Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 154 Step on Me! (Please Subscribe)

"You're a Konoha ninja, right? What's wrong with these two Rain Ninja? Why are they trying to ambush us here?"

Uchiha Shisui asked, having just returned to the village after completing a mission when he encountered this scene. Moreover, he had just discovered that these two Rain Ninja were still using the name of Konoha to warn the other party, seemingly unaware of why he was being ambushed.

And that person just now used Wood Release: Bloodline Limit?

He's only been out of the village for a month, and now there's already a Wood Release Kekkei Genkai in the village?

"I am Uchiha Shisui. I have just returned to the village after completing a mission. Was this an order from the Hokage?"

Not long after Uchiha Shisui finished speaking, his three other companions arrived, but they surrounded Yahiko.

Upon seeing this, Yahiko loudly proclaimed, "I am Yahiko from the Akatsuki organization of the Land of Rain. I originally came to find the Third Hokage, but left Konoha after failing to meet him. Afterwards, this Konoha ninja who participated in the Chunin Exams tried to ambush us. Is this what Konoha ordered?!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui frowned slightly, then looked at Shin of Root, waiting for him to speak.

However, Shin was a ninja handpicked by Danzo from Root. He only knew how to complete missions from a young age and was not good at talking to people at all.

Uchiha Shisui asked again, "Is this an order from the Hokage?" If so, he could help these two Rain Ninja who were threatening Konoha, but the fact that this person was silent made him a little strange.

Swish!

Another ninja appeared, but his mask differed from the animal masks worn by the Anbu. He immediately said to Uchiha Shisui, "Get out of the way immediately. These two are a threat to Konoha. By order of Lord Danzo, we must deal with them immediately."

Danzo.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui's expression froze. He remembered that a senior member of the clan had told him privately that if he interfered with Root's plans and Danzo's affairs, the clan would secretly reward him.

If you step on Danzo's face or slash him, even the squad leader of the guard unit might get a chance to attack you.

"Who is Danzo? We don't know him at all, and we've never provoked him."

Konan spoke with anger and vigilance, "Yahiko and I are Jiraiya-sensei's students, which is why we came to Konoha."

Jiraiya's disciple?

Seeing the expressions on Yahiko and Konan's faces, Uchiha Shisui realized they didn't seem to be lying. At that moment, his three other teammates approached and asked in low voices...

"Shisui, what do we do now?"

"Both of you will come with me to see the Hokage. If you haven't done anything to threaten Konoha, the Hokage won't do anything to you."

Uchiha Shisui pondered for a moment before speaking to Yahiko, Konan, and the Root ninjas. He said he was finding it difficult to make a decision, but the Hokage would surely be able to decide.

"Come back with me. Don't even think about running away."

After saying that, Uchiha Shisui asked one of his squad members to go back to the village and call the security team, while he opened his Sharingan and stared at both sides.

"Uchiha Shisui, this is a matter for Root!"

"Even the Root members must obey the Hokage's orders."

Uchiha Shisui remained unmoved. Suddenly, his Sharingan made eye contact with the Root member next to Shin. Then, he only saw the blood-red pupils and tomoe slowly rotating. The next second, he was hypnotized.

However, the genjutsu did not harm the Root member, but it made him break out in a cold sweat, serving as a warning; because Uchiha Shisui noticed that they were showing signs of wanting to take forceful action, so he displayed his strength.

"Are you going to take action too? I advise you not to."

Uchiha Shisui looked at Yahiko and Konan. He had just observed their strength and it didn't seem very strong. Moreover, this was Konoha, and his companions had already gone to call for reinforcements. He believed that the security team would arrive soon.

"Yahiko."

Konan tugged at Yahiko's clothes, feeling a pang of regret. She should have listened to that bandaged man and not been so arrogant in coming to Konoha. Just as he said, not only did she fail to meet the Third Hokage at first, but she has now gotten herself into trouble.

"Alright, I'll go with you to see the Third Hokage!"

Yahiko gave Konan a comforting look. He had never offended Konoha before, and he even had a connection with Jiraiya. Why should the Konoha ninjas want to kill him the moment they met?

