Chapter 55: Mentioning Might Guy, Nara Kazuma Gets an Idea

Uchiha Shisui, his face beaming with joy.

Heaven has mercy.

His mood these past two days had truly been bitterly painful.

Naturally bad at lying, he had spent the last few days being questioned repeatedly by the various Uchiha clan members, forcing him to lie tirelessly.

Fortunately, the Uchiha clan members tended to have rather simple minds.

Had anyone else seen him, they would have noticed immediately that Uchiha Shisui's expression and tone were slightly off.

So.

Seeing Uchiha Jin wake up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jin, Itachi should thank Uchiha Shisui," Nara Kazuma said with a smile. "Itachi have no idea how unbearable Uchiha Shisui has been these past two days."

"He is naturally bad at lying, yet he has had to keep deceiving your clan members."

"I was getting worried for him!"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Even Uchiha Shisui wore an expression of helplessness.

When it came to lying, he truly was not skilled.

Hearing this, Uchiha Jin also smiled and spoke: "Uchiha Shisui, this won't do. Itachi will need to tell even more lies in the future; consider this early training."

"This, I..." Uchiha Shisui wanted to object, but after a moment of thought, he let out a sigh: "Alright, I will try my best!"

"But this truly is not my strong suit. To be honest, I am afraid I might jeopardize the greater plan."

Uchiha Jin shook his head with a smile.

Regarding Uchiha Shisui's worry, he felt no concern himself.

"Uchiha Shisui, rest assured."

"Precisely because Itachi cannot lie, Itachi are more likely to succeed."

"This is human nature."

"Conversely, those who are full of lies on a daily basis might be the first ones others refuse to believe."

"On the contrary."

"Someone honest like Itachi, Uchiha Shisui, as long as Itachi act normally, I believe no one will see through it."

"If Itachi do not understand, I can give Itachi an analogy."

"We have a ninja in Konoha named Might Guy. Would Itachi believe he would lie to Itachi?"

Following Uchiha Jin's words, everyone present fell into thought.

Might Guy!

Within the entire Hidden Leaf Village, he was a very unique ninja.

Because he could not release chakra early on, he specialized exclusively in taijutsu.

But, unfortunately.

After all these years, he remained a Genin.

Yet precisely because of this, Might Guy was a celebrity in Konoha; basically, no one did not know him.

Just imagine his face; if he were to lie...

Good heavens!

Even Uchiha Shisui had to admit he did not believe Might Guy would tell a lie.

"Alright, I understand," Uchiha Shisui said with a smile. "I never expected Itachi would use him as an example."

Nara Kazuma also chuckled: "If Jin hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered we even had such a ninja in Konoha."

"Might Guy's spirit is indeed admirable, but he is not quite suited for the profession of a ninja," Hyuga Ayane added.

However, regarding this.

The look in Uchiha Jin's eyes as he gazed at everyone was truly hard to describe.

Simply put, it was full of mockery.

"Jin, what is it?" Nara Kazuma could not help but ask. "Did we say something wrong?"

His eyes were the sharpest.

Although Uchiha Jin's mockery lasted only a split second, he saw it directly.

Especially given their relationship, he naturally had no patience to overthink it and asked directly.

Hearing this, Uchiha Shisui and Ayane also turned to look at Uchiha Jin.

Uchiha Jin fell silent!

He began to consider whether this was something appropriate to say.

But then, thinking about it.

Through dealing with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, everyone had clearly already stood on the same boat.

They had formed a certain bond with one another.

Furthermore, because each of them had a host of disgusting matters behind them.

So now, they had truly become friends.

With this thought, he spoke directly.

"Actually, it is nothing much."

"I just saw that Itachi all seemed to look down on Might Guy, so I was a bit disdainful of Itachi."

"Do not be deceived; Might Guy is a strong man!"

"If Might Guy were to unleash his full power, to be honest, even I, in my current state, would likely only barely survive and end up severely injured."

"Of course, he will surely die!"

"But compared to Itachi, if Itachi truly faced Might Dai, none of Itachi could withstand a single kick from him!"

Hiss!

As Uchiha Jin spoke, everyone drew in a sharp breath of cold air.

Even instinctively, everyone thought Jin was joking.

However.

Seeing Jin's serious expression, everyone could not help but look utterly bewildered.

"Jin, Itachi're not joking?" Nara spoke up first.

Hyuga Ayi looked even more incredulous: "If Might Dai were truly that strong, how could he possibly be only a Genin?"

Uchiha Shisui did not speak, but looked seriously at Uchiha Jin.

Yes.

He, a Uchiha prodigy, had suddenly heard such a name, and yet knew he could not possibly be his match.

He, of course, was interested.

Especially in Might Dai.

Thinking of the figure in his mind, who wore a green skin-tight suit every day and shouted about youth...

Uh.

He shivered.

Uchiha Jin, however, smiled and spoke.

"Of course I am not joking; it is just that your standards are too high, and Itachi instinctively look down on a ninja like Might Dai."

"Might Dai's taijutsu is enough to make even me feel chilled to the bone."

"Have Itachi heard of the Eight Gates Released Formation?"

"This is something Might Dai attempted to cultivate himself based on some ancient texts!"

"Once the final gate, the Gate of Death, is opened, the power unleashed is such that even I could not withstand it."

"Of course, even if only the sixth gate, the Gate of View, is opened, Might Dai can rival an elite Jonin."

"It is just that Dai is simple-minded and never thought to use this to demand better treatment from the Hokage."
