"We can't wait any longer, Monkey!"
"I told you—use titles when we're on duty."
Hearing Danzō's voice, the Third Hokage tapped his desk with his pipe, his tone carrying clear displeasure.
Then he turned to look out the window.
The night was pitch-black, silent as ink.
Not a single sound carried over.
This was completely different from what they had expected.
"Cough… Third, the Uchiha are a prestigious clan of Konoha after all. Even if their strength has declined in recent years, they're still among the very top,"
Koharu Utatane said, sensing the tension and stepping in to smooth things over.
"If something really happened, it couldn't possibly be this quiet."
"Hoo—"
In response, the Third Hokage simply lit his pipe and took a deep drag.
The thick smell of tobacco dimmed even the light in the Hokage's office.
"Don't worry. The conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha will disappear forever."
After saying that, he fell silent.
He trusted Itachi's strength.
That child was the most talented genius he had ever seen.
Even the Sannin, who had once shaken the shinobi world, fell short by comparison.
Bang!
Danzō was clearly dissatisfied.
He slammed his cane down hard and snorted coldly. "Hmph! You can stay calm—I can't!"
"I'm going to take a look myself!"
Bang!
With that, he stormed out.
Inside the room, Sarutobi Hiruzen watched his back and let out a small sigh of relief.
"With Danzō making a move… it should be foolproof now, right?"
He trusted this old friend of his deeply.
Danzō was no weaker than he was.
"Still no news?"
Hyūga Hiashi looked at the intelligence report in his hands and slowly opened his eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, he stood up and walked straight outside.
If no information was coming back, then—he would go see for himself.
He couldn't sit still anymore.
This matter would completely reshape Konoha's political landscape.
He couldn't afford to be careless.
And it wasn't just him.
The heads of the Ino–Shika–Chō clans also found it hard to stay seated, quietly rising to their feet.
In the night, figures began to move.
All of them heading toward the remote Uchiha compound.
Meanwhile, inside the Uchiha compound—
the focal point of everyone's attention—
It was utterly silent.
Itachi's mind wavered for a moment.
He blinked, then looked at Shisui again.
All he saw was Shisui, bandages still wrapped around his eyes, slowly approaching.
As if that brief moment earlier had just been an illusion.
An illusion?
Whatever. It didn't matter.
He tried to think it through, but for some reason felt it was meaningless.
It had no real impact on him anyway.
Then, when he looked at Jin again, an inexplicable change surfaced in his heart.
Was it reverence?
Or perhaps… fear?
Amaterasu—his godlike technique—had failed!
Tsukuyomi—his ultimate killing illusion—had been useless!
Even the Susanoo he had only just managed to grasp… had been slapped apart!
He, Uchiha Itachi, had been utterly defeated.
Defeated at what he was best at—what he had always taken pride in!
In his daze, Jin's figure overlapped with memories of Fugaku teaching him as a child.
One hand was all it took to pin him down.
"I must be dizzy… to be thinking such absurd things."
Itachi shook his head, trying to purge these impossible thoughts from his mind.
At that moment, he suddenly noticed a kunai had appeared in his hand.
"This is…?"
Before the question could fully form, the world suddenly spun.
Bang!
A sharp pain exploded in his head, his vision went black—and he lost consciousness completely.
Jin shook his hand.
After receiving Shisui's confirming glance, he casually slammed Itachi straight into the ground.
That's right.
Straight into the ground.
Like sticking a bamboo pole into the earth—upside down, headfirst.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Under that sudden impact, Itachi had no chance of resisting and passed out cold.
Fugaku's eyebrow twitched. He subconsciously glanced back toward the inner room.
After confirming there was no movement, he finally relaxed.
Obito: …
Blood-related or not,
this younger brother really didn't hesitate at all.
But!
As long as Itachi was no longer in Jin's hands, it was fine.
Obito's eyes flickered, the tomoe in his pupils shifting slightly.
Whooo—
A light breeze blew, lifting the hem of the black cloak with red clouds.
Kamui!
The next second, the space around Uchiha Itachi began to distort.
Buzz—buzz—
Soon, it twisted into a vortex and vanished completely.
"Damn it! Let go of Itachi!"
Seeing this, Fugaku—who had been watching the whole time—couldn't hold back any longer.
He stomped the ground and rushed forward, hands rapidly forming seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Whooo—
A massive wave of scorching flames surged forth!
But the moment it touched Obito's body, it passed straight through him.
No resistance at all.
"Hm? The same ability?"
"And Jin… why is that kid not reacting at all…?"
Fugaku truly lived up to his reputation as a seasoned "professional slacker."
While attacking, he also kept an eye on Jin out of the corner of his vision.
When he realized his second son showed no reaction whatsoever, he quietly stopped forming seals.
He didn't know why, but—he knew Jin always had his own plans.
Maybe he shouldn't interfere at all.
"I'm getting old… I can't even see through the thoughts of two kids anymore…"
With that thought, Fugaku slowly shook his head, turned around, walked over to Shisui, and helped push his wheelchair.
In the courtyard.
After absorbing Itachi, Obito's posture visibly relaxed.
Of course, he didn't leave immediately.
Instead, he looked at Jin's small figure with undisguised admiration in his eyes.
"As an Uchiha, to reach this level…"
"Jin, how about joining us to create a new world?"
As he spoke, he flung open his black cloak with red clouds.
The fabric fluttered loudly in the wind.
"A new world?"
Jin raised his brows slightly.
A world full of Rin?
Then what about Kakashi?
Seeing Jin's apparent interest, Obito's eyes lit up.
He spoke enthusiastically, painting visions of the future.
Compared to Itachi, Jin made his mouth water even more!
Especially that use of Tailed Beast power!
As someone who had personally controlled a Tailed Beast before, Obito could clearly sense it—
That was absolutely Tailed Beast chakra.
But—
the Tailed Beasts were supposed to be inside their jinchūriki.
So where did Jin's come from?
With these questions in mind, Obito tried even harder to recruit him.
If they could master this ability, then capturing the Tailed Beasts could begin ahead of schedule!
Thinking of this, Obito's smile beneath the mask grew wider.
He talked more and more passionately.
Meanwhile, Jin looked at the traits popping up on Obito's body and silently clicked his tongue.

Hiss!
Gold drop!
Seeing this information, Jin's smile suddenly turned strange—playful, even.
If he summoned this thing later…
Obito goes home, takes a look—
Huh?
My house got robbed?!
