My name is Uchiha Touhuan, and I beat the villagers so badly they cried out in pain.

"Lord Hokage, Uchiha Touken is leading a squad of guards on his way to the Shimura clan's territory."

"What?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyelids twitched, but he couldn't figure out what Touken Uchiha was up to.

"Lord Hokage, please let me go. I'll try to stop him." At this moment, Itachi Uchiha, who was on duty today, suddenly stepped out of the shadows, knelt down on one knee, and pleaded for permission.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Itachi Uchiha for a long time before letting out a long sigh and saying, "It's up to you now, Itachi. The village can't afford any more infighting."

Uchiha Itachi accepted the order and left, speeding through the houses of Konoha. Before long, he arrived at the outskirts of the Shimura clan's territory, just as Uchiha Touhuan and his group, who were traveling at a leisurely pace, arrived.

At this moment, the entire Zhicun clan territory was draped in white mourning clothes, and in the distance, mournful music could be heard.

Looking at the person blocking their way, even though he was wearing a mask, every ninja in the village knew who he was—the only minor in the Anbu.

"Itachi, we're here to summon the suspects related to the Shimura clan back to the police station to cooperate with our investigation. Did the Hokage send you to assist us?" Uchiha Touhuan asked.

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Itachi Uchiha simply stopped pretending and took off his mask.

"Douhuan-ge, let's go back. The village can't afford any more infighting," Itachi Uchiha said.

"So, you're here to stop me?" Uchiha Touhuan's eyes turned cold. "Is this your own idea, or the Hokage's?"

At this moment, the purpose of Uchiha Touhuan's deliberate slow passage through the village became apparent. After all, with such a large entourage, there were bound to be a few villagers who wanted to watch the excitement and become curious. Moreover, the location of the Shimura clan's territory happened to be in a relatively prosperous area of ​​the village, and at this moment, quite a few villagers who wanted to watch the excitement had already gathered around them.

"The evidence is conclusive that Shimura Danzo desecrated the First Hokage's body and attacked his own village ninjas. The Shimura clan has a vested interest in him. We are only here to invite them back for investigation, but now you are standing up to stop us. What are you up to?" Uchiha Touhuan continued after seeing that most of the people had arrived.

"Brother Douhuan..." Itachi Uchiha felt somewhat uncomfortable under the gazes of the onlookers.

"Use your job title when you're working!" Uchiha Touhuan interrupted Uchiha Itachi without hesitation. "If this is what the Hokage wants, I'll turn around and leave right now."

Uchiha Itachi turned to look at the onlookers around him, who were practically craning their necks to double their length. Could he say that this was the Hokage's idea?

What happened at the village entrance yesterday, after fermenting overnight, has already spread to every corner of the village.

"Clan leader..." Under the strange looks from everyone, Uchiha Itachi could only lower his head.

Uchiha Touhuan, on the other hand, led his men and walked right past him.

Soon, the Shimura clan learned of what had happened at the entrance of their clan's territory. The current clan head, Shimura Hiroshi, then led his men to block Uchiha Touhuan's path inside the clan's territory.

"I'm sorry, the Shimura clan is not available to receive guests at the moment." Shimura Hiroshi, dressed in a pure black kimono, said to Uchiha Touhuan with a cold face.

"Then we've come at an inopportune time." Uchiha Touhuan nodded. "It seems the Shimura clan is holding a funeral?"

"You Uchiha clan still have the nerve to come here!" At this moment, an agitated young ninja from the Shimura clan suddenly sprang up and charged towards Uchiha Touhuan. The security personnel behind Uchiha Touhuan were about to make a move, but Uchiha Touhuan stopped them with a gesture.

The excited Shimura clan member was quickly dragged back by the Shimura clan ninja beside him.

"I'm a junior member of the clan and I don't know the proper etiquette, please forgive me," said Shimura Hiroshi.

"I understand, I understand," Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile. "However, I'm not here as a guest today."

Uchiha Touhuan's smile vanished: "We request that Clan Chief Shimura summon Shimura Retsuto, Shimura Arashi, Shimura Yusuke, and the others to come with us to assist in the investigation."

Upon hearing this, the members of the security department behind Uchiha Touhuan, who were already seething with anger, immediately prepared to step forward. The Shimura clan ninjas present naturally did not remain indifferent.

"This is probably against the rules," Shimura Hiroshi said in a low voice.

"It's just cooperating with the investigation. After all, the ledgers that the Security Department found at the Root base show that the Shimura clan has deep-rooted interests with Root. I personally believe in the innocence of the Shimura clan head." Uchiha Touhuan said, taking out the almost burned ledger from his sealed scroll.

"Clan leader, what else is there to say? The Uchiha clan is full of wolves and wolves. Elder Danzo died at their hands. Avenge Elder Danzo!" roared the Shimura clan ninja who had been restrained.

"It seems the Shimura clan has truly colluded with Shimura Danzo and intends to betray the village." Uchiha Touhuan's expression was cold and stern, and the three tomoe in his eyes transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan at that moment.

Shimura Hiroshi wanted to lash out, but seeing the Mangekyou Sharingan flashing in Uchiha Touhuan's eyes, he could only suppress his inner impulse and said with gritted teeth, "Stop! I'll just have them go with you."

Hiroshi Shimura, Danzo's cousin, witnessed the great battle between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. He clearly understood the immense power of the Mangekyou Sharingan; otherwise, where would such a vast area as the Valley of the End have come from? Now, within the Shimura clan's territory, if Touken Uchiha were to unleash his full power, the final outcome was uncertain, but none of the Shimura clan members would escape.

At the same time, Uchiha Touhuan came with a righteous cause. Once a conflict breaks out between the two sides, they will truly be unable to clear their names even if they jump into the Naka River.

"Wouldn't it have been better if you had cooperated earlier?" Uchiha Touhuan chuckled, waving his hand to signal Uchiha Enyu to lead his men to capture the person.

"Clan leader!" The young people of the Shimura clan immediately protested. Accustomed to bullying others in the village, they could not stand this insult.

"Clan Chief Shimura, please don't put me in a difficult position." Uchiha Touhuan approached Shimura Hiroshi and whispered in his ear.

Shimura Hiroshi's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything more, only signaling to his clansmen not to get agitated.

The arrest didn't last long, since the people Uchiha Touhuan had previously named were all there. After handcuffing them, Uchiha Enyu reported back to Uchiha Touhuan.

"Clan Chief Shimura, thank you for your cooperation." Seeing that the person was in his hands, Uchiha Touhuan relaxed. "However, I must advise you that holding a funeral for a traitor at this critical juncture is probably not very appropriate."
