Naruto, aspiring to become a well-known figure in the ninja world

A series of things including but not limited to: arranging for the arrest of the gangsters and sending them to the police department, and after they were released from prison, they made a big fuss about the bad reputation of the Uchiha; arranging for the old, weak, sick and disabled to smuggle Uchiha police officers...

They thought of many contingency plans.

There were Uchiha who resisted the rule by force, there were Uchiha who joined forces with the hostile village, and there was also an Uchiha who had a psychopath and wiped out the entire clan...

But no one had expected that Uchiha's reputation, which was as dark as the average skin color of the Hidden Cloud Village, could be reversed.

"It's serious, Danzo! It's too late to investigate the source of the matter." Mitomono pushed his reading glasses: "The naturally evil Uchiha has begun to learn to disguise himself."

"If the ignorant villagers really believe the Uchiha's words, it will be very difficult to eradicate them."

"This is a matter of great importance to the future of Konoha!"

Danzo frowned and asked impatiently: "Of course I know all this, but do you have any solution now?"

"I have a plan to defeat Uchiha--"

"Say it quickly!"

"Anti-Uchiha Consciousness Act!"

Mitomon Yan pushed up his reading glasses and said, "I have summarized that there are four main changes in the current wind direction. For this reason, I decided to break them one by one."

"First, we cannot mention the 'secret ninja' controlling Konoha's will."

"Secondly, we cannot say that 'secret ninjas' are persecuting Uchiha in Konoha."

"Third, you cannot criticize the political clique of the previous generation of Hokage headed by the Sandaime. Criticism is tantamount to secretly colluding with the forces outside the Umurai, which is an act of treason!"

"Fourthly, 'Three Years at Ninja School' is illegal because it cryptically mentions that 'Secret Ninjas' persecuted the Uchiha. Anyone who talks about this book in public will be arrested and sent to the Dark... Root Prison!"

hiss--

Shimura Danzo couldn't help but take a deep breath.

As expected, she is one of his recognized close friends, Mitomon En!

Even though his talent as a ninja is average, he is a powerful weapon against the clan when it comes to Konoha politics, especially when dealing with the Uchiha!

After hearing these outrageous bills, Danzo felt as if he had traveled back to the Warring States Period before the village was established.

Danzo subconsciously looked at his ninja forehead protector. It seemed that what was printed on it was not the emblem of Konoha, but... the emblem of the "Secret Ninja" Root.

"Yan Na...it's a good idea, but it's a bit too extreme for now."

"I am not the Hokage yet. To implement a bill, the Hokage must approve it. Given the Yondaime's personality, it is unrealistic for such a bill to be passed."

"If I were the Hokage, I would definitely adopt your opinion."

Danzo shook his head, as if remembering something, and said angrily:

"Heh, if it weren't for Hiruzen's indecisive nature, how could he have allowed the Uchiha clan to develop to this point."

"If the teacher had chosen me back then..."

Mitomon saw that his old friend was about to reminisce about the past, and quickly stopped him: "What should we do? Without the name of the village, there is no way to prevent the Uchiha from changing their reputation."

"Don't doubt my determination to deal with the Uchiha, Yan."

"When the Root was first established, it was to act in the dark and resolve Konoha's crisis."

"Since the Fourth Hokage's place doesn't work..."

"I will send the Root Ninjas to visit the homes of those small and medium-sized ninja clans."

"As for you, Yan, you are responsible for influencing the communication between the villagers using the previous methods."

_(:з」∠)_Where are you, Piaopiaodaodao

Volume 47: Do what you think is right! Just like I once did!

a few days later.

The negative news about Uchiha suddenly spread among the people of Konoha again.

But this time, the people of Konoha seemed to have come to their senses and no longer allowed their emotions to be swayed by the "secret ninja".

This kind of emotion is like when children are young, the more parents prohibit something, the more the children want to explore it.

Instead of suppressing the positive public opinion about Uchiha, it made the image of the secret ninja more and more negative among the people of Konoha.

"Shh, be careful with your words, this is a topic that cannot be discussed."

"How dare you! You're dying!"

"I heard that the 'Secret Ninja' is offering a reward of 50 taels for those who are colluding with other villages. How dare you get involved in this mess?"

"Who are the secret ninjas? How could such evil forces exist in our free and harmonious Konoha?!"

"Don't even touch this topic!"

An unknown low pressure swept across Konoha again.

In the hearts of the villagers, it seems that a consensus has been reached silently:

【About the secret ninja】

[Don't think about anything; if you must think, don't speak; if you must think and speak, don't write; if you must think, speak and write, don't sign; if you don't follow the above rules, you will probably be taken away directly by the secret ninja]

And in the pubs, teahouses, and ninja tool shops throughout Konoha, this phenomenon seems to be getting worse.

Some kindhearted villagers heard the strangers next to them sighing, and even though they hadn't started to say anything yet, they would immediately step forward to stop them and remind them in cryptic words:

"Stranger, if you don't want to be captured by the secret ninja... please stop this communication against the secret ninja immediately."

But all the changes seemed to have started with a rumor spread by an unknown person——

[Asuma Sarutobi, the son of the retired Sandaime Hokage, took the lead in holding up a banner to speak for the Uchiha ninja, but was eventually arrested by the secret ninja]

[In prison, the Fourth Hokage's advisor Gojo Keizuki patted Asuma on the shoulder and said, "Be bold and do what you think is right! Just like I did before."]

