Uchiha Jin's brows furrowed slightly.
From earlier until now, he had been pondering this matter.
However…
Not to mention the Uchiha clan, even he was completely bewildered.
Yes.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision truly caught him off guard.
He just conceded defeat like that?
He found it hard to understand.
After all, in his mind, it shouldn't have been like this.
What exactly was Sarutobi Hiruzen thinking?
Yes.
There was almost no doubt that Sarutobi Hiruzen had other plans.
But for a moment…
He really couldn't figure out what the Hokage's faction wanted to do.
Was this Sarutobi Hiruzen really that formidable?
Even he, who had received a complete nine-year compulsory education in his previous life, couldn't understand his actions?
He didn't believe it!
Sarutobi Hiruzen shouldn't be that strong.
In this Shinobi World, where power struggles were still in their early stages, there wasn't the soil to cultivate such a master of political maneuvering.
Could it be… he was overthinking it?
Following this line of thought, after pondering for a while longer, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Hmm, I get it!
Thinking this, he immediately took a deep breath.
"Alright, let's head back first."
"Whatever it is, we'll discuss it back at the Police Force."
…
Chapter 111: Jin's New Scheme: Never Let the Village Rest!
Police Force, Director's Office.
Not long after Uchiha Jin returned and sat down, Fugaku rushed over in a hurry.
His brows were tightly furrowed.
His eyes were filled with worry, and the moment he saw Jin-kun, he couldn't help but speak directly.
"Jin-kun, something's not right!"
"This time, the Hokage is too abnormal; he shouldn't be reacting like this, he shouldn't just concede defeat so easily!"
"I've interacted with him for quite some time, and I understand his personality fairly well."
"There must be a conspiracy behind his actions, but for the life of me, I can't think of what kind of counterattack he might be planning."
…
Fugaku was full of worry.
After all, this involved the Village and the Uchiha, and a failure would have a huge impact on the clan.
Therefore…
Although he didn't show up today, he was still closely monitoring the situation.
The moment the meeting ended, upon learning the details, he immediately felt something was amiss and rushed over.
Uchiha Jin's expression was calm.
He showed no surprise at Fugaku's sudden appearance.
Although Fugaku temporarily supported him, it was because he truly had no other choice, and Uchiha Jin's words offered him a glimmer of hope to break the deadlock.
So, he could only gamble!
Now, seeing that something was wrong, he naturally couldn't sit still.
"Clan Head, don't rush." Uchiha Jin said with a smile, "In times of great importance, one must remain calm. The bigger the matter, the calmer one needs to be."
"Panicking solves nothing; the more you face such situations, the more you need to calm yourself down."
"So don't rush, have a cup of tea first!"
He had Fugaku sit down and brewed a cup of tea for each of them.
Then…
He raised his cup in a gesture and leisurely began to sip his tea.
Fugaku, though anxious…
felt that what Jin-kun said seemed to make some sense.
So, he took a deep breath, sat down, and began to drink his tea.
It must be said…
Smelling the faint tea aroma, and then after drinking a cup of tea, he truly felt a little calmer.
Even his mind began to clear.
Feeling truly calm, Fugaku continued to inquire.
"Jin-kun, do you have any ideas?"
"What exactly does Sarutobi Hiruzen want to do?"
Yes.
Even though he had calmed down, he was still very concerned about this matter!
If he didn't get a definite answer, he probably wouldn't sleep well tonight.
"I don't know, I can't figure it out." Uchiha Jin said slowly, "I also feel completely bewildered."
Pfft!
Hearing this, Fugaku immediately spat out the tea he had just drunk.
He was stunned.
Good heavens!
Uchiha Jin was so calm and confident, Fugaku had thought he had already figured everything out, but he never expected Uchiha Jin to say he didn't know either?
Damn it.
This time…
He almost choked to death!
After he coughed for a moment, he couldn't help but look at Uchiha Jin beside him with a resentful gaze.
"Jin-kun, you…"
"Clan Head Fugaku, you're still so impatient." Uchiha Jin said softly, "I told you before, this matter cannot be rushed."
"Why don't you listen?"
"When facing a major event, you must first calm yourself down."
Jin-kun spoke earnestly.
He was truly doing it for Fugaku's own good, after all, as a Clan Head, a leader and superior of a clan…
To remain unperturbed when a mountain collapses before you, that could be considered a basic operation for someone in a superior position, right?
After all…
If you panic yourself the moment something happens, what are the people following you supposed to do?
Alas!
With a helpless sigh, Jin-kun felt it even more deeply.
