Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

Therefore, this matter today could only have been done by the enemy.

Yunyin: "..."

Fortunately, they were unaware of Konoha's shady tactics, otherwise they would definitely have been cursing.

Good guy!

Your Konoha is in turmoil, and you expect us to take the blame?

Just because I caused trouble in Konoha once, does that mean I have to take the blame for Konoha for life?

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, Shisui immediately went to find someone to rebuild the Anbu.

As for the mountain dweller, Haiyi.

He went directly to the Jonin class leader's office, and after seeing the relaxed-looking Nara Shikaku, he briefly explained what had happened that day.

Nara Shikaku frowned slightly.

but.

After a moment's thought, he let out a soft chuckle.

"So, that's how it is!"

"If I'm not mistaken, Shisui must have received orders from Uchiha Jin, which is why this happened this morning."

"The struggle between the shadows and the roots is to provide cover for the great migration of the pig-deer-butterfly."

"But, as expected of the Uchiha!"

"There are so many other options, why make the situation so complicated?"

"But this Lord Jin is really quite clever."

"A simple large-scale relocation allowed him to find an opportunity to weaken the Hokage's authority once again, and also caused the relationship between the Hokage and the elders to become tense again."

"These methods are truly impressive!"

Nara Shikaku was filled with emotion.

Because they had enough information, it didn't take long for them to figure out Uchiha Jin's thoughts.

Yes.

What should have been a very simple matter was managed to achieve three different objectives.

Killing three birds with one stone, brilliant!

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Inoichi suddenly realized what was going on.

If Nara Shikaku hadn't explained, he really wouldn't have thought of all that.

Having figured this out, he couldn't help but speak softly.

"That's a good thing!"

"The stronger Uchiha Jin becomes, the more it proves that our choice was correct."

"But, Shikaku!"

"Just now on the rooftop, I had a vague feeling that the Hokage had begun to have some suspicions about our Ino-Shika-Cho trio."

"How to do?"

Haiyi in the mountains, his brows slightly furrowed.

Yes.

Compared to those clansmen who went to the Uchiha clan, those who stayed behind were in greater danger.

Having been Hokage for so long, how could Hiruzen Sarutobi be completely unaware of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio's little schemes?

This is also what he is most worried about!

However, on the other side of 827.

Nara Shikaku, however, looked completely relaxed.

He smiled before slowly speaking.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter."

"I thought of this a long time ago, and there is no solution."

"But, it doesn't matter!"

"As long as we sincerely plan for the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi won't say anything."

"You need to truly realize that Hiruzen Sarutobi is now actually all alone."

"Within his inner circle, Danzo and Utatane have become complete enemies, and Utatane and Mitomon are practically the same."

"As for Tsunade, do you really think she's completely unaware of the deaths of Senju Nawaki and Kato Dan, and the sudden collapse of the Senju clan?"

"It's just that Tsunade chose to withdraw for the sake of Konoha."

"As for Jiraiya, he's restrained by Minato Namikaze."

"Orochimaru goes without saying. Once Minato Namikaze takes over, his relationship with Hiruzen Sarutobi will be completely severed!"

"So what if the Ino-Shika-Cho trio has problems these days?"

"If Hiruzen Sarutobi wants to get things done, then he has no choice but to play dumb!"

"Otherwise, if we completely force our three clans to the Uchiha side, who will Hiruzen Sarutobi be able to rely on in the future?"

"As for trust, that's even more ridiculous!"

"Even without today's incident, we wouldn't be part of the Naruto inner circle."

"No matter who becomes Hokage, we, Ino-Shika-Cho, will never be the core."

"This is the very foundation upon which our Ino-Shika-Cho clan stands, so there's nothing to regret."

"This is perfect!"

"...".

Chapter 253 Hiruzen Sarutobi's Scheme, Shikaku Nara's Response!

At the beginning of the journey, Haiyi in the mountains suddenly realized the truth.

It seems that's really the case; it turns out I was worrying for nothing.

But, that's true.

Since there's a smart person like Nara in the family, why should he bother with such things?

Thinking of this, I let out a sigh.

immediately.

He then spoke softly.

"That's good!"

"However, I guess that once the Hokage calms down, he will definitely ask you for a solution."

"After all, what happened today has really blown up a lot!"

"The Hokage's reputation is too bad, he definitely won't accept this."

Nara Shikaku nodded.

He had expected this.

That's exactly what happened.

Before the two could finish their conversation, someone came looking for them.

"Jonin Shikaku, summoned by the Hokage."

"okay, I get it!"

The visitor was a member of the secret service.

After receiving Nara Shikaku's nod, he naturally bowed and left.

"Inoichi, I have to go." Nara Shikaku said seriously, "Remember not to make any other moves, and do your best to plan for the Hokage."

"If we really encounter members of the Uchiha clan, we must do everything we can to target them."

"Trust the Uchiha."

"I believe they will take good care of our people!"

Yes.

For the Ino-Shika-Cho trio now, if they still want to stand on Hiruzen Sarutobi's side...
