Chapter 172 - Section 173

If that's the case, what is there to worry about?

"Ah, Jin-kun!" Fugaku shook his head, a bitter smile on his face: "I'm fine, just a little depressed."

"Actually, I talked about this with Aburame Shibi last night, but I'm too cautious by nature and didn't dare to agree to the Aburame Clan's request."

"But, today…"

"Seeing Jin-kun agree without a second thought, without even considering it, I…"

"I saw the difference between us, so I'm just feeling a bit emotional for a moment."

Uchiha Jin suddenly understood.

So that's how it was!

After a moment of thought, he slowly spoke.

"Actually, being a leader is very simple."

"As long as you're willing to take responsibility for your subordinates and dare to make a final decision when faced with major choices, that's enough."

"Why is the Aburame Clan willing to follow us? Isn't it because they feel the Uchiha can protect them?"

"If you don't even dare to save people or confront the Hokage, why would they follow you?"

"Are you going to throw them out to take the blame when you encounter trouble?"

"Today, the Aburame Clan has set a good precedent, but the Uchiha must not have any problems going forward."

"For this, we rely on you, Clan Head."

"You must stabilize the Uchiha Clan internally, and absolutely not let anyone with ulterior motives cause trouble, otherwise, this great situation could easily be ruined."

"Especially Uchiha Setsuna!"

"…"

Chapter 124: Sarutobi Hiruzen's Defense Breaks, This is My Tea!

Uchiha Jin's tone was solemn.

Although Uchiha Setsuna didn't cause trouble during last night's operation, he still couldn't feel at ease about him.

He could see it.

The look in his eyes towards him was filled with malice and killing intent.

It was just that…

Last night's matter was too big, involving the survival of the Uchiha.

That's why he didn't dare to cause trouble, but if there were no external threats, he would definitely seize the opportunity to stir things up.

Fugaku nodded.

Although he didn't think as much as Jin, he knew that Uchiha Setsuna, as the leader of the radical faction, would absolutely not want his power to be usurped.

"Jin-kun, don't worry."

"It wasn't easy for the Uchiha to reach this point, and I will never allow anyone to cause trouble."

"Besides my family, the clan is the most important thing in my heart!"

"I don't care much about power. If the clan truly stabilizes, I wouldn't mind giving up this position of Clan Head."

"But, not now."

"Struggling for power needs to be timed. At such a critical moment, whoever dares to cause trouble, I will kill them!"

Fugaku's expression was serious.

Having awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan long ago, he feared no one in the entire Uchiha Clan except Jin.

Just as he said, the Uchiha reaching this point was extremely difficult.

Without Uchiha Jin, it would have been utterly impossible.

Therefore.

At this crucial juncture, whoever dares to stick their head out, he will kill them!

About half an hour later.

Seeing that there was nothing else, Fugaku excused himself and left.

At this time, Itachi also arrived.

After casually arranging Itachi's studies, he brought out his grand armchair, plopped down, and began to sunbathe.

Last night, he was truly exhausted.

Now that things had completely stabilized today, he naturally needed a good rest.

But, unfortunately.

Fate had other plans!

Before Jin could even fall completely asleep, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked in.

Uchiha Jin: "…"

He looked bewildered.

What was this guy doing here?

However.

Even though he was constantly complaining internally, he still quickly got up.

"Hokage-sama!"

"You're truly a rare guest, please come in and sit."

"Itachi, make tea!"

Yawning, Uchiha Jin said with a smile.

Itachi dared not delay.

He immediately stopped his training and ran off to make tea.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Uchiha Jin and Sarutobi Hiruzen also sat at the tea table.

"It looks like Jin didn't sleep well last night!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.

He had a benevolent expression.

Even Jin had to admit that this appearance was indeed good.

Firstly.

Upon first seeing him, one would be inclined to trust him.

But after hearing his question, Jin still couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Damn it.

Don't you know whether I slept well last night or not?

I was climbing on your wall all night, alright?

But… considering that he couldn't turn hostile for now, he could only nod gravely.

"You can say that again."

"The Uchiha Clan, its roots are rotten."

"The Police Force is also a mess."

"Ever since I took over, I've been racking my brains!"

"There are too many things to worry about every day, a thousand loose ends with no clear end."

"So."

"Considering the Uchiha's terrible reputation, I also want to do something practical for the village to salvage the Uchiha's precarious reputation."

"Last night, to research new laws, I stayed up all night."

"Ah, please excuse me, Hokage-sama!"

Yes.

When it came to thick skin, he truly wasn't afraid.

Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

After all, these are just pleasantries; whoever believes them is an idiot!
