Naruto: Konoha Spring of the Uchiha Prodigies

After Kakashi left, Uchiha Touhuan also came to the window, his eyes gleaming.

After clearing White Fang's name, Kakashi, with the double buff of being the son of a hero and the disciple of the Hokage, will inevitably become the focus of the entire village. At that time, no matter what others think, the Uchiha clan, who helped him clear his father's name, will be his most steadfast ally. And that will be the moment when the Uchiha clan officially steps into the limelight.

Chapter 15 Consultant Visits

The next day, Uchiha Touhuan went to the police station's interrogation room early in the morning.

"Clan Chief." The clan members in the interrogation room nodded and bowed when they saw Uchiha Touhuan arrive.

"How's the interrogation of those three from yesterday going?" Uchiha Touhuan asked.

"Huh?" Uchiha Zaito, who was in charge of interrogating them, was taken aback. It seems that you didn't tell me to interrogate them anything yesterday, bro.

Uchiha Touhuan remained silent. Looking again at the three Shimura clan leaders who were tied to the interrogation rack and beaten beyond recognition, he realized that this was all a personal feud.

"I'm sorry, the clansmen were just too enthusiastic about helping, I couldn't stop them." Uchiha Zaito smiled awkwardly.

Uchiha Touhuan shook his head and said, "It's alright, I should have explained it more clearly."

After saying that, Uchiha Touhuan pulled up a chair and sat down not far from the three of them.

"Tell me, how much do you know about Shimura Danzo's crimes?" Uchiha Touhuan asked, facing the three men's eyes that seemed to want to skin him alive.

"The inherently evil Uchiha clan, the Hokage will not let you get away with this." The oldest of the three, and the Shimura clan member most deeply involved with Danzo, spat out a mouthful of blood and said viciously.

Before Uchiha Touhuan could even speak, one of the Uchiha next to him immediately slapped him across the mouth with a stick.

“Uncle Tobishima?” Uchiha Touhuan looked up at the clansman who had made the move. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, an elite Jonin of the clan. “I remember that the fourth squad was on holiday today, right?”

"I just came to help out because the clansmen in the interrogation department are too busy," Uchiha Tobishima said with a smile. His second son had died on a mission during the Third Shinobi World War. Shinobi should be indifferent to life and death, but of the nine-man squad that day, only two members of the Shimura clan returned alive. This left Uchiha Tobishima with no choice but to take it seriously. Now that a Shimura clan ninja had finally fallen into their hands, a clansman who had suffered a similar fate to him naturally wouldn't be polite. Uchiha Tobishima had been waiting in line all night for his turn.

While Uchiha Touhuan was beating up Shimura Retsuto, Uchiha Touhuan turned to look at another person.

"Shimura Arashi, we have evidence that you secretly colluded with enemy ninjas on the battlefield in the Land of Water, causing one Jonin, two Chunin, and three civilian ninjas from the Uchiha clan to be surrounded. Afterwards, you also took six pairs of Sharingan from our clan and offered them as tribute to the traitor Shimura Danzo. What do you have to say about this?" Uchiha Touhuan asked slowly, propping his head up on the armrest of his chair.

"Uchiha Touhuan! You're spouting nonsense!" Shimura Arashi shouted angrily.

"Behave yourself!" Shimura Arashi quickly had to shut his mouth.

"Shimura Yusuke." Uchiha Touken called out the last person's name.

"What are you trying to say? I've never been on a battlefield!"

"Is it glorious for a ninja to never have been on the battlefield? Your matter has nothing to do with the Third Shinobi World War. However, we found out that in the 44th year of Konoha, you spread rumors in the village, causing the former ANBU captain, Hatake Sakumo, to commit suicide because he could not bear the humiliation. At the same time, you also participated in the cover-up of Kishida Keisuke, who knew about this matter. Am I right?" Uchiha Touhuan said.

"You...you're slandering me! I've never done any of those things." A hint of panic flashed in Shimura Yusuke's eyes, which naturally did not escape Uchiha Touken's notice.

Uchiha Touhuan sat up straight with great interest. He hadn't expected that by randomly calling out names based on the Shimura clan's genealogy, he would actually find a relevant person.

"There's an old saying that goes, 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' These various instruments of torture should surely be able to pry open your mouth. I hope you'll cooperate with us," Uchiha Touhuan said coldly.

At that moment, a member of the clan opened the door to the interrogation room, quickly approached Uchiha Touhuan, and leaned down to whisper in his ear:

"Clan head, the Shimura clan head and two Hokage advisors have come to our door, demanding that we hand over the three of them."

"Uchiha Touhuan, if you know what's good for you, release us now, or the village will make your life miserable!" Ninjas have excellent hearing. Although the clansman who came to report had deliberately lowered his voice, Shimura Retsuto still heard what the two were saying at such close range, and immediately said arrogantly.

"It's so noisy, Uncle Tobishima. Don't push yourself too hard at your age," Uchiha Touhuan teased Uchiha Tobishima, picking at his ear.

"Hmph, don't underestimate me, kid. Even when I'm eighty, I could beat someone like this without breaking a sweat." Uchiha Tobishima said, increasing the force of his baton, causing Shimura Retsuto to scream in pain.

