Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

"Alright." Upon hearing this, the stall vendor immediately bent down, instinctively ready to move his stall as instructed by Uchiha Jun.

He had just placed his hands on the stall when he suddenly paused, realizing what was happening, and said:

"Huh? Why should I listen to that person's orders? He's not from the security department."

As if hearing someone laughing at him, the stall owner quickly looked up, ready to have a good argument with Uchiha Jun, who was mocking him.

Then, he saw Uchiha Jun's face.

"You."

The street vendor suddenly felt that the person in front of him looked somewhat familiar.

Upon further reflection, his excellent memory immediately brought back memories of a time when the Security Department was still under the control of the Uchiha clan. For a period of time, whenever he tried to take up more space by extending his stall onto the sidewalk, a Uchiha boy wearing a Security Department armband would always come to cause him trouble with a sour face. No matter how he explained, the boy was unyielding and even fined him several times.

After the night of the massacre, no one cared about him occupying the sidewalk anymore.

Until now.

Hearing that somewhat familiar voice, and looking at the somewhat familiar adult face in front of him.

The stall vendor's pupils constricted sharply, and he stared intently at Uchiha Jun with a look of utter disbelief, saying:

"You...you're that Uchiha!!!"

"So you still remember me."

Uchiha Jun immediately recognized the guy in front of him as the one who had given him a lot of work during his previous tenure.

"Don't worry, I'm no longer a member of the Konoha Police Department."

Uchiha Jun patted the stall vendor on the shoulder and continued on his way.

This scene was witnessed by the other villagers of Konoha.

"They are real Uchiha! They are real Uchiha!"

"Someone just recognized me!"

"I knew it! See that Uchiha boy? He hasn't changed much since he was a kid. He used to come to my shop to eat all the time!"

"How could this be? Wasn't it said that the Uchiha clan was wiped out? How come so many have suddenly appeared!"

"Whatever the reason! Uchiha are also members of Konoha."

"One, two, three, four, fifteen people in total! If they are all Uchiha, then our Uchiha clan in Konoha can be re-established."

"Great! With the Uchiha, Konoha's military strength can be greatly enhanced."

"Is it too early to be happy? I have a feeling that there's something wrong with the atmosphere between the Uchiha ninjas and the village ninjas right now."

"."

Upon learning that the visitor was indeed a member of the Uchiha clan, the streets suddenly became bustling with activity. A large number of villagers who had heard the news rushed over, creating an incredibly lively atmosphere, much like a New Year celebration.

For the Uchiha clan members...

At first, they didn't take the change of route seriously.

However, they soon noticed that when the people from their former village saw them, they were first surprised, curious, and confused. Then, when they realized who they were, they were shocked, as if they had seen a ghost, and in disbelief. Then came surprise, excitement, and even cheers.

It has to be said that, as the center of attention, being watched all the way, especially performing in front of the former villagers, made the Uchiha, who were naturally arrogant, feel quite good.

but

Then again, they themselves didn't know when the Uchiha clan had become so popular in Konoha.

And they even seemed overjoyed and welcoming?

Did they think we would return to Konoha and continue to burn ourselves for the Will of Fire?

Ha ha.

They used to treat us coldly, but only realized our importance after they lost us.

Now that we've reappeared, do we still want everything to go back to the way it was?

late!

now.

In contrast, the faces of the Konoha villagers at the scene were full of surprise, curiosity, excitement, and anticipation, and even seemed to recall the past, with a few people showing fear and frowning expressions.

Sasuke, Izumi Uchiha, Jun Uchiha, and the others maintained a calm expression throughout.

Chapter 194 The Uchiha Clan, Greatly Popular Among the Villagers

Amidst the cheers of the unsuspecting Konoha villagers, who seemed to welcome a returning hero, the Uchiha group continued their journey.

Behind them, the Konoha ninjas looked at each other in bewilderment at what they saw.

"When did the Uchiha clan become so popular with the villagers of Konoha?" Sarutobi Asuma lit a cigarette, looking puzzled.

He knew very well how prestigious the Uchiha clan had been in Konoha.

Kakashi watched Sasuke and the others walk away, and said calmly, "Death is the greatest tragedy. People always show the utmost kindness to the deceased. Just like after the Uchiha clan was massacred, villagers who didn't have a good impression of the Uchiha clan came out to pay their respects and shed tears of remembrance. In the end, no matter how discordant things are, everyone is still one of us. And right now, it is precisely because of this 'one of us' attitude that the villagers are showing such great enthusiasm towards the Uchiha."

"in addition."

