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

"No need for the Uchiha clan head to worry about that," Shimura Hiroshi said through gritted teeth.

Having said all that, Uchiha Tohkan, along with the three Shimura clan elders he had just captured, returned the way they had come.

The three captured Shimura clan members were all high-ranking members of the Shimura clan, otherwise they would not have been responsible for liaising with Danzo. However, under Uchiha Tohsen's special arrangement, the team escorting the three passed directly through the most bustling commercial area of ​​Konoha Village. Soon, the news that Uchiha Tohsen had led his men to capture people from the Shimura clan spread throughout the village.

After returning to the police force, Uchiha Touhuan immediately ordered the three people he had just captured to be sent for interrogation. Upon hearing that they were interrogating members of the Shimura clan, many of the clan's best fighters perked up, knowing that this night would not be easy for the three of them.

However, Uchiha Touhuan didn't expect these people to reveal anything. The Shimura clan, especially those with close ties to Danzo, were all die-hards. Even if they were killed, they would not betray Danzo.

However, Uchiha Touhuan only wanted to make an example of someone. Now that the chicken had been slaughtered, it was time to go to the monkey and take something tangible back.

Uchiha Touhuan sat in his office until evening before changing his clothes and walking alone towards the village.

It was already late at night, and the bustling commercial street in Konoha Village was gradually becoming deserted, with shops closing one by one.

At the entrance of the flower shop in the mountains, a little blonde girl was huffing and puffing as she carried the flowers displayed at the door back into the shop. Although she was still young and had a bit of baby fat on her face, it was easy to tell that this girl was definitely going to be a beauty.

Uchiha Touhuan arrived in front of the flower shop. The little girl noticed him and turned around, saying sweetly, "Big brother, we're already closed."

"Looks like I'm late," Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile. "But could you please make an exception for me, boss? I'd like to buy some flowers to pay respects to my clansmen."

This little girl was clearly a seasoned face-obsessed person; her eyes lit up with stars after she saw Uchiha Touhuan's face clearly.

"Sure, cornflowers are fine for the memorial service for our clansmen, right? I'll get you some fresh ones from the fridge," Yamanaka Ino said as she ran over.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Uchiha Touhuan nodded with a smile.

Just then, a tall man slowly walked out from inside the flower shop.

"Ino, you go back first. I'll take care of this guest," Yamanaka Inoichi said as he came out.

"Huh?" Ino looked up at Uchiha Touhuan, then looked back at her father, before reluctantly putting down what she was holding and heading upstairs.

"Did the Uchiha clan leader come to our little flower shop so late just to buy a few bouquets?" Yamanaka Inoichi asked Uchiha Touhuan after Ino went upstairs.

"Of course, as you know, although it's difficult for the clan to find out which members sacrificed their lives the Sharingan that we took back from Danzo last night, we still need to hold a proper funeral for them," Uchiha Touhuan said.

"Please accept my condolences." Yamanaka Inoichi took out a few bouquets of cornflowers from the refrigerator, carefully wrapped them, and handed them to Uchiha Touhuan. "These flowers are the Yamanaka clan's way of paying tribute to the spirits of the Uchiha."

"Then, thank you very much for the generosity of the clan chief of the mountain." Uchiha Touhuan accepted the flowers and nodded with a smile.

"Was that little girl the daughter of the mountain clan chief? She's so cute." Uchiha Touhuan lowered his head and gently sniffed the flower in his hand before speaking slowly. "She seems to be in the same class as Elder Fugaku's second son. I heard that the little girl loves to pester our second son."

Yamanaka Ino's eyes narrowed slightly, but he still said without changing his expression, "It's just children playing around."

"That's not quite right," Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile. "Childhood sweethearts, what a beautiful phrase." "How about our two clans arrange this marriage? What does the clan head of the mountain think?"

"The children are too young. Let's consider these things when they're older." Yamanaka Inoichi declined Uchiha Touhuan's suggestion without hesitation.

Uchiha Touhuan wasn't annoyed by the rejection. The Ino-Shika-Cho clan had always been staunch supporters of the Hokage lineage, so naturally they didn't want to get involved in the Uchiha clan's mess.

"That's true," Uchiha Touhuan nodded. "The Yamanaka clan has been the clan leader for quite some time now, and the Yamanaka clan has been thriving in recent years. I still have a lot to learn from you, Yamanaka clan leader, on how to be a good clan leader."

"It's just that everyone in the clan is being too kind," Yamanaka Inoichi said.

"It seems the clan chief of the mountain clan is quite beloved by his people," Uchiha Touhuan chuckled. "However, there are always a few ungrateful bastards in every clan, aren't there?"

Yamanaka Inoichi narrowed his eyes: "I wonder what the Uchiha clan head means by that."

"Today, the clan captured a staunch supporter of Danzo in Root. He is from your Yamanaka clan, which puts me in a difficult position. After all, we all work under the Hokage. If our two clans develop any rift because of him, it would be disastrous," said Uchiha Touhuan.

"Is it the wind?" Yamanaka Inoichi's eyes flickered slightly. "That guy has forgotten the honor of the clan since joining Root, so the Uchiha clan head doesn't need to go easy on him for my sake. Do what you have to do. If necessary, I can also personally clean house."

"I see," Uchiha Touhuan nodded. "Have you forgotten the kindness of your clan? No wonder he's making baseless accusations."

"Climbing and biting?" Yamanaka Inoichi frowned.

"That's right. That guy said that when he was in Root, he used his position to transfer a total of 140 million ryo to the Yamanaka clan." Uchiha Touhuan smiled and looked into Yamanaka Inoichi's eyes. "Although I know that the Yamanaka clan would not make such a fundamental mistake, nor would they suspect the clan head, when we were investigating Root's accounts, there were indeed more than 100 million ryo that we couldn't figure out. If possible, please have the clan head Inoichi come to Uchiha when you have time. After all, it would be difficult for me to explain to the Hokage if such a large sum of money went missing."

"I understand. I'll go to the security headquarters." Yamanaka Inoichi's eyes flashed as he nodded.

"Then we won't disturb Chief Yamanaka and his family's dinner any longer." Uchiha Touhuan waved the bouquet in his hand. "At the same time, on behalf of those clan elders, I thank Chief Yamanaka for his generosity."
