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 advisors, having failed to secure a favorable response, could only snort coldly and walk away in a huff, facing the strange looks from the surrounding civilian ninjas. After Shimura Hiroshi was dragged into the interrogation room, the three original Shimura clan members all showed horror on their faces. They had originally thought the clan leader and the two advisors had come to rescue them, but instead, they had gotten themselves caught up in the act.

"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.
