The Fifth Leaf Village

A large amount of water mist emerged with Uchiha Douhuan as the center, and then condensed into drops of water, falling on the still burning papers on the ground. Green smoke floated out repeatedly, and Uchiha Douhuan picked up the half-burned documents one by one.

……

After a long time, Uchiha Inahib, who went to report to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the Anbu ninja sent by the Third Hokage finally arrived.

Although the leader was wearing an Anbu mask, his white hair allowed Uchiha Dohuan to easily identify the person's identity: the famous Konoha technician, Hatake Kakashi.

After Kakashi walked into the Root base, he saw the corpses all over the ground and couldn't help but frowned. It was not because of pity, but because these Root ninjas were still ninjas from the village after all. After Danzo's death, there was still a possibility that they would turn over a new leaf. But at this moment, they were all killed by Uchiha Dohan.

"Senior Kakashi, it's you who's here." Uchiha Dohuan greeted Kakashi with a smile. He was not surprised that the Third Hokage did not show up in person. After all, under the threat of Kotoamatsukami, this heroic ninja was probably not willing to meet Uchiha Dohuan face to face in person.

Kakashi under the mask did not respond, and Uchiha Douhuan was not annoyed, but continued to talk to himself.

"When I arrived here, these remnants of the Root were destroying the evidence left by Shimura Danzo. Fortunately, I arrived in time and preserved some of it." Uchiha Douhuan came to Kakashi's side and lowered his voice. "I found something special in these documents. I think you should be interested."

After saying that, Uchiha Douhuan took out a document that had been mostly burned and showed it in front of Kakashi.

The names above made Kakashi's pupils shrink. Hatake Sakumo, Kishida Keisuke, Arima Noriya, and the only ninja left was Toyama. But Kakashi immediately completed this name, Toyama Ryota.

These were the participants in the mission that changed his father's life.

And the three words "silenced" marked behind these names made Kakashi even more frightened.

"Well, since you're here, please help deal with the bodies here." Uchiha Douhuan put away the document, patted Kakashi on the shoulder, and then sighed: "What a pity, they are all ninjas from the village, but they were brainwashed by Danzo like this. I don't want to kill them either."

After saying that, Uchiha Douhuan walked out and signaled Uchiha Inahori to follow.

"Wait a minute!" Kakashi suddenly called out to Uchiha Dohuan who had already walked to the door of this office.

"What's up, Kakashi-senpai?" Uchiha Dohuan turned around with a warm smile on his face. "I still have to go back and sort out the remaining evidence and interrogate the captured Root remnants."

"Nothing... nothing." Kakashi Hatake hesitated for a while under the mask, and suppressed the urge to find Uchiha Dohuan to ask for clarification.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Please say hello to Hokage for me." Uchiha Douhuan said, turned around and left. After a while, as if he remembered something, he turned back and said, "By the way, Kakashi-senpai, if you have time, please come to the clan and sit down. Grandma Miori hasn't been in good health recently, and she's been thinking about you lately."

Chapter 10 The World Is Still the Same

Uchiha Douhuan left the Root without looking back.

When Kakashi heard the name said by Uchiha Douhuan, his heart was shocked.

[Obito's grandmother? Yeah, I've never even visited her in all these years out of guilt...]

[I still... what a failure. ]

"Captain..." Seeing Kakashi standing there in a daze, an Anbu ninja stepped forward and reminded him.

"I'm fine." Kakashi waved his hand after coming back to his senses. "Take care of this place, then go back and report to the Hokage."

……

After Uchiha Douhuan returned to the security department located in the Uchiha clan's territory, he went to the interrogation room immediately.

The Wood Release Ninja brought back yesterday has been interrogated for a whole day. In addition, Yamanaka Feng, who was just brought back today, has woken up not long after being brought back to the interrogation room. The two are now tied up tightly in the interrogation room with their chakras sealed.

However, the interrogation work did not go smoothly. After all, the two were ninjas, and ninjas from the root. The interrogation room prepared by the Security Department for the petty thieves in the village naturally seemed a bit stretched.

"Master clan leader." After Uchiha Douhuan walked into the interrogation room, several clan members in charge of the interrogation temporarily stopped their work and stepped forward to salute.

"How did the interrogation go?" Uchiha Douhuan asked.

