Clan Annihilation of the Shimura Clan

"At least the Uchiha came quickly..."

"And they don't frame people..."

At this moment, a piece of gossip spread – "The Nine-Tails Night, it's said the Shimura Clan stopped the Uchiha Clan from going to the rescue."

"Huh?"

"This..."

The villagers didn't have much of a reaction to this yet.

But half a year later, the villagers couldn't hold back anymore.

A thief was casing a house when he was caught by a relative of the homeowner. When the Shimura Clan arrived, the homeowner's younger brother was beating the thief.

The thief was bruised and swollen, blood splattered everywhere.

"Stop! Stop!" The Shimura Clan members immediately pulled the two apart and took them away.

In the end, they let the homeowner's younger brother go.

Because the key was lost, they even helped to pick the lock.

However, the next day, they received a report – the house had been robbed, and the thief was the homeowner's younger brother.

"Huh?" The Shimura Clan was stunned.

This news spread throughout the village in an instant – "The Shimura Clan of the Police Force picked the lock for a thief and helped him steal!"

Everyone was mocking the Shimura Clan's incompetence, saying they were far inferior to the Uchiha Clan, and such a thing would never happen to the Uchiha.

Meanwhile, Root members of the Uchiha Clan, hidden in the shadows, revealed a sneer.

They had already seen that the younger brother was abnormal, but they just didn't say anything.

The Shimura Clan's scalps tingled.

They frantically tried to mend their mistakes.

Finally, they successfully caught the thief who had deceived them, but he had already gambled away the money.

Rumors spread throughout the village. Fortunately, the Shimura Clan still had some assets. With the Shimura Clan Head's consent, they paid out of their own pockets to cover the homeowner's losses.

But instead of receiving thanks from the homeowner, they got...

"You call yourselves the Police Force? Quit and let the Uchiha do it!"

"Useless people occupying a position without doing any work! Spit!"

The Uchiha Clan's sensitive point was the Nine-Tails Night;

The Shimura Clan's sensitive point was the Uchiha Clan.

The homeowner was taken to prison by the Shimura Clan for a lesson.

And rumors spread throughout the village.

"I heard the Shimura Clan deliberately caused trouble and stopped the Uchiha Clan to avoid participating in the Nine-Tails War!"

"Did you hear? They have someone named Shimura Danzō who dug out Uchiha eyes to control the Nine-Tails!"

"The Uchiha Clan is so kind, look how violent the Shimura Clan is!"

"Exactly, the Shimura Clan is the scourge of Konoha!"

Hokage Building.

"Lord Hokage, please say something on behalf of the Shimura Clan!" The Shimura Clan Head said with a face full of grievance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him, took a puff from his pipe, and exhaled a cloud of worried smoke, saying, "Say what?"

"The Shimura Clan did not stop the Uchiha Clan during the Nine-Tails Night," the Shimura Clan Head said urgently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe, his expression serious.

"Then where were you at the time?"

"This..." How could the Shimura Clan Head admit they were in the clan's shelter? He chuckled and said, "The Shimura Clan was, of course, fighting the Nine-Tails."

He believed that Sarutobi Hiruzen, from the Sarutobi Clan which had formed an alliance with the Shimura Clan since the Warring States Period, would definitely help him.

This was the preferential treatment of the Shimura Clan!

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe the name has been changed!

"Are you asking me to lie for you?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes turned cold.

The Shimura Clan Head broke out in a cold sweat and chuckled, "No, no, then just say that the Shimura Clan didn't stop the Uchiha at the time."

"Since the Shimura Clan didn't stop the Uchiha, then who did?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression softened slightly, but he remained serious.

"Anyone would do," the Shimura Clan Head said sheepishly. He didn't care who it was.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at him and said, "Don't bring this matter up again."

The Shimura Clan Head froze.

Was this a rejection?

This wouldn't do!

If this continued, the villagers' opinion of the Shimura Clan would only grow worse!

The villagers no longer wanted to sell them goods, and the prices kept rising. The clan's money was dwindling.

The Shimura Clan Head grew anxious.

"Just say it was Root! It was Root who stopped the Uchiha back then!"

"Root is a secret organization of Konoha. Do you know that spreading information about important village organizations is a serious crime?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flashed with disappointment, his voice turning cold.

"This... this..." The Shimura Clan Head's scalp tingled.

Sarutobi Hiruzen eventually softened and offered a suggestion.

"If it's really that bad, just disband the Police Force."

"That won't do!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's words seemed to step on the Shimura Clan Head's tail.

Without Shimura Danzō, the Shimura Clan had placed all their hopes on the Police Force. It was their chance to enter Konoha's higher echelons, and he absolutely wouldn't let it go.

"Then do a good job! The Uchiha can do it, why can't your Shimura Clan!" Sarutobi Hiruzen berated him coldly.

The Shimura Clan Head's expression was ugly, but he still nodded with a forced smile and left.

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched his retreating back and, for some reason, saw the back of Fugaku Uchiha.

And now, the Shimura Clan... wasn't it just like the Uchiha Clan before?

He closed his eyes, rubbed his brow, and murmured, "Jinghuo Uchiha, what exactly do you want to do..."

"Of course, it's to annihilate the Shimura Clan." Jinghuo Uchiha said while doing a push-up with one finger.

"You're weakening Konoha's fighting strength!" Uchiha Itachi, as the head of Root, objected.

"Fighting strength?" Jinghuo Uchiha smiled. "Then tell me, what useful things have they ever done?"

"This..." Uchiha Itachi's mind went blank for a moment.

The Shimura Clan was definitely useful, but what useful things had they done...

His mind raced, but he couldn't find a single reliable deed.

"Come back to me when you've thought it through. If you come to me without even thinking clearly, are you just bored?" Jinghuo Uchiha began to dismiss him.

"I..." Uchiha Itachi looked somewhat aggrieved.

But what was even more frustrating was that he actually felt Jinghuo Uchiha had a point.

Uchiha Itachi's slightly dark and calm face was filled with unspoken frustration.

Uchiha Shisui, witnessing this, couldn't help but shake his head slightly. "Jinghuo, could you be a little nicer to Itachi?"

"I could, but I don't want to."

"..." Uchiha Shisui knew he couldn't persuade Jinghuo Uchiha, so he shook his head slightly and dropped the subject.

Instead, he grew worried about another matter.

"Recently, Kumogakure and Iwagakure have been restless. They might be planning to make a move against you."

"Be more confident, remove the 'might'."

Three days after Jinghuo Uchiha killed Shimura Danzō, the system had been constantly posting missions from outside the village.
