I Dare You To Chop Off His Head

"Clan Head, something terrible has happened."

Uchiha Fugaku was supposed to be resting at home today, but Uchiha Kanbayashi rushed over. As soon as he entered, he said with an urgent expression, "Uchiha Yoichi has captured someone from the Shimura clan, and two Root ninja as well. They've already been brought to the Security Force for interrogation!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this news, not only Uchiha Fugaku but also Uchiha Mikoto, who had just brought tea, were stunned. Even though she wasn't a ninja, she knew the Shimura clan's standing in the village, let alone the inclusion of Root ninja.

Uchiha Fugaku clenched his fists and said, "What does Uchiha Yoichi think he's doing?"

"Clan Head, it's no use thinking about that now. We should go to the Security Force first to prevent things from escalating further."

"Let's go, to the Security Force!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku stood up. Without even having time to change his clothes, he followed Uchiha Kanbayashi out.

At roughly the same time, the Second Elder, Uchiha Kenji, also received the news. After hearing the message brought back by Masato, Uchiha Kenji couldn't help but laugh.

"To have such courage at just over ten years old, and to be so meticulous without acting on impulsive revenge, that's good. But since Young Yoichi wants to make a scene, let's make it a big one."

"Rie, have Young Yokokawa go help too. Just like Masato."

Uchiha Yokokawa was a relatively well-known member of the clan, a cousin to Masato, and also a nephew of the Second Elder. However, due to his fiery temper and past rash actions on the battlefield, he had returned to the Security Force as a squad leader.

The Third Shinobi World War hadn't started yet, and it had been a long time since the Second Shinobi World War. The Uchiha clan had already increased its numbers significantly.

The Security Force had three hundred members, divided into four squads. Two of the squad leaders belonged to the Second Elder's faction, and this didn't even include the clan's ninja.

There was no doubt about the Uchiha's strength at this time. After the decline of the Senju, the Uchiha were Konoha's foremost ninja clan.

Now, all parties were in motion, with most heading towards the Security Force.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived at the Security Force, he happened to encounter Danzō and his Root ninja. Seeing the people Danzō had brought behind him made Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression darken.

"Danzō, what do you think you're doing bringing so many people? Infighting is absolutely forbidden in the village!"

The peace maintained after the Second Shinobi World War was on the verge of collapse. The Iwagakure's blatant violation of the alliance was clear evidence that they were testing the waters for war.

When Danzō heard Hiruzen Sarutobi's reprimand, anger appeared on his face as he said coldly, "The Security Force is becoming lawless. If I don't bring more people, I'll be the next one they arrest!"

"That won't happen, Lord Danzō."

Uchiha Fugaku instantly appeared before Hiruzen Sarutobi, nodded in acknowledgment, and then said, "There must be some misunderstanding here. Lord Hokage, please let me handle this!"

Danzō sneered and said coldly, "You handle it? Uchiha Fugaku, if you could command the Security Force, this situation wouldn't have occurred. You..."

"Enough, Danzō. I trust Young Fugaku."

Hiruzen Sarutobi reprimanded Danzō, secretly cursing him for being brainless. Was this the time to sow discord?

However, Danzō didn't think so. He was a typical hardliner and inherited the discriminatory views of Tobirama Senju when it came to the Uchiha.

Hiruzen is too weak. At this time, he should have suppressed the Uchiha severely and crushed this nascent threat! If I were Hokage, such a thing would never happen in the village.

"Let's go, Young Fugaku. We'll go to the Security Force together and clear up this misunderstanding!"

With that, Hiruzen Sarutobi gestured for Uchiha Fugaku to lead the way. The group immediately set off and soon arrived at the Security Force headquarters.

Upon arriving at the Security Force, Uchiha Fugaku immediately noticed something was wrong. Normally, two squads would be on duty at the Security Force, but today, the Security Force members who should have been resting were all here.

"Yokokawa, why are you here?"

"Clan Head, the Second Elder said that help might be needed here, so he had me come and see."

Uchiha Yokokawa replied nonchalantly. Then, seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi behind Uchiha Fugaku, he asked, "Lord Hokage, you're here too."

"Just taking a look. The Security Force arrested some people today. There must be some misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? No, no, Lord Hokage, there's no misunderstanding at all. Not only is there no misunderstanding, but the Security Force now has ample evidence that the people arrested today were in secret communication with the Iwagakure!"

Uchiha Yoichi walked out of the Security Force and said slowly. As he spoke, he glanced at Danzō Shimura and then sneered at him.

"Lord Hokage, we don't know how many people from the Shimura clan are involved yet. I think the Security Force should arrest all members of the Shimura clan right now. As for Lord Danzō himself... Heh, it's unlikely that the Second Hokage's disciple would betray the village, but Lord Danzō should best prove his innocence and voluntarily go to the Interrogation Squad!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Danzō Shimura's face turned so dark it looked like it could drip water.

How many years had he been the Hokage's Assistant? Who in the village dared to speak to him like this!

And he wanted him to go to the Interrogation Squad? How dare this Uchiha brat say such a thing!

Danzō Shimura's heart burned with rage. His gaze towards Uchiha Yoichi was filled with killing intent. However, he knew he couldn't do anything to him at the Security Force. Most importantly, he needed to get his people back first.

"Go, bring them back!"

Danzō Shimura ordered coldly. He just wanted to take his people away now. As for this damned Uchiha in front of him, he would have plenty of opportunities to settle the score later!

Clang!

Lightning Fang was directly drawn from its sheath by Uchiha Yoichi. The next second, a powerful lightning current crackled around him.

"Anyone who trespasses into the Security Force will be treated as a spy and a rogue ninja, and will be killed on the spot!"

His tone was decisive and resolute. Then, Uchiha Yoichi sneered at Danzō again and said, "I know Lord Danzō has many loyal followers, but Lord Danzō doesn't need to test my resolve to protect Konoha in this way. If I say it, I will! Absolutely! Do it!"

"If Lord Danzō doesn't believe me, feel free to send more people!"

With that, Uchiha Yoichi narrowed his eyes slightly. In his blood-red pupils, his two tomoe spun rapidly. The Lightning Fang ninja blade, entwined with lightning, looked as if it would be unleashed at any moment.

Danzō's face turned ashen, his anger so intense he looked like he was about to crush his cane.

With gritted teeth, he said to Uchiha Fugaku, "Clan Head Uchiha, this is the Security Force!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku thought that the situation could not be allowed to worsen. He also noticed Hiruzen Sarutobi's displeasure.

So, Uchiha Fugaku walked towards the Security Force, sternly saying to Uchiha Yoichi as he walked, "Yoichi, let me take the person first. I will handle this matter."

Crackle!

Before Uchiha Fugaku could finish speaking, the Lightning Fang blade, entwined with lightning, appeared horizontally and vertically in front of him. Before he could furiously curse, he saw Uchiha Yoichi's cold gaze.

"Clan Head, don't test whether I'll act. You might as well let the ninjas from Root try. See if my Lightning Fang will chop off their heads if they force their way into the Security Force!

Or let Lord Danzō try it himself and see if my Lightning Fang will hesitate!"

After Uchiha Yoichi finished speaking, the dozen or so Security Force members behind him, as if receiving a signal, activated their Sharingan at the same time.

Some had two tomoe, and quite a few had three tomoe!

The dozen pairs of blood-red pupils brought considerable pressure to everyone present.

At this moment, many Uchiha clan members also emerged from the Security Force headquarters. They silently stood behind the clan members who had just activated their Sharingan, not saying a word.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed to instantly fall to freezing point!
