The Uchiha Clan's Sun

However, because he was constantly on the move, Uchiha Jin was somewhat out of touch with the outside world.

This morning, Uchiha Jin only had time to exchange information with Uchiha Shisui, who had rushed back from the Daimyo's residence, about the progress of their respective operations. He hadn't had time to learn about the situation in the village yet.

"Lord Fugaku, this is your permit to enter the village."

"Okay, thank you for your help!"

After completing the personnel count, the village ninja finally finished the formalities and handed a document to Uchiha Fugaku.

"Everyone, let's call it a day! You can all go back and rest!"

These words were spoken by Fugaku Uchiha to the commoner ninjas.

Fugaku Uchiha is still the leader of this troop rotation unit, and no one can leave without his orders!

With Fugaku Uchiha's words finished, this troop rotation unit was effectively disbanded!

"I still need to go to the Hokage Building to report for duty. Shisui, you take everyone back to the clan territory first. The clan members should already be waiting!"

After most of the other civilian ninjas had left, Fugaku Uchiha looked at Shisui Uchiha and said something.

Uchiha Shisui looked at Uchiha Jin, and only after seeing Uchiha Jin nod did he nod and say, "Yes!"

"Then I'll be leaving now!" Uchiha Jin said goodbye to Uchiha Fugaku, and then couldn't help but remind him, "Remember, no matter what requests the Third Hokage and the others make to you, don't rush to agree!"

"Don't worry, I understand!"

Fugaku Uchiha nodded solemnly.

After exchanging a few more words with Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Jin broke away from the main group and headed towards the Konoha Orphanage on the edge of Konoha Village!

Chapter 78 Farewell to Danzo Shimura!

On the edge of Konoha Village, in a wide open field, three huge buildings that look like warehouses stand in a row, surrounded by fields planted with various vegetables and fruits.

"I never imagined that you, who were once known as the 'walking witch,' would end up as a babysitter for a bunch of kids. Nono, it's been a long time!"

At a stone table under a large tree, Danzo, the Dark Lord of the Ninja World, and Yakushi Nono, the director of the orphanage, sat facing each other.

Behind Shimura Danzo stood two cloaked figures whose faces were hidden in the darkness, while behind Yakushi Nonou stood the other two heads of the orphanage, Ken and Eika.

"I've already given up on that name!" Yakushi Nonou met Shimura Danzo's sinister gaze, suppressing her unease, and said, "We haven't applied for any more aid from the village, so what are you doing here now?"

If possible, Yakushi Nonou does not want to have too much contact with Shimura Danzo, or even to never speak to him again!

As a former Root intelligence agent, Yakushi Nonou knew all too well just how low Shimura Danzo's bottom line could go!

Wherever Danzo Shimura appears, nothing good ever comes of it!

"Heh, so you're acting all high and mighty now that you have the Uchiha clan's support!" Shimura Danzo glanced around calmly and said indifferently, "The Uchiha are really rich. Your orphanage is more than twice the size of what it used to be! And there are quite a few more children now!"

Upon hearing this, Yakushi Nonou frowned, unable to hold back any longer, and scolded, "Danzo, don't get any funny ideas! They're still just children!"

"I know! But the Root organization is desperately short-handed right now!" Shimura Danzo cut to the chase, revealing his true intentions: "I need you to come back and help me!"

"A great upheaval has recently occurred in Amegakure. I need you to infiltrate the upper echelons of Amegakure and investigate their every move!"

Upon hearing this, Yakushi Nonou's eyes flickered. She lowered her head slightly and, as she looked away, said, "You've got the wrong person. I'm no longer..."

"Why must the Dean be the one to undertake such a dangerous mission!" Before Yakushi Nonou could finish speaking, Megumi interrupted angrily, "Does Root have no one left?"

Danzo Shimura glanced at Eika and said calmly, "Only the 'Walking Priestess' is capable of handling this long-term mission! Right now, Root has no spy more skilled than her!"

“Mediocre people will only suffer a mental breakdown or defect in the face of battle, but she would never betray Konoha!”

