After he finishes off the Sarutobi Clan, Uchiha Jin will defect.
After that...
He will go into secret hibernation, and for the rest of his life, he will constantly look for opportunities to ambush and kill everyone in Konoha.
Finally...
I sincerely hope the Third Hokage will be cautious and not give orders impulsively.
Chapter 117: A Personal Letter, Konoha Higher-Ups and Ninja Clans All Shut Up!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's forehead was sweating.
Looking at the personal letter in front of him, his entire mind went blank.
He never expected Uchiha Jin to be so resolute.
However...
Considering that his side was already preparing to destroy the Uchiha, it was understandable for them to flip the table... What the hell!
According to normal human thinking, the first reaction to such a situation should be to try and protect the entire clan.
Either fight the Konoha Higher-Ups head-on, or find a way to break through?
What kind of situation is it to abandon all Uchiha civilians, and even treat those below Chunin as cannon fodder?
And for all Jonin to disperse and do their best to eliminate the relatives and genius seeds of the higher-ups of various Ninja Clans?
Are you crazy?
Especially you, the Mangekyo owner, do you still have any pride as a strong person?
Instead of fighting me, the Third Hokage, head-on, you're just standing at your clan's entrance... Damn it.
Do you have any shame?
But, there's no choice!
After a helpless sigh, he forced a bitter smile.
He knew in his heart.
A surprise attack on the Uchiha today was clearly impossible.
With such a personal letter, as long as the major Ninja Clans saw it, their attitudes would definitely become ambiguous.
Yes.
They were willing to participate in the slaughter of the Uchiha only because they were frightened by the 'law amendment' matter.
As long as they knew the truth, and knew that the Uchiha had no intention of flipping the table.
The Uchiha just wanted to negotiate with the Ninja Clans and recruit a few allies for themselves.
In that case...
Facing the Uchiha, who abide by the rules of the game, even if they don't ally with the Uchiha, they won't easily choose to be enemies with them.
He could, of course, destroy this personal letter, but the problem was, could he bear to give up the Sarutobi Clan?
He couldn't!
One must know that Uchiha Jin, that shameless old schemer, was currently guarding his clan's entrance!
Once he gave the order, never mind the other Ninja Clans.
His own Sarutobi Clan would definitely be wiped out!
He had embezzled the village's finances for so many years and cultivated the Sarutobi Clan with all his might; they absolutely could not be lost in such a place!
Yes.
He could sit firmly in the position of Hokage because the Sarutobi Clan was his base.
The Utatane, Mitokado, and Shimura clans supported him as Hokage precisely because he had the backing of Ninja Clans.
It was also because he became Hokage that Ino-Shika-Cho was willing to follow him!
Therefore...
If the Sarutobi Clan were to be destroyed, his base as Hokage would be gone, making him no different from a commoner.
Who would still support him?
Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly repeatedly.
This time, he had been hit where it hurt.
Uchiha Jin was indeed formidable!
Not only did one letter break the village's alliance, making the major Ninja Clans afraid to choose sides, but even he, the Hokage, was threatened.
Even though he had directly stated that he wanted to find allies for the Uchiha, he couldn't find a way to refuse.
Just like last time, this was an open conspiracy!
Even though it was clearly told to him, he still couldn't find a way to stop it.
What to do?
How to break this deadlock?
Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind raced, but in the end, he still let out a sigh.
He had no choice!
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen truly wished he could call Nara Shikaku back.
For this Uchiha, who didn't play by the rules, his own rank as Hokage was truly not enough.
"Hiruzen?" Utatane Koharu couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened?"
Her face was solemn.
She knew her old friend, Sarutobi Hiruzen, quite well.
Just by looking at the situation, she knew that something had changed.
Mitokado Homura was the same.
After a moment of contemplation, he couldn't help but speak.
"Hiruzen, you must be cautious!"
"No matter what Uchiha Jin said, we are now at a point of no return!
"At this critical juncture, we cannot give up!"
Only Danzo remained.
He knew Sarutobi Hiruzen best, and even seeing the current situation, he knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen was going to give up.
No one could dissuade Sarutobi Hiruzen from a decision he had made.
Not even him.
Although he didn't know what Uchiha Jin had said in the letter, those things were no longer important.
Indeed!
Sarutobi Hiruzen was unreliable.
To deal with those evil Uchiha, it really had to be him, Shimura Danzo.
Thinking of this, he let out a cold snort.
Danzo stood up directly, and without saying a word, walked straight out of the meeting hall.
Yes.
Since they weren't going to deal with the Uchiha, why should he stay here?
He needed to go back and make good arrangements.
To deal with these evil Uchiha, it really still had to be his Root.
The major Ninja Clans were all confused.
Looking at the scene before them, everyone exchanged glances, all looking bewildered.
What in the world are they doing!
Dealing with the Uchiha was a serious matter.
Why was it now being treated like children playing house?
However...
Although they were puzzled, they did not speak.
