Chapter 230

"Trying to kill Uchiha Jin in the short term seems unrealistic now."

"Especially Uchiha Jin's temperament, which is completely different from other Uchiha; he gives me the feeling of being more like a Nara."

"This kind of guy is not easy to deal with!"

"So we all need to be prepared for a long-term struggle!"

"Let's put aside the matter of manipulating or killing Uchiha Jin for now; Uchiha Jin has given me a big problem."

"You should still help me think about how to handle this matter."

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not hide anything.

He trusted the few people present absolutely.

So,

he told them everything about his test of Uchiha Jin today and Uchiha Jin's planned counterattack.

Koharu Utatane: "..."

Homura Mitokado: "..."

Danzo Shimura: "..."

The three looked at each other, all dumbfounded.

Their minds were blank, and they looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi in astonishment.

Indeed.

They couldn't believe that this was a bad idea that a Uchiha's brain could come up with?

"This, is it possible?" Koharu Utatane said with a face full of astonishment: "That bunch of Uchiha can come up with such a bad idea?"

Homura Mitokado took a deep breath and said gravely: "We must stop this, otherwise, once it ferments, it will deal a severe blow to Hiruzen's prestige."

Danzo was also silent.

Although he didn't speak, his brain began to run at high speed.

Indeed.

Don't look at how he and Hiruzen Sarutobi were always fighting; that was limited to their internal affairs.

Facing external enemies, especially the Uchiha, he could still distinguish priorities.

After a long time,

he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"This bunch of damn Uchiha!"

"It's all because you were too soft-hearted, Hiruzen; when the Senju were wiped out, our prestige in the village was at its highest."

"We should have taken that opportunity to kill the Uchiha in one go."

"But you wouldn't listen to me, humph!"

Indeed.

Back when the Senju announced their retirement and completely integrated into the village, he had proposed killing the Uchiha directly.

But, it was a pity.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't listen to him, which naturally made him angry.

However, regarding this,

Hiruzen Sarutobi only remained silent, not bothering to pay attention to Danzo at all.

"Alright, Danzo." Homura Mitokado spoke directly: "When the Senju were destroyed, all ninja clans were in fear for their own safety."

"If we had forcibly dealt with the Uchiha, it would only have made all the ninja clans wary and suspicious of us."

"The strategy of boiling a frog in warm water is something we all agreed on."

Koharu Utatane nodded slightly.

Regarding this point, it really couldn't be said to be Hiruzen Sarutobi's fault.

After pondering for a moment, she said coldly.

"I agree with Homura; Danzo, you are going too far."

"The most important thing now is to quickly find a way to expose the Uchiha's conspiracy."

"I think we should spread rumors."

"Just like we dealt with Sakumo Hatake; as long as we make all the ninja clans hostile to the Uchiha, then no matter what the Uchiha do, no one will trust them!"

However.

Regarding Koharu Utatane's method, Homura Mitokado shook his head directly.

"Impossible, it won't work."

Danzo heard this and sneered, saying with disdain: "This trick works on others, but not on the Uchiha."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slowly.

He agreed with Danzo's statement.

After pondering for a long time, he said helplessly.

"Under our promotion, the Uchiha's reputation is already bad enough."

"Even if we smear them, how much worse can it get?"

"The Uchiha's reputation is already rotten to the core; even if we smear them more, others won't feel anything."

"The Uchiha have already given up on their image; they just pretend not to hear."

"What can you do?"

"Unless the Uchiha rebel directly now, simple rumors and gossip are useless."

Everyone was silent.

At this moment, they truly felt a headache.

The Uchiha were indeed hard to deal with.

Just like the entertainment industry in the previous life, if a movie star with a good image suddenly had scandals emerge and their persona collapsed, it would naturally attract everyone's attention and condemnation.

But what about someone who is already "black-red" (infamous)?

They are already black to the core; if you smear them again, what can you do?

On the contrary, you're just giving them traffic!

If a "black-red" person knew, they would only sigh, "There's such a good thing?"

"Thanks, old buddy!"
