Uchiha Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.
Regarding Uchiha Amano's inquiry, his brain couldn't help but start thinking frantically.
Now that his power had reached its limit, with Danzo's recent frantic actions, he had won over almost everyone he could. The remaining Uchiha like Fugaku and Shisui were existences he could never win over.
So, now.
It was indeed time to have a heart-to-heart talk. After all, many of his subsequent actions would require the complete cooperation of everyone present!
There was no helping it.
For him, who had no system and no Eternal Mangekyou, it was almost impossible to take on Konoha alone. The only ones he could rely on now were these Uchiha in front of him.
Taking a deep breath, he spoke slowly.
"Elder Amano is right. I actually saw through it long ago!"
"It's just that the Uchiha is a clan that speaks with strength. I was confident that even if I spoke up back then, the clansmen would not have any trust in me."
"Therefore, all I could do was to protect myself!"
With Uchiha Jin's words, everyone present couldn't help but nod slowly.
Yes!
The Uchiha clan relied on strength!
A person without any strength, even someone from the Moderate Faction like Shisui, would not listen to a single word you said.
Uchiha Setsuna also spoke up immediately: "Jin-kun's choice was not wrong. The Uchiha are indeed a bit extreme. Now is not the time to talk about those things. Let's get straight to business."
"It's a common problem for all Uchiha to lack wisdom. Take this opportunity to let Jin-kun talk to everyone about the overall situation."
"At the very least!"
"Let everyone have a basic understanding of the village and the clan!"
With these words, everyone nodded.
Everyone was indeed very interested in this matter. After all, whether it was the Radical Faction, the Moderate Faction, or the Neutral Faction, basically everyone was not good at using their brains.
Now that they had the opportunity to understand these things, everyone was naturally very eager to listen.
They also really wanted to know why Jin was certain that the village wanted to kill the Uchiha during the Third War.
In response to this.
Uchiha Jin did not refuse, nodded, and then spoke: "Since everyone wants to listen, then I'll just chat casually."
"This is good!" everyone said one after another.
Uchiha Jin didn't waste any time and asked directly: "Everyone knows that Senju Hashirama became the Hokage by relying on his strength to suppress the ninja world; although Senju Tobirama's strength was not as good as the First's, he was still top-notch in the entire ninja world, not to mention that his calculation and planning abilities were also top-notch."
"So—what about Sarutobi Hiruzen?"
"Could it be just because of his boasted so-called—strongest Hokage?"
Uchiha Jin's face was full of disdain.
After hearing this inquiry, everyone present was bewildered.
That's right!
They might have limited understanding of the First and Second Hokage, but they were quite familiar with Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Saying he was powerful? They didn't really know!
Because Sarutobi Hiruzen had only been on the battlefield a few times during the Second War, and then he was stationed in Konoha and no longer went to the battlefield. Even the Konoha F4 basically did not go to the battlefield either.
But...
They sat firmly in the position of Hokage. For so many years, no one had any meaning, and everyone was even used to this point, not feeling anything was wrong at all.
And now?
After being told this by Uchiha Jin, they finally reacted.
That's right!
This damn thing is indeed not right!
Think about the Kage of other villages. The Fourth Raikage A was physically invincible and could fight to a draw with Namikaze Minato. If not for the Flying Thunder God Technique, Namikaze Minato would not have been his match.
The Third Raikage, not to mention.
Onoki's Dust Release, his strength was not just for show.
Yagura Karatachi of the Mist Village and Rasa of the Sand Village, their strength could also be tested on the battlefield.
What about Sarutobi Hiruzen?
Everyone said he was the strongest Hokage, a professor of ninjutsu and so on, but no one really knew his true strength.
"Yeah, why?"
"The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, seems to only talk about the Will of Fire."
"They say he is the 'Professor', but he is rarely seen in action!"
"Don't understand!"
Everyone present spoke up one after another.
Even the few older Uchiha were now confused and shook their heads, unable to say.
Finally.
They could only turn their gazes to Uchiha Jin, waiting for this leader's answer to this matter.
In response to this.
Uchiha Jin sighed softly.
"Actually, someone already gave the answer just now."
"It's the Will of Fire!"
"And this point was not determined from the beginning, but was determined by Sarutobi Hiruzen later."
"In the beginning, Sarutobi Hiruzen was able to become the Third Hokage, on one hand, because of Senju Tobirama's dying wish, but more so because of Uzumaki Mito's support."
"When Sarutobi Hiruzen truly became the Hokage and was preparing to show his skills, his heart completely turned cold."
