The Great Hero Uchiha

Do whatever you want!

I live in the countryside; it's not an apartment building, it's all individual households.

Moreover, the area near my house is relatively low-lying, and a lot of soil was filled in. Most of them were not properly installed due to laziness at the time, and the water meters were buried too deep, making them hard to find. My house and my neighbors had all been properly installed, and they could be seen at a glance.

They didn't want to fix it and wanted everyone to split the cost, paying tens of yuan more in water bills each month. It wasn't about the money; we just wanted to find out if there was a problem with the water pipes. But instead of fixing it themselves, they complained that my water meter wasn't working and needed to be replaced!

bother--

I'll just pay according to the water meter reading! Let them try to cause trouble!

You want me to change my meter? Then we'll all change ours together!

If all else fails, just go and pay the water bill yourself!

I'm truly impressed!

165. What exactly does the village want to do?

Out of caution, Uchiha Miyuki decided to observe this group of Yamato cells for a while longer, while also making arrangements around the "Root".

A plan came to mind.

However, everything needs a trigger. Uchiha Miyuki pondered for a moment and had his clansmen investigate the police department's files to see if there had been any reports of nearby villages being wiped out in recent years.

There was more than one case that met the criteria; there were several. They were all cases of small villages with a dozen or so households being suddenly wiped out, seemingly due to a robbery. The people who reported the cases were all genin from the same village, and without exception, they all died in accidents. Such cases would not be noticed by anyone unless someone was determined to investigate. However, Uchiha Miyuki lowered his head and pondered for a moment before understanding what to do.

Whether or not these things are related to the Wood Release experiment, they can serve as a trigger to expose the scandal.

After reporting the matter to the village, he instructed the Uchiha clan members to investigate.

Nothing happened a few days ago.

One night, an injured Uchiha member collapsed at the village entrance, an event that immediately stirred up the villagers.

The war had just ended when a village ninja suddenly collapsed at the village entrance, seriously wounded. The villagers wondered if the war had started again, and the village leaders naturally had to investigate.

The Uchiha clansman was seriously injured and unconscious. Although Minato Namikaze found the Uchiha clansman and reported him out of the village immediately, and noticed this suspicious case, the detailed file was still in the police department. It would be too slow for him to investigate on his own. So he immediately summoned Fugaku Uchiha and Miyuki Uchiha to the Hokage Building.

Minato Namikaze frowned.

"What did he find out? How did he get so badly injured?"

Fugaku Uchiha frowned and took out the file.

It was Uchiha Miyuki who spoke, "I've been a bit too free lately, so I went through some files and found several similar cases that happened three years ago. I had my clansmen investigate, and the investigation went smoothly for the first few days. However, the information we gathered revealed that in several nearby villages, at least forty children disappeared around the same time eleven years ago. I suspect that the incident might be related to the disappearance of these children..."

He went to investigate this case today.

Upon hearing that at least forty children had gone missing at the same time and several small villages had been wiped out, Minato Namikaze frowned.

It's highly suspicious that something like this happened near a village!

What are your thoughts on this?

"This wasn't the work of spies; someone in the village was secretly training ninjas."

"Secretly training ninjas!?"

Minato Namikaze was getting restless. The village was allowed to train ninjas, and some departments were also secretly training them. All of this was reported to the village, but he was unaware of it. Moreover, he was secretly training ninjas by plundering them. This was clearly a covert way of accumulating power behind the village's back, and he was planning to do something!

"From now on, the Dark Division will take over this matter."

Uchiha Miyuki shook his head. "Someone from the Uchiha clan is injured. I need to find out the truth about this."

Minato Namikaze nodded.

"it is good."

Even if they disagree, the Uchiha clan will investigate in secret.

Two days later—

With a gloomy face, Uchiha Miyuki once again entered the Hokage's office.

"What on earth are you doing?!"

"????"

Minato Namikaze looked completely bewildered.

"What happened?"

"The village demands an explanation from us!"

"??? You guys??? What on earth happened!?"

"Now bring all the senior executives over—"

"What on earth happened??"

