Uchiha Jin, full of domineering aura!
Did he really think that relying on the 'Three Legendary Sannin of Konoha' reputation, he would have to back down?
He was overthinking it!
Even if Tsunade came, he still wouldn't show respect.
What the hell?
Just as he said, the Uchiha don't owe Konoha; on the contrary, Konoha owes the Uchiha a lot.
Jiraiya's current rhetoric might move that fool Fugaku, but it was completely ineffective on Uchiha Jin!
Can't win an argument, so you just stop talking?
Good grief!
I'm talking to you about compensation and an apology, and you're spouting about the Will of Fire; I say Hiruzen Sarutobi's ascension was problematic and his hands aren't clean, so where's the Will of Fire, and you threaten to fight me?
And you say—you don't want to talk about the past!
Why don't you want to talk? Did I give you permission?
Since you're choosing to act like a thug with me, then don't blame Uchiha Jin for not playing by the rules.
It's also fortunate that Uchiha Jin doesn't have an Eternal Mangekyo; he also fears the Ashura Chakra within Uzumaki Naruto, worried about killing Uzumaki Naruto and drawing out the Six Paths Sage hidden in the shadows; and even more so, he fears Konoha suffering too many losses and being unable to defend the Land of Fire.
Crushing Konoha is indeed easy, but the Ninja World's pattern is already set, and he still has to consider the survival of his clan afterward.
A single Uchiha, without an Eternal Mangekyo and without Konoha's protection, would find it almost impossible to withstand external threats.
Otherwise... do you think he wants to talk?
He would have controlled the Nine-Tailed and launched a barrage of Tailed Beast Balls at Konoha long ago!
"U! CHI! HA! JIN!"
"Do you have any Will of Fire left? Is that kind of threat something you can just casually say?"
"You're asking for death!"
Jiraiya's anger erupted.
For the first time, killing intent flickered in his eyes, clearly enraged by Uchiha Jin's shamelessness.
For him, Konoha was paramount.
He absolutely would not allow anyone to destroy it; even Tsunade in the original story almost provoked Jiraiya's killing intent.
Therefore.
Towards Uchiha Jin before him, he lost his former gentleness and was now genuinely prepared to act.
However, unfortunately.
Uchiha Jin's face was full of mockery, and the corner of his mouth, as he stood with his arms crossed, was filled with disdain.
"Hmph, angry?"
"What right do you, Jiraiya, have to be angry? What the hell are you?"
"Do you really think I, Uchiha Jin, would be afraid of you, 'Three Legendary Sannin of Konoha'?"
"You're the one who came to talk about peace, asking you to compensate the Uchiha for their losses, publicly apologize, and execute Danzo, which you couldn't do. Instead, you turn around and talk to me about some damned Will of Fire, telling me, the Uchiha, to put everything aside and prioritize the Village."
"You want to talk about the Will of Fire, then I'll argue with you about the legitimacy of Hiruzen Sarutobi's ascension."
"Then you're saying too much time has passed, and now you don't want to talk about it with me, and you even say we're all Ninja so let's just fight?"
"What? Is the Uchiha easy to bully?"
"If I were to kill the Sarutobi Clan now and kill your grand-disciple Uzumaki Naruto, would you then be able to forgive us Uchiha for the sake of the Will of Fire, for the greater good?"
"I'm telling you, Jiraiya, I despise people like you the most!"
"When others bully us Uchiha, we Uchiha must be magnanimous, we must choose to forgive them."
"Now, when it's our turn, the Uchiha, to make the first move, or rather, when we Uchiha passively retaliate after you've chosen to make the first move, you can't handle it."
"Pah, what a joke!"
"You hypocrite, get lost!"
"If you truly infuriate me, I'll go find Uzumaki Naruto right now and use the Nine-Tailed to launch a barrage of Tailed Beast Balls at Konoha!"
"Don't forget, I have a Mangekyo!"
"What that mysterious person on the Night of the Nine-Tails could do, I, Uchiha Jin, can also control the Nine-Tailed!"
Uchiha Jin, completely unconcerned.
Did he really think that just because Jiraiya was angry, he should be afraid?
Almost, in an instant.
He spoke all his thoughts, because playing the open game, he wasn't afraid of others knowing in advance. He just used the most vicious words to let Jiraiya know that he was not to be trifled with.
Jiraiya: "..."
At this moment, he was utterly shocked.
Looking at Uchiha Jin, who was even more furious than himself, he honestly felt a bit scared.
At this moment, he truly understood.
No wonder his teacher called him back; with the ferocity Uchiha Jin displayed, the Village was practically standing on a powder keg, and any spark could lead to a civil war in the Village!
However.
He still couldn't help but ask, "How do you know the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is Uzumaki Naruto?"
"Jiraiya, you're really stupid!" Uchiha Jin said with a mocking face, "You should be asking, who in the Village doesn't know?"
"The Village higher-ups have explicitly stated that Uzumaki Naruto is a demon fox, and even the common people know!"
"Besides the Nine-Tailed, do we have any other demon foxes in Konoha?"
"Alright, get lost!"
"I really don't want to see you. A guy who can't even protect his own disciple, and doesn't care about his grand-disciple's life or death, still has the nerve to talk to me about some bullshit Will of Fire?"
"How ridiculous!"
"Yue, show him out!"
After speaking.
Uchiha Jin stood up elegantly and went directly to the backyard.
Evidently.
He was quite annoyed by Jiraiya; this typical idealist was even worse than Hashirama's idealism.
His dreams were too grand, never grounded in reality.
Such a person only deserved to sit at the same table as Uzumaki Naruto; he had wasted his time meeting Jiraiya today.
Damn it!
He wasted two hours of his time, yet achieved nothing.
Chatting with this good-for-nothing Jiraiya was worse than going to play with Hiruzen Sarutobi; at least every time he met Hiruzen Sarutobi, he could gain a lot of benefits from him.
As for Jiraiya?
He was a pauper!
Aside from the bullshit Will of Fire, he had nothing else, so he wasn't worth talking to.
He might as well go back and nurture his Dōjutsu Power with this time!
One must know.
In the big battle with Danzo a few days ago, he had consumed a full 10% of his Dōjutsu Power. Although his recovery speed was several times faster than before due to long-term use of his Dōjutsu, the problem was that the consumption this time was quite significant.
According to Uchiha Jin's estimation, it would take at least a month and a half to recover.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Looking at the departing Uchiha Jin, Jiraiya was stunned in place, opening his mouth to say something but unable to utter a word.
Finally.
Under Uchiha Yue's smiling farewell, he could only helplessly leave Jin's courtyard.
However.
Just as he was about to leave the Uchiha Clan Compound, he was surprised to see many Ino–Shika–Chō members, seemingly purchasing food on the street, looking as if they lived there.
What made him even more incomprehensible was that he even saw Kakashi and Might Guy?!
Wait... Jiraiya rubbed his eyes, muttering to himself.
"An illusion!"
"Yes, it must be an illusion!"
"How could Ino–Shika–Chō and Kakashi appear in the Uchiha Clan Compound?"
