Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 252 Physical Fire Extinguishing

Sasuke searched several places before finally finding her, and then he heard his mother's "scream"...

This terrified young Sasuke, and he was filled with anger, thinking that someone was bullying his mother.

Calling it bullying is not entirely wrong, but it's not quite the same as the bullying that young Sasuke understands.

With a thud, little Sasuke ran a few steps and crashed into the door, shouting, "Stop! Don't bully my mom, or my brother and Brother Xuan won't let you get away with it!"

Sasuke is only two years old this year, and his voice, which is almost three years old, is still childish and has no intimidating power whatsoever.

The door wasn't forced open, partly because Sasuke wasn't strong enough, and partly because the door was of very high quality.

The screams from the bedroom suddenly stopped, and the room quickly fell silent. The man and woman looked at each other in bewilderment.

Sensing the subtle change, Mikoto, sitting face-to-face with Uchiha Gen in her lap, pinched his waist and rolled her eyes, but didn't forget to reply.

"Sasuke, Mom is alright."

"Why did the mother scream?"

"because……"

Mikoto couldn't think of a good reason and was speechless for a moment. She couldn't just tell the truth, could she?

"Sasuke, your mother is fine. Your mother and I are rehearsing a stage play."

"Do you know what a stage play is?" Uchiha Gen quickly chimed in.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Sasuke was mostly convinced, but then the topic was shifted, and his attention was diverted.

"I don't know," Sasuke replied honestly.

Want to know?

"think."

"I'll take you to see it tonight, and you'll see. We'll have dinner out too."

"Okay, okay, by the way, you should bring your brother too."

"Okay, go play now. Your mom and I still have rehearsals to do, we can't be delayed."

"it is good."

Soon, Sasuke skipped away.

In the bedroom, Mikoto looked worried and said, "I'm a little uneasy because no one is watching Sasuke."

"There's no one here. The clan's servants and the outer ninjas are all here. What could possibly happen?"

"You can't spoil Sasuke too much. Ninjas have to be toughened up from a young age."

"Otherwise, if I ruin it, Fugaku-san would blame me if he knew in the afterlife."

Mikoto glared at Uchiha Gen: "Why bring him up at a time like this?"

"You're sincere, aren't you?"

"No, we're just stating the facts," Uchiha Gen said innocently.

"Hmph, your words may lie, but your body language won't fool me. You're disgusting."

"Hehe, I can't fool you, but your body's reaction can't fool me either..."

After saying that, Uchiha Gen leaned close to Mikoto's long, fair neck.

Mikoto wrapped her arms around Uchiha Gen's head, lifting his long, fair neck. Her eyes were like spring water and autumn waves, her pretty face was flushed like a sunset, her breathing was quite rapid, and she scolded him playfully.

"Ugh, why did you have to say that?"

"It's all your fault, you've corrupted me."

"And will Sasuke remember what happened today when he grows up?"

"If I could remember, I would be incredibly embarrassed."

Uchiha Gen paused, thinking to himself, "Didn't you say that first?"

Forget it, why bother arguing with a woman about something like this...

"Don't worry, Sasuke isn't even three years old yet."

"Normally, memories from three or four years old are short-term memories, and they definitely won't be remembered when you grow up. You can only remember profound events after the age of five more clearly."

"Hey, what are you doing?"

In the bedroom, Uchiha Gen embraced Mikoto and collapsed at the foot of the bed.

"Didn't you say you were tired before?"

"Mmm." Mikoto nodded gently, her face flushed.

Uchiha Gen said no more and focused on putting out the fire for himself.

……

That evening, Uchiha Gen didn't lie to the children; he really took Sasuke and Itachi to see a stage play performed by a foreigner in Konoha.

The next morning, Uchiha Gen began his regular workday, handling documents that required his personal approval.

In this regard, she was quite prudent; although she had the authority to handle the matter, she left things that could be postponed.

Besides going to work, Uchiha Genya often spent time with Kurenai and Yugao after get off work.

However, because the three girls, Kurenai, Yugao, and Anko, were so close, they were often inseparable, making it difficult for Uchiha Gen to engage in any intimate actions.

However, these are minor details. Just being with three beautiful girls with different charms is already a pleasant experience.

One night a week later, Uchiha Gen took the opportunity to visit the vaults of Root and Danzo's mansions again.

Both vaults were heavily fortified, both inside and outside, but Uchiha Gen managed to break through them, and the money inside disappeared again.

It's worth mentioning that Uchiha Gen didn't use the money he obtained this time; instead, he burned it all.

In fact, Danzo did make multiple arrangements, including the arrangements inside and outside the treasury, and dividing the money in his family and home into three parts.

Each one is marked with a unique, traceable mark.

However, after Uchiha Gen burned it down, he could no longer be tracked down. Danzo was furious that his elaborate traps failed to work.

However, not all fires are the same. Danzo's fire could not be extinguished quickly using physical methods; he could only endure it slowly.

The only thing that comforted Danzo was that his last resort worked, and he didn't lose all his money.

If we lose everything, this year will be tough.

This led Danzo to decide to continue the practice of keeping the locations of the hidden money in the Root organization and his home known only to him.

At worst, he'll have to go through a bit more trouble and work a little harder, making a few more trips each month.

Uchiha Gen realized from the amount of money in the vault that it was only a portion of the total, so he did not give up the investigation.

We must teach Danzo a profound lesson, and incidentally make him worry about money, so that he'll only think about making money all day long and have no time for anything else.

Every day, Gen Uchiha would send a small portion of his soul to attach to inconspicuous dead objects to track Danzo, and gradually he discovered another hiding place for the money.

Instead of taking immediate action to avoid alerting Danzo, they deduced the characteristics of Danzo's hidden money based on the location of the hiding place.

Based on Danzo's characteristics of hiding money, the divided souls searched the nearby underground walls and soon found another hiding place.

After a careful search and confirming there was no hiding place, Uchiha Gen sneaked in and set two fires, burning the two sums of money to ashes.

Half a month later, Danzo ran out of money and returned to his hiding place.

Upon seeing the burn marks and the ash on the ground, Danzo was stunned into silence.

Upon regaining consciousness, Danzo had no time for grief and immediately ran to his last hiding place, where he saw an almost identical scene.

The only difference is that the size of the ash piles is slightly different.

Danzo was struck as if by a bolt from the blue; his body stiffened on the spot, his vision blurred, his ears rang, and he felt as if the whole world had been plunged into darkness...

After a long while, Danzo finally came to his senses, his eyes red as he howled, "Ah... you damned thief, you robber, I'll fight you to the death!"

Danzo's reaction was partly due to the enormous financial loss.

Another reason is the intense frustration of failing despite thorough preparation, being caught off guard, and lacking any useful clues!

Danzo vented his anger for a while before gradually calming down, and then returned to Root as if nothing had happened.

Back in his office at Root, Danzo had only one thought on his mind: make money, make money, and make the hell out of money!

As for other things, I have absolutely no interest in paying attention to them.

At least not until they get some money to solve their immediate problem...
