Chapter 122

Fugaku Uchiha fell silent!

He really hadn't expected that the elders in the clan would be so well-informed.

Since they learned about this, it had been at most five hours, and the elders in the clan already knew.

No need to guess.

He knew it must be someone on the front line using the Ninja Cat clan to pass information to the clan.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke softly.

"I have heard your considerations."

"However, this is wartime, and all clans in the Leaf are under the command of the Leaf high-level officials."

"Without the Hokage's consent, I cannot make such arrangements at will."

"But, don't be anxious."

"I have already reported this matter to the Leaf high-level officials through special channels."

"Regarding the arrangements for Jin-kun, I think we will get accurate news in no more than two days."

"And during this time, the safety of Jin-kun will have to be left to you all!"

Yes.

Even though Uchiha Jin had awakened the Mangekyo.

He still didn't think about truly going head-to-head with the Leaf high-level officials.

He tried to keep the clan stable, and as for changing the Uchiha's reputation in the Leaf, he placed his hope on the next Hokage.

To put it bluntly.

He was a person without much ability, and essentially not suitable to be a clan head.

It was just that when Madara Uchiha left the Leaf, the Uchiha clan pushed his lineage to the position of clan head in order to live in peace with the village.

What they valued was the weakness of this lineage!

Great ambition but little wisdom, fierce in appearance but cowardly in heart, jealous and lacking authority.

Many and unclear orders, proud generals and inconsistent decrees.

These words were used to evaluate Yuan Shao, but they were actually quite applicable to Fugaku Uchiha.

The facts were indeed so.

Hearing Fugaku's words, everyone felt very unhappy.

This is the Mangekyo Sharingan!

For the entire Uchiha, the importance is self-evident.

Such a strategic and important thing, how could you simply leave it to the village to handle?

The Leaf high-level officials are the opposing camp!

It would be fine to respect the village high-level officials in some small matters, but this kind of thing, which could be called a strategic nuclear bomb...

Sigh!

Everyone looked at each other and all let out a helpless sigh.

They had no choice!

If it were within the clan, the elders would have the right to speak.

But they couldn't!

They were just some jonin; how could they not obey the decision made by the clan head?

"This, understood!"

"We will protect Uchiha Jin well!"

Several jonin nodded and then retreated.

Fugaku Uchiha: "..."

He could naturally see that these clansmen had opinions about him.

Even he himself knew that if the village learned about the Mangekyo Sharingan, they would definitely take small actions.

But he was also helpless.

The village itself was targeting the Uchiha, and now it was wartime; if he took the lead in not respecting the village's decisions, the rift between the Uchiha and the village would deepen.

Therefore.

He would rather take a risk.

It must be said that his considerations were also reasonable.

But, unfortunately.

He couldn't see the big picture at all.

Even if he respected the Leaf high-level officials this time and put on a posture of obeying orders, Hiruzen Sarutobi would not feel the slightest bit of gratitude toward him, but would instead become even more aggressive.

Conversely, if he didn't listen.

Because there were indeed special circumstances, and the Leaf hadn't yet made layout plans truly targeting the Uchiha.

Therefore.

The Leaf would actually say nothing, at most cursing a few times behind his back.

And that would be it!

Perhaps they would even be more wary because of this, but they would be even more afraid to take action.

Instead, Fugaku's behavior was a direct display of cowardice, which would make Hiruzen Sarutobi look down on him even more.

Fearing power but not cherishing virtue, that's exactly it!

This was also the fundamental reason why Uchiha Jin chose to hide after transmigrating and couldn't be bothered to deal with Fugaku.

Getting close to this guy would sooner or later lead to being killed by him.

And this time.

It was just that there was no other way.

Leaf, Hokage Building.

In the Hokage office, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the letter in his hand, his face looking gloomy and uncertain.

Murderous intent overflowed in his eyes.

Because the thing he feared most had now happened after all.

Uchiha!

Ever since the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, why couldn't the Hokage faction tolerate the Uchiha?

This is the reason.

The Uchiha's Sharingan is just too unreasonable.

No matter how weak they are before awakening, once they awaken, their strength skyrockets immediately.

Secondly.

The Uchiha's brains also have problems!

Arrogance, looking down on people, etc., these don't matter.

The key to the problem is that the Uchiha's emotions are unstable.

Don't look at them as innocent and kind now; once stimulated, their temperament will change drastically.

If it were another ninja clan, it wouldn't matter.

Even if your temperament changes, it won't cause too much loss.

The Uchiha, however, are different.

After their temperament changes, their strength will increase by a large margin.

Obito Uchiha is the representative figure.

Before awakening, he was a dead last in his class; just because he saw the death of Rin Nohara, his temperament changed drastically, and his strength skyrocketed countless times.

Relying on the bug-like Kamui, even Minato Namikaze, who had earned the title of Yellow Flash, couldn't handle Obito.

Facing such an unstable ninja clan, the Senju brothers didn't care.

The two brothers.

Either their strength was strong enough, or their methods were powerful enough.

In short, they didn't take the mere Uchiha seriously.