After a pause, Shimura Danzo looked at Yakushi Nonou and said coldly, "Nonou, if you refuse, your orphanage will never receive any more funding!"

"You can't say that!" Huihua retorted angrily, "It's the Uchiha clan that's sponsoring us, not Konoha!"

Danzo Shimura ignored Eika and stared straight at Nono Yakushi, waiting for her response.

The cloaked figure standing to the left of Shimura Danzo spoke up at the opportune moment: "Your orphanage is developing quite well, but it seems to have absolutely no security measures!"

"I advise you to hire more bodyguards, lest the orphanage's money be stolen by thieves!"

The cloaked figure standing to the right of Shimura Danzo licked his lips with his long tongue and said, "By the way, be careful not to have your child stolen too!"

"After all, children with unknown identities still have some value!"

This is a blatant threat from Shimura Danzo and his group!

They want to use these children from the orphanage to force Pharmacist Nonou to submit!

"You're despicable!" Ah Jian was furious and couldn't help but question, "Are you even ninjas? How could you resort to such underhanded tactics!"

"You're the ones who're being unreasonable!" Shimura Danzo said without the slightest shame, "For the sake of Konoha, this price is nothing!"

Ken and Keika were so angry at Shimura Danzo's shameless behavior that they were speechless!

Since Shimura Danzo has already said that, what else can they say?

A struggle flashed in Yakushi Nonou's eyes; Shimura Danzo had really found her weakness!

"Slap, slap, slap, slap..."

Just then, a round of applause broke the dull atmosphere!

"ember!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Uchiha Jin had appeared several meters away at some point!

Ken and Huihua were overjoyed, and Yakushi Nono also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uchiha Jin..."

Danzo Shimura narrowed his one eye, his gaze quite sinister!

Meanwhile, the cloaked figure standing to the right of Shimura Danzo was observing Uchiha Jin with great interest.

"Looks like I came back just in time, otherwise I would have missed a good show!"

Uchiha Jin walked over and sat down next to Yakushi Nonou, his gaze sharp as a blade as he stared at Shimura Danzo!

"Uchiha Jin..." Shimura Danzo was very dissatisfied with Uchiha Jin, this sudden troublemaker, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do!"

“That’s the question I should be asking you!” Uchiha Jin retorted without backing down. “I am the honorary headmaster of this orphanage! Elder Danzo, what do you intend to do to my orphanage!”

"Honorary Dean?"

Danzo Shimura frowned slightly and looked at the cloaked figure to his left.

After a moment's thought, the cloaked figure hesitated before nodding.

When Uchiha Jin was negotiating with Yakushi Nonou to sponsor the orphanage, Yakushi Nonou did indeed give Uchiha Jin the title of honorary director in gratitude for his efforts.

Although Yakushi Nonou was only expressing her gratitude at the time, the honorary dean was still the dean, which gave Uchiha Jin a reason to get involved in the matter!

Uchiha Jin snorted coldly and continued, "I think I just heard that someone is going to steal money from the orphanage and steal children? The Konoha Police Department can't pretend they didn't hear that!"

"I only have one question now, Elder Danzo: were you serious about what you just said?"

As Uchiha Jin finished speaking, he revealed his crimson three-tomoe Sharingan, and a terrifying aura, like a blazing sun, erupted forth, overwhelming Shimura Danzo and the other two, causing the world to lose its color!

Sharingan - Conqueror's Haki!

Danzo Shimura's pupils contracted, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead!

The cloaked figure to the right of Danzo Shimura was still able to stand steadily in place, but the cloaked figure to the left behind him collapsed to the ground!

What a terrifying aura!

Danzo Shimura was horrified, sensing the murderous intent that King Uchiha had for him!

It seemed that if he admitted what he had just said, Uchiha Jin would kill him without hesitation!

Is this guy crazy?!

Chapter 79 Orochimaru!

Uchiha Jin did indeed have the idea of ​​taking action immediately as soon as Shimura Danzo nodded in agreement!