"They are both very stubborn, especially the one from yesterday. We fought all night but he still refused to confess anything. We were just planning to ask the three-magatama Jonin in the clan who is proficient in illusion to help." The person in charge of the interrogation was just an ordinary Uchiha Chunin with only one magatama Sharingan. After all, he usually only used it to deal with thieves in the village. Such strength was naturally more than enough, but it was not enough when facing two powerful ninjas.

"No need to go through so much trouble, I'll do it myself." Uchiha Douhuan said, walked into the interrogation room and came in front of Yamanaka Feng.

Shan Zhongfeng, who was tied to a chair, had obviously suffered several beatings in the past period of time. When he saw Uchiha Douhuan coming, his face was immediately filled with hatred, and his eyes seemed to want to eat Uchiha Douhuan alive.

Uchiha Douhuan smiled slightly, looking at this unlucky guy who had been completely brainwashed by Danzo, then waved his hand, and the interrogators behind him came forward and started punching and kicking him again.

Even Uchiha Dohuan shook his head when watching this scene. There was a bit of personal grudge in it. After all, Danzo's root had conflicts with the Uchiha clan many times. Now that someone has finally fallen into their hands, they naturally have to deal with him well.

Seeing that the fight was almost over, Uchiha Douhuan slowly stood up and came to Shan Zhongfeng.

"I... won't say... anything." When Yamanaka Feng saw Uchiha Douhuan coming, he was gasping for breath after just being beaten, but still stared at Uchiha Douhuan with an unyielding look.

The midday sun poured in through the window of the interrogation room, making it difficult for Shan Zhongfeng to open his eyes. The face of Uchiha Douhuan in front of him was also a little blurry in his eyes.

"I visited your Root base and it was quite scary." Uchiha Douhuan said softly.

"You, the Root, want to help Danzo become Hokage? Do you want to get rid of the Uchiha?" Uchiha Douhuan reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of Yamanaka Feng's mouth.

"Go and take a look outside. Nothing has changed outside. The village is still the same." Uchiha Douhuan's face gradually became clear in the eyes of Shan Zhongfeng who was gradually getting used to the sunlight, but his words made Shan Zhongfeng shudder.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you confess or not. I didn't expect to get any information from you in the first place." After saying that, Uchiha Douhuan turned and looked at the clan member in charge of the interrogation. "Just keep an eye on him and don't let him die."

"Rice fire."

"Here!" Uchiha Inahib came to Uchiha Dohuan and saluted.

"Call the second team and follow me." Uchiha Douhuan ordered.

"I understand." Uchiha Inahiro nodded, "Clan leader, where are we going?"

"Of course, we are going to the Shimura clan to capture Shimura Danzo's accomplices." Uchiha Douhuan said.

"Just arrest him?" Uchiha Inahimi asked in disbelief, but there was a hint of excitement in his eyes. Normally in the village, the relationship between the Shimura clan's ninjas and their Uchiha clan could not be said to be good.

"How can you call it arresting someone?" Uchiha Douhuan laughed. "It's already proven that Shimura Danzo attacked a ninja from his own village and defiled the remains of the Shodaime. I just happened to find some evidence of the Shimura clan's interest in the Root's base."

As he spoke, Uchiha Douhuan took out a half-burned account book from the sealed scroll.

"So, we just asked them to come back for investigation."

Uchiha Douhuan's words made Yamanaka Feng, who was tied to the interrogation chair, widen his eyes. He clearly remembered that all the accounts of the Root should have been destroyed.

Uchiha Douhuan turned around at the right time to glance at Shanzhong Feng, and seeing the faint smile on the corner of Uchiha Douhuan's mouth, Shanzhong Feng understood why Uchiha Douhuan said that it didn't matter whether he confessed or not.

Yamanaka Feng struggled violently. He was about to yell, but the Uchiha member next to him punched him and covered his mouth.

He could only watch Uchiha Douhuan and his men leave.

Soon, the second squad of the security team, which had no mission at this point, was assembled.

Originally, everyone was somewhat resentful when they received the assembly notice during the break, but when they heard that they were going to cause trouble for the Shimura clan, all the good guys of the Uchiha clan became alert.

"Report to the clan leader, the second team of the security department has assembled!" In front of the door of the security department, the captain of the second team, Uchiha Yanyu reported.

Uchiha Douhuan nodded.

Uchiha Yanyu suddenly shouted: "Salute to the clan leader!"

The members of the second team saluted: "Loyalty! Sincerity!"

