The head of the Shimura clan wiped the sweat from his forehead and hesitantly said:
"Sir, since early this morning, the Police Department has been acting like madmen, arresting our clan members everywhere with nonsensical reasons. Some are requested for questioning at the Police Department, others are suspected of crimes. The most serious cases involve Sauro and Hirong, who allegedly attacked members of the Police Department in public."
"The clan’s requests to visit the arrested members have all been denied by the Police Department."
"So you think the Uchiha are retaliating because they dare not target me directly, they target the Shimura clan instead, is that right?"
Danzo looked coldly at the Shimura head.
"Heh, the Uchiha are really regressing."
Without giving Yama any chance to speak further, Danzo sneered:
"You may leave. Go directly to the Hokage office and report this to Hiruzen. He will handle it."
This blatant retaliation, the Third Hokage will definitely not ignore.
At most, it will cause a disturbance among the Shimura clan, but in the end, it’s the Uchiha who will suffer.
Retaliation?
Do you really think the village’s tolerance for your Uchiha is still high?
Ignorant.
You are also foolish to come to me at such an important moment for such a trivial matter!
You can’t even handle this small matter properly; you’re simply useless!
While mocking the Uchiha in his heart, Danzo didn’t forget to scold the clan members.
"Clan leader, what did Lord Danzo say?"
Returning to the clan, Yama was met by Yu.
"He told us to handle it ourselves. Let’s go to the Hokage office first and report to the Hokage."
After making a special visit and seeking help, all they got was ridicule.
Yama felt uneasy; he always felt that Danzo prioritized personal interests over the clan.
It seemed as if the Shimura clan was expendable, and what Danzo possessed was most important.
Danzo’s selfishness was tolerable, but he also disregarded the clan while accepting their support.
Typical of someone who forgets the efforts of others as soon as he finishes his meal.
Thanks to the Third Hokage and the two elder advisors having a conscience, they supported the Shimura clan to some extent, both openly and secretly.
Otherwise, relying on someone like Danzo to support the clan, the Shimura clan would likely be wiped out without benefiting from Danzo’s support.
Waving his hand, Yama said:
"That’s it then. I’ll go to the Hokage office and make a trip. Inform everyone; there’s no need to panic. This matter will be resolved soon. The Uchiha cannot keep this up."
Despite Danzo’s bad attitude, at least he gave the Shimura clan some peace of mind.
Yama also believed that if the Third Hokage intervened, he could handle this matter well and warn the Uchiha not to cause trouble again.
However, what Shimura didn’t consider was that the Third Hokage was currently overwhelmed with other matters and had no spare time to deal with such trivial issues.
Even if he were willing, the Police Department might release those whose charges didn’t hold up.
As for those with confirmed charges, it wouldn’t be so easy to release them.
Leaving the clan behind, Shimura hurriedly came to the Hokage office.
The Third Hokage was sitting in his office, troubled. He had hoped to resolve the situation in Tanzaku Town with minimal effort and in the simplest way possible, but he was stuck here with Jiraiya.
He didn’t want to stay in Konoha for long; he wanted to take Naruto and leave, but the Third Hokage disagreed with him taking Naruto away.
Rarely stubborn, but once he was, there was nothing the Third Hokage could do.
"Hokage-sama, Shimura clan head requests an audience."
"What does he want?"
Needing to think things through, the Third Hokage specifically instructed the ANBU stationed outside to notify him if someone wanted to see him.
"Let him in."
Setting aside a pile of troublesome matters, the Third Hokage sat down and absentmindedly picked up his pipe.
"Hokage-sama."
Entering the Hokage’s office and closing the door, Shimura clan head respectfully bowed.
The Third Hokage, who was full of worry a second ago, suddenly smiled:
"No need to be so formal. I had the ANBU guard outside because village matters are quite busy, so there should be quiet times for rest and contemplation."
Shimura clan head flattered him a bit.
The smile on the Third Hokage’s face gradually became brighter.
"You, with that mouth of yours, if only Danzo were as worry-free as you."
"Heh, Hokage-sama, you jest."
Involving Danzo, Yama didn’t dare to speak nonsense, so he just chuckled.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the Third Hokage got serious:
"So, Clan leader, did you come to me with something to report?"
Finally getting to the point.
Yama immediately adopted an angry expression and began accusing the Uchiha and the Police Department:
"Hokage-sama, you must intervene for our Shimura clan. The Uchiha have gone too far. They have unjustly arrested members of our clan and locked them up in the Police Department without letting our family visit."
Are you kidding me?
The Third Hokage was dumbfounded.
He thought it was a major issue, but it turned out to be this?
The Police Department arresting members of the Shimura clan is worth the clan leader of a ninja clan coming to the Hokage office to complain about?
Which clan’s members haven’t been arrested?
"So, it’s just that members of the Shimura clan were arrested?"
The disappearing smile from his face showed that the Third Hokage was not happy.
He thought Yama urgently came to report something important, but it was just because clan members were arrested.
The Third Hokage was able to endure it, but if he had a hot-tempered personality, he might have already cursed.
"Hokage-sama, it’s not what you think."
Seeing the Third Hokage misunderstand, Yama hurriedly explained:
"Since this morning, the Police Department has been targeting the Shimura clan. Many clan members have been arrested or taken away for various strange reasons and demands, including a public attack on the Police Department captain. They arrested over a dozen people in a single day."
"It’s clearly targeting us!!!"
If clan members were arrested by the Police Department, there could be many reasons, but arresting over a dozen in a single day is suspicious.
There must be something fishy going on.
What’s Uchiha up to?
Yesterday they promised to change, but today they’re escalating things.
Wait!
Could it be because of yesterday?
The Third Hokage wasn’t stupid; he quickly connected yesterday’s events together.
From this perspective, it seems somewhat understandable, considering how sensitive Danzo’s identity is. The Uchiha couldn’t directly target Danzo.
Since they couldn’t target Danzo, they targeted the Shimura clan.
Since Danzo is part of this clan.
After understanding this, the Third Hokage began to reassure Shimura clan head:
"Go back and wait for news. I’ll have Fugaku Uchiha come here personally to explain. I believe there will be a resolution soon."
For ordinary matters, the Third Hokage couldn’t be bothered, especially now.
But the Uchiha’s actions have been somewhat excessive. If not stopped, today it might be the Shimura clan, tomorrow it could be other clan or even the Sarutobi.
