Chapter 210

Hokage Building, third floor.

Late at night.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, was still sitting behind his desk processing official business.

Just then, an Anbu appeared.

He knelt on one knee and began to report in a flat tone.

"Lord Hokage, something has happened!"

"The three Anbu who were on a mission today have been detained by the Police Force."

"The reason for their detention is the suspicion that they are spies."

"Because of the special nature of the mission, the three Anbu could not reveal their identities."

"Especially since the Uchiha shouted on the spot that they would dig out the 'spy' secrets without using the Yamanaka clan, the Torture and Interrogation Force cannot intervene."

"Please decide how to resolve this matter, Lord Hokage!"

Hiss!

Hearing this report, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed slightly.

Then, he fell into silence.

Yes.

Just as Uchiha Jin guessed, the thief incident was arranged by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

There were even three Anbu cooperating for the sake of damaging Uchiha Jin's reputation.

He is too strong.

As an Uchiha who has awakened the Mangekyo, and without a shred of the 'Will of Fire'.

Since he cannot be obtained, he must be destroyed.

Let him fight with the radical faction; it doesn't matter who wins or loses.

As long as the Uchiha's strength can be consumed as much as possible, it is enough for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

And then, just wait.

As long as there is an opportunity, set a trap to kill him.

But, never expected—

such a simple mission, and you tell me it failed?

After a moment of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke softly...

"Alright, I know."

"You don't need to be responsible for this, you may leave."

Hearing this, the Anbu bowed and slowly exited the room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into thought.

His brain began to spin frantically, constantly thinking about how to handle this.

After a long time.

He spoke softly again.

"Black Crow!"

"Lord Hokage."

A ninja wearing a crow mask, hidden in the darkness, appeared silently in the room.

He knelt on one knee.

His demeanor was very respectful, quietly waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen's orders.

"You must act immediately and contact the spy lurking within the Uchiha."

"What happened in the Police Force today, especially things related to Uchiha Jin."

"I want to know every detail immediately."

This Anbu didn't waste words.

After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's order, he immediately turned into a puff of blue smoke and vanished.

Clearly.

The one standing here was just a Shadow Clone.

Time passed slowly.

About half an hour later, the Anbu named Black Crow walked into the room again.

He knelt on one knee, his tone calm.

"Lord Hokage, the situation is not good."

"According to the intelligence from the spy, Uchiha Jin has already confirmed the true identities of those three Anbu."

"But he still chose not to release them, and instead directed the Police Force to begin brutally beating the three Anbu."

"Nominally, it's called interrogating for information, but from the investigation, the Uchiha have no intention of interrogating; it looks more like they are beating them just for the sake of it."

"Except for hanging on by a thread, those three Anbu are already crippled."

"And..."

Speaking of this.

The Anbu hesitated slightly, not knowing whether to continue.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately said: "Continue."

"Yes!" The Anbu lowered his head.

Then, he didn't waste any more words.

He immediately recounted every detail of Uchiha Jin's arrangements.

Because Uchiha Jin had no intention of hiding it, the planted spy naturally understood it in great detail.

After finishing.

The Anbu's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat.

He is not stupid.

What do the Uchiha want to do, and what does this order represent?

He certainly knows!

But it is precisely because he knows that he is even more terrified.

Actually, let alone him.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen at this moment couldn't help but gasp.
