Chapter 9: Overwhelming Suppression and Killing, White Zetsu Emerges

"This is... a Three-Tomoe?"

"How is this possible? Isn't Uchiha Jin a waste?"

"Itachi are deliberately hiding your strength, but for what purpose?"

"..."

Seeing the Three-Tomoe in Uchiha Jin's eyes, Uchiha Yoshio and the other two trembled all over, feeling a chill even in their bone marrow.

This is too terrifying!

In the Uchiha clan, the Sharingan represents everything.

And no one would be foolish enough to think Uchiha Jin, who can awaken the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, is truly trash.

But, why?

What they truly couldn't understand was why Uchiha Jin had concealed his power.

In their view, if one had strength, one should display it to the fullest to receive better training, kill more enemies on the battlefield, and thus let everyone know the glory and might of the Uchiha.

But, unfortunately.

Uchiha Jin, whose killing intent had been fully ignited, had no interest in explaining himself to them.

The dead do not need to know so much.

Shut up and go to the Pure Land!

"Navy Six Styles: Shave!"

In almost an instant, he stomped the ground dozens of times in succession.

Accompanied by a sonic boom, Uchiha Jin's figure vanished from the three of them in a flash.

This speed was too fast.

Even their Sharingan could not find a single trace, seeing only a faint afterimage.

The next second.

Dodging the Great Fireball and numerous kunai and shuriken, he appeared behind Uchiha Yoshio in the blink of an eye.

"Navy Six Styles: Finger Gun!"

Boom!

His right index finger extended, chakra gathering at the tip. Moving at a speed comparable to a real bullet, it instantly shattered his bones, blasting a huge hole in his chest.

As for the heart?

Under that single finger, it had long since been crushed into minced meat.

Uchiha Yong: "..."

Uchiha Ryo: "..."

The two felt their scalps go numb, trembling all over with fear, their Sharingan filled with terror.

Yes.

Even after seeing the Three-Tomoe in Uchiha Jin's Sharingan, although fear had gripped their hearts, they hadn't felt too much.

After all, if they couldn't win, couldn't they just escape?

Their older brother, Uchiha Yoshio, was one of the elites within the clan.

In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, he was among the very top of the Chunin.

But now?

Without a shred of ability to counterattack, he was instantly one-shot by Uchiha Jin.

This gap was too huge!

At this moment, the two truly wanted to cry.

If they had known Uchiha Jin was this powerful, would they have been crazy enough to come looking for trouble?

They really couldn't understand!

Damn it, if Itachi're this powerful, why couldn't Itachi have said so earlier?

It's simply insane!

However.

Although they kept cursing in their hearts, they quickly began to beg for mercy on their faces.

"Uchiha Jin, spare us."

"We were completely forced into this; it's all Uchiha Yoshio's fault!"

"We are just low-level minions; don't hold it against us!"

"Itachi can trust us; we know nothing about today."

"I swear by the Sage of Six Paths that I will never reveal this!"

"..."

They were not fools.

They knew that against Uchiha Jin's speed, escape was impossible.

To survive, they could only beg for mercy.

But it was useless!

The next second.

Uchiha Jin vanished again; in just ten seconds, the two had been reduced to corpses.

Like Uchiha Yoshio, their chests were hollowed out, their hearts completely torn apart.

Uchiha Jin stood in place.

Gazing at the three corpses before him, his expression was calm and cold.

As if he had merely crushed three ants, there was not a trace of fear in his eyes.

"Hmph, begging for mercy?"

"If begging for mercy worked, why bother cultivating ninjutsu?"

"It's about time I left."

Mumbling to himself, Uchiha Jin vanished instantly.

Outside the Forest of Death, silence returned.

Time passed slowly.

About two hours later, a white figure emerged from the ground like a sprout.

He glanced at the three corpses before him and couldn't help but mutter.

"How pitiful, a huge hole in the chest."

"Such formidable taijutsu strength. Was that brat really an Uchiha?"

"Another promising talent has emerged among Lord Madara's kin!"

"Truly unexpected; an unexpected gain."

"I must return immediately and report this to Lord Madara."

Having spoken.

He prepared to leave at once.

But, just then.

A figure moving at the limit of speed materialized right beside him.

"Navy Six Styles: Rankyaku - White Thunder!"

A figure moving so fast its afterimage was indistinguishable, carrying terrifying momentum, executed a 180-degree backflip in midair, slashing out a pale blue beam of light.

The white creature looked utterly bewildered.

But before he could react, his body was brutally torn in half.

The next second.

Uchiha Jin, who had long since departed, reappeared at the spot.

He crossed his arms, his expression extremely calm.

After casting a glance at the white creature before him, he sighed in a low, somber tone.

"Damn it, I knew it."

"Lord Madara isn't dead yet; how could the entire Hidden Leaf Village, especially the Uchiha clan, not have a White Zetsu monitoring them?"

"Fortunately, I am cautious enough, having deeply comprehended the Great Dao of Survival."

"Otherwise, I might truly have been targeted by that old undead Madara."

Uchiha Jin sighed.

Immediately.

Glancing at the White Zetsu at his feet, he couldn't help but call out inwardly.

"System, come out."

"Don't think Itachi can fool me; a storage space is standard equipment; don't think I don't know."

"Hurry up, give it to me!"

Uchiha Jin was somewhat cowardly.

In truth, he didn't know whether his broken system actually possessed a storage space.

To put it plainly, it was one word.

Bluff!

[Ding, Host is truly trembling.]

[Storage space issued; stop bothering me.]

[Leaving!]

Hearing the system speak, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He guessed correctly!

Without further ado, he immediately sealed the White Zetsu into the storage space, then departed from the area once more.

The edge of the Forest of Death returned to silence.

Time passed slowly.

After another full two hours, Uchiha Jin's figure finally reappeared.

"Mm, not bad."

"This time, it seems there really are no fellow practitioners of the Hidden Path."

"Time to attend to proper business."

Then.

He moved at his fastest speed to his own backyard and began digging downward.

About ten minutes later.

He dug up...

Ahem, a corpse!

More accurately, a corpse wrapped in ice, wearing the Hidden Cloud Village forehead protector.

Gazing at the corpse before him, Uchiha Jin fell into deep thought.

This was from two years ago.

At that time, he was merely a third-year student. While preparing to sleep at home one night, a ninja from the Hidden Cloud suddenly appeared at his residence.

Only after Uchiha Jin captured him did he extract intelligence from the man's mouth.

This Hidden Cloud squad had come solely to capture Kekkei Genkai.

Both the Uchiha and the Hyuga clan were their targets.

It was just that this fellow was somewhat unlucky, happening to run into Uchiha Jin, a practitioner of the Hidden Path who feigned weakness to strike.

After killing this Hidden Cloud ninja, he made no public announcement, vaguely sensing that this corpse would surely prove useful in the future.

Thus, he decided at the time to freeze the body with ice.

And now, it has finally come in handy, hasn't it?
