I'm retrieving corpses in Konoha.

Seeing that Big Gray had already disappeared, Uchiha Natsu calmly turned around.

With a sudden leap, he landed atop the high wall.

The soldiers cheered the next moment; this victory of "counterattack from the brink of defeat" was truly hard-won.

However, the cheers were directed at Uchiha Natsu's team.

It can be said that this war was won entirely by the four of them.

If they had relied solely on themselves, the capital would probably have been massacred long ago.

Their lives were essentially saved by Uchiha Natsu and his companions.

As for Uchiha Natsu himself, although he didn't care about these things, it was good to have the support of the Land of Demons as a representative of Konoha.

In the future, we can relax some conditions in trade and obtain more profits.

Money is so important in this world; you need it to do everything.

Uchiha Natsu's shadow clone stayed here to receive the cheers, while his real body remained waiting a thousand meters away.

The battle is over, and Hinata Rena will definitely use her Byakugan to survey the surroundings.

Therefore, in order to avoid being discovered, Uchiha Natsu roughly estimated his distance and moved out of the Byakugan's line of sight.

A moment later, a gray shadow flashed by, and Big Gray rushed back like a bolt of lightning.

With an emergency stop that created two large craters in the ground, Big Gray came to a precise stop in front of Uchiha Natsu.

He opened his mouth and spat out the corpse, then revealed a fawning expression.

"Well done." Uchiha Natsu reached out and patted Big Gray's nose as it approached, giving his approval.

Then, Uchiha Natsu took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket.

This was the second bottle of Sage Pills that Uchiha Natsu obtained.

The hundreds of corpses collected on the battlefield were never exchanged for any more Sage Pills, so these are the last three remaining.

There were originally four, but the last one left in the first bottle was given to Uchiha Tetsuka before Uchiha Natsu left.

Within the Uchiha clan, Tetsuka is considered one of the top three most talented members of the younger generation.

Of course, Uchiha Natsu himself is an exception.

The first choice is undoubtedly Shisui, but as things stand, Uchiha Natsu cannot give him the Sage's Pill yet.

Second is Uchiha Itachi, but given his memories from his past life, I can't give him that title.

Third is Uchiha Tekka, who was absolutely loyal to the Uchiha clan.

Especially after being attacked by Uchiha Natsu, he changed most of his bad habits.

After careful consideration, Uchiha Natsumi left Sage Maru to him before leaving.

Now, Uchiha Natsumoto wanted to give Big Gray one.

But then I thought about it again. Big Gray can be enhanced through the system, and now that the Sage Pill is so precious, it doesn't seem worthwhile to use it on Big Gray.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Natsu silently put away the Sage Pill and then canceled the summoning jutsu.

Immediately afterwards, he took the corpse underground and released the other four corpses from the scroll.

"What level is Huang Quan...?" Uchiha Natsu rubbed his hands together, then pressed them against the skin of Huang Quan's corpse.

In my mind, the shop door opens, and the familiar sound of keyboard typing begins.

—Corpse score: 74 points, credit rating bonus: 10 points, total score: 84 points.

—Recycling successful. Obtained trade item: Bloodline Limit Increase Lottery. Effect: 10% chance to draw a new Bloodline Limit.

Please choose to take it or discard it at your own discretion.

"receive."

Uchiha Natsu thought nervously.

This Yellow Springs actually managed to reach 74 points, which is quite impressive even among management-level ninjas.

What surprised Uchiha Natsu even more was Big Gray's strength.

After two enhancements, Big Gray can now easily kill elite Jonin and should be able to fight a Kage.

The other giant bear also received two buffs during the last mass looting, so it should be at a similar level of strength now.

By the way, the best app for reading aloud right now is Wildfruit Reading; install the latest version.

As soon as Uchiha Natsumi finished thinking, the sound of typing on the keyboard started again.

—Gained a new bloodline limit: Ice Release.

Chapter 85 The Uchiha Incident

On the outskirts of Konoha Village, in the territory of the Uchiha clan.

Inside the main hall of the Nanga Shrine, elite ninjas of the Uchiha clan gather.

This is the fourth time the Uchiha clan has held a clan meeting since Uchiha Natsu went away.

