Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 99 Hanzo the Salamander, Attacks! Mitokado Homura Suffers a Crushing Defeat!

Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Fusei sat in the main seat, flanked by his son Uchiha Fugaku and his trusted sixth elder, Uchiha Rokugo.

"Father, interfering in the medical association?"

Fugaku Uchiha stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief, hoping his father had just said something wrong.

"That's right!"

Uchiha Tomishiro coldly shattered Fugaku's illusions.

"This is the Hokage's will, and also the village's decision! The Uchiha should approve of the village's decision. Sixth Elder, what do you think?"

The Sixth Elder said with a satisfied look, "The Clan Chief is right!"

He quickly echoed Uchiha Tomishi's opinion.

Most members of the Uchiha clan are single-minded and war fanatics.

However, under the stimulation of the Sharingan or due to innate mutations, alternative ways of thinking will always emerge.

For example, the Sixth Elder, who held a pessimistic and war-weary mindset.

He loathed war to the extreme and was a fanatical opponent of conflict.

His solution was to completely align himself with the Hokage's faction, place his spiritual trust in the Hokage, and regard the Hokage as a god!

As for who the Hokage is and what his ideology is, that's not important.

The Hokage's decision is what matters!

The other elders all disapproved of this attitude.

Only when Uchiha Tomio was accepting of his confidants and there was really no room for criticism did he take over this faction.

There's nothing we can do; his foundation is too shallow.

Without Uchiha Hata's opposition, and without Uchiha Yuuki's medical association, he could still mobilize most of the Uchiha and manage the police department.

What now?

The medical association offered a complete package of benefits, positions, and compensation, leaving him utterly defenseless.

"Fugaku, you're still a child, what do you know? The Hokage's decisions are definitely not wrong!" The Sixth Elder simply reprimanded Fugaku.

"The Medical Association is, after all, the brainchild of Uchiha Yuuki. If the clan blindly intervenes, it might cause dissatisfaction..." Fugaku forced himself to come up with a reason.

"What dissatisfaction could there be?" the Sixth Elder retorted passionately. "For so many years, the Uchiha clan has always acted this way, always basing their decisions on the Hokage and the clan head. Are you implying that the village's decisions are incorrect?"

Fugaku Uchiha stopped pretending and couldn't be bothered to give this mentally unstable sixth brother a friendly look.

He turned his gaze back to his father.

Dad, how are you feeling?

Uchiha Tomioka was certainly not naive; he didn't have the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Reasoning with people won't work!

"Lord Hokage, please grant me a special grant to resolve the internal problems of the Medical Association. I will also contribute additional funds..."

Then, his gaze fell on the Sixth Elder.

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Elder excitedly chimed in, "Great! I'll definitely contribute money and effort!"

Fugaku Uchiha felt a chill run down his spine. "Father, what are you doing?"

He helped the Third Hokage and destroyed his own family's business.

And the Third Hokage, interfering in the internal affairs of the Uchiha clan?

Do you think there's no one in the Uchiha clan?

Fugaku Uchiha gritted his teeth and said, "I see."

...

"I see!"

Yuuki's gaze shifted to the unicorn beetle, where he overheard the clan leader's plan.

Chieftain, are you in such a hurry to send money?

And also, Lord Hokage.

The local Hokage is so rude.

How dare they bully a child like me who is fighting for the village in the outside world!

Yuuki was not worried at all about problems arising from the medical association.

If things go wrong, Sarutobi Noboru might be transferred back to the village ahead of schedule because of this stunt!

Just because—

The medical association is a business that's losing money beyond belief!

All of these plans were devised by Yuuki!

After his first speech, he realized that the medical association would definitely arouse the Hokage's vigilance, and might even allow him to steal the fruits of others' labor.

Therefore, he set up countermeasures such as patent fees, research investment funds, high salaries for the chairman, and high salaries for employees!

A large amount of money flowed into his and other executives' pockets.

At the same time, he used the income from the commercial street in the association building to support the medical association.

Even the medical association itself only has expenses and no income!

You can't accomplish anything just by controlling the medical association!

Let's switch gears back!

After a day's journey, Yuuki and Tsunade arrived at the battlefield in the Land of Rain.

"what's the situation?"

As Tsunade approached the camp, she saw that it was filled with injured ninjas.

Tsunade grabbed Yuuki and rushed into the command center. As soon as she entered, she saw Mitokado Homura, who looked exhausted.

"Where are the medical ninja squad? Why aren't they treating the wounded?"

Mitomon Yan's face was stiff, his lips trembled for a long time, and he couldn't say a word.

Nara Shikazuki, the strategist standing to the side, had no choice but to step forward and face Tsunade's oppressive aura to explain what had happened.

"Tsunade, the battle lines have retreated to the border of the Land of Fire, and everything was peaceful until Hanzo of the Salamander, the leader of Amegakure, suddenly led a team to launch a surprise attack on the camp!"

"A raid on the camp? They even broke in? What are you doing?" Tsunade asked in disbelief.

"Hanzo the Salamander... he's too strong." Mitokado Homura added, "His poison mist is too powerful! Even a Jonin can only withstand it for a short time; if they inhale too much, they'll die instantly!"

Mitokado was overcome with grief. In the first half of his life, he had fought many battles, if not many merits.

As a result, in a battle with Hanzo the Salamander, he was almost turned into a new ninja egg!

He could only complain to himself.

Hanzo the Salamander has no martial ethics. I retreated to the border, and he still came to attack!

The village and the capital are watching from the rear.

Rain Ninja poisoned a large number of people, what kind of nonsense is that?

Mitokado had various reasons to explain why he suffered such a crushing defeat; they were all objective reasons, not a single excuse.

But what's the use?
