Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 184 The Great Battle Is About to Begin!

Tsunade was deeply saddened when she saw the remains of Setsuna Uchiha's family at the hospital.

Regardless of whether the Uchiha clan was popular in the village, this situation, where an entire family was killed and only one person remained, was unprecedented in the history of Konoha.

This is different from the previous situations where Tsunade performed surgery on the operating table but couldn't save the patient.

In fact, many times when those people are brought in barely clinging to life, their families are already prepared for the worst. Even if the doctors can't save them, they might just make a fuss at most. Very few medical disputes actually involve violence, because if they do, they'll be sent to prison.

You Ya's attitude towards medical disputes is that you can make trouble if you want, after all, it's understandable that family members might do something outrageous when they are grieving the death of their loved ones.

But if you injure the doctors or something, you'll definitely be sent to jail, locked up for a few days to figure things out before you come out.

As for retaliating against doctors, that will be punished according to the law. Injuring someone will result in paying compensation and going to jail, while murder will result in the death penalty.

Therefore, although the profession of doctor in Konoha is high-pressure, you won't really have to suffer too much humiliation from patients.

At most, some people just won't cooperate with the examination. Even though they've been told they need surgery, they still eat greasy and spicy food the night before, which can really make the doctor so angry that they develop stomach problems.

The attending physicians from the hospitals that Tsunade was leading, as well as the resident trainees from other villages, were all working under extremely low pay and had a lot of work to do, which was quite overwhelming.

Do you know what twelve corpses mean?

If you put them in a 100-square-meter room, their blood would cover the entire room...

"Yue!"

Once the first person couldn't help but vomit, a second one would follow.

Even Tsunade, who was used to seeing death and injury, couldn't help but feel nauseous, let alone these people.

However, Tsunade still mustered her spirits and looked at the attending physician who had once been her junior brother: "Go, clear out the three autopsy rooms. Where is Moonlight Bluebird? Have her take people to the emergency room and bring over twelve emergency beds."

What are you standing there for?! Take action!

Tsunade's angry shout made everyone realize what was happening.

Then everyone started to take action.

Seeing this busy yet orderly scene, the resident trainees from other villages were deeply impressed by Tsunade's charm.

Although it's clear that we'll likely be staying up late for the next two or three days, no one will complain.

Because everyone in Konoha knows that a horrific case has occurred today in the Uchiha clan's territory.

Everyone needs an answer.

To obtain this result, the first thing to investigate must be the cause of death of these victims.

Tsunade knew that Yua must be under a lot of pressure right now.

This is the first time such a case has occurred since the village was founded, and everyone is watching You Ya to see how he will handle it.

If this matter ultimately comes to nothing, it will be a very serious blow to You Ya's prestige.

……

As Tsunade had predicted, Yua was indeed very anxious and furious. He directly summoned the Uchiha clan leader, whose body was gradually weakening, to the Hokage's office.

The Uchiha clan leader naturally knew that this was not the time to complain to Yua about his hardships.

He stated that the Uchiha clan would fully cooperate with the Hokage's Anbu investigation and there would be absolutely no sign of obstruction.

To reiterate, although many high-ranking members of the Uchiha clan tacitly accepted Yua's decision to sever ties with their clan because they were indebted to him.

But precisely because of this, they cannot use radical methods to deal with Youya.

Even Shimura Danzo's so-called radical methods were nothing more than using some disgusting methods to see if he could openly and legitimately undermine Yua's prestige.

In other words, in order to earn so much money each year, these people will strictly control their methods and will not do anything underhanded to deal with You Ya.

This is not to say that they do not want to do it.

However, once they do that, Youya will immediately stop providing the annual subsidies.

The annual subsidy is over a billion taels of silver; last year, the Sarutobi family even received three billion taels of silver!

In this situation, let alone whether Yua is using interests to cut ties with their family, as long as Yua doesn't openly make a move, they are the most steadfast members of the Hokage faction, and they will slap anyone who tries to disgust Yua.

The Uchiha clan leader was well aware of this, and he had even deeper considerations.

If this mysterious person was able to wipe out the Uchiha Setsuna family without anyone noticing, is it possible that he could also wipe out his own entire family?!

This raises a more profound security issue.