At this point, Kakashi's eyes flickered, and he didn't continue.

He knew there was another reason.

The relationship between the Uchiha clan and the villagers has never been harmonious.

While some of this stemmed from Uchiha's personal character issues, the greater factor was the machinations of Konoha's higher-ups.

How much conflict could there be between ordinary villagers and the Uchiha clan?

Because of his arrogant personality, the latter usually doesn't pay much attention to ordinary villagers.

The only contact is when the security forces are enforcing the law.

You could say that the Uchiha clan is harsh and inhumane in its enforcement of the law.

But they're not targeting you; they're treating every villager, ninja, and even the ninja clan equally.

So what if I'm from the Sarutobi clan and my uncle is the Third Hokage?

As far as the Uchiha are concerned, it's still better to deal with you or them!

Thus, the villagers' perception of the Uchiha clan was at most that they were difficult to get along with and showed no mercy.

It shouldn't have reached the point of causing fear or aversion.

The reason for this is simply that they fear the Konoha leadership of the Uchiha clan is pulling the strings behind the scenes, using various means to influence the villagers, fabricate facts, and thus make the Uchiha clan even more isolated and helpless.

As for who the high-ranking officials of Konoha are.

Well, death is a serious matter, so I won't say any more.

It wasn't until after the Uchiha clan was wiped out that the villagers of Konoha suddenly realized that the Uchiha weren't as bad as they had imagined.

While the enforcement of the law may be strict, it should ultimately treat everyone equally. For ordinary people, the most important thing—fairness—has always existed.

Look at the current members of the Konoha Police Force. Although they are much more amiable, their work efficiency is not as high as that of the Uchiha. They are always trying to smooth things over, and as a result, they do many things worse than they did during the Uchiha era.

In comparison, many villagers remembered the good qualities of the Uchiha clan.

Furthermore, looking back now, the Uchiha clan and they never had any deep-seated grudges.

People didn't take advantage of you, nor did they intend to harm you. So why were you so blinded by fear and hatred towards the Uchiha clan back then?

Furthermore, with the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, Konoha, having severed one of its own arms, experienced a significant decline in overall strength and deterrent power, leading to a long period of reduced missions and a decline in the village's economy.

The villagers of Konoha feel a mixture of anticipation and guilt regarding the return of the Uchiha clan.

All of this erupted together, resulting in the incredibly enthusiastic scene we see today.

"But you've forgotten one thing: the Uchiha of today are no longer the Uchiha of the past."

Looking at the excited villagers ahead, Kakashi sighed deeply.

Similarly, Jiraiya also realized Hagoromo Gengetsu's plan at this time.

"This is like putting us all on the hotbed!" Jiraiya said with a wry smile.

The Uchiha clan will be leaving soon.

When the time comes, what will the villagers of Konoha think when they find that the Uchiha have left the village without looking back and have no attachment to Konoha at all?

They may not know exactly what happened, but based on their simple understanding, they would certainly point the finger at the Konoha leadership.

Skillful!

The Konoha leadership did indeed play a disgraceful role in this matter.

After all, the order to wipe out the entire Uchiha clan, from the oldest to the youngest, regardless of whether they were hawks or doves, and regardless of whether there were innocent victims, was given to Itachi Uchiha by them.

If the latter doesn't do it, they will.

"Hagoromo Gengetsu is truly shrewd. His actions have not only created chaos within Konoha but also further solidified the Uchiha's loyalty."

Jiraiya shook his head when he noticed that the Uchiha clan members had taken each step without hesitation and had become even more determined amidst the cheers of the Konoha villagers.

Tsunade, who was standing to the side, said in a fit of desperation, "Perfect, I'll resign. You can be the Hokage."

The Third Hokage laid too many seeds of trouble, and Tsunade, who is now increasingly frustrated in her position as Hokage, is absolutely speaking from the bottom of her heart when she says these words.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya was startled and immediately waved his hand, saying, "That won't do! The more this situation arises, the less you need to panic, Tsunade."

In the following time, Jiraiya tried his best to dissuade Tsunade.

Meanwhile, ahead, in the Uchiha formation.

Despite the enthusiastic cheers and various questions from the surrounding villagers, Uchiha Izumi maintained a distant and unapproachable demeanor, even though she wore a smile.

Until she saw a three-colored meatball shop, her eyes lit up and she said:

"I haven't had this shop's meatballs in a long time. I'll go try them and come back later."

Seeing this, Uchiha Jun also walked towards a takoyaki shop that he used to frequent, with a bit of a craving.

This behavior suggests that he still has feelings for Konoha.
