Chapter 56

"This is his tragedy; unless someone actively discovers him, he will remain stuck at the Genin rank for his entire life."

"But, the same applies."

"This is also where Might Dai excels; precisely because his heart is pure as a child's, he was able to cultivate the complete Eight Inner Gates Formation."

"Once he makes a move, he will surely stun everyone!"

Everyone fell silent.

The Eight Inner Gates Formation; none of them had ever heard of it.

Even Ayame Hyuga, born of the Hyuga clan, had never specifically studied ninja history.

However.

They still felt a genuine respect for Might Dai deep in their hearts.

Especially Nara Kazama.

He had already begun plotting in his mind whether he could recruit Might Dai to his faction.

Yes.

Even though Uchiha Jin said his heart was pure as a child's, he remained merely an ordinary person.

He has a wife and children, doesn't he? He needs to eat, drink, and relieve himself, doesn't he?

Is a mere Genin truly enough?

If I could guarantee these things for him, I could slowly brainwash him with justice and righteousness.

He wouldn't need to pledge loyalty to me; even if he chose to remain neutral at the most critical moment, that would still be a victory.

"Alright, no more idle chat."

"Let's get to the main matter first; news of your awakening has already spread."

"At the latest by tonight, Clan Head Fugaku will come personally."

"Regarding the Mangekyo Sharingan, Jin, can Itachi really bluff your way through it?"

Uchiha Shisui, his face full of worry.

This was what worried him most now; although Uchiha Fugaku was currently fighting on the front lines, responsible for sweeping away the Mist Village's remaining forces in the Land of Whirlpools.

But, the problem was.

It would end by tonight at the latest!

And the news that Uchiha Jin had awakened had already spread.

By tonight at the latest, Fugaku would definitely come to find Uchiha Jin.

He understood this in his heart.

Uchiha Jin had not yet awakened the Mangekyo; if he didn't open it tonight, wouldn't he be exposed immediately?

As Uchiha Shisui spoke, Nara Kazama and Hyuga Ayane also frowned, looking at Uchiha Jin.

"Uchiha Shisui is right!"

"We must find a way to solve this; otherwise, if we are exposed, it will not be good for us."

"If Itachi haven't awakened the Mangekyo yet but possess the power to wipe out the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the village will definitely be even more wary of Itachi."

"..."

The two "six-five-seven" people spoke up one after another.

Their moods were slightly heavy, and the worry on their brows was very intense.

To put it plainly, everyone was too weak.

Uchiha Jin was indeed strong, but only a bit stronger than an elite Jonin, far from reaching the Kage level.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen?

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Legendary Sannin, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio working together, Minato Namikaze...

There were plenty in the Hidden Leaf Village who could wipe them out with one hand.

Add the heads of the various ninja clans and the Anbu, and it went without saying.

Didn't Itachi see that on this Mist Village battlefield, Hiruzen Sarutobi only sent one Uchiha?

Even Nara Shikaku came only because he insisted on it himself.

In fact, to speak bluntly.

Even Danzo, who hid in the basement and rarely fought, had this ability.

Itachi must know.

In the original story, although Danzo rarely fought, as a disciple of the Second Hokage who had implanted Hashirama's cells and Uchiha Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyo, he could fight Orochimaru in the original story, and even before dying, he directly activated the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, almost taking Sasuke out in one blow.

Mere Seven Ninja Swordsmen; even without that arm full of Sharingan, Danzo truly did not take them too seriously.

Allowing the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to run wild now was only because the Hidden Leaf was fighting four nations, and many people were temporarily unable to break free.

The Hidden Leaf Village is known as the strongest ninja village; that was fought for!

Even though it had declined in recent years, and even Hatake Sakumo had been killed.

But mere Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the Hidden Leaf truly did not take them seriously.

If other battlefields weren't holding them back, they would have been beaten to death long ago.

So.

Uchiha Jin's strength was only among the younger generation.

To truly stand firm and clash head-on with the Hidden Leaf, even if he could rally the entire Uchiha clan, it wouldn't be enough.

There was no need for others to act; Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya, master and disciple, alone would be enough.

Once Jiraiya activated Sage Mode, bringing Fukasaku and Shima, the two Great Toad Sages from Mount Myoboku, they would be enough to hold back almost all of the Uchiha high command, including Uchiha Fugaku.

Once Minato activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, he would be enough to harvest everything!

And that was the best-case scenario!

The reality was that the current Uchiha clan was in chaos internally; who would be willing to listen to Uchiha Jin?

Hide, lie low.

Quietly developing strength was what mattered most.

Just as Liu Bowen said: accumulate grain, build high walls, and delay claiming the title of king!

"Everyone, rest assured."

"Itachi arrived at a very convenient time; I have just awakened my Mangekyo."

"Put your minds at ease!"

Uchiha Jin spoke in a low, eerie tone.

As he spoke, he immediately opened his Sharingan.

Immediately after.

A cold, chilling aura swept out; the three tomoe in his Sharingan instantly began to link together, outlining a pattern of an inner Yin-Yang symbol and an outer hexagram.

Profound, distant, desolate, mysterious.

This was the Mangekyo Sharingan!

The ultimate secret unique to the Uchiha, and the source of the Uchiha's pride.

He revealed it directly before the three of them!

Uchiha Shisui: "..."

Kazama: "..."

Ayane: "..."

Looking at Uchiha Jin's Mangekyo Sharingan, while the three were shocked, they also couldn't help but feel somewhat stunned.

Yes.

Unbelievable!

A few days ago, Sasuke Uchiha claimed he could awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan; while everyone accepted his words, deep down, none truly believed him.

After all, that was the Mangekyo Sharingan!

Awakening such a thing was almost entirely a matter of chance.
