"And after Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, did the village investigate that major leak case?"
"An S-rank mission leak, under normal circumstances, should be thoroughly investigated, right?"
"But, was it investigated?"
"What this represents, even a fool can see."
"The leakers themselves were the village's higher-ups; how could they investigate themselves?"
"But Hatake Sakumo still committed suicide. Why?"
"Because he knew that if he chose to resist, could Konoha, after a civil war, withstand attacks from other Ninja Villages?"
"So, he upheld the will of fire!"
"For the village's stability, he chose to commit suicide!"
Chapter 159: Darkness Sweeps, Minato's Team Completely Dejected
Kakashi Hatake was completely stunned.
Ever since his father's suicide, this question had troubled him for so many years.
But, he never expected it.
He had considered countless possibilities, but he had never thought of the one Uchiha Jin mentioned.
It's just, how could it be?
How could Lord Hokage do such a thing?
He didn't believe it!
The Ninja Academy taught the will of fire, but this was not the will of fire at all!
His long-held beliefs and the cruel reality from Jin's mouth almost tore him apart.
At this moment.
He collapsed directly to the ground, instantly becoming dejected.
He felt that his persistence was nothing short of a joke.
But, on the other side.
Obito couldn't hold back and immediately roared.
"This isn't right!"
"The Ninja Academy didn't teach it this way, Uchiha Jin, you don't understand the will of fire at all."
"I can't argue with you, but you're just wrong!"
The others remained silent.
Regarding Obito's anger, those who understood didn't bother to respond, and those who didn't understand couldn't refute him.
Only Uchiha Jin.
He merely glanced at Obito disdainfully, then spoke in a cold tone.
"The will of fire, well said!"
"According to Senju Hashirama, the original intention of Konoha's establishment was to stop children from going to war."
"The burning of ninjas is to illuminate the village and protect new seedlings."
"But, then what?"
"Why are all the ones dying on the battlefield a bunch of Ninja Academy children?"
"Do you know that most of our classmates from this batch have already died?"
"Even I didn't want to graduate initially, but in the end, I was forced to graduate."
"Where is the promised protection of the seedlings?"
"Show me!"
"Go and see the Sarutobi Clan with your own eyes; there are nearly five thousand ninjas, around four thousand. You, Obito, have been on the battlefield for so long, tell me how many people from the Sarutobi Clan you've seen?"
"And the other three major Ninja Clans led by Sarutobi: Utatane, Mitokado, and Shimura."
"Tell me, how many family ninjas from the Elder Council have you seen?"
"Now, after you return to Konoha, go and take a good look at these Ninja Clans, see how prosperous their clans are?"
"The Uchiha Clan, a founding family of Konoha."
"But now there are only six or seven hundred ninjas left in the clan. Where did all those Uchiha Clan members go?"
"They all died!"
"The Senju Clan is even worse; now it's completely gone."
"Don't talk to me about integrating into Konoha; Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama never said such a thing."
"This was reluctantly said by Uzumaki Mito after Senju Nawaki, the last remaining seedling of the Senju Clan's main branch, died and Tsunade became disheartened."
"As for Senju Nawaki's death, that's an even bigger joke!"
"Every time the Hyuga main branch leaves the village, they are accompanied by a protection team composed of Jonin."
"Important Uchiha figures also have family secret guards around them; in fact, which family doesn't?"
"As a founding family of Konoha, and Senju Nawaki as the sole main branch, tell me, he didn't have a protection team around him?"
"But, then what?"
"With secret guards protecting him, his older sister was the head of the front-line medical division, and his teacher Orochimaru was the front-line commander..."
"Such a luxurious protection team, yet he died in the very first battle after leaving the village!"
"Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for enemies to even get close, right?"
"Blown up by explosive tags, hehe!"
"Those Jonin around Senju Nawaki, who had been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, tell me, they didn't even recognize an explosive tag trap?"
"Konoha's two founding families: one completely annihilated, the other suppressed by the village, already on the verge of annihilation."
"In contrast, the Sarutobi, a small Ninja Clan that had only about two hundred ninjas when it joined Konoha at its founding, is now so prosperous with nearly five thousand ninjas."
"You, Obito, tell me, where did the Sarutobi Clan get the money to support so many ninjas?"
"Even if the Sarutobi Clan is capable, besides the logistics department on the battlefield, how come I haven't found any other places with Sarutobi Clan ninjas?"
"You're burning paper at a grave, trying to fool ghosts!"
Uchiha Jin's tone was cold.
Yes.
Since he knew these were Minato Namikaze's disciples, and they had already allied with him.
Then, for the future.
So that Minato Namikaze's internal affairs wouldn't be chaotic, knowing that this little sun was a bit soft-hearted, he probably wouldn't be willing to speak harshly.
So, hehe.
Uchiha Jin would do it for him!
And, on the other side.
As Uchiha Jin spoke, even Obito fell completely silent.
Yes.
After all, he was Minato Namikaze's disciple, so how could he not have visited the Sarutobi Clan?
No matter how prosperous the Sarutobi Clan was, or how many ninjas it had, even if he hadn't counted them, he still had a rough idea.
But, then what?
Just as Uchiha Jin said, in all the time he had been on the battlefield, how many Sarutobi Clan ninjas had he seen?
So, he could only remain silent!
Immediately after.
The gritting his teeth, Uchiha Obito angrily activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan.
But, unfortunately.
Perhaps at another time, this would have been a shocking event.
However, now.
