Killing the Body and the Soul: Danzo Stirs Up Trouble

Lin Yan was genuinely curious as to why Konoha Village didn't rebel and become the rulers of the Land of Fire.

However, he's too lazy to delve any further into the matter now.

After all, Kakashi, Itachi, and Shisui, the three of them, could already sweep through the entire Daimyo's Daimyo's Court in the Land of Fire on their own.

However, they still adhered to the proper relationship between ruler and subject.

They probably hadn't even thought about that question before Lin Yan asked it.

Since none of them, the ruled, had such thoughts.

So why should an "outsider" like myself meddle in other people's business?

Lin Yan, feeling utterly bored, waited with the others for Hiruzen Sarutobi to return.

Meanwhile, in Konoha Village...

Upon learning that Hiruzen Sarutobi had left Konoha for the capital of the Daimyo, Danzo Shimura not only arranged for members of the ANBU to assassinate Hiruzen Sarutobi.

At the same time, he also started causing trouble in the village.

The conflict that had occurred a few days earlier between the Uchiha Clan's Konoha Police Force and the villagers was suppressed by Hiruzen Sarutobi himself.

The injured villagers are now waiting at the Konoha Ninja Hospital for an apology and compensation from the Uchiha Clan.

Everyone seemed to have willingly let go of their hatred.

However, today, just like today, another incident occurred where villagers of Konoha provoked patrol members of the Konoha Police Force.

Two drunken villagers openly hurled insults at patrolling Konoha Police Force officers in the street.

"Yo? Aren't these the cowards of the Uchiha Clan? What bad luck to run into these guys even on the street..."

"Hey! You two better get the hell away from me right now, I really hate seeing your faces! They're so annoying!"

"That despicable guy! He hit someone and won't even apologize publicly, and he's even trying to avoid paying compensation... It's absolutely outrageous!"

"Did you two hear me? Get the hell out of my sight right now, or you'll regret it!"

"..."

These two drunkards reeked of alcohol.

They not only insulted the two patrol members of the security team, calling them Uchiha cowards who only knew how to bully the weak.

Furthermore, they even went so far as to insult the ancestors of the two Konoha Police Force.

One of the Konoha Police Force initially didn't want to deal with the two drunkards.

But upon hearing the other party's foul language, he could no longer restrain himself and immediately drew the short knife from his waist, ready to step forward and teach the two drunkards a lesson.

Fortunately, his impulsive behavior was immediately stopped by his companions.

Upon seeing the members of the Konoha Police Force, who looked fierce and were enraged, drawing their knives as if to kill, the two drunkards instantly sobered up.

They looked closely and were dumbfounded.

Immediately afterwards, he turned and ran away.

As they ran, they shouted, "The Uchiha Clan is killing people! Help!"

"The Konoha Police Force have gone mad; they're slaughtering villagers in the street!!"

"..."

The sound gradually faded into the distance.

But the Konoha Police Force who drew the knife was not appeased; instead, he became even angrier and wanted to rush up and chase after the two villagers.

His companion held him tightly, shouting, "Are you crazy! What are you doing! Have you forgotten what Lord Fugaku told us?!"

"Damn it! Didn't you hear how arrogant they were just now?"

"How dare they insult our ancestors for eighteen generations! When has the Uchiha Clan ever suffered such humiliation?"

"I'll go kill them right now. I'll take full responsibility for any crimes; it has nothing to do with the Uchiha Clan or you!!"

After saying that, he tried to rush forward again.

But he was still held down firmly by his companions.

"Calm down!!"

This member of the Uchiha Police Force solemnly reminded his comrade.

"Don't forget our goal. What you're doing now will have very bad consequences. If the village discovers our plan, everything will be ruined!"

"Right now, we can only endure it. Once it's all over, these villagers will regret it too late!"

This member of the Konoha Police Force said these words to comfort his comrade while gritting his teeth.

It's clear that he was also very resentful.

But they remained relatively calm.

Upon hearing his comrade's words, the impulsive member of the Konoha Police Force quickly calmed down.

After thinking it over carefully, he angrily cursed in frustration.

"Hateful!"

"These bastards will get what's coming to them sooner or later!!"

After speaking, he put away his weapon and casually dusted off his clothes.

Meanwhile, onlookers had already gathered on both sides of the road, having witnessed the scene clearly.

Many villagers even pointed and gossiped about the two of them.

These actions, coupled with the villagers' disdainful and fearful looks, reignited the anger of the two Konoha Police Force.

"Damn it! Why are these guys staring at us like that? Are we criminals?"

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

The two Konoha Police Force were just muttering and cursing to themselves.

Suddenly, someone attacked them from behind, throwing a bucket of dirty water at them.

Fortunately, the two reacted quickly and avoided the sneak attack in time.

The two men turned around angrily and found a man in his forties throwing mud at them.

"Uchiha bastards, get out of Konoha! You guys only bring disaster to this village!"

"My son was killed because of the Nine-Tails Incident you orchestrated! Get out Uchiha!"

"That's right, my parents died because of the Nine-Tails Incident. It was all because the Sharingan of the Uchiha controlled the Nine-Tails!"

"Not only did you use the Sharingan's Genjutsu to control the Nine-Tails and attack Konoha, but now you're abusing the power of the Konoha Police Force to bully others! It's outrageous!"

"Get out of Konoha!!"

"The entire Uchiha Clan should die!"

"..."

The hundreds of villagers who had gathered to watch were furious.

After all, the events of the past few days had already spread throughout the entire Konoha.

At this moment, the two members of the Uchiha Police Force were like Nezumi crossing the street, hated by everyone.

As a result, the Uchiha Clan behind them was also hated by everyone.

Unbeknownst to anyone, on a high point in the northwest corner of the village, Shimura Danzo and several of Root Organization's ANBU were watching the spectacle.

When Shimura Danzo saw the villagers bombarding the Uchiha Clan and verbally attacking the patrolling Konoha Police Force officers without any restraint, a strange light flickered in his eyes.

At the same time, Shimura Danzo's subordinates relayed this information to Konoha's two advisors, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.

At that moment, they were also watching all of this from the Hokage Building.
