Two o'clock in the morning.
The gathering finally ended, and everyone was excited as they left, looking ready to take on the world.
Meanwhile,
Uchiha Jin came to his parents' room. His parents were clearly not resting, as the dark experience of being caught by the Anbu couldn't be quickly erased in a day or two.
"Jin, Mom finally sees you."
"I've heard from the clan members about what you did. You've really suffered a lot, my child, during this time."
"You must be tired, quickly sit down."
Uchiha Keiko in the room was a beautiful woman around thirty years old. Due to constant ninja training, her figure and skin were no less impressive than a young girl's.
The moment she saw Uchiha Jin, her eyes instantly turned red.
And, on the other side.
Uchiha Jin's father, Uchiha Tianyi, was also around thirty years old, practically in his prime. Unlike his mother, his father was one of the Uchiha Jonin.
Looking at his son who had just entered, his eyes were also extremely complex!
Clearly,
His parents hadn't expected their son to be so powerful.
Not only did he awaken his own Mangekyo, but he also brought the entire Uchiha under his control, to the point where even the clan head had to listen to their son.
Honestly... even now, they still couldn't believe it.
Because in their eyes, their son had always been quiet since childhood, had no friends inside or outside the clan, and his strength was quite ordinary. They found it incredible that he even survived the Third Great Ninja War.
But, they never expected.
He would give them such a big surprise!
"Don't worry, I'm fine!"
"You won't blame me, will you, for taking so long to rescue you."
Uchiha Jin's voice was a little hoarse. Although he had his own reasons, what he did was indeed not very good.
He could say he was wary of the Konoha Leadership and had to create a persona of 'not caring about his parents', but as a child, it was indeed a bit... but.
Uchiha Tianyi patted his shoulder: "You've actually done well enough. I've heard the details from the clan members. Your mom and dad are proud of you."
"Yes, Jin!" Uchiha Keiko said with a smile, "Don't feel pressured."
"Mom and Dad will support you. Actually, we didn't understand your thoughts before, always thinking you didn't want to play with other children. Now we realize you might have seen through everything a long time ago."
"But when you're busy with work, remember to consider your private life. It's best to find a girlfriend quickly."
"Mom and Dad are waiting to hold their grandchild!"
Almost instantly.
Uchiha Jin's face instantly became awkward upon hearing this.
He really didn't expect that even after changing worlds, he would still encounter pressure to marry.
So,
He instantly didn't want to chat with his parents, found an excuse for them to rest early, and then ran back to his own room.
This kind of thing was too terrifying!
He didn't want to consider such matters in the short term, as the struggle with the Konoha Leadership was ongoing, and he didn't want to add another weakness.
He was too lazy to explain to his parents, knowing that explanations were useless.
Even though his parents weren't old, they couldn't communicate on such matters... The next morning, bright and early.
Kakashi, with his dead fish eyes, put on his Anbu mask again. After the team rendezvoused, they headed to the Anbu building.
The three members of the squad looked numb.
They hadn't participated in last night's events, as they belonged to the Anbu Fifth Division.
Furthermore,
They had been tormented by the villagers every day recently, so they were exhausted and went straight to sleep after work.
Therefore,
Many in their Fifth Division were actually not too aware of the secret confrontation last night.
Of course.
Kakashi must have noticed!
However, with the truth of his father's death revealed, although he temporarily had no interest in seeking so-called revenge, the problem was he also didn't want to help Hiruzen Sarutobi anymore.
So,
He simply chose to pretend not to know about the confrontation between the Konoha Leadership and the Uchiha!
Now, he only focused on work.
But, the problem was... he really didn't want to deal with the villagers' ridiculous messes. He had applied several times to switch to other tasks, and was even willing to take on dangerous missions.
But, unfortunately.
His application report was directly rejected by the Hokage Office!
"Kakashi, I'm about to collapse!"
"I really don't want to do these missions anymore. Do you think we Anbu can resign?"
"I really don't want to do this anymore!"
Yamato followed behind Kakashi, unable to help but complain.
Yes!
He felt that his past experiences in Root were simply child's play compared to the current messes in the Police Force, alright?
And, in response.
Kakashi rolled his eyes, shrugged, and said calmly: "Everyone in our First Division wants to resign. If Hokage-sama agreed to all of them, the entire Village would fall into complete chaos."
"So, just bear with it."
"What you're thinking of is absolutely impossible!"
Kakashi saw things very clearly; Konoha had actually dug its own grave.
In fact, other ninja Villages didn't even have a Police Force.
Konoha was an exception!
The Second Hokage created this department specifically to scheme against the Uchiha.
On one hand, he allowed Konoha villagers to freely discuss the Will of Fire, while on the other hand, he strictly demanded the Uchiha, thereby deliberately isolating them.
Now what?
The Uchiha chose not to play along, and the Village High Command was instantly in a difficult position!
What to do?
After so many years of indulgence, the villagers had long been spoiled into a group of unruly citizens. They couldn't possibly expect these unruly Konoha citizens to instantly transform back into gentle, obedient people, could they?
If that were the case, would the Will of Fire still be necessary?
So, there was no choice!
Until the Village High Command found a solution, they, the Anbu, could only endure as much as possible.
Suddenly.
Just then, the three walking individuals suddenly heard a conversation.
"Did you hear? That Hatake Kakashi!"
"What, new rumors again?"
Kakashi narrowed his eyes.
Yamato and the other Anbu's eyes also began to look complex.
The three of them were good friends in private, so upon hearing new gossip, and seeing that it involved Kakashi again, they were naturally very worried about their comrade.
"Kakashi, you..." Yamato tried to speak.
But, unfortunately.
Before Yamato could finish, Kakashi stopped him: "Don't worry, I'm calm!"
"But I must hear this rumor, at least to be mentally prepared in advance."
Yes.
Regarding the rumors about his father, Sakumo Hatake, after a period of contemplation, he had actually slowly started to let go.
No choice!
He was just an ordinary elite Jonin; could he really contend with the entire Village High Command?
As for joining the Uchiha faction? He only thought about it briefly before choosing to give up!
Because the Uchiha, they were unstable!
Would it really lead to a civil war, causing the Village to completely fall apart?
No!
He still cared about the Village and didn't want Konoha to be completely destroyed.
And, on the other side.
Just as Kakashi was deep in thought, the new rumor reached his ears.
"I heard that Kakashi said something quite surprising when he was paying respects to his father, Sakumo Hatake."
"After Kakashi learned the truth a few days ago, he knelt at his father's grave and said: 'Father, my abilities are insufficient, and your enemies are too strong!'
"If I don't avenge this, I truly have no face to see you, so..."
"Kakashi pulled out his father's White Fang short sword, fiercely tore a piece off his sleeve, and then stood up, calmly saying."
"Today, I sever our father-son relationship. For this patricide, please seek a more capable person."
"Farewell!"
