Chapter 89: Steady progress, Shisui's worldview begins to shatter

You, are too strong!

Hearing this again, Shisui looked slightly bewildered.

However, he wasn't stupid.

After a little thought, he understood.

Whether it was the Nine-Tails, the Uchiha, or Sakumo Hatake.

These three things had one thing in common, which was what Uchiha Jin had expressed at the beginning.

They were too strong!

Yes.

Like the Uchiha, how strong was Sakumo Hatake?

Anbu Captain, Jonin Squad Leader, Head of the Torture and Interrogation Department.

Of Konoha's seven major functional departments, Sakumo Hatake occupied three by himself.

And a few months before his suicide, he was even bestowed the title of "Hokage's Half-Sleeve" by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

It could almost be said.

Before Sakumo Hatake committed suicide, he was equivalent to half a Hokage.

And, what about now?

Since Sakumo Hatake's death, the Anbu Captain position was taken over by Shinnosuke Sarutobi.

The Jonin Squad Leader became Shikaku Nara, and the Head of the Torture and Interrogation Department became Ibiki Morino.

As for these three, they had a common characteristic.

They were all members of the Hokage faction.

Ibiki Morino was of civilian origin, relying on Hiruzen Sarutobi to reach this point.

Shikaku Nara, needless to say.

The Ino-Shika-Cho were the traditional Hokage faction; whoever was Hokage, they would support them.

Shinnosuke Sarutobi was even more so, the man's own son.

Good heavens!

He hadn't thought about these things before, but now, reminded by Uchiha Jin.

After thinking carefully, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Was this still the kind-hearted Hokage he had in his impression?

The dignified "Hokage's Half-Sleeve," the half-Hokage Sakumo Hatake, died so inexplicably, while the Hokage faction won a complete victory.

And then?

Kakashi Hatake joined the Hokage faction.

Just like that.

Sakumo Hatake's entire power base was completely devoured.

"Why?"

"This, still doesn't make sense."

"Why would Sakumo Hatake commit suicide?"

Shisui was full of confusion; he couldn't accept it.

With his worldview shattered, he immediately found a point of contention and asked frantically.

After all, this cognition was completely different from what he had thought.

Uchiha Jin, however, was full of emotion.

"This is exactly the point I admire about Sakumo Hatake."

"He was a true ninja, so he could only choose to commit suicide."

"He was worried about Konoha."

"If he didn't choose to commit suicide, he would have had to fight the Hokage faction."

"If Konoha were in chaos, would other ninja villages let go of such a good opportunity?"

"Conversely, as soon as he died, everything could be resolved."

"Konoha wouldn't be in chaos because of this; even to reduce the impact, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't dare to touch his son, Kakashi Hatake."

"The facts were exactly as such."

"Kakashi Hatake became Minato Namikaze's apprentice, thereby completely joining the Hokage faction."

"And relying on this point, the Hokage faction completely brought Sakumo Hatake's loyalists under their command."

"Sakumo Hatake's defeat was also an inevitable thing."

"Despicableness is the passport of the despicable, nobility is the epitaph of the noble."

"How could a noble person deal with despicable people?"

"The more upright you are, the easier you are to deal with!"

"The so-called victory of the Hokage faction was just using Sakumo Hatake's unwillingness to see Konoha suffer."

"This is where I admire Sakumo Hatake, but I will never become him."

After saying this, Uchiha Jin completely shut his mouth.

He had said everything that needed to be said.

If he continued, it would only make Shisui's heart more chaotic.

This was just right!

Let him think and ponder it himself; he could talk again once he understood these things.

Therefore.

Having done all this, Uchiha Jin lay on the sofa.

Closing his eyes, enjoying the sound of the waves and the golden sunlight from the sun above.

Conversely, on the other side.

Shisui was full of confusion, his brain constantly thinking.

His whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

Clearly.

Shisui, whose IQ was not low, was not as stubborn as Itachi.

It wasn't difficult for him to accept it.

But, the more he understood.

The more pessimistic he became about the future of the Uchiha clan.

What to do?

He kept thinking about this, but couldn't get an answer for a long time.

Time passed slowly.

Shisui's face became paler, and his eyes were filled with fear.

He didn't dare to believe in Hiruzen Sarutobi anymore.

Although what Uchiha Jin said was just his speculation, and there was actually no evidence.

But, it still wouldn't do!

For such a major event as saving the clan, he didn't dare to have the slightest mistake.

Wait... Uchiha Jin! ===== CHAPTER 90 =====
