Uchiha Jin was quite curious.
He almost never walked around the Village; only when he attended the Ninja Academy did he occasionally pass through the streets, and even then, he rarely entered any shops.
After graduation, he went straight to the front lines.
Later, because his teammates died in battle, the Village ordered him to return, and he has remained in the Uchiha Clan Compound ever since.
He had no choice!
The Uchiha were hated too much, and he couldn't stand those strange looks.
Perhaps only a simpleton like Obito, before he turned dark, wouldn't care about these things.
Although he occasionally goes to the Hokage Building now, he really hasn't paid much attention to the changing situation on the streets.
Therefore.
Now, learning that the absence of the Police Force had plunged all of Konoha into chaos, genuinely piqued his curiosity.
"Elder Jin, I know about this."
"The cause of this is that everyone has been very busy lately. After all, moving the entire family into our Radical Faction requires packing up not only valuables but also furniture like tables, chairs, and beds, which can't be discarded."
"So, it's very troublesome!"
"To accomplish this quickly, everyone had to take leave using excuses like feeling unwell or having family matters, which quickly strained the Police Force's manpower."
"I was one of those who joined the Radical Faction later, unable to resist my family's constant urging, so I know more about the changes in the Police Force."
"The streets are now completely chaotic. Due to the absence of the Police Force, various local thugs have emerged, and incidents of theft and robbery are frequent."
"Especially since these bastards know the Police Force hasn't been working lately, their methods are much more brazen than before."
"Furthermore, without the Police Force to mediate disputes between vendors and neighbors, the level of chaos in Konoha has skyrocketed."
"Among them, some scoundrels from the major Ninja Clanss are taking advantage of the situation to threaten and entice people, increasing the number of incidents where civilian assets are seized."
"Therefore, the streets now are truly defined by one word—Chaos!"
"Oh, and Elder Jin!"
"My name is Uchiha Kou, and I was previously a member of the Moderate Faction."
"Although I only recently joined the Radical Faction, I highly approve of your governance, and I feel very comfortable here."
"Not only do I not have to worry about being assassinated by Danzo's Root every day, but my family can also sleep peacefully, and under your command, we have repeatedly gained benefits from Konoha."
"Compared to that unreliable Clan Head, Fugaku, your actions have truly given me hope."
"Therefore, from now on, I am willing to offer my loyalty!"
Uchiha Kou's tone was serious.
As he spoke, the others present also voiced their willingness to pledge their loyalty to Uchiha Jin.
Regarding this.
A smile touched the corner of Uchiha Jin's eyes; it would be a lie to say he wasn't happy.
His judgment was indeed sound!
If he had tried to simply persuade these people back then, there would have been no way to unify the Uchiha, as the internal factional disputes were too sharp, exacerbated by the deliberate interference of the Konoha Leadership.
And now?
Simply letting them see some blood, after only a few Uchiha died, was enough to completely wake them up.
Of course.
He still needed to thank two people!
First was Danzo; if it weren't for his assassinations, these people would have been reluctant to defect to him.
Second, was Fugaku!
If this idiot hadn't implemented the 'no resistance' and 'no defense' strategy, the Uchiha of the Moderate Faction and the Moderate Faction would not have completely despaired of Fugaku and ultimately chosen to join his ranks.
"Everyone..."
"Logically, I should be modest, but the Uchiha currently face internal and external troubles, and we must unite as one. Therefore, I will brazenly accept your loyalty."
"However, I must still inform everyone that the Uchiha's situation remains severe."
"Externally, the Hokage High Command is targeting us, especially that old dog Danzo; internally, Clan Head Fugaku and Shisui are holding us back. Therefore, our future actions must remain cautious."
Uchiha Jin's tone was serious.
Yes.
Although his actions seem to be effective for now, managing to tear a piece of flesh from Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth every time.
But, at the same time.
The Uchiha's situation is still very dangerous. Hiruzen Sarutobi is a ruthless character, and since he suffered such a loss this time, that old bastard will definitely retaliate in the future.
Fugaku and Shisui are even harder to deal with!
After all, this is a world where strength is respected. Both of these guys possess the Mangekyo Sharingan, and later there's the ungrateful wretch Itachi nearby, plus that bastard Obito lurking in the shadows.
To say they face internal and external troubles is truly an understatement!
Therefore.
At this moment, Uchiha Jin was genuinely worried.
Although he had already awakened his Mangekyo, it was not the Eternal Mangekyo without side effects. While his Mangekyo could slowly restore its Ocular Power, it still couldn't sustain prolonged, large-scale combat.
Thus, he was truly walking on thin ice.
Although his actions seemed radical, he was actually very cautious internally, daring not to truly push all his enemies into a corner.
Otherwise... Shisui would most likely use Kotoamatsukami on him!
Fugaku is currently hiding his Mangekyo because he doesn't want the Village to be too wary; if they go too far, that old man will likely stop hiding it.
As for—Itachi!
Uchiha Jin isn't too worried about him for now; if Shisui doesn't die, Itachi won't be able to awaken his Mangekyo anytime soon.
When he awakens his Mangekyo, it will also signify the disappearance of Shisui's threat!
The same goes for Obito!
This guy doesn't want to expose himself at this stage. He will only choose to manipulate events from the shadows if Konoha decides to make a direct move or if the Uchiha Clan descends into internal strife.
Therefore.
For now, he cannot push his enemies too hard; everything must be planned carefully and slowly!
As for his parents, who were captured by Root, Uchiha Jin honestly worries about them the least. They are Danzo's bargaining chip against him, and Danzo wouldn't bear to use them up immediately as expendables.
It is not yet time to completely break ties with Root, so even though his heart felt like it was being twisted by knives, his rationality told him he must remain calm.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel intensely angry!
Other transmigrators get a System the moment they arrive, or at the very least, a small cheat ability.
What about him?
Although he does possess a Seven-Story Pagoda Pendant that transmigrated with him, he has tried various methods over the years—such as dripping blood on it and nurturing it with Chakra—yet it still hasn't changed at all.
Damn it.
Surely he doesn't have to wait until he kills the Konoha Leadership and unifies the Ninja world for its power to fully manifest, right?
If he had a System to help him, he would have started a war with the Konoha Leadership long ago, instead of having to plan so meticulously.
"Oh, right, Jin!"
"I've always been confused, why did Hiruzen Sarutobi back down?"
"Couldn't the Anbu temporarily replace the Police Force?"
"Konoha has so many Ninja and so many Ninja Clans; couldn't they just pull together a team to calm down the chaotic Village?"
"Why is he willing to pay such a huge price but still unwilling to let the Anbu intervene? Or perhaps, why not find a new group of people to temporarily take over the Police Force?"
