Naruto: Konoha Spring of the Uchiha Prodigies

Seeing that Uchiha Touken and his companions were completely ignoring them, Jonin Utatane Itsuki of the Utatane clan became somewhat annoyed: "Didn't you hear what I said? You're so late, and you don't even have an apology?"

"I remember, it seems like it's not time for the agreed meeting yet." Uchiha Touhuan turned around, his eyes turning cold.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Inahisa and Uchiha Zaito behind them instantly activated their Sharingan and stared at each other.

"Furthermore, didn't your elders teach you to have at least the most basic respect for the strong?" Uchiha Touhuan's three tomoe eyes slowly rotated.

Inuzuka Kaze, Gekko Hayate, and Uzuki Yugao originally wanted to come over and greet Uchiha Touhuan, but given the current situation, they could only stand aside and watch. As for the other two Hyuga clan members, they crossed their arms and watched the scene coldly.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's set off." Kakashi put away Little Liu Bei and came to the middle of the group, speaking at this moment.

"Since Captain Kakashi has spoken, let's go." Uchiha Touhuan turned off his Sharingan and said with a smile returning to his face.

Although the first meeting wasn't exactly pleasant, the group, led by Kakashi, still submitted the exit procedures at the village entrance.

The mission wasn't time-sensitive, so no one was in a rush to get there.

According to intelligence, Orochimaru recently appeared on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rice Fields, so the direction everyone is heading is north of the village.

During their journey, Inuzuka Kaze's ninja dog named Sumaru would occasionally gravitate towards Uchiha Touhuan.

"Your nose is really sharp." Seeing this, Uchiha Touhuan smiled and took out a few pieces of raw meat from the sealing scroll and fed them to Mowan.

After finishing eating, Mowan barked twice in satisfaction and then licked Uchiha Touhuan's palm.

"Huh? It's strange that Momo is being so friendly to you, a member of the Uchiha clan." Inuzuka Fu was also a little surprised. You see, although the Inuzuka clan and the Uchiha clan didn't have any conflicts in the village, the Inuzuka clan, where everyone kept dogs, and the Uchiha clan, where most of the summoning contracts were with ninja cats, didn't have a very friendly relationship.

"It's probably because I'm one of the few in the clan who hasn't signed a summoning contract with the Ninja Cat Clan. Also, since my summoning beast is a Ninja Hawk, I always keep raw meat on me, so this little guy smelled it," Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile.

“I see.” Inuzuka Fuya smiled broadly.

This little incident brought Inuzuka Fu and Uchiha Touhuan closer together. That's how the Inuzuka clan is; as long as you get along well with their dogs, they become exceptionally friendly.

Seeing this, Hayate Gekko and Yugao Uzuki also came over to greet Uchiha Touhuan.

As time went by, everyone gradually became more familiar with each other. Even the two Hyuga ninjas, after Uchiha Touhuan took the initiative to break the ice, put down their airs and chatted with everyone for a bit. Meanwhile, Utatane Itsuki and Mitokado Hayato, who had not gotten along well with Uchiha Touhuan from the beginning, were gradually isolated.

As evening fell, the group arrived at Tanabata Street, located in the northern part of the Land of Fire.

"It's getting late, let's rest here for the night," Kakashi said.

With no objections from the group, Kakashi led them to a small inn to book rooms. Just then, Uchiha Touhuan suddenly spoke up, "How can we get proper rest in a place like this?"

"Hmph, we're on a mission right now, it's not your place to nitpick." Zhuan Shenshu sneered, "If you're not satisfied, you'd better go back now."

Uchiha Touhuan ignored their taunts and said, "Since we've all ended up in the same team, I'll pay for today's expenses. Kakashi, you, as the team leader, shouldn't have any objections, right?"

“Of course, no problem.” Kakashi nodded.

"That's good." After saying that, Uchiha Touhuan walked towards the center of the town on his own.

The others hesitated for a moment, especially the two civilian ninjas. However, seeing that Kakashi followed Uchiha Touhuan without hesitation, the others followed as well, leaving Utatane and Mitokado Hayato standing there.

Uchiha Touhuan led everyone to the most luxurious hot spring hotel in the city. After booking a suite for each person, he suggested that they find a place to have a couple of drinks, which everyone readily agreed to.

Everyone thought that Uchiha Touhuan would at most treat them to a barbecue restaurant in the city, but to their surprise, Uchiha Touhuan took them directly to the most luxurious restaurant in the city.

It should be noted that the customers of this kind of shop are mostly nobles and wealthy merchants from the Land of Fire. Among the crowd, even Inuzuka Kaze, who has a not low status in the Inuzuka clan, has never been to such a place to spend money. As for the two commoner ninjas, although they are already Jonin, they live a very frugal life because they need to save money to exchange for ninjutsu. They don't even dare to think about such a place.

