"Wait, you're saying you killed Shimura Danzō?"
Minato Namikaze's eyes widened. For a moment, he wondered whether he had misheard.
He knew a little about the grudges and conflicts between Jin and Danzo.
Although Shimura Danzō had stayed in Root without showing his face since Minato took office, Minato Namikaze had never abandoned the idea of disbanding Root.
He had been busy staying with Kushina as she prepared to give birth, planning to consider disbanding Root after the child was safely born.
After all, the village already had the Anbu. There was no point in keeping Root.
He was not Hiruzen Sarutobi. He would never let anyone else build a private army.
Yet before Minato Namikaze could disband Root, Uchiha Jin had killed Shimura Danzō.
That did not seem like a bad thing, either.
At least with Shimura Danzō dead, no one would stand in the way of disbanding Root.
"Yes."
Uchiha Jin's expression remained calm.
"Shimura Danzō colluded with the Mysterious Man. He collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the village. He deserved to die."
The things Danzo had done in secret over the years were enough to get him dragged out and beheaded hundreds of times.
Ultimately, it was all because Hiruzen Sarutobi had indulged him.
While the Third was in office, Shimura Danzō had acted without restraint. After Minato Namikaze took over, he had clearly become better behaved.
That alone said enough.
Minato Namikaze's expression grew complicated at his words.
He did not doubt what Jin said.
The other Uchiha Clan members could testify to this, and Jin had no reason to deceive him about something like this.
Surely Uchiha Jin had not killed Shimura Danzō amid the chaos, then framed him for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the village.
