Chapter 775

~3 min read 582 words

"Even if I agree to you, for the sake of the village's peace, we Uchiha choose to be wiped out."

"But, then what?"

"Will Sarutobi Hiruzen stop his footsteps?"

"I tell you, absolutely not."

"After the Uchiha perishes, the next will be the Hyuga, and after that, the Ino-Shika-Cho, Aburame, Inuzuka..."

"Do we ninja clans deserve to die for the sake of so-called peace?"

"Jiraiya, don't forget."

"Konoha was founded by the Senju and the Uchiha; why should we use the blood of our ninja clans to nourish the vampires led by Sarutobi Hiruzen?"

"Sarutobi Hiruzen has eaten enough."

"When the Senju and Uchiha founded Konoha, the Sarutobi were just a small ninja clan. Go take a look at the Sarutobi clan now."

"The Uchiha are called a noble clan, but at most they have seven or eight hundred ninjas, but the Sarutobi, a small clan from back then, now have a full four or five thousand ninjas."

"How were these ninjas cultivated?"

"With such vast resources and wealth, if he didn't embezzle the village's finances, if he didn't rely on the legacy of the Senju and Uzumaki clans, could Sarutobi Hiruzen have come up with it?"

"Jiraiya, tell me."

"Why should I retreat?"

Uchiha Jin's logic was clear.

He firmly occupied the moral high ground, and more importantly, Sarutobi Hiruzen's actions were too crude.

He didn't even hide the series of bloody cases.

These things.

Perhaps civilian ninjas don't know, but Jiraiya, as one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, could he not know even a little bit?

He would rather wander the ninja world than return to Konoha village; doesn't that explain everything?

Facts also proved that he knew.

Because.

Even after Uchiha said so much, there was not a trace of surprise on his face.

Jiraiya could only remain silent.

Yes.

Just as Uchiha Jin said, as one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, he is one of the absolute high-ranking officials of the entire village.

Even if he didn't hold any position, as long as he was willing, the Fourth Hokage position would definitely not have gone to Namikaze Minato.

Even...

Among the Legendary Sannin, Tsunade is from the Senju, and Orochimaru is hard to control.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could not trust these two people.

Only Jiraiya!

As long as he was willing to nod, Sarutobi Hiruzen would be overjoyed and would send him to the Hokage position without a second word.

"I cannot answer." Jiraiya said bitterly: "Perhaps you are right."

"But he is my teacher, I can't act against him."

"So, I'm sorry."

Clearly.

Uchiha Jin's guess was correct.

Although Jiraiya has many problems, he is on the side of justice.

Even compared to Namikaze Minato, he just lacks a bit of courage.

Therefore.

His conscience wouldn't let him say those insincere words.

Thinking of this.

A faint smile appeared on Uchiha Jin's face.

"Hmm, I know."

"When we first started chatting, I actually already said it."

"Even if we cannot become comrades, we will definitely not become enemies."

"With your personality, Jiraiya, you can't do that kind of thing!"

"At most, you will choose neutrality, but you won't be able to help the evildoer."

"The guarantee I can give you is that the Uchiha will never provoke trouble, and all actions will strictly abide by the village's rules."

"However, at the same time."

"If Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't play by the rules, then the Uchiha will definitely fight back."

"And, at all costs!" ===== CHAPTER 776 =====
