Chapter 305
He knew that although this grand-disciple of his seemed kind and obedient, and always completed the tasks he assigned perfectly,
in reality,
he possessed his own set of values!
Therefore, he did not directly speak ill of Uchiha Jin, but instead spouted nonsense, constantly reminding him to be careful and the like.
Namikaze Minato: "..."
He was, indeed, shocked.
After all, he had interacted with Uchiha Jin, even though the time they spent together was truly brief.
Yet, he could still tell that Uchiha Jin was not a person with ambition.
Otherwise, if he were truly an ambitious schemer like Danzo or Orochimaru, how could he possibly sit and chat happily with commoners, let the commoner Teuchi and his daughter care for him so much, and even have them take the initiative to introduce friends to him or host a celebration banquet for him?
Moreover, through his casual chats with Ayame, he had also roughly understood Uchiha Jin's past and temperament.
Based on his understanding, Uchiha Jin was just a lazy shut-in.
So.
He could not figure it out.
How did he become such a person in the mouth of Sarutobi Hiruzen?
"Lord Hokage."
"Is there perhaps a misunderstanding here?"
"I know Jin-kun quite well; how could someone with his temperament be an ambitious schemer?"
"With his lazy demeanor, unless it were absolutely necessary, he might not even be willing to leave his own small courtyard, right?"
"..."
Namikaze Minato raised his doubts.
But upon hearing these words, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was smoking, nearly choked to death.
What the hell?
This obedient grand-disciple of his actually knew Uchiha Jin?
Dammit.
How was this supposed to be handled?
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew very well that his tactic of smearing dirt only worked on strangers.
If the two had known each other beforehand, and Namikaze Minato already had a complete first impression of Uchiha Jin in his heart,
then the effectiveness of his smear campaign would be greatly diminished.
But, that shouldn't be!
Before Uchiha Jin graduated, he had no contact with Minato.
After this guy became a ninja, he went straight to the Mist battlefield, and after the Mist battlefield ended, Uchiha Jin had never left the village at all.
As for Namikaze Minato.
He had been active on the Cloud and Rock frontlines; how could the two of them possibly know each other?
"That... Minato!"
"You know this Uchiha Jin?"
"Is it convenient to talk about it?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was very serious.
To him, this matter was very important.
Namikaze Minato was a core member of the Hokage faction and a disciple of his beloved student Jiraiya.
If he had problems, it could even affect Jiraiya.
More importantly.
Namikaze Minato was also his handpicked candidate for the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.
If he already had a good relationship with Fugaku and was also getting cozy with Uchiha Jin, then would he still dare to let Namikaze Minato ascend to the position?
Therefore.
This matter had to be cleared up.
In Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart, his vigilance toward Uchiha Jin even increased countless times in an instant.
"How I know Jin-kun?" Namikaze Minato recalled, not hiding anything: "I met him at the Ichiraku Ramen shop."
"Lord Hokage, you might not know, but strictly speaking, Jin-kun is more like someone raised by Uncle Teuchi!"
"And as for the Ichiraku Ramen shop, I, my friends, including my teacher, and even you, Lord Hokage, we are all often willing to go to his place to eat."
"Although the taste is standard, Uncle Teuchi is a good person, and the portions are very generous."
"Going back and forth like that, we naturally got to know each other."
Hearing this.
Sarutobi Hiruzen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ichiraku Ramen, huh!
Understood.
The information submitted by the Anbu back then did indeed have records regarding this.
It was just that.
The Uchiha Jin of that time was just a piece of trash.
He naturally hadn't paid much attention to him, but considering it now...
· ·········Begging for flowers····· ······
He could actually make contact with that Teuchi Ichiraku and his daughter.
Just two commoners.
It wouldn't be hard to handle them!
And as the people closest to Uchiha Jin, if he couldn't win them over, couldn't he threaten them?
Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but dart around.
However.
Considering Namikaze Minato was still there, he immediately coughed.
"Alright, I know about this."
"In short, I just want to say that people change."
"The Uchiha Jin of the past might have been as you described, but the current situation is different."
"He is an Uchiha elder and has taken control of the Police Force..."
"Anyway, just be careful."
Namikaze Minato, upon hearing this, was still a bit unconvinced.
However.
After thinking for a moment, he chose to keep his mouth shut.
.... 0 0
And, just at this moment.
An Anbu suddenly walked in and bowed, saying.
"Lord Hokage!"
"Uchiha Jin requests an audience!"
Uh.
Speak of the devil, and he appears?
Although the ninja world didn't have Cao Cao, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Namikaze Minato both suddenly felt the urge to make a snide remark.
After pondering for a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke.
"Invite him in."
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
The Anbu bowed and then left.
A moment later.
Uchiha Jin, eyes slightly narrowed and a fake smile on his face, walked straight in. ===== CHAPTER 306 =====
