Naruto: The Fifth Hokage Is Naruto's Uncle

"This work is so profitable! Just cursing the demon fox can get me five thousand ryō!"

"Hahaha! Even if I don't get any money, I will still curse the demon fox."

"I wonder if that masked ninja will fulfill his promise…"

That masked, cold and machine-like ninja came to their mind, and the civilians shuddered in unison.

That guy was definitely a terrifying ninja.

'He probably would. We have completed the task, so they should not refuse to pay us.'

The leading civilian thought for a while.

If he guessed correctly, the other party should come from a very secretive but powerful organization in the village.

There was no need for such an organization to deceive them for such a small amount of money.

While they were talking, they saw several black shadows coming out, one after another, blocking them in the middle.

"You are being arrested for spreading rumors wantonly and disrupting the order of the village. Follow us quietly."

The speaker had a messy hedgehog head, a serious face, and a pair of eyes that narrowed slightly while looking at them.

"Are you kidding...? We didn't do anything!"

"There are so many people cursing at the demon fox, why are you only arresting a few of us?!"

"That's right! Why only a few of us are arrested!?"

The civilians in question recognized the other party's identity, Uchiha Police Force.

However, there was still a trace of hope in their heart.

After all, the people who recruited them to spread rumors were not ordinary ninjas.

"You dare to quibble! Just shut up and follow us!"

After a rough capture, these civilians were pressed to the ground, unable to move.

"We were wrong! Please spare us!"

Only then did these civilians realize that they obviously had the wrong idea, and started crying bitterly and begged for mercy.

The Uchiha, who were called crazy, were not like that young demon fox kid.

They really know how to beat people and show them their place.

"Stop!"

A few sounds of braking wind echoed and several Root members suddenly appeared, surrounding both the Uchiha and the civilians.

When the captured civilians saw the sudden appearance of the Roots, they cried for help as if they had seen their savior.

"Sir, help us, we don't want to be taken to Konoha Prison!"

The two Uchiha glanced at the surrounding Root members calmly. Even though the other side outnumbered them, they showed no fear at all.

"What? When did Roots had the right to interfere with the Security Department's affairs?"

The tone was laced with sarcasm, and clearly provocative.

As an Uchiha, what they hated the most was Danzo and the Roots under his command.

These guys were always thinking about how to target Uchiha!

*Tap*

*Tap*

The dull sound of tapping on the stone slabs was getting closer and closer, and in the shadow of the alley, a figure on crutches gradually emerged. A face that was covered with scars and looked hideous and terrifying in the shadows gradually became clear.

"Danzo-sama!"

The four Root members knelt down on one knee at the same time, greeting Danzo respectfully.

"The Root has no right to interfere, so what about me? Do I have the right to interfere?"

Danzo simply ignored those Root members, and stared at the Uchiha in front of him with a pair of sinister eyes under the scar.

Faced with this terrifying sense of oppression, even the always unruly Uchiha clan members couldn't help but become nervous.

The oppression brought by Danzo was too great for them.

It's not something ordinary Uchiha people like them could bear.

The atmosphere was becoming so suppressed that it almost solidified but suddenly broke through the oppression with a sudden voice.

"Danzo, do you want to step in as my people perform their duties?"

When the two surrounded Uchiha heard this voice, their eyes suddenly lit up and they looked back in surprise.

"Elder Setsuna!"

Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the slowly approaching figure.

The same cane, the same old wrinkled face, but the difference is...

Those dark eyes that exuded a hawkishness and ambition that did not match his age.

Uchiha Setsuna.

Among the Uchiha clan, this hawk elder's status was second only to Fugaku.

"Danzo, these people are maliciously spreading rumors and disrupting the order of the village. In order to maintain the security and tranquility of Konoha, we, the Uchiha Police Force, will take these person back for questioning. Is there any problem with that?"

The voice was neither humble nor had any haste in it, rather it had calmness and even had a hint of persecution.

But these words were enough to stop Danzo.

If there were only those two Uchiha, he could overwhelm them and take a few people away by force.

However, Setsuna arrived and the situation changed.

This hawkish elder had terrifyingly high voice and qualifications.

Claiming to have inherited Uchiha Madara's will, he once planned a coup during the reign of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

Although the matter was exposed and he was arrested and imprisoned.

But his ambition had not been worn away, and it has still been dormant to this day.

Two old men with canes, whose combined age exceeds 120 years, faced each other at the entrance of this dark alley.

Finally, Danzo turned around and started walking away with his cane.

Setsuna had a special status, representing almost the entire Uchiha Hawks.

Now was not the time to break up.

'Humph! Curse seals should have been placed on those civilians from the beginning.'

Once the mission was completed there was not so much to do except to kill them directly.

However, even if Uchiha tortured and found out that the Roots were guiding them, it would have no effect.

'Uchiha are inherently evil.'

'Their words simply cannot be trusted.'

'Hiruzen would know how to choose.'

Seeing Danzo leaving, the Root members also disappeared with a *whoosh* sound, and immediately followed him.

The civilians who were caught by the Uchiha were instantly ashen-eyed.

Danzo left.

They were going to fall into the hands of these crazy Uchihas.

What will happen to them?

But what they don't know was that if they had fallen into Danzo's hands, their fate would have only become even worse.

Maybe, there won't even be any bones left of their bodies.

"Setsuna-sama, why should we help that person?"

After hesitating for a moment, one of the Uchiha who was following Setsuna considered his words and finally asked this question.

Although the other party's name was not directly specified.

But the people present knew the other party's identity who was being spoken about.

Namikaze Mirai!

Danzo stirred up public opinion precisely because he wanted to deal with Mirai.

The purpose of Setsuna's arrest of these civilians who spread rumors was also to help Mirai.

It was a silent confrontation.

A competition between two major forces surrounding Mirai.

However, these Uchiha people couldn't understand why the always arrogant Setsuna elder would personally help Mirai.

Uchiha and Mirai don't seem to have much overlaps, right?

"You don't understand."

Setsuna's dark eyes looked deeply at them.

"That guy is definitely not a normal person."

"If we can cooperate with him, maybe the plight of the Uchiha clan over the years can really be changed."

Since the last time Mirai went to the Uchiha clan, Setsuna looked at him in a positive light.

Not long ago, Mirai fought against killed many Root members under Danzo's command and even beat Danzo to almost death.

The location of the battle was not far from the Uchiha clan's land. He sent his clansmen to investigate, and the information he got surprised him even more.

Mirai was even stronger than he was three years ago.

This conclusion both surprised and delighted him.

'That weak guy Fugaku was still hesitating.'

As a hawk, he would never give up as long as he sees a chance!

Mirai had shown his worth.

He also had to respond.

He wanted to seize the future with his own hands rather than leaving it to fate.
