Pay to Win Uchiha in Konoha (Completed)

Chapter 41: P2W 41 - Shady (2)



In a seemingly ordinary office within the Police Department,

"Yoru-niisan, everyone in the village is saying that the Uchiha clan targets civilian shinobi, arresting them for even the smallest mistakes. But they turn a blind eye when it comes to the major clans. The Police Department has become corrupt."

Shisui expressed his frustration, while Uchiha Yoru, upon hearing these words, pretended to be troubled and worried, but remained firm.

"Shisui, you must understand that all of this is for the stability of Konoha."

Shisui's frustration became apparent, and he whispered, "Yoru-niisan, why are there so many secretive missions from Root? So many!"

After a while, Shisui still couldn't bring himself to say it, but Yoru let out a sigh. "Shisui, you need to understand that the village is going through difficult times, and special times call for special measures."

Most of these secretive missions involve life and death matters. As for justice or false accusations, they can only apologize. Root assigns the missions, and we don't know if they are right or wrong.

Where there is light, there is darkness. Even if the Third Hokage is fair, without darkness, there can't be light.

Do you think the formation of the Sarutobi clan in the later part of the anime was fictional? If power hadn't been gradually accumulated, there wouldn't have been the later Sarutobi corps.

"Shisui, the Sarutobi clan needs the Third Hokage's support right now, so there are things you need to understand and accept."

The village's size is limited, and for the Sarutobi clan to develop, it needs to encroach on others' interests.

With Uchiha Yoru present, the nature of certain missions naturally began to change, like the one they were currently handling involving Umino Itsuki.

Umino Itsuki, a chunin, was suspected of betraying the village during a mission and was captured by the Grass Country for half a month.

The two words "suspected betrayal" were enough, especially considering that the person in question was an ordinary chunin. Root's philosophy is better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go.

This was originally a mission for Root, but its nature had changed a bit under Yoru's control.

That's because Umino Itsuki owned three shops. After the attack of the Nine-Tails, almost the entire Uzumaki family died, leaving significant assets behind.

Umino Itsuki was suspected of being eliminated, so the assets needed to be reassigned. And since Yoru didn't want to clash with Root, he came up with this method.

"Shisui, after transferring these three shops to Sarutobi Tsuki, half of the shop's income will go to us, the Uchiha."

To secure personal gains, they needed to silence everyone reasonably. By sending the shops to the Sarutobi clan, the Uchiha clan could involve them in this dirty business. The robe of the Hokage, isn't that perfect?

I complete the missions for you under the guise of Root, and in return, I give the majority of the benefits to the Sarutobi clan. It's a disguised gesture of goodwill.

In the end, the Uchiha clan only received half of the shop's income, but it could be said that Root only had to give their approval, and the Sarutobi clan would benefit greatly.

On the other hand, the Uchiha clan did all the dirty and exhausting work and deserved their compensation.

In this three-party situation, only the Uchiha clan was doing the work. What else could be done?

"Sarutobi Tsuki, the team leader executing missions in the Grass Country."

A piece of information caught Shisui's eye. The team leader returned alive while the rest of the team either died or became captives, including Umino Itsuki.

Seeing this, Shisui couldn't help but feel deep suspicion. Was this suspected betrayal really Sarutobi Tsuki's attempt to erase this stain on his ninja career?

Seemingly aware of Shisui's doubts, Uchiha Yoru lowered his voice and said seriously, "Shisui, a shinobi is a weapon and shouldn't have emotions. That's what we were taught in the ninja academy. But at the same time, a shinobi needs emotions. We don't know what is right or wrong, and no one has told us."

"But what I do know is that we're doing all of this! Even if we, the Uchiha, don't do it, there will be other shinobi who will. So it's for the sake of the Uchiha, for the sake of Konoha."

For the sake of Konoha? Once a proud statement, but now, Shisui's unwavering belief in the face of darkness began to waver.

Is all of this truly for the sake of Konoha? Why is it that the Uchiha do the dirty work, Root is ruthless and heartless, and the seemingly oblivious Sarutobi clan reaps the ultimate benefits?

In the dimly lit prison cell, with a soundproof barrier, only the miserable cries from inside echoed.

"Haha, you Uchiha bastards, I knew it. I was just a bit drunk and disturbed the peace, and it ended up like this. So you and Sarutobi Tsuki are in cahoots."

At this moment, a Uchiha shinobi from the Police Department's eyes gleamed coldly. Under continuous torture, he said in a low voice, "Listen, as long as you personally write this letter of repentance and hand over these three shops to Captain Sarutobi Tsuki as compensation, I will give you a quick death."

"Pah." Umino Itsuki revealed a sinister smile and spat out blood.

However, just as they were about to continue the torture, the prison door opened, and the bright light made Umino Itsuki squint. The Uchiha shinobi beside him respectfully stood up.

"Shisui."

The person who entered was Uchiha Shisui. With a wave of his hand, the shinobi inside the cell understood and left. The prison door closed again.

Umino Itsuki looked up, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the Uchiha shinobi in front of him, and sneered, "So, this is Uchiha's prodigious shinobi, Shisui. How did even a prodigy like you fall? Becoming a lackey for Sarutobi Tsuki?"

But Shisui's face remained calm, without any hint of emotion. In an instant, his eyes revealed a blood-red Sharingan with three tomoe, causing the other's expression to dull.

Then, in the quiet prison cell, Shisui spoke a sentence, and Umino Itsuki replied. They began leaving their signatures and handprints on the letter of repentance.

The letter of repentance was straightforward: it stated that Umino Itsuki, after being captured in the Grass Country, succumbed to pressure and leaked the village's secrets, resulting in a failed mission. As the team leader, Sarutobi Tsuki naturally suffered.

With boundless remorse, Umino Itsuki was willing to compensate by giving his three shops to Captain Sarutobi Tsuki.

As Shisui looked at the letter of repentance in his hand, he chuckled self-deprecatingly. Then, after the prison door opened, he left the cell with a parting sentence.

"Let his loved ones have one last visit."