Uchiha Douhuan looked at this scene with both laughter and tears. Ever since he saluted Sarutobi Hiruzen on a whim yesterday, this etiquette has become popular in the clan.

"Chū! Makoto!" After returning the greeting, Uchiha Douhuan led his team towards the Shimura clan.

Such a big commotion naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of the village. Sarutobi Hiruzen was having a headache in the office at this time. He originally planned to incorporate the remaining Root in Danzo's hands, but early this morning he received the news that the entire Root was massacred by Uchiha Touhan.

At the same time, Uchiha Itachi, who came to work in the Anbu, told him everything that happened at the clan meeting yesterday.

After learning that Uchiha Dohuan had become the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply.

"The only good news is that Dohuan has suppressed the Uchiha clan's idea of violent rebellion, and recruiting civilian ninjas into the guard team, no matter what his purpose is, is generally a good thing." Sarutobi Hiruzen comforted himself.

Chapter 11 Calling one’s job title while working

"Hokage-sama, Uchiha Douhuan is heading towards the Shimura clan's territory with a team of security guards."

"What?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyelids twitched, but he couldn't figure out what Uchiha Dohuan was trying to do.

"Hokage-sama, let me go for a while, I will try to stop him." At this time, Uchiha Itachi, who was on duty today, suddenly walked out from the shadows, knelt on one knee and asked for permission.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Uchiha Itachi for a long time before he sighed and said, "It's up to you, Itachi. The village can no longer withstand internal strife."

Uchiha Itachi took the order and left, traveling at high speed between the houses of Konoha. It didn't take long before he arrived at the outskirts of the Shimura clan's territory. Uchiha Touhan and his group, who were traveling slowly, also arrived at this time.

At this moment, everything in the Zhicun tribe's territory was covered in mourning clothes, and funeral music could be heard from not far away.

Looking at the person who was blocking their group, although he was wearing a mask, all the ninjas in the village knew who the only minor in the Anbu was.

"Itachi, we are here to summon the suspects related to the Shimura clan back to the security department to cooperate with our investigation. Did Lord Hokage send you to assist us?" Uchiha Douhuan asked.

Seeing that his identity was revealed, Uchiha Itachi simply stopped pretending and took off his mask.

"Brother Douhuan, go back. The village can no longer withstand internal strife." Uchiha Itachi said.

"So, you're here to stop me?" Uchiha Douhuan's eyes turned cold. "Is it your own idea, or is it Hokage's idea?"

At this time, the purpose of Uchiha Douhuan deliberately leading his men to pass through the village slowly was also revealed. After all, with such a big scene, there would always be a few villagers who were curious and wanted to watch the excitement. Moreover, the location of the Shimura clan's land happened to be in a more prosperous area of the village. At this moment, there were already many villagers who came to watch the excitement surrounding the crowd.

"There is solid evidence that Danzo Shimura desecrated the remains of the First Hokage and attacked ninjas from the same village. The Shimura clan has a vested interest in him. We are just asking them to go back and be investigated, but now you stand up to stop us. What is your intention?" Uchiha Douhuan saw that most people had arrived, so he continued to speak.

"Brother Douhuan..." Uchiha Itachi felt a little uncomfortable facing the looks of the onlookers.

"When you're working, you call your job title!" Uchiha Douhuan interrupted Uchiha Itachi mercilessly, "If this is what Hokage-sama means, I'll turn around and leave right now."

Uchiha Itachi turned his head and looked at the crowd around him who were already stretching their necks twice as long. Could he say that this was what the Hokage meant?

What happened at the village entrance yesterday, after fermenting overnight, has already spread to every corner of the village.

"Clan leader..." Uchiha Itachi could only lower his head in the face of everyone's strange looks.

Uchiha Douhuan, on the other hand, led his men and walked straight past him.

Soon, the people of the Shimura clan also learned what happened at the gate of the clan territory. The current clan leader of the Shimura clan, Shimura Hiroshi, led his men into the Shimura clan territory and blocked Uchiha Touhan's way.

"I'm sorry, the Shimura clan is not convenient to see guests recently." Shimura Hiroshi, wearing a pure black kimono, said to Uchiha Dohuan with a cold face.

"Then we've come at an unfortunate time." Uchiha Douhuan nodded. "It looks like the Shimura clan is holding a funeral?"

