Naruto: Accidentally Unlocking a Fantasy Era

Page 27

As Jin opened the door and stepped into the house, he saw a figure he didn't want to see sitting upright at the coffee table in the reception area.

What a disappointment.

"Young clan leader is really free, he actually has time to come and find a nobody like me."

Upon seeing the person who suddenly appeared, Jin immediately began to mock him.

Who else but Fugaku Uchiha could have entered his house without making a sound?

"Next time, could you please not break into an empty house? If people know, it's fine, but if they don't, they'll think it's a thief."

Do they really think his door is just for show?

Fugaku Uchiha remained calm, his expression unaffected by Kin's taunts, and he waited until Kin finished spewing his trash talk before speaking.

"I heard you were taken in as a disciple by Jiraiya-sama?"

Jin gave a cold laugh.

"You already know, my current status is not necessarily much weaker than yours, young clan leader."

Jiraiya's disciple status appears to grant him no special privileges on the surface, but in reality, everything is kept hidden.

The direct line of ninjas is no joke.

This also represents the ticket to becoming Hokage.

Unfortunately, his surname is Uchiha.

"You actually got accepted as a disciple by Jiraiya-sama."

Fugaku Uchiha's voice trembled; he still couldn't believe it.

how many years.

Since the death of Kagami Uchiha, no one from the Uchiha clan has been able to enter the Hokage system.

This completely removed the Uchiha clan from Konoha's leadership and gradually made them a target.

But the Uchiha clan often produces geniuses, so it's not surprising that some disciples are taken back.

But why this good-for-nothing who brought shame to the Uchiha clan?

Fugaku looked at Kin with a complicated expression.

He could accept anyone from the Uchiha clan, but he just couldn't accept Jin's comeback.

After all, Uchiha Kin was like a stain on the Uchiha emblem.

If he couldn't accept it, then no one else could.

He could imagine the upheaval that would engulf the clan.

"The facts are here."

Kim sat down at the other end of the table, propping his chin up with his hand and looking at Fugaku.

"What? Is my being Jiraiya's student getting in your way? If you're so capable, go and complain to Konoha. Don't come looking for trouble with me."

Fugaku looked down on him, and he looked down on Fugaku.

Why invite trouble upon yourself?

"Young clan leader," Jin said sarcastically.

Fugaku fell silent. He didn't care about being scolded as long as his clan could return to the center of Konoha.

The fact that the central figure is Uchiha Kin makes things very complicated.

Fugaku fell silent, and neither did Kim; they simply stared at each other, wide-eyed.

It all depends on who can hold on.

In the end, it was Fugaku who couldn't hold on any longer.

"The elders want to see you."

"when."

"Now."

Jin frowned. He had never met these Uchiha elders before, so he wouldn't comment on them.

But someone who could make Fugaku the clan leader must not be very smart.

He hadn't expected that being a direct descendant of the Hokage would elicit such a strong stress response from the current Uchiha clan.

This is before they've been forced into the same situation as in later generations.

"Then lead the way."

Jin raised his head.

These elders will eventually need to be met.

Hopefully, it won't turn out the way he expected.

They're all a bunch of idiots.

Nanga Shrine.

The pillars of flame ignited the fires on either side, illuminating several elderly men sitting in chairs.

The raging flames obscured their faces.

All that could be seen were their bloodshot pupils, with three tomoe spinning back and forth.

The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

Kim stood in the middle, being watched by them.

The pressure from that sharp gaze was even greater than that from Orochimaru, but it lacked killing intent and instead failed to suppress his actions.

The old man standing at the front spoke.

"Uchiha Kin, you haven't awakened your Sharingan by the age of twelve?"

Jin endured the pressure and responded with an indifferent attitude.

"How could something like that be so easy to open?"

The Sharingan typically awakens between the ages of twelve and sixteen.

After the age of sixteen, the possibility of opening one's eyes is basically eliminated.

The earlier one's eyes open, the better their aptitude.

If someone awakens their Sharingan before the age of twelve, they are a genius of the Uchiha clan.

No other talent could compare to the Sharingan for the Uchiha clan.

"How dare you!" the elder beside him shouted angrily.

That's the Uchiha's bloodline limit, not some random thing.

Jin ignored him and just looked at the person in the main seat in front of him.

Everyone else is just there to make up the numbers; the person in front of you has to be the one in charge.

The First Elder, Uchiha Kakuno.

He was an old man who survived the Warring States period, and even managed to protect himself during the rebellion that the Uchiha clan once launched, eventually seizing the greatest power within the Uchiha clan.

I heard all of this from other Uchiha.

The Uchiha clan no longer has a clan leader. He doesn't know why the clan leader died, but he does know that Fugaku was already designated as the next clan leader from birth.

Let alone Konoha, the Uchiha clan is no different.

The succession is all predetermined.

"Alright." Huo He stopped the Third Elder from continuing to berate Jin.

His crimson Sharingan calmly gazed at Kim.

"Uchiha Kin, I hope that for the sake of the Uchiha clan, you will monitor the movements of the Hokage's faction."

The death of Uchiha Kagami is shrouded in suspicion, and the Fire Core also distrusts the higher-ups of Konoha.

unless.

The Uchiha clan produced a Hokage.

As for Uchiha Kin, he is a stain on the Uchiha clan.

He doesn't deserve it.

"I refuse!" Jin refused without even thinking. This kind of thankless task would ultimately bring bad luck to everyone involved.

Uchiha knew about the Hokage's movements, but he also lost the Hokage's trust.
