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

Other ninja clans wouldn't speak up for the Uchiha, so there's no problem with doing so.

But things are different now.

The sudden emergence of Uchiha Jin completely changed this.

In this situation, the length of the argument is not important.

The most important thing is to make up for your weaknesses and make yourself without any weaknesses.

and so.

It doesn't matter if we make up the police department's funding as soon as possible, or even lower our stance.

Because, that's the only way.

Only by completely eliminating this weakness can we become much more at ease when dealing with the Uchiha in the future.

Otherwise.

Even if we devise many schemes now, even if we can eventually break the deadlock...

But what can be done?

His shortcomings remain; even as Hokage, he still has flaws.

Even if the Uchiha lose this time, they will still exploit this weakness and plot a second, third, or even countless times.

Take a step back, the sky is brighter.

He who does not plan for the long term is not fit to plan for the short term.

Those who cannot plan for the whole cannot plan for a part.

This is the same principle as playing chess; it is most foolish to argue over a short time.

and so.

The more you do, the more you make mistakes.

In this matter, the Uchiha have gained the upper hand.

This is their home turf!

The worst thing you can do in warfare is to fight in someone else's territory.

Since admitting defeat won't have much of an impact, and will only cost some money, why not just admit defeat quickly?

Admit defeat quickly and end the war.

Then they will carefully plan and prepare for the next confrontation.

After the layout is complete.

Allowing your opponent to fight on your home turf allows you to remain calm and composed, giving you more control.

Moreover, there is another advantage to doing this.

That is, to make the opponent lower their guard and think that we are nothing special, thus reducing their vigilance.

The probability of success will be higher when making plans in the future.

Throw in the towel.

This is for greater success!

“That makes sense!” Hiruzen Sarutobi said quietly, “I really am obsessed.”

"I almost got myself into a dead end because of such a trivial matter."

"As expected of Nara Shikaku, I am truly impressed."

“Lu Jiu is right. Since this road is blocked, let’s try another one.”

"From now on, there will be many more days ahead."

"Uchiha Jin, I'll remember you!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, filled with emotion.

Once he understood this, he suddenly felt enlightened.

A feeling of pure joy washes over me, both physically and mentally!

Sitting behind his desk, he continued to puff on his cigarette for a while before speaking softly into the air.

"Summon the three elders."

"Follow the order!"

A figure from the shadows appeared, knelt on one knee in greeting, and then left the room.

Time slowly passed.

About an hour later, the three elders finally arrived.

"Hiruzen, things are completely chaotic."

"The Uchiha have gone too far. Their actions are irresponsible towards the villagers."

"They must be dealt with!"

Xiaochun turned to her room, her face pale.

She's had a terrible headache these past few days, especially looking at the messy village.

She really wanted to rush to the police department and kill those inhuman bastards without hesitation.

That's absolutely outrageous!

If you Uchiha are dissatisfied with the village's higher-ups, then come and fight us fair and square!

To destabilize the village and use the villagers as leverage to pressure higher authorities?

How shameless!

Yes.

That's called double standards!

They weren't this angry when they used this trick to frame Hatake Sakumo back then.

“Xiaochun is right, I fully support her.” Mitokado Homura immediately spoke up: “These damned Uchiha, they are the cancer of Konoha.”

"We must find a way to completely wipe out this group of Uchiha."

His face was ashen.

Obviously.

The actions of the Uchiha clan during this period have indeed infuriated him.

The key is.

Even if he was seething with anger, he couldn't vent it on the Uchiha.

Tell me, aren't you angry?

But, right now.

Danzo, who was most familiar with Hiruzen Sarutobi, couldn't help but speak up directly.

"Alright, Hiruzen!"

"Judging from your expression, you must have a solution."

"We're all on the same side, so stop pretending."

"Tell me what you're up to!"

"I've been annoyed with the Uchiha for a long time now, and I just want to kill them as soon as possible."

Danzo looked completely confident.

Yes.

He noticed the problem the moment he entered.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is too reliable.

He was quite familiar with this state, which showed that he was confident.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

It was only after Danzo spoke that Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado belatedly realized this.

The two of them couldn't help but speak up immediately.

"Hiruzen, hurry up and tell me."

"I'm also very curious, what exactly is the method?"

For a while.

The three of them stared intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
