Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 34 The Garrison Command is Not on Guard

In the original history, Tobirama Senju did not bring the main force of the Uchiha clan to the battlefield during the First Shinobi World War; he only brought Kagami Uchiha.

This made the Uchiha clan members feel that Tobirama Senju never trusted them—which was indeed the case.

This also foreshadowed the later events surrounding Tobirama Senju's death, the other clans' dissatisfaction with the Third Hokage, and the Third Hokage's need to focus on internal village conflicts.

Meanwhile, because they did not participate in the First Shinobi World War, the Uchiha clan's strength was preserved, and the number of ninjas in the clan was the largest among the ninja clans in Konoha.

Naturally, some thoughts that shouldn't have come to mind arose.

After all, the Uchiha clan's security department, to put it nicely, was just a bunch of tools in Tobirama Senju's hands.

They do jobs that offend people.

For example, people might get into a street fight just because they've had a few drinks, and they might not actually have a bad relationship.

However, according to regulations, fighting in the street will definitely result in being locked up.

No matter how long you're locked up, once you're inside, this person will never give you a friendly look.

However, the security department had no choice but to do this.

Furthermore, given the unique nature of other ninja clans in Konoha, would the Uchiha clan be able to capture people from other ninja clans without the Hokage's authorization?

impossible.

So, ninjas get away with committing crimes, but you arrest me just because I had a few drinks and wrestled with my friend a couple of times? What kind of nonsense is that?

The resentment will definitely grow stronger.

Therefore, in the original history, the Uchiha clan's desire to rebel was not without reason.

Not only are they not valued, but the power they wield is also treated like a joke.

But it is different now.

Oh, it's not that Yua values ​​the Uchiha clan anymore. To be honest, if you want Yua to value your Uchiha clan, then you should have a few people die first and turn your eyes into kaleidoscopes. Then Yua will definitely value your clan.

Yuya also used the Uchiha clan as a tool, but in a different way than Tobirama.

Tobirama was afraid that the Uchiha would control too much territory and expand their power, but as far as Yua was concerned, as the Uchiha, you should be in charge of everything in Konoha, right?

Why didn't you arrest the people causing trouble in the commercial street?

Did you complete the registration list I asked you to make? No? What if spies from an enemy country infiltrate?

Well, you know what, with Konoha making so many big moves, it would be a miracle if ninjas from other countries didn't come to gather intelligence.

Especially since ninjas from these countries are nervous because they feel they're there to do something wrong, it's normal for them to act impulsively and then try to run away when things seem amiss.

But in Yuya's view, that's your security department's problem.

You only discovered that enemy ninjas had infiltrated Konoha. Could you have discovered them before they infiltrated?

What can the Uchiha clan say?

Indeed, nothing was found.

The Uchiha clan is stubborn and arrogant, so they would never say anything like, "We Uchiha have no responsibility for this, it's the village's fault for not doing a good job of defense."

If we're really talking about this, since Youya handed the matter over to your security department, didn't you end up taking on part of the defense duties?

Could it be that the village's defenses are entirely entrusted to the secret police?

Why call the Anbu the Anbu? They should just call them the Konoha Gatekeeper Squad.

Therefore, not only the main gate of Konoha needs to be strengthened, but other places also need to be strengthened.

The key point is that the Hokage's office needs to be kept under surveillance, as it is the highest authority in Konoha.

The basic setup is for three squads to take turns patrolling, which means there are more than a dozen people involved.

The gates of Konoha and the surrounding walls also need to be guarded; fewer than three squads can cover the area of ​​the walls.

Those three squads can't possibly watch over things 24 hours a day. To ensure rest and combat effectiveness, they have to work in three shifts, which makes about 40 people.

This is only the guarding of these two places.

If you don't send someone to keep an eye on such an important place as the commercial street, believe me, every now and then there will be some kind of theft or robbery case.

Not to mention that there are people from Kirigakure and Sunagakure here. In a sense, if you lose face here, you'll lose face on the international stage.

Well, the foreign spy was exposed in the commercial street, which is actually embarrassing on an international scale.

The Uchiha clan is proud and naturally values ​​face even more.

Putting everything else aside, Uchiha Kagami, who was standing next to Senju Tobirama, turned green with rage when he heard from his clansmen that enemy ninjas had suddenly attacked and injured people in the commercial district they were responsible for patrolling.

Although no one died, several people were injured.

What is this?

What a disgrace!

Oh, so this is the Uchiha clan, which is on par with the Senju clan?

It's really laughable. They couldn't spot an enemy spy while guarding a gate, and they were almost killed in front of everyone while on patrol. Is this all the Uchiha clan is capable of?

Of course, the above is just speculation, but often speculation is more dangerous.

So the commercial street increased its patrol efforts, with four teams working in three shifts, which added up to more than a dozen people.

In addition to the routine village patrol duties of the security department, there are also...

Yuya recently set up a research institute, and he gave a strict order that no unrelated personnel are allowed to enter or leave. Not only do members of the Uchiha clan have to guard it, but three squads of Hyuga clan ninjas have also been specially assigned to guard it.

Its importance is evident.

The Uchiha clan naturally had to send someone over.

Then, you ask whether the steel plant is important or not, and whether you need to send someone to oversee it. That person has to go.

What about grain processing plants?

At the end of the year, the villagers of Konoha rely on the canned meat produced in the factory to eat meat again, so we need to send people here too.

Simply put, there aren't many clansmen left guarding the Uchiha clan's territory lately, because there's simply not enough manpower.

This is really strange. The Uchiha clan used to complain every day about not being involved in the village and being ostracized by the villagers.

When I actually tried it, I found that I was the one who messed up.

Wasn't it given enough importance this time?

Basically, the important places in the village were all guarded by the Uchiha people, but since you guys are so incompetent, there's nothing we can do.

Senju Tobirama, who was listening from the side, narrowed his eyes.

Call it stereotypes about the Uchiha clan, call it racial discrimination (okay, that doesn't count), Tobirama Senju simply didn't trust the Uchiha clan.

Tobirama Senju had reservations about Yua entrusting so many guard duties to the Uchiha clan.

But since it was Yua's decision, Tobirama Senju decided to take a look.

Meanwhile, the Uchiha squad leader had already lowered his head, waiting to be reprimanded.

Uchiha Kagami's expression was also very grim. Tobirama Senju had always disliked the Uchiha clan, and now that his own clan was in trouble, what would become of the Hokage...?

Unexpectedly, Tobirama Senju simply frowned and patted the squad leader on the shoulder: "Don't worry about it. Just continue your patrol and make sure there are no more problems."

Then left.

Uchiha Kagami and the squad leader were both a little confused. Was this what the Hokage, who had been targeting the Uchiha clan, had said?

If you think about it from a different perspective, you'll realize that Tobirama Senju targeted the Uchiha clan because he considered them evil, and therefore naturally wouldn't trust them.

If they don't trust the Uchiha clan at all, why would they hold them accountable for this?

For Tobirama Senju, this was just a perfectly normal thing.

Uchiha?

I never thought they were reliable.

Of course, this is from Tobirama Senju's own perspective.

However, it's different from the Uchiha's perspective.

especially……

The next day, Tobirama Senju arrived at the Uchiha clan's territory with a man, announcing that he wanted to build a factory there, which left the Uchiha clan even more bewildered.

Is this the Second Hokage?

Have you been possessed?!
