Chapter 527

"First of all, the dead Setsuna Uchiha was actually Jin Uchiha's enemy."

"In addition, taking advantage of this matter, Jin Uchiha completely wiped out everyone in the clan who opposed him."

"In other words, the current Uchiha can be considered a solid piece."

"As for letting these people leave, at most it's making use of waste."

"Killing them all directly is bad for his reputation, not killing them and leaving them in the Uchiha is a waste of food, and watching them also requires wasting manpower."

"Furthermore, keeping this group of people, feeding them every day, maybe one day they will stab him in the back."

"So, once and for all."

"Directly driving these people out of the Uchiha, and conveniently using Shisui to cheat a little more money and resources from you, Hokage-sama."

"Even, if you, Hokage-sama, fall for it."

"Then the Uchiha can directly perform a double act, constantly fighting fake battles to fool you, making you lose your guard against the Uchiha."

"And taking advantage of this stage, the Uchiha can develop in secret."

"A profit of ten thousand for one investment!"

Yes.

After truly figuring this out, even Shikaku Nara couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This move is powerful!

Such a simple plan not only clears out unstable factors in the clan, but also takes the opportunity to kill his own enemies, slightly lowers the enemy's guard, and even takes the opportunity to make a huge profit...

Even if he took action himself, he might not be able to make such a plan.

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."

He looked stunned.

Clearly, after listening to this speculation, he was completely dumbfounded.

It seems, it really is.

Things he couldn't figure out before, after Shikaku Nara's analysis, instantly made his mind feel clear.

But doesn't this prove that he was deceived by the Uchiha?

Shisui's defection was just a calculation?

Thinking of this, his face instantly turned gloomy.

He was furious!

After all, since he became Hokage, he had never suffered such a big loss.

You have to know.

Just before Shikaku Nara returned, he had just given Shisui a huge sum of 200 million ryo!

He even provided them with clan grounds, and even prepared to use the Hokage's authority in the future to fight for more benefits for this group of people.

This, damn it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble with anger.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had deep city and enough restraint, couldn't help but slap the table in anger.

"Bastard, looking for death!"

"Daring to scheme against me like this, the Uchiha are looking for death!"

"I swear, I must kill them!"

"Jin! UCHI! HA!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi roared.

However.

After venting slightly, he still barely held back.

After all, as Hokage, he still knew the priority of things.

Therefore, he took a deep breath.

He didn't mean to hide anything from Shikaku Nara in front of him.

He immediately stated his arrangements for Shisui and the benefits given, and then couldn't help but speak coldly.

"The rest, let's not mention it for now."

"Shikaku, can I ask for these 200 million ryo back now?"

"Even if this money is fed to dogs, I don't want to give it to the Uchiha!"

"Even if I lose face, I want to expose this matter and let the whole Konoha recognize the cunning and shamelessness of the Uchiha."

"..."

Yes.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had his own pride.

Being schemed against by Jin Uchiha like this, how could he endure it in his heart?

Must retaliate!

He didn't even want to wait for a moment, and even wanted to completely kill Jin Uchiha regardless of his face and reputation.

This, there was no help for it!

This Jin Uchiha was too much, simply treating him like a fool.

If he didn't retaliate, and if this matter spread, wouldn't he, Hiruzen Sarutobi, become a walking big fool?

However.

Shikaku Nara, who heard these words, became panicked.

"No, absolutely not!" Shikaku Nara quickly said, "Hokage-sama, you must be calm!"

"This kind of thing must never be done, otherwise, let alone the Uchiha, we simply cannot bear the consequences."

"First of all, I am only speculating; in fact, there is no evidence at all."

"Just empty words, how could others be willing to believe?"

"And even if there is evidence, we can't do this, because the most important thing is other ninja clans."

"Even if we can really produce evidence, we can't convince other ninja clans!"

"For small and medium ninja clans, taking sides is a very serious matter, and credibility is the first priority."

"Regardless of whether it is true or false, as long as you, Hokage-sama, dare to do this, then other ninja clans, out of self-protection, unless they can 100% prove that this evidence is fine, they will never dare to trust us again."

"The reason is simple!"

"Since you, Hokage-sama, now dare to abandon Shisui, who has no utilization value."

"Then they will worry even more: if they defect to us, and if they have no utilization value in the future, will we also fabricate a piece of evidence to throw them away as abandoned pawns?"

"As long as they have this thought, they won't dare to approach us, and even for self-protection, they must defect to the Uchiha."

"Hokage-sama, this is a positive conspiracy!"

"No matter what choice we make, it is good for Jin Uchiha; we are destined to eat this loss!"

"Even, in order to win over other ninja clans."

"We must also set Shisui as a benchmark, and treat Shisui and other Uchiha even better."

"Only by doing this can we attract other ninja clans, let them see our generosity, so that they might defect to us."

"So, Hokage-sama!"

"I know you are very angry now, but this matter is absolutely not allowed."

"You can't even have crooked thoughts to let Shisui and the others go to die."

"This pass is very important!"

"Any small actions of ours will be looked at carefully by other ninja clans with a magnifying glass."

"Because for other ninja clans, the future of Shisui and other Uchiha is their possible future!"

"Hokage-sama, small intolerance will mess up big plans!"

Shikaku Nara was sincere.

Yes.

He was able to become the Jonin Commander by being sincere.

Since he sat in this position, no matter what he thought in private.

But, on the surface.

He could only plan selflessly for Hiruzen Sarutobi.
