The Fifth Leaf Village

After Kakashi left, Uchiha Douhuan also came to the window with a twinkling look in his eyes.

After helping White Fang clear his grievances, with the double BUFF of being the son of a hero and a disciple of Hokage, Kakashi 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 grievances will be his most steadfast allies, and that time will also be the moment when the Uchiha clan officially comes to the fore.

Chapter 15 Consultant Visits

On the second day, Uchiha Douhuan went to the interrogation room of the security team early in the morning.

"Master clan leader." When the clan members in the interrogation room saw Uchiha Douhuan coming, they all nodded and saluted.

"How did the interrogation of those three yesterday go?" Uchiha Douhuan asked.

"Ah?" Uchiha Zaito, who was in charge of interrogating them, was stunned when he heard this. It seemed like you, brother, didn't tell me what to interrogate yesterday.

Uchiha Douhuan was speechless. He looked at the three high-ranking members of the Shimura clan who were tied to the interrogation rack and beaten beyond recognition. It could be said that all of this was a personal grudge.

"I'm sorry, my clansmen are so enthusiastic about coming to help that I can't stop them." Uchiha Zaito smiled awkwardly.

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

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

"Tell me, how much do you know about Shimura Danzo's crimes?" Uchiha Douhuan faced the gazes of the three people who seemed to want to skin him alive.

"You Uchiha clan are born evil, Lord Hokage will not let you go." The oldest of the three, and the Shimura clan member who was most closely involved with Danzo, spat out a mouthful of blood foam and said viciously.

Before Uchiha Douhuan could speak, an Uchiha beside him immediately hit him on the mouth with a stick.

"Uncle Tobishima?" Uchiha Douhuan looked up at the clan member who had made the move. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, an elite jonin in the clan. "I remember Team 4 is on vacation today."

"I just came to help because the clan members in the interrogation department are too busy." Uchiha Tobishima said with a smile. His second son died while performing a mission on the battlefield of the Third Ninja World War. Ninjas should not care much about life and death. However, out of the original team of nine people, only two clan members of the Shimura clan came back alive. Uchiha Tobishima could not give it much thought. Now, a ninja from the Shimura clan finally fell into their hands. Naturally, clan members who had similar experiences as him would not be polite. Uchiha Tobishima waited in line all night before it was his turn.

When Uchiha Tobijima was beating up Shimura Reito, Uchiha Dohuan turned around and looked at another person.

"Shimura Arashi, we have evidence showing that you secretly allied with ninjas from the enemy country on the battlefield of Water Country, resulting in the siege of one Jonin, two Chunins, and three civilian ninjas from the Uchiha clan. Afterwards, you also took away six pairs of Sharingan from our clan and presented them as tribute to the rebel ninja Shimura Danzo. Do you have anything to say about this?" Uchiha Dohuan asked slowly, supporting his head on the armrest of the chair.

"Uchiha Dohuan! You are slandering me!" Shimura Arashi said angrily.

"Be quiet!" Shimura Arashi soon had to shut up.

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

"What do you want to say? I have never been to the battlefield!"

"As a ninja, is it glorious to have never been on the battlefield? Your story has nothing to do with the Third Shinobi World War. We just 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 due to humiliation. At the same time, you also participated in the silencing of Kishida Keisuke, who knew about this matter. Am I right?" Uchiha Dohuan said.

"You...you are slandering me! I have never done those things." A trace of panic flashed in Shimura Yusuke's eyes, which naturally did not escape Uchiha Dohuan's eyes.

Uchiha Douhuan sat up straight with great interest. He didn't expect that he could actually catch a relevant person by randomly naming a person according to the Shimura clan's genealogy.

"There's an old saying that goes, 'He who knows the times is a hero.' The various torture instruments we have now are surely able to pry open your mouth. I hope you can cooperate with us." Uchiha Douhuan said in a cold voice.

At this time, a clan member opened the door of the interrogation room, walked quickly to Uchiha Douhuan, leaned over and said in Uchiha Douhuan's ear:

"Clan leader, the Shimura clan leader and two Hokage advisors have arrived, demanding we hand over the three of them."

"Uchiha Dohuan, if you know what's good for you, let us go immediately, otherwise the village will not let you go!" The ninjas have very good hearing. Although the tribesmen who came to report deliberately lowered their voices, at such a close distance, Shimura Reto still heard what the two said and immediately said arrogantly.

"You're so noisy, Uncle Tojima. Don't force yourself now that you're old." Uchiha Dohuan scratched his ears and teased Uchiha Tojima.

"Hmph, stop looking down on me, kid. For a guy like this, even if I'm eighty years old, I won't have any difficulty beating him up." Uchiha Tobishima said, and he couldn't help but increase the force of the baton in his hand, causing Shimura Reto to scream in pain.

