Help You? That'll Cost Extra
Fugaku Uchiha was surprised to see Lin Yan there. He looked at Lin Yan and Shisui Uchiha had just entered with some confusion.
The other members of the Uchiha Clan also revealed wary eyes, all staring at this unfamiliar man.
"Lord Fugaku, Lin Yan has something to discuss with you."
Shisui Uchiha stepped forward and whispered a few words in Fugaku Uchiha's ear.
Upon hearing his words, Fugaku Uchiha's expression changed slightly, and his gaze subconsciously fell upon the three black briefcases in Lin Yan's hands.
"You may all leave now."
Fugaku Uchiha gave orders to the clansmen around him.
Although they didn't know what had happened, these tribespeople were now very obedient.
Everyone withdrew and left the courtyard.
Soon, only Fugaku Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, and Lin Yan remained.
"May I ask who commissioned you to deal with our Uchiha Clan?"
Fugaku Uchiha crossed his arms and calmly looked at Lin Yan, asking her a question.
"Shimura Danzo."
Lin Yan answered.
"Lord Danzo?"
Fugaku Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha it out.
The former is angry shock, while the latter is incredulous astonishment.
"That's right, this 1.5 billion ryo is the price paid to buy the lives of everyone in your Uchiha Clan."
Lin Yan patted the three black briefcases in her hands.
Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha's eyes instantly turned cold.
A tense atmosphere gradually filled the air, as if a sword was about to be drawn.
Shisui Uchiha was also watching Lin Yan's every move warily.
If anything goes wrong, he will immediately use his strongest Genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, on Lin Yan.
"So you're here to deal with the Uchiha Clan now?"
Fugaku Uchiha did not make a move immediately, but continued to stare into Lin Yan's eyes and asked.
His Mangekyo Sharingan was already in the works.
The Uchiha Clan's Genjutsu can take effect through eye contact. If Lin Yan answers yes, he will definitely not be able to escape her Genjutsu attack in the next second.
"No."
Lin Yan answered calmly.
These words instantly eased the tense atmosphere.
Fugaku Uchiha, however, dared not lower his guard in the slightest.
At this time, Shisui Uchiha was also still on high alert.
"So what do you want to do here?"
"Is it just to tell us this?"
"No, not either."
Lin Yan answered calmly and composedly.
Now Fugaku Uchiha was a little confused about his intentions.
At this moment, Lin Yan smiled and explained, "I can turn the tables and help you deal with Shimura Danzo and his Root Organization."
"But it'll cost extra."
Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, both Fugaku Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha showed expressions of astonishment.
But at the same time, they finally understood why Lin Yan had come here.
Furthermore, they revealed their employer's secret to the Uchiha Clan.
So, this kid wanted more!
Fugaku Uchiha's gaze unconsciously swept over the three black briefcases in Lin Yan's hand again.
To be honest, even if the Uchiha Clan sold everything they owned, they couldn't scrape together 1.5 billion taels.
But now, it seems that Lin Yan's conditions are hard to refuse.
"We don't have that much money."
Fugaku Uchiha didn't hesitate for long, but honestly explained.
"Fifteen billion ryo, that's an astronomical figure for the Uchiha right now."
He further emphasized this point.
However, Lin Yan simply shook her head with a half-smile and remained silent.
Shisui Uchiha followed his gaze and looked to the side.
That was the money sent by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, supporting the reconciliation between the Uchiha Clan and the villagers.
Seeing Lin Yan's eyes fall on the funds, Shisui Uchiha instantly understood Lin Yan's intentions.
A slight thought crossed his mind.
At that very moment Fugaku Uchiha also noticed this small detail.
His expression also tightened slightly.
Both of them were waiting for Lin Yan to speak.
As expected.
At this moment, Lin Yan smiled and gestured with her chin towards the large sum of money.
"Your Uchiha Clan is actually quite wealthy."
"Stop joking..."
"This money is what we're supposed to use for negotiations with the villagers."
"If we give it to you, the conflict between our Uchiha Clan and the village will..."
Before Fugaku Uchiha could finish speaking, he suddenly showed a look of astonishment.
Because he realized a problem.
At this moment, Lin Yan said with a half-smile, "Is that really what you think, head of the Uchiha Clan?"
"If even you hold such naive thoughts, then it's no wonder the Uchiha Clan remained oblivious even as death approached."
Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Fugaku Uchiha frowned deeply.
Shisui was also somewhat doubtful and uncertain.
Why did Lord Danzo send you to kill us?
He couldn't help but ask.
"You should know the reason best in your hearts."
"In our Land of Sea, there was once an old saying: 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.'"
"The 'wall' of your Uchiha Clan is your powerful bloodline limit."
Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Fugaku Uchiha immediately understood.
Danzo Shimura continued the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's policy of suppressing the Uchiha Clan.
However, this man's thinking was even more extreme.
He has always believed that the Uchiha Clan poses a great threat to Konoha.
Sooner or later, the Uchiha Clan will rebel, causing great turmoil.
Therefore, they have tried every means to suppress the Uchiha over the years.
To this day, Danzo has even hired Lin Yan to wipe out their entire clan...
It's clear that the higher-ups' desire to annihilate the Uchiha Clan is now out in the open.
"You want us to use this money as a reward?"
"Then you'll be hired to kill Danzo?"
Fugaku Uchiha looked at Lin Yan and asked cautiously.
This matter is extremely serious.
Even for him, making a decision is difficult.
"We'll take action tonight."
"Either your Uchiha Clan and the Root Organization perish."
"The choice of where you go from here is your own."
"I'm here now only to offer you some advice."
Lin Yan finished speaking with a half-smile, then picked up her three suitcases and turned to leave.
Looking at his retreating figure and the 1.5 billion ryo in cash in his hand, Fugaku Uchiha's eyes became filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
"Wait a minute!"
He finally couldn't resist and called out to Lin Yan.
How can I believe what you're saying?
His gaze fell once again on the briefcase in Lin Yan's hand.
Since Lin Yan could break her promise and come here to tell them the Uchiha Clan's secret after accepting money from Shimura Danzo, it's surprising that she could do that.
Then, who can guarantee that he won't do the same thing to the Uchiha Clan?
