How could he still be in the village, entangled with Sarutobi Hiruzen?
Actually, let alone others...
Even Fugaku was sweating profusely, momentarily lost in thought.
Seeing this, Uchiha Jin's face was full of mockery.
After taking a deep breath, he returned to his lazy state.
"Alright, stop thinking."
"All you Uchiha, be more realistic."
"You should first investigate properly. Let's not talk about those distant things; you can't even deal with the Sarutobi Clan alone."
--- Please give flowers --- "Do you think it's still the early days of Konoha's establishment?"
"The current Sarutobi Clan has nearly four thousand ninja. Even if the Uchiha can fight one against three, the Sarutobi Clan can still exhaust the Uchiha to death."
"The reason the Uchiha are so arrogant yet still survive to this day is actually very simple."
"The Hokage faction doesn't want to pay too high a price."
"Once they truly go to war with the Uchiha, Konoha will suffer huge casualties."
"Furthermore, without the Uchiha, a too-weak Konoha wouldn't be able to withstand the Four Great Shinobi Villages."
"Otherwise, hehe."
Uchiha Jin's face was full of disdain.
However.
At this moment, no one in the shrine was paying attention to this point.
Instead, everyone was gasping in cold air...
The Uchiha might be arrogant, but they are certainly not foolish.
The Sarutobi Clan is not far from the Uchiha, so anyone with a mind to could discern the situation of the Sarutobi Clan.
It's just that.
The Uchiha of the past were too lazy to pay attention to these things.
Now, reminded by Jin, they naturally reacted instantly.
"This, it's true."
"I hadn't noticed before, but now that Jin reminded me, I thought about it carefully, and there are too many ninja in the Sarutobi Clan."
"Where does the Sarutobi Clan get so much money to support so many ninja?"
"It must be Sarutobi Hiruzen; he embezzled the village's money."
"We must report him and spread this matter."
"..."
Many Uchiha spoke up one after another.
They became extremely angry, all cursing loudly.
Even Fugaku was somewhat attentive.
After pondering for a moment, he looked at Uchiha Jin again.
"Jin-kun, what do you think?" Fugaku couldn't help but ask, "If we spread this matter, it should at least make Sarutobi Hiruzen frantic, right?"
Uchiha Jin's mouth twitched.
He looked at Fugaku as if he were looking at an idiot.
After a long silence, he finally couldn't help but speak.
"Clan Head, are you crazy?"
"Do you think Sarutobi Hiruzen alone could embezzle so much money from the village and not be discovered by anyone?"
"Utatane, Shimura, Mito, and even Ino-Shika-Cho..."
"If there were no benefits, why would these Ninja Clan pledge allegiance to Sarutobi Hiruzen?"
"If the Uchiha dare to do that, they would be cutting off the livelihoods of these Ninja Clan."
"Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing their parents!"
Chapter 81: All Uchiha Shut Up, Fugaku's True Purpose
Fugaku was in self-isolation.
His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his mouth twitched violently.
He believed he was already quite conservative and cautious within the Uchiha Clan.
But, he never thought.
The suggestion he made was so thoroughly refuted.
Even with his relatively easygoing nature, he was now a bit embarrassed.
However, there was nothing he could do!
Anyone who thought about it for a moment would know that Uchiha Jin was indeed not lying!
Just as he said, Sarutobi Hiruzen alone truly couldn't have done it.
But, he was the Clan Head!
Couldn't they give him a little face?
"This... alright!" Fugaku had black lines on his forehead, but he still nodded and said, "Jin-kun is right; I thought poorly."
"Since that's the case, let's put this matter on hold for now."
"It seems that the current Uchiha can only maintain the status quo with the village."
Everyone present remained silent.
Yes.
Although everyone knew that Uchiha Jin was right.
But, in reality.
Everyone still found it a bit hard to accept.
This is very normal.
After all, they are the proud Uchiha; suddenly suffering such a huge blow, it's understandable that they would find it difficult to accept for a while.
But, similarly.
Although they were arrogant, they were not stupid.
After Uchiha Jin's words, they instantly understood that the current Uchiha truly weren't the village's opponents.
If not silent, what else could they do?
Therefore.
As Fugaku spoke, the entire shrine instantly became incredibly quiet.
Uchiha Jin had a helpless expression.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
Looking at these rather unconvinced guys, he hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Clan Head, and everyone."
"Originally, I didn't really want to get involved in these messy affairs of the Uchiha."
"As for the reason, everyone knows it, so I won't explain further."
"But, now."
"Since you've elected me as an Elder, and even made me the Police Chief."
"Then, in order to live more comfortably in the future, I have no choice but to remind everyone a little."
"Perhaps my tone was a bit harsh, and I apologize for that."
"But I also hope everyone can be more rational. In fact, my previous statements were already enough to save the Uchiha face."
"Don't be unconvinced, do you know Konoha's true foundation?"
"I can tell you directly, the visible high-level ninja in the village are actually nothing at all."
