Konoha: Uchiha's Gorgeous Rebellion

"Are you wondering why I want you to monitor Uchiha Yuan?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

"Yes, Lord Sandaime; could it be that the Anbu discovered some unusual movements of Uchiha Yuan?"

Uchiha Itachi said with a serious face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped his fingers on the booklet spread out in front of him. On the booklet were all the relevant records about Uchiha Yuan's meeting with Naruto. Even the patrol routes of Uchiha Yuan and his party in recent days were recorded in detail.

Now the matter of Uchiha Yuan killing three Anbu ninjas has ended; however, the situation of Uchiha's contact with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has just begun.

No one knows whether the Uchiha clan has realized Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. If they have, what actions will they take?

These are all things Sarutobi Hiruzen needs to consider.

The one who came into contact with Naruto was Uchiha Fubuki. If the Uchiha intended to come into contact with Naruto, the only possible candidate was Uchiha Fubuki.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen needs Uchiha Itachi to monitor Uchiha Yuan's movements for a period of time in the future.

Thinking about when he went to see Naruto this afternoon and he saw him struggling to clean Uchiha Yuan's paint-stained vest, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but frown.

Naruto is going to return the vest, and naturally he will come into contact with Uchiha Yuan again.

This was something he didn't want to see, but he had no reason to stop Naruto.

He had suggested that he should return the vest, but Naruto rejected it without hesitation.

"Itachi, the will of fire you possess is invaluable. I feel that you are worthy of the village's trust, so I have decided to tell you the village's top secret news."

Sarutobi Hiruzen decided not to hide Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki anymore, and at the same time used rhetoric to win over Uchiha Itachi.

"Sandaime-sama!"

Uchiha Itachi was indeed deeply moved by this, and became even more convinced of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Itachi, you must be wondering why the Anbu suddenly attacked Uchiha Yuan."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a few puffs of his cigarette and continued, "Those Anbu are responsible for protecting Naruto in secret."

"Naruto? Uzumaki Naruto, the demon fox!"

Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Yes, I don't know when Naruto's name as a demon fox appeared. Although Naruto is very naughty, he is a kind child."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled with a caring expression on his face and said, "Naruto is the village's most important asset. He is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"The Nine-Tails... Jinchūriki!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi could no longer remain calm and spoke out in surprise.

At this moment, the night a few years ago emerged in his mind, the terrifying nine-tailed beast with the power to destroy the world.

It was also after that night that the Uchiha clan's situation in Konoha underwent a drastic change.

Thinking of the Nine-Tails and then of the Uchiha, Uchiha Itachi suddenly understood why the Third Hokage wanted him to monitor Uchiha Yuan.

Uchiha and Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, when the two are linked together, it is indeed an extremely sensitive issue.

"Itachi, can you keep Naruto's identity a secret?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked directly at Uchiha Itachi and asked.

"Sir, I will never let anyone else know the identity of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Uchiha Itachi quickly lowered his head and said with a firm look on his face.

At the same time, he was very touched that Sarutobi Hiruzen told him such an important secret, and his trust in Sarutobi Hiruzen increased even more.

"Itachi, I believe in you. The future of the village needs your strength to protect it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled.

A few days later, at the gate of Konoha Village.

Shenyue Chuyun and Gang Zitie stood by the side of the road, looking dejectedly at the security team members who were questioning the people entering and leaving the gate.

Now, the Konoha Gate is jointly managed by the Guard and them.

However, the security team suddenly changed its usual behavior and became more powerful, and most of the checks at the village gate were carried out by the security team.

They, representing the village, were pushed aside by the guards and could only watch.

Shen Yue Chu Yun and Gang Zitie's eyes fell on a figure standing at the gate. They knew very well that the security team became stronger because of his return.

Just then, a group of Uchiha arrived at the gate, preparing to leave the village.

Gang Zitie and Shen Yue Chu Yun recognized this team of Uchiha. They were ordinary members of the Uchiha clan.

The leader is a young man named Uchiha Oishi, who is a businessman. Every time he leaves the village, he brings back a large number of deep-sea fish. These nutritious deep-sea fish are very popular among the ninjas in the village.

I saw that the guard team members just glanced at Uchiha Oishi and others and let them go.

Seeing this, Kamijutsuki Izumo and Gang Zitetsu frowned, then decided to record the matter and report it to the Hokage's office.

At the gate of Konoha, Uchiha Yuan and Uchiha Daishi looked at each other, then nodded slightly and watched them leave.

