Chapter 281: An ordinary man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade in his arms

"The Hokage cannot be changed anytime soon. You know that well. The only way out is for the Uchiha to give up the Police Department."

As he spoke, Jingyi raised his hand and patted Uchiha Fugaku's shoulder, and said with emotion:

"In fact, you are already lucky, because the main force against you Uchiha, Shimura Danzo, was removed because of the conflict between him and me. Otherwise, Shimura Danzo is in the high-level circle, and your Uchiha life will be even more difficult."

Although the Third Hokage targeted the Uchiha, his methods were usually to cut the flesh with a soft knife. He would not cut too hard at once, but would slowly bleed the Uchiha. Even if the Uchiha knew it, they could only endure it.

But Danzo Shimura is a radical who wants to trample all the Uchiha people to death with one foot.

This is the essential difference.

Uchiha can tolerate the former, but the latter will cause Uchiha to backlash.

Of course, it also depends on whether Uchiha Fugaku, the weakest clan leader, has the courage to fight back.

The Uchiha clan is lucky to have a clan leader like him who is able to endure, because many things can be overcome by being patient.

At the same time, it is also the misfortune of the Uchiha clan to have such a cowardly clan leader.

Damn it, death is imminent and the family is about to be destroyed, yet he still endures it.

Even Gou Jian couldn't be as patient as you.

"Sir, may I know why the village has been trying to lock up Uchiha? Is it because of what Uchiha Madara did?"

In the eyes of most Uchiha people, the reason why the village targeted them can be traced back to Uchiha Madara.

"Uchiha Madara? He may be partly responsible."

Jingyi didn't expect Uchiha Fugaku to ask this question, so he didn't hide anything and answered directly:

“To put it simply, because your Uchiha talents are too terrifying, you are being targeted, and the Second Generation is worried that someone will become the next Uchiha Madara.

The Sandaime is worried that a few more Uchiha Kagami will pop up from you Uchiha. Do you understand what I mean?"

"........."

Depend on! !

When will a family’s excessive talent be targeted?

It would be fine if they were worried about the emergence of someone like Uchiha Madara in the family, but why would even someone like Uchiha Kagami be targeted?

Isn't Uchiha Kagami a traitor to the family?

In the eyes of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Kagami is a traitor who betrayed the clan and turned to his teacher, Senju Tobirama.

"Let's put it this way."

Jingyi said it more clearly: "From the perspective of strength and ability alone, if Uchiha Kagami was not a member of the Uchiha clan, then Sarutobi Hiruzen would have no chance of becoming the Third Hokage."

Uchiha Fugaku: “….”

Hinata Hiashi: “.........”

The topic ends here. Jingyi has said everything that should and can be said. As for whether to believe it or not, that is Uchiha Fugaku's business.

If it weren't for the various greetings and gifts he received on a daily basis, as well as Uchiha Mikoto's face, Jingyi would not have bothered to argue with Uchiha Fugaku about these things.

Because there's no point in arguing.

It is impossible for Uchiha Fugaku to let his clan members give up the Police Department and use the Police Department as a condition to negotiate with the top leaders in exchange for equal treatment of the family.

Even if Uchiha Fugaku is willing, others may not agree.

Uchiha Fugaku also understood this, and Shizuka had already been implicitly persuading him to give up the police department. As a condition, I would speak for you Uchiha for Uchiha Mikoto's sake and help you get the opportunity to be treated equally.

After all, Uchiha Mikoto is a member of the Uchiha clan, and Jingyi doesn't want to see the Uchiha clan targeting her and end up being blamed for it.

"Young Clan Leader, you are more courageous than him. You can improve the treatment of the branch family members, which is already very good. After all, you are only the Young Clan Leader, but that's all you can do."

Hyuga Hiashi still has some means, but unfortunately, the Hyuga clan’s problems are bigger than those of the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan could grit their teeth and give up the police department and still be at ease, but the Hyuga clan...the conflicts between the main family and the branch family cannot be resolved at all.

Improving the treatment of branch family members and restricting the main family from being arrogant and looking down on branch family members, these measures only reduce the hatred of branch family members towards main family members. Those who should hate will still hate.

Because of the dog leash, one hundred out of a hundred people are unwilling to wear it.

"You two, that's enough small talk. Happy New Year."

Jingyi didn't care whether there was tea or wine in his cup, as long as he got the idea.

After receiving the Happy New Year greetings, Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi left tactfully.

When the two left, the guards who had been waiting outside the door put the various gifts into the house.

Jingyi was too lazy to care about these people.

He told them many times not to bring anything, but unfortunately the two of them didn't listen.

After so many times, Jingyi was too lazy to care about it. After all, it was not a valuable thing, just a token of his appreciation. No one would jump out and accuse him of taking bribes or something.

The Third Hokage knew all these things, he just pretended not to know.

After all, during festivals, more people send gifts to Sarutobi's ancestral home, so Jingyi's gift is just child's play.

"gone?"

"Let's go. I wasted a lot of my saliva. These two young clan leaders are not simple people."

"Ahaha....Just take care of it yourself. I don't care about these things anyway. Hurry up and make the most of the time."

"........."

Why are you more anxious than me? !

hateful!

In the bedroom downstairs, Kushina glanced at the ceiling that was shaking continuously with dissatisfaction, and pulled the quilt over her head with a puffy face.

With the departure of Jiraiya, Nawaki, and Minato Namikaze, the house became a lot quieter this New Year.

Konoha was also in a deserted state. The bustle of the New Year failed to dispel the impact of the war, and the shadow of war still hung over the village.

On the third day after the New Year, people from the Hokage's office came on time.

In order to win the war with the Sand Village, the Third Hokage gave it his all. He did not go home to rest on New Year's Eve, but stayed in the Hokage's office to handle official business.

I don’t know if he really was so obsessed with sleep and food, or if he was afraid of his wife and didn’t dare to go home.

In the Hokage's office, Mito Kado En reported his work in a serious manner:

"According to statistics, the supplies that the village transported to River Country during the New Year are enough to support the front-line camps for two to two months. If the war can be ended during this period, then the village will not need to make any more efforts to send supplies over."

"Men Yan, are you sure you can hold on that long?"

When it comes to war, war supplies are nothing to joke about. Don't let the frontline ninjas be left without supplies, because that would be a huge joke.

The daimyo's government has been completely offended. During the New Year period, the daimyo not only did not come to Konoha in person to stroll around and stay for a few days, but he didn't even send an envoy. This was something that had never happened in previous years.

In previous years, even if the daimyo did not come in person, he would send someone to deliver greetings and gifts.

This year there is nothing.
