The Uchiha Clan's Sun

It is foreseeable that the power of the members of the Legislative Council will be very great in the near future. By leaving such a position for the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Jin can be seen as leaving the Uchiha clan a way out!

"Not too much!"

Minato Namikaze pondered for a moment but did not raise any objections.

After all, the special status of the Uchiha and Senju clans is undeniable, and no one would say much about them having some special privileges.

Moreover, compared to the total of ninety-two votes in the entire Law Determination Assembly, the single vote held by the Uchiha and Senju clans would not affect the fairness of the assembly.

So Minato Namikaze didn't say much.

only......

Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment before speaking, "The Uchiha clan is alright, but it seems that the Senju clan only has Lady Tsunade left now, right?"

"And since Lady Tsunade has left the village, will she agree to become a permanent member of the Constitutional Law Council?"

Uchiha Jin shook his head and said calmly, "Whether we give it to her or not is a matter of our attitude; whether she wants it or not is her business!"

"Anyway, we've already reserved this position for her, so whether she comes to the meeting or not won't affect the overall situation."

Jin Uchiha's original intention was simply to leave the Uchiha clan a way out. The reason he specifically brought in the Senju clan was just to make this reason seem more legitimate and orthodox.

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether Tsunade accepts the position or not.

Minato Namikaze chuckled and shook his head. He had also seen through Uchiha Jin's 'selfish intentions', but he didn't dislike them. It was the existence of these intentions that made Uchiha Jin seem more like a living, breathing person!

After all, who would believe that someone who doesn't even care about his own family and clan could care about his companions and village?

Without personal love, how can there be great love?

After a pause, Uchiha Jin's expression turned serious as he continued, "Minato, when you go back to see the Third Hokage, you can say that I have the idea of ​​delegating power, or even that I plan to reform the Konoha Police Department's power into the Three Departments. But you absolutely cannot reveal anything about the Dharma Assembly! Not even a single word!"

Minato Namikaze was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why? Wouldn't it be more convincing to explain the matter of the Dharma Assembly?"

Uchiha Jin shook his head and explained, "No, people are different! The reason I was able to come up with the system of the Dharma Assembly is not only because I wanted the future development of the village, but more importantly, because I was not controlled by power and became a puppet of power!"

"But that old guy Hiruzen Sarutobi is different!"

"It is undeniable that Hiruzen Sarutobi had feelings for the village, and as Hokage, he also worked hard to make the village better!"

"Throughout his years as Hokage, he has consistently strived to consolidate his power!"

"At first, Hiruzen Sarutobi may have done this simply to better develop the village, but perhaps he himself didn't realize that today, his actions have fundamentally changed!"

"His mind has been controlled by the power in his hands. His thinking may have become backwards. He is developing the village in order to better consolidate his power!"

"The existence of the Law Establishment Association is undoubtedly a limitation on the power held by the Hokage. Hiruzen Sarutobi is not you; he would not allow his power to be restricted!"

"Therefore, it's best to wait until you take over before implementing the Law-Setting Council! You just need to tell Hiruzen Sarutobi that I will invite many people in the village to revise the village's existing laws. How much influence you gain depends on how much Hiruzen Sarutobi is willing to pay!"

Chapter 156 Showing Off Muscles!

Minato Namikaze nodded. Although he felt that Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't as extreme as King Uchiha had described, all the previous signs indicated that Hiruzen Sarutobi did indeed have a strong desire to control the power in his hands.

Therefore, just in case, Minato Namikaze also planned to keep the matter of the Dharma Assembly to himself for the time being.

Next, Uchiha Jin and Namikaze Minato took advantage of this rare opportunity to discuss some other matters, check their plans, and talked until dusk.

Looking at the darkening sky, Uchiha Jin said, "Let's call it a day. If we go on for too long, it will arouse suspicion!"

Minato Namikaze smiled upon hearing this and said, "Don't rush, I actually have another purpose for coming here today."

"Another objective?" Uchiha Jin was taken aback and asked, "What is it?"

Minato Namikaze explained, "Besides garnering votes from the Uchiha clan and discussing revising the village's existing laws, the Third Hokage also wants me to test your current strength!"

Uchiha Jin frowned slightly upon hearing this, but quickly relaxed.

Uchiha Jin chuckled, "Hiruzen Sarutobi is preparing for the worst!"

The appearance of Uchiha Jin and the changes in the Uchiha clan forced Hiruzen Sarutobi to make some compromises, while also creating a strong sense of crisis!

In particular, Uchiha Jin's methods made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel powerless on many occasions!

What is the worst-case scenario?

Of course, when there's no other way out, we should use force to solve everything!