This is not a spur-of-the-moment decision!

The last time, Obito Uchiha's intervention allowed Danzo Shimura to escape by chance, which made Jin Uchiha regret it for a long time.

If Shimura Danzo acknowledges what he just said, then Uchiha Jin, as a member of the Konoha Police Department, will have a reason to take action!

Although this reason is somewhat far-fetched, once Shimura Danzo dies, his value will not be so great!

Then we'll pay some price and act more assertively, and we won't be afraid that Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others won't compromise!

After all, how much courage would Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was so eager for peace in Konoha, have to risk splitting the village and reigniting the war to stand up for a dead man?

As for why Uchiha Jin didn't act immediately...

Danzo Shimura and the Root ninja he brought were alright, but the cloaked figure standing to Danzo Shimura's right rear who said he wanted to capture the child was none other than Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin!

Uchiha Jin wasn't confident he could capture Orochimaru.

With Orochimaru as a witness, they naturally cannot act without reason!

"Ha, I didn't say anything, I was just offering a friendly reminder!"

Danzo Shimura let out a long breath and spoke in a deep voice.

Uchiha Jin sighed inwardly at the pity, but his momentum remained undiminished, instead intensifying as he said, "Then I'll kindly remind Elder Danzo here!"

"As the director of this orphanage, I have a responsibility to protect every child here!"

"If anyone dares to lay a hand on them, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

“Unless those rats hiding in the sewers never leave the village, I will kill ten rats for every child lost in this orphanage! If two children are lost, I will kill a hundred rats! If three children are lost, I will uproot all their rat burrows outside the village!”

"Don't doubt my ability to find those rats. I think you should know what Nonou is capable of!"

Yakushi Nonou was Root's best informant, and she knew Root's situation better than anyone else!

Furthermore, Yakushi Nonou has been busy lately, gathering intelligence for Uchiha Jin!

The information that Shimura Danzo led his Root ninjas to the Land of Rain was provided to Uchiha Jin by Yakushi Nonou!

"You're very good!" Shimura Danzo's face was ashen, his single eye fixed on Uchiha Jin, and he said in a deep voice, "The red sun of the Uchiha clan... I underestimated you before!"

“As people get older, their eyesight does indeed deteriorate,” Uchiha Jin said calmly, his aura subdued. “So I advise Elder Danzo that you shouldn’t go out and wander around aimlessly in the future! This time you only lost an arm and an eye, but next time it might be different!”

"you!"

Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo was so shocked that he stood up and looked at Uchiha Jin in disbelief!

Uchiha Jin's words were clearly pointed, but that was not something Shimura Danzo cared about.

While everyone could see that he had lost a hand, very few people knew that he had lost an eye!

Even Hanzo the Salamander, who attacked him, might not know!

After all, that Sharingan was always hidden under bandages, and it never showed up until he used Izanagi to destroy that eye!

How did Uchiha Jin find out about this?

Danzo Shimura glanced at Jin Uchiha and then at Nono Yakushi.

After returning to Root, he had a Root medical ninja remove his destroyed eye and replace it with a Sharingan for self-defense.

So, did Yakushi Nonou learn this information through some channels?

Danzo Shimura felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles, as if he had thorns in his back!

The feeling of being 'seen' made him, who was used to being in the dark, feel extremely uncomfortable!

Once you get back, you must thoroughly investigate the root cause!

Danzo Shimura had already stood up and had no intention of staying any longer. He met Uchiha Jin's ambiguous smile with a light snort and turned to leave!

Orochimaru shrugged, picked up the Root ninja who was slumped on the ground, and prepared to leave with Shimura Danzo!

"Lord Orochimaru, please wait!"

Just then, Uchiha Jin suddenly spoke up, trying to persuade Orochimaru to stay.

"Oh, is there anything else, Mr. Jin?"

Orochimaru stopped and looked at Uchiha Jin with great interest.

Uchiha Jin smiled and said, "I wonder if Lord Orochimaru has time to chat for a while? I promise I won't disappoint you!"
