Unfathomable Uchiha Byakuya

The Security Force's large-scale operation quickly attracted the attention of all the families in Konohagakure.

The current heads of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans were gathered there at that moment.

Yamanaka Inoichi, Akimichi Choza, and Nara Shikaku – this was the Ino-Shika-Cho of this generation, and they were also the clan heads of their respective families.

"Shikaku, what do you think the Uchiha Clan is trying to do!..."

"They actually sealed my Barbecue Restaurant, saying it was unhygienic..."

Akimichi Choza said, somewhat angrily.

Due to their clan's Ninjutsu, the Akimichi Clan were all fat.

To maintain their body fat, the Akimichi Clan had opened many Barbecue Restaurants in Konohagakure.

However, all these Barbecue Restaurants were sealed by the Security Force today.

"Yeah! Has the Uchiha Clan gone mad!?..."

"They're actually extorting protection fees from all the shops in Konohagakure, and sealing them if they don't pay..."

"My Flower Shop was also sealed..."

Yamanaka Inoichi said, also somewhat angrily.

However, he was more confused. What was the Uchiha Clan doing?

"Mmm! The Uchiha's actions are indeed very strange..."

"My Herbal Medicine Shop was also sealed..."

Nara Shikaku was also very confused.

Due to the Deer Forest, the Nara Clan managed Konohagakure's herbal medicine business.

Today, his Herbal Medicine Shop was also sealed by the Security Force for various reasons.

Although their shops being sealed made them very angry, They were also very puzzled. What exactly was the Uchiha Clan doing by acting like this?

Was it merely to collect protection fees?

Clearly, they didn't believe the Uchiha Clan would take such a large-scale action for a small amount of money.

The Uchiha Clan already had a bad reputation in Konohagakure. Now, with them openly extorting protection fees, their reputation was even worse.

Clearly, it was a loss that outweighed the gain for a small amount of money.

The only explanation was that the Uchiha Clan had a deeper purpose.

"Do you think the Uchiha Clan is planning to make a move against the Hokage..."

"You know, the Uchiha Clan has been coveting the Hokage position for a long time..."

Yamanaka Inoichi said quietly, as if he had thought of something.

"Making a move against the Hokage! That's impossible!..."

"Does the Uchiha Clan have that much guts!?..."

Akimichi Choza was startled and couldn't help but ask.

"I just received news that the current Uchiha Clan Head, Uchiha Gen, has been imprisoned..."

"The one in charge of the Uchiha Clan now is someone named Uchiha Bai Ye!..."

Yamanaka Inoichi said.

"This Uchiha Bai Ye, I can't see through him..."

Nara Shikaku said thoughtfully.

As Konoha's strategist, Nara Shikaku possessed a brilliant mind.

However, he truly couldn't understand Bai Ye's purpose in doing this.

"Shikaku, what should we do now!..."

"Yeah! Our clan members are still being held by the Security Force!..."

Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza asked Nara Shikaku.

The Nara Clan members were all very intelligent.

Therefore, when encountering problems, the other two clans would always seek the Nara Clan's opinion.

"Mmm... Let's not do anything..."

"Let's just wait and see how things develop..."

"And observe the Hokage's reaction..."

Nara Shikaku said after some thought.

Nara Shikaku was a wise man. He wouldn't be the first to stick his neck out before things became clear.

The best course of action is to do nothing at all.

Moreover, it wasn't just the three of them who suffered damage this time.

The greatest losses were incurred by the Hokage and several families among Konoha's higher-ups.

If the Hokage isn't in a hurry, why should they be?

More importantly, in Nara Shikaku's view, the Uchiha Clan must have had a reason to dare to do something so crazy.

Their Ino-Shika-Cho clans were small families and didn't have the guts to provoke the Uchiha Clan.

Let the Hokage deal with the Uchiha Clan.

It wasn't just the Ino-Shika-Cho clans who had this thought; it could be said that all the clans in Konohagakure were waiting for the Sarutobi Clan's reaction.

Your Sarutobi Clan's leader, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is the Hokage.

Now that the Uchiha Clan has sealed your businesses, why aren't you reacting!

Inside the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and Shimura Danzō were gathered there.

"Damn it, what does the Uchiha Clan think they're doing!? Do they want to rebel!? They actually dared to seal our shops..."

"That's right! Not only did they seal our shops, but they also arrested our people!..."

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura said furiously.

It should be known that their two clans' businesses accounted for more than half of the sealed properties.

These businesses were also what they had acquired over the years by relying on their authority.

If these businesses were damaged, it would be a huge blow to their families.

Their families had finally managed to develop and become major clans in Konoha.

They didn't want to lose these businesses and become small clans again, living a precarious life.

"The Uchiha Clan is too arrogant..."

"We absolutely cannot let the Uchiha Clan continue to be so arrogant!..."

"We must teach the Uchiha Clan a lesson..."

Shimura Danzō also said angrily.

Clearly, the Shimura Clan had also suffered severe losses this time.

Shimura Danzō had long disliked the Uchiha Clan and had wanted to deal with them for a long time.

Now that the Uchiha Clan had finally incurred the wrath of the masses, how could Shimura Danzō let this opportunity pass!?

Facing the furious trio, Hiruzen Sarutobi quietly puffed on his cigarette without speaking.

After a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi continued.

"Mmm... the Uchiha Clan has indeed gone too far this time..."

"Danzō, leave this matter to your Root Organization to handle!..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, looking at Shimura Danzō.

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't see through the Uchiha Clan's grand actions this time.

He truly couldn't understand what Uchiha Bai Ye was trying to do.

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi decided to let Danzō probe the Uchiha Clan's situation first.

He would then consider whether to make a move himself.

"Hiruzen, leave it to me!..."

"My Root Organization will handle this matter properly..."

Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Danzō didn't hesitate at all. He returned to his Root Organization base.

He led the members of the Root Organization and charged directly towards the Uchiha Clan.

As soon as they arrived at the Uchiha Clan's territory, they were stopped by Uchiha ninjas.
