

They all understood the dirty dealings of Konoha's upper levels.

So they understood even more clearly that with the appearance of the Sharingan in the Uchiha, it would definitely be a major blow to the Hokage's faction.

Then, one can imagine.

The Hidden Leaf will have quite a spectacle ahead.

Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't matter.

The key is.

This is wartime!

If internal strife erupts in the Hidden Leaf during this critical time...

Upon thinking this,

they exchanged glances and all let out a helpless sigh.

After confirming the truth of the matter, everyone naturally returned directly.

The unconscious Uchiha Jin was sent straight to the central tent of the Uchiha clan.

Those living around were all Uchiha.

Especially outside his tent, three elite Uchiha squads provided round-the-clock, all-angle protection.

Clearly...

The Mangekyo Sharingan is far too important to the Uchiha.

And the current Uchiha Jin, being in a coma, possesses absolutely no defensive capability.

To prevent any accidents, Fugaku directly employed the highest level of defense measures.

One could say.

Even if every Uchiha on the front lines were to die, Uchiha Jin must not.

This is the terrifying power of a great clan!

And, on the other side.

Inside Shikaku Nara's tent.

Immediately after hearing Shikaku Fuma's account, Shikaku Nara's expression changed instantly, and he even lost his composure in a rare display.

He sprang up from his seat, looking at Shikaku Fuma in disbelief.

"What did Itachi say?"

"Uchiha Jin awakened the Mangekyo?"

"How is that possible?"

"What kind of joke is this? How could he awaken the Mangekyo?"

"..."

Yes.

At that moment, Shikaku Nara's face was full of disbelief.

However.

As a traditional Nara, he took a deep breath and quickly regained his composure.

His brows furrowed tightly.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Shikaku Fuma again.

"Fuma, explain the details."

"What exactly happened with Uchiha Jin?"

"How did he awaken the Mangekyo?"

As a high-ranking official of the Hidden Leaf Village and captain of the Jonin squad, he naturally belonged to the Hokage faction.

In fact, it was not just him.

The entire Ino-Shika-Cho alliance stood with the Hokage faction.

Even though Shikaku Nara could see that Hiruzen Sarutobi was not a particularly good Hokage.

But what of it?

As long as the Hidden Leaf Village remained stable and the Ino-Shika-Cho alliance gained benefits, nothing else mattered.

As part of the Hokage faction, he could not care less about the Uchiha.

After all, no matter who became Hokage, the Ino-Shika-Cho alliance would always stand with the Hokage.

But until the Uchiha became Hokage, he had to remain utterly loyal and plan for Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Now that the Uchiha had awakened the Mangekyo, he needed to fully understand this critical matter.

Meanwhile.

Shikaku Fuma sat opposite, looking at his shocked clan elder, and could not help but show a bitter smile.

After a moment of silence, he spoke helplessly.

"How should I put this?"

"At that time, our squad was cornered, and then Uchiha Jin suddenly erupted, awakening the Mangekyo directly from the Two-Tomoe Sharingan."

"The Uchiha are too unreasonable!"

"..."