"Uncle Feidao, be careful, don't get killed." Uchiha Douhuan reminded loudly before leaving.

After saying that, Uchiha Douhuan slowly walked towards the gate of the security department.

At this time, Shimura Hiroshi, Mitomon En and Utane Koharu were blocking the gate of the security department, and behind them were a large group of Shimura clan ninjas.

"Two advisors, you must help the Shimura clan!" Shimura Hiroshi cried to Mitomon En and Utane Koharu, "Danzo-sama devoted his entire life to the village, and after his death, his clan members were treated like this. This is clearly revenge from the Uchiha clan."

"Don't worry, the village will definitely give you an explanation." Utane Koharu comforted Shimura Hiromichi.

Just at this moment, Uchiha Dohuan and Uchiha Fugaku walked out of the security department together.

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

"I've been busy with official duties and have neglected my two consultants," said Uchiha Fugaku.

"Uchiha Touhan, you came at the right time. Let Shimura Reito and the other two go. They are really causing trouble!" When Uchiha Touhan arrived, Koharu Utane started to attack immediately.

"Release them?" Uchiha Douhuan chuckled. "I'm afraid that's impossible. The three of them are all implicated in the crimes committed by the traitor Danzo Shimura. They're suspected of betraying information about fellow ninjas and killing them, among other acts of treason."

"You are slandering me! Blatant slander!" Shimura Hiroshi changed his cowardly attitude from yesterday and accused Uchiha Dohuan righteously.

Yesterday in his own clan territory, he did not dare to fight with Uchiha Douhuan Zhaci, but now he was in a new place and with the two advisors by his side, so he not only dared, but was also very brave.

Chapter 16 Four Asumas

"Whether it's defamation or not, neither you nor I can decide. Evidence is the final word." Uchiha Douhuan's expression also turned cold. "By the way, you've come at the perfect time. According to your accomplice Shimura Reito, you were also involved in Shimura Danzo's plan to steal the bloodline of a fellow ninja. Security Department, arrest the suspect Shimura Hiroshi!"

As soon as Uchiha Dohuan finished speaking, several Uchiha clan ninjas rushed out from the security department behind him, intending to capture Shimura Hiroshi on the spot.

"Uchiha Touhan!" Utane Koharu was used to being in a high position. Seeing that Uchiha Touhan did not give her any face and wanted to arrest people in front of her, she immediately shouted loudly.

"I'm listening." Uchiha Douhuan raised his head and looked down at the other party from the stairs of the security department.

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

"Good question!" Uchiha Dohuan shouted, and drew the long sword from his waist. Two blade beams flashing with lightning passed by the two consultants and landed at the feet of Shimura Hiroshi. The explosion caused by the lightning chakra forced back the Shimura clan ninjas who wanted to move forward from behind, and also blew Shimura Hiroshi to the ground. Afterwards, the Uchiha security members rushed forward and controlled him in the blink of an eye.

"You asked me who gave me the authority to arrest people, and I'll tell you," Uchiha Douhuan slowly walked down the stairs and came to the two advisors, "That night, faced with the facts of Shimura Danzo's crime, it was the Sandaime Hokage who gave the matter full authority to the Uchiha clan to investigate. 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 gangs like Shimura Danzo who would harm their fellow villagers for their own selfish interests! Is that reason enough?"

Uchiha Douhuan came before Utatane Koharu, bowed in the direction of Hokage Rock, and stared at him: "If Utatane Counselor feels that this is not enough, then is the oath made by the first Hokage when the village was first established, to protect every comrade in the village, enough?"

"Today, I'm not trying to capture him. It's the 11,000 ninjas and 85,000 civilians of Konohagakure in the Land of Fire who can't tolerate such a cancer!"

"Uchiha Touhan, you!" Mito Menen, who was standing by, saw this and wanted to say something, but since Uchiha Touhan had brought up the first generation, what else could he say?

It has been two days since the Security Department posted a notice to recruit civilian ninjas. At this moment, there are many ninjas who come to apply with the mentality of giving it a try. This scene has also attracted many civilian ninjas to stop and watch.

"It turns out that the Uchiha clan also has a sense of justice. It seems that the rumors in the village are not credible." These civilian ninjas gathered together and whispered to each other.

"The Shimura clan deserves it. They've always been so arrogant in the village, relying on their clan's power. They didn't expect to hit a wall."

The Shimura clan's reputation in the village is not much better than that of the Uchiha clan. Seeing them suffer a disaster, these civilians naturally gloat over it.

