He often hid in the shadows, rarely appearing in public.
But, similarly.
Even as the Uchiha Clan Leader, Fugaku was extremely wary of Danzo.
After all.
When it came to dealing with the Uchiha, Danzo was the vanguard for the Konoha Higher-Ups.
Considering Uchiha Jin was still young and had previously kept his distance from the clan, he might not know Danzo, so he explained in great detail.
"It's fine, Clan Leader, don't worry." Uchiha Jin shrugged, "Since I dared to do this, I naturally made all the necessary preparations."
"When the Hokage arrives later, Clan Leader, you don't need to say anything."
"Just leave everything to me!"
Fugaku hesitated at his words.
However, after a moment's thought, he nodded.
Yes.
He felt a slight worry in his heart, as this matter's impact was too great.
The relationship between the Uchiha and the village was already tense. If news spread that the Uchiha had killed a fellow Konoha ninja, especially one from Danzo's Root this time...
Thinking of this, he got a headache.
On the other hand, Uchiha Jin.
He was completely relaxed, not taking the matter seriously at all... And, on the other side.
Just as Uchiha Jin and Fugaku were talking, the departing Anbu also hurried back.
They reported the news directly to the Hokage Building.
"What? All of Root's elites annihilated?"
"And no other Uchiha interfered, only Uchiha Jin himself did it?"
"How could he be so strong?"
"You didn't feel any Chakra fluctuations from Uchiha Jin's Mangekyo Sharingan, yet those Anbu's bodies instantly collapsed?"
"Damn it!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was grim.
After hearing the Anbu's report, in addition to anger, he felt more fear.
Uchiha Jin's Mangekyo was too troublesome!
Even though he was known as the Professor of Ninjutsu, unless he sacrificed his life, he couldn't think of a way to counter Uchiha Jin's Mangekyo.
Yes.
It was merely fear, far from terror.
Because if he was willing to pay the price, it wasn't truly difficult to kill Uchiha Jin.
There were plenty of methods.
Konoha's foundation was very deep.
Reaper Death Seal, Adamantine Sealing Chains, Four Red Yang Formation, Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Jutsu... Konoha had many such forbidden jutsu.
However, using these forbidden jutsu came at too great a cost. Unless absolutely necessary, Sarutobi Hiruzen truly didn't want to use them.
Even... if he was truly pushed to the brink, he could just use Impure World Reincarnation.
If he brought back the brothers Hashirama and Tobirama, and then found two more Kage-level powerhouses to use Sage Art: Gate of the Great God, then...
Sarutobi Hiruzen truly didn't believe he couldn't kill one Uchiha Jin!
As for Kage-level powerhouses, Konoha certainly didn't lack them.
His three disciples, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, any one of them could help him.
Konoha, as the strongest Ninja Village, did not earn that reputation for nothing.
This was also why Uchiha Jin, despite being so strong, still chose to lay low.
To truly challenge Sarutobi Hiruzen, he would at least need the strength of the Six Paths of Pain.
He was still far from that now!
This was Sarutobi Hiruzen's confidence in dealing with the Uchiha.
Don't be fooled by the original story, where Uchiha Itachi was the one who acted.
That was just because doing so incurred the least cost.
It didn't mean that without Uchiha Itachi, Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't have acted.
What a joke!
Would the Senju Clan of yesteryear be inferior to the Uchiha?
--- Requesting Fresh Flowers --- He still played them to their demise!
Konoha had declined a lot over the years, but a starved camel was still bigger than a horse.
A mere Uchiha Jin, indeed, seemed very troublesome.
But he was still far from scaring Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Immediately notify the Sealing Team, Jonin Squad, the major Ninja Clans, and the two Elders..."
"Gather everyone and head to the Police Force!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke indifferently.
A cold glint flickered in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth.
He, hated it!
His actions against the Uchiha had proceeded very smoothly.
Those foolish Uchiha were so misled they didn't know which way was up.
But, who would have thought.
This foolish Uchiha Clan, at such a critical moment, suddenly had a strong man descend from the heavens.
Damn it...
However, never mind.
The most important thing now was to resolve the current situation.
He really wanted to personally meet this new Elder of the Uchiha.
"Yes!"
Black Crow bowed and withdrew, then arranged for the Anbu to carry out the task.
In just ten minutes.
The leaders of the major Ninja Clans, except for those on the front lines, were all present.
The Sealing Team, Anbu, Interrogation Division... all the strong individuals remaining in Konoha had come at his command.
Although they were puzzled.
Facing such a display, no one dared to speak first.
"Hiruzen, what's wrong?"
"It's late at night, has another Ninja Village launched a sneak attack?"
Torifu Koharu and Mitokado Homura were both a bit confused at this moment.
Unlike the others.
They were closest to Sarutobi Hiruzen, so they naturally asked without hesitation.
Especially seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen in battle attire, their expressions also began to grow serious.
"No time to explain." Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke calmly, "Everyone, objective: Police Force."
"Move out!"
