The Holy Mother deserves to die!

Chapter 48 The Holy Mother deserves to die!

[Ding! Death detected among Uchiha clan members!]

[Ding, does the host wish to...?]

When he heard the system notification, Uchiha Jin did not feel the joy he had expected, but rather a calm that he himself could not quite describe.

Uchiha Shisui...

This stumbling block in his path finally met its end at the hands of Uchiha Jin after being carefully orchestrated and guided time and again.

You might find this strange...

Gazing at the corpse that was gradually losing its temperature, there was no trace of pain on the slightly honest face, but rather an indescribable sense of bewilderment and confusion.

It's not hard to imagine how complex Uchiha Shisui's thoughts were before his death, to the point that he forgot his already weakened body and the extreme pain that extinguished his life force.

It seems that until the moment of his death, Uchiha Shisui never imagined that his demise would not be due to the irreversible damage of his injuries, but rather that he would fall on the path of charging into battle for the Will of Fire.

But...

He died at the hands of Uchiha Jin!

Why?

Even though Uchiha Shisui was too weak to speak at the time, the message he wanted to convey was accurately transmitted to Uchiha Jin's eyes!

"Why are there so many 'whys'? Does being a saint mean you deserve to die?"

Although he inherited the "Uchiha Filial Son System," a cheat ability that made him the Uchiha's lifelong enemy, it doesn't mean that Uchiha Jin has to follow the cliché of "cutting down any Uchiha he sees."

After all, while becoming the system's host, Jin was also currently wearing the cloak of the Uchiha clan.

It's like a farmer who's disguised as a turkey. Even if he doesn't actually think of himself as a turkey, he can't just watch a crazy turkey on his farm trying to push him and the other turkeys into the abyss of destruction.

That's right!

Uchiha Shisui shouted the slogan of peace very loudly, and his words exuded a sincerity that came from the soul.

But it is precisely because of this that Shisui deserves to die even more!

Politics is inherently a product of mutual compromise!

However, the existence of such an eccentric person as Shisui broke this most basic political rule, ultimately pushing the Uchiha clan into the abyss of annihilation.

That's right!

It was indeed Uchiha Itachi who made the move, a equally brain-dead psychopath and madman.

At this moment, Uchiha Jin couldn't help but recall the science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem" from his past life. In it, there seemed to be a character named Wolf Slayer who destroyed humanity, the Earth, and even the universe with his saintly heart!

If Uchiha Itachi is like Evans from The Three-Body Problem, who wanted to send the Farmer to destroy humanity, then Uchiha Shisui is like Cheng Xin, who abandoned the deterrence plan and pushed humanity to the brink of destruction.

Their greatest commonality is that they share a moral sense that has no basis.

For this so-called saintly figure, not profaning morality is his primary requirement; as for how to truly solve the problem, he simply doesn't know and can't do it...

As for the outcome?

Anyway, I'm heartbroken, I'm innocent, please stop, don't fight anymore...

They never considered that in a zero-sum game, if the sheep are protected in the name of love, the wolf will only starve to death.

Extreme love is inevitably accompanied by extreme cruelty. For example, a mother may risk her life to protect her child, and may not hesitate to kill the enemy when her child is threatened. Hence the saying that a mother is strong.

If you can't stand up for yourself, you'll never be able to protect love and kindness.

Cheng Xin's mistake was that she believed too much in love, believing that all of humanity, and even the entire universe, would abide by the moral standards she thought they were, which ultimately led to humanity missing opportunities to save itself time and time again.

Shisui's biggest mistake was trusting Hiruzen Sarutobi and that empty, nihilistic, and distorted Will of Fire, never once considering things from the Uchiha's perspective.

The Uchiha clan must compromise! The Uchiha clan must back down!

No one has ever considered that under such a 'zero-sum game' rule, if the Uchiha cannot display their sharp claws, then all that awaits them is to silently perish after their edges have been smoothed out.

but!

Things shouldn't have turned out this way; the outcome shouldn't have come to this drastic point!

With the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan and the wonder of Kotoamatsukami, he is fully capable of building a balanced bond between the Hokage and the Uchiha lineage.

Although there may be constant conflicts on the surface, both sides generally maintain a certain degree of restraint, and this dynamic balance is actually beneficial to the entire Konoha.

However, Shisui didn't understand, and even naively thought that doing so was wrong. He still wanted to stand from the village's (Hokage's) perspective and force the Uchiha to back down by controlling Fugaku Uchiha.

Even after being betrayed by Danzo from within the village, he ultimately chose to commit suicide out of cowardice, in order to avoid further escalating the conflict between the village and his clan.

What's even more baffling is that he passed on his empty and twisted Will of Fire to Itachi Uchiha, causing a fool who had already lost his mental struggle due to the war to ultimately create the tragedy of the night of the massacre.

Losing humanity means losing so much!

Lose your animalistic instincts, lose everything!

Recalling Mr. Zhou's famous saying, Uchiha Jin felt no remorse for killing Shisui. In fact, as the elder of the Uchiha clan, he felt a sense of satisfaction for saving the clan.

of course!

As a farmer, Zhishui's plump turkey also celebrated his Thanksgiving...

in this way.

Only a dead Uchiha Shisui was a good Uchiha Shisui!

So even though he knew that Uchiha Shisui was on the verge of death and that even if he was sent to Konoha Hospital, he might not be able to save him, Uchiha Jin still chose to end his life with his own hands.

He doesn't deserve it!

To let Shisui die with that stupid, naive fantasy is simply the greatest mockery of the innocent Uchiha who died in the original work...

Swish!

He casually pulled the kunai from Shisui's chest, and after being bathed in scorching flame chakra, Uchiha Jin instantly tossed it aside.

Hearing the prompts from the system in his mind, Uchiha Jin didn't rush to pay attention. He glanced at the increasingly intense battle not far ahead, then turned to look at the hundreds of figures rushing towards him from behind.

"Stop the water!"

Accompanied by a somewhat immature and terrified voice, Itachi Uchiha's swift figure appeared not far away, and then stumbled and instantly appeared beside Shisui's body. Completely unable to accept that his best friend had died in front of him, two clear tears flowed down his naturally occurring tear troughs.

"Jin, what happened?"

Fugaku Uchiha and Setsuna Uchiha arrived one after another. After all, this place was not too far from the Uchiha clan's territory, and such a big commotion would naturally attract the attention of these local bigwigs.

However, Uchiha Jin still ignored the two of them, his gaze still calmly sweeping over the countless chakra fluctuations rushing towards him in the distance.

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!

It was just a basic C-rank ninjutsu, yet it instantly dispersed the massive fog generated by the battle between the numerous Uchiha and Root members.

The moment the fog completely dissipated, Hiruzen Sarutobi's figure also descended from the sky, crashing heavily onto the eaves of a house before letting out a loud shout.

"Stop! What are you doing now?"

(Hiruzen Sarutobi's inner monologue: Why did I say "again"?)

……

There's a lot I want to say, and I've looked up a bunch of random information. Another chapter will be updated this afternoon; I can't stay up any longer...
