Naruto: The Uchiha's Scientific Madman

"What's wrong? Are you in a difficult situation?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked again, his tone hardening and tinged with anger.

Fugaku Uchiha remained silent for a long time.

He did not speak.

He gazed intently at the Third Hokage.

"Uchiha Ao didn't leave behind many relatives, and as the person in charge of this incident..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi provided a way out.

There was no more excessive pressure.

At this moment, Fugaku Uchiha finally spoke, slowly uttering a few words.

"He has a younger brother named Uchiha Ran, who was recently recruited into the Anbu through the Special Jonin Exams, and a younger sister named Uchiha Yukari, who graduated from the Ninja Academy at the beginning of the year."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at him, put the pipe on the table in his mouth, and pursed his lips.

"How about Uchiha Ran?"

He made his point clear from the start.

The talent displayed by Uchiha Ran, a young member of the Uchiha clan, is astonishing, and she even has a close relationship with Shimura Danzo.

This made him extremely wary.

Let this guy continue to grow, once the relationship between Shimura Danzo and the Uchiha clan is eased.

Then his position as Hokage would be in jeopardy.

One side consists of a special ninja assassination unit that controls external operations, infiltration, and assassination missions, while the other side is the Uchiha police force that has the authority to patrol the entire Hidden Leaf Village and is responsible for the village's security and law enforcement.

Once they unite, they can prevent him, as the Hokage, from leaving the Hokage Building.

It involves the core power held by the individual.

Hiruzen Sarutobi dared not gamble.

That's why we ended up with this scene.

Fugaku Uchiha was unaware of this, and when he heard the name Ran Uchiha, he was completely stunned.

Many ideas flashed through my mind.

Since joining the Anbu, Uchiha Ran's popularity within the clan once surpassed that of Uchiha Shisui, and she was beginning to emerge as the number one among the younger generation of Uchiha.

Even his most promising son, Uchiha Itachi, could hardly compare to him.

Continue to let Uchiha Ran grow.

Even he, as the clan leader, could be threatened.

If Uchiha Ran can truly become the mastermind behind this attack, then he will inevitably be punished by the village.

Even if you don't die, you'll still be skinned alive.

Uchiha Shisui had no intention of vying for the position of clan leader.

After eliminating Uchiha Ran, his son will be able to succeed Shisui and become the leader of the younger generation of the Uchiha clan.

This lays the groundwork for his future succession to the position of clan leader.

The price was just one small member of the clan.

This exchange...

It's incredibly profitable!

Fugaku Uchiha was intrigued. After a moment's thought, he replied, "Hokage-sama, may I go back and consider it, and then give you an answer?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi lightly waved his empty left hand.

Fugaku Uchiha turned and left.

As he stepped out of the Hokage's office, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Under the dominance of the Naruto,

Even the clan elders would probably not choose to protect Uchiha Ran, a member of the clan.

Sacrificing Lan to save the entire family is the right choice.

Any clan leader would have made the same decision.

Family interests are not subject to human will.

Moreover, this is a plan that kills three birds with one stone.

He was able to avoid a major threat, his son lost a rival, and he also had an explanation to give to the Hokage.

There is no reason to refuse.

Next.

All that's needed is to inform the family's higher-ups about the village's ideas.

Three days later.

The Uchiha clan's top leaders made a decision at a small meeting.

Under duress from his family.

Ultimately, Uchiha Ran had no choice but to surrender and allow the clan leader to escort him to the Anbu prison for trial by the Konoha village leadership.

Attacking the Hokage is a serious crime.

This is an act of subversion against superiors.

This violates the first principle of ninjas.

They were almost always sentenced to death and would be executed immediately.

This is tantamount to the Uchiha clan personally sending Uchiha Ran to the guillotine.

The decision by the higher-ups caused a stir within the Uchiha clan. The rise of Uchiha Ranbu greatly inspired many clan members and earned him a great deal of goodwill.

In Konoha Village, they acted so unreasonably, arresting Ran on such trumped-up charges without providing any evidence.

This completely ignited the Uchiha's fury.