Now that they've made their relationship with Jiraiya-sensei clear, if they don't dare go, wouldn't that mean there's something really wrong with them?

Seeing that Yahiko and Konan had agreed, Uchiha Shisui turned his attention to the two Root members. However, the Root ninja said sternly, "Uchiha Shisui, you have no right to interfere in Root affairs. Shin, let's go!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, three guard ninjas appeared nearby, along with Uchiha Shisui's companion from earlier.

"Shisui, what happened?"

Upon seeing the scene before him, Uchiha Taizo asked what was happening. They had just escorted the daimyo and nobles away, but on their way back they encountered Uchiha Shisui's companions and were summoned over.

"Senior Tai-san, it's like this..."

After Uchiha Shisui briefly explained what had just happened, Uchiha Taizo understood. He then turned around and said coldly, "Come with us, or we'll beat you both down and bring you before the Hokage."

"Guard Team"

"Enough talk, if you're not leaving, then get ready to fight."

Uchiha Taizo beckoned, and the two clansmen behind him drew their shuriken, their eyes equally cold as they looked at the two Root members.

Surrounded by two Uchiha shuriken, it would be difficult to escape without defensive ninjutsu.

The two Root ninjas then tried to escape, betting that the Uchiha wouldn't dare attack Root ninjas, but they lost their bet.

He was kicked to the ground from behind, then his eyes met, and he was subdued by illusion.

The guard might be more restrained when facing the Dark Division, but when facing the Root Division, the Root Division is like a criminal in the guard's eyes. If they catch them, beat them up, and might even get a reward from the clan chief.

The security team then took the Root ninjas, Yahiko, and Konan back to Konoha and went directly to the Hokage Building.

If the security team wanted to find the Hokage, it wasn't that difficult; they quickly arrived at the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback when he saw so many people coming to find him. After learning the details from Shisui Uchiha, as well as the identities of Yahiko and Konan, his face darkened. Danzo was always causing him trouble.

He then sent someone to the village to find Jiraiya, and they quickly brought him over.

"Yahiko, Konan? What are you doing in Konoha?"

When Jiraiya arrived at the Hokage's office and saw Yahiko and Konan, a look of joy appeared on his face.

He had spent three years with these three students, and he was very reluctant to part with them. "Yahiko, did you come to visit me? But what happened to you?"

As soon as Jiraiya entered, he noticed the situation inside the house: Root ninjas and the security team. He knew at a glance that something was wrong.

"Jiraiya, here's what happened. Root may have misunderstood something during the mission. I'll have the Anbu investigate this matter, and I'll also ask Danzo for clarification."

After Hiruzen Sarutobi explained the situation, Jiraiya angrily picked up the two Root ninjas. He was 1.9 meters tall and had a very burly build, so with a little effort, he could actually lift the two of them into the air.

"What right do you two have to attack my students? What did they do?"

"Jiraiya, calm down and take your students to rest. Leave this to me."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped Jiraiya from acting, then said to Shisui Uchiha and the guards, "Shisui, Taizo, thank you for your hard work on this."

"Then we'll take our leave now."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Taizo bid farewell and left the Hokage's office. However, before leaving, Jiraiya thanked them.

Then, Jiraiya said to Hiruzen Sarutobi, "Old man, I'm taking my students away first, but you'd better ask him clearly, or I won't let him off the hook."

He was one of the Legendary Sannin, after all. If his student hadn't done anything wrong, why was he being hunted down by Root? And even if his student had done something wrong, couldn't he at least tell his teacher?

"Alright, don't worry, I'll let you know later. I will definitely not let your students suffer any injustice."

With outsiders present, Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Jiraiya, his disciple, some face.

"Third Hokage, I came to see you today to discuss the Akatsuki's views on peace. I hope you will listen."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, but still smiled and nodded, saying, "Oh, then Yahiko-kun, you tell me."

"OK!"

Upon hearing this, Yahiko's face lit up with joy. He had originally given up on the idea, but now that he had met the Third Hokage, he felt he would regret it if he didn't express his ideals.

