Chapter 24: Sasuke: Xia Yan is carrying the burden for me! (New book seeking collection!) The second day. A piece of news spread throughout Konoha. The Shimura clan was attacked by unknown enemies with explosive tags, resulting in the death and injury of two Jōnin and five Chūnin. Elder Danzo was also injured... I, an elder of Konoha Village, actually suffered an attack from enemies within the village? Damn the security team, you are far worse than the Uchiha! Now the Third Hokage is truly angry. Previously, one could only say that the security team intentionally neglected their duties under Danzo's orders. But now it is clear that these guys are truly useless! Without hesitation, the Third Hokage directly ordered the Konoha Anbu to take over. However, even the Anbu couldn't find any information.
It's just too simple to throw a box. Just catch a dead forest eagle, control it with genjutsu, and have it fly to Danzo's side to drop the box. If the timing of the explosion is controlled well, there is no need for any ninja to show up, making it impossible to trace. "Go and investigate the direction of the explosive tags!" the Third Hokage angrily said. "With so many explosive tags used in this bombing, I refuse to believe that we can't find out who did it!" The entire intelligence department of Konoha went into action. But... Still no results. "It would be strange if they could find out!" Xia Yan thought to himself. "Because what I used was not explosive tags." "But gunpowder!" In the world of Hokage, the development is quite strange. Although there are electric lights and movies, there will be various magical Chakra weapons in the future. But there is no gunpowder. Even when opening mines, they use precious explosive tags. As a typical example of "having mines at home," Xia Yan simply gathered a large amount of gunpowder from the byproducts of some minerals. Some of this gunpowder was stored by him, and some were arranged as traps by Xia Yan. This can be considered as Xia Yan's backup plan to prevent himself from being attacked in Konoha and to kill enemies. As an experienced warrior, Danzo initially did not notice the problem with the wooden box because the sound of the gunpowder fuse burning was different from the sound of the explosive tags being ignited. But no matter what, the incompetence of the Konoha security team has been known to everyone. The people of Konoha Village are even more angry, considering this incompetent security team to be a disgrace to Konoha. They brought up the performance of the Uchiha clan from years ago to make comparisons and criticized these mediocre individuals. At the same time, they reminisced about the management of the Uchiha clan back then.
For a while, nostalgia for the Uchiha became a daily topic among the people of Konoha Village. ... This matter is getting bigger and bigger. Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen did not suspect that this was Xia Yan's revenge. After all, Xia Yan was just a small Chūnin who was recently promoted to Jōnin for political reasons. How could he possibly do such a thing?
The two suspects are insiders familiar with Konoha's intelligence! That's right, it's the Uchiha clan! After Uchiha was attacked by Danzo, it is only right for the grieving Uchiha to issue a warning. As a result, they began to suppress the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha clan instinctively fought back, propagating the goodness of the Uchiha clan from the past, upholding the reputation of the Uchiha clan, and undermining the authority of Danzo and the Third Hokage. The controversy grew larger and larger. Even the students at the ninja school understood. "Sasuke, I didn't expect the Uchiha clan to be so powerful before!" Little Sakura exclaimed, "Without you, the public security in Konoha has declined significantly!" "The Uchiha clan is indeed powerful, it's Sasuke's family!" Ino proudly raised her head, "If it weren't for a traitor, Konoha wouldn't have to worry about public security at all." Sasuke listened and felt a bit uncomfortable. In the end, the Uchiha clan was annihilated, leaving only him and Itachi. Whether those babies can grow up to become outstanding Uchiha is still uncertain. But amidst the discomfort, there was also some happiness. "Of course, we Uchiha are the strongest!" He proudly raised his head, "In the future, I will restore the glory of the Uchiha clan and truly revive the Uchiha!" Little Sakura and the other girls immediately applauded and nodded vigorously. They weren't stupid, they knew they had to please Sasuke in order to secure a girlfriend position. However, they were still young, and as they spoke, they somehow veered into the topic they cared most about. "Sasuke, didn't Itachi say that in order to revive the Uchiha, you must have a wife... What do you think of me?" "You go away, I am the strongest kunoichi in the ninja school, I am the most compatible with Sasuke!" "No! What the Uchiha clan needs is a wife who can take care of children, and I am the best at taking care of children. I even helped my aunt's little brother change diapers. Can you do that?" The girls started chattering and arguing. On the other hand, little Sakura spoke with a heavy heart, "Sasuke, I heard that your brother married several wives... You must not become a womanizer like him." "He's not a good person, who would marry so many people normally?" "I heard he gave up the honor of being a ninja and became obsessed with dating girls... Sasuke, you must not be like him!"
When Sasuke heard little Sakura's words, he, who had almost ignored the girls around him, suddenly became furious. "Little Sakura, what do you know?!" Sasuke angrily said, "You don't know at all how much Itachi sacrificed for me to be able to train at full capacity, for the growth of the Uchiha!" "Do you know that I saw him fighting hard until dawn every day before he could barely sleep?" "Do you know that Itachi endured the ridicule of other ninja from different clans, but still had to insist on marrying and having concubines, and had to get along with a large group of women, living a life he didn't want?" "Do you know that this year, the Uchiha clan has grown from two members to seventeen, all thanks to Itachi's efforts!" Thinking about the group of chattering girls around him, Sasuke couldn't help but feel annoyed. He couldn't even imagine what it would be like if Itachi wasn't there, and he had to live with a group of girls in order to revive the Uchiha clan. What kind of annoyance would that be? It would feel like death! Sasuke glared at little Sakura. "Little Sakura, do you know that the reason I can have a peaceful time at the ninja school is all because Itachi carried the burden for me?"
