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

"Lord Hokage!"

"I apologize for visiting so late at night, because my transfer order was urgent, and I was afraid something might really happen."

"I hope the Hokage will understand!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had a smile on his face.

He regained his kind and gentle expression, repeatedly saying that he didn't mind, and invited Nara Shikaku to sit down. He then personally brewed him a cup of tea.

After chatting casually for a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally regained his seriousness.

I briefly recounted what had happened in the village over the past two days before finally asking for more information.

"Shikaku, what do you think?"

So much has happened these past two days, my mind is still a mess.

"For things like this, I'll have to trouble you to think about them."

“We can talk about those things that are in the past later, but this Uchiha Shisui is another one.”

"What should I do with him?"

Chapter 225 Nara's domineering aura shines through as he effortlessly takes care of Nohara Rin!

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked relaxed.

He felt an indescribable satisfaction with Nara Shikaku in front of him.

Yes.

He rushed back to the village late at night, not even having time to go home and let them know he was safe, and instead came to his own village first.

This attitude alone made him quite happy.

Although the Ino-Shika-Cho trio are not part of his inner circle, as long as he remains in power, given their personalities, they will wholeheartedly scheme for him.

You can absolutely trust them!

As for what to do after I lose my rights?

Ha ha.

He would never willingly relinquish power until all the major ninja clans were completely wiped out and the Sarutobi clan gained complete control of Konoha.

As for failure?

He had never considered this question before, because his long-standing success had given him enough confidence.

He can handle the Senju clan on his own, so what's a mere Uchiha? Even if a Uchiha Jin rises up, he's still confident he can completely defeat him.

And that is precisely why.

He naturally maintained absolute trust in Nara Shikaku in front of him.

If you don't listen...

Taking down the Uchiha clan might be difficult, but killing the Ino-Shika-Cho trio would be a piece of cake for him.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Nara Shikaku fell into deep thought.

After listening to Hiruzen Sarutobi's explanation, even he felt a great headache.

Good guy!

So much has happened in just two days?

Rin Nohara was stuffed with the Three-Tails on the battlefield, so it's easy to imagine that Kirigakure will definitely come looking for the Tailed Beast in the future.

It was just a matter of sacrificing one ninja for the sake of the village's peace.

This is nothing in itself.

But the crucial point is that this person is a disciple of Minato Namikaze!

Nara Shikaku knows Minato Namikaze very well.

Want him to give up? Absolutely not!

Because of this incident, the Hokage and Minato had a falling out, but before Hiruzen Sarutobi could come up with a solution, Danzo launched a surprise attack on Minato Namikaze's house tonight and almost kidnapped Rin Nohara.

Good guy!

If Danzo isn't dealt with, Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi will definitely become disloyal and alienated.

But it's alright.

The handling of Hiruzen Sarutobi was barely acceptable.

He pondered for a long time.

Nara Shikaku spoke slowly.

"The matter at Watergate is, in my opinion, easy to resolve."

"Since we can't persuade Minato, and you, Hokage, don't want things to get too tense with him, we can try starting with Rin Nohara."

"Because of the frontline commander, the Watergate team is a key target of attention."

"So I know that girl fairly well."

"She is a very innocent and kind child, and most importantly, she has a personality that doesn't want to cause trouble for others!"

“Minato fought so hard for him, she must have felt very uncomfortable.”

"Let's think of a way and find a time."

"Hokage, please have a private conversation with Rin Nohara and talk to her about the Will of Fire and the greater good of the village. Use the principle of peace to force her to choose to sacrifice herself."

"In that case, Minato will have nothing to say."

"After all, choosing to sacrifice herself was Nohara Rin's own choice!"

"Minato is a ninja who understands the greater good; he wouldn't cause trouble even for the sake of the village."

"Lord Hokage, you can rest assured."

"At worst, I can find an opportunity to have a proper talk with Minato after this is over."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up.

Yes!

Although Minato might disagree, Rin Nohara's willingness to sacrifice herself would naturally shut Minato up.

How could I not have thought of such a simple truth?

"Great idea!" Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed repeatedly, "We really have to thank Shikaku for this!"

"Don't laugh at me, but I spent the whole night worrying about it, and I just couldn't find a solution."

"But, unexpectedly."

"Lu Jiu, you found a solution so quickly."

"What about the Uchiha clan? Shikaku, what are your thoughts?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi amazed everyone.

He was completely convinced of Nara Shikaku's wisdom and skill.

The problem that had been bothering me for so long was solved so easily.

clothes!

I can't accept it!

Having considered this, he even secretly made up his mind.

Even if war breaks out again in the future, Nara Shikaku will never be sent to the front line unless absolutely necessary.

You should keep smart people like that around.

No matter what difficulties I encounter, having someone like this by my side makes me feel much more at ease.

Now that the Watergate issue has been resolved, he feels much more at ease.

Regarding Minato Namikaze.

Although he was destined to become a puppet Hokage, he was still a Hokage after all.

For the sake of his own plans, he certainly didn't want things to get too tense.

Followed by.

He naturally began to inquire about matters concerning the Uchiha clan.

"The Uchiha clan, huh?" Nara Shikaku said quietly, "I need to think about it carefully."

"Unlike before, there are intelligent people in the Uchiha clan now!"
