Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 477 Sister?

He stepped out of the Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the indifferent expressions of the Konoha ninjas around him, then looked back behind him.

The building that catches the eye is still that familiar building.

However, the house has changed owners.

Looking around at the Konoha ninjas, most of whom were filled with anticipation, and at the still bustling streets in the distance, he felt a little dejected.

The world will continue to function as usual, even if someone is missing, such as him, who has served as Hokage for many years.

Even without him, Konoha would still be prosperous, and might even be better.

"Sarutobi, do you really believe all that nonsense that Uchiha Toshiro spouts?"

Koharu Utatane, who was standing right next to Hiruzen Sarutobi, watched as those around them avoided them like the plague.

He spoke to Sarutobi Hikaru, his tone revealing a sense of resentment.

"The whole 'for the sake of peace in the ninja world' thing is just a lie. We've said this countless times on stage."

Isn't it just empty promises?

She, as the former Hokage's assistant, had done this countless times during her tenure, but she had never seen these Konoha ninjas so excited.

"And these people, how dare they treat us like this! This must have been ordered by Uchiha Toshiro to be done by these opportunists!"

In the past, she was always the center of attention wherever she went.

What now?

Not only did these Konoha ninjas ignore her, but at other times, younger members of her clan would also come to her to complain.

They were arrested and taken to the security forces after getting into a fight with someone while drunk and injuring him.

Many shops run by members of the clan are being squeezed out of business by neighboring merchants.

She went to the Hokage Building and the security forces herself to find out what was going on, but they looked down on her. She learned firsthand what Konoha's speed of action was all about.

What's even more infuriating is that these people just sent one or two new employees to get rid of her, and they didn't even bother to see her. How could she stand that?

"These sycophants should have been sent to the front lines as cannon fodder in the first place."

In the past, she wouldn't have needed to worry about such things; her subordinates would have handled everything perfectly.

It simply wouldn't reach her ears.

"Xiaochun, this is reality!"

With a sigh, the Third Generation knew more than Koharu Utatane.

These people have been in high positions for so many years, and many things have been covered up by those below them.

Because of their protection, the clansmen have become somewhat arrogant over the years, which has caused them a lot of trouble.

After he stepped down, many people started digging up old grievances, sending many people to prison.

This is just a minor matter.

Most importantly, many supplies that were originally supplied exclusively by these families in the village have started to seek new suppliers.

Furthermore, the gambling dens, Kabukicho, and arms dealerships that originally paid 'protection money' to their family all handed over this money to the Uchiha clan.

This led to a sharp decline in their family income, coupled with the removal of a large number of people from government and management positions.

These people are used to a comfortable life, how could they withstand the high-intensity combat in a mission?

They're all currently idle within the family.

"We just have to get used to this kind of life!"

There was nothing they could do; they were no longer in power in Konoha. It was only natural that the benefits that were not rightfully theirs would slip away from them.

"Although things are much harder for the clan than before, thankfully the Hokage hasn't deliberately suppressed us, which is already very good!"

Those involved know best what their attitude towards the Uchiha clan was in the past.

During the most difficult time for the Uchiha clan, the clan's funds were exhausted, and they even had to buy kunai shuriken from Granny Cat on credit.

Now that the Uchiha have taken power, the fact that the Hokage hasn't retaliated with double the revenge is already a testament to his magnanimity.

"You should also tell your clansmen to behave themselves. After this incident, the Hokage's attitude towards us won't be as indifferent as before!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi understood that Toshiro had only recently taken over and was not yet in a position to openly attack and kill them, so he was still showing some restraint.

However, as time went by, Toshiro Uchiha's position as Hokage became more and more secure.

If these people don't behave themselves and keep jumping around in Toshiro's sight, they won't have a good outcome.

After saying this, Hiruzen Sarutobi tightened his grip on his pipe, ignored his old friends, and disappeared into the street alone.

Those who lost their rights due to fate and seemed somewhat dejected were left standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

……

"Jiraiya, won't you consider staying in Konoha?"

In the Hokage's office, Toshiro looked at the white-haired middle-aged man below, gestured to the side with his chin, and his expression spoke volumes.

In the direction he indicated, Tsunade, Shizune, and Chie were chatting enthusiastically.

They didn't even notice his movements.

"This... I need to think about it carefully!"

Jiraiya glanced at Tsunade, his expression becoming somewhat conflicted.

