Uchiha Jin opened his mouth with mockery, giving Sarutobi Hiruzen no face at all.
This point was also easy to understand!
Now was not the time when Uchiha Jin just became the leader of the Radical Faction. Now he not only firmly controlled the Uchiha as a base, but also had the participation of major ninja clans in Konoha, and even Tsunade, Kakashi, and Might Guy had joined...
And in this new situation, there was no need to continue to abide by the rules of the game because he was already qualified to set the rules.
So.
For a mere Sarutobi Hiruzen, being sarcastic was mild.
Given the power he held now, if he hadn't thought about controlling the entire Konoha without injury, he would have started a war directly.
Of course.
His thoughts were the same as Sarutobi Hiruzen's. The more one becomes a true superior, the less they actually want to start a war. After all, war is always the worst choice.
The best way to win a war is through strategy, the second is through diplomacy, the third is through military force, and the worst is through sieging cities.
As a transmigrator, he understood this simple truth better than anyone else.
"Uchiha Jin, cut the crap!"
"The so-called new Konoha you created is a provocation to the entire village."
"I advise you to give up splitting the village immediately and acknowledge Jiraiya's status as Hokage, otherwise we can only start a war forcibly!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was cold.
He didn't care about Uchiha Jin's ridicule. After all, having been the Hokage for so many years, his skin had long been tempered to be thicker than the city wall.
He only valued benefits; face and the like had to stand aside.
Therefore.
He had no mind to waste time with Uchiha Jin on other aspects and directly put forward the core request he cared about most.
Give up splitting Konoha and acknowledge Jiraiya's status as Hokage!
But, unfortunately.
Since Uchiha Jin dared to create a new Konoha, he had naturally made various preparations long ago. Therefore, regarding Sarutobi Hiruzen's request, he calmly chose to refuse.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you are mistaken about one thing!"
"When Konoha was founded, there was a promise allowing major ninja clans to withdraw at any time."
"So given the special situation between the Uchiha and the village, since we haven't been able to truly integrate for decades, then we Uchiha naturally choose not to integrate. Withdrawing from Konoha is good for all of us, isn't it?"
"The Uchiha's withdrawal is in line with the original covenant."
"You, Sarutobi Hiruzen, have been the Hokage for so many years; don't you even know about this most basic covenant?"
"In that case, you really aren't competent as a Hokage!"
"As for other ninja clans, that can only be said to be a coincidence."
"They also felt uncomfortable staying in Konoha, so they also voluntarily withdrew from Konoha. This has nothing to do with the Uchiha."
"It's just that we ninja clans discussed it and felt that since everyone has withdrawn anyway, we might as well establish a new ninja village directly."
"So after we reported this matter to the Daimyo, the Daimyo was also very willing to support us and willing to give financial and other material support. Therefore, our village establishment process complies with all procedures."
"Whether it is withdrawing from Konoha or the laws of the Land of Fire, it is enough to support my behavior."
"Finally, a reminder!"
"Although we are staying in Konoha now, we have also obtained the consent of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Before the planning of the new Konoha is completed, we have the right to stay on this land."
"When the location planned by the Daimyo for our new village is successfully built, we will naturally move to the new land."
"If you want to start a war with us now, then it is not an internal confrontation within the village, but an aggressive war by your Konoha against our new Konoha. At that time, our new Konoha has the right to carry out defensive counterattacks."
"In addition, regarding your Konoha's aggressive behavior, we will definitely ask the Daimyo to make a ruling in the future. And I think your external aggressive behavior definitely has not obtained the authorization of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, right?"
"At that time, whether the Daimyo will reduce your finances or punish you in other aspects, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance."
Uchiha Jin's tone was calm.
He always planned before acting. Since he had decided to create a new Konoha, he naturally wanted to make sure no one could find any flaws, whether in terms of legal principles or other aspects.
Of course.
Only he, Uchiha Jin, could do this kind of thing. The previous Uchiha didn't have the ability to do it.
Because this was a world where martial power reigned supreme. Even if the Uchiha went to defect to the Daimyo before, Konoha could exterminate the entire Uchiha on the way before they reached the Daimyo's mansion.
At that time, even if the Daimyo was unhappy, there was no need to specifically create any conflict with Konoha for a dead Uchiha.
Uchiha Jin was completely different!
First of all, he himself was a Mangekyou powerhouse, and he also won over Fugaku, another Mangekyou user. Incidentally, he twisted the entire Uchiha into a single rope, and even won over countless ninja clans, large and small.
His strength and power were sufficient, and he was not afraid of Konoha turning hostile, so he was qualified to play like this.
Because the first element of playing power politics is to use absolute hard power to force the enemy directly to the negotiating table.
The previous Uchiha did not have this ability!
After speaking.
He directly took out the authorization document from the Daimyo and threw it directly to Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him.
On the other side.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the authorization document from the Daimyo in front of him, and his heart instantly turned cold.
Damn it.
Familiar with the situation in the Daimyo's mansion, he knew that this document was real.
But now, it was difficult to handle!
Because Uchiha Jin was right. Before Konoha was founded, the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, publicly promised that every ninja clan had the right to choose to withdraw.
It was just that with the continuous development of the village, the power of the Konoha higher-ups became heavier and heavier, and the rights of the major ninja clans were infinitely compressed, so the original covenant was naturally thrown into the trash can.
After all, without that strength, the so-called covenant was just a piece of waste paper.
As long as he, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was willing, he could instantly think of countless reasons to abandon that covenant and kill the other party.
The winner takes all!
And now?
The power of the Uchiha camp was here, and they had the strength to maintain that covenant.
Now it's trouble!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's brain thought frantically, but he couldn't think of any words to refute. After all, the strength he could master now made it impossible for him to use violence to break the situation.
On the other side.
Jiraiya looked at this authorization from the Daimyo, and his heart sank to the bottom.
He couldn't help but ask: "Old man, is this true?"
"When Konoha was founded, did this covenant really exist?"
Clearly.
He was too young when he was born, and didn't even remember Senju Tobirama.
So naturally, people like him born after the village was founded didn't know about this covenant from the era of Senju Hashirama.
