Naruto: We Uchiha only want to make money.

Chapter 3: The Third Hokage's Uncontrollable Motives, Danzo's Hostility!

The Third Hokage's office.

After listening to Fugaku's report, Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a few smoke rings, tapped his cigarette ash, and turned his gaze to Shingetsu.

"So, you've already killed Shimura Menma?"

"Reporting back to the Third Hokage, Shimura Menma attempted to resist arrest, violating Article 31 of the Konoha Public Security Regulations and Article 9 of the Konoha Police Rules. I was unable to apprehend him and had no choice but to execute him!" Shingetsu replied solemnly.

"This child dares to lie in front of the Third Hokage?" Uchiha Fugaku, standing nearby, was somewhat impressed by Kamizuki's ability to lie through his teeth after hearing his serious reply.

Upon hearing Shingetsu's clumsy answer, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded noncommittally and continued to ask.

"Did he abscond with over 100 million taels of silver this time?"

"What money? I didn't see any!"

"When we were fighting, this guy dared to insult the Will of Fire. I got angry and didn't stop, turning him to ashes!"

"Qingshui and Tieshu can attest to this!"

"Oh, and please settle the one million taels for this mission!"

Fugaku Uchiha: "..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."

Uchiha Kamizuki: "(¬◡¬)✧"

"By the way, Hokage-sama, I also obtained some important information during my pursuit of Shimura Menma!"

"So, it turns out that Danzo secretly orchestrated Shimura Menma's money laundering!"

"Please give the order, Hokage, so that I can lead the Konoha Police Force to raid Danzo's house. His house must be very rich!" Kamizuki didn't miss any opportunity to smear Danzo.

After all, Danzo played a significant role in the annihilation of the Uchiha clan.

He later even gained an arm full of Sharingan eyes.

Even if Shingetsu fails in the future, he has no doubt that his Sharingan will become Danzo's toy.

"So you're still eyeing Danzo's money?" Upon hearing this, Fugaku immediately widened his eyes and looked at Shingetsu.

When the Third Hokage heard Kamizuki's suggestion, his face twitched, and he almost couldn't hold back his composure.

"Kamizuki, do you have any evidence?" The Third Hokage tried to calm his tone.

"I heard it from Shimura Menma myself!" Kamui pointed to himself.

"Does this child think I'm that easy to fool?" The Third Hokage took a deep breath, tapped his pipe, and barely resisted the urge to knock Kamizuki's head off.

"Fugaku, Kamizuki, you should leave now. I'll have someone settle your bill later!" The Third Hokage began to dismiss them, fearing that talking to Kamizuki any longer would cause him to have high blood pressure.

"Lord Hokage, are you really not going to consider this? Danzo's family must have a lot of money." Kamizuki was still somewhat unwilling.

"You'd better leave quickly!" Even Fugaku couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly pulled Shingetsu away.

After watching Uchiha Fugaku leave, Uchiha Shingetsu departed.

The Third Hokage suddenly burst out laughing.

"This child, the Uchiha clan is known for its intense love and hate, why has he suddenly become so obsessed with money?"

"But being greedy for money isn't necessarily a bad thing, at least it's not that extreme!" The Third Hokage shook his head helplessly.

……

Outside the door, Fugaku Uchiha led Shingetsu and the other person out.

A chilling figure appeared around the corner.

His skin was dry, his aura was cold, and half of his body was wrapped in white bandages, making him look extremely cold and terrifying.

"Danzo!" Fugaku couldn't help but feel a sense of unease upon seeing the newcomer.

Even though this was outside the Third Hokage's office, he dared not be careless in the face of this Dark Ninja.

However, Shingetsu's reaction was completely different.

"Sashibuli, Lord Danzo, it's been a long time. Have you had breakfast yet?" Shingetsu greeted Danzo with a smile.

"Uchiha Shingetsu!" Danzo glanced coldly at Shingetsu.

For some reason, he always felt that he couldn't see through this young man from the Uchiha clan.

It was a kind of mockery, coldness, and even a faint hint of murderous intent.

He had never felt this way with Shisui or Itachi.

