Everyone else fell silent.
They didn't know how to respond to Danzo's accusation.
After all, who could have expected it?
That such a figure would suddenly emerge from the Uchiha Clan?
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
He glanced at the three of them briefly, then slowly spoke.
"It seems we've all reached an agreement."
"Since that's the case, let's not waste any more time. Although Nara Shikaku, the Jonin Squad leader, isn't here, he granted me the right to temporarily convene the Jonin Squad in his letter."
"So, send out the notice."
"A Jonin Squad meeting will be held in two hours."
"All Jonin remaining in the village must attend."
Yes.
In the special world of the Shinobi World, although the Hokage is supreme, he is not omnipotent.
The difference between him and the emperors of Jin's previous life was truly significant.
Just like now.
To hold a Jonin Squad meeting, he needed Nara Shikaku's authorization.
From this, one can imagine.
How could Sarutobi Hiruzen not have panicked when Hatake Sakumo controlled the Anbu, the Jonin Squad, and the Interrogation and Torture Squad, and was also granted the title of Hokage-in-training by the Daimyo?
"Alright, I'll go notify them immediately." Torifu Koharu nodded instantly.
Mitokado Homura naturally had no objections.
Only Danzo.
Upon seeing this situation, he immediately said with disdain.
--- Please give us some flowers --- "You handle this."
"I'm not interested in participating in such a disgraceful matter."
"In short, one thing."
"You're responsible for getting Uchiha Jin to the front lines. Then I'll naturally have Root act, making him 'accidentally' enter the Cloud Village's core camp."
"Even if he manages to escape this calamity, rumors of him defecting and betraying the village will spread throughout Konoha!"
"At that point, without a just cause."
"I don't think the other Uchiha will dare to openly protect him."
"Then I hope, Hiruzen, you directly declare Uchiha Jin a rogue ninja!"
"It would be best to bring your three disciples, as well as Namikaze Minato and the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki."
"Gather all available power, spare no effort, and eliminate Uchiha Jin at all costs!"
...After speaking.
Danzo left without any hesitation, turning and walking away.
Yes.
Just as he said.
Although he had hidden in the shadows for a long time, he was essentially a person who cared about his reputation.
Later, convene the Jonin Squad and apologize to the entire Konoha for the Uchiha?
Heh heh!
Danzo couldn't do it.
He couldn't even bear to watch, so it was better not to join the fun.
Otherwise, he truly feared.
He feared that he wouldn't be able to control himself and would immediately fight Uchiha Jin.
So, he left.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others did not try to stop him.
After all, they had been friends for so many years; who didn't understand each other!
So.
After Danzo left, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke softly.
"What Danzo said actually makes a lot of sense."
"This Uchiha Jin fellow cannot be allowed to remain any longer."
"No matter what, he must be dealt with."
"As for how to deal with him, Root can handle everything."
"But under what pretext to send Uchiha Jin to the front lines, that's what we need to worry about."
"You two, think carefully."
"It would be best to finalize this matter directly at the Jonin meeting later, without giving Uchiha Jin a single moment to think."
"Even if we have to force him, we must push him to the front lines."
"Otherwise, if he stays in Konoha for one more day, it will cause us extremely heavy losses."
..." Gate.
Chapter 106: The Police Force? What the Senju Owe the Uchiha!
Two in the afternoon.
Uchiha Clan Grounds, Uchiha Jin's small courtyard.
He and Itachi had just finished eating and were sitting in the courtyard, digesting.
"Teacher!"
"Regarding the Police Force's matters recently, I've heard a few things from my father at home."
"But, I don't understand!"
"Although the village doesn't allocate funds to the Police Force, they shouldn't transfer their grievances to the civilians, should they?"
"I don't understand, why?"
"Since I can think of it, there's no way you, Teacher, couldn't."
"So why do it?"
Itachi's brows were slightly furrowed.
It was clear that he had been thinking about this matter for several days.
To be honest.
He had also had a lot of contact with Jin and knew that his teacher was essentially a kind person.
Otherwise.
He would have long ago listed Uchiha Jin as an enemy.
So during this time, he tried not to think about the suffering of the civilians, but instead hoped to understand why his teacher acted this way.
But, unfortunately.
There was no answer!
Being a child, he couldn't keep things bottled up for long once he had someone to confide in.
So today, he finally asked.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Uchiha Jin's face remained calm upon hearing this.
He had long anticipated this scene.
Itachi, after all.
Was still a kind child at heart, and naturally couldn't accept his actions.
