Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha

Chapter 4: Surviving is just shameful (Please recommend and add to your favorites)

"Captain, everyone's here."

Behind Uchiha Tetsuka were more than a dozen Uchiha clansmen, all of whom were on duty at the Uchiha Guard today.

At this time of year, most of them would normally be patrolling Konoha's commercial streets, food streets, and other similar areas.

Even though the Fourth Shinobi World War had been going on for eight years, the lives of ordinary people in Konoha were not greatly affected.

Fighting to the death is a matter for ninja masters, what does it have to do with ordinary people? The five great ninja villages have a tacit understanding on this point.

But those small ninja villages weren't so law-abiding; when they couldn't make ends meet, they resorted to cunning and force to seize the property of the common people in the village.

Some ninjas from smaller ninja villages even defected to avoid combat missions assigned by their villages, choosing to become rogue ninjas, taking advantage of the fact that smaller ninja villages did not have the ability to hunt them down.

This led to civilians from smaller ninja villages beginning to flee in a directional manner towards the five great ninja villages, with Konoha being the most suitable place to settle down.

While the number of Konoha ninjas decreased, the number of ordinary civilians in Konoha actually increased after the First Shinobi World War.

This led to the development of commerce in Konoha, resulting in a consistently heavy workload for the Uchiha Police Department.

With more people, all sorts of oddities emerge, and petty theft occurs frequently, which the security department has to deal with.

Moreover, those who came to Konoha were not only ordinary citizens, but also spies from various major ninja villages. The Uchiha Police Department even cooperated with the Hokage's Anbu to secretly deal with the spies.

"Captain, what's the matter that requires calling all the staff on duty? We've been swamped these past few days."

"Yes, Captain, how's the expansion of our security department going? The Hokage hasn't given us an answer yet. We're not enough people right now. We need to draw some ordinary people from the clans. Anyway, it's all about managing civilians, so it doesn't necessarily have to be ninjas."

"."

Uchiha Inahisa stood behind Uchiha Tetsuka, complaining. He and Tetsuka were twins, and they were in the same squad as Uchiha Nan on the battlefield.

They weren't officially registered ninjas in Konoha; they weren't officially employed by the village.

They were ninjas trained within the clan, belonging to the Uchiha's private army. The Fourth Shinobi World War lasted for eight years, and even some of the clan's private army were drawn to the battlefield.

These two brothers had a good relationship with Uchiha Nan, after all, they had been on the battlefield together, and Uchiha Nan had even saved Tetsuka's younger brother, Inahisa's, life.

As soon as he entered the door, Daohuo started complaining loudly about all the mess that had happened recently.

"Captain, I really don't want to retire from the front lines. Dealing with trivial matters every day is not as good as letting me fight on the battlefield."

"team leader??"

Uchiha Nan didn't speak, just kept staring at Inahisa, and Uchiha Nan's gaze made Uchiha Inahisa feel scared.

The last time the captain was so serious was when they were trapped in a stone cave by more than a dozen Jonin from Kumogakure. If the captain hadn't suddenly unleashed his power and slaughtered everyone, they would have lost their lives there.

"Captain, I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"

Uchiha Inahisa chuckled awkwardly while giving her older brother, Tetsuka, a meaningful look.

"Daohuo, shut your mouth. The captain hasn't said a word, but you're the only one babbling on and on."

Tetsuka tapped Inahashi's head with his hand, then turned his head toward Uchiha Nan, waiting for Uchiha Nan to speak.

Seeing that Inaho had shut up, the other Uchiha clan members also wisely kept their mouths shut.

Although Uchiha Nan always presented himself as friendly and gentle to everyone in the clan, after all, he had received nine years of compulsory education under the red flag when he transmigrated here. He just silently accumulated good karma to draw lots and make himself stronger every day, but no one dared to provoke Uchiha Nan.

Uchiha Nan was a fierce warrior on the battlefield, his body crackling with lightning, the dazzling lightning concealing the blade's edge. In an instant, the enemy's head would fall to the ground. Uchiha Nan's position as captain of the security force was not obtained through nepotism, but through meritorious service on the battlefield.

It was obvious that all the Uchiha present sensed the unusual attitude of their captain, Uchiha Nan, today.

"Inahisa, you were just complaining that the Hokage is slow to expand the Security Forces?"

Uchiha Nan released Banji from his grasp, stood up and stretched his body, then looked at Uchiha Inahikazuchi and said.

"Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Uchiha Inahisa rubbed his head; his brother Tetsuka's blow had still hurt quite a bit.

"snort"

Uchiha Nan gave a cold laugh.

"The expansion of the Uchiha Security Force will probably be delayed for some time, and the Hokage won't have a chance to approve it."

"I just received news that the Hokage has died in the negotiations with the Raikage."

Uchiha Nan's words were like a heavy hammer blow to the heads of the Uchiha present, leaving everyone feeling dizzy.

"team leader?"

"Are you kidding me? The Hokage is dead?"

"Did he die in the negotiations?"

Uchiha Tekka's tone was filled with disbelief, and he felt a sense of absurdity about Tobirama Senju's death.

This man is notoriously cunning. The elders in the clan who have lived since the Warring States period would curse Tobirama with words like cunning, black-hearted, and a wicked scoundrel full of schemes and tricks.

Some pessimistic old men even declared that Tobirama, that cunning fellow, would probably outlive them. It seemed the Uchiha clan had no chance for decades. Who in the clan could outwit that black-hearted bastard Tobirama? Heaven was not on our side, Uchiha!

Tiehuo, who had been taught by his clan elders since childhood, had heard these words far too often.

Among the elderly who survived from the Warring States period, some harbored a deep-seated hatred for Tobirama, but due to circumstances, they could only curse him verbally. However, even while cursing him, they remained highly united in their belief that Tobirama was remarkably long-lived.

"Is this something you can joke about?"

Uchiha Nan looked at Uchiha Tetsuka and said seriously.

"According to the intelligence I have received, the Second Raikage's subordinates, Kinkaku and Ginkaku, launched a coup and ambushed the Second Raikage and Lord Tobirama at the negotiating table."

"The Second Raikage died, and Lord Tobirama was seriously injured. He led the Shadow Guard and was hunted down by the elite forces of Kinkaku and Ginkaku. In the end, in order to cover the escape of the Shadow Guard, he alone lured away the pursuing forces until he died in battle."

Uchiha Nan briefly explained what had happened. Uchiha Tetsuka felt his head throbbing. If the person in front of him wasn't Uchiha Nan, Uchiha Tetsuka would have slapped him.

What nonsense are you spouting here? What do you mean by "the Hokage covering the Kageshield"?

Which family's shadow guards would let a village's shadows cover their escape?

It's shameful enough to just survive like this!
