Chapter 95: Hiruzen Sarutobi Acts, Directly Surrounding the Police Force
Uchiha Jin spoke softly.
Through his recent interactions with Fugaku, he had discovered that while this clan leader of his was indeed lacking in ability,
his character was actually quite decent.
As long as your reasoning held water, he would choose to support Itachi.
He was also his disciple's father, and their relationship was now quite good.
More importantly, he kept his mouth shut.
As a transmigrator, he naturally knew that Fugaku had most likely awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan by now.
But, until now,
he had held his tongue and not said a word; even his wife and children did not know.
A person like that.
Even if he were told a few secrets, it would not fundamentally change anything.
The facts bore this out.
After listening, Fugaku's expression shifted slightly, and he looked at Uchiha Jin in surprise.
However,
he then nodded slightly, did not press further, and acted as if he had heard nothing at all.
"Lord Jin, regarding this matter before us," Fugaku pondered for a moment and spoke in a deep tone, "I fear it will be difficult to explain."
"All those killed today were Hidden Leaf ninja. Have Itachi considered how to explain this to the Hokage?"
"More importantly, Danzo!"
"Lord Jin, Itachi may not fully understand, but Danzo is extremely difficult to deal with and is a close associate of Hiruzen Sarutobi."
"He will absolutely not let this matter drop easily!"
As he spoke, his tone grew serious.
Although Danzo was a Hidden Leaf elder, his presence in the village was not very prominent.
He often hides in the shadows and rarely appears in public.
But, the same applies.
Fugaku, as the Uchiha clan head, was nonetheless extremely wary of that man, Danzo.
After all.
When it came to dealing with the Uchiha, Danzo was the vanguard of the Hidden Leaf's high command.
Considering Jin was still young and had previously kept his distance from the clan, he might not know Danzo, so Fugaku explained in great detail.
"It's fine, Clan Head, rest assured," Uchiha Jin said, shrugging his shoulders. "Since I dared to do this, I naturally made full preparations."
"When the Hokage arrives later, Itachi, Clan Head, will say nothing."
"Leave everything to me to handle!"
Upon hearing this, Fugaku hesitated.
However, after a moment of thought, he nodded.
Yes.
He felt slightly worried in his heart, after all, the implications of this matter were too great.
The relationship between the Uchiha and the village was already tense; if it were revealed that the Uchiha had killed a fellow village ninja, especially one from Danzo's Root this time.
Thinking of this, his head throbbed.
In contrast, Uchiha Jin.
He now wore a relaxed expression, not taking the matter seriously at all.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Just as Jin and Fugaku were chatting, the departing Anbu member spurred his horse on.
He delivered these reports directly to the Hokage Tower.
"What? The entire elite force of Root annihilated?"
"And no other Uchiha intervened; only Uchiha Jin acted alone?"
"How can he be so strong?"
"Uchiha Jin's Mangekyo Sharingan? Itachi didn't even sense any chakra fluctuations before the Anbu's bodies instantly collapsed?"
"Truly, damn it!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was grim.
After hearing the Anbu's report, besides anger, what filled his heart most was fear.
Uchiha Jin's Mangekyo was too difficult to deal with!
Even though he was known as the Professor of Ninjutsu, unless he was willing to pay with his life, he could not think of a way to counter Uchiha Jin's Mangekyo.
Yes.
It was merely fear, far from being true terror.
Because if he was willing to pay the price, killing Uchiha Jin would truly not be difficult.
There were plenty of methods.
The Hidden Leaf's reserves were incredibly deep.
Reaper Death Seal, Adamantine Sealing Chains, Four Red Yang Formation, Inner Four Symbols Seal...
The Hidden Leaf had many such forbidden techniques.
But to use these forbidden techniques required a price too great; unless it was absolutely necessary, Hiruzen Sarutobi truly did not wish to employ them.
Even...
If he were truly driven to desperation, he could simply perform the Impure World Reincarnation.
Summon the brothers Hashirama and Tobirama, find two more Kage-level experts, and directly use the Sage Art: Gate of the Great God.
Hiruzen Sarutobi truly did not believe he could not kill a Uchiha Jin!
As for Kage-level experts, the Hidden Leaf truly lacked none.
His three disciples, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru; any one of them coming to help would suffice.
The Hidden Leaf being the strongest ninja village was no empty title.
This was also the reason why Uchiha Jin, even with such strength, still chose to lie low.
To truly overturn the table with Hiruzen Sarutobi, one would at least need the power of the Six Paths of Pain.
He was still far from that!
This was the confidence that allowed Hiruzen Sarutobi to move against the Uchiha.
Do not think that in the original story, it was Uchiha Itachi who acted.
That was simply because doing so incurred the smallest price.
It did not mean that without Uchiha Itachi, Hiruzen Sarutobi would not act.
What kind of joke is that!
Was the Senju clan back then inferior to the Uchiha?
· ·········Requesting flowers····· ······
Wasn't it played to death by him?
In these years, the Hidden Leaf has declined greatly, but a dying camel is still larger than a horse.
A mere Uchiha Jin indeed seemed very troublesome.
But he was far from terrifying to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Immediately notify the Sealing Team, the Jonin Team, the major ninja clans, the two elders..."
"Gather everyone and head to the Police Force!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke coldly.
Cold light flickered in his eyes, and he ground his teeth in fury.
He hated it!
His campaign against the Uchiha had proceeded smoothly from the start.
Those Uchiha fools had been so duped they couldn't find their way north.
But who could have expected this?
This foolish Uchiha clan, at such a critical moment, had suddenly produced a powerful newcomer from the heavens.
Damn it.
... ..... 0
Never mind, it doesn't matter now.
The most important thing now is to resolve this immediate situation.
He actually wanted to meet this newly appointed Uchiha elder in person.
"Yes!"
Black Crow bowed and withdrew, then ordered the Anbu Black Ops to carry out the task.
Only ten minutes passed.
The heads of all major ninja clans, except those on the front lines, were now all assembled.
The Sealing Squad, the Anbu Black Ops, the Torture and Interrogation Force...
Every strong person remaining in the Hidden Leaf Village had come upon receiving the order.
They were puzzled,
but facing such a display, no one dared to speak first.
"Hiruzen, what's wrong?"
"It's late at night; is a ninja village attacking?"
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were both somewhat confused at this moment.
Unlike the others,
they were closest to Hiruzen Sarutobi, so they asked without any hesitation.
Especially seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi in his combat gear, their expressions grew grave.
"There's no time to explain," Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly. "Everyone, target the Police Force."
"Move out!"