It's clear whether to follow the Great Toad Sage's prophecy and search the world for the chosen one, or to stay in the village and cherish one's beloved.

A fierce conflict arose within him.

"Serves you right for being single forever!"

With a slight smirk, Toshiro still had a good impression of Tsunade and Jiraiya as a couple, but if possible, he wouldn't recommend forcing them to get married.

However, since Jiraiya is so useless, he deserves to be single for life.

"This matter is fine within the village, but relaying the information is a problem. Other villages are manageable, but for Yan and Yun, I plan to have you personally make the trip."

He was not a dictatorial person; for matters concerning the peace of the entire ninja world, he convened an expanded meeting.

He gathered all the prominent figures in Konoha to discuss his peace plan.

After three days, the response so far seems to be very good.

Everyone had high expectations for the plan proposed by the Hokage.

The problem now is that to get this done, we need to convene a Five Shadows Conference.

The situation is manageable with the Sand Village and Mist Village, but if an ordinary ninja were to go and deliver a message to the Cloud Village and Iwa Village, something unexpected might happen.

It would be better to get a seasoned veteran like Jiraiya to handle this!

"Well... okay!"

Jiraiya hesitated only slightly before agreeing to the mission.

Seeing that the other party nodded in agreement, Toshiro didn't stand on ceremony and directly picked up two scrolls from his desk and handed them to him.

the other side.

Naruto, who had just returned home, looked at the little girl in front of him and the woman who looked somewhat like his mother.

His blue eyes widened, and he remained stunned for a long time.

"Naruto, this is your sister Karin. Don't bully her in the future!"

It only took Kushina one day to get to Kusagakure, but it took her three days to get back to the village with Minako and her daughter.

"younger sister?"

Naruto looked at the little girl with glasses, then at his mother, his head filled with question marks.

He found it strange that everyone else had the surname Whirlpool, but he wasn't the only one with red hair.

"Hello, my name is Naruto Uzumaki. You can follow me from now on. If anyone bullies you, just say my name!"

Naruto is quite cheerful; he only hesitated for a moment before putting those worries behind him.

He gave the girl, who seemed a little timid in the unfamiliar environment, a bright smile.

"I...I'm called...Karin Uzumaki!" Looking at her mother, Karin continued, "Nice to meet you from now on!"

Back in the Land of Grass, in order to conceal their Uzumaki clan identity as much as possible, Minako and Karin did not mention their surnames.

Now that they've come to Konoha, at Kushina's suggestion, they no longer need to be so cautious.

Bang!

"Ouch! It hurts!"

"Mom! Why did you hit me?"

Naruto was punched on the head by Kushina. Tears welled up in his eyes from the pain.

"What do you mean by 'following you'? When did you become so worldly-wise?"

Having attended the Ninja Academy, Kushina knew all too well the atmosphere there.

But she couldn't bear to see her own son gradually becoming like this. However, glancing at Karin and her son beside her, she forced back her anger and said...

"And this Aunt Minako, she's Mom's sister. You have to treat her like you would your mother, understand?"

Kushina felt a pang of sadness at the thought of Minako's health condition.

Although she wasn't a professional doctor, she could still sense that Minako was weak and listless. Thinking about this, she couldn't stay at home any longer.

As for Tsunade, I wonder if there's any good way to make amends and help Minako recover some of her energy.

"Naruto, take Karin to familiarize herself with the surroundings. Mom still needs to go to the Hokage Building."

Kushina gave Karin, who was hiding behind Minako, a smile, and then rushed towards the Hokage Building.

On one hand, she went to Tsunade, hoping he could find a way to resolve Minako's physical condition.

Another thing is to properly thank the Hokage.

She knew that the Hokage told her about Minako and her son because she and Naruto were the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The Hokage seems to be trying to win them over.

But she accepted it readily.

The thought of Minako's hideous wounds made her feel as if she were being cut by a knife.

At the same time, he also harbored a slight dissatisfaction with the incompetent third generation leader.

She is no longer the little girl who devoted herself entirely to her lover.

Seven or eight years of experience as a single mother has shed her former naivety and innocence.

She knew that if the Third Hokage wanted to, he could find the remnants of the Land of Whirlpools, but he had never done so in all these years.

Moreover, she went to the Hokage hoping that Toshiro could help her keep an eye on the Uzumaki clan members who were in dire straits.
