Chapter 171 Kidnapping
Fugaku returned to the clan and immediately convened a clan meeting.
In the Uchiha meeting hall, Fugaku was sitting cross-legged in the center, with clan officials in front of him.
When he was young, he imitated his uncle's stern face, but he was still a little immature.
"The Third-sama called me today to interfere with my Uchiha Guard Force."
"What do you think about this matter?"
Not only Fugaku himself, most Uchiha have already regarded the security forces as their forbidden territory.
It was impossible to allow outsiders to interfere, otherwise Fugaku would not have reacted so strongly at that time.
Now that he has been persuaded by Chuan Feng, he wants to see the reaction of his tribe members.
It is better to make everything clear. Simply forcing things down can sometimes have the opposite effect.
This is what his uncle once taught him.
"I object."
An elder spoke indignantly, his face unable to conceal the excitement.
"I don't agree either."
"disagree."
......
Led by the two elders, most of the tribesmen expressed their opposition, with only a few remaining silent.
"Quiet."
Fugaku roared, his gloomy eyes swept over everyone, and the hall immediately became quiet.
This also made Fugaku quite useful, and his prestige was built up day by day.
"I don't agree either, but why do you all object?"
Fugaku was the first to express that he and his clan members were of one mind.
"Since the Second-generation, I, Uchiha, have been in charge of the security forces alone."
"Now he wants to insert people in with just one word, I don't accept it."
This is a brainless move, just a subconscious displeasure.
"The security force is the last of my Uchiha rights."
"If we are cannibalized again, what status will we Uchiha have in the village?"
This guy has some brains, but not much.
......
Fugaku listened patiently, but didn't hear any far-sighted words.
He sighed. No wonder his uncle had worked so hard for so long but still couldn't lead them.
"We have been in charge of the security forces for so many years. Do we have any status to speak of?"
As soon as Fugaku said this, someone immediately wanted to refute it.
I opened my mouth but nothing came out, as if I didn't know what was going on.
The core of the village never had the name of the Uchiha clan.
"Nothing to say?"
"We have been supporting the security forces with our own money. How much profit have we gotten over all these years?"
When Fugaku asked the second question, the tribesmen were all confused again.
You look at me, I look at you.
Over the years, the security forces have only had to spend money.
"Still nothing to say?"
"If I let him place someone in here, I can ask for a subsidy."
"Is it a good thing to let his people do the dirty work again?"
Fugaku finally stated his ultimate goal and then watched the reactions of his clan members.
This caused an uproar below.
All of this was within Fugaku's expectations. It would be strange if there wasn't such a scene during such a major event.
The quarrel became more and more intense, and the field was clearly divided into two camps.
One side was unwilling to let the Third Generation interfere in the security forces, while the other side had agreed with Fugaku's point of view and felt that this was a good thing for the Uchiha.
"stop."
Fugaku saw that the quarrel had almost reached a certain point and stopped them in time. If they continued, he was really afraid that they would start fighting.
The hall instantly became quiet again. The last time Fugaku used the Mangekyō to intimidate everyone, it was very effective.
"I won't say any more nonsense. The majority obeys the minority."
"Those who agree stand on the right, and those who disagree stand on the left."
Fugaku's mouth corners slightly raised. He had already roughly counted the number of people just now.
He is just pretending now. If there are really many people who oppose it, he can only use his authority as the patriarch.
The Uchiha clan members stood up and quickly divided into two lines on the left and right.
You don't even need to count, you can tell at a glance that there are more people on the right.
"No need to say more."
Fugaku interrupted a clan member on the left who was about to speak.
"It's settled. Replace all the backbone personnel with smart and capable ones."
"If there is any mistake, you are the one to be held responsible."
After all, it is a family team, so it is inevitable that there will be some people who use backdoors. Fugaku just took this opportunity to let capable people take over.
"Yes, patriarch."
"Okay, let's disperse."
Fugaku stood up and walked away slowly. He had no intention of going to find Sarutobi Hiruzen right away.
We have to wait until they come to urge us to get more benefits.
After returning to his residence, Fugaku asked someone to call Qing.
He has been paying attention to what Chuan Feng told him.
"how is the progress?"
Fugaku looked at Qing as he came up to him and asked directly.
"I have already sent people out in disguise to spread the word as you instructed."
"But in order to avoid being too obvious, we don't have enough manpower, so it will take time to be effective."
Ao bowed in front of Fugaku, one of the few elites left behind by the former clan leader.
"Be more discreet. Thank you for your hard work."
Fugaku stood up and patted Qing on the shoulder. If this matter was discovered, it would be meaningless.
Once the news started to be publicized on a large scale, Sarutobi Hiruzen could no longer cover it up.
"It's your job."
Qing responded in a deep voice and turned away.
Fugaku walked to the yard and looked at the sky. His uncle seemed to be smiling at him.
He will definitely not let his uncle down.
......
In Konoha Village, there is an inconspicuous fruit shop.
The boss was a thin man who had just sent away a few regular customers.
Turning around and entering the store, you will reach the back hall.