"The two advisors, you've come here with such a large force, are you trying to hide something?" Uchiha Douhuan looked at the two advisors with a scrutinizing look, his eyes narrowed slightly. "I heard that the two advisors have a close relationship with Danzo."

"Shut up, Uchiha Douhuan, don't speak nonsense!" Mitomon Yan said angrily, "I will report today's events truthfully to the Hokage."

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

"Why are you two consultants still staying here? Do you want us to send you back?" Uchiha Fugaku said at this time.

"Hmph." The two consultants who failed to get a good deal, now faced with the strange looks of the civilian ninjas around them, could only snort coldly and walk away.

After Shimura Hiroshi was taken into the interrogation room, the three original members of the Shimura clan all looked horrified. They originally thought that the clan leader and two advisors came to rescue them, but they ended up being trapped.

"Give our clan leader Shimura a proper greeting." Uchiha Douhuan threw Shimura Hiro into the interrogation room like a dead dog and ordered, "Be careful not to get blood on your hands, or you might offend the spirits of our clan elders during the funeral tonight."

"Yes!" The tribesmen in the security department responded in unison.

After arranging everything, Uchiha Dohan left the guard team. In order to escort the Sharingan that were humiliated at the hands of Shimura Danzo back to the family shrine, the Uchiha clan also held a family funeral of moderate size.

"Chief, except for the Shimura, Mito clan, and Tsunetsugu clan, all other clans have sent funeral gifts." After Uchiha Touhuan arrived at the clan shrine, Uchiha Inahori hurried over and reported to Uchiha Touhuan.

"I understand. Let's ask Elder Fugaku to come over." Uchiha Douhuan said.

"I understand." Uchiha Inahori nodded and left.

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

Uchiha Dohuan arrived at the area where the Yamanaka clan's funeral was held, but he did not act in a hurry. Instead, he waited until Uchiha Fugaku arrived before he started to dismantle the things.

The top layer of the funeral was just some ordinary things. After turning over the top layer, all you could see was shining gold and two land deeds to the village.

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

Uchiha Douhuan nodded, stepped forward and carefully counted them, frowning slightly: "This is not enough."

As he spoke, Uchiha Douhuan frowned and opened the funeral ceremonies of the Akimichi clan and the Nara clan one by one. The circumstances of these funerals were the same as those of the Yamanaka clan.

"This is a warning to us." Uchiha Douhuan sneered and counted the value of all the things. The value of the things sent by the three clans was no more and no less than 140 million taels, four Asuma. This was the protection fee paid by the Yamanaka clan to the Uchiha clan in the matter of Danzo.

However, the meaning of these three tribes sending gifts together is very clear. It is a warning to the Uchiha clan. As long as the three tribes advance and retreat together, they will not be afraid of the Uchiha clan.

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

"It doesn't matter. The three tribes themselves are not worth winning over. It's already a surprise that we can get money." Uchiha Douhuan was not annoyed. The Ino, Shika, and Chou tribes had a close relationship with the Sarutobi clan since the Warring States Period. Each generation of Ino, Shika, and Chou took the earring oath under the witness of the current patriarch of the Sarutobi clan. Therefore, Uchiha Douhuan never expected to win them over.

Chapter 17 Arrangements for Yamato

That night, in the Uchiha clan's shrine, as the priest recited a long prayer, the nine Sharingan taken from Danzo's arms were sent into the shrine under the gaze of all the clan members present.

After the ceremony, the tribesmen gradually dispersed, and Uchiha Douhuan went to the interrogation room again.

After being tortured for a whole day, Shimura Reito and the other two had run out of strength. However, the newcomer Shimura Hiroshi kept cursing after seeing Uchiha Dohuan.

Uchiha Douhuan scratched his ears and pretended not to hear.

Seeing this, the Uchiha Chunin who was in charge of interrogating him increased the force of the baton in his hand.

Uchiha Dohuan went straight to the cell where the Wood Release ninja who had not yet been named Yamato by the Third Hokage was imprisoned.

Since it has been decided to hand this guy over to Kakashi as a credit to him, Uchiha Dohuan will not make things difficult for him anymore. Except for beating him up on the first day, he will be kept in solitary confinement for the rest of the time.

Of course, at this moment he still had the sealing technique cast by Uchiha Dohuan himself. After all, he was also a Wood Release ninja. Although he was far inferior to the first generation, if no measures were taken, the ordinary Chunin in the interrogation room would not be able to do anything to him.

In the corner of the cell, Yamato, still known as Jia, heard the noise and sat up suddenly.

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

Just as Jia was about to take action, the rattling chains and the severe pain in his body caused by the sealing technique reminded him of his current situation.

"Let's chat." Uchiha Douhuan pulled a chair and sat down in front of Jia.

