Chapter 315
Could the Senju clan really be so generous as to let all their clansmen go to their deaths?
He could only remain silent.
Uchiha Jin did not stop.
"Let's put the Senju clan aside for a moment, and talk about your wife's Uzumaki clan."
"The Uzumaki clan was right next to the Land of Fire; when the other three major nations targeted the Uzumaki clan, were the border guards of Konoha all blind and deaf?"
"They didn't hear even a little bit of news beforehand? Do you believe that, Minato-aniki?"
"Even if Konoha had difficulties at the time, sending some experts to sit in town would have at least been enough to save a batch of Uzumaki clansmen, right?"
"But, no!"
"And even more strangely, when the Uzumaki clan was exterminated, there was also a batch of Uzumaki immigrants who escaped."
"But not a single one of these people fled toward the Land of Fire; instead, they all went around the Land of Fire."
"Aren't Konoha and the Uzumaki iron-clad allies?"
"Why would those immigrants make such a choice?"
"Minato-aniki, come on, explain it?"
Namikaze Minato could only remain silent.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his brain began to run rapidly.
He wanted to find a reason to refute, but he just couldn't find one.
Except for silence, he was speechless.
After a long time.
Uchiha Jin spoke faintly.
"The huge Uzumaki clan, only Kushina survived, who is your wife, Minato-aniki."
"But why did Konoha save Kushina, Minato-aniki should understand better than anyone."
"Because she has utility value!"
"Who in the entire ninja world doesn't know that only the special constitution of the Uzumaki clan can contain the strongest Nine-Tails in the ninja world."
"You know, at that time, Lady Mito was still alive."
"As the wife of the First Hokage and the first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she couldn't protect her husband's clan, the Senju, nor could she protect her wife's clan, the Uzumaki."
"If the Uchiha, who have no protection, don't strive for themselves, why would their outcome be better than the Senju or Uzumaki?"
"I am not Hatake Sakumo!"
Namikaze Minato felt a slight headache.
On one hand, he felt that he really couldn't refute Uchiha Jin's words.
But, more so.
The values he had established over a long time made it impossible for him to agree.
Feeling restless, he couldn't help but retort: "What does this have to do with Hatake Sakumo-senpai?"
"Still the same sentence, use your brain!" Uchiha Jin said faintly: "Hatake Sakumo was performing an S-rank mission, so how did it spread throughout Konoha all of a sudden?"
"What about the principle of confidentiality? Was it eaten by a dog?"
Namikaze Minato was choked again.
Uh.
It seemed that was really the case!
He hadn't thought carefully about this aspect before, but after being reminded by Uchiha Jin, he realized that the village had confidentiality rules.
B-rank missions must be kept confidential, so how did an S-rank mission spread throughout Konoha?
This was indeed suspicious.
The key was that after Hatake-senpai died, the village didn't even hold anyone accountable for the leak!
He was numb.
He felt that the village he understood and the reality were so far apart.
And, on the other side.
Uchiha Jin felt it was about enough, and then spoke in a faint tone.
"Minato-aniki, think about it carefully."
"Why did your teacher Jiraiya, as well as Tsunade, and the other disciples of the Third Hokage..."
"Why did they all leave the village and not want to stay?"
"Especially your teacher Jiraiya, who shouts every day about finding some savior?"
"To put it bluntly, it's avoidance."
"Because he can't solve the village's problems, and if he wants to solve them, he must break with Sarutobi Hiruzen."
"Jiraiya can't do it, because that is his teacher."
"So he can only place his hope for change on that so-called savior."
"Jiraiya is your teacher, Minato-aniki; you can truly calm down and talk to your teacher."
"Then you will know whether I am talking nonsense or not!" ===== CHAPTER 316 =====
