Chapter 525

"And letting the Uchiha fight internally is actually a good thing, so I didn't think much about it at the time."

"But, who would have thought."

"In just one day, such a big mess was made."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said gloomily.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown.

Too strange!

According to his normal level, he would never have agreed easily before figuring things out.

But, last night...

The news of the Mangekyo was too shocking to him.

It made him subconsciously not think too much, and now that he had come to his senses, he instantly perceived that something was wrong.

Actually, let alone him.

Even Shikaku Nara, who heard this, suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

This routine is somewhat familiar!

Where have I seen it?

Wait.

Isn't this the traditional move of the Nara clan?

So, Kazama?

Thinking of this, Shikaku Nara couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

However.

His eyes rolled, but he didn't break the matter, instead asking in detail again.

And, on the other side.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was quite cooperative.

The two chatted for a full half hour.

Subsequently.

Shikaku Nara fell into thought again, and Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't disturb him, just smoking his pipe by himself.

About a moment later.

Shikaku Nara sighed, his tone low.

"One coincidence is normal, two coincidences are understandable."

"But if there are too many coincidences, then it seems abnormal."

"Let's discuss the matter as it stands!"

"Under normal circumstances, wanting to organize a faction from zero to one requires a long process."

"Even if Shisui has a Mangekyo, even if the Uchiha are all idiots."

"But organizing it in just one day, is this speed a bit too fast?"

"Jin Uchiha is a smart person."

"Since he took charge of the Uchiha, his various methods have been enough to explain."

"For this group of people who oppose him, does he have no monitoring?"

"Absolutely impossible! Anyway, I don't believe it!"

"But since he has monitoring on these people, how could he let Shisui make such a big fuss?"

"And even if he found that Shisui had a problem, with Jin's status in the Uchiha, he has countless ways to handle this matter."

"So, why?"

"Jin Uchiha clearly has many ways, but in the end, he chose the most brutal one?"

"Shisui is not a person who can't listen to reason, and their relationship was quite good before..."

"As long as he chose to explain well, maybe he could pull Shisui into his camp."

"Jin is a smart person. Can't he think of these?"

Shikaku was very smart.

He just laid out the unreasonable parts without defining anything.

This was also the reason he had been able to gain the Hokage's trust for a long time.

He never defined things himself!

He just helped Hiruzen Sarutobi think; as for how Hiruzen Sarutobi made the final decision, he had no interest in participating at all.

He defined himself as just a strategist.

The decision-making power.

Always in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands!

And, on the other side.

Following Shikaku Nara's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face became increasingly ugly.

He was not stupid.

Shikaku Nara had said it to this point; if he still hadn't turned the corner, wouldn't he seem too stupid?

So.

His face was as gloomy as water, and his whole body was trembling with anger.

Damn it.

According to Shikaku Nara's line of thinking, doesn't that mean Shisui has been Jin Uchiha's person from beginning to end?

These two Mangekyo users are basically on the same path?

And today the two of them fought, isn't it just a play?

And what about him?

He was foolishly set up, and even just gave away 200 million ryo?

Bastard, how hateful!

Considering Shikaku Nara was by his side, he didn't curse out loud, which was already enough restraint.

After pondering for a long time.

He took a deep breath and spoke gloomily.

"Shikaku, I can't figure it out."

"What exactly do the Uchiha want to do? What is their purpose?"

"Just to cheat me out of some money?"

"You have to know that the Uchiha conflict today killed quite a few people!"

"Even Setsuna Uchiha, an elder-level figure, died."

"This can't be fake, right?"

Yes.

This was also what he couldn't figure out.

Even if the Uchiha wanted to cheat him out of money, there was no need to make such a big fuss, right?

Setsuna was an Uchiha elder; although his strength wasn't the top, he was still a Three-Tomoe Sharingan powerhouse, and could be considered an elite Jonin in the village!

Just to gain his trust, he just died like that?

Are they sick?