Uchiha Miyuki simply looked at Namikaze Minato, and after a moment spoke again, repeating, "If you truly have no answer in your heart, then convene a high-level meeting under the pretext that Sunagakure is secretly gathering forces, and have everyone gather here! Don't ask anything now; you'll know the answer soon enough. If you do have an answer, then just say it directly! What exactly does the village want to do!"

"????"

Minato Namikaze was completely bewildered, not understanding what Miyuki Uchiha was talking about, but he realized that Miyuki Uchiha had definitely discovered some village secret.

But no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what secret could possibly make Uchiha Miyuki act this way.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke.

"I will not convene a high-level meeting unless you explain what happened."

Uchiha Miyuki stared at Namikaze Minato.

"I can't trust you, and I can't trust the village."

After saying that, Uchiha Miyuki got up and prepared to walk outside. Upon hearing this, how could Namikaze Minato let Uchiha Miyuki leave like that?

"What exactly did you discover?"

Uchiha Miyuki continued to speak in ways that Namikaze Minato could not understand.

"If you really don't know what I'm talking about, then just as I just said, summon all the senior executives."

What exactly do you want to do?

"It's not about what I do, it's about what the village is trying to do! We need to give everyone an explanation for this!"

Minato Namikaze frowned as he watched Uchiha Miyuki activate his Sharingan at this moment. No matter how much he thought about it or analyzed it, he couldn't find any secret in the village that would make Uchiha Miyuki want to fight him, the current Fourth Hokage, in the village! At this moment... the details of the previous case surfaced in his mind.

The missing baby?

Even if Uchiha Miyuki suspected the village was secretly training ninjas, there was no need for him to do this!

After a moment's hesitation, he finally backed down.

"Okay! I'll arrange a high-level meeting right now, as you requested!"

"I'll keep an eye on you, make sure you don't secretly pass on any information."

Minato Namikaze responded with a furrowed brow.

"it is good."

An emergency high-level meeting was convened immediately, and everyone gathered in the conference room.

Uchiha Miyuki glanced around at everyone.

"Follow me. I will keep a sensory barrier active the whole way. None of you should do anything that could cause a misunderstanding!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone frowned and their gazes turned to Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze nodded.

Led by Uchiha Miyuki, the group arrived outside the village. The Third and Fourth Hokage frowned, for this direction led to the location of the Root's base.

Is it about the Wood Release experiment?

wrong--

The Uchiha clan should know about that.

Hiruzen Sarutobi realized something, and his expression changed slightly. What exactly had Danzo done behind his back?!

But now that he's being watched by Uchiha Miyuki, it's too late for him to secretly get someone else to clean up Danzo's mess.

Uchiha Miyuki didn't say anything the whole way.

What everyone saw first was—

Yamato, who is practicing Wood Release!

Although the power of Wood Release was still very weak, all the high-ranking officials were still shocked, including the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Combining this with the previous incident of Uchiha clan members being injured, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately understood: Danzo had been secretly abducting children from nearby villages to conduct Wood Release experiments, and it was clear that the experiments had been successful. Wait! No… if it were only this level, Miyuki Uchiha shouldn't have made such a big move!

Uchiha Miyuki's goal was to completely dismantle the Senju clan's power in one fell swoop.

There's no way around it; even excluding the laboratories scattered outside, there's just too much dirt on Root itself!

166. Hiruzen Sarutobi, what exactly are you trying to do?!

"Who goes there!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's unintentional little movement revealed their whereabouts.

All eyes were on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Feeling the suspicious gazes, Hiruzen Sarutobi had a bitter pill to swallow. He had accidentally revealed his whereabouts because he was afraid that Danzo might do too much in secret and cause chaos in the village.

Uchiha Miyuki used a Body Flicker Technique to rush towards Yamato.

However, someone was faster than Uchiha Miyuki; over there was Namikaze Minato—

"let me."

Before Yamato could even react, Minato Namikaze had already bypassed him and gotten behind him.

He knocked him down with a single chop to the neck.

Uchiha Miyuki glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Sandaime."
