Chapter 124 The Enemy is in the Hokage's Office!
The noisy gate fell silent for a moment.
An ANBU member approached Yuuki first and whispered, "Jonin Yuuki, the Hokage requests your presence in his office for a discussion."
Upon hearing this, Yuuki withdrew his healing technique and forced a polite smile.
"It's my fault that my fellow members in the association have been persecuted. How should I handle this? Should I continue to hide it from them?"
"This is not in accordance with the Will of Fire!"
Password correct!
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi realized he couldn't continue down this pretense and strode towards the gate.
"Hokage-sama!" Yuuki exclaimed, his face full of indignation, like a wronged child, pointing to the dozen or so hospital beds. "Now that you're here, the problem is solved!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked surprised, his brows furrowed, and glanced at the 'zombies' on the ground before asking, "Yuuki, what's going on?"
"Release them first."
finally come.
Retrieve the insect net.
Regardless of whether Hiruzen Sarutobi was feigning ignorance or genuinely naive, Yuuki decisively followed the conversation and loudly complained, "This morning, I received orders from the village not to allow any Uchiha clan members to return to Konoha during the festival. I have been staying at the outpost treating the wounded."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Uchiha clan members present changed.
Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed twice and corrected, "For the safety of the wounded, you will remain at the outpost for the time being."
This explanation is barely plausible, but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
If you were worried about the safety of the wounded on the battlefield, why didn't you send a village medic to treat them?
Instead, the 'medical ninjas' who made meritorious contributions on the battlefield were exhausted from treatment and had their return to the village delayed.
“Yes, temporarily stationed.” Yushu quickly glossed over the details, leaving a few thoughts in mind, and tried to keep his tone objective. “Then, I received a message from within the clan.”
My younger brother, Miyamoto Kumano, appeared at the festival, severely injured, to report on the internal strife within the medical association.
Fearing an attack on the village, I immediately decided to hurry back.
After confirming that the village was unharmed, I went to the association to investigate, but was stopped by a Jonin named Utatane.
It was then discovered that some of the medical association's management personnel had been detained!
Koharu Tsurugi immediately retorted, "They weren't detained, they were just asked to cooperate with the investigation!"
"Where are the Hokage's order and the Anbu's search warrant? Where is the police department's report?" Uchiha Morikazu stepped forward to retort. "The association's thirteen victims are not ninjas. Even if an investigation is to be conducted, it should be handled by our police department. When did it become your place to investigate?"
"That's a village secret." Koharu Utatane sized up Moriichi's attire, realizing he was just a Chunin, and snorted coldly, "No comment!"
"You don't have to tell me if you're a Jonin who'll switch places!" Yuuki's tone was incredibly calm as he turned to the Hokage. "Hokage-sama, as the president of the Medical Association, can I give instructions? Should I be in the know?"
“I have no objection to the village investigating the medical association. But I haven’t received any news about detaining the high-ranking officials.”
"Is it that the village doesn't trust me, this war hero, or that they suspect the police department, or even the Uchiha clan?"
That's too forceful!
Mitomon was shocked; this kid seemed like a completely different person.
The Second Hokage was right; awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan is accompanied by a drastic change in mindset.
As expected, they are the evil Uchiha!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback, then reassured him, "The village wouldn't suspect its own comrades unjustly, Yuuki, don't overthink it!"
Yuuki has changed!
The Will of Fire may still be there, but it no longer walks the same path as me.
Those who walk different paths are enemies!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned serious.
"The problem with the medical association is not just that its administrators are being detained." Yuuki briefly introduced Miyamoto Kumano, emphasizing that Kumano was in charge of financial management.
However, the medical association has not paid out any remuneration for nearly two months!
"Not paying wages? That's outrageous!"
The Uchiha genin standing on the periphery were discussing among themselves, deeply sympathetic.
Many of them have friends.
The primary source of income for ninjas is mission rewards!
Without pay, we simply can't make a living!
Only large clans like the Uchiha are so wealthy that the clan and the police department would provide certain subsidies to all clan members.
If you're just an ordinary genin, you'll suffer a lot if you don't get paid!
Yuuki, with a serious expression, concluded: "The Medical Association's treasury is empty!"
All eyes turned to Koharu Utatane!
Even the wounded lying in the hospital bed forced themselves to sit up and stared angrily at the scene.
Xiaochun, who was turning the dorm, was stunned: "It wasn't me, I didn't have any, there was never any money in the vault!"
At the same time, he cursed inwardly that the Uchiha clan had no martial ethics!
As is customary, isn't the control of a new department a matter of open and covert struggles?
Why is the Uchiha clan reacting so strongly? They really are an extreme clan!
Mitomon Yan lay on the ground, his ears perked up, staring motionlessly at the sky.
Unfortunately, ever since the live footage of the battlefield in the Land of Rain was exposed, he has lost all credibility in making political statements.
He wasn't removed from his advisory position entirely to maintain balance with Akimichi Torifu.
Yuuki sighed. "So, you admit to breaking into the Medical Association's treasury? You admit to embezzling your colleagues' pay?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes.
Xiaochun, what have you done this time?
He met Yuuki's determined gaze, and, not wanting to be led by the nose, decisively resorted to the art of compromise.
"The treasury is empty and people are injured; it's very serious!"
"However, there are many suspicious points, as they involve Jonin Utatane and Clan Chief Tomishiro. Please rest assured, after the Hokage's office investigates, there will definitely be a reasonable result."
Yuuki's expression remained unchanged, while Shouichi, standing beside him, turned around and gave him a look.
Several young Uchiha members rushed out, shouting.
"Sacrifice! This is a blasphemy against the reputation of the Uchiha clan! The investigation is unreliable!"
"Lord Yuuki, you've awakened the Kaleidoscope! You must stand up for your injured comrades!"
"Uchiha Tomioka disregarded mission rules, disrupted village unity, and jeopardized the prosperity of his clan. He is a sinner!"
"The enemy is in the Hokage's office, right next to the Hokage!"
Seeing this, the 'clan head faction' standing next to Uchiha Fugaku could no longer sit still.
"Slander! You are slandering Chief Fu Cheng!"
"Young clan leader Fugaku, say something!"
Even the seemingly peacemakers, who were supposedly on the sidelines, stepped forward to uphold justice: "Everyone can talk, but let's calm down and absolutely not rebel!"
Upon hearing this, the Uchiha members present fell silent.
They exchanged a glance, then she glanced at Yuuki's eyes.
It seems... there's potential!
But everyone restrained themselves without prior arrangement.
"I choose Lord Uchiha Yuuki, he is the one everyone wants!"
"Become the clan leader and uncover the truth! Become the clan leader and uncover the truth!"
The crowd was outraged!
More than a hundred Uchiha ninjas gathered intermittently at the entrance, their spirits high!
It's not that he's a doctor who's particularly empathetic to those who are hurt.
Instead, it's about empathizing with yourself and with the people of your tribe who are stationed here!
It's always like this!
The Uchiha clan made so many contributions to the village, yet they were nowhere to be seen during the victory celebrations!
That's not right!
Hearing that the Medical Association was making a fuss, Elder Chu Huo, who kept his merits hidden, quietly strolled home.
Hey,
There aren't that many supporters of the clan chief.
Isn't it all just an act by us Uchiha?
Sarutobi Ryoto is indeed getting old.
Didn't you notice that none of the elders were present?