Fugaku Uchiha's mansion was severely damaged immediately, and the next morning it was covered in excrement, making the entire exterior wall reek.

Unlike the Hyuga clan, the Uchiha clan leader doesn't have the power of life and death.

If you can't stand someone, even Madara Uchiha will be betrayed.

Moreover, Fugaku Uchiha, as the clan head, was not exactly a powerful figure.

The night before departure.

With the permission of several elders, Lan returned home.

Spend your last day with your family.

The mother prepared a simple noodle meal to send off Uchiha Ran.

My younger sister, Zi, cried until her eyes were red and then fainted on the bed.

I can't face this situation.

After Lan finished eating her noodles.

His mother sat down in front of him and asked softly, "Do you hate Qing?"

"I don't hate."

Lan shook her head and said, her expression calm.

"My brother made his own choice. After our father died, he shouldered the burden of the family all by himself."

"I am very grateful that he did not abandon us during the most difficult time, but went on to pursue his own dreams."

"I don't want to be a burden to him, making him give up his future for us."

Lan looked out the window and her gaze fell on a wooden stake in the yard.

The scene of his elder brother teaching him to be low-key and hide his talent reappeared before his eyes.

Judging from his current situation, his brother was right.

These people from the Uchiha clan are not trustworthy.

"Blue, you've always been more talented than Green, but you're too trusting of others and lack Green's independent thinking."

"This may be related to your upbringing. You have always tried to please others to maintain a superficial harmonious relationship, to the point that you have forgotten that interests are the fundamental balance of a relationship."

"Lan, remember this lesson. Don't trust others too much, even if it's your most respected older brother. Qing! Always be cautious."

The mother commented softly.

Over the years, she had watched Lan relentlessly carry out missions and improve his strength to serve his family and village, and she had already foreseen the current situation.

The village had already engaged in the tactic of discarding a useful tool after it had served its purpose when it removed Baiya.

A talent that is too dazzling will only be a mirage and a pipe dream if it is not protected by a strong background.

This crisis may not necessarily be a bad thing.

If Lan Fanran can be made to realize his mistakes, he may have a bright future.

"Mother, you are right. My little sister's future will not follow in the footsteps of my brother and me."

"Unfortunately, our involvement will make your family life increasingly difficult."

Lan nodded silently, recalling the advice his mother had given him when he decided to fully display his talent and aspire to become the number one in the family.

At the time, he only thought his mother wasn't a ninja and didn't understand anything.

Now it seems that only the mother saw things most clearly.

As an ordinary Uchiha clanswoman, she had long seen through the true nature of Konoha Village.

I have no hope.

"I have always hoped that each of you siblings could grow up peacefully and become independent, so I have not interfered with any of the choices you have made."

The mother smiled gently.

She took a disposable injection from her sleeve and handed it to Lan.

"This is what Qing left for you. I was worried that it would be discovered and implicate us, so I hid it."

"Now that we're in this situation, I'll give it to you."

Lan glanced at the injection.

It immediately reminded me of what I had seen in the root base.

Intercolumnar cells!

The fact that such a crude collection method could survive shows its extraordinary resilience.

"Lord Danzo... he was indeed a prophet. My brother really did leave something for me."

He sighed inwardly.

After obtaining the target object

There's no need for Lan to act anymore.

He gave his mother a cold look; it was she who had kept his brother's things a secret.

This has meant that all these years he has had to rely on his talent to work hard.

At that moment, a hint of resentment towards my mother arose in my heart.

If he had obtained this three years ago, he would have been a full member of Root long ago.

Lan Yi gripped the injection in his hand without a second thought and turned to head straight for the root.

The Uchiha clan is willing to hand him over.

However, Uchiha Ran is not currently under the control of the Uchiha clan.

He is a member of the Anbu, a trainee in the Anbu Special Training Program, and only obeys the orders of Anbu leader Danzo.

The Uchiha clan has no right to punish a Root member.

Ever since being abandoned by my brother.

He no longer had any attachment to the Uchiha clan.

The roots gave him everything he has today.

This made him a shining Uchiha genius throughout Konoha.
