Chapter 6: The Envy of the Konoha F4!
Chapter 6: The Envy of the Konoha F4!
"These things, which ones must we take with us?"
Uchiha Yaei suddenly asked.
At this moment, her palm, aside from some bloodstains, showed no signs of injury.
"Plants and books!"
To Hei instantly understood her meaning.
This was a clear indication that they needed to take the important things with them quickly, and if they couldn't, they should destroy them.
The most precious things were in her mind.
The plants had taken her considerable time to cultivate.
While they weren't indispensable, it would require a significant amount of effort and time to grow them again, so they couldn't be left behind.
The books were borrowed and couldn't be damaged.
As for the other items?
They were all things she had earned through work and daily savings, so they were insignificant.
Uchiha Yaei lightly clapped her hands.
Whoosh!
Two Uchiha clan members appeared at the door.
"Miss Yaei!" 2
No way.
Uchiha Yaei, being the head family's young lady, couldn't possibly be left without protection.
Especially within the village.
Danzo's malice toward the Uchiha clan was no secret, so they couldn't afford to let their guard down.
"Take all these plants and books back, and dispose of the rest!"
Uchiha Yaei said, then quickly left with To Hei.
They needed to act fast, as the longer they delayed, the more passive they would become.
Hokage's Office!
Ape Fly Sarutobi, who was handling official business, suddenly looked up.
A document had appeared on his desk.
After reading its contents, his expression turned serious as he summoned a member of the Anbu.
"Go and bring Danzo and the two elders here!"
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
The Anbu figure swiftly disappeared.
Not long after.
Tap tap!
The sound of a cane tapping on the wooden floor echoed, followed by the door being pushed open.
"Shirahama, what do you want?"
Danzo asked bluntly, showing no respect for Ape Fly Sarutobi, the Hokage.
Indeed, he considered himself the root of Konoha, placing himself on the same level as the Hokage.
"Call me Hokage-sama!"
Ape Fly Sarutobi snapped, irritated.
Danzo's constant lack of respect made it difficult for him to maintain his authority. If he didn't assert himself regularly, who knew what Danzo would dare to do next.
Danzo, of course, was unwilling to bow.
At that moment, two figures entered the room.
"Ape Fly, you called us...," said Mito Ikeno, entering the office and seeing the two men facing off. He changed the subject with a headache, "Is something wrong?"
He was too familiar with their daily interactions to bother asking the reason.
"Danzo, you owe me an explanation!"
Ape Fly Sarutobi suddenly locked eyes with Danzo.
"What do you mean?"
Danzo asked, feigning ignorance.
His acting was impeccable!
If it were an outsider, they might have been fooled.
But the few people in the office had grown up together and could easily see through his act.
"You know exactly what I mean. The healing potion is not something Root should be after!"
Ape Fly Sarutobi laid it all on the table, handing the document to the two elders.
"You actually spied on me, Sarutobi!"
Danzo erupted in anger.
I've done so much for you, Sarutobi, and you spy on me? Is this how you want to split the clan?
Yes, at that moment, he completely forgot about the spies he had planted in the Anbu.
For him, that wasn't spying; it was protecting the Hokage.
"Danzo, this item must be controlled by the Medical Corps!"
Tanzo Koshun spoke up after reading the document.
If the contents were true, the implications were significant.
A potion that could compensate for the scarcity of medical ninjas would give Konoha a considerable advantage in battle.
As for the original owner of the healing potion?
Sorry, for them, the advisory elders, the owner was merely a pawn to be manipulated.
Here is the rewritten chapter with non-English characters replaced with their English equivalents or transliterations:
After some internal deliberation, the Leaf Village F4 finally divided the spoils among themselves.
Next, it was time to move into the practical phase.
"Take it to Root, I guarantee I'll bring it back!"
Greed shone in Danzo's eyes.
The value of Uchiha Doherty, who had developed such a remarkable substance, was undeniable.
Although the village had a research genius in Orochimaru, Danzo couldn't control him. Now that a new talent had emerged, he wasn't about to let this opportunity slip away.
So, from the start, Danzo never intended to just oversee the development of the healing potion—he wanted it all.
"No way!" Hiruzen Sarutobi flatly refused. "This matter will be handled by Koharu. Root is not to be involved!"
Having grown up together, Sarutobi knew Danzo's intentions all too well. He wouldn't let him get his hands on such a valuable asset.
This kind of talent was a treasure for Leaf Village and couldn't be monopolized by Root.
Of course, the condition for his protection was that the individual must revere the Will of Fire. Otherwise, Sarutobi wouldn't be so resolute.
Danzo, naturally, wasn't willing to back down and immediately began to argue.
In the end, he couldn't match the combined efforts of the three. Sarutobi's single sentence broke his defenses.
"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"
Yes, being the Hokage meant having the final say. No matter how reluctant Danzo was, he had to comply.
"Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"
With a slam, Danzo stormed out of the room.
With the Hokage's protection, Root couldn't act against such a powerful individual.
But it was no big deal. There would be other opportunities. After all, what Danzo valued wasn't the healing potion, but the person who created it.
"Hiruzen, be careful of Danzo!"
Shimura Dan's glasses adjusted as he warned. Danzo was becoming increasingly radical.
"Don't worry about it!"
Sarutobi wasn't concerned.
As long as he was the Hokage, there was nothing to worry about.
This confidence allowed him to never restrict Root, letting its power grow.
In his view, the stronger Root was, the more capable it would be in handling tasks he couldn't bear the burden of. It was purely beneficial.
On the other side!
The Uchiha clan's main house was holding a meeting.
Note that this was a meeting of the 'ain house,' not the entire Uchiha clan, so there was no need to gather at the Nakano Shrine.
The meeting took place in the courtyard shaded by two intertwined Wisteria trees.
The Uchiha clan had over a thousand members, divided into four houses.
The main house was the hardline hawk faction, with Madara Uchiha also belonging to this house. The current head was Yai Uchiha.
The second house was the dove faction, where Shisui Uchiha, who hadn't been born yet, belonged.
The third house, to which the current clan head belonged, was the neutral faction, with Fugaku Uchiha being its head.
The fourth house was the fence-sitter faction, and because its head's daughter, Mikan Uchiha, married Fugaku, it supported the third house in securing the clan head position.
The background that was never mentioned in the anime was, in reality, incredibly complex.
Yai Uchiha, as the head of the main house, hadn't officially taken the position yet, but calling an internal meeting of the main house wasn't a problem.
The key was proximity!
All the clan members lived in the same area, making it easy to hold meetings.
However, when everyone gathered, it became clear what it meant to have the 'wealth of a powerful family.'
More than five High-Ranked Ninjas were present.
What did this mean?
The entire village of Leaf Village had around a hundred High-Ranked Ninjas, and the Uchiha clan alone accounted for over twenty of them.
Such a high ratio naturally led to jealousy from other clans.
You're so strong; if we don't band together, we won't even have the qualification to play with you.
Fortunately, the Uchiha clan only had strength in high-level combatants. They lacked top-tier powerhouses, not even having anyone on par with the Three Legendary Sannin. Otherwise, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, might not have slept well at night.
The door slid open, and the six Uchiha main house members, all High-Ranked Ninjas, turned their attention to the two people entering.
