Chapter 40: Chapter 40:- Encountering Naruto
Although this technique is extremely dangerous, possessing this technique is undoubtedly considered a huge combat strength.
Even though there is a time limit, within that period there is undoubtedly an overwhelming advantage.
After agreeing, Idaka left the office. He went straight to Ryosuke's house.
———
At this moment, Ryosuke had already left Kurenai's house.
Because Kurenai's mother was about to return.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel like laughing in his heart, feeling as if he was having a secret affair, a little thrilling.
Returning home, he originally planned to rest for a while, then train properly to improve his physical attributes. Unexpectedly, Idaka came to his house.
"What are you doing at my house?"
Idaka said with respect on his face.
"Elder Hachiyo has requested that you go to the Police Force headquarters."
Ryosuke thought about this name in his mind. This guy seemed to be the leader of the Uchiha clan's radical faction.
And his grandfather as well as Uchiha Fugaku should both be considered neutral.
He also wanted to see what the other party wanted from him, so he followed Idaka toward the Police Force building.
On the way, Ryosuke was drawn to a blonde boy wearing an orange tracksuit.
'Isn't this the Child of Prophecy, Uzumaki Naruto?'
Seeing such a person, he couldn't help but stop.
Idaka also stopped, looking in Ryosuke's direction, his face turning helpless.
This child was the reincarnation of the Nine-Tails fox, which was actually the so-called Jinchuriki.
This matter had already spread throughout the village, except for perhaps young children who might not know.
At this time, Naruto entered a shop to buy some snacks.
However, as soon as the shopkeeper saw this child, his face suddenly changed drastically.
'Isn't this guy the reincarnation of the Nine-Tails fox?'
He had relatives who died during the night of the Nine-Tails' rampage. And his shop had also suffered severe damage.
Even if it was for money, he could never earn money from this kind of person.
He hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, pushed Naruto out with both hands, and forced him outside the door.
How could Naruto, a young child, resist the strength of an adult?
He was immediately pushed out of the shop.
His face was full of confusion as he asked.
"Why, boss? I just want to buy something. I have money."
The shopkeeper refused with a look of disgust.
"Even if you have money, I won't do business with you. Leave now, don't bring bad luck to my shop."
Naruto looked a little upset, but there was nothing he could do; the shopkeeper refused to sell to him.
Holding his money, he walked toward the second shop, only to be driven out again, and this time even cursed by the shop owner.
"Damn Nine-Tailed fox, get out of my house."
Ryosuke, seeing this situation, was speechless.
Naruto's childhood really was miserable. To think that he was the son of a hero, yet treated like this—Ryosuke couldn't help but feel a bit cold inside.
'What exactly were the leaders of Konoha doing?'
He simply couldn't understand it.
At this time, Naruto gradually disappeared down the street. After all, all the shopkeepers refused to do business with him, and some even forbade him from entering.
Ryosuke became speechless again.
'It seemed these people had already learned the news that Naruto contained the Nine-Tails fox.'
Who could have spread this information?
Even though there were Anbu guards protecting the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, they still allowed the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to endure this torment. Were they really not afraid he would snap?
Seeing Ryosuke's expression, Idaka asked.
"Do you feel a bit sympathetic for this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
Ryosuke nodded. Of course he felt sympathetic. The son of a hero, yet subjected to such humiliation—what exactly were the Konoha leaders doing?
Idaka sighed lightly.
"He's a pitiful child. After all, it wasn't his choice to have the Nine-Tails sealed within him. In my eyes, he's actually the hero of the village."
"If the Uchiha clan had been able to fight during the Nine-Tails incident back then, we definitely could have repelled the tailed beast. Even the Fourth Hokage wouldn't have had to sacrifice himself."
"This kind of child might not even have had to become the Jinchuriki."
"Let's go, Elder Hachiyo is still waiting for us."
Faced with this situation, he was also powerless to help.
Before leaving, Ryosuke glanced at the villagers.
These villagers likely knew that the Nine-Tails fox was sealed inside Naruto. But they still treated Naruto as the Nine-Tails fox to vent their anger.
No matter how he thought about it, none of this could be blamed on Naruto.
The villagers of Konoha were quite ignorant.
Not long after, Idaka brought Ryosuke to Hachiyo's office.
Hachiyo motioned for Idaka to leave first. He wanted to have a one-on-one conversation with Ryosuke.
After Idaka left, Uchiha Hachiyo observed the person in front of him—strong physique, accomplished in taijutsu.
He had changed quite a bit from his previous image.
Ryosuke looked at this man with short brown hair, a stern face, and small eyes—Uchiha Hachiyo.
"Elder, what did you call me here for?"
Before inviting him to join the radical faction, Hachiyo first wanted to ask him about his understanding of the relationship between the clan and Konoha's leadership.
"What do you think of the current relationship between the clan and Konoha's leadership?"
Ryosuke replied according to his understanding.
"The current relationship between Konoha's leadership and our Uchiha clan is extremely hostile. But this isn't the fault of our Uchiha clan—it's the fault of Konoha's leadership."
"Even our clan grounds were forcibly relocated to the outskirts of the village. This is truly a disgrace to the clan."
"This move is not only humiliating us but is also completely excluding the Uchiha clan from the center of power. Over time, we'll become a marginalized clan."
Hachiyo felt extremely satisfied hearing this. It seemed the person in front of him was not only a taijutsu expert but also very intelligent.
It looked like he was one of the radical faction.
Under the current circumstances, Konoha could no longer tolerate the Uchiha clan. This was precisely due to the exclusion by Konoha's leadership.
If not for the oppression from Konoha's leadership, they wouldn't have been forced to consider launching a coup.
Hachiyo smiled and said.
"Ryosuke, you can see the situation much more clearly than most Uchiha clansmen."
"Konoha's leadership intends to completely push our Uchiha clan out of the center of power. But Konoha was founded by both our Uchiha clan and the Senju clan. We must launch a coup, reclaim the honor that belongs to our clan. Are you willing to join our radical faction?"
Ryosuke didn't answer his question but instead asked.
"Of course, I want to revive the Uchiha clan. But what exactly do you plan to do?"
Hachiyo was very pleased with his attitude. As expected, he was on their side.
To revive the clan, of course, one must consider the clan's interests, unlike Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui in the clan who joined the Hokage's Anbu instead.
"The members of our radical faction plan to unite together, pressure the clan leader, and launch a coup to force the Third Hokage to step down. Then one of our Uchiha clan members will take the position of Hokage. What do you think?"
Ryosuke, hearing this answer, was still somewhat dissatisfied.
"Is that all? Do you think forcing him to step down is that simple?"
You must understand that this is political struggle—life-and-death struggle. The other party already harbors thoughts of wiping out the Uchiha clan, and even Uchiha civilians wouldn't be spared. The methods they would use are extremely vicious and ruthless.
Yet these radical faction members seemed to have lived in peace for too long, completely forgetting the ruthlessness of the Uchiha clan during the Warring States period.
With this level of resolve, they wouldn't be able to revive the Uchiha clan.
Hachiyo, hearing his words, was also a bit confused.