Therefore, everyone was naturally a little reserved after taking their seats.

At that moment, Uchiha Touhuan, who was sitting in the main seat, was the first to raise his glass.

"Thank you all for giving me face. Now that you're here, please relax. The Uchiha clan has always been generous to its friends," Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile.

"That's true!" Inuzuka Kaze laughed and downed his drink in one gulp. "I accept you as a friend!"

After everyone had a drink, Kakashi finally spoke up: "Speaking of which, Touhuan, you're not an adult yet, are you? It's not good to break the three ninja prohibitions so early."

"People who are always clutching those erotic books don't seem to have the right to say that," Uchiha Touhuan said irritably.

Upon seeing this, everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere at the table became lively.

I need to adjust my sleep schedule, so the update is a bit late.

Also, please read the new book during its initial release period!

Chapter 25 Do you believe the name?

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they left the restaurant, surrounded by their friends and entourage.

"It's such a long night, why don't we go to Kabukicho and have a couple more drinks?" suggested Uchiha Touhuan, who was surrounded by everyone.

"Since Chief Dou Huan has spoken, I have no choice but to risk my life to accompany you!" Inuzuka Kaze laughed, already slightly tipsy.

The group, now relaxed by the alcohol, burst into laughter upon hearing this. Even Hinata Keito and Hinata Ken, who had previously been serious, wore slightly lewd smiles.

"Chief Dou Huan! There are girls in the team!" said Mao Yue Xi Yan with a hint of annoyance.

"Oh, I didn't think that through!" Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile. After speaking, he took out a wad of banknotes from the sealing scroll and roughly stuffed them into Gekko Hayate's arms. "Hayate, why don't you take your little girlfriend and have some fun in town!"

"That's right, just remember to come back early tonight," Kuroki Ryuta teased.

The laughter of the crowd made the young couple blush, but Gekko Hayate still accepted Uchiha Touhuan's money, said goodbye to the others, and went shopping with Uzuki Yugao.

As for the others, they headed towards Kabukicho.

After everyone had gone far away, Uchiha Touhuan's true form slowly emerged from the shadows of the street and walked in another direction.

……

Inside the lord's mansion in Tanzaku Town, in the region where the largest gambling den in the Land of Fire is located, the lord of this place is naturally no ordinary person.

Aside from the noble title officially granted by the Land of Fire, Yamamoto Taro's castle lord's mansion also housed hundreds of samurai and more than ten ninjas. In addition, his interactions with some ninja clans in Konoha Village made Yamamoto Taro's position as castle lord as secure as a mountain.

After the evening's banquet ended, Yamamoto Taro, with a lewd grin on his face and an arm around a curvaceous young woman, drunkenly walked into his bedroom.

"Tonight will surely be a pleasant night." Yamamoto Taro chuckled. However, as soon as he looked up, before he could even turn on the light, he discovered that a person was sitting on the sofa by the window in his luxurious bedroom. The moonlight shone through the window, illuminating the person and the kunai that was being repeatedly wiped in his hand, reflecting a terrifyingly cold light.

The woman in Yamamoto Taro's arms instinctively wanted to scream, but a red glint flashed in the eyes of the man by the window, and the woman in Yamamoto Taro's arms instantly collapsed powerlessly.

Yamamoto Taro sobered up instantly. Whoever appeared in his bedroom at this time, holding a sharp weapon, seemed to have ill intentions.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Yamamoto Taro had seen his share of storms, and although he was covered in cold sweat, he maintained his composure and kept backing away.

"I suggest you don't back up any further, or that thing behind you on the right will explode," the newcomer said sarcastically. "I'm not sure if you'll die, but you'll definitely fly away."

Taro Yamamoto abruptly stopped and looked back. He saw an explosive tag stuck to his right rear, and the trigger was now only a few centimeters away from his right foot.

Taro Yamamoto swallowed hard. Despite his high position, he had never faced death so closely before.

"Sir, let's talk this out. Do you want money or..." Yamamoto Taro stopped in his tracks, but his hands continued to move. He planned to make some noise in the bedroom. As long as the guards in the city lord's mansion reacted, the samurai and ninjas he had paid a lot of money to raise could tear the intruder to shreds in an instant!

The person by the window seemed oblivious, smiling as they watched Yamamoto Taro slowly move forward until he knocked over a large flowerpot by the door, the sound of shattering porcelain echoing throughout the room.

However, the guards from the lord's mansion that Yamamoto Taro was expecting did not appear for a long time. At this moment, the person by the window spoke.

"Are you waiting for the samurai and ninja in this mansion?" The person by the window slowly got up and walked slowly towards Yamamoto Taro. His footsteps were very light, but in Yamamoto Taro's ears, they were not as light as the footsteps of death.

