Danzō's Attention

"Uchiha kid, well done."

As Uchiha Yuan and the others were talking, a one-eyed middle-aged ninja stood up from another table in the snack shop and said.

His remaining eye was full of admiration as he looked at Uchiha Yuan, a kind smile on his face, and then he turned and left the snack shop.

Not long after, several other ninjas around thirty years old passed by the snack shop. When they saw Uchiha Yuan, they whispered a few words and then all nodded at him.

What happened on the training ground quickly spread among the ninja community, and many people secretly felt a sense of satisfaction.

Although the Konoha White Fang incident back then was suppressed by the village, White Fang had always had an influence in the hearts of many ninjas.

In their hearts, Konoha White Fang had always been a hero of the village.

Seeing this, Uchiha Yuan couldn't help but smile, "Justice is in the hearts of the people. It seems that many people in the village still remember White Fang."

Senju Gen and Hatake Harukaze nodded in agreement.

Deep underground, in a dark and vast space, was the base of 'Root'.

A masked ninja knelt on one knee before an old man whose body was mostly covered in bandages, reporting the news of Yoshiwara Yuto being beaten and how the Hokage's Office handled the matter.

After a while, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, and a fierce light flashed in his sinister eyes.

"The Uchiha are indeed an evil clan. A Ninja Academy student dares to be so arrogant and disrespectful, even daring to attack a Leading Jonin. They completely disregard the village."

"Sympathizing with Hatake Sakumo? Hmph, Hatake Sakumo endangered the village, and suicide was the best outcome for him. What does a Uchiha kid know? This must be the Uchiha clan expressing their dissatisfaction with the village."

"Hiruzen, you are too weak. How can you yield to the Uchiha? They must be suppressed forcefully."

This old man was the Hokage Advisor and the leader of Root, Shimura Danzō.

As the mastermind behind the smear campaign and suppression of Konoha White Fang back then, Uchiha Yuan's actions were like slapping Shimura Danzō in the face.

Especially since he was from the Uchiha clan, it made Shimura Danzō even more furious.

After a moment of silence, Danzō said, "Defeating that trash Yoshiwara with just Taijutsu, this Uchiha kid has considerable talent. Bring him to me tonight, I want to see him personally."

"Yes."

The masked Root ninja's figure flickered, and he used the Body Flicker Technique to retreat.

After parting ways with Senju Gen and the others, Uchiha Yuan walked on the road back to the clan compound.

The impact of teaching Yoshiwara Yuto a lesson was beyond his expectations. Along the way, many ninjas he encountered showed him friendly smiles.

This made him realize that White Fang's supporters had always been there. Due to White Fang's suicide, their dissatisfaction with the village had been hidden in their hearts.

They were all forces that could be won over.

Swish.

A figure suddenly appeared on the roadside wall in front of him. It was Kakashi.

He quietly watched Uchiha Yuan, not saying a word.

Uchiha Yuan walked closer step by step. Although Kakashi's face was mostly covered by his mask, he could still tell that Kakashi's expression was incredibly complex at the moment.

Uchiha Yuan stopped and looked up at Kakashi, smiling, "Kakashi-senpai, long time no see."

Kakashi looked at Uchiha Yuan's young face, and after a moment of silence, he softly said, "Thank you."

Just as Uchiha Yuan was about to speak, Kakashi, after saying thank you, flashed and used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

As he got closer and closer to the clan compound, Uchiha Yuan encountered more and more clan members.

When Uchiha Yuan reached the main gate of the clan compound, he ran into a team of Police Force members.

The leader was a tall, short-haired man. He looked at Uchiha Yuan and said, "You're the eldest son of the Rei family, right?"

"Yes."

The man laughed heartily and patted Uchiha Yuan on the shoulder, "Good kid, well done! To be able to defeat a Special Jonin, you've truly brought honor to the family."

The other members also chimed in with praise.

"That's right, now those Commoners should be even more in awe of the clan's prestige. A mere Uchiha ninja academy student can defeat a village's Special Jonin."

"Haha, only our Uchiha Clan produces so many geniuses."

"I always knew the eldest son of the Rei family was a bold one without fear. Remember that night when Nine Tails went berserk? When those Root bastards stopped us, the eldest son of the Rei family dared to mock them."

Hearing everyone's praise, Uchiha Yuan showed a proud smile on his face and said, "It can't be helped. As an Uchiha, I cannot tolerate a shameless scoundrel as my superior."

Then, he asked with some curiosity, "I wonder what punishment the village has for me?"

The leader smiled, "What, are you scared?"

Uchiha Yuan shook his head and said proudly, "Since I dared to act, I am not afraid of punishment."

Hearing this, the leader's face immediately showed great admiration.

He laughed, "Good, I appreciate you more and more, kid. Don't worry, the village hasn't imposed any punishment. After all, we are the mighty Uchiha!"

"Hahaha..."

This team of Police Force members burst into proud laughter.

After entering the clan compound, all the clan members he encountered praised Uchiha Yuan.

Of course, there were also surprised glances. No one expected that the eldest son of the Rei family, an outer branch of the Uchiha clan, would do such a thing.

Not far from home, Uchiha Yuan ran into Uchiha Eiji and his group.

"Yuan, I knew I wasn't wrong about you. I just didn't expect you to be so strong. That was a Special Jonin, and you defeated him so easily."

Uchiha Eiji said, both surprised and excited. Uchiha Hayabusa and the others beside him looked at Uchiha Yuan with awe.

"When I heard the news that you defeated a Leading Jonin, I thought it was fake."

Uchiha Yuan said indifferently, "Actually, I just wanted to vent my anger for White Fang."

"Konoha White Fang? Isn't that just your excuse?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Yuan couldn't help but frown. "Of course, it's not an excuse. White Fang has always been a senior I respected. Otherwise, why would I have needlessly troubled the Leading Jonin leading the team?"

"I thought you wanted to become famous, after all, you do have the strength." Uchiha Eiji scratched his head.

Uchiha Yuan glared at Uchiha Eiji, "Do you think I'm like you? I don't need to become famous by defeating some insignificant rat. That would be an insult to me."

Uchiha Yuan had clearly witnessed the entire Konoha White Fang incident from beginning to end. At that time, he felt regret for Konoha White Fang and disdained the crude and dirty power struggles of Konoha High Command.

And now, with Hatake Sakumo as his teacher, how could Uchiha Yuan, as a disciple, not seek revenge on those who stabbed his teacher in the back back then?