Therefore, in some ways, the Uchiha clan leader was more anxious than Yua.

Of course, this is also because no one would believe that Uchiha Setsuna did it himself.

Everyone believed that there was a mysterious and powerful figure who harbored a grudge against the Uchiha clan.

As for who the enemy is...

That's not important; the Uchiha clan offended far too many people during the wars before the village was founded.

Despite his illness, the Uchiha clan leader had a brief conversation with Yua before leaving the Hokage's office.

After returning to the clan, the old patriarch forced himself to summon the various group leaders of the security department.

Fugaku Uchiha, as a genius Jonin of the Uchiha clan, is naturally included in this list.

The old clan patriarch solemnly and earnestly instructed everyone that this time they must find the culprit hiding in the shadows, otherwise the Uchiha clan would never have peace again.

Fugaku Uchiha's face was also extremely ugly.

What does it mean when it rains most?

That's it.

The Uchiha clan already had many internal conflicts, and now a mysterious and powerful figure has appeared...

The only saving grace is that, because of this mysterious external enemy, the Uchiha clan has now chosen to unite as one.

This can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

But the problem came again.

We need to send more people to the family's ancestral lands, and what about the security department...?

Fugaku Uchiha felt the veins on his forehead about to bulge.

Oh well, being busy is fine. Being busy is better than having your whole family die.

……

Uchiha Setsuna stayed at home after that day and did not come out, and no Uchiha clan member chose to go to see him at that time.

Even if the Security Department is in complete chaos, no one will ask Uchiha Setsuna, the vice-minister, to help.

After all, the Uchiha people are just stubborn, not mentally ill.

So, on the night the incident was exposed, Setsuna Uchiha looked at Black Zetsu in the basement of his house and asked, "Lord Madara... are you sure... everything will be alright?"

Black Zetsu smiled. "Don't worry, everything will be fine. Once this surgery is complete... you will possess power comparable to mine! At that time, this laughable village of Konoha, and that hypocritical, disgusting Hokage, will all be no match for you!"

Uchiha Setsuna's face lit up with fervor and longing.

Unlike Uchiha Kagami, Uchiha Setsuna was a deep fanatic for Uchiha Madara.

He idolized Madara Uchiha since childhood, and although doing all this caused him great pain, it was all for the sake of saving the Uchiha clan...

Then it was all worth it!

"Alright, then... let's begin." Uchiha Setsuna closed his eyes, while Black Zetsu took out two containers containing Sharingan eyeballs.

……

"What did you say?!" Yua gripped the receiver in the Hokage's office, his face filled with disbelief. He couldn't help but confirm again, "Tsunade, are you sure... she's gone?! And, she's alone?!"

Tsunade hummed in agreement, and although her voice trembled slightly, she still reported her autopsy report to Yua again: "It's true, the son of Uchiha Setsuna, the vice-commander of the Security Department, had his eyes gouged out, and the method was extremely brutal."

You Ya felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in his mind.

He understood in just a few breaths.

Understood.

No wonder someone was able to silently wipe out the entire Uchiha clan, one of the strongest fighting groups in the heavily guarded Hidden Leaf Village...

It turns out the killer was actually an inside man!

"I...I understand..." Youya hung the receiver on the office phone and fell silent.

He knew from the anime that the Uchiha clan was extremely fanatical.

But after getting to know them, he discovered that this family wasn't entirely made up of eccentric and paranoid individuals.

The head of the Uchiha clan was also a money-loving old man, and he would prioritize distributing the money to his direct relatives, as he had his own ulterior motives.

This clan also has people like Uchiha Kagami who have a broad perspective and are willing to leave the clan territory because they can't stand the old men in their own clan.

Of course, there are also parents like Obito's parents, whose hearts and minds are only focused on their children, and who are willing to give everything for their children.

There are also ordinary people who leave their ancestral homeland to open a small shop in the inner city and feel happy just to have a better life.

The Uchiha clan cannot be explained by a single symbol or a pattern on a fan.

In a family, each individual is the symbol that makes up that family.

Now, Youya understands who the perpetrator is.

They also knew that Black Zetsu was definitely up to something in the shadows.

But the problem is coming.

