Chapter 52 - Chapter 52: The Despairing Shisui and Itachi, Uchiha Jin Steps into the Trap!

Uchiha Jin's eyes flickered.

Just as he was pondering these thoughts, he saw Fugaku return with the two unlucky children.

"Elder Jin!"

"Fugaku, what is this...?"

Looking at the blind Shisui and the resentful Itachi before him, he genuinely felt somewhat surprised.

Yes!

He didn't expect Fugaku to be so resolute, directly gouging out Shisui's eyes?

Good heavens!

Is this still the weak, hesitant Fugaku?

Fugaku's expression was very calm: "There are some things Jin finds inconvenient to do, but I, as the clan head, am not among them. Since I am the Uchiha clan head, I have the right to discipline all Uchiha."

"Ever since I saw Hiruzen Sarutobi's ugly face, I've grown to hate the mistakes I made before. What's happening now can only be considered my atonement."

He sighed repeatedly.

Uchiha Jin, hearing this, couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

It seems the last time he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi's true colors, it truly had a huge impact on Fugaku's worldview, turning the timid Fugaku into an irritable man.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, upon learning of this, would probably cry himself unconscious in the restroom!

"Alright, that's good too!"

"It can be considered Shisui's good luck; although his Sharingan was gouged out, at least his life is saved."

"Temporarily hand them both over to Elder Amano, and then you also go to the Root Base to assist Elder Hachidai."

"After I clash with Danzo, we'll immediately raid the Root Base!"

Uchiha Jin's tone was serious.

Since Shisui and Itachi's Chakra had been sealed, and Shisui's eyes had been gouged out, he naturally spoke much more freely.

Fugaku naturally had no objection, but the blind Shisui couldn't help but ask: "Jin, what do you intend to do?"

Itachi's face also changed drastically, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Neither of them had expected that what was clearly a trap set by Danzo for Uchiha Jin seemed to conceal other plans by Uchiha Jin.

And, regarding this.

Uchiha Jin's tone was casual.

"My parents are in Danzo's hands. Do you think I couldn't guess that the Village would use this to set a trap for me?"

"So, the question is!"

"Why didn't I rescue my parents beforehand? Why did I deliberately leave this flaw?"

"Shisui, you're too naive!"

"It's a good thing your eyes were confiscated. Stay in the clan compound for a while and think it over."

"Let's go!"

After speaking.

Uchiha Jin patted Shisui's shoulder, then smiled and headed towards the trap laid by Danzo.

Fugaku's eyes were deep.

He sped up and handed the two over to Elder Amano.

And, regarding this.

Looking at the blind Shisui and Itachi, whose Chakra was sealed, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"It's all Uchiha power, and now not only can't they use it, they even have to help the Village deal with their own kind."

"Sealing them is probably for the best!"

"At least it's better than dying. Leave this matter to me, Fugaku, go and do what you need to do."

Uchiha Amano's tone was very despondent.

Yes.

If both Shisui and Itachi were willing to help the clan, the Uchiha's rise would be faster, and Jin would have fewer worries.

But, unfortunately.

Shisui and Itachi were too stubborn, so a temporary sealing was also a good thing!

However... he was increasingly satisfied with Fugaku's ability to prioritize justice over family, taking such direct action this time.

It must be said.

Although Fugaku wasn't a good clan head, if he wasn't in that position, he was an excellent Uchiha warrior!

"Elder Amano, you've gone to great lengths."

Fugaku bowed slightly, then turned and left.

His eyes no longer held confusion or hesitation, only intimidating coldness and battle intent that soared to the heavens.

Isn't it just — killing people?

Perhaps he was timid when handling clan affairs, making one mistake after another due to overthinking, but when it came to killing, he would not hesitate. Otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the title 'Fugaku of the Fierce Eyes' on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Compared to the Uchiha's soaring battle intent, Shisui and Itachi's hearts instantly plummeted to rock bottom.

It's over!

Elder Danzo's so-called killing trap this time had been within Uchiha Jin's calculations from the very beginning. It seemed Uchiha Jin intended to scheme something during this opportunity.

They wanted to go to the Hokage Office to report this major event, so the Village could prepare in advance.

However.

Considering their current predicament, besides a sigh, they naturally had no other thoughts.

"Shisui, Itachi!"

"You two don't need to think too much; just stay honestly in the clan compound for now."

"The sealing jutsu Fugaku used to seal your Chakra is the Four Symbols Seal from the Uzumaki clan. Back then, Mikoto and Kushina had a good personal friendship, and this was Kushina's birthday gift to Mikoto."

"Among the current Uchiha, only Fugaku has mastered this sealing jutsu."

"And the key to this sealing jutsu is not fixed; each person who uses the seal has a different key. Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi can use the Four Symbols Seal, if he doesn't have the key in Fugaku's possession, even he can't undo this seal."

"So, don't cause trouble for me. Just be ordinary people for a while."

Uchiha Amano's tone was peculiar.

Yes!

He suddenly realized that besides being a bad clan head, Fugaku was truly a genius in other aspects.

Not only did he awaken his Mangekyo early, but his combat power was also acknowledged by enemy Villages, earning him the title 'Fugaku of the Fierce Eyes.' He even had great talent in sealing jutsu... In short, as long as he wasn't the clan head, he was an excellent talent within the clan!

Back then.

Perhaps everyone really thought wrong. Fugaku truly isn't suited to be clan head!

Itachi: "..."

Shisui: "..."

Hearing this, both of their faces turned grim.

Uchiha Amano's words had completely shattered their illusions.

Even if they had grand ambitions and dreams, from this moment on, they were utterly finished.

Where the Uchiha would head in the future, it seemed it could only be left to Uchiha Jin.

Besides silently praying in their hearts, they seemingly had no other options... Outside Konoha, in the Forest of Death.

Uchiha Jin was not in a hurry, instead walking leisurely, even having the mood to admire the scenery along the way.

Even though it was deep night now, and the surroundings were pitch black with no scenery whatsoever.

However... he still maintained the demeanor of a supreme expert, unhurriedly entering Danzo's trap.

Looking around, there were crowds of people.

At the very front was a large group of Rōnin and various Rogue Ninja from different Villages, followed by masked Anbu, and finally, Danzo and his core subordinates.

"Danzo, begin!"

Uchiha Jin stood there indifferently, arms crossed, his eyes full of disdain and mockery.

"Move out!"

Danzo, in response, narrowed his eyes slightly.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the Anbu elites hidden in the four corners appeared directly and began to form hand signs.

'Ten - Monkey - Snake - Rabbit - Tiger'

'Four Violet Flames Formation!'
