Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Moreover, if these prisoners could get close to Hiruko, it would definitely be beneficial, even if they ultimately failed to escape Konoha.

Selling one's body?

For them, who are now prisoners, is their innocence really that important compared to their lives?

As ninjas, they knew all too well what would happen to enemy ninjas if they fell into their hands.

The best option is to find a way to control Hiruko; if that's not possible, becoming his woman is also a good choice.

Inside the Hokage Building, Nara Shikaku was assisting Namikaze Minato with some tedious and uninteresting tasks, and was also providing some general directions for the implementation of Minato's specific policies.

The usually lazy and carefree Nara Shikaku is forced to take on heavy work due to the Hokage's high trust and the pressure of the mission.

He went from being a lazy bum to becoming the most diligent person in Konoha Village.

Unlike his future son, Minato Namikaze, who would do everything himself, learned from historical experience and knew how to delegate appropriately.

They are also good at absorbing the opinions of others, and generally only give their own opinions on the general direction.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, there won't be a situation where an outsider instructs an expert. Therefore, Nara Shikaku has been extremely busy in the hall lately.

In the Hokage's office, Minato Namikaze was reviewing files while further practicing his Rasengan, and even had a video call with his wife when he had a spare moment.

With Nara Shikaku supporting him, even if he occasionally runs away and disappears for a few days, it doesn't have a big impact.

Thanks to Hiruko's mediation, Konoha is now thriving.

"Minato, is there any news from Jiraiya?"

Hiruko asked Minato Namikaze in the Hokage's office.

“Nagato and Konan, these two are Jiraiya’s disciples, right? They are still alive, so you naturally know that.”

"Besides, Jiraiya will have more protection going to Amegakure."

Jiraiya was practically the pinnacle of combat power in the early stages of Naruto. If it weren't for a lack of information, no one would know if he could have defeated Nagato.

But at least he can protect himself; if he wants to leave, no one can stop him.

However, Konan's strength should not be underestimated. She can bring the power and artistry of paper magic to the extreme, integrating it into various battle scenarios.

Toad oil can counter Konan's Paper Release technique, reducing some of her abilities.

If combined with Wood Release, the effect might be even better.

Just the fact that he could control Konan was enough reason for Jiraiya to recruit the Akatsuki organization.

Furthermore, the master-disciple relationship might increase the chances of successfully persuading Nagato and Konan.

Although in the Naruto world, the master-disciple relationship... killing one's master is an old tradition!

Hiruko paused for a moment, then calmly said, "Right now, I want to deal with Danzo's matter first."

However, finding fault with Danzo is extremely difficult. He acts with great secrecy, and it is unlikely that he will succeed in taking revenge in secret.

What are your plans?

Hiruko chuckled and said, "Danzo's Root has developed to this extent that everyone in Konoha has become aware of it."

“But to train so many people, the village’s regular funding is far from enough, after all, the root and the dark side are different.”

"Danzo has been using Root to amass wealth, thereby providing funds to train Root ninjas."

Mikoto Uchiha, who was standing to the side, was immediately shocked. She hadn't expected that Danzo would dare to amass wealth so blatantly.

It's important to understand that the current Hokage isn't the old Third Hokage of the past, but Minato Namikaze. Whether Minato Namikaze will show mercy to this old guy is still uncertain.

Training ninjas quickly is actually very expensive, requiring a lot of money for everything from ninja tools and secret manuals to medical supplies.

The training methods of Root and regular ninjas are completely different. If they want to quickly train weapons that can be used on the battlefield...

The cost is naturally enormous.

Konoha Village has many expenses, so it's impossible for them to allocate that much money to Root. Danzo often has to raise the funds himself.

Hiruko nodded and looked at Mikoto, saying, "Lady Mikoto, if the Uchiha clan is willing to help me, I will take the lead in this matter."

During the Warring States period, other clans would show deference to the Uchiha clan when they came to visit, but once they entered the village, some people rode on the heads of the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan is not one to be bullied, and this time it's about combating crime and preventing espionage, which is also the responsibility of the Security Department.

Mikoto said, "I understand, Lord Hiruko."

The Uchiha clan is too low-key now, to the point that most of the clan members have forgotten how powerful the Uchiha clan used to be.

During the Warring States period, if someone hired the Uchiha clan, the other party would inevitably have to hire the Senju clan, otherwise they would be unable to deal with them.

Although the Uchiha clan was defeated in the struggle against the Senju clan, they are not a small clan that can be trampled on at will.

If a small family like Shimura Danzo dared to provoke them, they would be wiped out the very next day.

Hiruko smiled and said, "Thank you, Lady Mikoto."

Finally, Mrs. Mikoto walked out gracefully.

Hiruko could only marvel at her swaying figure.

It has to be said that Fugaku Uchiha was a ruthless man, using his wife as bait, especially since Hiruko was a womanizer.

As a Jonin, Uchiha Mikoto was naturally able to sense Hiruko's gaze.

