"Trying to get rid of Uchiha Jin in the short term seems unrealistic now."
"Especially Uchiha Jin's personality, which is completely different from other Uchiha, gives me the feeling he's more like a Nara."
"This kind of guy is hard to deal with!"
"So, all of us need to be prepared for a long struggle!"
"Let's put aside the matter of getting rid of Uchiha Jin for now; Uchiha Jin has given me a big problem."
"You guys should help me figure out how to handle this matter."
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hide anything.
He absolutely trusted these people present.
So.
He completely recounted his probing of Uchiha Jin today, as well as Uchiha Jin's prepared counterattack.
Utatane Koharu: "..."
Mitokado Homura: "..."
Shimura Danzo: "..."
The three exchanged glances, all dumbfounded.
Their minds went blank as they stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen in shock.
Yes.
They couldn't believe this was a bad idea an Uchiha's brain could come up with?
"This, is impossible, right?" Utatane Koharu said, full of shock, "These Uchiha, they could come up with such a bad idea?"
Mitokado Homura took a deep breath, but then said gravely, "We must stop this; otherwise, once it escalates, it will deal an extremely severe blow to Hiruzen's prestige."
Danzo also fell silent.
Although he didn't speak, his mind began to race.
Yes.
Even though he and Sarutobi Hiruzen had always been in conflict, that was only within their internal circle.
When facing external enemies, especially the Uchiha, he could still distinguish between what was important and what wasn't.
After a long while.
He finally spoke through gritted teeth.
"These damned Uchiha!"
"It's all your fault, Hiruzen, for being too soft-hearted. When the Senju were wiped out, our prestige in the village was at its highest."
"We should have taken that opportunity to get rid of the Uchiha in one fell swoop."
"You just wouldn't listen to me, hmph!"
Yes.
As early as when the Senju announced their retirement and completely integrated into the village, he had suggested directly getting rid of the Uchiha.
--- Requesting Flowers --- But, unfortunately.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't listen to him, which naturally made him angry.
However, regarding this.
Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent, not bothering to pay attention to Danzo at all.
"Enough, Danzo." Mitokado Homura interrupted directly, "When the Senju fell, all Ninja Clans were in danger."
"If we had forcibly dealt with the Uchiha, it would only have made all Ninja Clans wary and suspicious of us."
"The strategy of slowly boiling a frog, we all agreed on that."
Utatane Koharu nodded slightly.
On this point, it really couldn't be said to be Sarutobi Hiruzen's fault.
After pondering for a moment, she spoke coldly.
"I agree with Homura's statement, Danzo, you're going too far."
"The most important thing now is to quickly find a way to expose the Uchiha's conspiracy."
..."I think we should still spread rumors."
"Just like how we dealt with Hatake Sakumo, as long as all Ninja Clans are hostile towards the Uchiha, no matter what the Uchiha do, no one will trust the Uchiha!"
However.
Mitokado Homura directly shook his head at Utatane Koharu's method.
"Impossible, it's useless."
Danzo also scoffed at the idea, saying with a look of disdain, "This trick works on others, but not on the Uchiha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly nodded.
He somewhat agreed with Danzo's statement.
After pondering for a long time, he spoke helplessly.
"Under our influence, the Uchiha's reputation is already bad enough."
"Even if we blacken it further, what more can we blacken?"
"The Uchiha's reputation is already in the gutter; even if we blacken it more, others won't feel anything."
"The Uchiha have already given up, they'll just brazenly pretend not to hear it."
"What can you do?"
"Unless the Uchiha directly rebel now, simple rumors are useless."
Everyone fell silent.
At this moment, they really felt a headache.
The Uchiha were indeed difficult to deal with.
It was like the entertainment industry in a previous life; if a movie star with a good public image suddenly had a flood of scandals and their persona collapsed, it would naturally attract everyone's attention and condemnation.
But what about someone who is 'black-and-red'?
If they're already thoroughly blackened, what more can you do by blackening them further?
On the contrary, you'd only be sending them traffic!
If the 'black-and-red' person knew, they would only exclaim, 'There's such a good thing?'
Thanks, old friend 666! Gate.
Chapter 101: Sarutobi Lies Low, Danzo Refuses to Yield!
The Uchiha were that 'black-and-red'!
Even if the Konoha F4 didn't know what 'black-and-red' meant, they knew that mere rumors were utterly useless to the Uchiha.
If someone is already covered in mud, what difference does it make to throw more mud on them?
Those with nothing to lose fear nothing!
It was precisely because they understood this point that the Konoha F4 all fell silent.
"How about we initiate a Jonin Council?" Utatane Koharu proposed, "Let the Jonin Squad vote; if the Uchiha have any shame, they can't do this."
"Konoha belongs to everyone; even other Ninja Clans wouldn't agree to let the Uchiha wreak havoc on our village like this, would they?"
Mitokado Homura and Shimura Danzo quickly nodded upon hearing this method.
This was a good idea!
To put it simply, it was about shifting the conflict.
The method Uchiha Jin came up with was to directly transfer the conflict between the villagers and the Police Force onto the Konoha Higher-Ups.
"683" And now.
Utatane Koharu directly shifted this conflict onto all Ninja Clans.
You don't want the Uchiha to mess around like this, do you?
If the village really gets messed up, won't you Ninja Clans suffer losses?
"I agree!" Mitokado Homura nodded.
Although Danzo didn't speak, he also approved of Utatane Koharu's suggestion.