"Uncle Tobishima, be careful, don't kill him," Uchiha Touhuan called out before leaving.

After saying that, Uchiha Touhuan slowly walked towards the gate of the security headquarters.

At this moment, Shimura Hiroshi and Mitokado Homura Koharu were blocking the entrance to the security headquarters, followed by a large group of Shimura clan ninjas.

"You two advisors, you must stand up for the Shimura clan!" Shimura Hiro cried to Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu. "Lord Danzo devoted his life to the village, and after his death, his clansmen have been treated like this. This is clearly the Uchiha clan's revenge."

"Don't worry, the village will definitely give you an explanation," Koharu Utatane reassured Hiroshi Shimura.

Just then, Uchiha Touhuan and Uchiha Fugaku walked out of the security headquarters together.

"Oh, what brings you two advisors here?" Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile, then looked at Uchiha Fugaku beside him, "Captain Fugaku, this is your fault. How could you leave the two advisors standing at the door? You should at least invite them in for a cup of tea."

“I’ve been so busy with official duties that I’ve neglected my two advisors,” said Fugaku Uchiha.

"Uchiha Touhuan, you've come at the right time! Quickly release Shimura Retsuto and the other two! This is outrageous!" Utatane Koharu immediately launched an attack upon seeing Uchiha Touhuan arrive.

"Release them?" Uchiha Touhuan chuckled. "I'm afraid that's impossible. All three of them are inextricably linked to the crimes committed by the traitor Shimura Danzo. They are suspected of betraying the village's ninjas, harming their lives, and committing a series of acts of treason."

"This is slander! Utter slander!" Shimura Hiroshi, who had been meek yesterday, now righteously accused Uchiha Touhuan.

Yesterday, on his own clan's territory, he didn't dare to confront Uchiha Touhuan, but now that he's in a different place and his two advisors are with him, he not only dares to do so, but he's also very bold.

Seeking votes and continued reading during the new book release period.

Chapter 16 The Four Asma

"Whether it's slander or not, neither you nor I can say for sure; only evidence matters." Uchiha Touhuan's expression also turned cold. "By the way, you've come at the right time. According to your accomplice Shimura Retsuto, you were also involved in Shimura Danzo's theft of a fellow villager's bloodline limit. Security Department, apprehend the suspect, Shimura Hiroshi!"

No sooner had Uchiha Touhuan finished speaking than several Uchiha clan ninjas rushed out from the security department behind him, intending to capture Shimura Hiroshi on the spot.

"Uchiha Touhuan!" Koharu Utatane, used to her high position, immediately shouted angrily when she saw that Uchiha Touhuan showed her no respect and even tried to arrest someone in front of her.

“I’m listening.” Uchiha Touhuan raised his head and looked down at the other person from the steps of the security headquarters.

"How dare you do this? Who gave you the authority to arrest people?" Tsurugi Koharu questioned.

"Good question!" Uchiha Touhuan shouted, drawing his long sword. Two flashes of lightning grazed past the two advisors and landed at Shimura Hiroshi's feet. The explosion from the lightning chakra forced back the Shimura clan ninjas who wanted to step forward, and also knocked Shimura Hiroshi to the ground. Then, members of the Uchiha security team rushed forward and subdued him in the blink of an eye.

"You ask me who gave me the authority to arrest people? Well, I'll tell you," Uchiha Touhuan slowly walked down the steps and came to the two advisors' side. "That night, faced with Shimura Danzo's crimes, it was the Third Hokage who entrusted the Uchiha clan with the entire investigation. Is that reason enough?"

"When the Second Hokage established the Security Department and entrusted my Uchiha clan with this important task, it was to protect the village and eliminate a cancerous group like Danzo Shimura who would harm his fellow villagers for his own selfish gain! Is that reason enough?"

Uchiha Touhuan approached Koharu Utatane, bowed towards the Hokage Rock, and then stared at her intently: "If you, Advisor Utatane, feel that this is not enough, then is the vow made by the First Hokage at the beginning of the village's founding, to protect every comrade in the village, enough?"

"Today, it's not that I want to arrest him, but that the 11,000 ninjas and 85,000 civilians of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire cannot tolerate such a cancer!"

"Uchiha Touhuan, you!" Seeing this, Mitokado Homura wanted to say something, but since Uchiha Touhuan had already brought up the First Hokage, what could he say?

The security department had posted notices recruiting civilian ninjas for two days, and quite a few ninjas were coming to apply, hoping to give it a try. This scene also attracted many civilian ninjas to stop and watch.

"So the Uchiha clan also has a sense of justice. It seems the rumors in the village aren't entirely true." The civilian ninjas gathered together, exchanging whispers.

"The Shimura clan deserves it. They've always been arrogant in the village because of their clan's power. They never expected to run into a brick wall."

The Shimura clan's reputation in the village was not much better than that of the Uchiha clan, so the common people naturally gloated when they saw them suffer.

"As for the two advisors, why have you come with such a large entourage? Are you trying to cover something up?" Uchiha Touhuan looked at the two advisors with a scrutinizing gaze, his eyes narrowed slightly. "I've heard that the two advisors have a close relationship with Danzo."