[Sarutobi Asuma looks into the distance with a determined look...]

[An unnamed minister...If a village chooses to stifle the will of the villagers and ninjas to pursue freedom, it is undoubtedly a failed ninja village.]

Gojo Kegetsu and the minister who wished to remain anonymous seemed to have become the spiritual leaders of the villagers of Kimura, and the villagers began to dare to speak the truth.

then--

More and more voices are beginning to emerge among the people.

The old lady at the ramen shop: "...The Secret Ninja is coming to catch me. No one will speak for me anymore."

A passerby in the Ninja Tool Shop: "We are the ones who are punished in the end if we turn a blind eye to the injustice, bullying and persecution of Uchiha!"

A ninja who had been to the police department for reform: "I've been to the police department, the soldiers there are very sweet."

Little Ninja Clan member: "Protecting the Uchiha means protecting ourselves!"

There were also those naive Genin who had just graduated from the ninja school. They carried the confused Sarutobi Asuma, held up banners and began to imitate Gojo Kegetsuki in pursuing the right to speak freely.

"Stop persecuting the Uchiha! Stop persecuting the Uchiha! Stop persecuting the Uchiha!"

……

……

"Fuck the troublemakers! Damn the troublemakers!"

Shimura Danzo's face completely fell, and in extreme anger he picked up the teacup and threw it to the ground.

He didn't understand why the methods that had always been effective in the past were no longer effective.

He had clearly sent the Root Ninja to warn the various major ninja clans, and the Mito clan had clearly spread the word of pressure throughout the village...

At first, the situation developed as he expected, but soon, it seemed to rebound from the bottom...

"You even made such a ridiculous statement as protecting the Uchiha."

"What went wrong? Why didn't the previous methods work?"

"I understand. They will help whoever wins." Mitomon Yan said with an unpleasant expression, "Danzo, regarding the source of the rumors, please read this article "Adaptability"..."

"Someone is secretly pushing this!"

Danzo took the new issue of Iki and the more he looked at it, the angrier he became.

Secret Ninja...oh, should I say Root.

When did the Root arrest Gojo Kegetsu?! Which Fire Country Daimyo commented on this? When did the Yondaime go to the prison to talk to Gojo Kegetsu?!

Nonsense!

It would be fine if it was just nonsense, but the rumor skipped the beginning and the middle, and fast forward to the Fire Nation Minister said...

Not only is his talk complete nonsense, he also quotes people out of context!

For the first time, Danzo felt what it felt like to be persecuted.

"Heh, if I wasn't in Konoha, I would have really been fooled by the nonsense he said in this "Yi Mu"."

Danzo immediately stood up and said, "Our Elbow, Yan, follow me to the Hokage Building to ask the Fourth Hokage for an explanation."

"I don't care what Gojo Jieyue wants to do to other villages."

"But you have defamed my reputation and sabotaged my plan against the Uchiha... This "Yi Mu" must be stopped from being published! And Gojo Jieyue himself must come forward to clarify the contents!"

The angry Danzo Shimura led Mito Kado En to the door of the Hokage's office.

Before I opened the door, I could hear the host and the guest having a cheerful conversation inside.

"Patriarch Fugaku, thank you for representing the Uchiha clan in supporting the development of Konoha."

"These 500 million taels are a 'thank you fee' from the elders of our clan."

Uchiha Fugaku said with emotion.

These past few days, Elder Shanna, a representative of the hawkish faction in the tribe, had the great pleasure of visiting the village.

When he returned to the tribe, his eyes were already red.

He was mumbling something strange: "If outsiders see us, they will think we can't afford it? Give each of us a bottle."

After returning home, he handed over the wealth he had accumulated for most of his life to Fugaku without saying a word, saying that this was the money to buy military ration pills, and asked Fugaku to pass it on to the fourth generation and let the fourth generation make the arrangements.

As for the reason for doing these strange things... after Fugaku saw that the pockets of the ninjas traveling with Elder Setsuna were filled with various kinds of military pills, he roughly understood.

"But...we Uchiha have a request for how this money should be used."

"Please say."

Minato said solemnly that when this village was in urgent need of development funds, the gift from Uchiha was undoubtedly a solution to the urgent problem.

All this is thanks to Gojo Jieyue, who was sitting in the advisory seat with his hands behind his head in an inverted triangle shape.

Fugaku said seriously, "That is... this money cannot be used to build the village's 'secret ninja'."

It is true that the clan and the village have reached a century-long reconciliation, but this does not mean that the Uchiha clan has forgiven Danzo's faction, which is based on the will of the Second Hokage.

"Oh~ Secret Ninja~"

Gojo Jieyue took the initiative in the conversation and assured him:

"That's for sure. We definitely don't encourage secret ninjas."

"This money will be used for construction inside and outside the village. We must do both well..."

Fugaku got a satisfactory reply and nodded repeatedly. If he had not been worried about the possibility of ears on the other side of the wall, he would have wanted to show his eyes to show his trust in the village.

After Uchiha Fugaku left, Danzo Shimura and En Mito Kado walked into the Hokage's office.

Gojo Jieyue was not surprised at their arrival:

"Isn't this Danzo, Elder Mitomon? We just held a discussion meeting. Guess who was not invited..."

"Humph, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."

Shimura Danzo walked quickly to the front of Namikaze Minato and said, "Fourth Daeme, I am here only to remind you of one thing."