Yua is not Naruto or Sasuke. He does not have Yin-Yang Release and cannot sense the existence of Black Zetsu. Even if he knows that it was this bastard who secretly instigated Uchiha Setsuna to kill his entire family and steal his loved ones' Sharingan to awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Yua still does not know where Black Zetsu is now.

They had no idea how to arrest the person.

not to mention……

Uchiha Setsuna's entire family has been killed. What consequences will Yua's attempt to capture them cause?

Not to mention that Yua's glorious image would be completely destroyed, it would be fine if he could actually be captured, since that would mean the end of Naruto.

But can you catch Black Zetsu?

Yuya doesn't have Yin-Yang Escape and can't use the Yin-Yang Sealing Technique, so how can he capture Black Zetsu?

They couldn't even perceive it...

You Ya's face was extremely ugly. This feeling of knowing that someone was causing trouble in the dark but being unable to do anything about it was really unbearable.

Youya took a deep breath. No, I need to calm down, calm down...

It is now known that Uchiha Setsuna was definitely bewitched by that bastard Black Zetsu, otherwise why would his son be missing eyes? And why would only his son have eyes?

So here's the question: his son's eyes were gouged out, surely so that he could awaken the Eternal Kaleidoscope.

What about after that?

Yuya suddenly remembered that there was a stone tablet deep inside the Uchiha clan!

In the original story, you need a kaleidoscope to see the contents of that stone tablet.

But then another problem arises...

Although Yuya is now the Hokage, if he were to go to the Uchiha clan head and say, "I know there is a stone tablet in your clan that records the secrets of your Uchiha clan, could you take me to see it?"

Would the Uchiha clan leader happily nod and say: "Okay, okay, let's go, I'll take you to see—?"

What a load of rubbish!

The Uchiha clan leader is probably only thinking about which bastard leaked the information!

You Ya rubbed his hair in frustration. This direction wasn't right either. What else could he do?

Without the advantage of being prescient, it's really too difficult to play.

It's also my own fault for being a butterfly that has completely distorted the history of Naruto.

If this were the original Naruto timeline, World War II would have already broken out. Nawaki would probably have been under Orochimaru's tutelage, and then been blown up by the explosive tags...

You Ya sighed, not knowing at all what the other party would do next.

Did such a situation exist in the original history?

Madara Uchiha?

But their opponent is Hashirama Senju...

Just as he was thinking this, Fugaku Uchiha knocked on the door.

You Ya sighed, lowered his hand from scratching his head, and coughed lightly: "Come in."

Fugaku Uchiha entered, carrying a report.

It is a security request for important figures in Konoha Village.

That is, how many people are assigned to protect important figures.

Yuya nodded, indicating that Fugaku could put it down and leave.

After reading it, Yuya felt there were no problems, so he pressed a button on the table, and an ANBU ninja came over and took the document signed by Yuya.

You Ya smiled as he looked at the white-haired man and asked about the man's son's recent situation.

Sakumo Hatake always felt that Yua seemed to be paying a little too much attention to his son, Kakashi.

However, after thinking about it, I realized that the other party was also quite interested in Might Guy, Might Day's son, so I felt relieved.

Maybe it's just that I like children.

After chatting for a few minutes, Youya felt much better.

After all, Might Guy almost killed Madara with a single kick in the final episode.

As Yuya was thinking this, another thought suddenly occurred to her. At that time, Madara only had one eye and couldn't even activate Susanoo. If it were the complete Six Paths Madara, then it would be hard to say.

Then Yuya thought of the famous scene where Madara Uchiha was ambushed by Black Zetsu.

"Yes! That's it!"

You Ya suddenly realized what was happening!

What is Black Zetsu's main purpose?!

It was his resurrected mother!

And what does it take to resurrect his mother?

Ten tailed beasts!

Considering Setsuna Uchiha's Uchiha clan affiliation, and the fact that he definitely gouged out his son's eyes to awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan...

Everything connected!

If that's the case...

In Konoha Village, Kushina Uzumaki...

Although it may not be the next target, it is definitely on that bastard Black Zetsu's target list.

So next...

It seems the only option left is to wait and see...

Yuya thought for a moment and then pressed the button on the Hokage's desk again.

He wants to change the Anbu's patrol targets; as for Kushina Uzumaki...

Let Uchiha Kagami personally go and protect them.
