Starting from Uchiha Obito

While Obito was concentrating on his training, Konoha was in turmoil. The rumors originally targeting Uchiha had no market when Uchiha started issuing missions. The missions issued by the Security Department were time-consuming but safe missions, which were very attractive to ordinary middle and lower-level ninjas. Without this group, there were not many audiences for the rumors. Civilians were indifferent and could only watch the fun at most. After Uchiha had arrested people several times, even if they were angry, they only dared to vent it in secret. The upper ninjas were the only group that was not affected, because their task volume had not decreased. Instead, the operations of the Third Hokage increased some tasks originally assigned to middle and lower-level ninjas. They didn't have any grievances, but they were not in the mood to object when someone slandered Uchiha.

As the rumors became ineffective, the problem facing the Third Generation changed from how to discredit the Uchiha to how to prevent power from being lost.

"What are Uchiha trying to do! How dare they!" The roaring voice belonged to Mito Kado En. Originally, all the tasks of Konoha were assigned to him by the Third Hokage. Except for the particularly important tasks, he was the one who assigned the general tasks. Uchiha's practice of bypassing the Hokage Building and issuing tasks from the Security Department obviously touched his nerves.

"Huruzen cannot allow the Uchiha to do whatever they want. They are blatantly stealing the power of Hokage." Danzo stood up and made his attitude clear.

"Huruzen, the Uchiha using Konoha's financial funds to issue their own family's missions is a trend that cannot be allowed to continue. It must be firmly stopped." Utatane Koharu is in charge of Konoha's finances and is most sensitive to money.

The Third Hokage exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I have already asked Uchiha Fugaku to come and talk, you can come together later."

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the Anbu guarding the gate came to report that Uchiha Fugaku had arrived.

"Bring him in." As the Third Hokage gave the order, Uchiha Fugaku walked into the Hokage's office not long after. He looked confident and calm in his casual clothes. He already knew why the Third Hokage called him in.

"Third-generation sama, three elders." He still maintained basic courtesy towards the high-ranking officials of Konoha.

"Uchiha Fugaku, do you Uchiha want to rebel against the village? Who allowed you to issue missions privately?" Without waiting for Fugaku to sit down, Mito Menen started questioning.

"Does Konoha have a rule that we Uchiha cannot issue missions? The rules of Konoha are jointly formulated by us Uchiha and the Senju clan. As far as I can remember, there is no such rule. Instead, it states that all Konoha residents have the right to issue missions. We Uchiha should also be considered Konoha residents. Perhaps Elder Menyan should take a good look at the history of the founding of Konoha." Fugaku was not annoyed. He spoke calmly after sitting down.

"You...if everyone does this, are there any rules in Konoha?" Mito Kado Yan was speechless for a moment, but still retorted forcefully without being convinced.

"Elder Menen, let me reiterate again that the rules of Konoha were established by the Uchiha and the Senju together. There is no such restriction in the rules we set." Fugaku looked at Mito Menen seriously and said.

"But the Uchiha's funds come from Konoha's treasury. We allocate funds to the Security Department to maintain Konoha's public order. It's not good for Patriarch Fugaku to embezzle the Security Department's funds without authorization." Seeing that Mito Kado En was completely unable to cope with it, Utane Koharu immediately changed the subject.

"I used all of Konoha's funding for the Security Department. This money is Uchiha's own fund. I did not embezzle a single cent of Konoha's funding. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to check. But if no embezzlement is found after the investigation, I will need a public apology." Fugaku turned his head and looked at Utatane Koharu. He had considered this kind of problem from the very beginning, and all procedures were seamless and there was no problem at all.

"Okay, tomorrow I will bring people to the security team to check the accounts." Utane Koharu laughed inwardly, thinking that he was indeed a young man with no experience in struggle.

The questioning in the Hokage building ended abruptly because Utane Koharu and Uchiha Fugaku reached an agreement.

Both sides felt they had achieved their goal.

The next day, Koharu Tsuchiya led a group of people towards the Security Department in a mighty manner, and they were just short of beating drums and gongs, which caused the villagers of Konoha along the way to talk about it.

"Where are all these people going? Is there another war?"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. When has Elder Xiaochun ever gone on an expedition? Judging from the direction he's heading, he's heading to the Security Department."

"Something happened to the security department?"

"Something's wrong with the Uchiha?"

"I heard that the security department expanded a lot of people some time ago. I was wondering how they suddenly had the money to recruit so many people. Elder Xiaochun is now bringing so many people over. It should be a problem of funds. Could it be that Uchiha embezzled money?"

"It should be, damn Uchiha."

Hearing the discussions of the residents around him, Xiaochun smiled in his heart with a serious face, "The little Uchiha guy doesn't understand politics at all. It's not his fault. The Uchiha has never held power, so it's normal for him not to understand."

