Revival of Uchiha, Starting with a Harem

The flames burned fiercely on the battlefield, leaving no trace behind. 

The surrounding buildings were directly reduced to ashes under such violent flames. 

Natsuo slowly withdrew his hand, a hint of amusement in his eyes, and whispered, "Danzo, did you really think I was so weak?" 

After several system rewards, Natsuo had gained the strength to rival an Elite Jōnin. 

How could he not discover a few Root ninjas? To kill him? Impossible! 

As for why he only took action now... 

Whoosh. 

Kakuzu stood up with a dissatisfied expression. 

"You called me out just to see a corpse?" 

He had thought he could make some extra money. 

"No, thank you for protecting me, Mr. Kakuzu. Thanks to you, I was saved. Otherwise, I would have almost died at the hands of these assassins," Natsuo shook his head lightly and smiled. "You truly exceeded my expectations, sir." 

Kakuzu frowned. He understood what Natsuo meant. This guy wanted to continue hiding and use him as a shield, but... 

"Hey, I only protect your child. This is not within the agreed scope." 

"To express my gratitude for saving my life, I have decided to give Mr. Kakuzu one million Ryō as a reward for your efforts." 

Kakuzu fell silent for three seconds. 

"If I don't have to compensate for the buildings affected around here, then I can accept it." 

"Thank you very much, Mr. Kakuzu." 

Natsuo smiled gently and slowly walked back to his residence. 

The women in the house heard the news and rushed over. 

Another reward had been received! Kakuzu felt sweeter than if he had eaten honey. 

But when he looked at the scene where almost the entire street had been destroyed by the flames, he couldn't help but take a deep look at Natsuo's back of him. 

No wonder this guy didn't let him protect him. Because he didn't need anyone's protection at all! 

Everyone had underestimated the head of the Uchiha clan. 

... 

News spread quickly that a ninja had attempted to assassinate Uchiha Natsuo in broad daylight, and the enemy was ultimately killed by the bodyguard hired by the Uchiha clan. 

Upon hearing this news, Danzo furrowed his brows. "He wasn't able to kill him. This shouldn't be possible." 

But after reading the detailed report about the incident, I understood. 

"So many formidable ninjas have emerged... Uchiha Natsuo, you're really lucky!" 

Natsuo was just a Chūnin. How could he survive in the midst of so many ninja assassinations? 

The reason, of course, was the interference of Might Guy and others! 

And then there was Kakuzu, who made his move at the end. If he had been a little later, he would have taken Natsuo's eyes, right? 

"Kakuzu, the renowned bounty hunter in the black market, I never expected his strength to surpass his reputation". 

... 

Compared to the calm Danzo. The Third Hokage sprayed his tea all over. 

"Damn it, Danzo, what the hell are you thinking?" 

This matter is not difficult to investigate, and with Danzo's hasty actions, there are too many loopholes. 

Everyone is well aware of the fighting style of the Root ninjas. And before he could blame Danzo, the major clans came angrily to his door. 

The Third Hokage roared angrily in his heart, but he had to start dealing with the aftermath. 

"This is Cloud Shinobi Village's attempt to steal on our Konoha's Bloodline Limit!" The Third Hokage's words were like gold and jade, directly defining the incident. 

Then, in the astonished gazes of the major clan leaders, he sent a diplomatic notice to Cloud Shinobi Village, demanding compensation. 

This was probably the most powerful speech by the Third Hokage during his term, right? 

Of course, Cloud Shinobi Village would probably treat this notice as a joke. 

The leaders of the major clans would never believe such words, but Danzo's actions left no concrete evidence. Additionally, the Root ninjas died, erasing anything that could link the incident to Danzo. 

Even the patrol ninjas who provided opportunities for assassination were thoroughly investigated. 

Without evidence, and with the protection of the Hokage, Danzo once again easily escaped. 

The ninjas of the major clans could only leave with suppressed anger. 

Danzo is a suitable tool. During the Third Hokage's term, the power of the major clans was weakened to some extent. Without clear evidence, they were powerless to resist the Hokage. 

But the villagers of Konoha were furious. Konoha has been established for 59 years, and there has never been an enemy who could infiltrate the village! 

Even the Nine Tails incident eight years ago was essentially an internal problem of Konoha. 

Now, someone openly assassinated our ninjas in broad daylight, in the middle of the bustling market. Is Konoha still the number one village in the ninja world? 

The ninjas responsible for patrolling should just commit Seppuku! 

Who can guarantee our safety? The people were furious. 

At this time, Natsuo went door to door with his wives, apologizing to the victims who had lost their homes in this battle. 

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me. If it weren't for the assassination targeting me, you wouldn't have had to go through this." Uchiha Natsuo looked apologetic. 

"No, no, no, this is all a conspiracy by enemy ninja villages." The victims expressed one after another, "Lord Natsuo, you are innocent." 

Not to mention the cash compensation that far exceeded the value of the properties, Natsuo must be innocent! 

Natsuo apologized a few more times, and then joined the victims in cursing the influence of the external villages, feeling a sense of unity against a common enemy. 

"Damn it! Our Konoha's patrol forces have become lazy!" Natsuo cursed, "When we Uchiha were in charge of the security team, Konoha never experienced such blatant assassinations!" 

Hearing this, the victims also sighed, "Yes! It was when you Uchiha were in charge of the security team that Konoha was the safest!" 

"Compared to the current bunch of useless people, you Uchiha are reliable!"
