Chapter 321: Free things are actually the most expensive!

Namikaze Minato remained silent.

He could feel Uchiha Jin's sincerity, and that was precisely the reason for his silence.

If Uchiha Jin had come to him with attempts at solicitation, recounting the tragic state of the Uchiha, and hoping to gain more power from him once he ascended to the position of Hokage, he naturally could have scoffed and laughed it off.

But that wasn't the case!

Uchiha Jin had no demands whatsoever.

He didn't even want to obtain anything from him; at most, when the Uchiha and Sarutobi Hiruzen were in conflict...

he only hoped that he would remain neutral!

Aside from that, nothing.

On the contrary, he kept calling him "Brother Minato" and saying everything was for his own good.

He asked for no return, and didn't even ask to be understood.

Namikaze Minato didn't feel that his neutrality was all that important.

Although he could use the Flying Thunder God and had earned the title "Yellow Flash."

But he had learned of Uchiha Jin's Mangekyo ability from the mouth of Sarutobi Hiruzen himself.

No chakra reaction, and not even a single movement.

It didn't even require touching the other person's body to cause an enemy's flesh to disintegrate in an instant.

He certainly didn't believe there was such a thing as a perfect ninjutsu in the world.

But, at the same time.

He couldn't find any means to deal with Uchiha Jin either!

Under such circumstances, was it worth paying such a high price just for his neutrality?

The answer was, no!

And that spoke volumes.

Since there were no demands on him, and what Uchiha Jin said, when thought about carefully, really did make a lot of sense.

Then, was it true?

He fell into deep thought, not even knowing if he should go and ask his teacher.

His eyes were filled with confusion!

Especially Uchiha Jin's final words, which had struck directly at his most vulnerable point.

Aside from protecting Konoha, that point was his family.

He absolutely did not want his wife and child to encounter any accidents!

"Alright, I understand."

"I will be careful in the future, but regardless, thank you, Jin-kun."

"Go back and get some good rest; we set off early tomorrow morning!"

After saying this.

Namikaze Minato left, looking completely dejected.

It was evident.

He had indeed taken to heart what Jin said to him today.

Even if he didn't believe it entirely, he had believed at least a small part of it.

That was enough!

Because once a crack in trust is formed, there is no turning back.

Next.

Whether Namikaze Minato believed it or not, he would subconsciously pay attention to these matters.

And once a new worldview was formed, the things previously ignored would naturally surface in his mind again.

Even when encountering things in the future, he would subconsciously think according to this newly formed worldview.

What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true.

This move by Uchiha Jin was still an open conspiracy!

"The seed has been planted."

"As for what kind of flower it will bloom into, leave it all to fate."

"It's just a spare move anyway; whether it succeeds or not doesn't affect my side."

"Take it one step at a time."

"Though if Sarutobi Hiruzen finds out about this, he'll probably cry himself to sleep in the bathroom."

"Lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own feet, trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice—is that what they call this old silver coin?"

"Actually, one doesn't need to think too hard."

"Namikaze Minato's nature is slightly simple, and he has been thoroughly brainwashed by the Will of Fire."

"People like him are indeed very easy to use."

"But, force is reciprocal."

"You can use Namikaze Minato, but conversely, I can too!"

"As long as you find the right way and method, will is the most solid thing, but also the most fragile."

"This world analyzes the essence of power too shallowly."

"The methods are also slightly thin."

"There is no need for the old silver coins of my past life; anyone who has simply gone through nine years of compulsory education could easily find a pile of ways to counter."

"Don't they know that free things are the most expensive?"
