Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

"If the research and development results of the Research Department had not been supported by the Uchiha clan, how could they have been successfully developed?"

Now that everything is finally done, he wants to jump out and reap the benefits without lifting a finger. What kind of logic is that?

"What exactly is he trying to do? This is clearly a deliberate attempt to suppress our Uchiha clan; he doesn't want to see our power grow stronger!"

Standing next to Uchiha Tetsuka, another Uchiha Jonin, also wearing a vest, Uchiha Enka, took over the conversation with a face full of anger.

His face flushed red, and veins bulged on his forehead, as if he were about to explode at any moment.

Many of the Uchiha clan members present at the clan meeting could no longer contain their resentment and began to express their dissatisfaction.

The miraculous effects of those pills had long been legendary in the tribe.

After all, several members of the Uchiha clan, including Tekka, Enka, and Touka, had seen a significant increase in their eye power and strength recently after consuming it.

The amazing performance of Uchiha Tetsuka and others at the last clan meeting was like a bombshell, shocking the hearts of every clan member.

All the Uchiha Jonin are eagerly awaiting the results of the next batch of pill tests, hoping to elevate the Uchiha clan to a higher level.

However, the Konoha leadership suddenly issued an unacceptable order, which was undoubtedly rubbing salt into their wounds.

"We absolutely cannot let the Third Generation's conspiracy succeed!" a clansman shouted angrily, his voice echoing throughout the hall and resonating with many more clansmen.

"Clan Chief!" Uchiha Touka turned to the clan chief, Uchiha Fugaku, his expression full of anxiety. "This is definitely not the Third Hokage's intention."

Seeing that the clansmen's emotions were becoming increasingly agitated, like a flood about to burst its banks, Fugaku Uchiha slowly raised his hand and calmly pressed it down.

That dignified gesture seemed to possess an invisible power.

This instantly silenced everyone who was filled with anxiety, as well as the clansmen who were worried about the pills.

Like a tamed beast, they waited quietly for his next words.

"Shisui, tell us what's going on."

Fugaku Uchiha's gaze swept calmly over the crowd, finally landing on Shisui Uchiha, who had been standing quietly to the side, and he called out softly.

"Shisui? What could he possibly have to do with this? Isn't he under Orochimaru's command? Does he have information from Orochimaru's side?"

Amidst the crowd, hushed conversations rose and fell like the buzzing of mosquitoes.

Just then, a slightly thin figure slowly walked out from the crowd.

He was only about half the height of the people in the room, and appeared somewhat thin compared to the taller clansmen around him, but his straight back exuded a sense of resilience.

Under the intense gazes of his clansmen, Shisui calmly and slowly spoke: "This is not the Hokage's intention, but the intention of Danzo, the leader of Root, and the two advisors."

"How do you know?" A member of the Uchiha clan frowned and couldn't help but question him.

"It was Lord Orochimaru who told me." Shisui remained calm and composed in the face of the question.

"It's that old bastard Danzo again!" The mention of Shimura Danzo immediately filled the Uchiha clan members present with righteous indignation, and they all gritted their teeth.

In their hearts, if you were to ask who the most annoying and disgusting Konoha high-ranking officials were, then Shimura Danzo would undoubtedly be the answer.

He was like a buzzing fly, constantly causing trouble for the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan's attitude towards Danzo was already an open secret.

"Let's put Danzo's issue aside for now. What we urgently need to clarify right now is the stance of Orochimaru and Hiruko." A gentle and steady voice rang out in the silent meeting room.

All eyes turned to the Uchiha clansman with a calm expression and an aura of composure rarely seen in the Uchiha clan.

This person is none other than Uchiha Akiyo.

Uchiha Akiyo possesses exceptional strategic analytical skills and the talent to lead other members of her clan.

When Fugaku ascended to the position of clan leader, he was able to quickly suppress internal divisions and firmly consolidate his position thanks to the strong support of Uchiha Akiyo.

"What Hiruko and Lord Orochimaru mean is that the research can continue and the drug supply can continue, but the support we provide should not be interrupted either." Shisui repeated Orochimaru's words with a focused expression.

"What about Danzo Nashimura and his two advisors? Do you think they'll agree so easily?"

A hint of joy flashed across Uchiha Akiyo's face at first, but then she frowned and said worriedly, "Orochimaru and Hiruko's attitude has become clear, which is undoubtedly good news."

If the situation with Danzo and his two advisors is not resolved, the final outcome of the matter will remain uncertain.

Although the research department currently has a certain degree of autonomy, since the Hokage does not directly provide funding, it is ultimately a subordinate department of the Hokage and will inevitably be subject to the control of the Hokage faction.

Shisui was simply following Orochimaru's instructions and diligently explaining his meaning to his clansmen.

"According to the information Orochimaru-sama received, this proposal was not approved by the Third Hokage at all. It was just that old man Danzo Shimura who took advantage of the Third Hokage's reputation to issue the order without authorization," Shisui said seriously.

"I knew that old dog Shimura Danzo was up to no good and was always looking for trouble!" A member of the Uchiha clan breathed a sigh of relief, his worries easing slightly, but he immediately began to curse angrily again.

The resentment that the Uchiha clan has accumulated is largely due to Danzo Shimura.

Whether it was the clan leader or anyone else in the clan, they all hoped that Shimura Danzo would suddenly die, dying tragically on the battlefield.

The funding for this research department was provided by the Uchiha clan with their tireless efforts, and the results of this technological development should rightfully belong to the Uchiha clan.

"We, the Uchiha clan, should rightfully receive pills that enhance our eye power."

"After all, we have invested so much manpower, material resources and financial resources, which has already had a real impact on the training progress and daily life of some of our tribesmen."

"Clan head, you must raise your objections to the Fourth Hokage at the next Jonin meeting."

Unlike the other clan members who vented their emotions freely, Uchiha Akiyo spoke seriously to the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku.

"I will. I will communicate with Orochimaru and Hiruko first, and then contact the Hokage Minato Namikaze." Fugaku Uchiha nodded and replied solemnly.

His gaze then slowly swept over the crowd.

Seeing his own voluptuous figure, Mikoto holding Sasuke in her arms, a hint of comfort appeared in his eyes.

Mikoto is also an extremely important pawn in my game; if things really don't work out...
