RoU Chapter 23: Bombing the Shimura clan!
🕑 Added 2023-10-04 03:36:22 +0000 UTCPreviously, the Uchihas may have resisted using any method other than a direct approach to deal with their problems due to their pride, perhaps this type of mentality is one of the main reasons that led them to be in a situation of isolation and rejection within Konoha.
Who knows...?
What Natsuo is clear about is that he still does not have enough strength to wipe out everything, and he cannot have a direct confrontation with Konoha's senior management.
But that can't stop me from charging them a little interest.
Then, under Natsuo's deliberate guidance, countless people in Konoha Village suddenly began to miss the Uchiha clan.
This is quite normal.
Human beings are strange: They fight with the living and bring flowers for the dead. He turns away from the living and looks desperate when they die. He goes years without talking to a living person and apologizes and pays tributes when he dies. He criticizes, speaks badly, offends the living, but sanctifies him when he dies.
When the Uchiha clan was alive, many Konoha shinobi resented them for their strict enforcement of the law.
But after their deaths, everyone forgot about their harshness.
And in the face of the current situation where Konoha Village's security forces are unable to protect the safety of the people, they immediately remembered the benefits of the Uchiha.
Although the Uchiha clan was arrogant, they never shirked their responsibilities!
After being arranged by the Second Hokage to become the security force, Konoha's public order immediately stabilized.
All kinds of criminals were captured and imprisoned without mercy.
They also patrolled diligently and sacrificed their lives to protect the safety of the people on critical occasions. The Uchiha clan has done this countless times.
Even during the Great Ninja War, Konoha Village's public order never had any problems. On the contrary, it was so peaceful that it didn't seem like they were at war with enemy countries.
A situation like the current one where an attack by "enemies" affected a large area of the city, something like this has never happened before!
The victims immediately remembered the good Uchiha.
"Although the Uchiha clan is arrogant, they are very reliable."
"Yes, I have never heard of the Uchiha clan retreating in the face of the enemy."
"Compared to before, the public order now is much worse".
"Yes, it would be so much better if the Uchiha were still here".
"It's a pity that such a reliable Uchiha clan was wiped out".
Everyone began to reminisce, and then collectively criticized the current Konoha security forces.
For a while, the entire Konoha Village united in their anger.
If a major war were to break out now, would Konoha Village be bombed into the sky? Compared to the Uchiha, all of you are far inferior! Can you protect us?
These public opinions made the Third Hokage extremely worried. He had to severely punish the captain of the security force and also punish Danzo.
Then he increased his efforts to appease the villagers, and the compensation for the victims was paid by Konoha. He even gave additional compensation.
In front of many villagers, he boasted about the Uchiha, saying that the current security force was far inferior to the one managed by the Uchiha. The Uchiha were loyal and dedicated, and it was such a waste for the clan to be destroyed by a rogue ninja like Itachi.
Anyway, the Uchiha are almost all dead now, so no matter how much honor the dead have, it doesn't matter.
The Third Hokage even promoted Natsuo to Jōnin, bypassing the usual procedures.
Although the entire Konoha knew that Natsuo was only a nominal Jōnin and was actually a Chūnin who was being chased by a Jōnin who tried to assassinate him, this move was to restore the reputation of the Uchiha clan!
The reason why Natsuo had so many wives was partly due to the Uchiha's wealth and partly due to the Uchiha clan's reputation.
Some talented female ninjas hesitated because of the previous negative reputation of the Uchiha clan.
"I have put a lot of effort into the Uchiha!" Natsuo sighed.
"But I don't plan to endure this quietly, Danzo!"
That's right. Although there was no direct evidence, Natsuo had already guessed that Danzo was behind this.
Would the Uchiha clan swallow their pride? Don't be ridiculous.
"Elder Danzo, the Uchiha we have now is no longer the security force that operates according to the system."
"The Uchiha who are not part of the security force don't need evidence to take action."
.....
Shimura Clan headquarters.
As a prominent clan in Konoha, the Shimura clan is not much inferior to the Sarutobi clan, who can directly produce a ninja force from their own family.
The Uchiha clan back then was known as the largest clan in Konoha!
All of this naturally couldn't have happened without someone's contribution.
Danzo slowly walked into the room, his movements somewhat sluggish, like an ordinary old man.
There were also some members of the Shimura clan inside the house, but when they saw the seemingly ordinary man enter, they all stopped chatting and lowered their heads in greeting.
Although they enjoyed the benefits brought by this man, when faced with this old man, even if they were from the same clan, they were filled with fear.
"Danzo-sama, you've worked hard." A middle-aged ninja swallowed his saliva and took Danzo's clothes.
"Mm." Danzo nodded expressionlessly.
"Report today's information."
Many members of the Shimura clan have joined Root.
Of course, they naturally received special treatment and did not need to be subjected to the Tongue Curse Seal.
"Uchiha Natsuo personally took his wives to visit the victims who were injured in the previous attack. In his words, there was a hint of: if Uchiha were still here, such things would never be allowed to happen".
"Because of that Uchiha brat, many people are reminiscing about the Uchiha clan and think that the current police force is rubbish."
"Third Hokage used this as an opportunity to punish the person in charge of the police force, depriving the ninja who neglected their duties that day of their rights, and ordered the promotion of Natsuo to Jōnin".
Root is also a member of the Anbu, and the Anbu has the responsibility of gathering intelligence.
"Mm..." Danzo nodded slowly.
Third Hokage taking advantage of this matter was completely within his expectations.
But it was just some insignificant rights.
He just didn't expect that Natsuo would dare to defend the Uchiha clan now.
"Hmph, he truly is the only survivor of the Uchiha, so lucky!" Danzo's voice carried a hint of coldness.
Sasuke doesn't really count as a survivor because no one wants to harm him.
But Natsuo is a true survivor, relying on luck to escape the massacre of his clan!
"It seems like the Uchiha needs a lesson".
Of course, not now. Sarutobi Hiruzen is keeping a close eye on him, but there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Suddenly, Danzo's expression changed, and he looked up at the roof.
"Hmm? Who is it!"
Boom!
The next second, a loud crashing sound.
The wooden roof was smashed open by a wooden box the size of a suitcase and crashed to the ground.
"Who is it?!"
"Who threw that thing?"
"Someone in the sky?"
The sudden attack made the Shimura clan somewhat panicked.
But they were elite ninjas after all, and their reactions were very quick.
Some rushed to the roof, some protected Danzo, and some cautiously approached the slightly broken wooden box, full of vigilance.
Danzo suddenly frowned, "Does this wooden box seem to be making some kind of sound?"
Sound? Everyone listened carefully.
Sizzle! sizzle! sizzle!
Indeed, there was a strange sound coming from the box, a sound they had never heard before. But it felt somewhat familiar...
"Explosive tags!" Danzo's face changed.
The next second!
Boom!
