Chapter 15 Reaction!
"For the Uchiha!"
"For the Will of Fire!"
"For the Will of Fire... For the Will of Fire..."
The passionate roar of shouts echoed throughout the Uchiha clan's territory, even startling the Root members waiting outside the clan's grounds. They quickly sent a warning signal into the village and began preparations for the battle.
After waiting for a long time without seeing the Uchiha who were planning to launch a coup, the group of Root henchmen, who were terrified, were able to continue their guard duties with peace of mind.
Not far from these Root minions, countless invisible parasitic insects swirled around the Uchiha clan's territory barrier, but subsided once again after confirming that this was not the start of a war.
At the same time.
The various ninja clans within Konoha Village, closely following the developments of the events, were experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions, each with their own complex feelings, unable to articulate whether they felt fortunate or regretful...
"Sarutobi, you'll regret this!"
Located in the Root Base in the northwest corner of the village, Shimura Danzo's expression was extremely gloomy as he coldly stared at the two Anbu ninjas in front of him, a sneer creeping into his heart.
At the northernmost part of Konoha Village, atop the Hokage Building, which resembles a steamed bun, a figure resembling an ape gazes into the distance to the southwest with a complex expression.
"The Will of Fire..."
……
The upheaval in the Uchiha clan was like a boulder, smashing the once stagnant Konoha Village into countless splashes.
But all of this obviously had no effect on the people in the Uchiha clan's territory barrier at this moment, especially Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi who were caught in the raging storm.
"How could this happen!"
At the very front of the Jonin ranks, Uchiha Shisui's face was deathly pale. His heart, already tormented by the conflict between his clan and the village, was now pounding uncontrollably.
Although he had previously sensed the oppression of his clan by the village's higher-ups, he had always believed that this was a helpless move by the Third Hokage to maintain peace, and that it was all a manifestation of the noble Will of Fire.
but now……
Uchiha Jin's words were different from his usual nonsensical arguments, such as the Uchiha's will being the will of fire.
Starting from the village's origins and vision, it not only sparked the clansmen's recognition of the Will of Fire, but also stripped away the glamorous facade of Hiruzen Sarutobi from its very source.
Sending children under ten years old to the battlefield is absolutely contrary to the Will of Fire, and yet the Hokage is subtly supporting the oppression of the Uchiha clan. Does this truly align with the Will of Fire?
On the stage, Itachi Uchiha was also momentarily dazed, but as a seven-year-old who could think like a Hokage, he was not shaken by this. Instead, he gained a deeper understanding that the conflict between the village and the clan was irreconcilable.
"Brother Zhishui!"
"You must believe in the Hokage..."
Although Itachi Uchiha didn't say the next sentence, with his soft shout and the unwavering fervor in his eyes, Shisui Uchiha finally came to his senses and stared at the dashing and spirited figure on the stage with a very complicated expression.
tsk...
As expected, talking skills aren't so easy!
Trying to change someone's mind with just words is such an absurd thing that only a delusional protagonist in a shonen manga could pull off...
The interaction between Shisui and Itachi naturally fell into the eyes of Uchiha Jin, who was somewhat disappointed but not surprised.
That guy Shisui is one thing, but he's so weak that even after being ambushed and having his eyes gouged out, he's unwilling to fight to the death and only wants to end it all. Even if you shake his will, it won't make a difference.
This guy is basically useless!
As for Uchiha Itachi!
In Uchiha Jin's memory, this was a cold-blooded monster who would not hesitate to slaughter an entire clan for his younger brother and the village!
It's important to understand that not everyone in the Uchiha clan is a radical who wants to stage a coup. Some of the ninjas may never awaken their Sharingan, so theoretically they pose little threat to the village.
Most importantly, there are still many elderly people and children in the clan. These ordinary people are not even ninjas, let alone having activated the Sharingan.
However, regardless of age or gender, whether they were sixty or seventy-year-old men or toddlers just learning to speak, they were all wiped out.
Even Uchiha Jin, who could reap huge profits, never considered such a thing, yet Uchiha Itachi, who couldn't gain even a fraction of it himself, did just that...
That's insane!
At this moment, Uchiha Jin became even more determined to get rid of Itachi and Shisui as soon as possible, after all, he had long regarded the Uchiha clan as his private property.
Anyone who dares to touch his crops will have their life taken!
"For the rise of the Uchiha clan, for the Will of Fire to illuminate Konoha!"
Uchiha Jin sneered inwardly, then continued to use his talk-no-jutsu on the numerous Uchiha in front of him.
Having undergone nine years of compulsory education, Uchiha Jin's dragon-slaying techniques, while unable to subdue those mentally ill individuals, could easily bully these naive Uchiha.
I'm a master at twisting the facts!
"For the rise of the Uchiha clan, for the Will of Fire to illuminate Konoha!"
"For the rise of the Uchiha clan, for the Will of Fire to illuminate Konoha!"
"For the rise of the Uchiha clan, for the Will of Fire to illuminate Konoha!"
The crowd roared again, and Uchiha Jin's smile on the stage grew even brighter. Finally, under the complex gaze of Uchiha Fugaku, Jin once again gestured for everyone to calm down.
"Itachi, what we're about to do is inappropriate for children. Go stand aside!"
Jin glanced at Uchiha Itachi with amusement, and before the cold-blooded little guy could retort, he kicked him flying towards the podium.
snort!
Before awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, Itachi Uchiha was just a "little brother" in King's eyes. Even with his extremely high talent and ability, he had no chance of resisting King.
snort!
Fugaku Uchiha snorted coldly, raised his hand and caught Itachi Uchiha who was flying towards him, but he was no longer angry as before. He handed Itachi behind his back and ignored his eldest son who was secretly rubbing his butt.
Uchiha Jin's speech just now also stirred the heart of Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha clan. However, what he cared more about at the moment was the method that Uchiha Jin mentioned that could improve the overall strength of the clan. Compared to that, it was not so important for the children to suffer a little grievance.
"very good!"
Uchiha Jin nodded in satisfaction toward the podium, then glanced around at the crowd below. A strange killing intent stirred within him, but this fleeting killing intent went unnoticed by Uchiha Shisui, who was at the very front of the group, who was feeling uneasy.
"The glory of the Uchiha clan is forged in blood and fire, therefore I hereby declare the World's Strongest Ninja Tournament open!"
"Now! Let's begin!"
