Naruto: The Fall of the Uchiha - Chapter 6
Silence…
With Uchiha Shisui’s departure, the room fell into a brief, eerie silence.
However, this silence didn’t last long. After the chair he was sitting on shattered into pieces, Uchiha Jin’s anger exploded again.
Damn it!
Damn it! Damn it!
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!…
If possible, Uchiha Jin would use every means to eliminate the man known as “Shisui of the Body Flicker.”
Unfortunately…
Uchiha Shisui wasn’t like Itachi, who was obsessed with his younger brother. There was no chance to use a sibling as a hostage against him.
Damn, orphan!!!
Jin swore he had never felt as frustrated as he did, not even when dealing with orphans in his previous life.
I wanted to cut the guy into a thousand pieces, yet I had to smile and appease him so we could fight together.
Fight, my foot!
Without his lack of strength and the game rules, he would have killed his teammates and taken on the rest alone.
Grass, it’s a plant!
Unfortunately, Shisui had awakened the Mangeky? Sharingan and was highly proficient in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. His strength was among the top in the entire ninja world.
Though he might be a bit foolish and an orphan…
But.
This was still beyond what Jin could handle with only his three-tomoe Sharingan. Even though his three-tomoe Sharingan wasn’t ordinary, he had hidden trump cards…
**[Host: Uchiha Jin]**
**[Bloodline: Three-tomoe Sharingan]**
**[Chakra: 8 units]**
**[Skills: Yin Release LV5, Fire Release LV5, Taijutsu LV5, Genjutsu LV5, Lightning Release LV4, Wind Release LV3, Water Release LV2, Earth Release LV2, Yang Release LV1, other skills omitted…]**
**[Dutiful Son Storage: Three-tomoe Sharingan*1, Two-tomoe Sharingan*2, Jonin…]**
Scanning the information on the storage panel, Jin took a deep breath and finally calmed down.
There was no choice.
In this ninja world, where everyone preached the Will of Fire, what ultimately decided everything was strength.
Strength was the foundation for proclaiming one’s ideology. The words and will of the weak… were just the cries of defeated dogs that no one cared about.
Shisui of the Body Flicker!
We were just thinking of the name that had made him wary for three years, which filled Uchiha Jin with indescribable frustration.
To safely get through this ‘weak phase,’ Jin had done everything he could, ultimately deciding to wear the “Shatter Genius” mask.
Yes.
When Jin arrived, he was merely a Chunin with a two-tomoe Sharingan. While this wasn’t weak within Konoha, it wasn’t safe enough for an “evil Uchiha.”
After the Nine-Tails’ attack, a two-tomoe Uchiha Jin primarily served in the Konoha Military Police Force, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t in danger.
Spies, invasions, special missions…
Despite their ranking system, Ninja missions hid countless unseen dangers, from attacks by other villages to the ever-present threat of the “Darkness of the Shinobi World.” Any of these could be used by “Kage of the Roots” Danzo to weaken the Uchiha.
With internal and external threats, as a Chunin?
Someone could whimsically decide to eliminate Jin any day before he can become the Uchiha’s terminator.
“Boss, I’m one of you…”
Unfortunately.
For ninjas, words didn’t need to be heard, let alone believed.
Yes… leaving the village was a dead end!
So Uchiha Jin naturally had to stay in the village. Being a clan instructor in the Uchiha, who was already somewhat isolated, minimized his chances of leaving the town.
But this wasn’t foolproof. The most straightforward reason was that Jin didn’t want to muddle through these three years and then happily attend Shisui’s feast.
He!
Uchiha training master!
Combining thoughts from two worlds, how could he not spark some ideas that would shock the natives of this world?
Moreover, only a stronger Uchiha clan would benefit Jin more, giving him the confidence to stand tall in this cruel, cold ninja world.
However, this also meant Jin’s uniqueness was hard to hide from Konoha’s F4, who constantly monitored the Uchiha.
Imagining conversations like “Danzo, I’m the Hokage!” “Hiruzen, you’ll regret this”…
After these iconic scenes, Danzo would happily dig a pit for Jin.
Indeed.
Danzo’s political wisdom might not be high, but Jin did not want to endure his sinister methods.
So, while dining at a clan member’s feast, Jin “accidentally” awakened his three-tomoe Sharingan and demonstrated his “Shatter Genius” resolve by showing his strong teaching abilities.
Make Uchiha great again. Konoha belongs to the Uchiha!
The Uchiha should storm the Hokage’s office directly and decapitate the Konoha leadership!
Kill Hiruzen, slay Danzo, take down Mitokado Homura, and make Konoha bow to the Uchiha!
Thus.
Uchiha clan training instructor! The only “Shatter Genius” of the Uchiha!
It could be said.
If Jin dared step out of the Uchiha compound, this infamous “Shatter Genius” would likely end prematurely.
In this scenario, the “protective” moderates and radicals wouldn’t let such an outcome happen.
They blocked any special missions from the Hokage or imposters from the ANBU outside the clan compound.
Especially after a three-tomoe Uchiha Jonin died unexpectedly during a simple mission, the cautious Uchiha immediately appointed Jin to the Uchiha Elder Council.
For someone who could strengthen the Uchiha’s foundation and was the only one protected by radicals and moderates…
Are you sacrificing him to appease the Hokage’s faction?
Impossible!
Therefore, even the previously “weak” clan leader Fugaku, under the pressure of the Elder Council, clearly indicated Jin’s special status within the Military Police Force and the Uchiha clan to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Jin is not a ninja!
Uchiha Jin is a member of the Uchiha Elder Council, responsible solely for internal training and not subject to anyone’s orders.
In this way, Jin’s crises naturally diminished.
Unless they wanted a complete fallout with the Uchiha, Hiruzen couldn’t do anything to Jin.
As for Danzo?
He couldn’t even enter the Uchiha compound. If Root members stepped in, they would die without anyone caring.
Thus.
Whether wary of provoking Jin or out of a desire to protect fellow clan members, Jin became the only Uchiha forbidden to leave the compound.
Despite Jin’s seemingly perfect design for a relatively safe development environment, two Damocles swords constantly hung over his head.
Uchiha Obito! Uchiha Shisui!
The former’s Kamui could bypass the Uchiha’s barriers, and the combination of Mangeky? and Wood Release was formidable.
The latter’s Kotoamatsukami was Jin’s biggest fear. Even though Shisui wouldn’t use it recklessly, even if Jin fell under its spell…
He was sure he’d only be mentally controlled and not killed. After Shisui’s inevitable death, Jin could likely break free from Kotoamatsukami.
But this was the last resort, something Jin never wanted to experience!
So, his least desired confrontation was with Shisui. He tried to drive him away with “family ties” and scare him off with the “final straw” facade, hoping Shisui’s political acumen was genuinely lacking.
Tsk tsk…
Still too weak…
This won’t do!
If you don’t work hard, how can you get stronger?
Jin’s eyes turned cold as he looked at the Uchiha younglings training hard in the distance, then roared angrily once more.
“Everyone, increase your weights by twenty kilograms!”
