"He's out! He's out!"
When the indignant villagers saw Uchiha Jin walking at the very front, flames of fury burned in their eyes.
This man was the culprit behind the Nine-Tails' Rampage!
He had concealed his identity, captured the Jinchūriki, and released the Nine-Tails to destroy the village, killing and injuring countless innocent people.

As those onlookers watched, they too were incited and joined the ranks denouncing Uchiha Jin.
Such a commotion attracted the Anbu hidden nearby to maintain order.

How dare these people slander Jin!
Why?
*Why were there always people who regarded
