Uchiha Inaho did not hide anything.
He directly revealed the entire situation, even casually mentioning his secret intention to act against the Radical Faction.
This—is the Uchiha!
They disdain hiding their emotions; whatever they think, they say directly.
Since Jin's actions earned his approval, he would offer all his loyalty, not caring if it offended Uchiha Jin, and willing to sacrifice his life for it.
You could call the Uchiha extreme, arrogant, and condescending, but similarly, if you truly possess the means to make them submit, they will follow your lead for life!
"So, that's how it is!"
"Then I congratulate you on making the right choice, because Fugaku truly lacks the ability to handle the Village's complex situation."
"I will let you see that under my leadership, the Uchiha will change their current decline."
Uchiha Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.
Looking at Uchiha Inaho before him, he increasingly felt the correctness of his plans!
Because according to his original estimation, a large number of Uchiha had to die before the remaining Uchiha could awaken; he hadn't expected that the deaths of just a few Uchiha would cause the vast majority to defect to him, even confidants of the Clan Head like Inaho.
As expected!
The Uchiha are a bunch of stubborn fools, the type who won't turn back until they hit a brick wall.
Only when they truly bleed and feel pain will they genuinely be willing to listen to you.
Currently, the harvest is remarkable!
At the very least.
Within the entire Uchiha Clan now, almost everyone has defected to him, excluding only the few ruling faction elders and their immediate confidants.
As for whether these people are spies? Uchiha Jin is not worried at all!
The Uchiha don't have the brains for that!
Even geniuses like Shisui and Itachi, who were bought off by Hiruzen Sarutobi in the original work, couldn't manage the most basic emotional concealment in daily life, could they?
The Uchiha clan members in the original work all knew that those two stood with the Hokage!
Their status as spies was essentially a joke.
This is actually one of the benefits of being born Uchiha; you basically don't have to worry about spies within the clan, because the Uchiha personality dictates that they simply cannot do that kind of job.
Even if someone were willing to be a spy, they'd be eager to carve the word 'Spy' onto their forehead!
"Elder Jin, Anbu is here for you!"
An Uchiha walked in and knelt on one knee respectfully.
His eyes were filled with adoration and fanaticism; he never even thought about hiding his emotions.
Seeing this, Uchiha Jin couldn't help but smile and say, "Longyan, stand up."
"We used to be teammates, so there's no need to be overly polite with me. You know I don't have many ridiculous rules here. From now on, stop kneeling every time you see me."
"I know you respect me, but in my view, respect is held in the heart."
"As for these superficial rules, save them for formal occasions; don't bother with this routine normally!"
Hearing this, Uchiha Longyan admired Jin even more.
After all... someone who is already strong in power, methods, and character, yet remains so gentle toward subordinates—a leader of this caliber is far superior to Fugaku.
In fact, it wasn't just him who thought this; even Uchiha Inaho was utterly shocked.
It couldn't be helped!
His perception of Uchiha Jin was still focused on the domineering behavior displayed at the clan meeting; this was the first time he had seen the man's private side.
"Elder Jin, you must be careful."
"Our members in the Village saw that Fugaku is currently also in the Hokage Building, so I think the visitors this time bear ill intentions!"
Uchiha Longyan spoke in a deep voice.
Because Uchiha Jin is in power, the Radical Faction is completely different from the original work; not only is their compound strictly guarded, but they have also deployed many scouts throughout the Village.
Whether it's the Hokage Building, Root, or the major Ninja Clanss, Uchiha Jin can grasp any significant anomaly instantly.
This is why Uchiha Longyan was able to obtain intelligence about the Hokage Building so quickly after the Anbu arrived.
And, regarding this.
Uchiha Jin smiled, but did not take it seriously.
"Don't worry, it's all minor stuff!"
"I probably know what Hiruzen Sarutobi is trying to pull. Longyan, you don't need to worry about my safety."
"While I am away from the compound, make sure to handle the compound's protection properly!"
Uchiha Jin's expression was as calm as ever at this moment.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's political maneuvering is too low-level. Since the Ninja World's One-Village, One-Country System was only established a few decades ago, Hiruzen's methods might seem decent, but to Uchiha Jin, who was born in the Land of China in his previous life, he knows exactly what Hiruzen Sarutobi is planning the moment he drops his pants... Fifteen minutes later, in the Hokage Office.
Uchiha Jin knocked on the door, and only entered after receiving permission.
His face was full of gentle smiles. When he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi, he narrowed his eyes slightly, yet spoke very courteously: "Hokage-sama, do you have any instructions for me?"
The words from his mouth were quite humble.
However.
His body language was quite rude; he didn't even kneel on one knee, and there was not a hint of respect in his eyes.
This was normal!
They had already completely fallen out last time. If neither side had the ability to kill the other without injury, they would have long since flipped the table and started a civil war.
Therefore, it was enough for them to maintain a barely passable façade; no one should expect Uchiha Jin to show much respect.
Fugaku's expression was grim.
Looking at the disrespectful Uchiha Jin, he really wanted to slap the guy dead, but considering the man's terrifying influence, he sighed helplessly and pretended not to notice.
It couldn't be helped!
As a Clan Head with no followers, he truly had no way to deal with Uchiha Jin.
Although he had also awakened the Mangekyo, his indecisiveness prevented him from exposing it, fearing it would provoke greater apprehension from the Konoha Leadership. Now that he had even lost his authority within the clan, he naturally had even less confidence in moving against Uchiha Jin.
Therefore.
He chose—patience!
Since he had endured for so long, enduring this moment was nothing.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth twitched.
He was naturally equally displeased with Uchiha Jin before him, so when he saw the anger in Fugaku's eyes, his own eyes lit up, wondering if this guy was finally going to assert himself?
That would be a good thing!
That bastard Uchiha Jin certainly needed a lesson.
Even if Fugaku wasn't his match, it would still be good to make Uchiha Jin lose face.
However, regrettably.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had already settled down, ready to watch the show, but why did Fugaku suddenly back down again?
Damn it, what a complete waste!
What the hell can I rely on you for? After all that, this old man has to do it himself!