"You, the Uchiha clan, still have the nerve to come here!" At this time, an emotional young ninja from the Shimura clan suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Uchiha Dohuan. The members of the security department behind Uchiha Dohuan were about to take action, but Uchiha Dohuan stretched out his hand to stop them.

The excited Shimura clan member was quickly dragged back by the Shimura clan ninjas around him.

"The younger generation in the clan don't know the rules, I'm sorry to embarrass you," said Hiroshi Shimura.

"I understand, I understand." Uchiha Douhuan said with a smile, "However, I am not here as a guest today."

Uchiha Douhuan put away his smile and said, "Please ask the Shimura clan leader to ask Shimura Reito, Shimura Arashi, Shimura Yusuke and others to go with us and assist in the investigation."

Behind Uchiha Touhan, the members of the security department who were already holding back their anger immediately prepared to step forward upon hearing this, and the Shimura clan ninjas present naturally would not remain indifferent.

"I'm afraid this is against the rules." Shimura Hiroshi whispered.

"I'm just cooperating with the investigation. After all, the account books found by the Security Department in the Root base show that the Shimura clan has deep interests with the Root. I personally believe in the innocence of the Shimura clan leader." Uchiha Douhuan said, taking out the almost burned account book from the sealed scroll he carried with him.

"Chief, what else is there to say? The Uchiha clan is ambitious and even Elder Danzo died at their hands. Let's avenge Elder Danzo!" The restrained ninja from the Shimura clan roared.

"It seems that the Shimura clan is really colluding with Shimura Danzo and wants to betray the village." Uchiha Douhuan's expression was cold, and the three magatama in his eyes turned into a mangekyo at this time.

Shimura Hiro wanted to explode, but when he saw the Mangekyō Sharingan flashing in Uchiha Douhuan's eyes, he could only suppress his inner impulse and said with strong anger: "Stop! I will let them go with you."

As Danzo's cousin, Shimura Hiroshi had personally witnessed the battle between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. He clearly understood the immense power of the Mangekyō Sharingan; otherwise, how could such a vast area as the Valley of the End have been created? And now, within the Shimura clan's territory, if Uchiha Toukan unleashed his full power, the final outcome was uncertain, but none of their members would escape.

At the same time, Uchiha Douhuan came with a righteous cause. Once a conflict breaks out between the two sides, they will really be unable to clear themselves even if they jump into the Nanhe River.

"Wouldn't it have been over if you had cooperated earlier?" Uchiha Douhuan chuckled and waved his hand to signal Uchiha Yanyu to take people to catch him.

"Chief!" The young people of the Shimura clan were immediately upset. They were used to bullying the villagers and could not stand this humiliation.

"Chief Shimura, please don't make things difficult for me." Uchiha Douhuan came in front of Shimura Hiroshi and whispered in his ear.

The corners of Shimura Hiroshi's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything more in the end. He could only come forward to signal the tribesmen not to get excited.

The arrest process did not last long. After all, the people that Uchiha Douhuan had named before were all here. After Uchiha Yanyu handcuffed them, he reported to Uchiha Douhuan.

"Chief Shimura, thank you for your cooperation." Seeing that the person was already in his possession, Uchiha Douhuan also relaxed. "However, I still have to advise you that holding a funeral for a village traitor at this juncture is probably a bit inappropriate."

Chapter 12 The Mountain Clan

"Don't worry about that, Uchiha clan leader." Shimura Hiroshi said gritting his teeth.

Having said this, Uchiha Douhuan took the three Shimura clan elders he had just captured and returned along the same route they came.

The three arrested Shimura clan members were all high-ranking members of the Shimura clan, otherwise they would not be responsible for liaising with Danzo. However, under Uchiha Dohuan's special arrangement, the team escorting the three people passed directly through the most prosperous commercial street area of Konoha Village. Soon, the news that Uchiha Dohuan led people to arrest people from the Shimura clan spread throughout the village.

After Uchiha Dohuan returned to the security team, he directly ordered the three people who had just been captured to be sent for interrogation. When they heard that they were interrogating people from the Shimura clan, many of the clan's best fighters became excited. It seemed that this night would not be easy for the three of them.

However, Uchiha Dohuan did not expect these people to confess anything. The Shimura clan, especially the Shimura clan that had a close relationship with Danzo, were all die-hards. Even if they were killed directly, they would not betray Danzo.

However, Uchiha Douhuan just wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkey. Now, the chicken has been slaughtered, it is time to go to the monkey and get something real.
