Chapter 232

However, it was a pity.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly.

He looked at the three of them faintly, then couldn't help but sigh and lit his pipe again.

He began to puff away, while Danzo and the other two were stunned.

"Hiruzen, this won't work either?" Danzo couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm, it won't!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said softly: "I considered the Jonin Council just now."

"But I rejected it because it likely won't have any effect."

"I said just now, don't underestimate Uchiha Jin; he is different from other Uchiha."

"I already told you, the banner the Uchiha are flying this time is that the village hasn't provided funding to the Police Force for a long time."

"If we really hold a Jonin Council, will the village provide this money or not?"

The Konoha F3 were dumbfounded again.

Damn it.

Why doesn't it work either?

Is this Uchiha Jin really that hard to deal with?

For a time,

the three elders were all silent.

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"This is an open conspiracy!"

"Uchiha Jin doesn't hide it at all; he puts it out there openly, not afraid of us investigating it."

"Why?"

"Because this trap, even if we know about it in advance, has no way to be broken."

"Go back and think carefully about how we can break this trap."

"We still have time, so there's no need to be too anxious."

"As for sending Uchiha Jin to the battlefield or whatever, let's solve the matter at hand first."

"It's getting late, you all go back."

Indeed.

Through the attitude of the three people in front of him, Hiruzen Sarutobi understood that his three friends were very incompetent.

He couldn't count on them to handle Uchiha Jin.

So, thinking of this,

he naturally had no interest in wasting words with them, and after giving a few simple instructions, he started to shoo them away.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado looked at each other and turned to leave.

Only Danzo remained.

After the two left, he spoke coldly.

"Hiruzen, I am different from you."

"You endure when you suffer a loss, which is why you are called the 'Professor' (Ninja Hero)!"

"I can't do that."

"Root suffered too much loss today; I will definitely retaliate."

"I don't hope for you to stop me. Goodbye!"

After speaking,

Danzo turned and left directly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Danzo, I can't force you."

"But I still advise you to be cautious; Uchiha Jin is not an ordinary Uchiha."

"As long as you break the rules of the game and use methods like assassination, Uchiha Jin will definitely retaliate against you in kind."

"If you dare to assassinate a Uchiha, he will dare to assassinate a Shimura."

"In that case, I won't be able to stand up for you."

"Think it over!"

Indeed.

Although he had only met Uchiha Jin once and they had only chatted a few times,

for a politician like him, seeing the big picture from small details was a basic skill, and he had a basic understanding of what kind of temper Uchiha Jin had.

Not to mention Danzo.

He knew his old friend's temperament better than anyone.

Plus, Root had suffered heavy losses tonight, and he didn't want Root to suffer too much damage.

But, on the other side,

regarding Hiruzen Sarutobi's good intentions, Danzo remained silent for a long time.

In the end,

he didn't say a word and turned to leave.

Sigh!

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.

After shaking his head helplessly, knowing he couldn't persuade him, he sighed and stopped caring.

After all, if it's going to rain or a mother is going to remarry, there's nothing he, the Hokage, can do!

He took a puff of his pipe and looked at the night outside the window.

After a long time...

He leaned over, picked up a pen, wrote a letter, and then called an Anbu.

"Black Crow, head to the Grass Country."

"Give this letter to Shikaku Nara and have him reply to me as soon as possible."

"Go."

Indeed.

For matters that required using one's brain, he was most willing to find Shikaku Nara.

Although the Ino-Shika-Cho weren't his die-hard supporters, these three clans were the traditional Hokage faction.

Whoever is Hokage, they pledge loyalty to.

As long as he remained in the Hokage position, Shikaku Nara was worth trusting.

And, on the other side.

Danzo, having returned to the Root secret chamber, smashed the table.

Since ascending to the position of Konoha Elder and Root leader, he had never suffered such a big loss.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got; the more he retreated, the more he felt he lost.

He couldn't endure it!

"Damn Uchiha, I will definitely not let you off."

"Someone come!"

Following Danzo's command, a Root member knelt on one knee.

"Lord Danzo!"

"From today on, withdraw all Root members from the front lines." Danzo pondered for a moment before saying coldly: "Monitor every member of the Uchiha; if there is any opportunity, assassinate them directly."

"I remember that on the Grass Country front, the Uchiha genius ninja Shisui is still performing missions there, right?"

"Notify the Grass Country front; all Root members are to launch an assassination operation against him."

"By any means necessary, at all costs!"

"I want Shisui dead!"

"And, from today on."

"As long as it's the Uchiha clan, regardless of whether they are ninjas or civilians,"

"kill them all!"
