Chapter 257

Fugaku's character is actually quite decent, but when it comes to ability, he is truly not up to the task!

Hiruzen Sarutobi hasn't even made a move yet, just assuming an offensive stance, and that alone has scared you into this state.

How is this battle supposed to be fought?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but advise.

"Clan Leader, you really aren't doing well!"

"You are the leader of a clan, the supreme head of the Uchiha."

"Others can panic, but you absolutely cannot!"

"Even if you were to die the next second, right now you must maintain an air as steady as a mountain, so that those below you won't panic."

"The Hokage hasn't even acted yet, and you've already scared yourself half to death; what do you expect the rest of the clan to think?"

"If the Clan Leader is afraid, what about them?"

"If Hiruzen Sarutobi were to see you like this, he would probably laugh himself to death."

"So, change it."

"Even if you are panicking to death inside, at the very least, don't show it!"

Fugaku Uchiha's mouth twitched.

Being lectured by a child, he was truly in a tight spot now.

But, he had to admit.

What the other party said actually made sense, which left him feeling very helpless.

After shaking his head, he could only speak.

"This... I understand!"

"I will definitely change in the future, but let's talk about the matter at hand first."

"The situation with the Hokage is very wrong; Jin-kun, what exactly are you thinking?"

Clearly.

What he cared about most right now was the Hokage's next move.

Jin Uchiha was truly helpless.

But it seemed that in the short term, there was no way to change Fugaku.

So, he pondered for a moment.

After taking a deep breath, he still spoke helplessly.

"Clan Leader Fugaku, there is really no need to be anxious."

"Although I don't understand what the Hokage is trying to do, there is one thing I am very certain of."

"Right now, it is wartime!"

"Before the war ends, even if Hiruzen Sarutobi hates us to death, he absolutely would not dare to make a move against the Uchiha."

"The logic is simple."

"The front lines are still at war with three great ninja villages; if he starts fighting the Uchiha in the rear..."

"Even if Konoha is the strongest ninja village, can it really hold up?"

"Even if they could eventually wipe out the Uchiha, would a battered and exhausted Konoha still have the strength to deal with the three great ninja villages?"

"If such a thing were to happen, even the Hidden Mist, which signed a peace treaty, would likely tear up the agreement and declare war on Konoha again, right?"

"After all, as long as the Hidden Mist isn't stupid, they would never give up on such an easy opportunity to profit."

"So, is Hiruzen Sarutobi stupid?"

"Do you think he wouldn't be able to think of something as simple as this?"

"Rest assured, I am certain the village wouldn't dare to move against the Uchiha!"

"Since that's the case, what is there to fear?"

"As long as Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't dare to move against the Uchiha, even if he can only use methods like co-opting or smearing, causing internal strife in the Uchiha on one hand and spreading rumors about the Uchiha within the village on the other..."

"And such trivial matters can be handled as they come."

"So, stay calm!"

"What the Uchiha needs now is to calm down; don't let the village's actions disrupt our own rhythm."

"Meet soldiers with weapons, meet water with earth; don't be intimidated by the opponent."

"If the enemy doesn't move, I don't move!"

"Don't let us get scared to death before the enemy even attacks, causing the entire Uchiha to fall into chaos on its own."

"Neither the Uchiha nor the village wants to flip the table directly right now."

"In this situation, it's a battle of patience."

"Whoever panics first, dies!"

Jin Uchiha spoke earnestly.

To comfort his clan leader, he had really worn his tongue thin.

It was truly exhausting!

But, wait.

It's a battle of patience at this stage, so... hiss!

Suddenly.

He seemed to understand Hiruzen Sarutobi's strategy a little.

Thinking of this, he fell into silence.

His brain began to run frantically, relying on the clues he had thought of so far, attempting to deduce the situation without pause.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Fugaku had not noticed any of this; on the contrary, he had fallen completely into deep thought.

The impact of Uchiha Jin's words on him was simply too great.

One could even say.

The things Jin taught him were things he had never been told from childhood to adulthood.

The teachings of the Uchiha clan simply did not contain these things.

The Uchiha were very simple.

Make yourself as strong as possible, then awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, and finally restore the glory of the Uchiha.

Defeat the enemy and become the Hokage!

As for how to achieve this, it was always the same old tune.

Get stronger!

It couldn't be said that this was wrong; if one's pure martial power reached the pinnacle and could rival Senju Hashirama, then wanting to become Hokage really wouldn't be difficult.

But the problem was.

Since the appearance of ninjas until now, how many people had been able to reach that step?

Fortunately.

Heaven did not abandon the Uchiha.

It actually gifted the Uchiha clan such a figure who could be called a genius.

Not only was he powerful in terms of personal strength, but crucially, this way of thinking was exactly what the Uchiha lacked most.

After listening to Uchiha Jin give these few lessons, he really felt that he had become different.

Especially regarding his understanding of strategy and human nature, he had simply left his former self several blocks behind.

"Jin, you are right."

"I can also be considered to have recognized my own mistakes, and in the future, I will strive to become a competent clan head."

"After your analysis, I have also discovered that I was indeed too impatient."

"Before the war ends, the village would not dare to take action against the Uchiha."

"Yes!"

"No matter what Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks, we just need to follow our own rhythm."

"Thank you again; your help to the clan is too great."

Uchiha Fugaku sighed softly.