"Shut up, Uchiha Tohkan! Don't spout nonsense!" Mitokado Homura roared. "I will report today's events to the Hokage truthfully."

"Go ahead!" Uchiha Touhuan snorted coldly, then turned and walked into the security department without looking back.

"What are you two advisors still doing here? Do you expect us to send you back?" Fugaku Uchiha asked.

"Hmph." Having failed to gain any favor, the two advisors could only snort coldly and leave in the face of the strange looks from the surrounding civilian ninjas.

After Shimura Hiroshi was dragged into the interrogation room, the three original members of the Shimura clan all looked terrified. They had thought that the clan leader and the two advisors had come to rescue them, but instead they had gotten themselves into trouble.

"Take good care of our clan head, Shimura." Uchiha Touhuan tossed Shimura Hiroshi into the interrogation room like a dead dog and ordered, "Be careful not to get any blood on him, lest he offend the spirits of our clan elders at the funeral tonight."

"Yes!" the clansmen in the guard unit replied in unison.

After arranging everything, Uchiha Touhuan left the security force. In order to escort the Sharingan that had been humiliated by Shimura Danzo back to the family shrine, the Uchiha clan also held a family funeral of moderate size.

"Clan leader, apart from the Shimura, Mitomon, and Utatane clans, all the other clans have sent funeral gifts." After Uchiha Touhuan arrived at the clan's shrine, Uchiha Inahisa rushed over to report to him.

"I understand. Go and invite Elder Fugaku over," said Uchiha Touhuan.

"Understood." Uchiha Inahika nodded and left to carry out the order.

Afterwards, Uchiha Tohkan went to the area where the funeral was being held.

Uchiha Touhuan arrived at the area where the Yamanaka clan's funeral was being held, but he didn't rush to take action. Instead, he waited for Uchiha Fugaku to arrive before starting to dismantle the structure.

The top layer of the funeral parlor contained only the most ordinary items, but upon opening it, one was greeted by gleaming gold and two village land deeds.

Fugaku Uchiha's eyes lit up as he looked at Touhuan Uchiha: "Is this the money you got?"

Uchiha Touhuan nodded, stepped forward and carefully counted the items, then frowned slightly: "This isn't enough."

As he spoke, Uchiha Touhuan frowned and opened the funeral notices for the Akimichi and Nara clans one by one. The details of these funerals were the same as those for the Yamanaka clan.

"This is a warning to us." Uchiha Touhuan sneered as he tallied up the value of everything. The total value of the items sent by the three clans was exactly 140 million ryo, or four Asuma. This was the protection fee paid by the Yamanaka clan to the Uchiha clan in connection with the Danzo incident.

However, the meaning behind the three clans sending the gift together was all too clear: to warn the Uchiha clan to stop here, and that they had no fear of the Uchiha clan as long as the three clans stood together.

"Hmph, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, huh?" Fugaku Uchiha sneered.

"It doesn't matter. The three clans themselves aren't very valuable to win over. It's already a pleasant surprise if we can get money from them." Uchiha Touhuan wasn't annoyed. The Ino-Shika-Cho clan has had a close relationship with the Sarutobi clan since the Warring States period. Each generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan swore an oath with earrings in the presence of the current Sarutobi clan leader. Therefore, Uchiha Touhuan never had any expectations of winning them over.

Chapter 17 Arrangements for Yamato

That night, inside the Uchiha clan's shrine, amidst the priest's lengthy prayers, the nine Sharingan eyes taken from Danzo's arm were sent into the shrine under the watchful eyes of all the clan members present.

After the ceremony, the clansmen gradually dispersed, and Uchiha Touhuan went to the interrogation room once again.

Having been tormented for a whole day, Shimura Retsuto and his two companions were already exhausted. However, the newly arrived Shimura Hiroshi kept cursing after seeing Uchiha Touhuan's figure.

Uchiha Touhuan picked at his ear, pretending not to hear.

Upon seeing this, the Uchiha Chunin in charge of interrogating him increased the force of his baton.

Uchiha Touhuan went straight to the cell where the Wood Release ninja, who had not yet been named Yamato by the Third Hokage, was being held.

Since it had been decided to hand this guy over to Kakashi as a merit, Uchiha Touhuan would no longer make things difficult for him. Apart from beating him up for a whole day on the first day, he was kept in solitary confinement for the rest of the time.

Of course, he still had the sealing technique personally placed on him by Uchiha Touhuan. After all, he was also a Wood Release ninja. Although he was far inferior to the First Hokage, if no measures were taken, the ordinary Chunin in the interrogation room really couldn't do anything to him.

In the corner of the cell, Yamato, whose name is still A, heard the noise and sat up abruptly.

Uchiha Touhuan entered the cell and turned on the light. The sudden change in light made Jia squint.

Just as A was about to take action, the clanging of the iron chains and the excruciating pain caused by the sealing technique reminded him of his current predicament.

"Let's talk." Uchiha Touhuan pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Jia.

"Hmph, I won't say anything."

"By the way, how much does Danzo pay you? You're so loyal," Uchiha Touhuan chuckled.
