as long as the target is caught, their soul is instantly seized by the Death God.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Minato Namikaze used this technique to split the Nine-Tails into yin and yang halves, then sealed the Nine-Tails entirely within himself and his son, Naruto Uzumaki.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we push the Hidden Leaf high command to the brink, they could simply unseal this forbidden technique and have every Jonin learn it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if this technique is incredibly hard to master, the Hidden Leaf has countless Jonin—if just twenty of them learn it, do Itachi think our clan could withstand it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even with my Mangekyo Sharingan, I wouldn’t dare risk it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shana’s face turned instantly pale with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Leaf still has something like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could fully process this, Uchiha Jin continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And then there’s the Nine-Tails!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the Hidden Leaf high command is truly cornered, what if they unleash the Nine-Tails at all costs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiraiya will surely stand with the Hidden Leaf; Tsunade won’t shed blood, but if the Uchiha rebel…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For the village built by her two grandfathers, she might overcome her trauma!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who would stop these two Kage-level threats?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Anbu and the Root are loyal to the Hokage; though the Uchiha can fight three to one, facing so many enemies—even if we hold out, how many will die?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tobirama has gathered many three-tomoe Sharingan eyes, and that bastard himself knows Izanagi—how many lives would it take to wear him down?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hiruzen Sarutobi may be the weakest Hokage, but he’s still beyond what our ordinary clan members can handle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I personally investigated the Sarutobi clan—they’ve been embezzling the Hidden Leaf’s finances for years, so they rarely take part in combat missions; now, the Sarutobi clan has at least fifteen hundred ninja, with no fewer than three hundred Jonin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though these Jonin are weak, far inferior to the Uchiha, their sheer numbers can still crush us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is even assuming other clans don’t join the fight—but do Itachi think, given the Uchiha’s infamous reputation, any other clan or civilian would let us take power?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if they do join?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Uchiha Jin spoke, Uchiha Shana broke into a cold sweat, utterly speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized his previous thoughts had been shallow—the Hidden Leaf’s depth was truly terrifying; even the half-crippled Uchiha had no right to rebel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Uchiha Jin’s Mangekyo Sharingan, the Hidden Leaf high command could simply outlast him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling their earlier rebellion plan, he sighed helplessly: “Jin-kun, Itachi’re right—we simply don’t have the right to rebel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was convinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything Uchiha Jin had revealed were things he’d never once considered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how strong the Uchiha were, they couldn’t resist these forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it’s impossible,” Uchiha Jin nodded. “The Hidden Leaf’s depth is too great.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even after losing so many strong figures, the Hidden Leaf is now in a weakened phase—but still not something the Uchiha can challenge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And that’s without even accounting for the moderates and centrists within our own clan dragging us down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if we take a hundred steps back and somehow eliminate the Hidden Leaf high command and seize power, how would a shattered Hidden Leaf survive against the other four ninja villages?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Shana, do Itachi think the other four villages would let such a weak, broken Hidden Leaf survive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, be realistic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My current goal is to stabilize the Hidden Leaf high command—and unify the Uchiha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everything else can wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Jin drank a cup of tea, his gaze turning profoundly deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could barely hold the Hidden Leaf high command in check only because he dared to play for keeps, willing to destroy the village’s leadership at the cost of his clan’s annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hidden Leaf high command wants a stable village—they know that even if they could wipe out the Uchiha without loss, they’d still have to face the other ninja villages afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Shana took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Uchiha Jin with deep satisfaction, then smiled faintly: “It seems my luck hasn’t failed me—I’ve found such a worthy heir in my old age. Even if I die now, it’s worth it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The hardliners are in my hands—I’m finally at ease.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Uchiha Jin before him, Shana was genuinely satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, the hardliners were strong, yes—but all they did was shout; now, under Uchiha Jin’s leadership, they’d truly become a sharp blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just that they dared to fight—they had wisdom too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was profoundly grateful: Heaven had eyes, sending the Uchiha such a genius in their darkest hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as for this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Jin smiled, saying nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, Shana spoke: “What about the Uchiha who’ve been missing for years, and the increasingly radical rumors spreading through the village? Are we truly going to do nothing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does it affect your plan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Uchiha Jin’s plan was to make the Uchiha shed blood, shattering illusions in some hearts—but he still couldn’t help asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all—it was too painful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Uchiha had once been a millennium-old noble clan, yet compared to the entire Hidden Leaf high command, they were still pitifully weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with so many dying so often, he truly feared Uchiha Jin might break everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as for this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Jin shook his head: “In my view, it’s still far from enough—the deaths are still too few.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only when the moderates and centrists tremble in fear will our clan’s stubbornness be broken enough to shatter their illusions about the village.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for the village’s rumors—that’s not our concern.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Uchiha clan head is Fugaku!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Desperation doesn’t make a deal—don’t expect me to act unless everyone begs me to.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not that I’m putting on airs; if I act too eagerly, those fools will suspect me, and interfere at every turn—sabotaging me behind the scenes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do Itachi think controlling public opinion is easy? I don’t want to plan for the Uchiha while also dealing with the idiots in the moderate and centrist factions!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Shana sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After careful thought, he realized Uchiha Jin was right—given Fugaku and Shisui’s stupidity, this was certain to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Uchiha Tetsuka entered: “Elder Jin, Elder Shana.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Word from Fugaku—he’s calling an emergency clan meeting. The hardliners must attend.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1145,"2026-06-20T16:36:27.897Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3b5e36cf71e6ad35a94fc20bf5f5566cde80dd4c933408f7056f4dd2218e2b54","uchiha-in-konoha-starting-off-by-standing-up-to--chapter-13","uchiha-in-konoha-starting-off-by-standing-up-to--chapter-11",371,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fuchiha-in-konoha-starting-off-by-standing-up-to--cover.jpg"]
