Chapter 370: Darkness sweeps in, Team Minato is devastated

Kakashi Hatake was stunned.

Ever since his father committed suicide, this question had plagued him for so many years.

But, he had never expected this.

He had thought of countless possibilities, but he had never once considered what Uchiha Jin was saying.

However, how could it be?

How could Lord Hokage do such a thing?

He did not believe it!

The Ninja Academy taught the Will of Fire, but this was not the Will of Fire at all!

The beliefs he had held for so long, and the cruel reality in Jin's mouth, nearly tore him apart.

At this moment.

He collapsed to the ground, his entire being instantly listless.

He felt that his persistence was simply like a joke.

But, on the other side.

Obito could not hold back, and immediately roared.

"This is wrong!"

"The Ninja Academy doesn't teach it like that; Uchiha Jin, you don't understand the Will of Fire at all."

"I can't argue with you, but you are just wrong!"

The others were silent.

Regarding Obito's anger, those who could understand it couldn't be bothered to pay attention, and those who couldn't understand it were unable to refute it.

Only Uchiha Jin.

He just gave Obito a disdainful look, then spoke in an icy tone.

"The Will of Fire, well said!"

"According to Hashirama Senju, the original intention of founding Konoha was because he was fed up with children being sent to the battlefield."

"The burning of a ninja is to illuminate the village and protect the new seedlings."

"But, then what?"

"Why are the ones dying on the battlefield all children from the Ninja Academy?"

"Do you know that our batch of classmates is almost all dead now?"

"Even I didn't want to graduate back then, but in the end, they forced me to graduate."

"So much for protecting the seedlings—where are they?"

"Bring them out and let me see!"

"Go see the Sarutobi clan for yourself. A full four to five thousand ninjas—you, Obito, have been on the battlefield for so long, tell me, how many people from the Sarutobi clan have you seen?"

"And the other three major ninja clans led by the Sarutobi: the Utatane, the Mitokado, and the Shimura clans."

"Tell me, how many clan ninjas from the Elder Council have you seen?"

"Now that you've returned to Konoha, go take a good look at these ninja clans and see how prosperous they are."

"The Uchiha clan, a founding clan of Konoha."

"But now there are only six or seven hundred ninjas left in the clan. Where did all those Uchiha clansmen go?"

"They all died!"

"The Senju clan is even more miserable; now they are simply gone."

"Don't give me that nonsense about integrating into Konoha; neither Hashirama Senju nor Tobirama Senju ever said that."

"It was only after Nawaki Senju, the last lone seedling of the Senju main line, died, and Tsunade became disheartened, that Mito Uzumaki said it out of helplessness."

"As for the death of Nawaki Senju, that is even more of a joke!"

"Every time the Hyuga main line leaves the village, they are followed by a protection team composed of Jonin."

"Important Uchiha figures also have family secret guards by their sides; in fact, which clan doesn't?"

"As a founding clan of Konoha, with Nawaki Senju as the only main line, tell me he didn't have a protection team?"

"But, then what?"

"With secret guards protecting him, his own sister as the frontline medical minister, and his teacher Orochimaru as the frontline commander..."

"With such a luxurious protection team, he died in the very first battle after leaving the village!"

"Under normal circumstances, it would be hard for the enemy to even get close, right?"

"He was blown up by explosive tags, haha!"

"Those Jonin around Nawaki Senju had been struggling on the battlefield for so many years; tell me they didn't even recognize an explosive tag trap?"

"The two great founding clans of Konoha: one completely wiped out, the other suppressed by the village and on the verge of extinction."

"Conversely, the Sarutobi clan, a small clan that only had two hundred ninjas when they defected to Konoha at its founding, is now prosperous with nearly five thousand ninjas."

"You, Obito, tell me, where did the Sarutobi clan get the money to support so many ninjas?"

"Even if the Sarutobi clan has the ability, why haven't I seen any Sarutobi clan ninjas on the battlefield outside of the logistics department?"

"You're burning newspapers at a grave—who are you trying to fool!"

Uchiha Jin's tone was icy.

Yes.

Since he knew this was Minato Namikaze's student, and they had already formed an alliance.

Then, for the future.

Minato Namikaze's internal affairs were not in chaos, and he knew this "Little Sun" had a soft heart and probably couldn't bear to say harsh words.

So, haha.

He, Uchiha Jin, would do it for him!

And, on the other side.

Following Uchiha Jin's words, even Obito fell completely silent.

Yes.

After all, he was Minato Namikaze's student; how could he have never been to the Sarutobi clan?

How prosperous the Sarutobi clan was and how many ninjas they had—even if he hadn't counted, he had a rough idea in his heart.

But, then what?

Just as Uchiha Jin said, how many Sarutobi clan ninjas had he seen in all the time he had been on the battlefield?

Therefore, he could only be silent!

Immediately after.

Uchiha Obito, gritting his teeth, immediately activated his three-tomoe Sharingan in anger.

But, it was a pity.

Perhaps at any other time, this would have been a shocking event.

However, right now.
