Yes.
Don't look at her usual carefree demeanor; when it came to the crucial moment, she was still able to calm down.
She knew very well.
Even if she was unwilling in her heart, she had to remain calm now.
Forcing her way forward was useless!
The power of the village's higher-ups was too great!
Didn't Uchiha Jin, despite having the Uchiha backing him and even awakening the Mangekyo, only dare to say his goal was self-preservation?
And what about her side?
Compared to Uchiha Jin, it was far worse.
Firstly.
Her husband, Namikaze Minato, came from a commoner background and had no Ninja Clan support behind him.
How could truly changing all of this be as simple as imagined?
Therefore, they could only plan slowly!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Namikaze Minato couldn't help but sigh bitterly when he heard his wife's words.
"Hmm, you're right!"
"I must change this distorted village; the will of fire has been desecrated by Sarutobi Hiruzen."
"But now, I finally understand."
"Why Uchiha Jin, even though he knew I would be the Fourth Hokage, still had no intention of relying on me."
"He saw things clearer than I did!"
"Even if I truly ascended, I would just be a puppet. How could I talk about helping the Uchiha?"
"But, it doesn't matter!"
"Since I already know the true situation, then I will definitely work hard."
"I am determined to become this Hokage!"
Namikaze Minato's eyes were firm.
Yes.
He was never one to give up easily. Now that he knew the true situation of the village.
Then, he couldn't just ignore it!
Even if this path was fraught with difficulties, even if it meant sacrificing his life, he would change this distorted village... The next day, early in the morning.
At the village gate.
Namikaze Minato had arrived here early, and he even felt an urgent desire to meet Uchiha Jin as soon as possible.
Yes.
After a night of contemplation, he felt that although he truly looked down on things like power struggles.
But to achieve his goals, he really had to learn such things.
And in this regard, the best teacher was Uchiha Jin!
There was no other way!
Although he had a better relationship with Nara Shikaku, after learning that the Ino-Shika-Cho trio were also involved in embezzling village assets, there were many things he didn't dare to say to Nara Shikaku.
Their relationship was just a personal friendship.
But what he had to do was cut off the Nara Clan's source of income.
Cutting off someone's wealth was like killing their parents.
Although there wasn't such a saying in the Shinobi World, Namikaze Minato understood this principle.
About half an hour later.
Uchiha Jin, yawning, slowly walked over with Shino Ryoma.
"Yo, Big Brother Minato!"
"You're here so early, isn't it just eight o'clock?"
Uchiha Jin said with a smile.
Namikaze Minato, however, couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
"I came at six!" Namikaze Minato couldn't help but say, "Your speed is too slow, isn't it?"
"I even thought of going to the Uchiha Clan Grounds to call you myself."
Hearing these words, Uchiha Jin was stunned.
Good heavens!
Was it really necessary to be so anxious?
He was completely bewildered.
But before he could think of an excuse, he saw Namikaze Minato shake his head directly.
"Alright, don't think of excuses."
"I don't really care about that, but what's with Ryoma?"
"Are you taking him to the front lines with you?"
Uchiha Jin nodded.
After a helpless sigh, he said, "There's nothing I can do. Ryoma is the root of the Aburame Clan."
"Clan Leader Shibi is afraid that once I leave, the Uchiha and Aburame Clans won't be able to withstand the village's reckoning."
"So he asked me to bring Shino Ryoma. Even if both clans are truly destroyed in the end, at least a hope for resurgence will remain."
Namikaze Minato's face darkened.
If he had heard these words yesterday, he would definitely have thought Uchiha Jin was a bit overly cautious.
But now, it was different.
Through the information he learned from the Nine-Tails last night, he finally understood how ruthless and merciless the seemingly kind Sarutobi Hiruzen's methods were behind the scenes.
Hatake Sakumo, the dignified Hokage's Right Hand, Anbu Captain, Jonin Squad Leader, and Head of the Interrogation and Torture Department, who was practically half a Hokage in the village, was so easily driven to suicide by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Now, getting rid of an Uchiha and an Aburame, what did that even count as?
However.
He knew that currently in the village, and he was even more aware that Sarutobi Hiruzen possessed things like the Telescope Jutsu, so he naturally wouldn't say much here.
Therefore, he shook his head slightly.
After taking a deep breath, he said with a smile.
"Alright, Ku!"
"Since you've chosen to bring Shino Ryoma, I imagine even if Lord Hokage knows, he certainly won't say much."
"So, let's leave it at that."
"Are you two ready?"
"If you're ready, then we should depart!"
Chapter 144: Uchiha Jin: Big Brother Minato, Welcome to the Team!
Uchiha Jin was slightly taken aback.
He felt that something was wrong.
Namikaze Minato's reaction seemed a bit out of character!
However.
Before he could react, he saw Namikaze Minato directly place his hands on his and Shino Ryoma's shoulders.
Immediately after, the stars shifted.
When he regained his senses, he found that the surrounding scenery had already changed into an unfamiliar forest.
Indeed.
As expected of the Flying Thunder God Technique, it was truly amazing!
