Chapter 93

To put it plainly.

He is merely a twelve-year-old boy!

The Root has mobilized countless powerful ones this time; can they not take down a single Uchiha Jin?

Even if he wields the Mangekyo Sharingan, Danzo does not care.

Have we not dealt with such foes before?

Wasn't Uchiha Kagami back then also a Mangekyo wielder?

After a moment of reflection, Danzo returned directly to the Root.

Only after gathering all his forces did he speak in a cold, sinister tone.

"This mission's target is the Police Force."

"The primary target is Uchiha Jin; note that he has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan."

"Kill this person at all costs!"

"Anyone who dares to obstruct will be eliminated!"

"Of course, also go to the Police Force prison and rescue those three Anbu fools."

"Move out."

At Danzo's command, the entire Anbu organization surged into motion.

Countless Root ninja, expressionless, began executing the mission mechanically.

They moved with incredible speed.

In merely half an hour, they arrived at the entrance of the Police Force.

A full nine elite Root squads had assembled, each squad composed entirely of Jonin.

The leader wore dark sunglasses.

He glanced at the Police Force in the pitch-black night, then casually waved his hand.

"Attack!"

Police Department, Chief's Office.

Even though it was already late at night, Uchiha Jin, who usually favored doing nothing, strangely did not leave today.

He looked relaxed.

He lounged on the guest sofa, sipping tea and chatting casually with Fugaku.

Yes.

Catching a thief was a minor matter, but the notice Jin issued had a massive impact!

Upon learning of this, Fugaku naturally could not sit still.

As for Fugaku, the clan head, Uchiha Jin certainly did not hide anything.

He immediately explained the causes, effects, his plans, and arrangements in full.

There was no other way!

Since he had already made up his mind to throw a match with Uchiha Shisui.

Plus, to cover for future generations of the Nara and Kizame, he now had to work hard, all to ensure a more peaceful life of doing nothing later.

"Jin-kun's idea is far too dangerous," Fugaku frowned slightly and could not help but speak up: "Provoking the Hokage like this, if anything goes wrong, we will have no retreat!"

"So, should we discuss this again?"

"I am sure there must be a better way!"

Yes.

Fugaku hesitated.

He was naturally indecisive; simply listening to Uchiha Jin's plan without immediately stopping it was already a great concession.

He did not want to take risks; he only wanted stability.

"Clan Head, Itachi are overthinking it," Uchiha Jin murmured with a sigh: "How is this provocation?"

"And it seems Itachi have no accurate understanding of the Uchiha's position."

"We and the village elders have long been in a life-or-death struggle, haven't we?"

"The Uchiha are too strong!"

"Even if the Uchiha appear submissive, the village must still destroy them."

"On the surface, the village elders are disciples of Hashirama Senju's brother, Tobirama Senju, and opposing the Uchiha is a legacy passed down by Tobirama Senju."

"But, in reality."

"This is just a slogan; whoever becomes Hokage will oppose the Uchiha."

"In fact, the Uchiha are only ranked second."

"The first ninja clan the village opposed was the Senju clan, the clan of Hiruzen Sarutobi's teacher and Tobirama Senju."

"Clan Head, open your eyes and look."

"Where is the mighty Senju clan now?"

"On the surface, the Senju clan merged into Konoha, but can such slogans be trusted?"

"If there had been any other way, would the Senju clan have truly been willing to give up?"

"Look at the lives of commoners; entering the ninja academy only teaches the three basic body techniques, and to accumulate merit to obtain a jutsu later, one must pay with blood."

"If Itachi were the head of the Senju clan, would Itachi be willing to dissolve the Senju clan?"

"And do not forget, the order to dissolve the Senju clan was not a decision made by Tobirama Senju, but a decision made by Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and wife of the First Hokage, on her deathbed."

"They only promoted it as a nice story, claiming this was a decision Tobirama Senju had made while he was still alive!"

"But, in reality?"

"If Tobirama Senju had truly made such a decision while alive, we Uchiha, as a top noble clan, would surely have noticed some trace of it."

"So, why?"

"To put it plainly, the Senju clan had no choice; if they did not do this, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, would not have let them go."

"Even Kushina Uzumaki, the wife of the First Hokage and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, could not stop such things!"

"She could not stop the destruction of the Uzumaki clan, and she could not protect the Senju clan either."

"Kushina Uzumaki might have high status, and Hiruzen Sarutobi and others might respect her, but when it came to interests, she was utterly useless."

"Think carefully: when Hiruzen Sarutobi first took power, did he truly oppose the Uchiha?"

"No!"

"Because before destroying the Senju clan, he could not spare any attention for the Uchiha."

"When did the village start targeting the Uchiha? Clan Head Fugaku, think about it: was it not after the destruction of the Senju clan?"

"So, do Itachi understand?"

"The village opposing the Uchiha has nothing to do with good or evil, right or wrong."

"If they could oppose the Senju clan, who were their teacher's clan, what does a mere Uchiha amount to?"

"And I can also say that after the Uchiha are destroyed, the next target will be the Hyuga clan."

Hiss!

Uchiha Fugaku drew in a sharp breath of cold air.

This was the first time he had heard Jin's analysis; it completely shattered his worldview.

So, is that how it is?

Before, he only thought the village's hostility toward the Uchiha was because Madara Uchiha had left Konoha.

But he had never considered that there was such deep meaning in these events.

However, thinking it over carefully.

What Jin said really made sense.

The Uchiha were truly targeted only after the Senju clan, having fully declared their integration into Konoha.

He trembled all over.

If that were the truth, wouldn't it prove that all his previous efforts were merely in vain?

"The Uzumaki were wiped out, the Senju went into hiding," Fugaku murmured. "The Uchiha were targeted; is the Hyuga next?"

"I was indeed too naive; Lord Jin is the one who is right."