A group of people walked towards the guard team amid the discussions of the Konoha civilians. Fugaku was already standing at the door waiting. He had seen everything upstairs before and knew that he had fallen into a trap, but the impact had already been caused and could not be changed.

"Elder Koharu is very calculating. Please come in now. Since there are so many people here, I believe the review can be completed quickly." Fugaku spoke calmly, suppressing the annoyance in his heart.

"Don't be impatient, Patriarch Fugaku, let's start now." Utane Koharu replied with a smile.

Then came the long audit process. Utatane Koharu didn't want to find any problems in the accounts of the Security Department. Fugaku must have been well prepared if he dared to let him audit. No matter if there were any problems, there would be no problems from the accounts. She was just a means to achieve her goal. The real goal had to be achieved by Menyan.

Just a few days after Koharu Utane and his men were doing auditing work in the Security Department, the Third Hokage again sent someone to call Fugaku to the Hokage Building. At this time, Obito had returned from his studies and entered his mansion in Uchiha.

"These are the problems that Koharu found." As soon as Fugaku entered the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen handed him a scroll, claiming that it contained all the problems that had been found.

Fugaku took the scroll suspiciously and only glanced at it briefly before he determined that it was all false accusations. He held the scroll in his hand and said in a cold voice: "These are all slanders. I have evidence to prove that these sums of money have nothing to do with Konoha's funding."

"Really? Then please provide evidence, Fugaku. However, before we find out the truth, shouldn't we stop issuing your tasks?" Mito Kado En spoke immediately.

"......This is the resolution of the clan meeting. Although I am the clan leader, I cannot veto it alone." Fugaku hesitated and did not agree. He could imagine how the little guy Obito would mock him if he agreed.

"Uchiha Fugaku, this is informing you, not asking for your opinion. We can't just watch you Uchiha misappropriate Konoha's funds to do your own things." Danzo stood up and stared down at Fugaku.

".....I said I have evidence to prove it."

"I also said that we need to pause until we find out clearly."

Seeing that both sides were frozen, a voice appeared in the Hokage's office.

"Hey, are you going to fight? Why didn't you call me?" Uchiha Obito came out of the Kamui space. After he returned home, before he had a rest, his fellow Uchiha came to report him. The current Uchiha clan leader is Fugaku, but everyone knows that he is the biggest one.

"Uchiha Obito, do you still have the Hokage in your heart? This is the Hokage's office, not your home!" Danzo looked for the voice and saw Obito and immediately yelled.

"What? Is there a rule in Konoha that I can't enter the Hokage's office?" Obito looked at Danzo's excited expression and opened his Sharingan. It was not a threat but just to avoid sneak attacks. The Four Symbols Seal was one of the ways that could threaten him in this ninja world.

"You bastard, what do you want to do? Do you want to betray the village?" When Danzo saw Obito's open Sharingan, he put a big hat on him.

"I betrayed the village? Hahahaha~ Have you ever heard of people betraying ants?"

"you!"

"enough!"

The Third Hokage, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up when he saw that a fight was about to break out.

"Fugaku, are you still the leader of your Uchiha clan now?" The Third Hokage looked at Fugaku and asked.

It was a low-level provocation. Obito spoke first without waiting for Fugaku to answer: "I roughly heard what it was. I paid for the Uchiha missions. It was also my suggestion to issue missions to subsidize the income of the mid-level and low-level ninjas who were influenced by me. If you have any questions, tell me. The money is not his and he can't make the decision."

Several people in the Hokage's office looked at Obito in surprise. Uchiha paying 1000 million to quell the rumors was not a big loss. They had not considered where the Uchiha got the money. After all, it was normal for a ninja clan with a history of thousands of years to have some savings. But Uchiha Obito paid the money? Why did he do that?

"By the way, I have some trash to return to you. I was disturbed when I just got home. I heard that these trash were checking my money, so I brought it back to you." As he spoke, Obito opened a Kamui channel in his hand, and a group of people rolled out. Everyone had a dazed expression, obviously under the influence of an illusion, including Utatane Koharu.

I'm not used to not having my left eye, and I can only open a channel next to me.

"Uchiha Obito!" This time Danzo took action directly and stabbed Obito with a kunai.

Ignoring the kunai that was stabbing at him, Obito's Sharingan was always open and he could see everything in the room clearly. Sarutobi Hiruzen showed anger and shock on his face as he caught Koharu Utane who was about to fall to the ground. He was a Hokage after all, so it was normal that his speed was faster than the speed of a human body rolling.

Mizuto Menen seemed to be just shocked and hadn't figured out what to do yet. It was estimated that his fighting ability was already not as good as that of an average Chunin.

Fugaku was shocked for a moment before regaining his composure. It seemed that he had some understanding of Obito's temper.

Facing Danzo's attack, Obito was even distracted and thought about something else, then he left his original place and appeared beside Danzo, pressing one hand on Danzo's right shoulder and applying a little force.
