If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too!
Chapter 93 If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too!
"I'm going to be Hokage?"
Even though he knew that he was almost impossible to fall for genjutsu after activating the Mangekyou Sharingan, Fugaku Uchiha, who had arrived late, still felt a sense of unreality and disorientation.
At this moment, Elder Setsuna, who was standing next to Fugaku Uchiha, looked extremely nervous and excited, as if he felt that his decades of anticipation was about to be realized.
Ah!
It's Fugaku who's going to be Hokage... Sigh... I guess I'll just have to make do!
Uchiha Setsuna glanced at Uchiha Fugaku with a hint of disdain, but considering that everyone around them was an outsider, he reluctantly gave him an approving smile.
With the arrival of Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Setsuna, the already tense atmosphere in the arena became even more intense.
The air seemed to be filled with the smell of explosive tags, as if the two sides were about to start a fight at any moment.
"Can't!"
Koharu Utatane glanced discreetly at Hiruzen Sarutobi, her anxiety evident in her eyes.
Although Koharu's whisper was faint, in the completely silent environment, how could it possibly escape the ears of a ninja with extremely high perception?
"What?!"
Uchiha Jin suddenly took a big step forward, easily stomping a large crater in the ground in front of him. The scattered soil, along with his violent aura, resembled a giant abyss beast ready to devour its prey.
"Even a small clan like Sarutobi, who came to Konoha to seek refuge, can produce a Hokage. How could my Uchiha clan, as the founding clan of Konoha and the most powerful clan in the ninja world, not even be able to produce a mere Hokage?!"
"This is outrageous!"
Uchiha Jin turned his head and looked in the direction where Nara Shikaku and the others were, his tone filled with overwhelming killing intent as he continued in a cold voice.
"Never before has anyone dared to humiliate my Uchiha clan like this. I am now going to annihilate the Uchiha clan, who dared to tarnish the honor of the Uchiha. Do you have any objections?"
As Uchiha Jin spoke, the police officers behind him suddenly stepped forward, roaring with madness and killing intent in their eyes.
"kill!"
The killing intent emanating from hundreds of elite Uchiha warriors caused the air to suddenly turn several degrees colder, and everyone present felt a chill that seeped into their bones.
"this……"
Feeling the gazes of the heads of many Konoha ninja clans, including the Uchiha clan, Nara Shikaku's forehead was visibly dripping with cold sweat.
Anyone could see that Uchiha Jin was talking nonsense, but once the matter involved the honor of the Uchiha clan, it took on a completely different meaning for the Uchiha, who were already proud of it.
Nara Shikaku could fully anticipate that once he spoke up for Koharu Utatane, he would inevitably face the Uchiha's sharp and murderous intent.
What followed was inevitably the full-scale outbreak of the Konoha civil war, and the subsequent ferocity of the various ninja villages after this brutal battle...
Therefore, even Nara Shikaku, who was known for his strategy and judgment, lost his usual composure under such immense pressure and stammered, unable to utter a word.
"That's good!"
A cruel smile crept across Uchiha Jin's lips, and then he turned his murderous gaze back to Koharu Utatane, whose body was trembling slightly.
"You...you mustn't do anything reckless..."
"I've put up with you for too long!"
Uchiha Jin cracked his knuckles, then nonchalantly tried to take a step forward.
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing that Uchiha Jin was brimming with murderous intent and didn't seem to be faking it at all, Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"The assistant director only felt that the election was too rushed and did not intend to target the Uchiha clan. But now it seems that we were overthinking it."
snort~
Uchiha Jin gave a cold sneer.
With Hiruzen Sarutobi smoothing things over, the nature of the subsequent forced attack was completely different. Therefore, Uchiha Jin turned his head and met Hiruzen Sarutobi's murderous gaze, which was blocking his way.
My real target is you and the Sarutobi clan, so watch your mouth when you say the next thing!
"As the head of the police department, and having led the Uchiha clan in the Third Shinobi World War against the invasion of the Kirigakure ninja, Fugaku Uchiha is naturally qualified to participate in the election for the Fifth Hokage of Konoha."
Under Uchiha Jin's undisguised gaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a slight chill in his heart, but on the surface, he showed no change and calmly continued to speak.
"But Jiraiya also made outstanding contributions in the Third Shinobi World War. We cannot deny his past achievements because of a small matter, so I think..."
"What do you mean by 'small matter'!"
"It's not that you gain everyone's approval by becoming Hokage, but rather that you become Hokage by gaining everyone's approval!"
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could continue to explain, Uchiha Jin abruptly interrupted him, then turned to the Konoha villagers who were still watching and spoke.
"Now you're telling a lecherous thief who peeps at an old woman taking a bath that he can gain everyone's approval? Touch your own ass and ask yourself honestly, don't you feel ashamed saying something like that?"
At this point, Uchiha Jin feigned sudden realization, as if he had just remembered something, and quickly added more.
"I remember you, the former acting Hokage, researched a 'Telescope Technique,' right? I heard that thing can't see through the barriers and restrictions of the major ninja clans. You wouldn't be using it to spy on us, would you, you old pervert?"
"As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. With such low moral character as the teacher, it's understandable that the disciple would behave this way. But don't tarnish the reputation of Konoha with your despicable thoughts!"
"It's precisely because of your despicable behavior that my Uchiha clan has defied all opposition and dismissed you, this piece of trash, as acting Hokage!"
When Uchiha Jin mentioned the "Telescope Technique," Jiraiya's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly at the mention of this ninjutsu that he would regret for the rest of his life. However, upon hearing the other party publicly criticize his teacher in this way, the anger in his heart rose once again.
"Jiraiya, calm down!"
Shima the Sage reached out and gave Jiraiya a hard knock, while together with Fukasaku the Sage, they helped Jiraiya exit Sage Mode.
At this moment, the two sages of Mount Myōboku realized that this was just a power struggle common in the ninja world. Although they did not intend to interfere with Jiraiya's choice, they did not want Jiraiya to get involved in this boring vortex.
Uchiha Jin glanced at the two toads of Mount Myōboku, a strange glint in his eyes, before looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi again.
"If you can persuade those elderly women who were spied on to forgive Jiraiya, my police department guarantees that we will handle the matter impartially!"
hiss……
Having become somewhat accustomed to humiliation, Hiruzen Sarutobi was now somewhat immune, but upon hearing those words, a "#" still involuntarily appeared on his brow.
I thought to myself, "You're not only planning to settle personal scores, but you even dare to say it so openly in public!"
However, just as Uchiha Jin's words implied a plea for forgiveness, Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the group of villagers in bathrobes not far away, who dared not speak out against their anger.
Hard to do!
The public's anger was difficult to quell.
Even though Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that he had accumulated great prestige in Konoha over the years, he couldn't appear to be forcing the villagers at this moment.
or……
Should I sacrifice my looks?
