Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide!

Chapter 191: Changes in Konoha (I wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival!)
"You are truly the first in Kirigakure Village to do business on the head of my Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Homura looked at the Kirigakure envoy in front of him, while flipping through the letter written by Kiden Shingetsu in his hand, but his face could not clearly see the joy and anger.

Today's Uchiha Homura is much older than he was six years ago. He no longer looks like the Uchiha clan leader who stood on the Hokage Rock and questioned Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, it can still be seen from the flash of light in his eyes that it is only his appearance that is old, and his heart is as strong as ever.

But he didn't understand why Gui Deng Xinyue still dared to send someone to do business with him. Wasn't he afraid that he would kill the messenger directly in anger?

In other words, he thought that the Uchiha clan had forgotten what happened in Kirigakure Village, the "Uchiha Human Rights Report" and "Thirty Years of Slavery"?
"The patriarch is joking. As long as there is profit in this business, who can we do it with? You won't throw away the benefits just for the sake of your own mood, right?"

The Kirigakure messenger saw that Uchiha Homura's reaction was just as expected by Kiden Shinetsu. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately began to persuade him according to Kiden Shinetsu's words.

"...What's more, this is also a retreat for the Uchiha clan, isn't it? After all, the attitude of the senior officials of your village towards you is not a secret, is it?"

"Um?!"

Uchiha Homura opened his eyes upon hearing this, his scarlet Sharingan stared at the Kirigakure envoy, and a majestic aura instantly filled the entire reception room.

"Leave yourself a way out? When did it, Uchiha, turn for you, Kirigakure Village, to teach us how to behave?"

The muscles behind the Kirigakure user's back were tense, thinking that Uchiha Homura had changed his mind and wanted to keep him, but what he didn't expect was...

"...Hmph, for the sake of Ghost Light Crescent Moon, let's forget it this time. Next time you meet our Uchiha clan, pay attention to your attitude!"

"Clan leader, are you really relieved to put your assets in a bank of a hostile ninja village?"

"and many more!"

Fortunately, it didn't take long for this momentum to be taken back by Uchiha Homura.

"I'm just punishing you because of your attitude. Does this have anything to do with normal business dealings? Why, it's not allowed?"

"When we go back, tell Gui Deng Xinyue that we will deposit a quarter of the clan's assets into Kirigakure Bank."

The Kirigakure envoy who came this time was a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who had worked under Ghost Light Crescent. In addition to being articulate and clear in thinking, he was able to become a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He also had another characteristic - poor strength.

In this situation, no matter how smart his words were, it was useless. The Kirigakure messenger, who was sweating from behind, immediately said goodbye and wanted to leave.

Otherwise, he would not have worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the edge. Therefore, facing the pressure of the current Uchiha clan leader, he could not even say a word for a while.

Perhaps noticing the surprised gaze of the Kirigakure messenger, Uchiha Homura's scarlet eyes opened again.

Facing this group of pink-eyed people, the Kirigakure ninja smiled awkwardly, tried his best to hide his inner desire to complain, and left here.

A dull atmosphere pressed directly on the Kirigakure messenger's chest, making him unable to breathe at all.

The young genius of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Yashiro, stepped forward to ask.

As a hostile Ninja Village, even though Kiden Crescent Moon guarantees the safety and privacy of money and accounts with its own reputation, once a war breaks out, the credibility of Kiden Crescent Moon is really a matter of opinion.

Facing Uchiha Yashiro's inquiry, Uchiha Homura did not answer directly, but asked him an irrelevant question. "Yashiro, have you noticed that the number of casualties in the village has suddenly increased recently?"

"Are you talking about the recent incidents in the village where the deaths were tragic and the murder scenes looked like cult sacrifices?"

As the clan that controls Konoha's security forces, the Uchiha clan naturally knows a lot about these recent cases.

In the past month, many vicious murders have suddenly occurred across Konoha, and the death conditions of the deceased and the murder scenes are strikingly similar.

However, since most of the deceased were civilians, and the most distinguished ones were only wealthy businessmen, the village did not pay much attention to them and temporarily ordered the security forces to investigate.

"However, judging from the scene, isn't this what some villagers who were bewitched by a cult did? Is there anything worth noting?"

Uchiha Yashiro didn't understand why Uchiha Homura mentioned this matter at this time. Does this have anything to do with Kirigakure Bank?

Uchiha Homura sneered at what Uchiha Yashiro said, "Ha! Can't find the murderer in a simple murder case for three days? Are you saying that the Konoha security forces of our Uchiha clan are just a bunch of losers!"

Under Uchiha Homura's suggestion, Uchiha Yashiro also thought of the strangeness of this matter.

As a powerful ninja clan who mastered the Sharingan, if it were a simple murder of a cult villager and they couldn't find the murderer for more than a day, they would not be able to live up to the reputation of the Sharingan.

So in this case, the fact that the murderer could not be found within three days just proves that this matter is strange.

"Could it be the work of a cult ninja? But how did he sneak into the village?"

Uchiha Yashiro quickly thought of another answer.

"I hope so... If civilians really committed the crime, it would be troublesome."

If it were a ninja, as long as he was careful and used some secret ninjutsu, it would not be impossible to hide himself from the tracking of the Sharingan.

But if they are civilians... that means that there is a big force in the ninja village hiding them, otherwise it would be impossible for the Uchiha ninjas to waste three days of effort.

Thinking back to the previous aggressive questioning in the village about whether there were any members of the tribe who were living outside, and some news about the kaleidoscope, as well as the series of murders that occurred at this critical node, this had to make Uchiha Homura think more.

Depositing some of the clan's belongings in Kirigakure Bank is really just a last resort insurance measure.

"Clan leader, something happened!"

Outside the house, a voice suddenly came.

"A member of the Hinata clan died in a remote alley, and the way he died was the same as in the previous cult incident!"

"The Hinata family is divided... It looks like a ninja ninja, but in fact he is not a serious ninja ninja... The identity of the deceased is rising little by little. Is he testing something? Or is he planning?"

"No matter who is behind this series of cases, it's best not to think about attacking our Uchiha clan, otherwise..."

Uchiha Homura slowly closed his scarlet Sharingan, covering up the fleeting octagonal pattern.
