Naruto Alchemist

Chapter 48 Sacrifice
The residence of the Uchiha family.

There was silence in the station.

In the training ground in the Uchiha Clan's garrison, there are people from the Konoha Security Force in the dark.

In front of everyone, a middle-aged man in his 40s with a ferocious appearance kept pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something or waiting for something.

This person's name is Uchiha Shiro, the captain of the Konoha garrison.

After standing and waiting for a long time, the members of the Uchiha clan below inevitably felt bored, and slowly began to discuss in a low voice.

"What is the captain calling us here for today?"

"I don't know, do you have any idea?"

"Maybe it's because Uchiha Kuma was wrong before, it should be the blood pond, the blood pond bear and those people, right?"

"We Uchiha are obviously also victims. Why is the village planning to punish us? Not only will the Konoha garrison's budget for next year be cut, but we will also be asked to hand over those who have colluded with the Blood Pond clan."

"By the way, the people who colluded with the Blood Pond Clan are not the elders above? Aren't they the ones who insisted on absorbing the Blood Pond Clan into Uchiha despite the opposition from the clan?"

"Aren't you coveting the boundaries of the blood successors of the Blood Pool clan, wanting to marry people in the clan and have children after absorbing them in? We already have sharingan, so why are we coveting other people's blood dragon eyes?"

"quiet!"

Uchiha Shirou looked at the clansmen below who were discussing more and more loudly, and his face was also gloomy. After angrily shouting, the atmosphere of the scene returned to the original silence again.

"A bunch of idiots!"

Looking at the silent clansmen below, Uchiha Shiro's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip. If it wasn't because these idiots were getting worse and worse, why would the elders in the clan want to absorb fresh blood into the Uchiha clan? Woolen cloth?
Although I tried my best to oppose the absorption of people from the Xuezhichi clan into the Uchiha clan at the time, but I was weak. Even if I was in charge of the Konoha garrison of the Uchiha clan, I couldn't persuade the patriarch and the elders of the clan to change their minds. This led to the occurrence of the blood pool family incident.

"Sir, thank you for your hard work."

A middle-aged man in his fifties with black and white hair came out of the house. He patted Uchiha Minister on the shoulder, and then walked straight towards the members of the Konoha garrison.

The person who came was the current patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Well.

"Hello, Lord Patriarch!" All the clan members of the security force greeted loudly when they saw the Patriarch coming.

"Well, the elites of the Uchiha clan, hello everyone." Uchiha waved his hand to everyone, signaling to be quiet.
When the clansmen became quiet, he took a deep breath and put on a smiling face.

"To call everyone here today, there are two things."

"First, I want to see how the elites of our Uchiha clan are doing mentally." Uchiha Jing scanned the crowd with his eyes, not angry but mighty.

"See if you are diligent in cultivation, and whether you can still be called the elite of our Uchiha clan, the pride of our clan."

Hearing this, all the members of the Uchiha clan present straightened their backs, held their heads upright, and looked arrogant.

Seeing the high spirits of the people present, Uchihai nodded with satisfaction, but the Uchiha attendant at the side saw a trace of sadness in Uchihai's eyes.

"Second, I have something to announce."

"Konoha Security Force, the third squad, Uchiha Chiba, Uchiha Takaya. Above, all members stand out."

The Uchiha clan whose names were read by Uchiha felt a little uncomfortable, but Uchiha, as the patriarch, obediently obeyed and stood up after years of accumulating prestige.

"Does anyone want to explain to me?" Uchihai looked at the ten or so members of the Uchiha clan who came out, and his tone was extremely disappointed.

"Since the spring of Konoha 30, how many smugglers have you let into the village by abusing your power?"

"If you don't perform your duties seriously, entrusting them to the outsiders of the Blood Pool family, the enemy's spies, traitors, and even the hired ninjas of the low-level sneak into Konoha and run wild in our homeland, you know ?"

Uchihai's tone was severe, and he continued to reprimand: "Because of your dereliction of duty, how many innocent people in Konoha lost their lives because of this?"

"You don't deserve to be called Uchiha anymore, the Uchiha clan can't tolerate you."

"In addition, I, Uchiha Well, hereby announce my resignation as Uchiha Patriarch. The next patriarch will be temporarily handed over to Uchiha Shiro as the agent until the elders discuss the results."

After Uchihai made the announcement, he turned around, ignored the uproar of the clansmen, and left directly.

