Chapter 290: Hiruzen Sarutobi's defense is broken; that damn tea is mine!

Uchiha Jin's tone was grave.

Although Uchiha Setsuna hadn't caused trouble during last night's operation, he still couldn't feel at ease about the guy.

He could tell.

The look in that guy's eyes when he looked at him was filled with malice and murderous intent.

It was just that...

Last night's events were too significant, involving the very survival of the Uchiha.

That was why the guy didn't dare to cause trouble; if there were no external threats, he would definitely seize the opportunity to stir things up.

Fugaku nodded.

Although he hadn't thought as much as Jin, he knew that Uchiha Setsuna, as the leader of the radical faction, would absolutely not want to see his own power slip away.

"Jin-kun, don't worry."

"It hasn't been easy for the Uchiha to get to where we are today, and I will never allow anyone to cause trouble."

"Apart from my family, the clan is the most important thing in my heart!"

"I don't care much for power; if the clan truly stabilizes, I wouldn't mind giving up this position of Clan Head."

"But, not now."

"There's a time and place for power struggles; at such a critical moment, I will kill whoever dares to cause trouble!"

Fugaku looked grave.

Having long since awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, he feared no one in the entire Uchiha clan except for Jin.

Just as he said, the Uchiha reaching this point was truly difficult to the extreme.

If not for Uchiha Jin, it would have been absolutely impossible.

Therefore.

At this special, critical juncture, he would kill whoever dared to stick their head out!

About half an hour later.

Seeing that there was nothing else, Fugaku took his leave.

At this time, Itachi arrived as well.

After casually arranging Itachi's studies, he brought out his grandmaster chair, plopped down, and started sunbathing.

Last night was truly exhausting.

Now that things had completely stabilized today, he naturally had to get some good rest.

But, unfortunately.

Heaven does not always grant one's wishes!

Before Jin could fall completely asleep, Hiruzen Sarutobi walked in.

Uchiha Jin: "..."

He was completely bewildered.

What is this guy doing here?

However.

Although he kept complaining in his heart, he still quickly stood up.

"Lord Hokage!"

"You are truly a rare guest; please, come in and sit."

"Itachi, make some tea!"

Yawning, Uchiha Jin said with a smile.

Itachi dared not be negligent.

Immediately ending his training, he ran off to make tea.

And on the other side.

Uchiha Jin and Hiruzen Sarutobi sat at the tea table.

"It looks like Jin didn't sleep well last night!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.

He looked benevolent.

Even Jin had to admit that this facade was indeed quite convincing.

First of all.

When seeing him for the first time, one would be willing to trust him.

But after hearing his question, Jin couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Damn it.

Don't you know whether I slept well last night or not?

I was crawling on your wall all night, okay?

But...

Considering he couldn't flip the table just yet, he could only nod with a deep voice.

"You can say that again."

"The roots of the Uchiha clan are rotten."

"The Police Force also has a pile of messy business."

"Ever since I took over, I've been racking my brains!"

"There are too many things to worry about every day, a thousand threads and no end in sight."

"And so."

"Considering the Uchiha's reputation is so poor, I also want to do some real work for the village to save our precarious reputation."

"Last night, I stayed up all night to study the new laws."

"Well, I hope Lord Hokage isn't amused!"

Yes.

When it came to the thickness of one's skin, he really didn't fear anyone.

Whether you believe it or not, I believe it myself.

Anyway, these are just polite words; whoever believes them is an idiot!