Just as war is a continuation of politics, when peaceful methods cannot solve problems, force becomes the only option!

Previously, it was the Uchiha clan that was forced to have such thoughts, but now Hiruzen Sarutobi is also starting to prepare for such a thing!

The balance of power has quietly shifted!

Hiruzen Sarutobi was much smarter than the Uchiha clan of the past!

Despite the Uchiha clan's constant clamor for a coup and a power grab, they have never actually taken any action to achieve it!

The Uchiha clan did nothing like enemy intelligence gathering, tactical planning, or logistical support; it seemed like all they had to do in a coup was shout and rush over to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi only began preparing for this after feeling a sense of crisis, thinking of first figuring out the exact strength of King Uchiha.

That's the difference between having a brain and not having a brain!

Minato Namikaze said, "Although I could make something up to appease the Third Hokage, I should at least put on a show!"

"No!" Uchiha Jin shook his head upon hearing this, saying, "I have already come into the sights of all the forces in the village, and this is the perfect opportunity to intimidate them!"

"After witnessing my abilities firsthand, our future plans will face far fewer obstacles!"

Previously, Uchiha Jin had used the power of the masses to force Sarutobi Hiruzen to compromise and back down, but even such compromise and back down had its limits!

What Uchiha Jin needs to do now is to lower Hiruzen Sarutobi's bottom line even further, and before he tries to overturn the table, he should first carefully assess whether he has the strength to do so!

Of course, there should be a limit to this kind of flexing of muscles; otherwise, it can be counterproductive!

Minato Namikaze smiled upon hearing this and said, "It just so happens that we haven't sparred in a long time. Do you plan to hold it in the Uchiha clan's training grounds or in the village's communal training grounds?"

Uchiha Jin stood up and said, "Since we're going to show off our muscles, we should do it where everyone can see us! Let's go to the village's communal training ground!"

As he spoke, Uchiha Jin reached out his hand directly to Namikaze Minato.

Minato Namikaze also stood up, grabbed King Uchiha's hand, and then activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

With a 'whoosh,' Uchiha Jin and Namikaze Minato disappeared from the office and appeared in Konoha's Training Ground No. 7 in the next instant.

As dusk approached, Konoha's Training Ground No. 7 was deserted, and the appearance of Uchiha Jin and Namikaze Minato went unnoticed by anyone.

After landing, Minato Namikaze quickly distanced himself from King Uchiha, solemnly raising his sword fingers to form a hand seal of opposition.

Although it was just a formality, Uchiha Jin respected Namikaze Minato's insistence and raised his sword finger, forming a hand seal of opposition!

"Then, let the sparring begin!"

Both Uchiha Jin and Namikaze Minato were Kage-level powerhouses, so they didn't bother with any of the usual empty formalities.

After giving a warning, Minato Namikaze vanished from his spot!

Minato Namikaze's ability to be called the fastest ninja in the world is not solely due to his Flying Thunder God Technique!

In his normal state, Minato Namikaze was extremely fast. Only a speed-type ninja like the Raikage of Kumogakure could outrun him in terms of speed!

Uchiha Jin dared not be careless and immediately activated his three-tomoe Sharingan. After spotting Minato Namikaze's figure, he bent his arm and stepped onto the stage, blocking Minato's incoming kick!

With a soft 'thud', Uchiha Jin's body trembled. As he neutralized the force of Minato Namikaze's kick, he reached out and grabbed at Minato's ankle!

Minato Namikaze was in the air at that moment, and his old strength had been exhausted while his new strength had not yet been generated. If it were an ordinary ninja, he would definitely not be able to dodge Uchiha Jin's grab!

However, Minato Namikaze's reflexes were even faster than his speed. He twisted his body and delivered a cross-court kick to Uchiha Jin's head while simultaneously retracting his leg to dodge Uchiha Jin's large hand!

Uchiha Jin leaned back to dodge Minato Namikaze's kick, then quickly turned around and attacked Minato!

Minato Namikaze was not afraid at all, and after landing, he engaged in battle with King Uchiha!

The two figures moved faster and faster, their hands and feet almost turning into afterimages as they continuously clashed!

Minato Namikaze truly lived up to his reputation as a genius among geniuses. With his outstanding reflexes, he neutralized the dynamic vision advantage of King Uchiha's three-tomoe Sharingan and fought King Uchiha to a standstill!

A minute later, Uchiha Jin and Namikaze Minato's fists collided, and then both of them used the force to step back and create distance between them!

"Warm-up complete, Minato. You'd better watch out now, and you'd better go all out!"

Uchiha Jin drew the Zankatana from his waist, and his powerful chakra erupted without reservation, creating a hurricane around him!

"Hehe, Jin, your growth over the years has exceeded expectations, but I haven't stood still either!"

