Chapter 63

You think there's only one path, but actually there are three paths you can take. He has already successfully taken the first one!

Life is truly... as lonely as snow!

Sigh! In the end, I got my Eastern Wu Household Registration first!

After finishing breakfast, the Little Wife, Mikoto, didn't say a word, her face flushed red.

Liuyun's eyes darted around, if it weren't for the fact that Mikoto's... swollen... small... was the most...

"Lord Liuyun! The Lord Hokage has convened the Jonin Conference! He requests your presence!"

An Anbu appeared before Liuyun, speaking with utmost respect.

"Damn it! That Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

Liuyun cursed under his breath as his beautiful fantasy was shattered.

He said calmly, "I understand! I'll go right away!"

After giving Mikoto some instructions, Liuyun finished his breakfast peacefully and lingered for quite a while before heading towards the Hokage Building.

The only regret is that we didn't get to see Kushina.

Upon arriving at the Hokage Building, he was led to the conference room by a member of the Anbu Special Forces).

To Liuyun's surprise, the conference room led down into the underground.

To be precise, it's the basement level of the Hokage Building.

A huge spherical playground, radiating outwards in concentric circles.

The people in the innermost circle are the strongest, and the further out you go, the weaker they become—the more marginalized they are!

The high-ranking officials and heads of powerful clans in Konoha are generally in the first and second tiers!

The entire spherical playground was packed with people.

Although there were many people, the playground was completely silent.

In the very center of the playground, on a raised platform, the Konoha Silver Coin F4 stood proudly.

Before Liuyun Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo"Pot King," spoke up, his tone cold and sinister, making everyone feel very uncomfortable.

"What a huge honor! You think you've done something small, yet so many Konoha Ninja are waiting for you. You truly are worthy of the Uchiha Clan!"

Danzo's voice, transmitted clearly through the microphone beside him, resonated throughout the entire spherical playground.

All the Ninja present heard it clearly.

Liuyun raised an eyebrow, and a nameless rage surged within him.

Damn it, I haven't even Danzo for Mikoto's matter and the Sand Ninja Camp incident yet, and this bastard is already making trouble for me first.

If I don't turn you into an idiot today, I'm not the Uchiha Bragging King.

"Ding! We have sensed that the host has been insulted by the Pot King. Please select!"

"Bearing humiliation and ignoring everything, the reward is the title of 'Coward,' and the host's body size will be transformed into that of Wu Dalang!"

"Danzo was rendered speechless by the two confrontations, and was rewarded with Beginner Yang Release Insights."

"Whether you confront one person or two, it's still a confrontation. Angrily confront everyone who speaks to Danzo, and the reward will be the first stage of the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

This system is truly his lucky star!

As for the reward, Liuyun chose the third option without even thinking.

With this, no matter how far I go, I can return to Konoha using the Flying Thunder God.

Most importantly, he would imprint the Flying Thunder God seal on his women so that he could sense their danger immediately.

Danzo is truly a lucky charm who deserves to be given money!

Coming to his senses, Liuyun smirked, picked at his ear, and spoke with a hint of impatience.

"Hey! Whose mad dog is off-leash and biting people like this?!"

"If you're ever out of food at home, just tell me. Even though my house is small, I'll still give you a few scraps!"

Liuyun's voice also echoed throughout the entire spherical playground, but unlike Danzo's, his voice was imbued with a strong Chakra.

"Uchiha Clan brat! You're asking for death!!"

Danzo stood up angrily, his sinister eyes fixed on Liuyun.

This is the first time he's been called that since becoming a high-ranking member of the Hokage and the founder of Root (AJBC).

"Looking for death? Come on! Don't say I'm bullying you! You want to fight me one-on-one, the kind that's dead or alive? You dare?"

"Dare you! Dare you! Do you dare?"

Liuyun's arrogant voice was like a resounding bell, its echo lingering long afterward.

The surrounding Ninja watched with amusement, for it was rare to see someone so openly challenge Danzo!

Danzo trembled with rage, his eyes blazing with murderous intent, but he dared not utter a single word.

As the leader of the Root, he knew Liuyun's strength better than anyone else; to fight him one-on-one would be suicide.

After stammering for a while, Danzo finally managed to utter three words: "You! How dare you!"

"Courage? Of course I'm very bold. Unlike you!" Liuyun sneered, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Has improper relationships with certain people!"

"What improper relationship? Explain yourself! Explain yourself!"

Danzo ashen with rage, and his three corpses throbbed violently.

"Do you really want me to tell you?" Liuyun asked with a strange look in his eyes.

"That works too. But one night when I went back, I saw Lord Danzo go to a widow's house!"

"And with that widow... I'm too embarrassed to say the rest!"

Liuyun covered her face, her eyes crinkling into crescents with laughter beneath her palms. Throwing mud and lies? Anyone can do that!

Anyway, Danzo unhappy, then he's happy!

"This is slander! Slander! Uchiha Liuyun slandered the Konoha High Command! I'm taking you back to Root!"

Danzo his feet in anger, the sound like ancient Ice.

"Look! Danzo panicking, he's panicking! He's completely flustered! What does this mean? I don't need to say more, do I? Is he going to kill someone to silence them?"

