Chapter 81 Ordinary Villagers!
Red Sunset!
She is one of the few female Jonin in Konoha, and her mastery of genjutsu is unmatched by ordinary people.
After completely binding his opponent both physically and mentally (using genjutsu), Uchiha Jin finally had the mind to examine Kurenai Yuhi before him.
With her black curly hair, deep red eyes, and signature white bandage dress, along with her arrogant pronouncements, she certainly has some strength and substance. No wonder she can make the son of the Hokage become such a sycophant.
In the original work, he encountered Itachi Uchiha as soon as he appeared, which completely rendered his proud genjutsu ineffective, and he was brutally defeated before he could even show his prowess.
The final outcome in this life was no different, and it could even be said that the end was more tragic, after all, Uchiha Jin was not like Uchiha Itachi who was holding back.
If illusion magic is a perfect exam, then the Sunset Clan, with its excellent heritage and talent, has a chance to get a perfect score after giving it their all.
However, for the Uchiha clan who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, the reason they received a perfect score was simply because the exam only had a perfect score...
at this point.
Given Kurenai's perceptive abilities, it's impossible that she wouldn't be aware of this.
"you……"
Feeling Uchiha Jin's unrestrained scrutinizing gaze and hearing his shameful words, Kurenai Yuhi was both shocked and furious.
However, the genjutsu that bound her at this moment made Kurenai Yuhi realize to her horror that her former pride was as fragile as a piece of wet paper in front of Uchiha Jin!
At this moment, Kurenai Yuhi finally understood why her father, Shinku Yuhi, had so admired, longed for, and yearned for the Uchiha clan's mastery of genjutsu when he was young.
"red!"
Even though Asuma was covered in wounds, seeing the person he loved being treated like this, and the pain and disappointment on their face, still moved him.
Asuma, who naturally has a simp-like nature, inexplicably felt a surge of power and forced himself to stick out one hand, attempting to get up and save his goddess.
However, Uchiha Jin had no patience for any melodramatic soap opera. He casually kicked a pebble, causing Asuma, who had barely managed to get up, to fall flat on his face again.
"So this is the weak and cowardly Twelve Guardian Ninja? I've certainly learned something new today!"
Uchiha Jin's eyes were full of disdain. He grabbed Kurenai Yuhi's bandaged collar and walked step by step toward Asuma and the other Anbu members who were lying on the ground.
Uchiha Jin had a good time today, but if Asuma dares to be ungrateful, he wouldn't mind showing him what cruelty is.
Once again, Uchiha Jin stomped his size 42 foot on Asuma's face, his tone both mocking and disdainful.
"You're no good at arguing, and you're even worse at fighting. I really don't know who gave you the courage to stand in front of me."
"Does anyone still want to question me now?!"
"you……"
Feeling the goddess's pitying gaze and helpless expression, Asuma desperately tried to resist, but he was powerless to break free.
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
Sarutobi Asuma's eyes were filled with resentment and venom. If possible, he would have been willing to pay any price, but even that possibility was impossible...
"stop!"
Just as Sarutobi Asuma was filled with despair, a voice that was both familiar and delightful suddenly rang out.
"Father... um..."
Sarutobi Asuma had never felt such joy at the arrival of his father. He struggled and tried to shout, but was once again pressed to death in the mud.
"What on earth is going on? What are you doing, Uchiha Jin?"
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve started to get used to it, but the word “again” in Hiruzen Sarutobi’s words sounded particularly smooth this time.
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who thought he had prepared himself mentally and believed he could remain calm, suddenly broke down when his calm gaze fell on the familiar figure being crushed on the ground.
"Asuma!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi cried out in surprise, his figure appearing in an instant, ready to rush forward to save the person.
however……
When they were only four or five meters away, Uchiha Jin's kick, delivered without the slightest hesitation, caused Sarutobi Hiruzen to abruptly stop in his tracks.
"Uchiha Jin, what do you want to do? If you have a problem, come at me!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were filled with apprehension. Sensing that his beloved son's life was threatened, even he, who was usually indecisive, suddenly became decisive.
Uchiha Jin didn't care at all, and continued to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly until that familiar look of restraint appeared, at which point he sneered disdainfully.
Coward!
Even if anger can temporarily cloud reason, as long as things haven't reached a dead end, one can't help but start to weigh the gains and losses.
Uchiha Jin could sense that fleeting determination, but after Hiruzen Sarutobi subconsciously glanced at the person beside him, that resolve vanished without a trace.
Even if the Reaper Death Seal is used to defeat Uchiha Jin, what will become of Konoha without its leader?
With concerns about Fugaku Uchiha, a Mangekyou Sharingan user, and Itachi Uchiha, a double agent with whom he hadn't had a chance to get to know better, Hiruzen Sarutobi was filled with mixed emotions.
"Let's talk this out!"
Compromise can be addictive, and once you get used to it, the only way to rise again might be on the day you die, when you're forced to revert to your former resoluteness...
That's it? Ren Xiong?
Ninja Bear!
Uchiha Jin's face was full of disdain. He glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi with contempt before speaking arrogantly.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, an ordinary villager from Konoha, is currently on a mission for the police department here. Anyone like you who's just passing through can get lost!"
"you……"
Seeing that Uchiha Jin was showing no respect, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned bright red.
Despite having cultivated his inner strength for decades, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness when considering the current situation between Konoha and the Uchiha clan.
Having long been accustomed to Danzo taking the blame and charging ahead, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a sense of loss at this moment and subconsciously glanced at Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, who had accompanied him.
While Uchiha Jin's blatant denial of his title as Hokage was certainly hateful, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not want to start a major conflict with the Uchiha over a few words before he was fully prepared.
Besides, although such a thing is embarrassing, face is hardly the primary concern for politicians.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were also slightly taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen's empty left hand.
yes……
Danzo is no longer around!
The two instantly understood each other and slowly stepped forward hand in hand. Taking advantage of their old age, they tried to force their way in front of Uchiha Jin, while also adopting a peacemaker's stance and agreeing with him.
"Let's talk things out. We're all part of the village..."
