Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 41: Oranges or Green Garlic (Part )

Since he has decided to accept Uchiha Sasuke as his disciple, Uchiha Douhuan will naturally teach him well.

Uchiha Dohuan chose Confucian classics as Sasuke's enlightenment books after careful consideration. First of all, Sasuke is not yet 7 years old this year, and his brother has a criminal record of thinking about all kinds of things since he was a child. Therefore, it is particularly important to establish a relatively simple moral concept first and let the child know which qualities are good and which are undesirable. In other words, it is to establish his face first.

And when Sasuke finds that this set of things is not enough to explain the world before him, he will naturally fall into confusion. That is when it is time to teach him the real things and fill the surface with substance.

In this era, the relationship between master and apprentice is no less than that between biological father and son. Since he has accepted Sasuke as his disciple, Sasuke will be qualified to inherit Uchiha Touhan's political resources in the future. Uchiha Touhan will naturally not train Sasuke to be a cynic who talks all kinds of nonsense.

After Sasuke left, Uchiha Douhuan also went out with Ji Lei.

Not long after, in the Aburame clan's territory, the current clan leader Aburame Shiwei also received information sent back by the reconnaissance bugs around the clan, and learned that Uchiha Dohuan was heading towards their clan's territory. For a moment, he felt like he was facing a great enemy and hurriedly summoned the clan's senior ninjas.

The Aburame clan's territory is even more remote than the area the Uchiha clan moved to after the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Uchiha Dohuan, with a Thunderbolt slung over his waist, walked slowly on a small road where there were no streetlights and which could only be vaguely seen in the moonlight.

The tiny chakra fluctuations in the surrounding bushes naturally could not be hidden from Uchiha Douhuan's eyes, but he didn't care much.

Not long after, Uchiha Douhuan arrived at the gate of the Aburame clan's territory and said warmly to the genin guarding the gate who was wearing the Aburame clan's signature sunglasses, "Please go in and announce that Uchiha Douhuan is here to visit."

"Yes, please wait a moment." The Genin guarding the clan gate nodded, then turned and entered the clan territory.

Uchiha Douhuan waited patiently, and soon, Aburame Zhiwei came to greet him personally with two senior ninjas from the clan.

"I'm sorry to have kept the Uchiha clan waiting for so long," Aburame Shiwei bowed as she left the room.

"There's no need to say that, Chief Aburame. I'm the one who's disturbing you by coming so late." Uchiha Douhuan said with a smile, "Also, Chief Aburame, there's no need to be so polite. Today, I'm just visiting you as a personal matter."

"Chief Dou Huan, please come in." Arusha Zhiwei extended her hand to invite.

After Uchiha Douhuan followed a few people into the Aburame clan's territory, he came to the reception room. He looked up and saw that the Aburame clan's situation in recent years was not very good. Even the reception room, which served as the family's facade, looked a bit simple.

"My clan is simple and cannot compare with the Uchiha clan. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Clan Leader Dou Huan." Aburame Zhiwei said.

After they sat down, Aburame Zhiwei waved to the maid to bring tea. After chatting for a while, Aburame Zhiwei asked, "I wonder what brings you here so late at night, Chief Dou Huan?"

"Chief Aburame, our security department has been entrusted by the Third Hokage to thoroughly investigate the village traitor Danzo Shimura and his criminal gang, and we have made a breakthrough recently." Uchiha Dohuan said, "However, Danzo Shimura has been a cancer in the village for many years, and his power is deeply intertwined. During the investigation, it is inevitable that some ninja clans in the village will be involved. Out of consideration for the current stability of the village, the Third Hokage has repeatedly asked our security department to be extremely cautious when dealing with this issue." Uchiha Dohuan said, "This is also the reason why I came here." When the business was mentioned, Aburame Shiwei's expression became solemn.

He just sighed and said helplessly: "Is it because of Ryoma? He was taken to the Root by Danzo when he was very young, and our clan lost contact with him afterwards."

"I understand." Uchiha Douhuan nodded. "Back then, Danzo Shimura used coercion to forcibly recruit talented ninjas from the village. We, the Uchiha clan, have also heard about this."

"I'm glad that Clan Leader Douhuan can understand." Aburame Zhiwei was slightly relieved after hearing what Uchiha Douhuan said.

"But..." Uchiha Douhuan changed the subject, making Aburame Shiwei's heart hang in the air again.

"Aburame Ryoma's position in the Root is quite high. Conservatively estimated, he's probably the second or third leader of the organization, second only to Danzo. Furthermore, according to the Security Department's investigation, he played a crucial role in the criminal activities planned and carried out by Shimura Danzo. Furthermore, he violently resisted arrest during the capture and attempted to destroy evidence of the Root's crimes. This is an even more serious offense."

"This..." Aburame Zhiwei's forehead was covered with cold sweat. After a long while, he continued, "We, the Aburame clan, are not aware of what Longma did. I hope that Clan Leader Dou Huan will understand."

"From the perspective of the ninja clan, I can completely understand Clan Leader Aburame." Uchiha Douhuan took the tea in front of him slowly, took a sip and said, "After all, who can guarantee that there won't be a few ungrateful people in their clan? What's more, Aburame Ryoma was taken away and brainwashed by an old man like Danzo who was born evil, which is why he ended up like this."

"But..." Uchiha Douhuan put down his teacup and looked directly at Aburame Shiwei, "It's useless for me to understand. The Aburame clan must make the village understand."

"What does Chief Dou Huan mean?" You Nu Zhiwei was a little confused.

"I think Chief Aburame should know what kind of personalities most of the villagers are like." Uchiha Douhuan took out a document and placed it in front of Aburame Zhiwei.

As soon as Yume Zhiwei picked up the document and took a look, the pupils of her eyes shrank under her sunglasses.

This document lists all the evidence of Ryoma Aburame's crimes in the Root, including but not limited to assisting Danzo in assassinating ninjas from his fellow village and kidnapping the children of the bloodline family.

Once this evidence is made public, the villagers of Konoha will not care about the inside story and will only blame the Aburame clan. As the head of a not-too-small ninja clan, he knows very well what kind of people the villagers are like. Even White Fang, who was once the most feared ninja in the world, was forced to commit suicide by public opinion in the village. Can their small Aburame clan withstand it?
"Chief Dou Huan, what should the Arusha clan do? Please give us your instructions," Arusha Zhiwei said.

"Chief Aburame, haven't I already said it? I personally believe in the innocence of the Aburame clan." Uchiha Douhuan chuckled, "But if you want the village to believe this, the Aburame clan must show their attitude."