Suddenly, Uchiha Yuan frowned slightly and turned his head to look in one direction.

He was keenly aware of a sense of being watched, and this sense of being watched was extremely hidden and had been following him all this time.

[Hmph, I'm being monitored, but why? ]

Uchiha Yuan was a little confused.

He looked in the direction from which the sense of voyeurism came, but found nothing unusual.

[The guy who's monitoring this time is quite powerful. Who could he be to hide himself so well? ]

Withdrawing his gaze, Uchiha Yuan flashed and moved from the gate to the main road leading to the village.

Immediately afterwards, several figures appeared behind Uchiha Yuan and followed him into the village.

Following the route of his previous patrols, Uchiha Yuan inspected the Konoha Village.

"Lord Yuan."

When Uchiha Yuan was patrolling through the Konoha shopping street, a voice calling out was heard.

Uchiha Yuan looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Akimichi Kai waving at him with a smile on the second floor of the Akimichi family barbecue restaurant. Beside him were several companions from the Yamanaka clan and the Nara clan.

These people looked at Uchiha Yuan with complicated eyes.

"Hai, long time no see."

Uchiha Yuan smiled and said.

"Master Yuan, a few days ago, Kino told me that he wanted to find time to visit you."

Qiu Daokai jumped down from the second floor and came in front of Uchiha Yuan and said.

After greeting Akimichi Kai, Uchiha Yuan said to Akimichi Kai: "Hai, thank you."

Qiu Daohai asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Master Yuan, why do you say thank you to me?"

Uchiha Yuan glanced around and said with a smile: "When everyone is avoiding me and the Uchiha, you are still willing to meet me."

Qiu Daohai glanced at both sides of the street and could clearly see many people looking at Uchiha Yuan and his group with disgust and dissatisfaction.

He said, "Master Yuan, these guys are just a bunch of fools. Only I, who fought alongside you on the battlefield, know what a reliable companion you are."

Chapter 317

After some greetings, Uchiha Yuan separated from Akimichi Kai and continued today's patrol.

When Qiu Daohai returned to the second floor of the barbecue restaurant, he was met with complicated gazes.

"Hai, you'd better keep your distance from Uchiha Yuan from now on."

A man with the Nara clan crest on his clothes spoke.

"Yes, Hai, you should know that the Uchiha clan has always been feared by the village. If you have too much contact with Uchiha Yuan, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction from the village."

A ninja from the Yamanaka clan also spoke.

"Two days ago, when Hai-ichi and Shikaku-sama were playing chess, I heard their conversation; it seems that the Uchiha and the village have had a conflict again recently."

"Oh! Do you know what happened?"

"Haichi and Shikaku-sama don't seem to know what happened either. They only know that there have been frequent movements of the village's Anbu in the past few days. But one thing is clear, the conflict seems to be related to Uchiha Yuan.

Lord Shikaku told Lord Haiichi that Elder Danzo and Lord Sandai had a quarrel over how to deal with Uchiha Yuan. "

Hearing his friends' words, Qiu Daohai smiled innocently, reached out and grabbed a handful of barbecue, and said while eating: "I believe in Master Yuan, he is a trustworthy partner."

On the other side, Uchiha Yuan and his group left the shopping street and came to a park.

When Uchiha Yuan and others passed by the outside of the park, the sounds of playing and fighting in the park suddenly stopped, and the children who were originally playing happily looked at Uchiha Yuan and others with fear on their faces.

In a corner of the park, a small figure sat on a swing with his head down, looking lonely and desolate.

This figure was none other than the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Naruto.

Carrying the name of 'demon fox', no one was willing to play with Naruto; he was isolated and rejected by everyone and could only hide in a corner of the park and look enviously at the children playing around him.

The sudden quietness of the park made Naruto look up in confusion, and then he saw Uchiha Yuan.

Naruto's eyes lit up, and he jumped off the swing and chased after Uchiha Yuan.

The children in the park had just breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Uchiha Yuan and his group walk away, but when they saw Naruto running towards Uchiha Yuan, they were all shocked.

"What does that demon fox want to do?!"

"It's not like the village will tolerate the mischief of the murderous Uchiha."

"It's a good opportunity for those evil Uchiha guys to teach that annoying demon fox a lesson!"

The sound of hurried footsteps came from far away and gradually approached from behind, but Uchiha Yuan and others did not look back, nor did they stop, but continued to walk slowly.

When Naruto was chasing after him, Uchiha Yuan discovered him; however, his attention at this time was not on Naruto, but on several obscure auras around him.
