Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

Late at night, in my own courtyard.

Uchiha Jin and Fugaku were sitting at the tea table in their living room.

"Chieftain, how are you feeling?"

After pouring Fugaku a cup of tea, Jinshinu couldn't help but smile and speak.

Fugaku let out a bitter laugh.

He shook his head helplessly and let out a long sigh.

Yes.

He was truly amazed just now!

He even couldn't help but think about what it would be like if he were in Uchiha Jin's position.

So, what solutions can he come up with tonight in the face of such a dire situation?

He thought about it for a long time and felt that the only option was to back down.

He honestly confessed his mistakes, sincerely apologized to the Hokage, and begged for Hiruzen Sarutobi's forgiveness.

Finally, most likely.

They agreed to some of Hiruzen Sarutobi's excessive demands, and paid a huge and terrible price.

At that time, Hiruzen Sarutobi considered that if the Uchiha were truly driven to the brink of destruction, it would not be a good thing for the village either, so naturally, the matter ended there.

The Uchiha paid a price, but they should also be grateful for the Hokage's mercy.

This was the only solution Fugaku could think of!

But, unexpectedly.

Today, with Uchiha Jin in charge, the situation has changed so drastically.

Despite being a member of Root, Hiruzen Sarutobi dared not admit it.

finally.

They were forced to admit their 'spy' identities and even had to praise the Uchiha for their contributions before they could hastily resolve the matter for the night.

Even the three Anbu members who were captured during the day were beaten so badly by the Uchiha that they could no longer even be ninjas.

But, what then?

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to endure it!

"Jin-kun, why?"

"Even though it happened right in front of me, I still can't understand it."

"The matter could have been clarified with just a little investigation, so why didn't the Hokage investigate and instead just admitted it?"

"You know, the Uchiha clan today are so arrogant and domineering that they don't even take the Hokage seriously!"

"More than twenty Jonin from Root died, and three Anbu members were crippled."

"Before the Hokage arrived, his anger and killing intent made me think that he was going to take action against Uchiha."

"But how did it turn out like this?"

"I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, but I still don't understand it."

"There's even a sense of unreality to it; I still feel uneasy."

Fugaku looked puzzled.

Although he is not very capable, he is very humble.

It's possible to be willing to ask questions even if you're not ashamed to ask those less knowledgeable.

Since I couldn't figure it out, I naturally asked.

Uchiha Jin made no attempt to hide anything.

He explained the intricacies of the matter in almost every detail.

Then, he spoke softly.

"The principle is that simple."

"The stance that Hiruzen Sarutobi initially adopted was actually just to scare us."

"If we feel guilty or start to panic, it will be easy for us to give ourselves away."

"But once the Hokage finds a weakness, we'll be like meat on a chopping board, completely at his mercy."

"Essentially, he's bluffing!"

"After all, just think about it, would he dare admit to being from Root?"

"Without any reason, why would Root raid the police department in the middle of the night? Did the Uchiha really commit some crime?"

"And the same goes for the Dark Division."

"Once it's acknowledged that those three are Anbu members, then the Hokage must explain why those three Anbu members stirred up trouble in the crowd during the day and attempted to frame the police department?"

"Without a suitable reason, does he still have any authority as Hokage?"

"So, that's it."

"Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi is the Hokage, he still has to follow the rules."

"I'm telling you all this today to remind you that in the future, when you meet with the village's leaders, no matter what the situation is, don't panic."

"Think carefully before you speak."

"If you're really not sure, just stay silent and then ask me again."

"The hearts of these high-ranking officials in Konoha are exceptionally filthy."

"Chieftain, you are an honest man, so please don't be fooled."

"From now on, leave all matters related to dealing with the village to me. As long as you, clan chief, can keep the situation stable within the clan and prevent anyone with ulterior motives from causing trouble for us, that's all that matters."

Yes.

Uchiha Jin: Don't do things in vain.

Since I wasn't asleep late at night, I was telling Fugaku these things to give him a heads-up.

Tonight's events have shown him the difference in ability.

Now we know just how dirty the methods of Konoha's higher-ups really are!

The core meaning is very simple.

Clan leader, you're too naive. You're incapable of fighting against the higher-ups in Konoha.

So, try to think more positively.

From now on, all matters concerning the Uchiha clan and Konoha can be left to Uchiha Jin.

Your job is to keep the clan stable and prevent certain individuals from causing trouble.

Simply put, don't cause trouble!

His biggest fear was that he would achieve something today, only to have Fugaku send him to his death the very next day.

Don't doubt it.

Not just Fugaku, the entire Uchiha clan is brainless.

I got ripped off, and now I have to help them count the money!

Fugaku Uchiha: "..."

His lips twitched.

Jhin has made it quite clear; if he still doesn't understand, then he'll truly become a fool.

Isn't it obvious that she dislikes herself?

However, think about it.

His skill level is indeed lacking; he's no match for these old fogies.

So, forget it!

Taking a deep breath, Fugaku shook his head helplessly.

"Jin-jun, don't worry."

"From now on, I will not even leave the clan's territory unless absolutely necessary."

"Is this alright?"

"And make sure to keep a close eye on these troublemakers and absolutely prevent them from causing you any trouble."

"From now on, even if the Hokage holds a meeting, you will represent the Uchiha clan."

"However, be very careful."
