Sarutobi Hiruzen Admitted Defeat, a Deal!

"Useless!"

"Izanagi is an Uchiha ninjutsu. How could I possibly have made no preparations against it?"

Uchiha Jin's expression remained calm.

The crimson diamond-shaped six-pointed star spun within his eyes. His dynamic vision had been enhanced countless times over, yet Danzo still seemed far too slow in his eyes.

After that,

Danzo revived once more, only to die again.

Only after the Sharingan on his arm had been completely exhausted did he flash behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hiruzen, help me!"

And yet,

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two had long since gone numb.

Especially Danzo.

This guy kept dying and coming back to life. It was simply too frightening.

However, faced with Danzo's plea for help, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and directly shielded Danzo behind him.

"Uchiha Jin, enough!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted, then spoke in a grave tone. "I can withdraw Root and Anbu from outside the Uchiha Compound. How about it?"

"Hiruzen, how can you do that?" Danzo was stunned and immediately objected.

What a joke!

He had used countless schemes to barely force the Uchiha into a corner by taking advantage of the situation on Nine-Tails Night.

And now, with a single sentence from Sarutobi Hiruzen, all his years of effort were to be abandoned?

But in response,

Sarutobi Hiruzen could not be bothered to say more. "Shut up. I am the Hokage!"

"Hiruzen, you'll regret this!" Danzo said through gnashing teeth.

Uchiha Jin narrowed his eyes, killing intent spreading from his body.

He truly wanted to seize this opportunity to kill Danzo. Danzo had made the first move this time, and he did not believe Sarutobi Hiruzen would choose to completely fall out with him over a dead man.

Konoha was far too weak now to withstand such turmoil!

But unexpectedly,

Danzo was far too cautious. The instant he sensed danger, he hid, showing not the slightest bit of a strong man's dignity!

Still, Sarutobi Hiruzen's proposal was acceptable. Neither Konoha nor his side was fully prepared yet. It was not yet time to completely tear things apart.

"Fine, agreed!"

Uchiha Jin nodded lightly.

After saying that,

he no longer paid any attention to the Konoha F4 before him and simply turned to leave the Hokage Office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression darkened.

He watched Uchiha Jin leave with an unreadable gaze. The killing intent in his eyes was so thick it was about to erupt, but he still picked up his pipe and began puffing away, his eyes flickering as he silently considered how to break the deadlock.

Danzo spoke coldly. "Hiruzen, you are too weak!"

Even Utatane Koharu, who had been little more than background decoration, spoke angrily. "Uchiha Jin is far too arrogant. We should do everything we can to eliminate him. How can we withdraw the Anbu and Root surrounding the Uchiha?"

"I don't agree either!" Mitokado Homura declared.

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's headache only worsened.

A bunch of idiots!

When facing Uchiha Jin just now, Danzo, that useless fool, could only hide behind him. Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu had become invisible, yet now that the man had left, they had become arrogant instead.

He truly wanted to punch these idiots to death, but considering that the Sarutobi Clan alone would have difficulty completely controlling all of Konoha, he still needed the support of these three.

So, after taking a deep breath, he could only explain.

"You three idiots, haven't you noticed?"

"Uchiha Jin is completely different from the other Uchiha. He truly dares to fight us to the death!"

"Especially since he controls the Uchiha's most elite Radical Faction. Leaving aside whether my current prestige is enough to rally all of Konoha, even if all of Konoha were willing to follow me in fighting the Uchiha, Konoha would be Severely Weakened after wiping out those Uchiha."

"How would a weakened Konoha deal with the other Four Great Shinobi Villages then?"

"And don't forget!"

"The Radical Faction is stationed outside the Sarutobi Clan Compound. Do you really want the Sarutobi Clan to be massacred too?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was icy.

He could tell that Uchiha Jin was serious. The other man had already prepared himself to die, and he wanted to drag the Sarutobi Clan down with him before he did.

Eliminate Uchiha Jin? Was that a fucking joke?

Were they sure they did not want to eliminate the Sarutobi Clan instead?

Danzo: "..."

Utatane Koharu: "..."

Mitokado Homura: "..."

The three fell completely silent, unsure what to do for a moment.

Uchiha Jin was too radical!

Ordinary members of the Radical Faction only dared to shout threats, but this guy truly dared to kill people. Moreover, he was prepared to die, clearly intending to drag others down with him first.

Looking at the silent trio, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. "Danzo, tell us."

"What's with that arm full of Sharingan? And how did you keep coming back to life after dying?"

"Also, did you learn anything about Uchiha Jin's Mangekyo Dojutsu from fighting him?"

Danzo wore a helpless expression, but he did not dare conceal anything.

He merely explained that the arm was a product of Orochimaru, though its effects were still quite unstable.

As for the Sharingan?

Naturally, they had been dug out of Uchiha secretly captured by Root!

Even though it was not yet the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, Root's methods ensured they did not lack Sharingan.

The effect of reviving after death came from Izanagi!

Finally, when he spoke of Uchiha Jin's Dojutsu, his eyes filled with extreme terror.

"Uchiha Jin's Dojutsu is terrifying. It can even be said to be impossible to block!"

"Any ninjutsu that touched it would completely dissolve. Even after a person was locked onto by his Dojutsu, no defensive measures or barrier techniques had the slightest effect."

"During our fight, Uchiha Jin used his Dojutsu very rarely. Clearly, this technique consumes a great deal."

"When fighting Uchiha Jin in the future, I suggest using large numbers of people to wear him down. Once his Dojutsu Power is exhausted, he's nothing but trash!"

Danzo explained earnestly, while Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned at his words.

He had originally thought the Wood Release experiment had succeeded, but it turned out to be merely an experimental product. Naturally, this left him deeply disappointed.

As for Izanagi, he was not tempted by it.

Not everyone could ruin their body the way Danzo had!

"Wait, that's not right!"

"Danzo, Uchiha Jin clearly saw all those Sharingan on your arm. Why didn't he question you about them, or even ask for them?"

"That doesn't make sense!"

Utatane Koharu suddenly spoke.

In response,

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff from his pipe before speaking slowly. "That only proves how troublesome Uchiha Jin is. A man who can ignore the theft of his clan's Kekkei Genkai—just imagine how patient he is, and how outrageous his goal must be."

"Wait, Hiruzen." Danzo suddenly spoke. "I have an idea!"

"There's something I haven't told you. Uchiha Jin being able to awaken the Mangekyo may have something to do with me."

"Uchiha Jin's parents are actually in Root's hands!"

"The day after Root captured his parents, news spread that Uchiha Jin had awakened the Mangekyo and ultimately decided to join the Radical Faction!"
