Half an hour later.
With a heavy heart, Jiraiya slowly left the Uchiha clan grounds and came to the streets of the village.
Then.
He was completely dumbfounded!
Compared to the harmony and stability of the Uchiha clan grounds, the current village was a mess. He had just walked past two streets and found seven or eight quarrels, and two of them even turned into fights directly.
Besides that.
There were Anbu everywhere, and having just taken over the Police Force, they obviously couldn't handle these messy affairs.
On one hand.
They couldn't be impartial!
No matter who the backer was, even if it was the Hokage's Sarutobi clan, the Uchiha would arrest them if they made a mistake, but the Anbu obviously couldn't do that.
But more importantly, they were annoyed and unhappy!
At first, they could patiently persuade, but as time passed, they completely exposed the nature of the Anbu.
If you had a ninja clan supporting you, it was fine; otherwise, they would arrest people without a word, and their actions were much more ruthless than the Uchiha. After all, the Anbu did killing work.
And this double standard behavior also made the common people's resentment heavier and heavier.
Jiraiya saw with his own eyes that a villager just pointed at an Anbu's nose and cursed out of anger, and then was slapped by the Anbu, which caused the civilian's arm to break, and then he was handcuffed and taken away directly.
There was no helping it!
The physical gap between ninjas and civilians was too big, and the Anbu was an organization mainly for killing. Even if the Anbu didn't want to hurt him and even tried to control the force as much as possible, it still caused the civilian's arm to break completely.
Jiraiya opened his mouth, trying to say something.
But, in the end.
After a long sigh, he shook his head and left.
Because he knew it was useless!
Jiraiya himself came from a civilian background, so he knew very well that there was actually no right or wrong in neighborhood matters. The Anbu had just come into contact with the Police Force work, and maybe it didn't have much to do with them.
After all—they were Anbu!
Could you expect an organization that hid in the dark every day and performed dirty work like assassination to handle the trivial matters among villagers well?
"Uchiha Jin, you are really ruthless!"
"Just by adding some requirements to the Police Force, you forced the village into a corner, and nominally, there's no way to find fault."
"The deterioration of the situation in the village now far exceeds my initial imagination."
"Relying on me alone is still too difficult."
"Go find Tsunade?"
"No, forget it!"
"If she learns about the rumors spread by the Uchiha, who knows what that woman will do."
"Difficult!"
Jiraiya shook his head helplessly, and then returned to the Hokage's office.
This time.
He didn't use the window; he pushed the door and entered.
Clearly.
When he just returned to Konoha in the morning, he didn't have the mind to observe carefully, so his mood was naturally relaxed.
Now, it was different!
After truly going deep into Konoha and understanding the situation, he didn't even have the mood to go to the bathhouse to gather material.
On the other side.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, sitting behind the desk smoking, looked at the dejected Jiraiya in front of him, but there was not a trace of fluctuation on his face.
"What? Hit hard?"
Jiraiya nodded dejectedly.
He found a chair randomly, sat down backwards, supported the back of the chair with both hands, and rested his head on his hands.
Yes!
The situation in the village was too complicated, and he didn't know where to start.
Uchiha Jin was too difficult to deal with!
He was not a strong person in the traditional sense; otherwise, a fight would solve it. But for this kind of guy who played with brains, he really couldn't think of a way for a while.
Because for many things, you knew it was wrong, but you just couldn't find a reason!
"It's normal, don't overthink it."
"I called you back this time just to prevent the Uchiha from getting desperate."
"Solving the Uchiha threat doesn't require you, Jiraiya!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was relaxed.
Clearly!
He never thought of letting Jiraiya handle these things. It was just because there were too few experts in the village, so he wanted to find a few more experts to guard the village.
On the other side.
Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but say: "Although the Police Force's rhetoric makes sense, it is a fact that the village situation has begun to become chaotic. Can we directly remove the Uchiha from the Police Force?"
"At that time, the village will come forward and summon the major ninja clans in the village. Each family only needs to contribute a few ninjas to reorganize the Police Force, right?"
Jiraiya gave his opinion!
As long as he was not the person in charge and didn't have such a heavy burden on him, his brain began to turn slowly.
But, unfortunately.
Hearing Jiraiya's opinion, Sarutobi Hiruzen rolled his eyes: "I'm sure the Uchiha have no objection. That guy Jin wanted to throw away the Police Force long ago, but the problem is, who will take over next?"
"The Anbu only took over for less than half a month, and now their reputation is worse than the Uchiha before. Do you think the clan heads of other ninja clans are fools?"
Jiraiya was instantly embarrassed.
Seems like it!
So in the end, he sighed helplessly, waved his hand, and left the Hokage's office.
Before leaving, he said a sentence.
"I won't leave the village recently. If there's anything, just come find me."
"As for where I am, I believe the Anbu can find me."
"Leaving!"
After speaking.
Jiraiya left dashingly, and Sarutobi Hiruzen did not stop him.
Just as he said before, he didn't expect Jiraiya to solve this matter.
After all, he knew better than anyone how difficult Uchiha Jin was to deal with, so as long as Jiraiya stayed in Konoha and could be found at critical moments, it was enough.
...
Time passed slowly.
After returning to the village, Jiraiya wanted to rise up and settle the Uchiha, but was directly rebuffed by Uchiha Jin. The so-called Gallant Jiraiya turned back into a lecherous prodigal son.
On the other side.
The Uchiha did not take other actions either, still sticking to their own territory. The Police Force had long become a decoration, and its functions had actually been completely replaced by the Anbu.
Uchiha Jin fell into dormancy.
Apart from necessary training every day, he silently recovered his pupil power!
He was waiting!
Waiting for Danzo's action!
Uchiha Jin could have killed Danzo directly back then, but in the end, he chose to spare Danzo just to squeeze out Danzo's remaining value. Now it was naturally time for Danzo to show his value.
Three days later.
Danzo took the authorization letter signed by the Hokage and began to visit the major ninja clans in the village.
First was Ino-Shika-Cho!
Nara Clan, Clan Head's residence.
Because Danzo had sent a visiting card in advance, Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inoichi were naturally there too.
Looking at Danzo who walked in, Nara Shikaku's eyes were slightly cold.
After all—he came with ill intent!
However.
He still invited Danzo to sit down and made him a cup of tea.
"Elder Danzo visiting Ino-Shika-Cho, I wonder what instructions you have?"
