Chapter 56 Hiruzen: What the Hell Is Uchiha Doing? Revenge Is so Obvious!
Chief Shimura wiped the sweat from his head and said hesitantly:
"Sir, since early this morning, the police department has been like crazy, arresting our clansmen everywhere, and the reasons are nonsense.
Some people asked to go to the police department for investigation, and some were suspected of crimes.
The most serious ones were Jiro and Huirong, who actually attacked members of the police department in the street."
"The family wanted to visit the arrested clansmen, but they were rejected by the police department."
"So you think the Uchiha is taking revenge, because they dare not target me, so they target the Shimura clan, right?"
Danzo looked at Chief Shimura coldly.
"Haha, Uchiha is really getting backwards."
Without giving Chief Shimura a chance to continue speaking, Danzo sneered:
"You go, go directly to the Hokage office building to find Hiruzen, report this matter, and Hiruzen will deal with it."
The Third Hokage would never sit idly by and watch such blatant revenge.
At most, they can make trouble with the Shimura clan, but in the end, the Uchiha will suffer.
Revenge?
Do you really think that the village has a high tolerance limit for you Uchiha?
Stupid.
You are also stupid. Such a trivial matter, you actually came to me at this important moment!
You can't even handle such a small matter, you are just a waste!
While mocking the Uchiha in his heart, Danzo did not forget to scold the family members.
"Clan leader, what did Danzo say?"
When the Shimura clan leader returned to the clan, Yu Mu came to meet him.
"Let us handle it ourselves, go to the Hokage office building to report to the Hokage first."
He made a special visit to seek help, but in return he was just a sneer.
The Shimura clan leader felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that Danzo had overlaid his personal interests on the family.
It seemed that the Shimura clan was dispensable, and what he, Danzo, had was the most important.
It would be fine if Danzo was just selfish, but he accepted the support of the Shimura clan and did not take the clan seriously.
He was a typical person who forgot the hard work of the cook after eating.
It was also thanks to the Third Hokage and the two advisory elders that they had a conscience and supported the Shimura clan openly and secretly.
Otherwise, if the Shimura clan relied on people like Danzo to support the clan, I am afraid that the Shimura clan would be exterminated without the benefit of Danzo's support.
Waving his hand, the Shimura clan leader said:
"That's it. I'll go to the Hokage office building. You notify the clan members not to panic. This matter will be over soon. Uchiha can't keep making trouble with us."
Although Danzo's attitude was very bad, at least it gave the Shimura clan a reassurance.
The Shimura clan leader also believed that if the Third Hokage came forward, he would be able to handle this matter well and warn Uchiha not to mess around again.
What Shimura clan leader didn't consider was that the Third Hokage was busy with other things at the moment, so how could he have the time to take care of such a trivial matter?
Even if he was willing to take care of it, the police department would at most release those who were not guilty.
As for those who were charged, it would not be so easy to release them.
After leaving the clan, Shimura clan leader hurried to the Hokage office building.
The Third Hokage was sitting in the Hokage's office, worrying. He wanted to deal with the Daimyo Mansion's affairs at the lowest cost and in the simplest way, but Jiraiya was stuck here.
He didn't want to stay in Konoha all the time and wanted to take Naruto away, but the Third Hokage didn't agree to let him take Naruto away.
Jiraiya rarely showed stubbornness, but once he was stubborn, the Third Hokage had no choice.
"Hokage, Shimura clan leader wants to see you."
"What is he doing here?"
Because he needed to think about things, the Third Hokage specifically told the Anbu guards outside that they needed to notify him first if someone came to see him.
"Let him in."
Putting aside a bunch of troubles, the Third Hokage sorted out his mood, sat on the chair, and picked up his pipe.
"Hokage-sama."
Entering the Hokage's office and closing the door, Shimura clan leader bowed respectfully.
The Third Hokage, who was still full of worry in the last second, smiled in the next second:
"Don't be so polite, I am also busy with the affairs of the village, so I let the Anbu guard outside."
"This is all right. Hokage-sama is busy with the affairs of the village, and he should have time to rest and think quietly."
Shimura clan leader flattered a little.
The smile on the Third Hokage's face gradually became brighter.
"You, this mouth is still the same. It would be great if Danzo was so worry-free."
"Haha, Hokage-sama is joking."
When it comes to Danzo, Shimura clan leader dare not speak nonsense, and can only laugh dryly.
After a while of greetings, the Third Hokage said seriously:
"So, Shimura clan leader, do you have something to report to me?"
Finally, the main show began.
The Shimura clan leader immediately put on an angry face and began to accuse the Uchiha clan and the police department:
"Hokage, you have to stand up for our Shimura clan. This Uchiha is too much. He arrested our clan members for no reason and locked them up in the police department, and did not allow the family to visit."
Are you kidding me?
The Third Hokage was confused.
I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be like this?
The police department arrested the Shimura clan members. Is it worth it for you, the clan leader of a ninja family, to come to the Hokage office building to complain?
Which family has not been arrested?
"It's just that the Shimura clan members were arrested?"
From the smile that slowly disappeared from his face, it was clear that the Third Hokage was unhappy.
He thought that the Shimura clan leader hurried to see him to report something important, but it turned out that it was because a clan member was arrested.
It was also thanks to the Third Hokage's patience. If it were someone with a bad temper, he would probably have cursed.
"Hokage, it's not what you think."
Seeing that the Third Hokage had misunderstood, the Shimura clan leader explained anxiously:
"Since this morning, the police department has been targeting the Shimura clan. Many clan members have been arrested or taken away for various strange charges and demands. There are even people who attacked the police chief in the street. More than a dozen people were arrested in one day."
"It's really clearly targeting us!!!"
There may be many reasons why the clan members were arrested by the police department, but it's not right to arrest more than a dozen people in one day.
There must be something fishy here.
What the hell is Uchiha doing?
Yesterday, he promised that he would change, and he would change, but today he started to get worse.
Wait!
Is it because of what happened yesterday?
The Third Hokage was not a fool, and he quickly connected the events of yesterday.
It seemed excusable, after all, Danzo's identity was too sensitive, and Uchiha could not directly target Danzo.
Since Danzo could not be targeted, then the Shimura clan would be the target.
Anyway, Danzo was from this family.
After figuring this out, the Third Hokage began to appease the Shimura clan leader:
"You go back and wait for news first. I will ask Uchiha Fugaku to come and explain this matter in person, and I believe there will be a result soon."
The Third Hokage was too lazy to care about ordinary things, especially now.
But Uchiha was a little too much. If he didn't stop it, it might be the Shimura clan today, and it might be Utatane, Mito, or even Sarutobi tomorrow.
