Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were dark and obscure.
A terrifying cold light shot out from his eyes, and he looked like a furious vulture, staring intently at Uchiha Jin's retreating back.
"Get out!"
He did not look at Uchiha Fugaku, merely pointing coldly at the door.
Seeing this, Uchiha Fugaku felt his scalp tingle.
This was the first time he had seen an enraged Hiruzen Sarutobi, shattering his previous idealized view of the Hokage.
Then.
Without any of the arrogance expected of a Mangekyo powerhouse, he fled the Hokage Office in a panic, like a startled cat.
"Anbu!"
"Inform Danzo, Koharu, and Homura, the three Elders, to drop everything they are doing."
"Come here immediately, and as quickly as possible!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke coldly.
The Anbu member, kneeling on one knee, respectfully departed... Ten minutes later.
In front of the Uchiha Clan Compound, Uchiha Fugaku caught up.
The look he gave Uchiha Jin was extremely complex. After pondering for a long time, he spoke with a bitter tone.
"Jin, you..."
"Don't hesitate, just say what you need to say."
Uchiha Jin was casual; his eyes narrowed slightly, and he even displayed a faint smile.
In response to this.
Uchiha Fugaku pondered for a long time before asking doubtfully, "Did you already know Hiruzen Sarutobi's true nature?"
"What kind of question is that? Isn't that like a louse sitting right on a bald man's head?" Uchiha Jin rolled his eyes.
Uchiha Fugaku asked, "How so?"
Uchiha Jin didn't want to waste words on the matter.
However.
Considering that many upcoming actions would indeed require Uchiha Fugaku, the scapegoat, he spoke directly: "Senju Nawaki, Kato Dan, Hatake Sakumo, Minato Namikaze..."
"The Senju and Uzumaki clans, and then the Konoha Sannin..."
"Especially—Orochimaru!"
"He is a person from a common background; where did he get the funds to conduct human experimentation?"
Uchiha Fugaku was dumbfounded.
Because he had left early before, and hadn't moved back to the current ancestral grounds, he genuinely didn't know about these things.
In response to this.
Looking at the bewildered Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Jin spoke directly, "Go talk to the other elders; I've already discussed these matters with them!"
"The Konoha Leadership certainly won't be quiet next, and I need to give them other things to worry about, so I don't have time to talk about this with you."
After speaking.
He waved his hand and headed straight home.
Uchiha Fugaku's eyes were complex, but he finally made up his mind: "I am also willing to contribute to the Uchiha. If things truly escalate to armed conflict in the future, I will take action!"
At this moment, his resolve was complete.
There was no alternative!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's true face just now had genuinely startled him.
After completely realizing that he had been tricked before, even if he hadn't shown it just now, when it came to actual armed conflict, he would naturally stand firmly on Uchiha Jin's side.
In response to this.
Uchiha Jin showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, but still waved casually and left.
It was certainly a good thing that Uchiha Fugaku was willing to act!
Although his brain was admittedly quite dull, the man was still a Mangekyo powerhouse. Speaking of which, he felt somewhat grateful to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
If not for today's incident, Uchiha Fugaku would have at most been complacent and definitely wouldn't have said these words.
Soon after.
As soon as Uchiha Jin sat down after returning home, Uchiha Yue brewed him tea and obediently began massaging his shoulders.
This kind of thing was truly enjoyable!
Although he was slowly getting used to it, he still felt it wasn't quite right.
It was too decadent!
But he couldn't bear to refuse; after all, it was her kind intention.
So he coughed and spoke directly.
"Call Uchiha Tadashi over!"
"Yes, Elder Jin!"
The Uchiha guard at the door immediately knelt on one knee in affirmation and then departed.
A moment later.
Uchiha Tadashi walked in: "Elder Jin, did you call for me?"
"Yes, help me handle something!" Uchiha Jin said.
Immediately after.
He called Uchiha Tadashi closer and whispered his instructions: "Tell Elder Hatchodai to proceed with caution. When the clan members are patrolling Konoha, they should take the opportunity to create several Shadow Clones, use the Transformation Jutsu to hide their presence, and secretly spread information throughout Konoha."
"Remember, be quick!"
Uchiha Tadashi's eyes were resolute.
After nodding solemnly, he immediately left the Clan Compound and headed to the Police Force headquarters.
Looking at the noisy Police Force headquarters, which resembled a bustling market, a hint of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth before he proceeded to Elder Hatchodai's office.
"Tadashi?"
"Does Jin have any new instructions?"
Uchiha Tadashi nodded.
After briefly relaying Uchiha Jin's instructions, Elder Hatchodai couldn't help but gasp.
Truly ruthless!
His eyes held a hint of horror, but he finally spoke solemnly: "Tell Lord Jin that I will handle it!"
"Understood, Elder Hatchodai. I'll take my leave!" Uchiha Tadashi nodded.
As he left, the office fell silent.
Elder Hatchodai took a deep breath, then summoned the captains under his command and assigned them tasks... Meanwhile, on the other side.
Uchiha Fugaku found Uchiha Amano and learned the so-called truth from him.
Then.
He fell completely silent.
Five minutes later, a long sigh escaped him.
"Yes, it's too coincidental!"
"I always felt it was very strange before, as if Konoha were cursed; any Ninja capable of holding their own always seemed to meet with some kind of accident."
"Now, looking at it from Jin's perspective, all these people threatened Hiruzen Sarutobi's rule."
"And now, it's the Uchiha's turn!"
Uchiha Fugaku's expression was terrible, and he was even somewhat unwilling to believe it.
There was no alternative.
The difference between this and his previous understanding was too vast!
Uchiha Amano sighed and said, "Fugaku, are you really willing to believe it?"
His eyes were full of doubt; clearly, he didn't quite believe it either.
Yes.
As someone who lived through the era of Uchiha Madara, he clearly understood how drastic and extreme an Uchiha's change in mentality could be after awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan... Therefore.
Regarding Uchiha Fugaku, this Mangekyo powerhouse, he truly didn't believe the other party could change his mind!
In response to this.
Uchiha Fugaku's face was full of bitterness: "The ocular technique awakened in my left eye is called Izanagi's Premonition. It can anchor a specific point to predict a certain amount of future time."
"Through the intelligence gathered today, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's true face, I have vaguely glimpsed a path to survival."
"I have abandoned all illusions. From now on, I will be completely ready for battle!"
As he spoke.
A murderous aura erupted from him; gone was his previous meekness, replaced instead by a truly ferocious gaze.
Uchiha Amano was slightly stunned, then showed a relieved smile.
Hmm, that's good!
Now that Uchiha Fugaku has chosen to join, only Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi remain.
Of course.
They are the truly stubborn ones; convincing them is nearly impossible!
