Konoha: Uchiha's Gorgeous Rebellion

"Itachi, I need you to monitor Uchiha Yuan."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

Uchiha Itachi was slightly startled, and then he responded, "Yes, sir."

"Are you wondering why I want you to monitor Uchiha Yuan?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

"Yes, Lord Sandaime; could it be that the Anbu discovered some unusual movements of Uchiha Yuan?"

Uchiha Itachi said with a serious face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped with his fingers on the booklet spread out in front of him. On it was all the relevant records about Uchiha Yuan's meeting with Naruto. Even the patrol routes of Uchiha Yuan and his party in recent days were recorded in detail.

Now the matter of Uchiha Yuan killing three Anbu ninjas has ended; however, the situation of Uchiha's contact with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has just begun.

No one knows whether the Uchiha clan has realized Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. If they have, what actions will they take?

These are all things Sarutobi Hiruzen needs to consider.

The one who came into contact with Naruto was Uchiha Fubuki. If the Uchiha intended to come into contact with Naruto, the only possible candidate was Uchiha Fubuki.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen needs Uchiha Itachi to monitor Uchiha Yuan's movements for a period of time in the future.

Thinking about the time when he went to see Naruto this morning, he saw Naruto struggling to clean Uchiha Yuan's paint-stained vest, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but frown.

Naruto is going to return the vest, and naturally he will come into contact with Uchiha Yuan again.

This was something he didn't want to see, but he had no reason to stop Naruto.

He had suggested that he should return the vest, but Naruto rejected it without hesitation.

"Itachi, the will of fire you possess is invaluable. I feel that you are worthy of the village's trust, so I have decided to tell you the village's top secret news."

Sarutobi Hiruzen decided not to hide Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki anymore, and at the same time used rhetoric to win over Uchiha Itachi.

"Sandaime-sama!"

Uchiha Itachi was indeed deeply moved by this, and became even more convinced of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Itachi, you must be wondering why the Anbu suddenly attacked Uchiha Yuan."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a few puffs of his cigarette and continued, "Those Anbu are responsible for protecting Naruto in secret."

"Naruto? Uzumaki Naruto, the demon fox!"

Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Yes, I don't know when Naruto's name as a demon fox appeared. Although Naruto is very naughty, he is a kind child."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled with a caring expression on his face and said, "Naruto is the village's most important asset. He is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"The Nine-Tails... Jinchūriki!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi could no longer remain calm and spoke out in surprise.

At this moment, the night a few years ago emerged in his mind, the terrifying nine-tailed beast with the power to destroy the world.

It was also after that night that the Uchiha clan's situation in Konoha underwent a drastic change.

Thinking of the Nine-Tails and then of the Uchiha, Uchiha Itachi suddenly understood why the Third Hokage wanted him to monitor Uchiha Yuan.

Uchiha and Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, when the two are linked together, it is indeed an extremely sensitive issue.

"Itachi, can you keep Naruto's identity a secret?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked directly at Uchiha Itachi and asked.

"Sir, I will never let anyone else know the identity of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Uchiha Itachi quickly lowered his head and said with a firm look on his face.

At the same time, he was very touched that Sarutobi Hiruzen told him such an important secret, and his trust in Sarutobi Hiruzen increased even more.

"Itachi, I believe in you. The future of the village needs your strength to protect it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled.

A few days later, at the gate of Konoha Village.

Shenyue Chuyun and Gang Zitie stood by the side of the road, looking dejectedly at the security team members who were questioning the people entering and leaving the gate.

Now, the Konoha Gate is jointly managed by the Guard and them.

However, the security team suddenly changed its usual behavior and became more powerful, and most of the checks at the village gate were carried out by the security team.

They, representing the village, were pushed aside by the guards and could only watch.

Shenyue Izumo and Gang Zitie's eyes fell on a figure standing above the gate. They knew very well that the security team became stronger because of his return.

Just then, a group of Uchiha arrived at the gate, preparing to leave the village.

Gang Zitie and Shen Yue Chu Yun recognized this team of Uchiha. They were ordinary members of the Uchiha clan.

The leader is a young man named Uchiha Oishi, who is a businessman. Every time he leaves the village, he brings back a large number of deep-sea fish. These nutritious deep-sea fish are very popular among the ninjas in the village.

I saw that the guard team members just glanced at Uchiha Oishi and others and let them go.

Seeing this, Kamijutsuki Izumo and Gang Zitetsu frowned, then decided to record the matter and report it to the Hokage's office.

Above the gate of Konoha, Uchiha Yuan and Uchiha Daishi looked at each other, then nodded slightly and watched them leave.

Suddenly, Uchiha Yuan frowned slightly and turned his head to look in one direction.

He was keenly aware of a sense of being watched, and this sense of being watched was extremely hidden and had been following him all this time.

[Hmph, I'm being monitored, but why? ]

Uchiha Yuan was a little confused.

He looked in the direction from which the sense of voyeurism came, but found nothing unusual.

[The guy who's monitoring this time is quite powerful. Who could he be to hide himself so well? ]

Withdrawing his gaze, Uchiha Yuan flashed and moved from above the gate to the road leading to the village.

Immediately afterwards, several figures appeared behind Uchiha Yuan and followed him into the village.

Following the route of his previous patrols, Uchiha Yuan inspected the Konoha Village.

"Lord Yuan."

When Uchiha Yuan was patrolling through the Konoha shopping street, a voice calling out was heard.

Uchiha Yuan looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Akimichi Kai waving at him with a smile on the second floor of the Akimichi family barbecue restaurant. Beside him were several companions from the Yamanaka clan and the Nara clan.

These people looked at Uchiha Yuan with complicated eyes.

"Hai, long time no see."

Uchiha Yuan smiled and said.

"Master Yuan, a few days ago, Kino told me that he wanted to find time to visit you."

Qiu Daokai jumped down from the second floor and came in front of Uchiha Yuan and said.

After greeting Akimichi Kai, Uchiha Yuan said to Akimichi Kai: "Hai, thank you."

Qiu Daohai asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Master Yuan, why do you say thank you to me?"

Uchiha Yuan glanced around and said with a smile: "When everyone is avoiding me and the Uchiha, you are still willing to meet me."

Qiu Daohai glanced at both sides of the street and could clearly see many people looking at Uchiha Yuan and his group with disgust and dissatisfaction.

He said, "Master Yuan, these guys are just a bunch of fools. Only I, who fought alongside you on the battlefield, know how reliable a companion you are."
