Chapter 61: Playing It Safe Again, Awakening the Dual-Colored Haki

Konoha, the Uchiha Clan Compound.

Before Uchiwa Jin returned, the clan had already arranged for the slightly dilapidated small courtyard to be renovated.

This was quite normal.

Ever since Uchiha Mirror died, the entire Uchiha clan had finally awakened such a precious treasure.

No matter how cautiously they treated him, it was hardly ever enough.

After all, the Mangekyo Sharingan was the pride of the Uchiha, and their ultimate power.

They also feared that if they truly made Uchiha Jin lose heart, he might turn around and join the Hokage's faction, which would be disastrous.

So even though Uchiha Jin had not joined their faction, even the most radical faction, who disliked him the most, would not make things difficult for him on this matter.

Yes!

Do not be fooled by their name, the Radical Faction.

In reality, they were just a bunch of cowards.

Even if they shouted the loudest, it was all just empty talk.

Did they not clearly understand that they had long become enemies of Uchiha Jin?

Back when Uchiha Jin was weak, they had cut off his pension, his relief funds, and all clan resources for his cultivation...

Essentially.

They had long been enemies; the probability of winning him over was very low, almost impossible.

But, so what?

They still dared not cause trouble, nor dare to tear up their relationship with Uchiha Jin!

Especially regarding Fugaku's proposal.

Whether it was a share of the clan's business profits, the position of Chief of the Police Force, becoming an elder, or being promoted to the main branch...

So the proposal passed unanimously!

The Mangekyo Sharingan was simply that domineering.

"Hmm, not bad."

"This life is truly leisurely."

"This is the life a person should live; fighting and killing is simply too boring."

"Truly comfortable, awesome!"

"..."

Inside the renovated courtyard, Uchiha Jin lay on a large armchair, looking utterly relaxed.

Basking in the sun, a smile on his face.

Naturally, he was quite satisfied with his current life.

Especially toward Fugaku, he even gave a thumbs up.

Thanks, old buddy, double tap 666!

Especially hearing the notification sound from the System, the smile on his face was even more content.

Yes.

He was indeed happy.

Everything he had guessed before had now become reality.

First, the members of his team had all been dispatched to the battlefield in the Land of Grass, while he alone was left in Konoha.

In the Hokage's words, Uchiha Jin was still young, had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and had even fallen into a coma a few days ago because of it.

Now was the time for recovery; how could he be sent to the front lines?

As the Hokage, he made the final decision.

A special exemption was granted to Uchiha Jin; he was not required to continue going to the battlefield.

Of course, that statement is inaccurate.

To put it more accurately, the entire Uchiha clan no longer needs to continue fighting on the front lines.

Uchiha Uchiha Shisui is the only exception.

On one hand, it offers comfort to the Uchiha.

I am not neglecting the Uchiha; I am truly doing what is best for them.

And on the other hand,

he demonstrated his magnanimity to the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Look...

The Uchiha have such a terrible reputation and even wanted to overthrow him as Hokage.

And then?

He, the Hokage, still treats the Uchiha well, doesn't he?

So, everyone see.

Am I not a good Hokage?

If Itachi don't support me, who else will Itachi support?

One can imagine.

Under these circumstances, if the Uchiha were to disobey and even dare to seize the position of Hokage, who in the entire Hidden Leaf Village would support them afterward?

But in reality?

Uchiha Jin saw through everything long ago.

To put it plainly, Hiruzen Sarutobi is just afraid.

In just one battle with a low frequency on the Hidden Mist front, although many Uchiha clansmen died, the clan gained thirty-nine single-tomoe Sharingan users, twelve double-tomoe users, and two triple-tomoe users.

Especially Uchiha Jin.

He even awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan!

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi almost cried himself into a faint in the toilet.

If he had known this, he would never have agreed to let Uchiha Jin go to the battlefield.

Wouldn't it be better to stay safely in the Hidden Leaf and raise a useless person?

Even at this very moment,

Hiruzen Sarutobi secretly resolved to strictly limit the frequency of Uchiha deployments to the battlefield in the future.

Even if they are useless, it is not allowed!

Under these circumstances, how could he let the Uchiha go to the battlefield in the Land of Grass?

But it doesn't matter!

Although Uchiha Jin saw through everything within the Uchiha clan and even among the Hidden Leaf's high command, he had no intention of interfering.

Simply put, it has nothing to do with him.

Isn't it better to just lie low and grow stronger?

The only thing giving him a headache now is the matter of Hyuga Ayi.

These past few nights, he has tried several times.

But there is no way!

Just as Hyuga Ayi said, the Hyuga clan's defenses are absolutely ridiculous!

Even with the intelligence provided by Hyuga Ayi and even with his Mangekyo Sharingan activated, he still could not find any way in.

"Wait..."

"I remember the system said before that every time I level up, I get a corresponding reward!"

"I've already awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan; doesn't that count as leveling up?"

"System, where is my reward?"

"Did Itachi eat it all?"

Thinking of this, Uchiha Jin became furious.

Immediately,

without wasting a single word, he contacted the system in his mind again.

After a long while,

the system finally issued a notification sound.

[Ding, Host is so annoying.]

[Detected Sharingan upgraded to Mangekyo Sharingan. Reward: Observation Haki!]

[Ding, Reminder.]

[This system is currently lying flat and rotting. Do not contact me unless it is important.]

[Lying flat allows for leveling up; why does the host need to help so much?]

[It does not match this system's noble temperament at all. Look down on Itachi *jpg!]

Uchiha Jin: "..."

His mouth twitched.

At this moment, he even wanted to curse his mother.

Lying flat and rotting? Doesn't he want that?

He wants it so much he's going crazy!

But is it possible?

Transmigrating into this broken world of the Hidden Leaf, do Itachi think Itachi can just slack off whenever Itachi want?

Why didn't Itachi send me to the One Piece world?

In that case, I could slack off until the end of time!

Yes.

Although both are high-martial arts worlds, the One Piece world's map is huge.

As long as Itachi don't want to cause trouble, Itachi can hide in any corner for a lifetime, and no one might even discover Itachi.

But, never mind.

Why get angry with this damn system?

Besides, Observation Haki!

This is a great thing, equivalent to a top-tier divination secret art.

Even when cultivated to a high level, it can condense a mental net.

It can even predict an enemy's future actions, possessing the power of a time-related supreme skill.

The greatest Observation Haki.

It can even sense an enemy's thoughts and emotions, and alter their values and mindset.

This, damn it.

Isn't this just a weakened version of Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan ability, Kotoamatsukami?

"Holy crap, awesome!"

"By the way, wait, System Lord, my Fire Release has also reached Master level."

"Look..."

Uchiha Jin spoke again.

Knowing this system's nature, and desiring even stronger skills, he decided to be slightly flattering.

[Ding, fine.]

[Armament Haki, go play with it.]

[Don't bother me too much!]
