As expected, things were going Haruma.
Three days later, the Anbu in front of the Uchiha Clan compound were almost nowhere to be seen.
Although many remain hidden, they are no longer visible in the open.
Then, to Mikoto's astonishment, the Anbu delivered several land deeds for shops in the village.
"I knew that old fox couldn't get it up."
Haruma toyed with the land deed in her hand, her tone indifferent.
Mikoto rolled her eyes, speechless. What kind of inappropriate words were those?
"These land deeds aren't far from the center. Should we send someone over?" Mikoto asked with some concern.
Although the locations are good, these places will obviously be closely watched by higher-ups.
"Send it! Of course we'll send it!" Haruma said proudly. "We shouldn't refuse business that's offered to us."
Even if he doesn't give me the gift, I'm planning to buy a few shops in the village and make a good profit.
Despite knowing that Haruma was greedy, Mikoto was still puzzled. "Then what kind of business should you open?"
A glint flashed in Haruma's eyes, "The most profitable business!!"
"The most profitable business??"
Mikoto was puzzled; when did the Uchiha Clan start doing this kind of business?
"A business that nobody in the entire Konoha is doing!"
A smile played on Haruma's lips as she excitedly exclaimed, " Ninjutsu Scroll!"
"Not only can you sell the Uchiha Clan's legacy, but all the spoils of war from the past can also be sold!"
Mikoto froze, staring wide-eyed at Haruma.
Selling things in a shop in the village is different from selling traditional items at high prices.
After all, most of the Uchiha clan's inheritance is simply fire-based, while stronger ones require the Sharingan eye techniques.
That's why Fugaku didn't stop Sarutobi from auctioning off his inheritance.
However, considering the Uchiha Clan's past achievements on the battlefield, they possessed a considerable number of Ninjutsu ranging from D to A ranks.
For ordinary ninjas to access advanced Ninjutsu, in addition to making significant contributions to the village, they also need to complete missions of corresponding difficulty and number.
Otherwise, no matter how talented you are, the village won't provide you with advanced Ninjutsu to learn for free.
This is also the difference between commoner ninjas and clan ninjas.
The only way for ordinary ninjas to learn Ninjutsu is at the Ninja Academy, where they only learn the basics.
Want to go further...
Aside from his identity and talent, all he could do was be loyal to the village's higher-ups and willingly be brainwashed by the so-called Will of Fire.
The Fourth Hokage, who came from a commoner background, not only firmly sided with Sarutobi, but also completed more than 300 A-rank missions and 40 S-rank missions before he was able to witness the Flying Thunder Body Technique.
Not only the Hokage of Konoha, but the Kage of other villages also maintain strict control over high-level Ninjutsu!
It wasn't just to cultivate the loyalty of the village's ninjas, but also to control their path to advancement.
Haruma's actions at this moment will undoubtedly break this long-standing system!
The consequences would Sarutobi!
The leaders of all the villages in the Shinobi World would not want to see this happen!
Haruma casually reassured her, "Don't worry, Mikoto. As long as we don't rebel at this critical juncture, Sarutobi won't dare to stop us."
At this point, Haruma added playfully, "If other villages have any objections, I'll go and explain things properly."
"Okay."
Seeing Haruma's expression, Mikoto decided not to try to persuade her anymore. She could see the future; what else was there to say?
"As for the shop owners, you can handle that, Mikoto."
Haruma chuckled and said, "I have a small matter to attend to, so I need to go out of the village."
Mikoto frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Is there something important that's causing you to leave the village at this time?"
With Fugaku gone, Itachi gone, and even Haruma gone, Mikoto is still a little worried.
"Don't worry, it's just a simple debt collection."
Haruma said, "It should only take a day if we hurry, and two days should be enough if we're slow."
"I'll give the order to handle official business in the office later. I won't be seeing anyone for the next couple of days."
"Just bring me a pot of tea every day, and pretend you're still here."
Mikoto nodded slightly. If it's only for a day or two, then it's fine.
The Land of Fire, the Daimyo's residence.
The atmosphere inside the room was eerie.
The daimyo wearing a fan-shaped headdress sat at the head of the table, Danzo knelt alone below.
The six samurai responsible for the daimyo's close protection lay motionless on the ground, their fates unknown.
Danzo covered his right eye with the bandage and said calmly, "The events in Konoha were a frame-up by a mysterious person."
" Sarutobi not only lost the Scroll of Seals Konoha had treasured for many years, but also fell for the enemy's counter-espionage plot. As Hokage, this is truly unacceptable."
Danzo deeply. "Your Excellency's judgment is astute; please restore my innocence."
The daimyo, holding a feather fan, slowly regained his composure. "Oh, so that's the truth."
" Danzo, get up. I'll send someone to explain to Konoha. You just need to return with the group."
Danzo, bowed again, and then turned to leave.
At the mansion gate, six ninjas, led by Asuma Sarutobi, who were sent by Konoha to protect the mansion, kept a close eye on Yamanaka Fū and Aburame Torune.
They were already aware of the major events that had occurred in Konoha, Danzo's defection, and the messages relayed by summoning beasts.
Today, Danzo appeared. Asuma led his men to stop him, but they were stopped by two people. Afterwards, Danzo passed through the encirclement and whispered a few words to the daimyo before being ordered to stop fighting.
They were also left outside to guard the door under the pretext of discussing confidential matters.
Although they knew the visitors meant no harm, they dared not disobey the daimyo's orders and could only keep a close eye on Danzo's two subordinates.
Ignoring the wary stares of the Danzo, Danzo slowly walked to the door. "Find a side hall to stay in first. We'll return to Konoha once the Daimyo has arranged for the return of the personnel."
Inside an izakaya (Japanese pub) that had its "closed" sign up during the day.
Fugaku, Shisui, and Itachi gathered together.
"Itachi, did that Masked Man come looking for you?" Shisui asked.
Itachi said calmly, "Just like the Dafuweng said, I joined the organization after giving him a few perfunctory replies."
"We only have a couple of days to move around freely. Once he convinces Orochimaru to join us, he'll assign us missions."
Shisui nodded, then turned to Fugaku, "Clan leader, what is the Dafuweng planning to do by summoning us?"
"This place isn't far from the daimyo's residence."
After Shisui finished asking his question, Itachi looked at his father with a serious expression.
If it's a plan to disrupt peace, Itachi will try to stop it.
Fugaku curled his lip and said impatiently, "That guy said he wanted to collect debts, who knows what his plans are."
During this period, because he had been impersonating an ancestor, Fugaku's temper was not very good.
Buzzing
The golden Kunai.
The space in front of the three people became chaotic for a moment, and then a figure leaped out.
Hello~
Obito, dressed like Haruma, greeted him.
An ordinary ninja could cover the distance in about three days if they advanced at full speed.
In half a day, following the marks that Fugaku and Shisui had deliberately placed along the way, Haruma sped all the way from Konoha to Daimyoya in the Land of Fire.
