The rewards for the missions were calculated based on the B-rank mission rewards, and any changes to the mission rank were communicated to Konoha via telegram.
……
At this time, in Konoha Village.
After the Root was destroyed by Kumo using the alias Uzumaki Sora, its remaining parts were taken over by Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado after Danzo's death.
Like the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo who had already died, both of them inherited the will of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.
Their fear of the Uchiha clan has never diminished in the slightest.
Furthermore, in recent years, as the Uchiha clan has escaped the clutches of the police force, it has gained more and more allies.
This is a situation that none of the three of them wanted to see.
"Hmm, is everything you reported true?!"
Mitomon Yan looked at Root, who was wearing a mask in front of him, his hand holding the document already bulging with blue energy.
The Root remnant called Hum replied in a low voice: "When Lord Danzo was still alive, Root had written records about the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan and the cells of the First Hokage."
"After the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is awakened, frequent use will eventually lead to blindness. And this is evidenced in Itachi Uchiha's records."
"As for Uchiha Yun, judging from the number of times he has used his eyes, his eyes should already be blurry by now."
Koharu, standing nearby, frowned and asked, "But judging from Uchiha Yun's usual behavior, his eyesight doesn't seem to have deteriorated at all. Could it be..."
Mitokado Homura nodded: "If what is recorded in this document is true, then Uchiha Un must have also conducted experiments on the First Hokage's cells."
Koharu Utatane pondered, "Experiments with the First Hokage's cells—this is something that was banned and sealed away by the Hokage's order many years ago! The Uchiha... dare to dabble in the First Hokage's power!!"
Then she looked at Hum and asked, "Where is this experimental subject called Faith now?"
Hun bowed his head and replied respectfully, "After the Root was destroyed by Uzumaki Sora, Orochimaru disappeared when he defected. And a long time ago, Shin was one of Orochimaru's test subjects who volunteered."
Orochimaru?
He defected from Konoha, was one of the Legendary Sannin, and was a disciple of Hiruzen.
The two, who knew Hiruzen Sarutobi's personality, exchanged a glance and both saw affirmation in each other's eyes.
Even though he was Hiruzen's disciple, he thought of their past relationship and believed that someone with such a constitution should not be allowed to wander outside.
Only the power that is in our own hands can truly protect Konoha!
"Go down."
Mitokado Yan's voice rang out.
Hum, who was bowing and waiting, was taken aback and raised his head slightly, seemingly puzzled.
Being a member of Root means being utterly loyal to Danzo. The reason these two are able to control the remaining Root members is largely because the Root members trust them to lead the remaining Root members and continue Danzo's will.
"My lords, everyone remaining in the Root is willing to serve you!"
Mitomon Homura's gaze fell upon Hum, cold and sharp, just like Danzo's earlier gaze.
"I said... you can leave!"
Under the intimidation of the superior, Hong took a small step back, then bowed and left.
……
"Should we tell Hiruzen about this, En?"
Turning to the dormitory, Xiaochun looked at the documents in his hand, and at this moment, she also felt a little panicked.
The Uchiha clan, Mangekyou Sharingan.
Those eyes, that power, weren't enough; they dared to dabble in the power of the First Generation.
If that brat named Uchiha Yun were to actually obtain it, and the powers of Uchiha Madara and the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, were combined, who in this world could stop him?
In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, only a handful of people had ever witnessed the power of the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha.
That power, which is called divine, is unimaginable to those who have never seen it.
The Nine-Tails, which was under control, was wrapped in blue chakra armor, and was a Wood Release giant as tall as a mountain.
A casual strike landed, and it was an attack like a Tailed Beast Ball.
If such power falls into the hands of that evil Uchiha clan, Konoha could be destroyed at any moment.
That man named Uchiha Madara...
Koharu thought back to a long time ago, when she had just entered the Ninja Academy presided over by the Second Hokage.
At this moment, Mitokado Homura interrupted her thoughts: "No, don't tell Hiruzen about this for now."
Koharu Utatane looked at him: "But without Hiruzen's support, we..."
"laugh……"
Mitokado Homura scoffed, "Do you really think Hiruzen still has any power? How many of the Third Hokage's direct ANBU members have already begun to distrust him?"
"Furthermore, given Hiruzen's indecisive nature, the fact that the Uchiha are now hiding their true selves might make him take them for granted."
