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

He was in a good mood.

They probed the Uchiha clan and weakened Danzo's Root organization.

Good!

Just as he was about to get up and go home to sleep, his office door was opened.

Moved to Koharu (bjfg), Mito Menyan, Shimura Danzo.

The three-person combo is about to begin!

"Hiruzen, we must be careful of that Uchiha Jin."

"Yes, Hiruzen, he's definitely a dangerous person."

"The Uchiha clan is already troublesome enough, and now there's someone who understands political maneuvering. We have to find a way to suppress them."

"..."

The three of them spoke in turn.

Yes.

Today, Uchiha Jin's methods truly terrified them.

The Uchiha clan is troublesome enough, but with this new one, won't they be even more difficult to deal with in the future?

They're panicking!

Even Danzo slammed his fist on the table.

"Hiruzen, why won't you listen to me?"

"We've already surrounded Uchiha Jin. With just a little sacrifice, we can definitely kill him outright."

"why?"

Yes.

Danzo was furious.

The damage to the roots this time was so great that he could hardly accept it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained calm.

He glanced at them briefly before speaking in a low voice, "What wrong did the Uchiha commit? What reason did you give for killing them? Did you really think those ninja clans listened to us?"

"This..." Danzo shut up.

Mitokado Homura nodded: "Hiruzen is right, Danzo, you were too impulsive."

"Although we can't kill Uchiha Jin, we can't let him go easily either." Koharu Utatane said coldly, "Hiruzen, I suggest we send Uchiha Jin to the battlefield."

“Send him wherever it is dangerous.”

"Anyway, Uchiha Jin has already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, so suppressing him won't do much good."

"His strength lies in his kaleidoscope."

"And each Uchiha's eye power is limited, so we'll use the battlefield to deplete their eye power!"

"I suggest transferring him to the front lines in the Land of Grass!"

As Xiaochun, who was switching dorms, spoke, the entire room fell silent.

Then, a moment later.

Both Mitokado Homura and Shimura Danzo nodded directly.

This method is good!

only.

After listening, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke in a low, somber tone.

"Hmm, that's a good idea."

"But under what pretext?"

"Never forget one thing: when Uchiha Jin was promoted to elder, he automatically withdrew from the ninja ranks."

"Therefore, under normal circumstances, the village has no right to conscript people."

"As a senior member of the Uchiha clan, even if you come to their door to make a request, they have the right to refuse."

"As for threats, pressure, and deception, you have all witnessed them today. Uchiha Jin is not someone who can be easily fooled."

"You can only entice, not force, these kinds of people!"

"If you want him to go to the battlefield himself, you must give him enough benefits."

“Even if he were sent to the battlefield, Uchiha Jin would have the right to refuse orders from the front-line command camp.”

"As a senior member of the Uchiha clan, he has the authority to make his own decisions even if he goes to the front lines."

"Is it really worth paying such a high price?"

"Think it over carefully, and then we can continue our discussion."

"...".

Chapter 100: The Uchiha's Counterattack, Konoha's F4 Suffers a Great Headache

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke in a somber tone.

He glanced indifferently at the three people present, then picked up his pipe again and began to puff away.

As for the three elders of Konoha, they all fell silent.

Yes.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

It was only after Hiruzen Sarutobi reminded them that they realized that Uchiha Jin had already left the ranks of ninjas.

Konoha Village.

It doesn't follow a centralized approach; it's more like a federal-alliance system.

After all, the establishment of Konoha Village was mainly based on the Senju and Uchiha clans.

Then, the Ino-Shika-Cho, Sarutobi, Hyuga, and other ninja clans responded to the call, along with countless smaller ninja clans, and the village was gradually built up.

In this situation, the village's leadership is similar to that of the Zhou Dynasty emperor.

The various ninja clans under its jurisdiction are not considered subordinate to the village, but rather more like various feudal states.

According to the agreement reached by the various ninja clans when Konoha was founded.

The elders and other high-ranking members of each ninja clan have autonomy and can refuse to be summoned by the village.

They could even retain some elites who wouldn't join the ninja ranks but would serve the clan.

The village's higher-ups only have administrative power over major administrative departments such as the Ninja Academy and the hospital, as well as public areas such as civilian areas. Even during wartime, they only have the right to command the ninja ranks.

The various ninja clans were governed internally by themselves.

The village has no right to interfere!

Under these circumstances, Uchiha Jin withdrew from the ninja ranks, and the village naturally could not force him to do so.

We can only discuss it with others and appeal to them.

But whether the villagers are willing to accept it or not is not up to the village to decide.

Even if someone responds to the call and is willing to fight, you can't command them once they're on the battlefield.

They can refuse orders!

The reason why Hatake Susumu was able to commit suicide because he was manipulated by the village's higher-ups after failing his mission was that he accepted the mission not as the head of the Hatake clan, but as the captain of the Dark Guard.

The village can't control the Hatake clan chief, but it can control the captain of the ANBU!

However, this technique had no effect whatsoever on Uchiha Jin.

Although he held the title of police minister, the police department was only responsible for village security and did not have any external assassination or intelligence gathering duties.

As a senior member of the Uchiha clan, he voluntarily withdrew from the ninja ranks.

Even if they do participate in the war, it would be the ninja clan helping them.

This is why the three Konoha elders in front of them are completely dumbfounded.

Trying to control Uchiha Jin is just too, too difficult!

silence.

In the Hokage's office, the three elders frowned slightly, all deep in thought.

About ten minutes later.

After finishing his pipe, Sarutobi Hikaru spoke softly only after stubbing out the tobacco.

"Okay, don't think about it."
