Chapter 79: Arrogant and Domineering, Lawless and Unrestrained!

Hiss!

In the entire hall, everyone sucked in a sharp breath.

No one expected that Uchiha Jin, who always smiled lazily and seemed easy to talk to, would dare to act in the South Hatake Shrine.

Simply unbelievable.

Everyone's scalp went numb, and for a moment, no one knew what to say.

Especially Uchiha Tetsuka.

As someone qualified to attend the clan meeting and responsible for clan patrols, he actually knew the Uchiha temperament best.

Extremely lazy, just a flat-lying salted fish.

Not at all like an Uchiha, but more like a Nara.

But, he was wrong!

Looking at the domineering Uchiha Jin now, he couldn't help but doubt: was this really the Uchiha Jin he knew?

In fact, let alone him.

Even Fugaku, who knew Uchiha Jin best among those present, stared at him in shock.

Arrogant and overbearing, utterly disdainful.

The Uchiha Jin before them was completely different from his usual self.

At this moment, he resembled Uchiha Madara more than anyone else.

He disregarded all rules and dogma, daring to strike at clan members even within the sacred Naka Shrine.

For a moment.

Even he, the clan head, didn't know what to say.

In reality.

Let alone those who held no grudge against Uchiha Jin, even the radicals dared not utter a single word against such an arrogant and overbearing Uchiha Jin.

They were afraid!

They truly feared Uchiha Jin might fly into a rage and punch them directly.

He was too strong.

They knew for certain they couldn't withstand him.

Meanwhile.

Uchiha Setsuna stumbled to his feet, unable to hold back a mouthful of blood.

Clearly.

He had suffered internal injuries.

At this moment, the killing intent in his eyes when he looked at Uchiha Jin had reached its peak.

He was truly enraged.

How many years had it been since anyone dared treat him this way?

How did Uchiha Jin dare?

He stumbled back into the hall, glaring at him with fury, then spoke in a chilling tone.

"Uchiha Jin, Itachi are too presumptuous."

"This is our Uchiha clan grounds. How dare Itachi act violently here?"

"Do Itachi still have any regard for the Uchiha?"

Yes.

He was attempting moral coercion.

Because deep down, he knew that he, who rarely fought, was no match for Uchiha Jin.

But he was not afraid.

This was the Uchiha clan grounds. Would Uchiha Jin really dare to provoke the entire clan and fight?

However, he was wrong.

Facing his threat, a cold smile appeared on Uchiha Jin's lips.

"I am not afraid!"

"What if I have no regard for the Uchiha?"

"Elder Setsuna, are Itachi satisfied?"

"After all, I am alone; my family is my only concern. Itachi must know my only bond, my parents!"

"They were killed by someone. Do Itachi know that person, Elder Setsuna?"

"At worst, it's just treason."

"I don't think the current Uchiha are qualified to stop me!"

"Well, Elder Setsuna."

"Why not try to provoke me? I am quite interested."

Uchiha Jin spoke in a low, eerie tone.

Yes.

At this moment, he was utterly lawless.

Because he truly had the qualification to be so.

As the only Mangekyo Sharingan user in the Uchiha now, and with Uchiha Fugaku unwilling to reveal himself.

As long as he didn't truly bring the heavens down, the entire Uchiha would forgive him.

The reason was simple.

He was now the Uchiha's banner!

Uchiha Setsuna understood this point as well. So, looking at the killing intent in Uchiha Jin's eyes, fear appeared in his gaze for the first time.

He saw it.

This Uchiha Jin before him was truly mad; if he provoked him further, this bastard would really dare to attack him.

What should he do?

His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his mind went completely blank.

Meanwhile.

Seeing this scene, Fugaku helplessly shook his head.

He knew it was time for him to speak.

With this thought, he spoke calmly.

"Ahem, that's enough."

"Since Elder Shaka is unwell, there is no need for him to attend this clan meeting."

"Help him down and let him rest properly."

"And, Uchiha Jin."

"Do not waste time; take your seat immediately."

Uchiha Fugaku took no action against anyone.

As if struck by temporary blindness, he acted as though he had not seen Uchiha Jin's attack at all.

Indeed.

He had long been displeased with Uchiha Shaka.

It was only because, as clan head, he could not strike out as Jin had done.

Now, seeing Jin beat Shaka, his heart was already blooming with joy.

Deal with it?

What a joke!

In fact, not only Fugaku.

Every Uchiha present was essentially suffering from temporary blindness.

Even the members of the radical faction showed no intention of seeking retribution for Shaka.

The Uchiha were that simple.

As long as Itachi are strong enough, Itachi earn respect.

Uchiha Jin felt no surprise at this.

He had foreseen this scene; the only reason he had not acted this way before was sheer laziness.

Now that his strength was exposed, the concerns he once held no longer mattered.

It was merely due to the System and his own temperament.

Before others provoked him, he preferred to stay home and grow stronger in silence.

He remained perfectly calm.

In full view of everyone, he sat directly in the first seat below Fugaku.

As for Uchiha Shaka, he was supported by two radical Jonin and led away from the Naka Shrine.

He made no attempt to refuse.

He knew that staying would only bring further shame.

"Very well, let us begin."

“The village’s suppression of the Uchiha grows ever stronger; now they have even stopped deploying the Uchiha on the battlefield.”

“Everyone, speak up. What should we do?”

Fugaku spoke sternly.

This was also the matter troubling him most now, and he could not yet make up his mind.

So now he wished to hear the clan’s true stance on the matter.

“I believe it is time to launch a counterattack.”

“Since our clan now possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan, it is time to remove Hiruzen Sarutobi from power.”

“I think we should consider this further!”

“Consider nothing! Kill Hiruzen Sarutobi; the Hokage seat belongs to the Uchiha.”

“……”

As Fugaku spoke, everyone began to voice their opinions.

The vast majority supported the radical faction.

Indeed.

In their view, the Uchiha were so powerful, and now they even possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan.

What was there left to consider?

Just do it!

Hearing this, Fugaku grew even more troubled.

After a moment of deep thought, he could only silence the crowd first, then turned his gaze toward Uchiha Jin.

“Lord Jin, Itachi speak as well.”

“As the clan’s sole Mangekyo Sharingan user and its current strongest member.”

“Share your opinion. What do Itachi think the clan should do?”

“……”
