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

Is the Senju clan really so magnanimous as to let all their members go to their deaths?

He could only remain silent.

Uchiha Jin, however, did not stop.

"Let's leave the Senju clan aside for now and talk about your wife's Uzumaki clan."

"The Uzumaki clan lives right next to the Land of Fire. When the other three great nations targeted the Uzumaki clan, were the Konoha border guards completely blind and deaf?"

"You didn't even hear a hint beforehand? Do you believe that, Minato-san?"

"Even if Konoha had its own difficulties at the time, sending some experts to oversee the situation should have been enough to protect at least a group of Uzumaki clan members, right?"

"But no!"

"And what's even stranger is that when the Vortex Clan was wiped out, a group of Vortex immigrants also escaped."

"But not a single one of these people fled towards the Land of Fire; instead, they all circled around the Land of Fire."

"Aren't Konoha and Uzumaki staunch allies?"

Why would those immigrants make this choice?

"Brother Minato, come on, explain yourself?"

Minato Namikaze could only remain silent.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his brain began to work at high speed.

He tried to find a reason to refute it, but he just couldn't.

He had nothing to say but to remain silent.

After a long time.

Uchiha Jin finally spoke softly.

"Of the entire Uzumaki clan, only one, Shiki, survived, who is also Minato's wife."

"But why Konoha wanted to save Kushina, right? Minato should understand better than anyone else."

"Because he has value!"

"Everyone in the ninja world knows that only the Uzumaki clan's unique physique can contain the Nine-Tails, the strongest creature in the ninja world."

"You know, back then, Lady Mito was still alive."

"As the wife of the First Hokage and the first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she couldn't protect her husband's Senju clan above, nor could she protect her wife's Uzumaki clan below."

"Without anyone to protect them, how can the Uchiha clan expect to have a better fate than the Senju and Uzumaki clans if they don't put in the effort themselves?"

"I'm not Hatake Sakumo!"

Minato Namikaze is having a slight headache.

On one hand, he felt that he really couldn't refute what Uchiha Jin said.

But more.

His long-established values, however, made it impossible for him to accept them.

Frustrated, he couldn't help but retort, "What does this have to do with Hatake Sakumo-senpai?"

"I'll say it again, use your brain!" Uchiha Jin said quietly, "Back then, Hatake Sakumo carried out an S-rank mission, so how did it spread throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village so quickly?"

"What happened to the principle of confidentiality? Did it get eaten by the dogs?"

Minato Namikaze choked again.

Uh.

It seems that this is really the case!

I hadn't thought about this in detail before, but after being reminded by Uchiha Jin, I realized that the village has a rule of secrecy.

B-rank missions must be kept secret, so why did S-rank missions spread throughout Konoha?

This is definitely not right.

The key issue is that after Hatake's death, the village didn't even hold anyone accountable for the leak!

He was numb.

I feel there's a huge gap between what I know about the village and the reality.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Uchiha Jin felt it was about right, and then said in a low voice.

"Brother Minato, think it over carefully."

"Why is it your master Jiraiya, as well as Tsunade, Jiraiya and other disciples of the third generation?"

"Why did they all leave the village and refuse to stay?"

"Especially your master Jiraiya, who keeps clamoring to find some kind of savior?"

"To put it bluntly, it's about escaping."

"Because he can't solve the village's problems, and to solve them he has to break with Hiruzen Sarutobi."

"Jiraiya couldn't do it, because that was his master."

"So he could only place his hopes for change on that so-called savior."

"Jiraiya is Minato's apprentice. You can really calm down and talk to your master."

"Then you'll know whether I was lying or not!"

Chapter 135 Jhin Unleashes His Ultimate Move, Preparing to Make a Bet

Just like dealing with Shisui, it's the same old routine.

Actually, it's just as useful.

Minato Namikaze remained silent, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Right now, his mind is in a mess.

"This……"

"I can't argue with you, but I still feel something's not right."

"how can that be possible?"

He murmured.

Obviously.

These words from Uchiha Jin were indeed a huge blow to his ambition to become Hokage.

However, regarding this...

Uchiha Jin remained calm.

After a moment of contemplation, he shrugged and said.

"Actually, none of these things matter."

"I'm saying all this just to tell you, Brother Minato, that the Uchiha I lead only wants to protect themselves."

"I'm not really interested in ambitious people or anything like that."

Minato Namikaze nodded.

After hearing these explanations, regardless of whether you believe them or not, since Uchiha Jin thinks this way, then his reason for protecting himself is plausible.

but.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't help but speak.

"Why are you telling me this?" Minato Namikaze took a sip of tea and smiled bitterly. "I'm just a Jonin, I can't help the Uchiha."

"You don't need to try and win me over, do you?"

He has self-awareness.

His relationship with Jhin was just so-so, and the reason he sought out Jhin to chat this time was actually to find an answer.

Put it simply.

He just wanted to know whether they would be enemies or friends from now on.

But, unexpectedly.

Uchiha Jin simply said a lot.

This really flattered him; it was like they were treating him like a close friend!

He didn't believe in unearned kindness; he firmly believed that Uchiha Jin had his own reasons.

Now, he wants to know.

Uchiha Jin pondered for a long time.
