"The seat to my left is yours; come and sit down quickly."
"Now, only you are missing."
Uchiha Fugaku showed a smile on his face.
Clearly.
Unlike the others, he was slightly closer to Jin.
Even though Jin had not joined his faction, as Itachi's teacher, many things naturally fell into place.
However.
Unlike Fugaku, the other elders were immediately displeased.
"This isn't appropriate, is it?"
"Even if Uchiha Jin is an elder, his prestige is the lowest."
"He hasn't made any contributions to the Clan."
"I disagree!"
"…"
Everyone spoke up.
The entire hall instantly became noisy.
Uchiha Setsuna, who was seated on the right, merely glanced at Uchiha Jin with disdain, then spoke coldly.
"Uchiha Jin, is it?"
"We Uchiha prioritize strength, and the leading seat on the left has been vacant for twenty years because no one was qualified to sit there."
"Not even I am!"
"Do you think you are qualified to sit there?"
His eyes were dark.
The look in his eyes towards Uchiha Jin was filled with anger and disdain.
Yes.
As the leader of the radical faction, he had ordered the cut-off of Jin's pension, the deprivation of his qualification to enter the orphanage, and even the persecution that led to the death of Uchiha Jin's parents.
All of this was ordered by him.
From this perspective, the two were natural enemies.
Even if he couldn't prevent Uchiha Jin from becoming an elder, he had to suppress Uchiha Jin, otherwise, if Uchiha Jin truly gained power, then he, the leader of the radical faction, would be in trouble.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
As Uchiha Setsuna spoke, Uchiha Jin's gaze also turned to him.
Uchiha Setsuna, of course, he knew him.
The guy who caused his tragic childhood and even killed his original body's parents.
When he wasn't strong enough before, he naturally had to endure it.
Later, after the system was bound, he entered the Hidden Mist Battlefield.
With all sorts of troubles combined, and being a transmigrator without much emotional attachment to the original body's parents.
For a time, he had actually forgotten about this guy.
He never thought.
He hadn't even sought him out for reckoning, yet he had actively jumped out again.
Although the timing was not right now, considering Kazama's plan and his own future marriage and children, if he wanted to have his own power, he would still have to rely on Shisui to gather the Uchiha… For now, he couldn't kill him.
At the very least.
He couldn't overtly kill him; he had to find an excuse.
Just like how Uchiha Setsuna caused the death of the original body's parents back then.
But, at the same time.
Giving him a slight lesson was still not a problem.
He acted on the thought!
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly activated his Mangekyo, and instantly, a chillingly cold ocular power swept through the entire room.
The Mangekyo pattern, with an inner yin-yang diagram and outer rhombuses, rotated within his pupils.
Almost instantly.
Inside the noisy room, everyone immediately fell silent.
Feeling this immense ocular power, and truly seeing a Mangekyo for the first time, they immediately disregarded the cold killing intent and began to cheer wildly.
"‖ Mangekyo, it's really Mangekyo!"
"Our Uchiha are saved! I support Jin-kun sitting in that left seat."
"I support it too!"
"…"
Many Uchiha, who had been silently watching the show, now stepped forward to openly support Uchiha Jin.
Yes.
The Uchiha Clan respects the strong.
Before, they had only heard Fugaku say it, and although they didn't dare to refute, their hearts were still pounding.
But, now it was different!
After truly seeing the Mangekyo, countless neutral Uchiha, and even the moderate Uchiha, all began to take sides with Uchiha Jin.
The Mangekyo Sharingan grants that qualification!
Only the radical faction remained silent at this time.
Even though their eyes were filled with fear, and they were even trembling under this pressure.
But, there was no choice!
Because the death of Uchiha Jin's parents was something their radical faction had done; the two sides were already irreconcilable.
Therefore, they could only resist.
"Rokushiki, Iron Body!"
Before anyone else could react, Uchiha Jin directly made his move.
His speed was at its limit; his hardened black right fist slammed Uchiha Setsuna, sending him flying like a broken rag doll, crashing through the wall, and landing heavily on the cold ground in the courtyard.
This was him, having controlled his strength as much as possible.
Otherwise, with that punch, Uchiha Setsuna would have been dead.
After doing all this, Uchiha Jin looked at the completely silent crowd and spoke in a calm tone.
"Uchiha Setsuna? Leader of the radical faction?"
"Heh heh, nothing special!"
"I thought he was much stronger, but I didn't expect him to not even be able to take one of my punches."
"And I haven't even used my Mangekyo yet!"
"…"
Chapter 79: Arrogant and Lawless!
Hiss!
Throughout the entire hall, everyone gasped.
No one had expected that the smiling, normally lazy and easy-going Uchiha Jin would dare to make a move in a place like Nanga Shrine.
It was simply unbelievable.
Everyone's scalp tingled, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say.
Especially Uchiha Tekka.
As someone qualified to participate in the Clan meeting and responsible for Clan patrols, he was actually the most familiar with Uchiha's personality.
Extremely lazy, just a laid-back slacker.
He didn't resemble an Uchiha at all, but rather a Nara.
But, he was wrong!