"It seems this brat from the Uchiha clan is also a dangerous element in the village. It looks like it's time to find an opportunity to turn his Sharingan into my collection!" A cold glint flashed in Danzo's eyes.

He didn't say anything and went straight into the Third Hokage's office.

"Shimura Danzo is hostile towards me!" Shingetsu also sensed Danzo's hostility towards him, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

"Kamizuki, let's go!" Fugaku said, seeing Kamiya's reaction, and urged him to leave.

Shingetsu left without saying a word, following Fugaku away.

Danzo pushed open the door to the Third Hokage's office and went inside.

"Hiruzen, what do you want with me?" Danzo asked directly.

The Third Hokage exhaled a few smoke rings and spoke quietly.

"Shimura's face is so numb!"

Upon hearing this news, Shimura Danzo's eyes turned slightly cold, and he said in a cold voice.

"The traitor who absconded with the funds deserves to die!"

"But has he recovered the money he took?"

The Third Hokage shook his head: "Both people and money were reduced to ashes by Shingetsu!"

"He was reduced to ashes. I bet that kid pocketed it all. Anyway, now that Menma's been reduced to ashes, he can say whatever he wants, right?"

"That kid is said to have been extremely greedy since he was a child. When he was in the Ninja Academy, he started making money by taking exams for others. He even sold the Heaven and Earth Scroll in the Forest of Death during the Chunin Exams, almost making Konoha a laughing stock!" Shimura Danzo's eyes grew colder and colder.

Upon hearing Danzo list the glorious deeds of the Shingetsu, the Third Hokage, who was about to defend himself, could only shake his head helplessly.

"Hiruzen, I want to transfer that Uchiha brat named Kamui to Root!" Danzo suggested again.

"Shisui and Itachi of the Uchiha clan have already been transferred to the Anbu. Fugaku will not agree to let Shingetsu also join Root!" The Third Hokage shook his head.

"Hmph, the Uchiha clan always puts their own clan's interests above those of the village!" Danzo sneered.

As the leader of the village's martial arts faction and also coveting the power of the Sharingan, he naturally had no goodwill towards the Uchiha clan.

"Fine, the Uchiha clan is, after all, a member of the village. It's already going too far for us to be monitoring them!" The Third Hokage defended the Uchiha clan.

"Hiruzen, you're too weak. Have you forgotten what the Second Hokage taught us: the Uchiha clan is an evil clan?"

"The Madara Uchiha incident back then, the Nine-Tails' rampage a few years ago, and the death of the Fourth Hokage are all inextricably linked to the Uchiha clan!" Danzo said with great dissatisfaction.

"The Uchiha clan is different now than before. Fugaku and the others still have their hearts set on Konoha. The Nine-Tails' attack back then cannot prove that the Uchiha clan was behind it!" The Third Hokage spoke up to defend the Uchiha.

"Hmph, Hiruzen, you're too naive. The power of the Uchiha clan comes from hatred, and they will never change!" As Danzo spoke, the white bandages wrapped around his arm fluttered as if they were about to tear.

"The Uchiha are also members of the village. Shisui and Itachi are elites with the Will of Fire in their hearts. Moreover, Kamizuki's parents died for the village!" the Third Hokage retorted.

"Hmph, Hiruzen, you're too naive to protect Konoha!" Danzo said, slamming his cane into the ground with a dull thud before turning and leaving without another word.

Watching Danzo's departing figure, the Third Hokage took a puff of his pipe, then shook his head and sighed.

"The cracks in the village are widening!"

"If only the Fourth Hokage were still alive!" He turned his gaze, his old eyes looking at the framed photo of the Fourth Hokage hanging on the wall, his eyes filled with a touch of melancholy.

But outside.

Two black figures appeared behind Danzo.

"Go, investigate Uchiha Shingetsu for me. I need to know all his information!" Danzo ordered.

"Yes!" Upon receiving the order, the two dark figures instantly vanished back into the darkness.

"Uchiha Shingetsu, I sensed a power within him that is completely different from other Uchiha!"

"This guy is extremely dangerous; we must eliminate him!" Danzo secretly made up his mind.