Liuyun pointed at Danzo and immediately asked him three questions. This made the Ninja on the training ground who did not believe in Danzo hesitate.

"Danzo! Lord Danzo really wouldn't be like what Lord Liuyun said, would he?"

"Who knows? It's said that Lord Danzo's wife died a long time ago. He's been holding back for so long, he must have to deal with it. I feel that Lord Liuyun's words are true."

"I also feel that it should be true. Every normal man has needs, Lord Danzo is no exception, unless he is abnormal!"

Below, the once quiet crowd began to stir, whispering and discussing amongst themselves.

Many Ninja looked at Danzo with a hint of disdain.

It's perfectly normal for men and women to be attracted to each other, but if you like a widow and don't give her a proper status, then that's wrong of you.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, standing nearby, looked at Danzo with a hint of scrutiny. Did Danzo have this kind of hobby?

"You! You!" Danzo pointed at Liuyun, so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

(Let's give each other some flowers to motivate us, my friends!)

Chapter 95 Scolding the Konoha Silver Coin F4! It's so satisfying! (1st update!)

"Uchiha Liuyun, how dare you!" Utatane Koharu exclaimed, quickly speaking up for her old friend!

"Outrageous? How have I been outrageous? Elder Koharu, when did telling the truth become outrageous!"

Liuyun spread his hands, his dark eyes filled with deep confusion and grievance.

"To slander Konoha High Command right in front of us, isn't that outrageous?" Utatane Koharu pointed at Liuyun and coldly rebuked him.

"Oh dear! I'm so scared!" Liuyun patted her chest, pretending to be frightened.

A smirk played on his lips, tinged with disdain. "How can the higher-ups twist the truth? How can they just discard someone after they've served their purpose?"

Are you forcing me, a weak person, to submit?

These words caused the corners of everyone present to twitch involuntarily.

You think you're weak? If you're weak, then what are we?

"You! You!... You're talking nonsense!" Xiaochun, Utatane Koharu, was so angry that her fingers trembled and shook.

"How could I be lying? I saw and heard this with my own eyes and ears, and I even know the widow's address perfectly well!"

His voice was filled with confidence, making it hard to believe he was lying.

Coupled with that expression, even Utatane Koharu on the stage was starting to believe it.

But believing is one thing, saying it is another; otherwise, they would lose all face as elders.

He glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was drinking tea, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings.

Danzo has indeed been acting somewhat erratically these past few days; he needs to be reprimanded.

This was what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking; otherwise, as Danzo's old buddy, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have stopped him long ago.

"You! You! You're unreasonable!" Utatane Koharu's chest heaved violently with anger.

"How utterly unreasonable! But I'd like to ask Elder Tsukai: aren't you Konoha High Command?"

Although she didn't understand what Liuyun meant, she still nodded subconsciously.

"Then, do you also have a family?" Liuyun asked again.

"Have!"

Utatane Koharu, but a bad feeling crept into her heart.

"So the other three high-ranking officials also have their own families?"

Utatane Koharu nodded. Their family was an open secret in Konoha, so they couldn't refuse.

Liuyun's smile widened, but his words made Utatane Koharu extremely gloomy, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

"Then may I ask, as Konoha High Command, how many Ninja did your three clans send to the battlefield during the Second Shinobi World War?"

Utatane Koharu gritted her teeth in anger, clenching her fists, and looked at Liuyun, who was smiling not far away, wishing she could just kill him.

That bastard is a troublemaker; I should never have stood up for Danzo.

"The Ninja of our three clans have all been dispatched by the Lord Hokage to patrol Konoha!"

"Oh!!! Your three clans' Ninja have been sent out to patrol Konoha?" Liuyun narrowed his eyes, then shouted.

"Is your brain made of shit? You're so stupid! You three clans of Ninja come to patrol Konoha! What are we Uchiha Clan doing here?"

"I remember when the Senju Clan left at the start of Second Shinobi World War, our clan chief Fugaku, specifically went to the Third Hokage to request that our Uchiha Clan participate in the war!"

"The Third Hokage appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him, explaining that only the protection of our Uchiha Clan could ensure the safety of Konoha."

"If anything unexpected happens ahead, the Uchiha Clan will be Konoha's last line of defense!"

"It's proven that all the Ninja could see our Uchiha Clan patrolling Konoha. And what about you three clans?"

"Liuyun is right! I approached the Third Hokage twice, but he refused both times with this excuse, which caused a lot of resentment within our clan!"

Uchiha Fuchu got up and delivered the finishing blow; this was a perfect opportunity to promote the Uchiha Clan.

He can also team up with Liuyun to disgust these old fogies; only a fool wouldn't speak up.

"No wonder the Uchiha Clan's enforcement was so volatile after the Senju Clan left; it turns out they were prevented from going into battle!"

"Sigh! I thought the Uchiha Clan was a cowardly group that dared not fight, but so that's how it is. Well, I can't blame them then!"

One by one, the Konoha Ninja spoke up again, and the previously quiet meeting room became lively once more.

"Alright! That's enough about this! Liuyun, don't say any more!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, sitting in the middle, couldn't hold back any longer.
