You heard right, I said a force!
As long as they raise the banner of maintaining Konoha's public order, the Police Force has the authority to conscript Konoha Ninja.
So, think about it.
The Police Force isn't just a simple police station.
It's a complex entity encompassing the police, courts, prosecution, detention centers, and prisons. It even holds some authority from the Senate and House of Representatives, and finally, it has the right to establish an armed Police Force.
Isn't that impressive?
From this, one can see the heavy price the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, paid to appease Uchiha Madara, who didn't become Hokage.
It's just, unfortunately...
The Uchiha were a bunch of idiots who simply didn't know how to play the game.
If it had been any other Ninja Clan, relying solely on the Police Force, a small Ninja Clan could have swelled into a large Ninja Clan in a short period.
Therefore, at this moment...
Perhaps everyone hasn't decided whether to side with the Uchiha or the Hokage faction.
But, one thing is clear:
No Ninja Clan is willing to participate in attacking the Uchiha tonight!
After all, the Uchiha haven't broken the rules of the game, so for now, it's still a struggle between the Hokage and the Uchiha.
It actually has little to do with these Ninja Clans.
So...
Now everyone is just considering which side to join next.
"Alright, everyone understands the situation now."
"The attack on the Uchiha today is called off."
"As for Uchiha Tekka, please tell Uchiha Jin-kun for me:"
"I will visit him tomorrow morning."
"Meeting adjourned."
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke with difficulty.
After speaking,
He couldn't help but take a deep breath, then walked out with a dejected expression.
Torifu Koharu and Mitokado Homura wanted to say something, but in the end, they chose to give up.
There's no other way; just think about it.
There were Uchiha Jonin lurking in their own Clan Grounds, ready to wipe out their clan members the moment they made a move.
Wouldn't that be terrifying?
So, forget it!
They sighed helplessly, ultimately choosing to remain silent.
They were old.
Although they wanted to deal with the Uchiha, they didn't want to sacrifice their own clan members.
A moment later,
As the Konoha F4 departed, the various Ninja Clans exchanged glances and all let out helpless sighs.
And their gazes, at this moment, began to turn incredibly complex and eerie.
Clearly,
Even though this meeting ended without resolution, the real test for them had only just begun.
In the upcoming struggle, which side would they choose?
...Meanwhile, on the other side.
Outside the Hokage's residence, in the Sarutobi Clan's territory.
Uchiha Jin and Fugaku were hiding together in a large tree.
Both of them were waiting.
As soon as a red signal flare rose from the Uchiha Clan Grounds, they would immediately rush in and first eliminate Sarutobi Hiruzen's family.
Following that,
They would begin to split up and raid the entire Sarutobi Clan.
Perhaps the Sarutobi Clan had many ninja, but in reality, neither Jin nor Fugaku truly took them seriously.
Although the Sarutobi Clan had amassed countless village funds due to Sarutobi Hiruzen being Hokage,
However, similarly,
Ninja nurtured by resources and ninja who frequently saw blood on the battlefield were fundamentally not on the same level.
As for the Sarutobi Clan's ninja, if they wished,
With the Mangekyo activated, it would take at most ten minutes.
The entire Sarutobi Clan would be slaughtered by the two of them.
Yes.
Just now,
When the two of them first entered the Sarutobi Clan's territory, Fugaku had laid his cards on the table.
He, too, possessed the Mangekyo!
Two Mangekyo users against the Sarutobi Clan was a fitting challenge for the Hokage!
"Hey, Jin-kun."
"Are you confident about that letter you wrote just now?"
"Do we really have no other choice?"
Fugaku couldn't help but ask.
Yes.
Even though he had made his choice, he was still in great pain.
One must know that...
Once the signal flare went up, they could indeed wipe out the Sarutobi Clan.
But, at the same time,
The entire Uchiha Clan would also be completely annihilated.
His wife, his children... sigh!
Meanwhile, on the other side,
Uchiha Jin's expression was calm.
In the current Uchiha Clan, he was practically alone.
His only regrets were his subordinate Tekka and his disciple Itachi.
However,
He had no choice!
Since it had come to this, even if he didn't choose to go mad, the Uchiha would still be destroyed.
At least,
According to his plan, even if the Uchiha were destroyed, it wouldn't be meaningless.
"Clan Head Fugaku, don't worry."
"Sarutobi Hiruzen is not young anymore; he's no longer the Ninja Hero he once was."
"Most likely, we will win!"
"You should look at it positively; we, the Uchiha, never had a choice to begin with."
"If we don't want to be slowly boiled to death by the village like a frog in warm water, then we have no choice but to fight to the death."
"No madness, no life!"
"What we can do now is to find life in death!"
"At any cost!"
