Naruto: I'm in Konoha, my name is Uzumaki Menma

Chapter 81 You'll Regret It! Hiruzen! [Fifth Update, Please Subscribe]

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, has left.

Before leaving, he told Shisui to take good care of his injuries and gave Uchiha Fugaku a deep look.

That meaningful look made Fugaku feel very uncomfortable.

Since becoming the head of the Uchiha clan, he has been trying to find ways to make the Uchiha more integrated into the village.

During the Third Shinobi World War, he personally led his troops on the front lines and forged a deep friendship with Minato Namikaze.

His wife, Mikoto, is also a close friend of Minato Namikaze's wife, Kushina Uzumaki.

When Minato Namikaze became the Fourth Hokage, Fugaku Uchiha seemed to see the dawn of the Uchiha clan's complete integration into the village.

However, the chaos caused by the Nine-Tailed Fox changed everything.

The rampaging Nine-Tails not only destroyed many buildings in the village, but also took the lives of many villagers and ninjas. The Sharingan in the Nine-Tails' eyes pointed the finger directly at the Uchiha clan!
The deaths of the Fourth Hokage and his wife left the Uchiha clan politically without any support.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who regained power, continued the suppression policy against the Uchiha clan from the Second Hokage's time. He even moved the Uchiha clan's territory to a place further away from the village because of the Nine-Tails' attack.

Now another Mangekyou Sharingan that had been roaming outside has appeared...

Fugaku Uchiha was truly exhausted, both physically and mentally. He could already imagine how the higher-ups in Konoha would criticize the Uchiha clan.

"Clan leader." Shisui's call brought Fugaku back to his senses.

He looked at the youngest member of the clan, the three-tomoe Uchiha, and comforted him, "You should rest well."

Shisui, however, grabbed Fugaku's hand.

Their eyes met, and Shisui whispered, "She has Susanoo... a complete Susanoo..."

When Fugaku heard about the Complete Susanoo, his heart skipped a beat.

This is the third power that only the Mangekyou Sharingan can unleash!

Even Fugaku has only just mastered some basic forms of Susanoo, and is still far from the complete form.

"As expected, it was that person who took away a member of the clan." Fugaku was even more certain of the Uchiha's origins.

Only in this way can we explain why an Uchiha bloodline who was separated from his family could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan at a young age and even evolve Susanoo to its complete form without the family's guidance!

Uchiha Madara!

Only the strongest clan leader in the history of the Uchiha clan could have cultivated such a powerful individual!
Although when this clan chief defected, clan records show that no clansmen followed him.

However, Madara Uchiha did take away a lot of the clan's books.

If Madara Uchiha secretly took a few clansmen away, then everything makes sense.

It has to be Uchiha Madara!

------

Hokage Building.

"Hiruzen! The Uchiha clan must be held accountable!" Danzo stormed into the Hokage's office, a sinister glint in his single eye.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had just returned from the hospital after visiting the Shisui Squad and hadn't even had a chance to sit down properly.

Faced with his old friend's persistent questioning, he immediately put on a serious face and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the Uchiha clan in the village."

"The Uchiha bloodline is scattered abroad; this is a dereliction of duty on their part!" Danzo persisted.

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe, took a deep drag of smoke, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring: "It should be a minority of clansmen that Madara Uchiha took away."

Uchiha Madara! Even the cunning Danzo was taken aback upon hearing this name.

Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi were born before the founding of Konoha. They grew up listening to the stories of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and even saw Hashirama Senju in person.

As for the other protagonist of the story, Madara Uchiha, who was on par with Hashirama Senju, also left a deep impression on them.

Madara Uchiha left the village in Konoha Year 2, attempting to take his clansmen with him, but it is said that no one was willing to go with him.

After disappearing for several years, Madara Uchiha returned and wreaked havoc!
He was eventually killed by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, at the Valley of the End.

When Madara Uchiha was killed by Hashirama Senju, Danzo Shimura and the others were already genin or chunin.

Even decades later, they still feel lingering fear when they think of Madara Uchiha.

"Don't blame everything on Uchiha Madara! He's been dead for many years!" But Danzo didn't believe such a statement, or rather, he pretended not to believe it.

This was solely to put pressure on the Uchiha clan.

"I will send people to continue investigating the intelligence on Hoshigakure." Hiruzen Sarutobi did not inform Danzo of the information about the Uzumaki clan.

Even after learning the secret of Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan technique 'Kotoamatsukami', he hesitated whether to tell Danzo.

At this moment, Danzo also remembered Nagato, whom he and Hanzo had tricked in Amegakure years ago.

'Could this Uchiha be related to the Akatsuki?' Danzo was uncertain and prepared to send someone to investigate.

The Land of Bears is too far from the Land of Fire, separated by several other countries. Furthermore, the Land of Bears is sandwiched between the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, making it impossible for Konoha to deploy a large-scale ninja force.

"No matter what, this is the bloodline of the Uchiha clan. Either bring her back, or..." Danzo hated the Uchiha clan to the core, but he couldn't accept that there were Uchiha clan members wandering outside the village!
"So, who are you planning to send to capture them?" Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe and asked in return, "Even an elite Jonin like Shisui is no match for them, and the enemy certainly has more than just one high-level combatant."

They all knew that Shisui's strength was definitely among the top three in the Uchiha clan, and he might even surpass Fugaku, the clan leader, in a few years.

The other two members of this team are a Jonin from the Hyuga clan and a war veteran whose taijutsu skills are close to those of a Jonin.

Such an elite Jonin-led squad was so badly defeated by an enemy.

"Hmph, I have my own plans!" Danzo snorted, his one eye fixed on the Third Hokage, and seized the opportunity to say, "If you return the armor to me..."

Before Danzo could finish speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted him: "Don't even think about it!"

"'Tenzo's' Wood Release belongs to Konoha, not to you, Danzo!" Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in his chair, his gaze meeting that of Danzo, who was standing.

Although Danzo was mentally prepared for being loudly reprimanded by Hiruzen Sarutobi, it still made him furious.

He painstakingly picked up a Wood Release ninja from Orochimaru's experimental materials, and after nurturing him for so many years, he was outmaneuvered by Hiruzen Sarutobi!

After that mission to pursue Orochimaru, Kou seemed to have become a different person, and his belief in loyalty to Orochimaru began to waver.

He even had a dispute with Danzo.

Sensing that the chess piece was getting out of control, Danzo tried to control Yamato using Sharingan genjutsu and cursed seals, but was interrupted by Kakashi, who suddenly broke into the Root base and rescued Yamato.

Danzo, of course, did not want to see such a pawn slip away, so he immediately sent Root ninjas to hunt him down.

However, they were stopped by Hiruzen Sarutobi, who arrived just in time.

As the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi transferred "Kou" away from Root and placed him under the direct command of the Hokage's Anbu, which Danzo resented!

Hiruzen Sarutobi warned, "Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

"You'll regret this, Hiruzen!" Danzo angrily left those words and slammed the door shut.

boom!
Looking at the slammed door and Hiruzen Sarutobi surrounded by wisps of smoke, the furrows on his brows deepened even further.

The Uchiha and Uzumaki clans who were separated from their families... What exactly happened in Hoshigakure?
