Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

The Uchiha clan, known as the madman, is nothing like the young demon fox.

They really do hit people!

"stop!"

A few whooshing sounds.

Several Root members suddenly appeared and surrounded the Uchiha and civilians.

The captured civilians, upon seeing the suddenly appearing root, cried out for help as if they had found a savior.

"Sir, please save us! We don't want to be taken to Konoha Prison!"

The two Uchiha glanced at the surrounding Root members, showing no fear despite their large numbers.

"What? Since when did the Root have the right to interfere with the Security Department's operations?"

His tone was somewhat sarcastic, even provocative.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, what I hate most is Danzo and his Root organization.

These guys are always thinking about how to target the Uchiha!

pat!pat!

The dull sound of tapping on the stone slabs grew closer, and from the shadows of the alley, a figure leaning on a cane gradually appeared, his scarred face contorted and terrifying in the shadows.

"Lord Danzo!"

The four members of the Root Clan knelt on one knee simultaneously, speaking respectfully.

"If the root has no right to manage, then does this old man have the right to manage?"

Danzo completely ignored the few Root members, his sinister eyes beneath the scars narrowing as he stared at the Uchiha in front of him.

Faced with this terrifying sense of oppression, even the usually unruly Uchiha clan members couldn't help but feel nervous.

The oppression brought by Danzo was too great.

It was simply not something that ordinary Uchiha clan members like them could withstand alone.

The oppressive atmosphere, almost frozen in place, was suddenly broken by a sound.

"Danzo, my men are performing their duties, are you going to interfere too?"

The two Uchiha who were surrounded heard this voice, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they turned around in surprise.

"Elder Shaka!"

Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the figure that was slowly approaching.

They both lean on canes, both have aged, wrinkled faces, but the difference is...

Those dark eyes radiated a fierce arrogance beyond their years.

Uchiha Setsuna!

Among the Uchiha clan, he is a hawkish elder whose status is second only to Fugaku!

"Danzo, these individuals are maliciously spreading rumors and disrupting the village's order. In order to maintain the security of Konoha, our Uchiha Guard is taking this person back for questioning. Is there a problem?"

His voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and even carried a hint of coercion.

Even so, Danzo did not speak.

If there were only these two Uchiha, he could easily overpower them and forcibly take them away.

But then, Uchiha Setsuna arrived.

Things are different then.

This hawkish elder has an astonishingly high level of seniority.

He claimed to have inherited Madara Uchiha's will and orchestrated a coup during the reign of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

Although his actions were exposed and he was arrested and imprisoned.

But that did not diminish his ambition; he has remained dormant ever since.

Two elderly men with canes, whose combined age exceeds 120, stand facing each other at the entrance of this dark alley.

Finally, Danzo turned around, leaning on his cane, and began to leave.

Uchiha Setsuna held a special position, representing almost the entire Uchiha hawk faction.

Now is not the time to tear off all ties.

Hmph! They should have placed the curse mark on those civilians back then.

Once the mission is complete, simply kill them and there won't be so many problems.

However, even if the Uchiha found out through torture that it was Root that was guiding them, it had no effect.

The Uchiha clan is inherently an evil clan.

Their words are not to be trusted at all.

Hiruzen will know how to make a choice.

Seeing Danzo leave, several Root members also vanished in a flash, immediately following after him.

The civilians controlled by the Uchiha instantly turned ashen-eyed.

Danzo is gone.

They're going to fall into the hands of those crazy Uchiha.

What will be the outcome?

What they didn't know was that if they fell into Danzo's hands, their fate would be even worse.

Perhaps, not even bones will remain!

"Lord Setsuna, why should we help that person?"

After hesitating for a moment, the Uchiha clansman following behind Uchiha Setsuna carefully considered his words before finally asking the question.

Although the other party's name was not directly mentioned.

However, everyone present knew the other's identity.

Namikaze Mirai!

Danzo stirred up public opinion precisely because he wanted to deal with Namikaze Mirai.

Uchiha Setsuna arrested these civilians who were spreading rumors in order to help Namikaze Mirai.

This is a silent confrontation.

A contest between two major forces over the future of Bofeng.

However, these Uchiha clan members couldn't understand why Elder Setsuna, who was always arrogant and aloof, would personally help Namikaze Mirai.

It seems that Uchiha and Namikaze Mirai didn't have much interaction, right?

"You don't understand."

Uchiha Setsuna's dark eyes were deep and unfathomable.

"That guy is definitely not as simple as he seems on the surface."

"If we can cooperate with him, perhaps the Uchiha clan's predicament over the years can really be changed."

Ever since Namikaze Mirai visited the Uchiha clan's territory, Uchiha Setsatsu has been looking at him with new respect.

Not long ago, Mirai Namikaze fought against Danzo's Root organization.

The battlefield was not far from the Uchiha clan's territory, and he sent clansmen to investigate. The information they obtained greatly surprised him.

Namikaze Mirai is even stronger than she was three years ago!

This conclusion both surprised and delighted him.

Fugaku, that weakling, was still hesitating.

As a hawk, he will not give up as long as he sees even the slightest opportunity!

Namikaze Mirai has already demonstrated his value.

He also needs to respond.

He wants to seize the future with his own hands!

Chapter 22 Hiruzen Sarutobi is dumbfounded! He's going to drive the demon fox out of Konoha?

"Uncle, where are we going?"

On the streets of Konoha, Naruto held Mirai Namikaze's hand, shrinking nervously behind him.

He didn't know why his uncle had brought him out.

These villagers are clearly...

His sapphire eyes, like damp embers, dimmed in an instant.

Namikaze Mirai gently stroked Naruto's hair with a tender voice.
