Inoichi Yamanaka's tone was certain.
He clearly didn't have high hopes for the Abura Clan.
As he said, the Abura is only a mid-tier Ninja Clans, and their population size is even smaller than any single family within Ino–Shika–Chō.
Even combined, Ino–Shika–Chō can only barely protect themselves.
What about the Abura Clan?
Due to the characteristics of their clan, they have almost no friendly Ninja Clans, nor do they have friends who would advance and retreat alongside them.
This mid-tier Ninja Clans, however, possesses very comprehensive abilities.
Faced with Danzo's coercion, what can the Abura Clan do?
It seems... apart from wholeheartedly defecting to the Uchiha, there is no other option. They have too little room to maneuver when facing a crisis.
"Inoichi, Choza."
"I wonder if you've noticed? The fact that Danzo is still alive feels extrely perplexing!"
"Let's not forget one thing: Uchiha Jin has a feud with Danzo."
"Danzo captured his parents, yet despite this intense hatred, Danzo has failed to truly die ti and ti again. Does Uchiha Jin really lack the ability?"
"Think about the Forest of Death that night a few days ago—that black giant, fully thirty ters tall."
"Anyway, I don't believe it!"
Shikaku's eyes flickered.
His brain began to spin rapidly, and then he voiced his doubts.
And, regarding this.
Inoichi Yamanaka and Akimichi Choza instantly darkened upon hearing this.
They weren't fools!
Since Shikaku had already spelled it out, if they still couldn't understand, then they deserved nothing more than to sit at the sa table as the Uchiha.
"Shikaku, are you suggesting..." Akimichi Choza looked completely stunned.
However.
Before Shikaku could speak, Inoichi Yamanaka coldly stated, "Uchiha Jin must have deliberately spared Danzo, intending for Danzo to disgust us Ninja Clanss, thereby forcing us to defect to them as soon as possible!"
Akimichi Choza sighed.
Even if they knew this, what could they say?
After all, Danzo was the one doing the dirty work; they couldn't possibly bla Uchiha Jin!
And, regarding this.
Shikaku pondered silently, shaking his head after a long while.
"Forget it, it doesn't concern us!"
"But this point is enough to show that Uchiha Jin is a man capable of great forbearance."
"Konoha is about to descend into chaos!"
Inoichi Yamanaka and Akimichi Choza could only sigh in response.
Yes!
Although they were Ninja Clans heads, they had no right to be players on the Village's chessboard.
Even if they tried their hardest, they might not be able to protect their families!
...anwhile, on the other side.
In the Uchiha Clan Compound, within Jin's large courtyard.
The front courtyard, reception hall.
After Uchiha Yue skillfully prepared the tea, she bowed slightly and left the room.
Uchiha Jin picked up the teacup, then couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Clan Head Zhiwei, it is a pleasure to et you."
"I actually anticipated that a Ninja Clans would co to defect to the Uchiha, but I didn't expect the first clan to defect entirely would be the Abura Clan."
"Is it convenient to tell ?"
"How many people did Danzo demand from your Abura Clan?"
Uchiha Jin was full of curiosity.
Yes!
He was genuinely surprised!
Currently, the Uchiha have scattered many spies throughout the Village, so Uchiha Jin was naturally aware that Danzo had begun visiting the major Ninja Clanss today.
Therefore.
He had naturally prepared for this, and had been constantly guessing in his heart which Ninja Clans would be the first to defect.
But the problem was.
He truly hadn't expected the first ones to arrive would be the Abura Clan!
One must know.
Compared to Ino–Shika–Chō or the Hyuga, the Abura Clan might be considered a smaller Ninja Clans, but looking at Konoha as a whole, the Abura Clan's scale is actually quite significant.
Therefore, in Uchiha Jin's opinion, even if the Abura Clan ca to defect, they should have at least taken a few days to think it over, right?
But now?
Danzo had only just left the Abura Clan when Abura Shimi ca directly to defect to him.
This truly made him feel a little startled for a mont.
After all, in Uchiha Jin's view, the first Ninja Clanss to defect should have been smaller ones like the Mitarashi, Kato Clan, and Kurama Clans.
Therefore.
He imdiately asked the question, not even bothering to deny that he had anticipated this beforehand.
Furthermore... if a clever person heard these words, they would know that Danzo remaining alive was Uchiha Jin's doing!
anwhile, on the other side.
Abura Shimi, dressed in black robes and wearing sunglasses, couldn't help but let out a deep sigh after hearing Uchiha Jin's words.
He drained the tea in his hand, placed the cup steadily on the table, and then spoke in a very heavy tone.
"All of them!"
Uchiha Jin was sowhat bewildered.
That's it?!
Although he knew the Abura Clan wasn't known for eloquence, you are still the Abura Clan Head; isn't this a bit too poor for conversation?
But, wait.
What does that an?
Uchiha Jin pondered for a mont before tentatively asking, "Clan Head Zhiwei, I don't quite understand your aning."
Imdiately after.
Considering Abura Shimi's personality, conversing like this seed too dreary.
Therefore.
He imdiately called Uchiha Yue, instructing her to prepare a few dishes and even bring several jars of wine.
Following this.
Uchiha Jin imdiately raised his cup and began pouring drinks for Abura Shimi.
And, regarding this.
Although Abura Shimi didn't particularly like alcohol, considering he was here to defect today, he reluctantly began to drink.
After three cups of wine, Abura Shimi loosened up a bit.
"Yes, all of them!" Abura Shimi's expression was slightly cold: "Danzo is too greedy."
"Before, he only wanted one or two Abura geniuses. At that ti, I hardened my heart and gritted my teeth and gave them up. After all, the Abura Clan lacks sufficient foundation, so when it was necessary to bow, we had to bow."
"After all, too many Ninja Clanss have been wiped out since Konoha was founded."
"The Fūma Clan, which was similar in size to the Abura before, and even the founding Senju Clan are all gone. The Abura Clan realized this, so naturally, we had to humble ourselves for the sake of our clan."
"The Village has changed!"
"Ever since Hiruzen Sarutobi took the position of Third Hokage, the Village has long ceased to be what First Hokage-sama promised when it was first established."
"But..."
"Danzo is still going too far!"
"This ti, he actually demanded that I, the Clan Head, lead the entire Abura Clan to rge completely into Root."
"Is there any difference between this and clan annihilation?"
When he reached this point, Abura Shimi was extrely furious.
Especially combined with the alcohol he had consud, his Chakra control beca sowhat erratic, causing insects to begin flying around various parts of his body.
anwhile, on the other side.
Uchiha Jin didn't pay attention to the trivial matter of the insects, but was shocked by the audacity of that idiot, Danzo.
Holy crap!
Is he insane?
He previously thought that no matter how crazy Danzo was, he would at most demand half of the clan mbers.
But now?
You bastard, you're practically inhuman, demanding the entire Abura Clan rge completely into your Root organization?
Damn it.
He must be out of his mind!
