Chapter 307: With righteousness on his side, even the Hokage must bow!

Uchiha Jin's brow twitched slightly.

He hated being interrupted by others, but since it was Sarutobi Hiruzen...

Forget it!

Regardless of anything else, the man was the Hokage.

Without the slightest hesitation, without beating around the bush, he opened the skylight to speak clearly.

He briefly explained the matter of the Aburame clan and then directly stated his stance.

"Lord Hokage, that is how it is."

"The Aburame clan has come to me, and since I am the Minister of the Police Force, I must strive for the peace of the village."

"First of all, there is no such administrative department as the 'Root' in our Konoha village."

"According to the village's relevant judicial interpretations, the so-called 'Root' is merely one of the training departments of the Anbu."

"Essentially, Root only possesses Level 2 authority."

"That is, only after obtaining the consent of the Anbu and presenting a permit document '700' does it have the right to conscript ninjas from clans and commoners."

"But after my investigation, I did not find any 'Anbu' filing."

"Considering that Root is a subordinate department of the Anbu, and the Anbu is under the direct command of the Hokage, I naturally have no choice but to come to you, Lord Hokage."

"According to Konoha's legal regulations, regardless of which department is conscripting ninjas, except for force majeure factors like wartime, the consent of the conscripted person must be obtained."

"Even for special conscriptions like war, ninjas should be allowed to choose freely after the war ends."

"And in Konoha's operational documents, I did not find the authority sequence for Root."

"So I hope Lord Hokage can investigate the irregular behavior of the Anbu's subordinate 'Root Training Class' and release the Aburame clan genius, Aburame Tatsuma."

"Even if he must participate in the war, he should be assigned to the frontline command camp!"

Uchiha Jin's expression was calm.

Yes.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to wear a mask and go save someone; that was only a last resort when there was no other way.

War is the continuation of politics!

And even if he saved the person that way, there would be no way for Aburame Tatsuma to walk openly in the sunlight.

So unless necessary, he was willing to follow the proper procedures.

Furthermore.

The existence of Root itself was non-compliant, more like an illegal organization.

No approval, no mobilization order, no law enforcement power, no conscription power.

Since that was the case, what was there to fear?

He really didn't believe that Sarutobi Hiruzen would dare not release the person!

In fact, it should be said.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen dared not release the person, then it would be he who broke the rules of the game first.

At that time.

He would first promote righteousness in the village, and then directly lead the Police Force to openly raid Root and save the person!

In any world, righteousness is the most important thing.

What was the point of sneaking around to save someone?

He, Uchiha Jin, disdained to do such things.

Namikaze Minato: "..."

Upon learning of Uchiha Jin's intention, he was completely dumbfounded.

Yes.

Namikaze Minato was stunned.

He had heard of Root before and also found it very displeasing.

But, there was no way around it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen protected it in every way, which left him with no way to intervene even if he wanted to.

To put it bluntly.

Namikaze Minato was just a very strong ninja, but he was a layman in power struggles, and on top of that, he had no support from any ninja clans.

It was perfectly normal that he couldn't outplay Sarutobi Hiruzen!

And.

This was also the real reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen dared to let him ascend.

"Lord Hokage!" Namikaze Minato spoke directly: "Jin-kun is right, Aburame Tatsuma must be released."

"Lord Danzo is too excessive; how can he force others to join Root without their consent?"

"This is absolutely not okay!"

"And just as Jin-kun said, Root is only a subordinate department of the Anbu and has no conscription or law enforcement power at all!"

Namikaze Minato did not hesitate.

Although he belonged to the Hokage faction, he also had his own sense of justice.

A gentleman has things he will do and things he will not do.

He couldn't stand this matter.

Before, there was no way, but now that there was righteousness on their side, he was of course willing to help out.

And, secondly.

He didn't think that because of this matter, Sarutobi Hiruzen would cast him aside as a heretic.

Of course, more importantly.

He might not be as good at power struggles as an old fox like Uchiha Jin, but he also had his own set of plans.

Doing Jin a favor now would make it easier to understand Jin's true thoughts during their next private conversation.

Anyway.

He was a bit unwilling to believe what Sarutobi Hiruzen had told him earlier.

He trusted his own intuition more!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a tight spot!

Uchiha Jin's opening statement had already given him a massive headache. ===== CHAPTER 308 =====