"At that time, the Senju clan, under pressure from Uzumaki Mito, although they didn't deny him as the Hokage, they basically ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen, engaging in feigned compliance and passive resistance."
"The Uchiha, not to mention, simply looked down on him as the Hokage!"
"With the Senju and Uchiha like this, let alone the other ninja clans. It can be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen at that time was just a puppet!"
"How did the situation change?"
"At that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was forced by circumstances. Without the real power of the Hokage, he could only go to the Ninja Academy to promote his damn Will of Fire. After all, he couldn't do anything else at that time."
"But later, the Second Great Ninja War broke out, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's opportunity came."
"Does everyone remember Senju Nawaki? He was the hope of the Senju clan, the most promising candidate for the Fourth Hokage, but he was directly blown to death by an exploding tag just as he went to the battlefield."
"But, here comes the problem!"
"What is the characteristic of the Senju clan? Strong chakra and extremely strong vitality!"
"Even if an exploding tag hits an Uchiha head-on, it will most likely only cause serious injury. The possibility of directly killing them is extremely low. But Senju Nawaki, who had strong vitality, died, and even the medical sage Tsunade couldn't save him."
"From then on, the Senju clan suffered a heavy blow!"
"Later, Sarutobi Hiruzen initiated the Hashirama cell experiment, claiming to reproduce the First Hokage's powerful Wood Style. What followed was the tragic death of a large number of Senju clan members on the experiment table."
"In addition, in the early stages of the Second War, most of the Senju clan rushed to the front lines of the war. The combination of these two things led to the exhaustion of the Senju clan's elites. The remaining Senju clan, in order to preserve their strength, could only use Tobirama's plan to integrate into Konoha. Some people gave up their surnames to become civilians, and some chose to defect to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire."
"At this point, the Senju completely perished."
"But the reputation of the Senju clan still existed, and Tsunade and Uzumaki Mito were still there. It was at this time that Dan Kato came to the fore."
"He and Tsunade were in a relationship, and with the backing of the Senju, his voice for becoming the Fourth Hokage was very high."
"And then, he died!"
"The Uzumaki clan was unwilling to join Konoha and was mysteriously exterminated when they were besieged. At that time, Konoha had masters like the Sannin and Hatake Sakumo, but only one Uzumaki Kushina was rescued, along with the Uzumaki clan's sealing jutsu inheritance."
"Thinking of this makes me want to laugh. They couldn't save the people, but they could get back all the sealing jutsu inheritance."
"Everyone, isn't that interesting?"
"Next is Hatake Sakumo, who also had a high voice for becoming the Fourth Hokage, and then committed suicide mysteriously."
"I'm puzzled!"
"I remember Hatake Sakumo was performing an S-rank mission, and A-rank missions require a certain level of confidentiality. A dignified S-rank mission was spread all over the streets in one day, and the so-called confidentiality procedures were eaten by a dog."
"Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, and there was no accountability afterwards. It was just muddled through like that."
"Then there was Orochimaru who was discovered doing human experiments and defected. This matter, in my opinion, is even more bullshit. You have to know that Orochimaru was from a civilian background. Although there were ninja clans supporting him to become the Fourth Hokage, the problem is that these ninja clans would not support him in doing human experiments?"
"Doing human experiments requires money, and various high-end equipment requires astronomical figures."
"Where did the money come from?"
"If you say there was no village support, I don't believe it!"
"Considering that before Orochimaru's defection, it was when his voice for becoming the Fourth Hokage was the highest, then it goes without saying that this was definitely filled with the calculations of the Konoha higher-ups."
"They didn't want Orochimaru to take office because although Orochimaru was a civilian, his actions were ruthless and he had persistence. He would not become Sarutobi Hiruzen's puppet!"
"So, he either defected or died!"
"Finally, Namikaze Minato is even more interesting. It is well known that he was from a civilian background. Sarutobi Hiruzen let him become the Hokage, hoping that he would be a puppet."
"But the problem is that Namikaze Minato had his own persistence. Since he became the Hokage, he also hoped to do his own business."
"So he placed Kakashi in the Anbu and created his own Hokage Guard. Isn't this trying to seize power from Sarutobi Hiruzen?"
"And then, he died!"
"Everyone, have you noticed it now? Anyone who wanted to seize the power of the F4, almost all of them died in the end, with only Orochimaru becoming a rogue ninja!"
"Sarutobi Hiruzen uses the Will of Fire to control Konoha. Anyone who might affect their power will eventually die for various reasons."
"Now, it's the Uchiha's turn!"
"On one hand, the Uchiha are disobedient, strong but unstable in character, and the village is now very short of money. This piece of fat meat is naturally ready to be slaughtered!"
