Chapter 106 The Chase
Chapter 106 The Chase
The Uchiha clan is sometimes prone to extremes, but that doesn't mean they are all brainless. Under normal circumstances, their brain capacity is no different from that of a normal person.
Well, the Uchiha clan is a type of ninja, and they are not reproductively isolated from other ninjas.
"The orphanage was not functionally important, but it was very symbolic. Ninjas could not avoid sacrifice, which meant that the children of ninjas would inevitably become orphans."
This may sound harsh, but it reveals a cruel truth.
"The nursing home is even a direct department under the Hokage's office, which means that if there are problems at the nursing home, the responsibility can ultimately be traced back to the Hokage."
"Our Uchiha clan has always been suppressed by the Konoha leadership. Now that we have the opportunity, we should certainly give them a small counterattack."
After a brief analysis, the Uchiha captain almost chuckled.
Occupying the highest point of public opinion is something anyone can do. The Uchiha clan's reputation in Konoha is unlikely to improve, but it can certainly worsen the reputation of the Hokage lineage.
Why does the Uchiha clan suffer both invisible oppression and visible discrimination when everyone is a ninja?
"This—it seems like a really good opportunity."
"Forty years ago, the reconciliation between the Uchiha and Senju clans led to the formation of Konoha. As one of the founders of Konoha, the Uchiha are now being treated so unfairly."
That's not all. To be honest, the name Konoha was given by Madara Uchiha.
"Uchiha's little bit of willfulness should be forgiven."
After realizing that this matter could cause trouble for the Hokage, the Uchiha ninjas present quickly reached a consensus. They made their decision without even planning to report to the higher-ups or clan leaders first.
"What should we do with that intruder who's been playing us for fools? Are we just going to let it go?"
"Of course not. Those who use the Uchiha should pay the price, but—let's investigate that later and deal with the immediate problem first."
It would be difficult to catch the escaped person in a short time, so the captain decided to carry out a "slap in the face mission" first.
"Start an investigation immediately, and take all the administrators of the nursing home into custody, especially the director—who was the director again?"
That's why the nursing home is such a little-known department; even Captain Uchiha didn't know who the director was.
"His name seems to be Yakushiji Fusen, and he's a medical ninja," someone said.
"A medical ninja?" The captain glanced at the corpse on the autopsy table, feeling that the hospital director was even more suspicious. "Find him, capture him."
The Uchiha ninja left the basement, and then the lights in the orphanage were turned on, plunging the place into complete chaos.
An Uchiha ninja blocked the gate of the orphanage, and at this point, the other Konoha ninjas could no longer ignore it and quickly surrounded them.
"Uchiha, what's wrong with you? What are you doing, attacking the orphanage?"
Faced with such unfounded accusations, the Uchiha ninja stood tall and proud, retorting righteously: "Attack the orphanage? Hmph, we discovered a secret laboratory inside the orphanage. The laboratory is full of traces of human experimentation. Someone is disregarding the safety of the people of Konoha and conducting forbidden experiments!"
"The nursing home is now under the control of the military. If anyone takes any extreme actions, we have reason to suspect that he is related to forbidden experiments."
"Those who dare to force their way in, are they trying to destroy evidence?"
The Uchiha ninja launched into a tirade at the door, displaying an imposing aura of being able to hold off ten thousand men.
A nursing home? A forbidden experiment?
Judging from the Uchiha ninja's attitude, it was highly likely that what he said was true. He was spreading it around, and the Konoha ninjas outside were also discussing it.
Having heard what the other party said, no one would dare to easily break into the nursing home at this point.
"Quickly, go and inform the Anbu and the Hokage!"
When in doubt, report it to the authorities first; you can't go wrong doing that.
Yakushiji Fusen left the charitable institution first; he was trying to escape.
"It turned out to be the Uchiha Security Forces. In some ways, their arrival is worse than the arrival of the Anbu. At least the Anbu can offer explanations—after all, they had cooperated before."
Forced to leave his comfortable environment, Yakushiji Fuchen was somewhat bewildered for a moment; he was simply forcing himself to think.
"A powerless person raised in such an environment should have an incredibly cowardly side to their personality, so why did they dare to expose it?"
"Isn't he afraid of the unpredictable consequences if things escalate?"
Clearly, Yakushiji Fusen understood the reason for the changes that occurred tonight. He had been paying close attention to Yugen recently, and only Yugen could have caused the current situation. No one else had any motive.
"The Uchiha took the initiative to attack? No, the Uchiha ninjas were probably lured here, or even attracted by hatred—that's really bold, ordinary ninjas don't have this ability." Yakushiji Fusen guessed roughly.
-
To be chased by Uchiha ninjas without being caught is extremely difficult, something most ninjas would struggle to do. — Yugen was only able to do this thanks to the Fourth Hokage's Body Flicker Technique; otherwise, he would have been intercepted by the Uchiha ninjas halfway there.
"Unfortunately, that person wasn't in the village at the crucial moment. With this link lost, you can imagine the Hokage's attitude—"
I have no choice but to find a safe place to hide for now.
Time rewinds slightly, and Yu Xian leaves his clone inside the nursing home while his main body quietly withdraws.
He paused briefly in the shadows outside the orphanage, and then Kohinata Shingen, with his exceptional senses, found him.
"Someone has left. The person who leaves first at a time like this must be a key figure—" Zhenyan brought crucial information to Yuxian.
"It should be Yakushiji Fusen," Yugen said.
"Should we go after them?"
"Senior, can you still sense the other person?"
"No problem for now, but the opponent is moving very fast."
"Then let's not rush, let's wait a bit, I haven't obtained the key evidence yet—" Yu Xian held back for the time being.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
After Yu Xian's clone was destroyed and all the information it had experienced returned to his main body, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shadow clones are indeed the protagonist's most frequently used skill. Not only are they convenient, but their intelligence-gathering ability is simply outrageous. Now that I have substantial evidence, I can act boldly."
"Senior, leave things here to the Uchiha. We'll go capture them, using a combination of overt and covert tactics."
"So, in other words, forbidden experiments are really being conducted inside—okay, follow me."
Kohinata Shingen, while not necessarily hating evil, at least couldn't stand the practice of experimenting on orphans, so he immediately led Hagen in pursuit in a certain direction.