"Two Jonin from the Shimura clan, twelve wandering ninjas, and 271 samurai—it took a bit of effort to deal with them." The newcomer approached Yamamoto Taro and reached out to turn on the room's light. A handsome face gradually came into focus in Yamamoto Taro's eyes, and the three tomoe swirling in his blood-red eyes startled Yamamoto Taro.

"The Uchiha clan?"

"Good insight." Uchiha Touhuan patted Yamamoto Taro's chubby face with the side of his kunai.

"As a ninja of Konoha, your actions are probably against the rules." After seeing the Sharingan, Yamamoto Taro calmed down considerably. For the Uchiha clan, a ninja clan of Konoha, to attack a nobleman like him with a title from the Land of Fire was a capital offense.

"Rules?" Uchiha Touhuan chuckled. "Then let's talk about rules."

"Over the course of four years, Mr. Yamamoto provided as much as 1.8 billion ryo to Shimura Danzo, a traitor to Konoha, and his criminal gang on several occasions, attempting to help Shimura Danzo control the military power of the Land of Fire. What do you think the Daimyo would do if he knew about this?"

Uchiha Touhuan spoke with a half-smile, while Yamamoto Taro's pupils suddenly dilated.

"Sir, you can't speak carelessly. I just want to find some guards," Yamamoto Taro hurriedly clarified. It was indeed true. He had spent a lot of money hiring ninjas from the Shimura clan precisely because they were strong and could help him with some dirty work. He had never considered the other party's intention to control Konoha.

"Just guards? We'll see if the Daimyo believes it or not," Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile.

"What exactly do you want?" Yamamoto Taro asked, taking a deep breath.

“Personally, I believe in Lord Yamamoto’s loyalty to the daimyo. However, you should know that our daimyo is rather suspicious.” Uchiha Touhuan’s kunai fluttered in his hand like butterflies. “So? Still want to talk about rules?”

"Please keep this a secret for me, and I will reward you handsomely afterward." The sharp edge of the kunai grazed Yamamoto Taro's nose several times, directly shattering his mental defenses. He immediately knelt down and said this.

"What kind of person do you take me for?" Uchiha Touhuan asked, his face showing displeasure.

"Yes, yes, I deserve to die, but please, sir, have mercy and spare my life." With his life in someone else's hands, Yamamoto Taro could no longer hold back and immediately kowtowed to Uchiha Touhuan.

After watching him kowtow for a while, Uchiha Touhuan slowly spoke: "I see that your Tanabata Street business is doing quite well. How much revenue do you make each month?"

Chapter 26 Kakashi's Inquiry

"We're doing all legal business here, we don't make a lot of money, maybe around 70 to 80 million yen a month," Yamamoto Taro replied with a forced smile after hearing Uchiha Touhuan's words.

His response was a kunai that instantly embedded itself in the gap between his legs.

"Including income from lending and other sources, it's about 4 million taels a month when business is good." Yamamoto Taro, who was still thinking of playing some tricks, immediately became honest and said quickly, afraid that the next kunai would be aimed directly at his head.

"Your business is quite large, isn't it, Lord Yamamoto?" Uchiha Touhuan pulled out a new kunai and gently lifted Yamamoto Taro's chin, which was covered in three layers of fat, with the tip.

"Our Uchiha clan has recently accumulated some surplus funds and would like to invest in Lord Yamamoto's business. What does Lord Yamamoto think?"

"It is my honor that the Uchiha clan can invest in my business. Sir, how much do you intend to invest?" Yamamoto Taro said with a smile.

"Dedication?" Uchiha Touhuan chuckled, his kunai suddenly stabbing towards Yamamoto Taro's feet. "Is this the dedication of the Uchiha? Is it enough?"

"Enough! Enough!" Yamamoto Taro nodded hastily.

"The Uchiha clan wants 70% of all the income."

"Oh no..."

"Ok?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Yamamoto Taichi nodded vigorously.

"Don't make that face. Our Uchiha clan is far stronger than Shimura. As a bodyguard, you're definitely worth more than your money." Uchiha Touhuan smiled as he helped Yamamoto Taichi up.

"Yes...I understand...Then, sir, what about Daimyo?"

"Lord Yamamoto, facing the threat of the rogue ninja Shimura Danzo who intended a military coup, you understood the greater good, remembered the daimyo's kindness, and joined forces with the Uchiha clan to thwart Shimura Danzo's conspiracy. What do you think?" Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, that’s exactly right! I knew the Shimura clan had long harbored rebellious intentions!” Yamamoto Taro hurriedly said.

"Then, sign and put your fingerprints on this." Uchiha Touhuan took out a piece of paper from the sealing scroll and placed it in front of Yamamoto Taro.