Yahiko then explained the ideals of their Akatsuki organization: to resolve disputes between ninja villages and nations through peaceful negotiations at the negotiating table.

After listening, Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled kindly and nodded, saying, "That's a really good ideal, Yahiko-kun. I see a rare vitality in you. But let me handle this matter first. You two can follow Jiraiya around Konoha for a while, and I'll give you some instructions later."

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to deal with the Root's pursuit first, Yahiko nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you for agreeing with my ideals, Third Hokage. I'll be going with Jiraiya-sensei now."

After the three left the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi dismissed the Root ninjas and summoned Danzo immediately.

"Where did that idiot Jiraiya find such an idiot student?"

He was almost exhausted from listening to what they just said. Luckily, he was stopped by others earlier. But why would Danzo send ninjas to hunt down such a naive Rain Ninja?

"Yukito!"

At the entrance of the sushi restaurant, Samui suddenly saw her friend and classmate and quickly chased after her; before the third exam, she was warned for loitering near the Uchiha clan's territory and thought she would never see Yugito again.

I never expected to run into you here before I left. I'm sure I'll have to chase after you.

"Samui? You're here too. By the way, you must be here for the Chunin Exams, right?"

When Yugito heard someone calling her, she turned around and saw that it was her friend from the Ninja Academy, which reminded her of the Chunin Exams.

She hadn't left the Uchiha clan compound since the Chunin Exams, only venturing out to buy something after they ended, but unexpectedly ran into Yugito.

"Yugito, have you really betrayed the village and decided to become a Konoha ninja?"

As Samui approached, she noticed the Leaf Village headband on Yugito's forehead, and her heart sank. She then whispered, "The village is still trying to rescue you, Yugito, and you've chosen to betray the village."

"The village wanted me dead because of the Two-Tails; the village abandoned me first."

Yugito said in a low voice, explaining that she had now become a Konoha ninja and was gradually settling down there, so she didn't want to discuss this matter with Samui.

"Congratulations on becoming a Chunin, Samui. I'm heading back now."

"Wait a minute, Yugito!"

Sam grabbed Yugito, then pulled him to a corner, continuing to persuade him, "Yugito, we've found a way to take you back, even if it means sacrificing myself. You don't seem to be being watched now, so come with me!"

"Impossible, Samui."

"Yugito, Kumogakure is your true home!"

"I"

"Yukito is doing this for your own good, little girl, but unfortunately you don't understand at all."

Before Yugito could speak, she was interrupted by another person. Samui turned around abruptly and saw the person standing behind her. She no longer had the will to resist.

Uchiha Yang grinned and said, "I already warned Tsuchidae last time, but he doesn't seem to have listened to me. You'd better prepare to spend the rest of your life in Konoha Prison."

Samui didn't say much. Instead, he reached into his ninja tool bag and tried to take out a kunai to resist.

"He has a fiery temper, but he's brainless."

As soon as Uchiha Yang finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed Samui's neck. Then, a weak electric current appeared from his palm, and the paralyzing effect of the Lightning Release made Samui unable to resist.

Then, Uchiha Yoichi said to Yugito, "You did well, you didn't listen to them. Go back now."

"that."

After hearing this, Yugito didn't leave immediately. Instead, he glanced at Samui, lowered his head, and said, "She didn't succeed either, and I don't plan to return to Kumogakure. Samui has taken care of me before, so could you please let her go this time?"

After saying that, Yugito looked up at Uchiha Yoichi, held up one finger, and said, "Let's let this go this time."

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Yoichi said, "You performed well before, and you're a Chunin... Fine, but you have to agree to one condition."

Upon hearing the conditions, Yugito immediately recalled the sounds she often heard late at night, and her little face habitually showed disgust as she asked, "Wh-what conditions?"

What's with that expression? I just want the Two-Tails' chakra!

Upon seeing Yugito's expression, Uchiha Yoichi was immediately displeased. What did she take him for? His thoughts changed, and he said to her, "Step on me with your white-socked feet!!"

Upon hearing this, Yukito was taken aback, and then his face turned bright red.

"H, you big pervert!"
