Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: The Increasingly Chaotic Village, Yet the Radical Faction Remains Strangely Silent!

A great migration began within the Uchiha Clan.

Following Uchiha Jin's words spreading from the Naka Shrine, Uchiha clansmen who chose to believe him moved toward the Radical Faction's compound.

The reasoning was simple!

Regardless of whether the Konoha Leadership would retaliate, it was better to be safe than sorry, as they wouldn't incur much loss anyway.

Especially since people had indeed been secretly disappearing frequently in the Uchiha Clan Compound lately. Considering this, even though they didn't care about factional disputes, they didn't mind seeking refuge with the Radical Faction.

The members of the Radical Faction were naturally overjoyed by this.

In their view, this was proof that the Radical Faction had won the people's hearts!

Time slowly passed.

As time went by, due to Fugaku's weakness and hesitation in allowing this situation to unfold, many Uchiha clansmen who had been watching also began moving to the Radical Faction's residence.

The massive Uchiha Clan Compound was thus directly split into two.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Shisui did indeed approach Hiruzen Sarutobi, but he was easily rebuffed.

In Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Danzo and Kagami were good friends, and the Sharingan was a gift given before death.

Just like that—Shisui believed it!

After all, there was the previous incident involving Obito and Kakashi, so wouldn't another similar case seem understandable now?

If it were Uchiha Jin, he would naturally dismiss this as nonsense. How dare Danzo try to equate himself with Kakashi?

Did he have the nerve?

But, unfortunately!

Shisui was not Uchiha Jin, and he was convinced so easily.

As for Danzo's arm full of Sharingan, it was dismissed with the phrase 'It's all for Konoha.' After all, Danzo lost an arm for Konoha a few years ago. If Danzo used a few of your Uchiha Sharingan to better serve Konoha, what was the big deal?

The convinced Shisui had long forgotten that the Sharingan was a clan Bloodline Limit, and that all Bloodline Limits were fundamental to the major Ninja Clanss, and no Ninja Clans could tolerate such an occurrence... Ten days later.

The great migration within the Uchiha Clan was over. The Radical Faction's residence became exceptionally lively, with visible and hidden sentries spread throughout the surroundings, and a new Barrier directly covering the entire compound.

The Moderate Faction and the Moderate Faction, on the other side, chose to trust the Konoha Leadership under the leadership of Clan Head Fugaku and the support of Shisui, a Mangekyo user.

But, unfortunately.

Danzo, who had lost an arm's worth of Sharingan, was forced to arrest Three-Tomoe Uchiha even more frantically in order to stabilize the Hashirama cells in his right arm.

There was no alternative.

Since this was not the time point of the Uchiha massacre, Danzo didn't have many Three-Tomoe Sharingan in stock; Uchiha Jin had directly destroyed ten of them last time. For the sake of his own body, he had to take action.

He was even more manic than before!

However, because the Radical Faction's defenses were too strict, he naturally could only target the Moderate Faction and the Moderate Faction.

For a time.

The Moderate Faction and the Moderate Faction naturally felt insecure.

Fugaku: "Trust the Village, trust Hokage-sama. These are all coincidences!"

Shisui: "Everyone, don't panic. Hokage-sama will investigate!"

An Uchiha Clan Head and a Mangekyo powerhouse both spoke out.

They were also panicking and under immense mental pressure!

But they dared not emulate the Radical Faction by easily changing the Clan Compound Barrier or increasing the visible and hidden sentries, because that would imply distrusting the Village.

For people like them, no matter how great the mental pressure, they dared not easily resort to such methods.

However, three days later.

They no longer had the capacity to worry about that issue, because rumors began circulating in the Village again that the Uchiha were planning a rebellion soon.

Moreover, the scope of the rumors this time was much more intense than before.

Fugaku, Shisui, and the others were panicking, but they had no solution. Even seeking help from the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, only resulted in stale reassurances.

'Trust the villagers, trust the Village.'

'Rumors stop with the wise. Leave everything to time!'

'Don't panic, don't be afraid. I've got everything covered.'

'As the Hokage, I will certainly resolve this!'

Although Fugaku and Shisui felt wronged, having no other options, they could only temporarily trust the Village and the Hokage.

But, unfortunately.

Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't tried to stop it at all; in fact, the matter itself had his tacit approval. Otherwise, Root alone couldn't have made it this widespread.

Unfortunately, those two fools, Fugaku and Shisui, couldn't even see through such a simple matter, and could solve nothing except by worrying uselessly.

On the other side.

Compared to the anxious Fugaku and Shisui, the Radical Faction remained strangely silent.

Uchiha Jin had completely disappeared from public view.

He had been keeping a low profile almost every day during this period, solely to restore his Mangekyo visual power. After all, without a system backing him, he had to maintain peak condition as much as possible.

This was also why he hadn't immediately flipped the table and killed the other factions within the clan and the Konoha Leadership, choosing instead to engage in a battle of wits within the rules of the game.

Strength was a critical weakness!

Unless he could acquire Hashirama cells in the future, or find a way to activate the Eternal Mangekyo.

"Lord Jin, are you really not going to intervene?"

"In the Moderate Faction and Moderate Faction, another person disappeared last night, and it was a powerhouse who had just awakened the Three-Tomoe."

"Although everyone belongs to different factions, they are Uchiha nonetheless. It truly pains him to watch."

"If we actually rebel, these are all fighting forces!"

Uchiha Setsuna's mouth was twisted in a bitter smile.

At this moment, he was restless. Even as a member of the Radical Faction, he was deeply distressed by these losses.

In response to this.

Uchiha Jin leisurely brewed tea, not taking the matter to heart at all.

"Elder Setsuna, I am also pained."

"But the current Uchiha have long been domesticated into house dogs, losing the ferocity of their ancestors."

"The only method I can think of is to break down before building up!"

"These losses, in my opinion, are far from enough. Only by having more Ninja die and completely shattering these people's illusions can we possibly unify the entire clan and gain the qualification to contend with the Konoha Leadership."

"This is also why I haven't completely fallen out with the Konoha Leadership. The Radical Faction alone doesn't even have the qualification to drag the Konoha Leadership down with us, let alone stage a major event like a rebellion."

"Only by integrating the entire Uchiha Clan will we barely have that qualification."

"Yes, you heard correctly!"

"Even if we integrate the entire Uchiha Clan, we only have the qualification to drag Konoha down to death with us. Trying to rebel is still a bit too difficult."

Uchiha Jin's tone was deep and thoughtful.

As a Transmigrator, he understood Konoha more deeply, so he dared not act too rashly.

Uchiha Setsuna, upon hearing this, was stunned: "Jin, why are you so wary of the Konoha Leadership? Do those Old Geezers really have that capability?"

"Aren't you being a bit too cautious?"

"Hiruzen Sarutobi might have been powerful when he was young, but he's old and frail now, and the experts from the other Ninja Clanss are inferior to the Uchiha."

"I think if we Uchiha just rebel, the probability of success is quite high!"
