A Look

Facts prove that you should never treat others like fools.

Especially when the other party was the head of a clan.

This was the man who had kept the Uchiha Clan in line when they were dissatisfied with the village.

Though Fugaku was inclined to accept Hyuga Hitoshi's suggestion.

After considering it, he did not act rashly. Instead, his first order was to warn the clansmen that during the village's reconstruction, they were to intensify their patrols and inspect every corner of the village. Every person and item entering the village had to be thoroughly checked!

Even construction material merchants approved by the higher-ups had to be dragged to the Konoha Military Police Force for his subordinates to check whether they were male or female!

This was a sign.

Once patrol intensity increased, arresting those monitoring the Uchiha would become far more justified. When the villagers saw the Uchiha's hard work, they would also be more accepting of their arrests.

Don't Look At how ordinary villagers treated the Konoha Military Police Force, but one had to admit their usefulness.

With them patrolling the streets day and night, Konoha's public security had improved by who knew how much.

What people truly despised was the Uchiha Clan's arrogance and their insufferably pretentious behavior.

To put it another way, what gave them the right to act so high and mighty?

Uchiha Madara had fucking betrayed the village and been killed by the First, yet they still thought the present Uchiha were some Warring States Period behemoth? Who the fuck were they putting on airs for?

Yet the Uchiha still went their own way and ultimately destroyed themselves.

Hyuga Hitoshi was using the Uchiha as his vanguard, but hadn't he also intended to use the Hyuga Clan?

When opposing the higher-ups, there was no need to think about whether to fight alone or have a reliable ally.

And deeply tying himself to the Hyuga Clan would not be difficult.

Once the higher-ups learned Again and Again that he was entering and leaving the Hyuga Clan Land, they would naturally imagine that Hyuga Hitoshi was Offer Advice and Strategies behind the scenes.

That would be greatly beneficial to the Uchiha!

So the situation was now clear.

Hyuga Hitoshi intended to have the Uchiha charge ahead and buy him time. At the very least, he needed to clean up the moon's Strong Rear Base, then slowly begin Relocating Clansmen. Once he had no more worries behind him, Hyuga Hitoshi would have far more room to maneuver—enough for him to truly cut loose.

The Uchiha's good brother believed that through Deep Cooperation with the Hyuga Clan, they could make the higher-ups wary and gain more benefits and a greater Right to Speak. So he was following Hyuga Hitoshi's instructions, and his next step would be to arrest those ANBU spies.

In short, everyone felt they had made a killing.

After returning, Fugaku had also Figured It Out. There was nothing wrong with what Hitoshi Brother had said. Even if he acted like a Grandson in the future, it seemed he still could not avoid being targeted by the higher-ups.

Since he was going to be fucking targeted either way, why should he have to wrong himself?

Especially since Hyuga Hitoshi's words when he left the Hyuga Clan had reminded him.

That was right!

This fucking village had been founded by them. Those Sarutobi Clan mongrels had merely licked the Senju Clan's boots during the Warring States Period, so what gave them the right to make them suffer?

All in all, Fugaku had an aggressive side too.

And this was clearly a perfectly legitimate opportunity to strike back at the higher-ups!

Fugaku also intended to test the higher-ups' reaction.

With that in mind, Fugaku, who was leading a patrol, locked eyes with his good brother, who was simultaneously picking up two girls at the Dango Shop.

Their eyes met. They were kindred spirits!

True companions with real chemistry often needed only a single look.

He understood that the other man was using him. He also understood that the advice and strategies the man offered might very well make things hard for his Wife, but that was fine. A real man was born between heaven and earth—what were a few women compared to power? Once he dealt with the higher-ups and joined forces with the Hyuga Clan, he might even become Village Chief one day!

And he also understood that Fugaku had taken the bait. Once the ANBU were arrested and brought in, Fugaku would come back to seek his wisdom and strategies. Then he could better demonstrate why he was called a master at fanning the flames! This operation to buy time was already secure. If the Uchiha Performed Well, then when the Hyuga swept across the universe and established themselves as kings, perhaps he could make the Uchiha his underlings.

Their eyes met, and everything was left unspoken!

"You mean that clan did not cause trouble? Instead, they increased their patrols and started working properly?"

Inside the temporary Hokage Office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wore a puzzled expression as he confirmed the intelligence his subordinate had submitted.

"The specific Circumstances are unknown, but at least on the surface, whether it is relocating their clan land or being monitored, that clan has shown no resistance."

Yuhi Shin'en reported on his work with an unchanged expression.

In fact, he could be considered half of the Hokage Lineage, but it did not matter at all. A Deputy Minister was still just a Deputy Minister. This was already the end of his career.

After all, the previous ANBU Minister had been Hatake Sakumo.

Facts prove that Lord Third Doesn't Hope for another Hatake Sakumo to appear. Yuhi Shin'en was even less willing to become Hatake Sakumo and be manipulated to death by the higher-ups, so even if they offered him the position of ANBU Minister, he would refuse.

Moreover, he had a feeling that this game between the higher-ups and the Uchiha would be complicated. He had not even personally gone to direct the operation, naturally choosing to go through the motions.

He had seen things clearly during the Nine-Tails Attack.

For that little money each month, why should he risk his life?

Back then, he had served with utmost devotion and nearly died. That should have been enough to prove himself, right?

Those fucking higher-ups insisted that funds were tight, and he had not seen a single coin of bonus pay. Good thing he had not died in the line of duty. Otherwise, it was hard to say whether the full pension would even have reached his daughter. He might as well just slack off!

"Understood. You may leave."

After lighting his pipe and waving a hand, the Old Village Chief stood up and walked to the window to brood once Yuhi Shin'en had slipped away.

After being Reinstated, he had many things to do. Fortunately, his Wife was dead, so he did not need to spend energy handing in his marital dues. He had plenty of time to stay in the office and manipulate power.

But Even Though he had such experience, he still could not see what the Uchiha were planning.

This differed from his original plan.

After thinking it over, the Old Village Chief ultimately decided that it was not a major issue.

After all, compared to those Aggressive Kids, the Old Village Chief was not afraid of scheming in the slightest.

When it came to Internal Fist Technique, he was confident that even ten Uchiha would not be his match!

For now, though, the focus still had to be on the border.

Recalling the intelligence that had just arrived from there, a trace of worry appeared on the Third's face.

War was approaching.

And just as the Old Village Chief was Serving with Utmost Devotion for Konoha.

Outside the Small Courtyard left behind by Snake Man in the Outskirts, Hitoshi Clan Head fled in utter embarrassment beneath Anko's contemptuous gaze and Yuhi Kurenai's quiet laughter.

After Snake Man defected, this place had become Miss Anko's new home, as well as the base she shared with her Best Friend.

The three of them had previously been inside playing Fight the Landlord, but as they played, the atmosphere Underwent a Change.

In the end, however, Hitoshi Clan Head still fled while bent over.

But he swore that this was the last time. Next time, he would definitely show those two little wenches what he could do!

He would fuck them up!

It was only because all three of them had been together this time and he was afraid it would not pass review. Otherwise, he would have made his move.

Next time, if the mood was right, he would not hold back. When that happened, those two little wenches had better not blame him for being inhuman.

Of course.

With his desire stirred up, Hitoshi Clan Head had to find some way to vent it.

His gaze gradually sharpened.

The next moment, Hyuga Hitoshi sensed the coordinates on the moon.

This time.

He planned to go over and take a look himself!