After explaining these things, there was only one last thing left for him to do.
-
"So you're about to confess, where did you get the information from?"

In Hokage's office, Tsunade held a whip in his hand, and looked at Sansuke, who was tied to a chair with a sly smile, and standing next to Sansuke was the expressionless Orochimaru and his extremely rippling smile. Zi Lai also.

Sangsuke turned his head away, not wanting to talk to Tsunade.

"Tsunade, I just told you to bring Sangsuke here, why did you just tie him up?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi held his forehead in confusion, "He is also the patriarch of the Sato clan after all."

"Is there a problem?" Tsunade glanced at Hiruzaru Sarutobi.

"I've even pulled Hokage's beard." Hiruzaru Sarutobi subconsciously covered his beard.

"Hokage's disciple was also severely injured by me." Jiraiya, who was smiling extremely, suddenly stiffened.

"So what's the point of me tying up one more patriarch of the Sato clan?" Tsunade smiled, putting his hands on Sansuke's shoulders, "I'm right, little Sansuke."

Sangzhu rolled his eyes, expressing that he had nothing to say.

"Okay, the nonsense is over." Yuanfei sighed helplessly, "Sangzhu, I hope you can tell me frankly about the next thing."

"Here are people you can trust, so you can feel comfortable speaking up about everything."

"Where did you get the information about the assassination of the daimyo and the imminent riots in the village caused by the blood pool clan?"

After Hiruzaru Sarutobi's words fell, Hokage's office, which seemed a bit noisy at first, suddenly fell silent. All the eyes on the scene were focused on Sansuke, waiting for Sansuke's answer.

Everyone's eyes were like thorns on Sangsuke's back, and the smile on Sangsuke's face, who originally wanted to fool him with a playful smile, became stiff.

Fortunately, Sangzhu had predicted that such a day would come.

"What do you think?" Sangsuke tilted his head, pretending to be casually looking at everyone in the venue, "Do you think I, a ninja school student who hasn't even graduated from ninja school, can obtain such information?"

Before everyone could guess, Sang Zhu asked himself and answered: "I picked it up."

"Huh?" The four present couldn't believe their ears, did they pick it up?

"I just finished my special training last week and picked it up on the way home."

The few people present looked at each other in blank dismay. When can this kind of confidential information be picked up all over the street?It's not picking up soap.

"I didn't lie to you, I really picked it up." Sangsuke said with an innocent expression on his face, "The scroll said that during the competition, someone would assassinate the daimyo and cause an explosion in the village at the same time. Invite friends to act together in the sparring match."

"Why did you hide the information and not hand it in?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned, still not convinced by Sangsuke's explanation in his heart.

If it was something else, Hiruzaru Sarutobi might just turn a blind eye and let it go, but this matter is too important, and he must get a satisfactory explanation.

"After I finished reading the information scroll, the information scroll spontaneously ignited and burned directly."

Sangsuke shrugged and said helplessly, "If I tell you that the daimyo will be assassinated and the village will be bombed, will anyone believe me?"

"Don't say you don't believe it, I don't believe it myself."

"If I say these words without evidence, you will only think I am talking nonsense, and the end result is not the same?"

"No, I'll try to trust you."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed, stepped forward, and untied the rope for Sangsuke.

"Sangsuke, remember what I said before?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi put his hands on Sangsuke's shoulders, like his parents, "I am your father's life-and-death friend, not an outsider."

"As long as it is what you say, I will try to believe it."

"Little Sangzhu, trust the people around you more." Zilai also looked at the two friends beside him with emotion, "There will be people who believe in you, not only good friends, but also your teachers and elders .”

"Although your approach is very rational, I still have doubts. How did you judge the authenticity of the information?" Orochimaru was not affected by the inexplicable emotions in the venue. He looked at Sangsuke indifferently and asked his own doubts.

"No judgment." Sangsuke looked at Dashewan with a sincere face, "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway."

"Master Hokage! Something is wrong!"

The office door was pushed open, and Sakurai, who was in charge of intelligence work, rushed in in a panic.

"Calm down, talk slowly, don't panic." Hiruzaru Sarutobi was a little surprised, he had never seen Sakurai who was in charge of intelligence be so flustered.

"The patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Well, committed suicide after leaving a suicide note!"

　It's a bit bland, let's go overboard, and then start to complete the side tasks that haven't been completed before~