Fugaku stood at the very front, his back to the stone tablet, looking at the Uchiha clansmen sitting in neat rows in front of him.

Seeing Fugaku looking over, Uchiha Inahi quickly spoke up:

"Captain, make a decision. Xia has been gone for so long, I'm afraid she won't be back anytime soon!"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku remained silent and fell into deep thought.

A few days after Uchiha Natsu left, two major events occurred.

In one of the incidents, the Konoha police force accidentally killed a member of the public while maintaining order.

This matter quickly spread throughout Konoha, and the entire Uchiha clan was placed under restrictions by the Konoha leadership.

Anbu ninjas would occasionally loiter around the Uchiha clan's territory to monitor the Uchiha.

But the "murderer" Tetsuka told Fugaku that he didn't actually do it at all.

It was just a shove, and the troublemaking resident died inexplicably.

However, no one believed Tiehuo, because Tiehuo was the only one who had contact with the deceased.

Fugaku, however, knew that Tetsuka's behavior had improved a lot since the war, and he was completely different from before.

In the past, Fugaku would have questioned the possibility that Tetsuya had accidentally killed someone.

But now, Fugaku has absolutely no belief that Tetsuya could do such a thing.

At the same time, another event also occurred.

An Uchiha ninja on a mission accidentally killed three villagers from another village.

It is said that these three villagers were a couple who received Uchiha Natsu's favor during the war, along with their child.

The team happened to pass through this village during this mission.

The couple had heard somewhere that there were members of the Uchiha clan in the group.

So they suggested that they should treat this Chunin member to a meal.

Normally, ninjas on missions are not allowed to stay overnight in ordinary people's homes.

But the team leader at the time unusually accepted the villagers' kindness and stayed there for one night.

That night, the couple and their child all died in the entryway.

The ninja captain returned and took the initiative to explain the situation.

The murderer was an Uchiha ninja in the group. He first accidentally killed the child, and then murdered the village couple who wanted to avenge the child.

Fugaku has yet to see that clansman. But he knows that this is completely impossible.

Because the Uchiha girl who was called the murderer was an orphan whose entire family died in the war.

Aside from enemy ninjas, she would never kill any innocent people, let alone ordinary villagers.

The combination of these two events caused the Uchiha clan's reputation, which had just begun to recover, to plummet.

It was even worse than before the war; even the police force was temporarily taken over by the secret service.

If the Uchiha clan cannot clear their name, they will be severely punished.

But Fugaku felt that punishment was a minor matter; the reputation that Uchiha Natsu had worked so hard to build for the clan was the real issue.

Based on these two completely impossible events, even a fool could tell that someone had framed them.

The person who could orchestrate these two framing schemes simultaneously must be closely connected to the Konoha leadership.

Therefore, starting from the first clan meeting ten days ago, some clan members have been calling for a coup.

Fugaku wanted to wait for Uchiha Natsu to return and then make a decision based on Uchiha Natsu's opinion.

However, after ten days of delay, half a month had passed since Uchiha Natsu went out on a mission.

The impact is growing, and if it continues to drag on, it may lead to even more serious consequences.

Just then, Itachi Uchiha, who was sitting at the very back, looked around.

His eyes were filled with disappointment, which he then concealed very well.

Itachi wore a mask on one side of his head, and his clothes were also those of an ANBU member.

Now, Itachi Uchiha is a member of the Anbu.

Seeing that his father seemed to be thinking, Itachi Uchiha spoke up, saying in a deep voice:

"The Uchiha clan is a member of Konoha, and both Konoha and the Uchiha have already suffered heavy losses. If a coup were to occur at this time, it would be a major loss not only to Konoha but also to the Uchiha."

Itachi Uchiha attended the clan meeting four times, and each time the clan members mentioned the coup, his remarks were different.

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha looked at Itachi Uchiha.

The last war awakened Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan to the three-tomoe level, increasing his strength and also promoting him to Chunin.

Furthermore, he successfully joined the Anbu, which made Fugaku very happy.

Itachi Uchiha, who was not even ten years old, had already awakened the three-tomoe form, and it is no exaggeration to call him an unprecedented genius.
