Naruto: We Uchiha only want to make money.

Chapter 12 The Daimyo's Treasury, It Must Be Very Rich! Shingetsu's Ambition! A Deadly Pur

"To the capital?" Upon hearing Fugaku's words, Shingetsu picked up the mission briefing and began to read it carefully. Gradually, a hint of doubt appeared between his brows.

"The capital city's daimyo's treasury has been robbed three times!"

"They didn't even bother with people from the capital to investigate, but instead sent our Konoha police force. It seems the daimyo suspects there's a mole within his own ranks!" Shingetsu analyzed the key point after a quick glance at the mission briefing.

The capital of the Land of Fire.

It is the residence of the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

He was protected by ninja guards and a large number of samurai skilled in swordsmanship.

Now, his own vault has been robbed three times, yet he has escaped unscathed.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire naturally dared not trust his own men.

That's why the task was assigned to the Konoha Police Force.

"This child, Shen Yue, not only possesses extremely high talent in ninjutsu, but also has such remarkable intelligence gathering abilities. He was able to analyze such information from a single piece of paper, gaining a preliminary understanding of the movements in the capital of the Land of Fire!"

"The future of the Uchiha clan may truly be in his hands!" Fugaku nodded approvingly upon hearing Kamizuki's analysis.

"Indeed, although several years have passed since the Third Shinobi World War, the world is far from peaceful!"

"It's common for traitors to collude with external enemies to steal from their masters!"

As Fugaku was speaking, he suddenly noticed that Shingetsu's eyes were almost gleaming with golden light, and drool was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"Kamizuki, what's wrong? Are you alright?" Fugaku was startled by Kamiya's reaction.

"Wow, they managed to rob him clean three times. The daimyo of the Land of Fire is really rich. I wonder how much money is left in his treasury; it must be a lot!"

"What if we could bring his vault back!"

"We're going to make a fortune!" Shingetsu exclaimed, holding the mission briefing. He could almost see the enormous treasury of the Fire Country's daimyo.

"Stop! That's the daimyo's treasury in the Land of Fire. If someone sees it, the consequences will be dire!" Fugaku was startled by Shingetsu's words and quickly told Shingetsu to give up his audacious idea.

"I understand what the clan leader means. As long as no one sees it, everything will be fine!" Shen Yue seemed to interpret it differently.

"No, that's not what I meant. Whether you can see it or not, you can't rob a daimyo's treasury. It's illegal, especially since you're a police officer from the Land of Fire, Konoha!"

"Ugh, why did I tell you about this mission? Isn't this just asking for trouble?!" Fugaku was almost driven to despair by Shingetsu's words. He even regretted letting Shingetsu take on this mission.

Finally, after much persuasion from Fugaku, Kamizuki temporarily abandoned his plan to raid the daimyo's treasury in the Land of Fire for the fourth time.

Shen Yue put away the mission briefing and walked to the door.

Fugaku wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Finally, we've gotten rid of this troublemaker!"

However, just as Shingetsu reached the door, he stopped again and turned to look at Fugaku.

"Chieftain, there's something else I need to tell you!"

"What's wrong now?" Fugaku's heart, which had just been at ease, instantly jumped into his throat again.

"It's nothing serious. Last night, while I was on patrol, I caught a ninja harassing a woman in the street and he's also suspected of assaulting police officers!" Shingetsu calmly recounted.

"Shingetsu, you did the right thing. This kind of lawless madman must be dealt with severely!" Fugaku slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"With the clan leader's words, I'm relieved!" Shingetsu smiled with satisfaction, as if he had been waiting for Fugaku to say those words.

"I've already locked him up in the detention cell. After I leave, please have the clan chief interrogate him!"

"Oh right, I forgot to mention, the other party's identity is quite extraordinary!" As Shen Yue spoke, she flashed away and disappeared through the doorway.

"Very unusual?"

"Wait a minute!" Fugaku wanted to call out to Kamizuki to ask more questions, but Kamizuki was nowhere to be seen.

"No, I have to go and see who it is right away!" Fugaku couldn't sit still any longer, so he quickly pulled out a chair and headed towards the detention room.

……

Konoha Village entrance.

Shen Yue, Qing Shui, and Tie Shu were ready, and with their backpacks on, they left Konoha Village.

After leaving the village for some distance.

Shingetsu turned and looked back towards Konoha.

Standing here, all he can see is the high wall surrounding Konoha Village.

The figures of patrolling ninjas can be vaguely seen above.

"I wonder if Danzo's men have followed us or not. I hope I don't have to wait too long!" Shen Yue's eyes slanted upwards, revealing a hint of killing intent.

The three continued their journey to the capital of the Land of Fire.

And in the far distance, on the hidden treetops.

Two Root members wearing dark masks were also quietly following behind.

Mad Bull and Blue Dog stared intently at Shen Yue's retreating figure.

"Hmph, has it sensed danger?" Mad Bull sneered.

Blue Dog rubbed the hilt of his ninja sword, the calluses on his knuckles rubbing against it, making a soft rustling sound.

"Leaving Konoha means certain death!"

"However, Lord Danzo has ordered that we wait until he is on his way back to the village before making our move!"

"It's alright, it's just a matter of a few days earlier or later. No one ever survives being targeted by our Root organization!"

"Prepare the container. This pair of fresh Sharingan eyes was specifically requested by Lord Danzo!"

As they spoke, the two lightly touched the treetops with their toes and leaped swiftly, their movements creating a slight breeze that sent leaves fluttering down, disappearing without a trace.

……

"Root" Headquarters!

Danzo leaned on his cane, his expression dignified and cold, like a statue.

in front of him.

Uchiha Shisui stood quietly.

"I wonder what task Lord Danzo has summoned me for?" Shisui's temperament was as calm and undisturbed as his name, his heart as still as water.

"Shisui, you are a member of the Uchiha clan, but you are also a ninja of Konoha!" Danzo said coldly.

Zhi Shui nodded.

"good!"

"Then let me ask you, if Konoha and the Uchiha clan were to clash, which side would you be on?" Danzo's tone turned cold and heavy as he spoke.

Upon hearing Danzo's words, Shisui's eyes showed a moment of struggle and hesitation.

He had tossed and turned over this question countless times in recent days and nights.

He is Uchiha Shisui.

The water stopped instantly.

He is also a Konoha ninja.

What happens when family interests clash with those of the village?

What should he do?

Seeing Shisui's reaction, Danzo's eyes flashed with a sharp light. In an instant, he flicked his fingers slightly, like a ferocious beast preparing to strike.

However, in the end, he managed to suppress his murderous intent.

The time is not yet ripe.

"Since you can't figure it out, then don't think about it for now. Right now, both I and Hiruzen want to know the information about your gathering at the Naga Shrine!" Danzo finally revealed his true purpose.

The previous conversation only served to shake Zhishui's resolve.

"Um?!"

"Could he know something?" Shisui's heart instantly became alert.