"You should know... the Sharingan and First Hokage cells of the Uchiha clan, the power of the Sharingan and Wood Release all in one person—how dangerous would that be? Especially since that person is an Uchiha!"
Koharu's brows furrowed; she understood the meaning behind those words.
It's important to know that even the Nine-Tails, the most powerful of the nine tailed beasts, was originally just a pet in the hands of the First Hokage.
Under the influence of Wood Release, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) was powerless to resist.
In this situation, the tailed beast inside Kushina's body is simply at the opponent's mercy.
"Yan, what's your plan?"
Mitokado Homura looked out the window at the Uchiha clan's territory, then shifted his gaze to the solitary old Hatake house in the village.
“We are not without experience in dealing with strong opponents.”
As he spoke, Mitokado Homura took out the documents in his hand: "The subtlety of politics lies in the balance between the parties. If one party becomes too powerful, the balance will be broken."
"Konoha has only been a village for a few decades, but the horrors of the Warring States period are still remembered by the elders of every clan."
"That's why no one dares to let another person with the power of Madara Uchiha appear in the Uchiha clan. Even the Hyuga clan, who received favors from others, is no exception."
Having said that, Koharu Tsurugi clearly understood what her old friend meant.
Indeed, the delicate nature of politics lies in maintaining balance.
With the power of Madara Uchiha as a deterrent, no clan could tolerate the birth of such an extraordinary power.
Once the Uchiha are separated from the group, they are much easier to deal with.
Will he resist?
Xiaochun, who was changing dorm rooms, asked the most crucial question.
Mitokado Homura shook his head firmly: "Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi will stop him. If it were the Uchiha of the past, they might have gone all out and fought to the death."
"But nowadays, after the war with Kumogakure ended, there are even calls for a new Hokage from the Uchiha clan. Heh..."
"How dare an Uchiha who stole the First Hokage's power through human experimentation covet the Hokage's position?!"
"Given the current favorable situation for the Uchiha clan, neither Uchiha Shisui nor Uchiha Itachi would agree to a coup."
“These two people are not idiots. Given Konoha’s current deterrent power, if the Uchiha were to stage a coup, both the previously defeated Kumogakure and the other three great ninja villages would inevitably seize the opportunity to take action.”
"They are also afraid, afraid that Konoha will have another Uchiha Madara. If that happens, they will be suppressed for decades again."
After he finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent.
After a long while, Koharu Utatane looked at her old friend and said, "In that case, if that brat really did conduct experiments with the first generation of cells, then..."
"Do not."
Mitokado Homura interrupted her: "Speculation will always remain speculation. Judging from Uchiha Un's eyesight, the other party's experiment may have already been completed. The laboratory... needs our help."
"The rejection reaction of primary cells is not so easy to eliminate. It only requires examining his body and cooperating with the laboratory to achieve the goal."
Upon hearing this, Koharu Tsurugi was taken aback.
"Shall we help him build a laboratory?"
Mitomon nodded: "Given his current prestige in the village, much like White Fang did back then, it would be very difficult to get him to confess without eyewitness evidence."
Is that so?
Koharu Utatane's eyes showed some struggle, but the name Uchiha was enough to overwhelm everything.
Then, there was silence in the meeting room.
……
On the streets of Konoha.
The sounds of smashing and looting came from the barbecue restaurant, followed by the shouting of a drunkard.
A short while later, a three-man squad from the security forces ran over, led by the Uchiha and followed by two ninjas from smaller clans.
"A series of light arrays!"
A simple barrier ninjutsu was activated with hand seals, instantly freezing the drunkard's rampaging figure.
Then, the leader of the Uchiha clan stepped forward and began to inquire about the specific situation.
In his drunken state, the drunkard arrogantly admitted to his actions and even asked what could be done to him.
If this arrogant attitude had been from a few years ago, the Uchiha would have been taught a lesson right now.
However, the Uchiha leader ignored the provocative insults and instead took out the records, announcing on the spot the rules the other party had violated and the punishment.
The onlookers were all satisfied with the report, and the record was then divided in two, with one copy posted at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant.
Finally, they took the drunkard into custody, intending to take him back to the garrison to sober up first.
After the group left, the onlookers began to murmur among themselves.
"I had heard that the current security forces are different from before, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Uchiha Kumo is a hero of the village, how can the Uchiha clan smear his name?"
"Speaking of which, nowadays every family has its own security force, and it just so happens that the leader today is from the Uchiha clan."
"Lord Shisui is truly a master of management."