Minato Namikaze's pupils contracted as he sensed King Uchiha's aura, but then he smiled broadly, becoming somewhat excited!

Although Minato Namikaze has been active on the front lines for years, the enemies he has encountered are basically no match for him!

Uchiha Jin is the strongest person he has encountered in all these years!

Chapter 157 Ashes of Heaven and Earth!

Uchiha Jin did not deliberately hide his aura. As his chakra erupted, many people in the village noticed the abnormality and looked up in the direction of Konoha's seventh training ground.

In particular, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had anticipated this and was waiting for it, immediately took out the crystal ball he usually used to gather materials at the bathhouse and used his telescope technique to project the scene of Konoha's seventh training ground into the crystal ball.

Sensing the watchful gaze upon him, Uchiha Jin waited no longer and swung his sword at Namikaze Minato from a distance, saying, "Here we go, Matsushita!"

Blazing flames shot out from the blade of the Zankatana, forming a massive tornado of fire that swirled and enveloped Minato Namikaze!

The fiery tornado grew rapidly in the wind, engulfing Minato Namikaze's figure in an instant and sweeping across most of the training ground, with a strong, acrid smell spreading with the wind!

The power of that single strike is terrifying!

However, Uchiha Jin did not let his guard down at all. There are indeed not many people in this world who can block his attack, but Namikaze Minato is no ordinary person and is not among them!

Just then, a whooshing sound rang out as a specially made kunai pierced through the sea of ​​fire and shot straight at Uchiha Jin's face!

Uchiha Jin slightly tilted his head to dodge the special kunai, but just as the kunai grazed Uchiha Jin's cheek, Namikaze Minato's figure appeared out of thin air, grabbed the kunai, and slashed it towards Uchiha Jin's neck.

The art of flying thunder god!

"So fast!"

Uchiha Jin sighed with a smile, and the next moment his head flew high into the air!

However, no blood spurted from Uchiha Jin's severed neck, and his headless body moved on its own, raising its hand and swinging its sword at Namikaze Minato in mid-air!

Minato Namikaze's expression remained unchanged upon seeing this, and he vanished from the spot in a flash.

Minato Namikaze and King Uchiha had sparred many times before and had a very deep understanding of each other's abilities!

Uchiha Jin was constantly on guard against Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique, so he was not caught off guard by Namikaze Minato's mobility. Namikaze Minato was also aware of Uchiha Jin's ability to transform into elements, so he was not going to let his guard down!

Before Uchiha Jin's body could reassemble, another "whoosh" sound rang out, and a specially made kunai shot out from behind Uchiha Jin!

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

With a soft shout from Minato Namikaze, the specially made kunai that were shooting out multiplied from one to two, from two to four, from four to eight, and in the blink of an eye, they became dozens or even hundreds of them, engulfing Uchiha Jin's figure like a rain of arrows!

"Mirror Fire Flame!"

With a wave of his arm, Uchiha Jin unleashed a massive wall of flames that blocked all the specially made kunai flying towards him.

Uchiha Jin's expression turned solemn as flames erupted around him, and he entered Fire Release Chakra Mode. The surrounding flames began to shrink and disappear into the Remnant Fire Katana.

Minato Namikaze's mobility is so strong that ordinary attacks are just a waste of energy and can't hit anyone!

The only way to defeat Minato Namikaze is to seize the opening he makes during his attack and deliver a fatal blow!

After the surrounding flames were completely absorbed into the Zankatana, the Zankatana revealed its charred blade. The surrounding temperature rose rapidly, the surrounding vegetation turned yellow and withered, and the moisture in the air was quickly lost!

"This feeling... I knew it! The person from that day was Uchiha Jin!"

As Hiruzen Sarutobi sensed the changes around him, he thought of the training ground that had been destroyed on the edge of the village not long ago.

At the time, Hiruzen Sarutobi guessed that it might have been done by King Uchiha, but he was hampered by a lack of evidence. Now it has finally been confirmed that it was King Uchiha's doing!

"Young people these days are really something else!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was solemn, his eyes fixed on the image in the crystal ball, not daring to be distracted for even a moment.

"Broken Blade - Eastern Rising Sun Blade!"

Uchiha Jin's expression turned cold as he turned to look at Namikaze Minato, who was dozens of meters away. He gently swayed the Zankatana in his hand, and a mist rose in the air, as if even space itself was distorted by the high temperature!

Minato Namikaze gave a wry smile. Uchiha Jin's demeanor was truly terrifying, and he was even somewhat afraid to approach him!

"Since you're not going to attack, then I won't be polite!"

Uchiha Jin opened his mouth, but before he could finish speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot!
