It's all Danzo's fault!

Chapter 18 It's all Danzo's fault!

No-seal ninjutsu, Rasengan!

Although it is far less imposing than the Uchiha's signature Fire Release ninjutsu, its unique characteristic of being a hand seal-less ninjutsu reduces the skill's startup animation. Combined with the Uchiha Sharingan's powerful observational abilities, it is enough to launch a decisive counterattack on the battlefield.

Furthermore, the Rasengan is a ninjutsu without chakra nature, which means it is like a blank sheet of paper and can create different effects based on different chakra natures, just like the Fire Release chakra nature transformation that Uchiha Chiya is good at, giving the Rasengan a more powerful breakthrough and explosive ability.

While Lightning Release: Chidori requires hand seals, it is clearly a variant ninjutsu derived from the former. Although it has fixed the characteristics of lightning, it is in no way inferior to the former in terms of power and subsequent development and use.

Furthermore, since Chidori only requires three hand seals ("Ox," "Rabbit," and "Monkey"), it means that once one can skillfully use this ninjutsu, the hand seal steps can be omitted with only a slight loss of power.

Another ninjutsu without hand seals!

For other ninja clans, this might just be another A-rank ninjutsu with extremely high difficulty, but for the Uchiha clan with the Sharingan...

Especially for the Uchiha clan, who are currently able to gain ninjutsu experience at an unparalleled level, their innate chakra reserves are stronger than those of ordinary ninja clans, and their innate observational abilities far surpass those of all other ninja clans. These two traits are simply two super-powerful weapons that perfectly suit their bloodline.

It can be said that in certain situations, even some Chunin from the Uchiha clan could pose a threat to a qualified Jonin.

The thought of nearly a thousand Uchiha ninjas simultaneously unleashing Rasengan and Lightning Release: Chidori made even Uchiha Shisui, who was able to activate Susanoo, break out in a cold sweat.

And this also means!

"not good!"

Uchiha Shisui suddenly raised his head and looked towards the podium, and then his heart trembled uncontrollably.

There it is!

The Fugaku clan chief, who had been completely calm, now displayed the same fanatical expression as the Uchiha elder beside him.

"Jin, you did it!"

Upon realizing this, Uchiha Shisui felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness welling up inside him, and somehow he blurted out the words in his heart.

"What?"

At first, Uchiha Jin thought he had misheard, but after seeing the complex expression on Uchiha Shisui's face, a playful smile crept onto his lips.

"Since he is our clan leader, he should naturally consider the future of the clan."

"How did you obtain the training methods for the Rasengan and Lightning Release: Chidori?"

Uchiha Shisui realized he had lost his composure, but still couldn't help asking the question that had been bothering him.

"The method of training the Rasengan is not a secret. You can easily deduce it by doing some research."

Can I tell you that Kishimoto told me?

"As for Chidori..."

Uchiha Jin gazed northwards towards the clan's territory, seemingly recalling something amusing.

"Although Kakashi Hatake is an Anbu member, Anbu members cannot usually identify themselves as Anbu members. As members of the police department, it wouldn't be an easy task for us to cause him trouble."

"So that's how it is," Uchiha Shisui nodded slightly, understanding what had happened without needing Uchiha Jin to answer further.

The clone ninja had his ninjutsu copied...

How ironic!

Uchiha Jin was also very satisfied with this. It has to be said that the name of the police department was really useful. As long as he didn't directly confront Hiruzen Sarutobi, he could do almost anything in Konoha.

"Can't the village and the clan live together peacefully?"

Although he knew that talking about peace with Jin, the "leader of the Jade Shattering Clan," was absurd, Uchiha Shisui, who was already on the verge of collapse, still couldn't help but plead.

"sure!"

To Shisui's surprise, Uchiha Jin gave an affirmative answer, so he quickly pressed for more information.

"Really?"

"Of course, as long as the village leadership stops deliberately suppressing and harassing us, and gives my Uchiha clan the fairest treatment, do you think we need an armed coup under those circumstances?"

"The Hokage is also...it's all Danzo's doing..."

Uchiha Shisui opened his mouth weakly, wanting to say something in defense of the Third Hokage, but he didn't know what to say.

Having been a member of the Anbu for so many years and dedicated himself to resolving conflicts between his family and the village, it would be self-deception to say that Shisui truly understood nothing.

"Of course I know this is all Danzo's fault, and has nothing to do with our great Third Hokage, plus it's a consequence of the Nine-Tails' attack!"

At this moment, Uchiha Jin didn't mind putting some more pressure on Shisui. Once the seed was planted, he would surely give him another surprise soon!

"But the problem is that that incident really had nothing to do with us. The clansmen won't understand how much effort the Hokage has put into maintaining peace in the village. All we felt was endless malice from the village!"

"Now that you're already considered an enemy, are you really going to be foolish enough to offer your neck for execution?"

"Or do you think the Uchiha clan did something so heinous that they deserve to be hated by the entire Hidden Leaf Village and have such a bad reputation that even children spit on them behind their backs, just like adults do?"

Shishui fell silent.

Have the Uchiha clan members ever done anything so heinous?

Of course not. The Uchiha, who are self-important, arrogant, and haughty, have a pride that runs deep in their bones, but they also disdain doing things that break the law.

Such clansmen, however, would have to endure the village's accusations, so resistance was inevitable; it was only a matter of time.

Even though he knew this, Uchiha Shisui still held onto a sliver of hope, naively hoping that everything could be resolved peacefully.

But all the recent changes indicate that things are now rapidly heading in the direction he least wants to go.

and so!

It's all Danzo's fault!

"Shisui, I hope you like the gift I gave you!"

Uchiha Jin smiled knowingly, placed his right hand on Shisui's shoulder and patted him, then spoke with a meaningful expression.

"What?"

Still struggling with the question of Danzo's role as Hokage's assistant, Uchiha Shisui looked at Uchiha Jin in front of him with a puzzled expression.

But instead of a reply from Uchiha Jin, he received a response from Uchiha Tonbo, who was wearing a red and white referee's uniform on the arena.

"The winner of this match is Uchiha Habara. The loser is out! The winner will proceed to the rest room!"

"Next match, the Jonin group: Uchiha Munen and Uchiha Shisui, come to the stage!"

Rumble!

As a burst of intense heat erupted, Uchiha Sogen's figure slowly emerged from it, and then he provocatively turned his Sharingan in his eye sockets toward Shisui below the stage.

"I...I didn't register!"

Uchiha Shisui was completely bewildered. He couldn't understand why he, who hadn't signed up for the competition, was now the ninja who had to go on stage.

But in the next moment...

Bang!

With a rapid impact from long legs and buttocks, Uchiha Shisui floated in mid-air with a look of astonishment on his face. In his angry gaze as he looked back, he was certain who was behind all of this.

Uchiha, Jin!
