Therefore.

After brushing it off with a few words, he invited Minato to sit in the living room.

He personally brewed a cup of tea for both of them, greeted Minato briefly, and then drank his own in one gulp.

Feeling the warmth throughout his body, his body also began to relax significantly.

On the contrary, on the other side.

Looking at the teacup in his hand and the tea he had just swallowed.

Namikaze Minato frowned; he had a vague sense of familiarity.

Wait...

Aren't these the tea set and tea leaves of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage?

Yes.

As a core member of the Hokage faction, and with Toad Sage Jiraiya as his master, he naturally visited Sarutobi Hiruzen's house often.

But, why?

Why are they at Jin-kun's house now?

"Jin-kun, this tea..." Namikaze Minato asked in astonishment.

Uchiha Jin's eyes were calm.

Even though Namikaze Minato didn't finish his sentence, he knew what the other party wanted to ask.

He waved his hand simply and spoke casually.

"Brother Minato, you guessed right."

"I swiped these from the Hokage's house. On the night the Police Force was preparing to amend the law, Sarutobi Hiruzen intended to coerce all the ninja clans to wipe out the Uchiha that very night."

"At that time, Fugaku and I discussed preparing for a mutually assured destruction."

"We would completely abandon the Uchiha's defenses, and all the Jonin in the clan would lie in wait within the various ninja clans."

"As long as the village dared to make a move against the Uchiha, we would strike at the old, weak, women, children, and genius ninjas of the various clans."

"And at that time, I was hiding in the Sarutobi clan."

"Honestly, I was prepared to kill everyone in the Sarutobi clan and then defect from the village."

"But, hehe."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen chickened out, so when I left, I swiped his tea leaves and tea set."

"Don't overthink it; the Hokage knows about this."

Uchiha Jin didn't hide anything.

But, on the other side.

After hearing this, Namikaze Minato was stunned on the spot.

Yes.

He really didn't know about this; after all, he was on the front lines at the time, and no one had specifically told him about it.

"Really, sigh!" Namikaze Minato looked helpless: "We are all from the same village."

"But forget it, let's not talk about these disappointing things."

"Tell me, what's going on with you and Shisui? I find today's events very awkward no matter how I look at it."

"Shisui's personality wouldn't allow him to vie for power with you."

"Let alone a violent clash!"

"Can you reveal a little bit?"

Namikaze Minato asked directly.

Yes.

Regarding the Uchiha and the village almost clashing, if it were the old him, he might have had an opinion about Uchiha Jin.

But, now.

Having truly realized the various dirty dealings within the village, he was too lazy to get involved.

On the contrary.

He was actually very interested in tonight's events.

And, on the other side.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Jin instantly understood.

... Please give flowers...

It seems the future Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, has truly begun to change.

Realizing this, he didn't hide anything.

After briefly explaining his purpose, Namikaze Minato was instantly stunned.

"This, will it work?" Namikaze Minato couldn't help but ask: "Nara Shikaku, don't be fooled!"

Uchiha Jin nodded.

He naturally understood this point in his heart.

But, it didn't matter.

After shaking his head slightly, he said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter; this time I am still using an open scheme."

"Even if he can guess the truth, he still has to spend money to support those people."

"After all, in the eyes of all the ninja clans, Shisui the Uchiha has defected to Sarutobi Hiruzen."

"If Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't pay, even if he uses those Uchiha as cannon fodder, who else among the other ninja clans would dare to defect to our Hokage?"

"Even if he wants to appease the other ninja clans, he has to swallow this loss!"

Namikaze Minato smiled helplessly.

It was also at this moment that he realized the brilliance of this 'ally.'

Unlike Sarutobi Hiruzen, every time Uchiha Jin makes a move, it's this kind of unsolvable open scheme.

Even if you know there's a pit ahead, you have no choice but to jump in.

This, sigh!

After a helpless sigh, just as he was about to continue speaking.

Boom!

The entire house trembled for a moment.

Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Jin looked at each other, their expressions instantly becoming serious.

Then, without wasting words.

Both of them quickly left the house, and immediately saw four scarlet tails dancing in the wind over the village.

Countless ninjutsu were flying, and the village was in chaos.

"Kushina!" Namikaze Minato's expression tightened: "Did Danzo make a move?"

"Jin-kun, sorry!"

"No time to chat with you; I have to go back immediately."

After speaking.

Without any nonsense, in just a single flash, Namikaze Minato was gone.

"Flying Thunder God, huh." Uchiha Jin muttered: "What a convenient skill."

"Four scarlet tails, it seems Kushina is going berserk."

"Minato mentioned Danzo, so it must be aimed at Nohara Rin."

"This is really interesting; Danzo is too helpful!"

"I was just worrying about how to make Minato completely break with the Hokage faction."

"This is like sending a pillow when I'm sleepy; someone who didn't know might think you, Danzo, are my man."

"If you keep doing this, I won't even be able to bear killing you!" ===== CHAPTER 501 =====
