Naruto: The Fall of the Uchiha - Chapter 8
“I, Uchiha Jin, demand funds!”
The rebellious tone, tinged with a hint of arrogance, rang sharply in the already quiet meeting hall.
Sure enough!
Upon confirming that the intruder was Uchiha Jin, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Setsuna’s faces darkened in unison, their bodies trembling with barely contained anger.
Huff… Huff…
Don’t get angry, don’t get angry, it’s not worth getting angry with this fool…
After several deep breaths, Fugaku and Setsuna managed to calm themselves down, eyeing the uninvited Jin warily.
Indeed!
There wasn’t much else they could do. Were they going to fight Jin here?
They had tried that before. Even though both Fugaku and Setsuna had Kage-level strength and could defeat a three-tomoe Sharingan elite Jonin like Jin, the problem was Jin didn’t play by the rules…
Sometimes, Fugaku and Setsuna even doubted whether Jin was indeed a Uchiha.
In a clan where strength was revered, and even those who lost would accept defeat, Jin stood out as an unbeatable troublemaker who genuinely wanted to fight to the death.
How could they deal with that…
Fugaku and Setsuna wanted to defeat their opponent, but did they have to kill Jin right there?
If Fugaku and Setsuna truly lost their minds and did such a thing, the so-called “Darkness of the Shinobi World,” Danzo would laugh himself to death.
But if they didn’t kill him…
Even strong individuals like Fugaku and Setsuna found it challenging to face an elite Jonin who only wanted to fight to the death.
Hmm…
“Exposing the Mangeky? Sharingan for a fool like him isn’t worth it…”
This was highly frustrating, especially for someone like Fugaku, who had hidden his powerful trump card and was despised by Jin for being too gentle.
Of course!
Fugaku and Setsuna didn’t want to kill Jin because of his unique teaching abilities.
Not just the young Uchiha at the training grounds, but even Fugaku and Setsuna had noticed a significant improvement in the clan’s overall strength over the past year or two, thanks to Jin’s subtle influence.
Because of this.
While Fugaku and Setsuna felt relieved, they also couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratitude.
Yes!
Even though Konoha had been established for decades, potent ninja teachings remained within family traditions. The ninja academy and the master-disciple traditions within Jonin teams didn’t hold much meaning for the Uchiha, who already had intense family training.
But this wasn’t enough against the current most vital force in the ninja world, Konoha.
Jin changed all that.
He was willing to share everything he knew with every Uchiha, had innovative ideas, and always devised the best training methods for the Uchiha.
He added a systematic tradition to the comprehensive Uchiha family and clan teachings.
This new path focuses on physical fitness as the foundation, the Sharingan as the core, and balanced development in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and ninjutsu!
This thinking was beyond what Fugaku and Setsuna could imagine. How had the clan not passed this down over the past centuries?
I am enhancing my physical fitness to increase my chakra, using the Sharingan’s copying ability for rapid taijutsu and ninjutsu training and leveraging the Sharingan’s natural genjutsu strength.
He also had methods to push the Uchiha to train even harder.
Tsk tsk…
Imagining future enemies facing well-rounded Uchiha elites made Fugaku and Setsuna feel pity for them.
Who would have thought…
What only Uchiha geniuses could achieve in the past was becoming common under Jin’s guidance.
But after thinking it over, Fugaku and Setsuna understood.
Yes!
Perhaps in the past, those who realized this didn’t want to pass it down, and those willing to pass it down didn’t know it. At least, that was the case for Fugaku and Setsuna.
After all, ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu were just tools. Look, stare with the Sharingan, then perform a Fireball Jutsu and eliminate the enemy.
Setsuna thought of Shisui, the orphan, while Fugaku thought of his genius son, Itachi.
Is this something that needs to be taught?
However, one thing was sure: Jin’s presence benefited the “gentle” Fugaku and the “radical” Setsuna in achieving their political goals.
This consideration led them to promote Jin to the youngest elder in the clan, even pressuring Hiruzen Sarutobi.
However…
Jin was incredibly annoying, showing no respect for the clan head (or great elder)!
Fugaku and Setsuna exchanged a look filled with shared frustration, then quickly turned away with a mutual huff, ignoring each other.
Jin was also at a loss, having been ignored for a while. He saw the subtle interactions between Fugaku and Setsuna.
“This strong CP vibe, what’s going on!”
