It's not enough to just understand how the Uchiha clan is perceived by ordinary people; we also need to investigate their status within the Konoha ninja community.

The Uchiha clan has not yet moved outside Konoha; they remain in a central location within the village.

However, due to the inherent problems within the Uchiha clan, they were severely alienated from the other ninjas of Konoha.

The Uchiha clan's emphasis on their own clan's principles clashed with Konoha's Will of Fire, making them extremely difficult to get along with in the eyes of many Konoha ninjas, who naturally held them in low regard.

The Konoha leadership adhered to an even more extreme policy against the Uchiha clan than the Second Hokage, leading to a continuous deterioration in relations between the two sides.

The Uchiha clan's frequent rituals of worshipping deities at the Naka Shrine were extremely offensive to the Konoha leadership.

Danzo felt extremely uncomfortable not being able to monitor the Uchiha's morning assembly; he was certain they were plotting to seize power!

Influenced by Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude towards the Uchiha clan also wavered.

The fact that Shisui was heavily relied upon in the original work, in an attempt to ease the conflict between the two sides, indicates that Hiruzen Sarutobi did not want to take the final step.

But Danzo still managed to mess things up.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's indulgence was one of the reasons why Danzo Shimura kept escalating his restrictions on the Uchiha clan.

Of course, firstly, he himself did not trust most of the Uchiha, believing that they were inherently evil.

Before Minato took office, the Anbu ninjas also had the task of monitoring the Uchiha clan.

Now that Minato has taken office, things will be a little better for the Uchiha clan. Their conflict with the village should ease somewhat, and at least they won't have to resort to a coup d'état every now and then.

It can be said that the Uchiha clan's arrogance and conservative clan mentality made it impossible for them to gain the favor of ordinary people and ninjas.

Konoha's long-standing policies have kept them out of the center of power and even made them extremely wary of them.

The Uchiha clan felt wronged and wanted to rebel, which made the Konoha higher-ups even more vigilant.

The common people and ordinary ninjas did not feel the Uchiha's friendliness, nor did they support them; they simply ignored the atmosphere of hostility towards them within the village.

This vicious cycle naturally made things increasingly difficult for the Uchiha clan.

When would be the best time for him to intervene?

How can we both avoid putting Madara and Izuna in a difficult position and change the Uchiha's attitude and xenophobic mindset?

Ideally, the entire Uchiha clan should be broken up and integrated into the group. Although this would dilute the bloodline, it would greatly reduce the probability of them developing mental illnesses.

Could Minato solve this problem for him?

"Brother Yuan?"

Kiyoi Gen ended his contemplation and looked up to see Yuhi Kurenai already standing in front of his desk.

At this moment, the other person's expression was somewhat cautious, as if they wanted to say something.

"So, are you planning to do something to the Uchiha?"

"Can you tell me? I want to help you."

"Am I also a member of Sunrise City?"

Kurenai's eyes darted away, as if she dared not look directly at Kiyoi Gen's face.

Kiyoshi Gen understood what the other person meant: did they want him to confess?

A member of Sunrise City

Indeed, loyalty is at its maximum.

"Kurenai, what if the future requires you to betray Konoha?"

Kurenai Yuhi seemed to have anticipated this situation.

She took a deep breath and answered.

"Brother Yuan, you wouldn't harm the people of Konoha, would you? If it's for a better future, I'm willing!"

Kiyoi Gen looked at the serious-looking Kurenai Yuhi, then glanced at Kazasa who was secretly observing him, and shook his head with a light laugh.

"Look how nervous you are."

"Don't worry, I won't make you make such a difficult choice."

"All preparations are complete; all that's left is to wait."

He looked at Kurenai and said with a smile.

"Hong, you should think about what kind of job you want to do in the future."

"By then, you'll probably find life boring."

Kurenai Yuhi's expression was complicated; in the end, she still couldn't help.

However, she seemed to know about Yuan-gege's goals and ideals.

Sooner or later, she will contribute her modest efforts.

"Okay, I still have to work. I'll continue reading."

