Mangekyou Awakened: Konoha’s Future in My Hands Chapter 78: The Ninja Clans Pledge Allegiance; Shisui and It

The only one who remained calm was Nara Shikaku.

However.

He did not speak at the mont, instead wanting to see what Uchiha Jin, the leader, was thinking.

Uchiha Jin did not disappoint him. After waving his hand to calm everyone down, he spoke in a very composed tone.

"Everyone, don't panic!"

"Now is not the ti for a formal war. After all, the Village high-level officials still possess a lot of strength."

"I hope to take over a relatively complete Konoha. After all, due to Hiruzen Sarutobi's ddling over the years, Senju Nawaki, Kato Dan, Sakumo Hatake, Minato Namikaze, and others..."

"So many powerful figures are gone. Even Tsunade left the Village, Jiraiya only returns for major events, and even Orochimaru was forced away."

"Speaking of this, I just want to scoff."

"Orochimaru, a person from a civilian background, where did he get so much equipnt and instrunts? Where did he get Hashirama cells and experintal materials? It's not like he went out every day to capture test subjects, right?"

"Moreover, the equipnt needed for scientific research is too large; Storage Scrolls definitely cannot hold it all. Has the entire Anbu been blind all these years?"

"Now that the truth is out and can't be hidden, they're letting Orochimaru, a re hired hand, take the bla!"

"It's no wonder Three Legendary Sannin of Konoha have beco estranged from Hiruzen Sarutobi. But these matters don't concern us much. In short, I hope everyone remains calm for now, as the Village's strength cannot be wasted on internal conflict."

"After all, the peace treaty between Konoha and Kumogakure hasn't been signed yet, and other Shinobi Villages are eyeing Konoha covetously. Valuable strength cannot be wasted on useless internal strife."

"Furthermore, everyone, there is no need to worry."

"We have Elder Danzo helping us; sooner or later, he will force everyone else into our camp."

"Therefore, for now."

"For our Elder Danzo, let's toast with tea instead of wine!"

After speaking.

Uchiha Jin raised his teacup, and the others also raised theirs.

However, the expressions of everyone present were extrely complicated.

Holy cow!

Danzo, that maniac, has actually beco one of us?

But, that makes sense!

Now, as countless Ninja Clans join the Uchiha, the fighting power on the Village high-level officials' side is dwindling, especially Root, which was crushed by Uchiha Jin. To quickly restore their fighting power, they can only resort to internal exploitation.

And this behavior from Root will only cause further estrangent internally.

Looking at it this way, there's no need to rush. Everyone just needs to wait and see, quietly waiting for the Village high-level officials to collapse.

Imdiately after.

The eting ended perfectly. The major Ninja Clans stood up and left, but only the leaders of each Ninja Clan remained.

Uchiha Jin invited everyone into the conference room and began discussing the reorganization of clan territory defenses and the reallocation of Ninja Clan squads.

After all... if they want the newly joined Ninja Clans to truly integrate into the current Uchiha, and maximize their strength, this step must be taken.

Suddenly.

Just then, an Uchiha walked in: "Elder Jin, a group of Ino–Shika–Chō has co to pledge allegiance."

"A total of fifteen Jonin and thirty-six Elite Chunin!"

Uchiha Jin, who had long known about Danzo's dark thods from other Ninja Clans, instantly understood that this was Danzo's conscription of the Ino–Shika–Chō. And now, this entire group had defected directly to the Uchiha?

It seems... this is Nara Shikaku's doing!

He pondered for a mont and then said directly: "Send them to our Ino–Shika–Chō clan territory for now. After the eting, I will let you all return to handle them."

"How about that?"

After speaking.

He looked toward Nara Shikaku.

And regarding this.

Nara Shikaku and the other two exchanged glances, and naturally had no objections.

Afterward, the eting continued!

They discussed until noon, twelve o'clock. After settling all matters, Uchiha Jin treated everyone to a al before allowing them to leave his compound.

One o'clock in the afternoon.

Uchiha Jin sat in the tearoom, holding a teacup, enjoying Uchiha Yue's shoulder massage, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"This kind of tireso business is exhausting!"

"But the overall situation is quite good. I'd like to see how the Village high-level officials respond next."

"Wait and see, control the situation through stillness."

Uchiha Jin muttered to himself.

Suddenly.

He thought of Shisui and Itachi, whom he had seen among the crowd earlier today.

Yes!

Both of them had co today, but what surprised him was that neither of them spoke; they simply watched quietly.

This surprised Uchiha Jin, though he could roughly guess the reason.

The joining of so many Ninja Clans caused a slight breakdown in their mindset.

They were exposed to the orthodox Will of Fire education, so they knew that the person supported by the masses is the Hokage. Without the support of the masses, could Hiruzen Sarutobi still be trusted as before?

anwhile, on the other side.

Uchiha Yue, hearing these words, had no intention of interjecting; she just quietly attended to Uchiha Jin.

Her self-positioning was very clear: she was Uchiha Jin's maidservant, and aside from Uchiha Jin's instructions, she would not interfere in any other matters.

However, the look in her eyes toward Uchiha Jin was becoming increasingly passionate.

There's no helping it!

The Uchiha inherently worship strength, and Uchiha Jin is the strongest in the clan, both in power and intellect!

...At Fugaku's house.

Uchiha Fugaku was busy working. Clearly, his actions against Shisui and Itachi last ti had regained Uchiha Jin's trust, so naturally, he now had his own work to do.

Of course.

Although he still carried the title of Clan Head, his actions were more like those of an Uchiha Elder!

In the living room.

Shisui and Itachi sat facing each other, both wearing complicated expressions.

Clearly, the stance taken by the major Ninja Clans today had completely shaken the two of them.

Good heavens!

These Ninja Clans were more terrifying than the Radical Faction within the clan before. If it were just the Uchiha acting so wildly, they would simply consider it an internal Uchiha problem.

But now?

The major Ninja Clans are all choosing to eliminate Hiruzen Sarutobi, which forced them to wonder: Did Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage-sama, really commit acts that incurred divine wrath and popular indignation?

So... is he a bad person?

The atmosphere in the living room was heavy.

After a long while.

Shisui couldn't help but ask, "Itachi, what do you think?"

"I don't know!" Itachi felt a headache coming on.

After all, the education they received always told them that the Hokage could do no wrong—this was the Hokage whom everyone trusted, recognized, and elected.

But whether it was the casual chat with Akimichi Keita last ti, or the declarations made by the Ninja Clans today, they both gave them a feeling that their faith was shattering.

Finally.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.

After a mont of wry laughter, Shisui said calmly, "Let's continue to observe. For now, we will choose not to help either side."

"If Hokage-sama—oh no!" Itachi's tone was heavy, and he asked directly, "If Hiruzen Sarutobi truly is a bad person, and he deliberately intends to destroy us Uchiha..."

"Shisui, what would you do?"

In response.

Shisui didn't hesitate: "I'd kill him!"

Yes!

Unlike Uchiha Itachi, Shisui cared about his clan mbers; he had simply been deceived by the Village before.

So, for now.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi really had malicious intentions, Shisui would genuinely be willing to act himself!

Itachi fell silent. After thinking for a long ti, he slowly nodded.

"Alright, I understand!"

"If that ti cos, I will also act myself!"
