I fear this visit is hostile!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Ryuan spoke in a low tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to Uchiha Jin’s rise to power, the hardliners were now vastly different from their original timeline: their base was heavily guarded, and spies had been scattered throughout the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the Hokage Tower, the Root, or other major clans, any unusual activity was immediately reported to Uchiha Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why, the moment the Anbu arrived, Uchiha Ryuan had no trouble obtaining intelligence from the Hokage Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Jin merely smiled, dismissing it entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—it’s just a minor matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know roughly what Hiruzen Sarutobi is planning.

The village-system had only been established for a few decades, so while Hiruzen’s tactics seemed clever, to Uchiha Jin—who came from a world where statecraft was ancient and refined—Hiruzen’s every move was as transparent as a naked man farting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen minutes later, the Hokage’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Jin knocked, and upon receiving permission, entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face wore a warm smile; when he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi, he narrowed his eyes slightly, yet spoke with perfect politeness: “Hokage-sama, what do Itachi require of me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were humble indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His posture was brazenly disrespectful—he didn’t even kneel, and his eyes showed not a trace of reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had already torn the mask off last time; had either side possessed the strength to eliminate the other without cost, they would have already torn the village apart in civil war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So as long as appearances were barely maintained, that was enough—don’t expect Uchiha Jin to show any real respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fugaku’s face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the utterly disrespectful Uchiha Jin, he longed to slap him dead—but considering Jin’s terrifying power, he could only sigh helplessly and pretend he saw nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no help for it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a clan leader with no real authority—he truly had no way to challenge Uchiha Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he too had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, his indecisive nature kept him from revealing it, fearing greater suspicion from Konoha’s high command; he had already lost control within his own clan, and had even less chance of confronting Uchiha Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose—to endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had endured so long already; one more instance wouldn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen Sarutobi’s lips twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He too disliked Uchiha Jin, and seeing Fugaku’s fury, his eyes lit up—could this fool finally muster some courage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be a good thing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Jin deserved a good beating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Fugaku couldn’t defeat him, making Uchiha Jin lose face would be satisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen had settled in to watch the show—and how could Fugaku suddenly back down again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, Itachi useless waste!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell can I possibly expect from Itachi?
