"Young Yoichi, Mina's identity has been arranged, but Father said it would be best not to use the name Uzumaki. From now on, she'll be called Uchiha Mina."
After Uchiha Masato paid him a visit, he told Uchiha Yoichi the news.
Uchiha Yoichi had already discussed the name change with Mina. If she continued using the name Uzumaki, Konoha would definitely come looking for her and demand that Uzumaki Mina join Konoha, especially after learning that she possessed such powerful abilities.
"Mina-san can first enter Konoha Hospital and study Medical Ninjutsu under Doctor Doi. As for Sealing Jutsu—"
Uchiha Yoichi spoke up. "There's no need to worry about Sealing Jutsu for now. We'll handle things one at a time. Mina knows some Sealing Jutsu herself, so she only needs to focus on learning Medical Ninjutsu for now."
He knew that arranging a position in the Sealing Division was far more difficult than arranging one at Konoha Hospital. Doi Miki of Konoha Hospital was a friend of the Second Elder, so arranging a student was nothing difficult. However, more than half of the work handled by the Sealing Division involved Konoha's secrets, making it very difficult to place someone there—especially someone from the Uchiha Clan.
Even if the Uchiha Clan produced a ninja with considerable talent in Sealing Jutsu, they still wouldn't be able to enter the Sealing Division.
Besides, the Sealing Jutsu inherited from the Uzumaki Clan was enough for Mina for the time being. Although she didn't know much, it was sufficient for her to study and train with for a while.
"Then there's another matter, Young Yoichi. I've finished investigating the Shimura clan's businesses. They have two warehouses in Konoha and one merchant caravan. They've been trafficking Medical Supplies—"
"Good. Senior Masato, leave the rest to me."
Uchiha Yoichi rose to his feet, took the Lightning Fang Ninja Sword from the wall, and fastened it around his waist. He then continued, suggesting to Uchiha Masato, "This kind of blatant aiding of the enemy can't be ignored by the Security Force."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Masato felt some indescribable emotions well up inside him. His strength wasn't lacking. If only his personality had been a little more forceful, he could have competed with Uchiha Fugaku for the position of Clan Head back then.
Unfortunately, Uchiha Kenji had seen that Uchiha Masato was an obedient blade—sharp, but unable to make decisions for himself. At the time, the only person in the clan stronger than Uchiha Masato was Uchiha Fugaku, so in the end, they could only choose him.
Four squads, along with Uchiha Yoichi and Uchiha Masato, made fourteen people in total.
All fourteen had awakened the Sharingan. Three of them possessed the Three-Tomoe, while the rest all had the Two Tomoe.
After arriving at a relatively secluded warehouse district within the village, Uchiha Yoichi happened to see people from the Shimura clan unloading goods from a cart, box by box. He walked straight over.
The people from the Shimura clan didn't notice at first, but as the Security Force drew closer, they realized that something was wrong.
"Honored Ninja of the Security Force, what brings you here? We're from the Shimura clan."
Before the man could finish, Uchiha Yoichi interrupted him. "Stop everything immediately and have your people come out. The Security Force currently suspects that you're secretly in contact with the Stone Ninja. There's reason to believe the goods here are being sold to the Stone Ninja!"
"How could that be?! We're from the Shimura clan!"
The merchant caravan's manager immediately ran over and angrily cursed, "You Uchiha have some nerve, daring to—"
Slash!
The sword flashed through the air, and an arm drenched in blood landed on the ground with a heavy thud.
The merchant caravan's manager, who had cursed at Uchiha Yoichi, immediately clutched his arm and wailed in agony. "Aah! My arm! My arm! You bastard, how dare you—! Waaah!"
Before he could finish cursing, Uchiha Yoichi swung his sword again and sliced off his tongue. "If you don't know how to speak, then you don't need to speak anymore. You, go and bring everyone out. Anyone who tries to escape will be treated as a Stone Ninja spy and killed on the spot!"
Another man hurriedly nodded in terror before running off to call the others. Uchiha Yoichi's vicious appearance had scared the courage out of him. Cutting off hands and tongues at the slightest disagreement—he was practically a devil.
Worried that the man might die, Uchiha Yoichi thoughtfully used Lightning Release to cauterize the wound of the Shimura middle-aged man whose arm had been severed. However, the man's willpower was too weak, and he fainted.
"Young Yoichi, won't this cause trouble?"
"It won't, Senior Masato. We don't need to show any mercy to spies who collude with the Stone Ninja. The Shimura clan will have to swallow this loss today, whether they want to or not!"
After speaking, Uchiha Yoichi took a scroll from his ninja pouch. He had found it at a Stone Ninja Sentry Post. It contained a map of the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Grass, marking locations suitable for building Stone Ninja strongholds, along with several transport routes the Stone Ninja planned to open.
"When we find this inside later, even the Third Hokage will have to thank our Security Force."
Uchiha Masato examined the scroll, then said with a smile, "Since you're confident, I won't try to dissuade you."
Once everyone had been brought out, Uchiha Yoichi ordered them to load all the goods inside and send them to the Security Force. The people were to go to the Security Force as well for questioning. Anyone who tried to flee would be killed on the spot.
The medicines inside were worth roughly sixty million ryo. Seizing all of them would be enough to make Danzo suffer for an entire day.
Whether inside or outside the village, Uchiha Yoichi intended to cripple everything related to the Shimura clan. Inside the village, he would use the name of the Security Force. Outside the village, it would be blamed on bandits or rogue Ninja.
Konoha wasn't large, and Uchiha Yoichi had no intention of hiding what he was doing, so the news quickly spread.
More than a dozen people, fourteen members of the Security Force, and dozens of crates of Medical Supplies and other goods—there was no way something that large could go unnoticed inside Konoha.
Everywhere Uchiha Yoichi passed, plenty of people stopped to watch. This was the first time the Security Force had made such a huge commotion in the village. How could anyone possibly—
Whoosh!
Two masked Ninja suddenly appeared, blocking Uchiha Yoichi's way back. They said coldly, "Security Force, hand the people over to us."
"No. These people are involved with Stone Ninja spies and must be investigated by the Security Force!"
Upon hearing this, the two Root Ninja threatened him coldly. "This is Lord Danzo's order—"
"I don't care whose order it is. The answer is still no!"
Uchiha Yoichi spoke coldly. His eyes suddenly transformed into the Sharingan, and the two tomoe in his pupils began spinning wildly.
Genjutsu: Binding Pillar Technique!
The two Root Ninja happened to be staring at Uchiha Yoichi. The moment they saw the Sharingan, they realized that something was wrong, but before they could react, they had already fallen under the Genjutsu. They were pinned in place, unable to move a muscle.
Seeing this, Uchiha Masato couldn't help praising him. "You immobilized two Root Ninja with the Two Tomoe at once. Young Yoichi, your Dojutsu is quite impressive."
"You flatter me, Senior Masato. Those two were simply too weak. The other clan members could do the same."
Uchiha Yoichi smiled, then continued, "Take them back and interrogate them as well. Let's see whether Root has also been bought off by the Stone Ninja."
With the map drawn by the Stone Ninja in hand, Uchiha Yoichi would turn this matter into irrefutable evidence today. One would be arrested for every one who came!
A member of the Security Force stepped forward, dragged the two Root Ninja over, and threw them into the cart. The group then continued toward the Security Force headquarters.
The news that the Security Force had clashed with the Root Ninja and captured them quickly spread far and wide once again. The Anbu hurriedly reported it to Hiruzen Sarutobi, since the incident had taken place fairly close to the center of the village.
Several Ninja Clans also received the news, including the other two advisors—and Shimura Danzō!