Three dark-skinned men were sitting and eating.
"My Lords, this is the route she takes home from school."
The boss handed over a map of Konoha Village, which clearly marked a route from the Ninja School to the Senju Mansion.
If Kushina had seen it she would have recognized it as the route she took home from school.
[In the original work, they actually ambushed at Kushina's house, but I made some changes here.]
"Well done, find a way to withdraw as soon as possible."
"We are ready to take action too."
One of the big men took the map, took a look at it, and then put it in his arms.
These three people were the three ninjas sent by the Hidden Cloud Village. They came to Konoha to kidnap Kushina.
"For the sake of the village, my safety is not worth worrying about."
The boss smiled indifferently. No wonder he had been able to lurk in Konoha for so many years.
Dedication is awesome!!
"Take care of yourself."
The three Cloud Ninjas stood up and left. The longer they delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.
The boss watched them leave, then came back to the stall with a smile to attract customers.
It was as if nothing had happened.
At the Ninja School, Kushina sat quietly in the classroom.
Lying on the table, bored, occasionally playing with her long red hair.
At the podium, the teacher was explaining some key points of ninjutsu. This year, all the students will face graduation exams.
"Kushina, you're not paying attention in class again?"
A piece of chalk hit Kushina's head accurately.
"Oh~"
"Teacher, I know everything you said."
Kushina covered her head and raised her head, looking at the teacher angrily.
"Since you are so talented, why don't you graduate early like Minato?"
"They have already walked around the battlefield."
The teacher knew that it was useless to compare her with others, and only Minato could leave her speechless.
"I'll listen, okay."
There was a slight smile on Kushina's lips, and she felt quite proud of it.
There is no sense of shame at all about being scolded by the teacher.
"That's pretty much it."
The teacher continued teaching with satisfaction, "I can't deal with you, little girl."
......
As the bell rings, today's class ends.
Kushina walked out of the classroom with cheerful little steps.
Because she was nicknamed "Blood Red Pepper" at school, naturally no one would go out with her after school.
Kushina was walking home alone, unaware that danger had quietly enveloped her.
Three Cloud Ninjas had been lying in ambush on her path for a long time.
She was still thinking about which barbecue restaurant she and Minato would go to, and whether Minato would be more handsome today than yesterday.
She has walked this road for many years and she would not go wrong even with her eyes closed.
There was a deep alley in the middle, and Minato used to follow her secretly because he was afraid that she would get into danger.
This was a little secret that Minato revealed to her after he confessed his love to her.
Now whenever Kushina walks down this alley, she will smile from the bottom of her heart.
"Get ready, people are coming."
The three Kumos were patient, ready to take down Kushina instantly when she passed by.
Try not to make any big noise. This is in Konoha after all. Once discovered, there will be only one way to go, and that is death.
"Okay." X2
Kushina had no idea what was going to happen next and was walking in the alley without any precautions.
It jumps around like a cute red rabbit.
"superior."
When Kushina heard the word, it was too late to react.
Her strength was nothing compared to the three jonin.
I only saw three dark shadows coming towards me.
Then, I felt a pain in the back of my neck and lost consciousness.
"Walk."
A Kumo-nin caught Kushina, and then three figures emerged from the alley.
There were no signs of a fight left.
According to the escape route that had been planned long ago, the three of them immediately entered the forest and rushed out of Konoha Village.
Minato and the other two were still talking and laughing in the Senju residence, completely unaware of what was going on.
"Why hasn't Kushina come back yet?"
"I'm hungry."
Nawaki looked at the sky. Kushina usually got home by this time.
"It should be soon."
Minato wasn't too sure, after all, he didn't live in the Senju mansion.
The time is still unclear.
"Why don't we pick her up and go straight to the barbecue restaurant."
Misaki thought for a moment and offered her opinion.
"Okay." X2
Nawaki and Minato agreed, and the three of them left the Senju residence and walked towards the school.
Minato was quite happy as he walked through the alley.
"When we were in school, I was afraid that Kushina would be bullied by her classmates, so I would follow her."
"I've seen her fight with her classmates many times, and she never loses."
Minato didn't want to do anything to his classmates, so he just watched and didn't help.
After telling Kushina about this, he was beaten up by her a lot.
"If anyone dares to hit Misaki, I will beat him to death."
It was obvious that Nawaki didn't have such a good temper, and Misaki felt sweet in her heart when she heard this.
"I didn't know how to help her then. If it were me now, I would definitely help her."
Minato also felt that he was too stubborn before and scratched his head in embarrassment.
When they were almost at the school, they still hadn't run into Kushina.
Only then did I feel that something was wrong.
"Is something wrong Kushina?"
Rope Tree couldn't believe that someone would dare to kidnap someone so blatantly in Konoha Village.
"I should have left a Flying Thunder God mark on her."
Minato looked unhappy and smacked his thigh in frustration.
"Go find the teacher quickly."
Nawaki didn't dare to leave Misaki alone, so he asked Minato to find Kawakaze first.
He took Misaki to the hospital to find Tsunade.
