Nara Shikaku spoke in a deep voice.
Hearing these words, the two were stunned. Yamanaka Inoichi couldn't help but speak: "Do we need to be so extreme? Things haven't gotten to that point yet, have they?"
Akimichi Choza was also a little horrified, looking at Nara Shikaku with eyes full of disbelief.
"It's necessary, very necessary!"
"Never underestimate Uchiha Jin. The most terrifying thing about this person is that he can think."
"The things we ninja clans have done in the past, it's impossible to deceive that guy. What I'm most afraid of is Uchiha Jin settling scores with us in the future."
"After all, no matter how smart he is, his nature is still Uchiha!"
"And he's an Uchiha who has opened the Mangekyou, which proves that he is essentially an extreme person."
"This risk cannot be taken!"
Nara Shikaku's tone was serious.
Hearing these words, the two broke out in a cold sweat. Because of Uchiha Jin's style of doing things, they had really ignored Uchiha Jin's essence.
The entire ninja world knew that the crazier the Uchiha, the stronger they were!
And Uchiha Jin, who could open the Mangekyou, who knew what color was suppressed in his heart?
Although he seemed controllable now, once he truly grasped the great power of Konoha, many problems would not be so easy to say.
"Okay, I agree!"
"I'll arrange it when I get back!"
The two were silent for a moment, then nodded silently.
In response to this.
Nara Shikaku just nodded, then looked at the night outside, and finally couldn't help but sigh.
The road ahead is difficult!
At the very least.
The trouble from the Konoha higher-ups was about to descend again.
...
And indeed, it was so.
Three days later.
The common people, who could no longer bear it, directly blocked the Hokage Building, frantically clamoring for Sarutobi Hiruzen to solve the problem. If he couldn't solve the problem, he should step down immediately!
There was—no choice!
Because the Police Force was not doing its job, they could only expect the Konoha higher-ups to come forward.
However, unexpectedly.
How long had it been?
There was no movement from the Hokage Building?
A few days ago, everyone temporarily endured this matter for the sake of gossip.
And now?
Can't endure it anymore!
After all, everyone needed to eat. Could gossiping fill their stomachs?
So.
The unbearable people spontaneously blocked the entrance of the Hokage Building.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, abdicate!"
"Can the problem of the Police Force be solved? If not, then replace him with someone who can solve it as Hokage!"
"We want to eat, we want to live!"
"..."
In front of the Hokage Building, the people were filled with anger.
Everyone's faces were full of anger. Long-term resentment made them crazy, and they had no respect for Sarutobi Hiruzen at all.
In response to this.
In front of the Hokage Building, the Anbu stood guard, but they felt their scalps tingle.
Although they were powerful, they dared not act rashly against these people.
Finally.
They could only barely maintain their formation, preventing the people from storming the Hokage Building, and then turned their heads to look behind them, hoping their Hokage could think of a solution as soon as possible.
But, unfortunately.
Hokage's Office.
The current Konoha higher-ups were gathered inside, but everyone had a splitting headache.
Including—Danzo!
Clearly, he had been enjoying the public opinion war with the Uchiha during this period and had long forgotten about this matter.
"What to do?"
"This is a complete mess now. We must come up with a solution as soon as possible!"
"Hiruzen, what to do?"
"Why don't we order the Uchiha to solve this matter within today?"
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were now as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
Finally.
Unable to think of a solution, they could only hope that the Uchiha would solve it. After all, this was caused by the Uchiha.
In response to this.
Sarutobi Hiruzen rolled his eyes, put down his pipe, and said faintly: "The Police Force is undergoing reforms, nominally for the sake of the village. What reason do you have to make them give up?"
"If Konoha orders the Police Force to give up the reforms, then if there are miscarriages of justice in the future, they can throw the black pot at us, saying it was all our Konoha higher-ups' orders."
"At that time, what will you do?"
"More importantly, with this order, the Uchiha will have someone to blame, and the villagers will hate us in the future!"
Almost in an instant.
With Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, everyone present fell into dead silence again.
They were all dumbfounded!
There was no helping it.
What Uchiha Jin was playing now was an open conspiracy. No matter what they chose, it was a mistake.
"Damn it!"
"This guy, Uchiha Jin, is a bit too difficult to deal with, isn't he?"
"Is he really an Uchiha?"
Mitokado Homura's face was bitter.
In response to this.
No one could give him an answer!
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke: "Danzo, do you have a solution?"
"No!" Danzo shook his head.
He could still remain calm at this time. After all, this matter was a blow to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Of course.
Considering that everyone was an ally, he thought for a moment and still said directly: "At least there is no conventional solution. What I can think of is to kill him completely!"
"If you can't solve the problem, can't you solve the person who raised the problem?"
He had a ruthless look on his face.
For him, the head of Root, this was the best solution.
Utatane Koharu spoke: "Let's do it then!"
"Uchiha Jin indeed deserves to die!" Mitokado Homura nodded.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also became very ruthless: "Danzo, you have to do it as soon as possible. As for the problem with the Police Force, let's call Shikaku over and ask."
Immediately after.
He directly called for an Anbu and had him go find Nara Shikaku.
Ten minutes later.
Nara Shikaku came to the Hokage's office. After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's request, he pondered for a moment and then said directly: "It's very troublesome to really solve this matter. I can't think of any solution for the time being."
"As for temporary stability, I suggest letting the Anbu come forward."
"Let the Anbu temporarily take over the work of the Police Force. At least it can suppress the dissatisfaction of the people for a short period of time."
Nara Shikaku spoke slowly.
Since he had already anticipated this scene today, he naturally had already thought of a solution.
Yes!
To have him come forward and go head-to-head with the Uchiha, then he, Nara Shikaku, would definitely be unwilling.
After all...
This was a struggle between the Konoha higher-ups and the Uchiha, and it had nothing to do with their Ino-Shika-Cho.
However.
If it was just to ask him to think of a way to stabilize the chaos in Konoha, then there was no problem at all.
This was what he, as an advisor, should do!
Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment.
He finally sighed, and then said directly: "Since that's the case, then do as Shikaku said!"
Clearly.
He was also really out of options at this time and finally accepted Nara Shikaku's suggestion.
Although he was a little unwilling to let the Anbu do such dirty work as the Police Force, under the premise that the Police Force was collectively slacking off, for the stability of Konoha, he could only nod in agreement.
