How many men did we lose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Couldn’t Itachi finish explaining before passing out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a helpless sigh, Hashirama Sarutobi spoke: “Team Jia-3, take Elder Danzo to the hospital. Team Jia-1, head to the Forest of Death. I need to know who the Root was fighting and the exact casualty count.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Anbu squads immediately knelt on one knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One squad lifted Danzo and rushed toward the hospital; the other headed for the Forest of Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hashirama Sarutobi simply watched the two Anbu squads depart, then turned to gaze at the Root base, now blazing furiously—uncertain whether he should even order the fire put out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew what secrets lay inside the Root base? What if the Anbu sent to extinguish the fire uncovered something they ‘shouldn’t’ see…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, he shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t afford that cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, these were Anbu—not his own personal death-servants. He dared not risk it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Hashirama Sarutobi could only pray that Danzo had truly killed Uchiha Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Team Jia-1 returned quickly, their eyes filled with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hokage-sama, there are so many dead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hundreds of corpses litter the edge of the Forest of Death—easily over three hundred. Most are rogue ninja and defectors. We even found bodies dressed as Anbu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exact numbers and identities require further verification!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, a massive fissure has appeared in the Forest of Death. We don’t yet know what ninjutsu caused it, but it’s almost certainly linked to the giant black figure that suddenly appeared there earlier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Anbu knelt and reported in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black giant’s silhouette had been enormous—even from far away, they’d clearly seen the thirty-meter-tall figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just them—likely the entire Hidden Leaf had seen it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hashirama Sarutobi closed his eyes, his mind racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the death toll shocked him, if it meant killing Uchiha Jin, these lives were worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Uchiha Jin alive—or dead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was all Danzo’s fault for panicking. Couldn’t Itachi just tell me the truth before collapsing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could’ve planned my next moves based on the facts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But luckily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While I sensed the battle at the Root base and rushed here with Anbu, I also sent a trusted agent to the Uchiha clan grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Uchiha Jin survived, I’ll know soon enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Anbu member walked over from a distance and whispered to Hashirama Sarutobi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hokage-sama, Uchiha Jin has returned to the clan grounds!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Hashirama Sarutobi’s scalp prickled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d given Danzo so many men—and still Uchiha Jin lived?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew his plan was ruined. The Uchiha would be even harder to control now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, he immediately asked: “What’s Uchiha Jin’s condition? Did Itachi see any injuries? Blindness? Anything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hashirama Sarutobi still held a sliver of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Anbu member replied respectfully: “No injuries. Uchiha Jin is perfectly healthy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though his clothes are stained with blood, his steps are steady, and his face shows no fatigue whatsoever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His eyes remain sharp and bright!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hashirama Sarutobi’s heart sank to the bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind raced—his entire strategy had been built on Jin’s death. Who could’ve imagined he’d survive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving aside other matters, just the Police Force alone was already a nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his original plan, once Uchiha Jin died, he’d install Fugaku as leader, have Fugaku reorganize the Police Force, and at least replace the Anbu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time, he’d release Shisui and Itachi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything would return to its original state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most fucking infuriating thing? Uchiha Jin didn’t die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, he slowly spoke: “Deploy agents to find Jiraiya and Tsunade. Do everything possible to persuade them to return.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” The Anbu bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hashirama Sarutobi cast one final, deep look at the burning Root base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said nothing, and turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to the clan grounds, Uchiha Jin saw Uchiha clan members gathered along the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might not know what happened tonight, but so many clan elders had departed, and a thirty-meter-tall black giant had appeared in the Forest of Death…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, they were terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they saw Uchiha Jin return, they instantly felt reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, it’s fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go back and rest. As long as I’m here, the Uchiha won’t fall into chaos!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry. Sleep well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Jin smiled as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice carried a calming strength; the anxious Uchiha members finally relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at his home, Uchiha Jin faced a gathering of clan elders and elite three-tomoe members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many wore bloodstained robes and bore wounds large and small, yet upon seeing Uchiha Jin, they all burst into joyful exclamations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Jin is back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jin, are Itachi alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi’re back—that’s a miracle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone spoke at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces glowed with relief; the gloomy atmosphere vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Uchiha Jin smiled and said: “Thank Itachi all for your hard work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone waved dismissively, as if the wounds meant nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fugaku stepped forward: “Jin, your parents have been rescued.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Their bodies are unharmed, but your father’s Sharingan was gouged out. Fortunately, we have surviving Sharingan eyes from deceased clan members—I’ve already given him a new pair.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your mother’s power is weaker—only a two-tomoe Sharingan—so she couldn’t use Izanagi, and her eyes were left untouched.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tonight, we rescued thirty-two Uchiha who had gone missing from the clan grounds.”\u003C\u002Fp>",944,"2026-06-20T16:36:27.897Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f44bcb87d6c2f73a075442ffd37db1f0d42f9ae0e2cf104aee6600c668f3c088","uchiha-in-konoha-starting-off-by-standing-up-to--chapter-57","uchiha-in-konoha-starting-off-by-standing-up-to--chapter-55",371,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fuchiha-in-konoha-starting-off-by-standing-up-to--cover.jpg"]