Her face was flushed, and then she walked out gracefully.

Hiruko immediately ordered his subordinates and the Uchiha group to head towards the two large warehouses of the Shimura family.

There are three caravans here: one is the Shimura caravan, one is a medical supplies reseller, and the other is a technology supplies reseller from Hiruko.

Uchiha Tetsuka personally led the Uchiha Guard Team on this mission, a group of twenty people.

The Uchiha ninjas are all quite powerful, and all of them have awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan.

The group arrived at a remote place, just in time to see the family's caravan unloading boxes of goods from the carts.

Uchiha Tetsuka's gaze sharpened, and he walked straight toward the caravan.

At first, the caravan members didn't notice, but as Uchiha Tetsuka and the others got closer, an invisible sense of oppression spread out.

Someone in the caravan noticed something amiss and shouted, "What are you Uchiha ninjas doing here?"

Before Uchiha Chiaki could speak, Uchiha Tekka interrupted him sharply, saying, "Stop everything you're doing right now!"

"You've mistaken us for someone else! This is the Shimura family's caravan!!"

"Now that we suspect you of colluding with Iwagakure and selling them contraband, you'd better confess!" Tetsuka said expressionlessly.

"How could that be? We've always been law-abiding citizens since we came home!" Upon hearing this, the caravan manager flew into a rage and began to curse angrily.

"You Uchiha people have some serious nerve, daring to..."

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of cold light appeared, and the Thunder Blade drew a sharp line of light in the air.

Immediately afterwards, a bloodied arm fell to the ground with a thud.

The caravan manager turned deathly pale instantly, clutching his severed arm and wailing in agony, "My arm! My arm! You bastards... Waaah..."

Before he could finish his rant, Uchiha Tekka's eyes turned cold, and he swung his lightning blade again.

He sliced ​​off his tongue in an instant and said coldly, "If you can't speak, then you don't need to speak anymore."

"Go, call everyone out. If they are discovered to be spies from Iwagakure, kill them on the spot!"

A Shimura clan ninja standing nearby turned pale with fright, nodded hurriedly, and then ran off in a panic to call for help.

Uchiha Tetsuka's ruthless appearance terrified even those around him.

Uchiha Tetsuka had previously taken the pills given to him by Hiruko. Although he had not yet broken through to the Mangekyou Sharingan, his strength had risen to the threshold of Kage level after a period of hard training.

Even if his strength isn't top-tier among Kage-level ninjas, it's still Kage-level power, something that no other level of ninja can contend with.

"Tetsuka, won't there be any problems with doing this?" an Uchiha ninja asked worriedly.

"No! Senior Hiruko said long ago that there is no need to show mercy to spies who collude with Iwagakure."

"The Shimura family has no choice but to accept this loss today, whether they like it or not!" Uchiha Tetsuka's gaze was firm, and then he took out a scroll from his pocket.

"This is the intelligence that Lord Hiruko gathered from Iwagakure. It details the locations where our family and Iwagakure have established a base on the border since we started cooperating, as well as the multiple transportation channels that Iwagakure has opened up."

"Lord Hiruko privately instructed me to bring this thing here. Even if that old scoundrel Danzo has a thousand mouths, he won't be able to explain himself later."

Uchiha Tatora took the scroll, glanced at it, and smiled slightly, saying, "Since you're confident, then I won't try to dissuade you."

After everyone was called out, Uchiha Tetsuka ordered, "Load up all the goods and send them to the Security Department. Also, bring everyone to the Security Department for questioning."

"Anyone who dares to run away will be killed on the spot!"

These goods are quite valuable, worth at least 300 million taels in total, enough to make Danzo feel bad for quite some time.

Hiruko intends to destroy all the strongholds outside the village that are connected to the Shimura family.

If anyone in the village asks, just say it was done by a wandering ninja.

Although Konoha Village is not large, I, Uchiha Tetsuhiro, have always acted with integrity and have no fear of the news getting out.

The team consisted of a dozen or so people, plus twenty members of the security department, and a dozen boxes filled with medical and technological supplies.

Such an operation within Konoha Village is quite a large undertaking, and coordinating it would be extremely difficult.

Wherever Uchiha Tetsuka went, he attracted the attention of many villagers.

“Senior, this is the first time I’ve ever made such a big move in the village,” a young ninja said, following behind Uchiha Tetsuka.

This team isn't just made up of people from our Uchiha clan; the Hyuga clan and several other smaller clans have also sent people to help.

Just then, with a "whoosh".

Two masked ninjas suddenly appeared and blocked Uchiha Tekka's way home.

One of them said coldly, "Hand them over to us, or don't even think about leaving."

“These people are involved in the affairs of the Iwagakure village base, and the Root must investigate them.”

"Humph!!!"

Uchiha Tetsuka snorted coldly, his eyes blazing: "Lord Danzo's orders? They don't count with me!"
