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 have been acting like crazy, arresting our people everywhere, and the reasons they use are ridiculous.

Some are required to go to the police department for investigation and are suspected of committing a crime.

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 members, but was rejected by the police department."

"So you think the Uchiha are taking revenge because they don't dare to target me, so they target the Shimura clan, right?"

Danzo looked coldly at the Shimura clan leader.

"Haha, the Uchiha are really going backwards."

Without giving Chief Shimura a chance to continue speaking, Danzo sneered:

"Go ahead and go directly to the Hokage's office building to find Hiruzen and report this matter. Hiruzen will handle it."

The Third Hokage would never sit idly by and watch such blatant revenge.

At most, they would cause trouble for the Shimura clan, but in the end, the Uchiha would be the ones who would suffer.

revenge?

Do you really think the village's tolerance limit for you Uchiha is still high?

Stupid.

You are so stupid. For such a trivial matter, you come to me at this important moment!

If you can't even handle such a small thing, you are such a waste!

While mocking Uchiha in his heart, Danzo also did not forget to scold his family members.

"Patriarch, what did Danzo-sama say?"

When Chief Shimura returned to the clan land, Yumu came to greet him.

"Let us handle it ourselves and report to the Hokage first in the Hokage's office building."

I visited him on purpose to seek help, but all I got in return was a cold shoulder.

Patriarch Shimura felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that Danzo put his personal interests above the family's.

It seemed as if the Shimura clan was dispensable and what Danzo had was the most important.

It would be fine if Danzo was just selfish, but while he accepted the support of the Shimura clan, he did not take his family seriously.

It’s typical that after eating, one forgets the hard work of the cook.

It was also thanks to the Third Hokage and the two advisory elders who were more conscientious and provided considerable support to the Shimura clan both overtly and covertly.

Otherwise, if the family relied on someone like Danzo to support them, the Shimura clan would probably be wiped out without even getting any benefit from Danzo's support.

Waving his hand, Chief Shimura said:

"That's all. I'll go to the Hokage office building and you can inform the clan members not to panic. This matter will be over soon. The Uchiha can't keep making things difficult for us."

Although Danzo's attitude was very bad, at least it gave the Shimura clan some reassurance.

The Shimura clan leader also believed that if the Third Hokage came forward, he would be able to handle the matter properly, and warned the Uchiha not to mess around again.

What Patriarch Shimura didn't take into consideration was that the Third Hokage was currently busy with other things, so how could he have the time to take care of such trivial matters?

Even if he is willing to take care of it, the police department will at most release those who are not guilty.

As for those who have been charged, it is not so easy to release them.

After leaving the clan, Clan Chief Shimura hurried to the Hokage's office building.

The Third Hokage was sitting in the Hokage's office, worrying. He originally wanted to handle the matter of the Daimyo's Mansion with the least cost and the simplest method, but Jiraiya was stuck here.

He didn't want to stay in Konoha forever and wanted to take Naruto away, but the Third Hokage disagreed with him taking Naruto away.

Jiraiya rarely showed stubbornness, but once he did, the Third Hokage was helpless.

"Hokage-sama, the Shimura clan leader requests a meeting."

"What is he here for?"

Because he needed to think about something, the Third Hokage specifically instructed the Anbu guards outside to notify them first if anyone came to see him.

"Let him in."

Putting aside a bunch of worries and sorting out his mood, the Third Hokage sat on the chair and picked up his pipe.

"Hokage-sama."

Entering the Hokage's office and closing the door behind him, the Shimura clan leader bowed respectfully.

The Third Hokage, who had a sad face one second ago, smiled the next:

"You don't have to be so polite. I was busy with village affairs, so I asked the Anbu to guard outside."

"This is as it should be. Hokage-sama has been busy with the affairs of the village. He deserves some quiet time to rest and think."

Chief Shimura flattered him a little.

The smile on the Third Hokage's face gradually grew brighter.

"You, your mouth is still the same as always. It would be great if Danzo were so carefree."

"Haha, Hokage-sama, you're joking."

Since Danzo was involved, the Shimura clan leader didn't dare to say anything and could only laugh dryly.

After a while of greetings, the Third Hokage said seriously:

"So, Chief Shimura, do you have something to report to me?"

Finally entered the main show.

The Shimura clan leader immediately put on an angry look and began to accuse the Uchiha and the police department of wrongdoings:

"Hokage, you have to take care of the Shimura clan. This Uchiha is too much. He arrested our clan members for no reason and locked them up in the police department. He also doesn't allow family members to visit."

What are you teasing me?

The Third Hokage looked confused.

I thought it was a big deal, but this is it?

Is it worth it for you, the head of a ninja family, to come to the Hokage's office building to complain about the police department arresting the Shimura clan?

Which family has never been arrested?

"It was just that the Shimura clan was captured?"

It can be seen from the smile slowly disappearing from his face that the Third Hokage is unhappy.

He thought that Chief Shimura came to see him in a hurry to report something important, but it turned out to be because a member of the tribe was captured.

It was thanks to the Third Hokage that he could endure it. If it were someone with a bad temper, he would probably have cursed loudly.

"Hokage-sama, it is not what you think."

Seeing that the Third Hokage had misunderstood, the Shimura clan leader explained anxiously:

"Since this morning, the police have been targeting the Shimura clan. Many clan members have been arrested or taken away for various strange crimes and demands. There were even some who attacked the police captain in the street. More than a dozen people were arrested in one day."

"It's clearly targeting us!!!"

There could be many reasons why the tribesmen were arrested by the police department, but it was wrong to arrest more than a dozen of them in one day.

There must be something fishy here.

What the hell is the Uchiha doing?

Yesterday you promised that things would change, but today you are getting worse.

and many more!

Is it because of what happened yesterday?

The Third Hokage was no fool and quickly connected everything that happened yesterday.

Looking at it this way, it seems understandable. After all, Danzo's identity is too sensitive, and it is impossible for Uchiha to directly target Danzo.

Since we can't target Danzo, let's just target the Shimura clan.

Anyway, Danzo is a member of this family.

After figuring this out, the Third Hokage began to appease the Shimura clan leader:

"You go back and wait for news. I will ask Uchiha Fugaku to come and explain this matter personally. I believe there will be a result soon."

The Third Hokage doesn't bother to care about ordinary matters, especially now.

But what the Uchiha did was a bit too much. If it was not stopped, it might be the Shimura clan today, and it might be Utane, Mito, or even Sarutobi tomorrow.
