He could see through the very foundations of society.
It was as if there was nothing in this world he didn't understand.
So, he was truly amazing!
But, the problem was...
His own teacher was too unreliable!
It's one thing to steal the Hokage's tea leaves, but at least be a little more discreet!
To take them out right in front of him, wasn't that a slap in the Hokage's face?
...In fact, it was exactly like that.
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry his lungs almost exploded.
He kept trying to suppress the rage in his heart, otherwise, he was genuinely afraid he might lose control and just slap Uchiha Jin.
Damn it.
Have some shame!
Such a valuable item, you just picked it up outside your door after waking up?
Go out and pick me up another one, let's see you do it!
Even if you want an excuse, please find a reliable one, okay?
But, he couldn't say anything.
Although he knew very well that the teapot, teacups, and tea leaves in front of him were all his, he couldn't actually say it directly.
Otherwise, if he did...
They would truly be tearing off all pretenses between them.
He couldn't take that risk.
Although their actions last night, especially Uchiha Jin's letter, had in fact already torn things a bit.
But, similarly...
As long as he didn't make an issue of that letter, and Uchiha Jin didn't bring it up, they, not yet fully prepared, could still maintain peace on the surface.
So, he endured.
After all, he wasn't truly prepared at this moment.
Considering his purpose, he took a deep breath, then slowly began to speak.
"Jin-kun, let's be straightforward."
"I feel that between us, it's better if we are truly sincere."
"What you want to do was made very clear last night."
"I will not hinder your actions; at least until the war ends, I don't want Konoha to fall into complete chaos."
"Yes, war!"
"I imagine the Uchiha wouldn't want to inherit a broken Konoha, would they?"
"The situation in the Shinobi World is volatile now; the three great Hidden Villages are all at war with Konoha, and even Kirigakure, which signed a peace treaty, could tear up the agreement at any time."
"Konoha cannot fall into chaos now; we must first unite against the enemy!"
"Especially in the Land of Grass."
"Minato has an important mission there. Your former teammates, Uchiha Shisui, Hyuga Aya, and Nara Kazama, are all there."
"I hope you can go there and assist Minato in completing the mission."
"I can guarantee that during your time away from Konoha, I will absolutely not make a move against the Uchiha clan."
"Furthermore, as a condition..."
"You can choose one Forbidden Jutsu from the metal scroll!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't bother with pleasantries.
He felt that if he continued to argue with Uchiha Jin, he probably wouldn't need the Uchiha to make a move; he himself would be pissed to death by this bastard.
So, he gave up.
He was too lazy to keep up the pretense and directly stated his purpose.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Uchiha Jin's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.
His brain began to work frantically, constantly weighing the gains and losses.
After a long while...
He took a deep breath and immediately held up two fingers.
"Two Forbidden Jutsu," Uchiha Jin said calmly, "And, I also want a person!"
"Hokage-sama, don't be too quick to refuse. Since I dare to say this, I naturally have my reasons."
"Although I truly don't understand what you are planning over there..."
"You definitely need to transfer me away from Konoha, and since you need me to take risks, you must give me the necessary benefits."
"Risk and reward must be proportional, mustn't they?"
"Namikaze Minato, I admire him greatly!"
"But something even the 'Yellow Flash' can't handle must be exceptionally dangerous."
"Not to mention, besides the enemies, I also have to guard against 'Pot-King' trying to screw me over!"
"Hokage-sama, don't deny it!"
"I understand Danzo Shimura's character very well; you can't control him."
--- Please give flowers --- "Just two Forbidden Jutsu, in exchange for a chance to get rid of me."
"Hokage-sama, it's a very good deal!"
At this moment, Uchiha Jin was like a salesman.
He was trying his best to sell himself for a good price.
Yes.
Since Sarutobi Hiruzen was the first to drop the act, he naturally didn't bother to pretend either.
There were indeed things in Konoha's Forbidden Jutsu scroll that interested him.
Taking a risk for it was well worth it!
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth twitched when he heard the title 'Pot-King'.
This... uh!
It was very appropriate.
Because, in essence, wasn't his original intention in grooming Danzo to have someone to blame?
The Hokage couldn't have any stains on his reputation.
So, the one to bear the stains could only be Danzo!
Otherwise... why give him so much authority?
As for Uchiha Jin's statement, it also made him fall into deep thought.
A moment later, he immediately spoke.
"Alright, tell me."
"I agree to this condition!"
Uchiha Jin smiled.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately spoke.
"Spirit Transformation Technique and Eight Gates Release Formation, and Genin Might Dai!"
Yes.
These were what he wanted most.
The Eight Gates Release Formation needed no further explanation, although he could also find a way to get it from Might Dai.