"Humph, I won't say anything."

"By the way, how much salary did Danzo pay you? You are so loyal." Uchiha Douhuan laughed.

"We follow Lord Danzo for Konoha. How can it be measured by money?" Jia said righteously.

"Oh, so you mean you don't even have money, then why are you risking your life?" Uchiha Douhuan said with a smile.

"How can you, an Uchiha who is born evil, understand Lord Danzo's dedication to the village!" Jia's face was full of fanaticism, which made Uchiha Douhuan shake his head.

"You're talking about Yamanaka Feng and the others. At least they have a family as a weak point, so they were harmed like this by Danzo. Do you think it would be so bad for an orphan like you?" Uchiha Douhuan asked someone to bring in some food, and then handed it to Jia.

"Hmph." Jia sneered and stared at Uchiha Douhuan.

"Tell me how you acquired your Wood Release. Your crime isn't too serious. Although we've discovered that you were ordered by Danzo to assassinate the Sandaime-sama, the Sandaime-sama is eager to recruit talented people, so he won't pursue the matter. As for the rest, Kakashi pleaded for you. For his sake, I won't investigate too closely. So, as long as you explain everything clearly, you can still go out."

"I will never betray Lord Danzo!" Jia said gritting his teeth.

"It's not hard to guess, actually. It's Orochimaru, isn't it?" Uchiha Douhuan said. "Back then, the artificial Wood Release plan was no secret to us ninjas. The idiots of the Senju clan were fooled by it, and the once powerful clan of the Warring States period was reduced to a handful of powerful people now. In the end, due to the huge sacrifices and lack of results, the Sandaime-sama called it a halt."

"It's just that old Danzo refused to give up and has continued his research in secret. His partner is Orochimaru, and you are the only result of this project, right?" Uchiha Douhuan said.

Seeing Jia's incredulous look, Uchiha Douhuan chuckled and said, "Don't look at me like that. I'm not stupid. Children disappear from the village orphanage from time to time. This is all on record with the Security Department. It's just that the presence of that old man Danzo has prevented us from digging deeper. Moreover, the period before Orochimaru's defection was a peak period for missing orphans in the village. On the contrary, after his defection, the number dropped sharply. Considering your age, it's not difficult to infer this result."

Jia's eyes flickered, and Uchiha Douhuan struck while the iron was hot and continued, "So, why are you, an orphan who was captured and reformed, so loyal to Danzo? Your loyalty should be to Hokage-sama and the Will of Fire."

"There are only two paths before you now. One is to confess and live in the sun as a normal ninja from now on. The other is to continue to resist and be buried with Danzo who only regards you as a tool. The seal of eradicating the tongue on your body has lost its effect. Think about it carefully and don't waste the opportunity that Kakashi asked for you." After saying that, Uchiha Dohuan didn't say any more. After putting down the food and water, he got up and left the cell.

Uchiha Dohuan actually didn't have much hope of conquering Yamato. He was very self-aware and knew that he didn't have the good words like Naruto. If he wanted to conquer his subordinates, he had to rely more on direct benefits. Moreover, as early as the beginning, Uchiha Dohuan understood that Yamato was not something that the current Uchiha could keep. After all, he inherited the Wood Release of the first generation. He thought that when Sarutobi Hiruzen recovered, he would ask for it.

Therefore, Uchiha Douhuan simply regarded it as a contribution to Kakashi's promotion. Moreover, the purpose of Uchiha Douhuan saying so much was to make him think that he let him go for Kakashi's sake.

……

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen kept smoking, while the two consultants who had hit a snag with Uchiha Dohuan were staring at him silently.

"Huruzen, we can't let Uchiha Dohuan continue like this. He's clearly using the investigation as an opportunity to eliminate dissidents." Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen was still silent, Mitomon broke the silence, "He even dared to arrest the head of the Shimura clan. If he keeps this up, I'm afraid we'll have to go to the security department too."

"Dou Huan, he won't be like that." Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a while before raising his head and said. After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still afraid of Kotoamatsukami in Uchiha Dou Huan's hands. Moreover, it was less than three days since what happened at the village entrance that day. Most of the core ninjas in the village saw Danzo's shocking corpse clearly. If he forcibly ordered the Uchiha clan to stop the investigation now, everyone would inevitably think too much.

"Huruzen! Don't hesitate any longer. Have you forgotten what your teacher taught you?" Utane Koharu couldn't help but remind him.

"Okay, but we can't just stop the Uchiha investigation for no reason." Seeing that the other party brought up the Nidaime, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and could only give in. "Kakashi, go to the Uchiha clan and ask Uchiha Douhuan to come and report on the progress of the investigation tomorrow."
