The legend of Fifth Uchiha - Chapter 8
Chapter 8 Sannin Name
Konoha 38 years
The Second Shinobi War is intensifying, and the battle between Sunagakure and the Rain Shinobi Village has ended. Hanzō of the Salamander launches an attack on the Konoha Shinobi who remain in the Rain Country.
Due to the attack by Hanzo, the Konoha Shinobi stationed in the Land of Rain suffered heavy losses. Hanzō of the Salamander made a bold statement that no ninja from any country would be allowed to set foot in the Land of Rain.
Although the Konoha Shinobi suffered heavy losses in the attack, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade shone brightly in the Rain Country and survived the hands of Hanzō of the Salamander. Hanzō of the Salamander, who was known as a demigod, retreated to the Rain Shinobi Village instead.
The name of Sannin spread throughout the countries.
The Uchiha, a prominent family in Konoha and the largest clan in the ninja world, has almost no members active on the battlefield.
During the three most intense years of the Ninja World War, all the Uchiha members stayed safely in the rear area and were paid to do the important job of cleaning up the vendors in Konoha Village.
…
“Chidori Flow!”
Lightning shot out from Uchiha Naraku’s entire body, like an electric net, knocking down all the surrounding wooden stakes.
“Huh, Chidori Flow has finally been developed successfully.”
Naraku wore a black kimono with yellow rice ears embroidered on it, and a purple cardigan over it.
At this time, Naraku was 16 years old, over 1.8 meters tall, quite tall and handsome.
Naraku has been in charge of the Uchiha clan for nearly three years, and his every move already exudes the aura of someone in a high position.
While Naraku was training, he was also worried about the recent rumors in Konoha.
There have been a lot of bad rumors circulating in Konoha Village recently, criticizing the Uchiha clan for not daring to go to the battlefield and only daring to bully some villagers.
It is impossible to find out when this kind of rumor spread.
Naraku knew that it was time to dispel the influence of such rumors.
Naraku goes to the Hokage office with Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Rift.
Hokage Office
Third Generation held their pipes and puffed out smoke.
Anbu, who was on guard duty, instantly entered the Third Generation’s office and reported to them, who nodded.
As soon as Anbu left, Uchiha Naraku, along with two escort ninjas, opened the door and came to the Third Hokage’s office.
“Hokage-sama, the Second World War is now in full swing and the Konoha Shinobi have suffered heavy losses. As a member of Konoha, we, the Uchiha clan, request to join the war!”
Uchiha Naraku is concise and to the point, and speaks directly to his intentions.
The Third Hokage laughed.
“Hahaha, Naraku, it’s great that you have this intention, but fighting outside is the same as fighting in the village.
There are countless spies from other countries lurking in the village, and the Uchiha Guard is needed to capture them.
This is a very important mission, no less important than the frontal battlefield!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen happily praised Naraku, but explained the situation to Naraku and simply ignored Naraku’s request to join the battle.
At this time, Konoha was powerful, with complete ninjas of all levels.
The high-level advisory group Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō were still the heirs of the Will of Fire who worked hard for Konoha.
At this time, they were truly dedicated to Konoha, and were far from being reluctant to give up power like in the later period.
“But the Uchiha clan has a reputation in the village of bullying the villagers but being afraid of the battlefield, which has damaged the reputation of the Uchiha clan!”
“Ninja, this is a job that requires patience. It’s normal that the villagers don’t understand you. Because of this, you can’t slack off in your work! The security force was established to protect the villagers!”
Third Generation blew out a smoke ring and said seriously.
Usually the Third Generation has a warm and sunny look, but when it comes to serious matters, they occasionally become serious, which makes people feel their heroic style.
“Yes, I understand!”
“Well, Konoha’s safety requires you!”
“yes!”
The leader spoke, and Naraku had to agree.
Uchiha Naraku and others retreat.
Sarutobi Hiruzen stood at the window, expressionless, watching the three men leave.
“Chief, the rumor in the village is that we Uchiha are cowards. We asked the Third Generation to fight but they didn’t allow us to. Doesn’t that prove the rumor?”
Uchiha gnashed his teeth and wished he could burn those who slandered Uchiha to ashes.
Although Uchiha Yashiro didn’t say anything, he looked at Naraku, obviously waiting for Naraku to reply.
“Whether we Uchiha are cowards or not is not up to these villagers to say. It’s just slander by those with ulterior motives. Lord Hokage is right. It’s normal for the villagers to not understand. That’s why we need to be patient.”
Naraku’s words made the two very dissatisfied.
“Chief, we Uchiha’s reputation cannot be trampled upon by these villagers! I think it would be better to mobilize the tribesmen to capture those who slandered us, and use the Sharingan to torture them to find out where the rumor came from!”
“No, that would only confirm the rumor that we only know how to bully civilians and don’t dare to go to the battlefield.”
Yashiro and Ritsuji looked at each other, and both saw the raging fire in the other’s eyes.
“Don’t be so impatient. I have my own way to handle this.”
Uchiha Naraku said lightly.
When the two heard that their clan leader had a solution, their eyes lit up. In the past three years, the Uchiha clan has become more and more united under Naraku’s governance.
Yashiro is in charge of the affairs department, managing the account and commission money, and can see that the money in the safe is increasing. As the elite Jōnin in the clan, Yashiro sometimes goes to the Ninjutsu Academy to teach Fire Style Ninjutsu and the use of Sharingan.
The eighth generation has a sense of pride in the development of the clan.
Li Tu also joined the Affairs Department from the Artisan Department and the Cleaning Department, and the two service departments were handed over to other ordinary tribesmen. In the Affairs Department, he was responsible for the nursing home and the orphanage.
The old are well taken care of, the young are well taken care of. All the tribesmen, whether they are ninjas or ordinary people.
They have all completely accepted the leadership and control of the Clan Affairs Office, including the original heads and elders of various Uchiha factions, who have lost all their power after three years of subtle influence.
Their children and nephews do not need the elders to speak for them. If they have any dissatisfaction or other issues, they can go to the Office of Affairs to report it themselves. As for learning ninjutsu and receiving salaries, they do not have to look at the elders’ faces.
The Assistant Council is where the elders live. They have no power. As assistants to the chief, they have the right to make decisions about the clan affairs hall and give suggestions to the chief. They have power, but Naraku can completely ignore their decisions and suggestions.
It has been nearly three years since Naraku became the captain’s advisor to the security force. He has not spent much time on the security force. Now that the clan affairs are handled by the Affairs Office and the Auxiliary Office, it doesn’t really matter whether Naraku shows up or not.
The job is just to sign and stamp, or to care for the tribesmen and investigate their living conditions.
I can now let go of the work and just have the title of patriarch.
In three years, Naraku’s strength has improved rapidly. At this age, it is the time to grow taller and improve in strength.
And Naraku did not go to the battlefield to carry out any lurking or assassination missions.
He ate well and slept well in the tribe, and grew to over 1.8 meters tall.
He also had plenty of time to study ninjutsu. In three years, he had a general understanding of the sealing ninjutsu scroll given to him by Uzumaki, and was able to perform some simple sealing techniques. He also successfully developed the Chidori Style.
Naraku’s ability is also among the elite among Jōnin’s team.
