Even a blind man can see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if we beg like dogs, even if we keep retreating, what did we gain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They take every inch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our retreat brought no goodwill from the village—only endless escalation. Our ancestral lands were even monitored by the Anbu and the Root…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Uchiha’s brief respite? All thanks to Uchiha Jin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your and Fugaku’s patience may be right, but we see no results. Jin’s actions, however, yield clear results.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Uchiha Amano showed no respect to either of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui fell silent, unable to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to urge everyone to be patient, to trust the village and the Hokage to resolve things—but his words carried far less weight than Jin’s actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he wrestled with this torment, Fugaku stood up directly: “Shisui, it’s pointless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clan Head, I—” Shisui was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fugaku ignored him, turning straight to Uchiha Jin: “Your actions will drive the Uchiha to ruin. I advise Itachi to abandon reclaiming our ancestral lands—such radical moves will make us the target of all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Fugaku’s words, the room fell utterly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Jin shook his head: “Impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No explanation. No hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To men like Fugaku and Shisui, any explanation was meaningless—more words would only waste time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are Itachi trying to drive the Uchiha to annihilation?” Fugaku’s face flushed with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Jin sneered: “Think what Itachi want. But let me tell Itachi this—even if I lead the Uchiha to death, every single Uchiha here would gladly die with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fugaku fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was beyond talking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Jin wouldn’t even bother explaining—he had no idea how to counter this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Jin didn’t trust him at all—perhaps even looked down on him. Jin surely had his own calculations, but simply refused to explain them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around involuntarily and saw that even after Jin declared he’d drag the Uchiha to death, the elders of every faction remained unmoved…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his heart, clarity struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Jin had already won them over. Even if Jin told them to die, they’d obey without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind raced frantically, then he gritted his teeth: “Uchiha Jin, do Itachi think I have no cards left?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Mangekyo?” Uchiha Jin sneered again: “Sorry, I don’t care.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go ahead—team up with Shisui and wipe out my Uchiha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But let me tell Itachi this: though Itachi have two Mangekyo, I, Uchiha Jin, am no clay doll.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Itachi seek to destroy the Uchiha, I won’t lift a finger to save any of them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But equally!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll kill your wife, Mikari, and your son, Itachi—along with the child in Mikari’s womb—first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll make the Sarutobi, Tonoki, Mizumon, and Shimura clans die with the Uchiha. I know one Mangekyo can’t stand against the whole village—but I don’t care about a strong man’s dignity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whenever a strong one comes after me, I’ll flee. Then I’ll slip out and kill the weak of Konoha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fugaku, Shisui—I warn Itachi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Itachi dare side with the village against the Uchiha, I’ll make Konoha die with the Uchiha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once I’ve crippled Konoha, I don’t believe the other ninja villages won’t be tempted—won’t resist launching war!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My bottom line is simple!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Itachi follow the rules—if Itachi can convince Konoha to stop targeting the Uchiha, or persuade the Uchiha to follow Itachi—then I, Uchiha Jin, will play by your rules.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if Itachi want to flip the table and crush the Uchiha by force?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then we all die together—Konoha has no reason to exist!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words rang like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew full well that one Mangekyo alone could never match the village’s countless strong ones—let alone Fugaku and Shisui’s Mangekyo, or the hidden, corrupted Obito.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made it clear: the Uchiha couldn’t contain him. If the table was flipped, he wouldn’t care if the Uchiha lived or died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d become a death god in the shadows—when strong ones chased him, he’d run; when Konoha let its guard down, he’d kill its weaklings, waging guerrilla war as a ninja should.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a single Mangekyo Uchiha who only wanted to escape? No one could corner or hunt him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fugaku, do Itachi have a Mangekyo?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Amano rose, unable to hold back his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others rose too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All stared at Fugaku in shock and confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fugaku looked utterly bewildered: “Uchiha Jin, how do Itachi know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, none of your business!” Uchiha Jin snapped: “No secret can hide from me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If not for Itachi two traitors—Fugaku and Shisui—do Itachi think I’d be this cautious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And Itachi, Shisui!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know your Mangekyo is Tsukuyomi—capable of forcibly rewriting anyone’s thoughts and will.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though I have a Mangekyo too, I don’t know if I can resist Tsukuyomi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So listen well!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If one day Itachi find my mind altered, acting completely unlike myself, don’t hesitate—attack the Sarutobi, Tonoki, Mizumon, and Shimura clans.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t fight Konoha’s high-ranking officials—we don’t have enough strong Uchiha. Kill their clan members instead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if the Uchiha is wiped out, drag Konoha into war—give the other ninja villages the chance to strike.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The core principle is simple: if the Uchiha dies, Konoha must die too.”\u003C\u002Fp>",984,"2026-06-20T16:36:27.897Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","21272f0ca5f7529fd3960eb220df7c16668223e75c41523c287dd2371f16e327","uchiha-in-konoha-starting-off-by-standing-up-to--chapter-30","uchiha-in-konoha-starting-off-by-standing-up-to--chapter-28",371,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fuchiha-in-konoha-starting-off-by-standing-up-to--cover.jpg"]