"After I finish work, I can chat with you."

At this moment, Kiyoi Gen's expression froze for a moment, then he heard his sister Kiyoi Ai's [Star Alliance] voice transmission and laughed inwardly.

Danzo, you couldn't resist making a move after all.

The more you interfere, the further Minato and Kushina will drift away from the current Konoha.

Chapter 232 Danzo is a good helper

Let's go back three minutes.

Kushina Uzumaki and her party, traveling in a modified motorized carriage, had been on the road for a whole day.

At their speed, it would take their convoy exactly six days to travel between Konoha and Hatsumi Castle, allowing them to stay in the city for more than three weeks.

Seeing the mountain scenery along the way, Kushina's mood improved a lot.

Being able to travel has been a wish she's had for a long time.

It's a pity that Minato couldn't be with her, otherwise she would have been even happier.

"Sister Xiao Ai, what are some fun things to do in Chu Ri City?"

"There are many!"

Kiyoi Aina looked incredibly proud, as if she wanted to list a thousand good things about it.

Beside her, Mikoto covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Kushina is so energetic; she's asked this question so many times already.

However, when it comes to this, she really feels like she could talk about it for three days and three nights and still not finish. She wants to thank Brother Yuan for building such a city that makes people happy.

When that day comes, let's introduce the cats to Kushina and the others!

Kushina and the others were in the spacious carriage, while Kakashi, Obito, and Rin walked briskly around the carriage, keeping watch for any movement around them.

This caravan has about a hundred people and a long convoy, so they need to be vigilant.

Ok?

Lin felt something was strange; the ripple state seemed to have sensed something, but it wasn't very obvious.

Kakashi and Obito's expressions changed, and they both looked in the same direction.

Sakumo Hatake, who was sitting on the roof of the carriage carrying Kushina and the others, also noticed the commotion in the forest not far away.

'Is he a ninja skilled at concealing his presence?'

It has to be said that this Ripple Sensing is quite useful; most of the ninjutsu that conceal oneself can be seen through the Ripple.

In the forest, twenty-four ninjas dressed as members of the Root organization were ready.

They received Danzo's orders to capture the escaped Nine-Tails Jinchuriki during this mission.

As weapons of the village, they cannot easily leave the village!

In Danzo's view, the power of twenty-four Jonin was more than enough.

Even Jinchūriki would surrender obediently under the siege of Root's elite forces.

Inside the carriage, Kiyoi Ai and Uchiha Mikoto's expressions had changed, and Uzumaki Kushina only belatedly realized that an enemy was approaching.

"Wait, let me do it!"

Obito jumped out excitedly, his eyes now transformed into three-tomoe Sharingan.

During the three days of special training with Teacher Ban, he had no idea how much stronger he had become.

However, Kenpachi Zaraki on the roof of the carriage moved.

"jingle!"

At the ends of the pointed strands of hair, small yellow bells rang out with a clear, crisp sound.

Wearing a black undershirt and a white haori, Kenpachi Zaraki arrived in front of the twenty-four Root ninjas almost instantly.

So fast!

The leader, a Root ninja wearing a white mask and a red demonic face, immediately grabbed the short sword in his hand, but it was too late.

Clang!

The slash, a fusion of lightning and wind, slit his throat in the blink of an eye.

The swift yet silent strike exemplifies the secrets of fast, accurate, and steady swordsmanship.

After so many years of training, Hatake Sakumo has become accustomed to using a katana that is longer than a short sword.

Although he spends most of his time by his son's side, accompanying him in his training, he is also constantly improving his own skills.

Especially this ninja sword technique that combines the chakra nature transformations of lightning and wind.

Suddenly, the wind and thunder changed, and a terrifying flash occurred.

Draw the knife!

Just as the Root ninja was about to spit blood, Hatake Sakumo had already sheathed his katana.

Secret Blade: Dance of Chaos!

At the moment the blood gushed out, Hatake Sakumo instantly created twenty-three shadows, which rushed straight towards the people nearby.
