Crossing Naruto: Becoming a Perfect Jinchūriki

Chapter 40: Return of the Uchiha Clan

The atmosphere in the Hokage's office was extremely tense, and a storm was about to come.

Fugaku looked at the Third Hokage firmly and said in a serious tone:

"Third Hokage, the Uchiha clan has suffered too much hardship and injustice.

As you can see, we have been trying to integrate into Konoha Village, but we have never been treated fairly.

Now, are you still unwilling to let our Uchiha clan return to Konoha?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked silently, and in the smoke, his expression seemed a little solemn.

After a long while, he slowly said: "Fugaku, this matter is not so easy to solve.

Although I understand your feelings, under the current circumstances, allowing the Uchiha clan to return to Konoha requires more consideration and preparation."

When Fugaku heard this, the anger in his heart was instantly ignited.

Fugaku strode forward, slammed the table hard, and asked angrily:

"Why not? Sarutobi Hiruzen!

We, the Uchiha clan, have made so many sacrifices for Konoha. Isn't that enough to prove our loyalty?"

At this moment, Mito Enmon and Utane Koharu looked at each other. They clearly felt that Fugaku's behavior had threatened their position.

So, the two of them shouted in unison: "Fugaku, watch your attitude!

Here, we must respect the decision of the Hokage-sama!"

Fugaku's expression became increasingly gloomy. He glared at Mito Enmon and Utane Koharu, his voice filled with uncontrollable anger.

"Respect? What you call respect is oppression and exploitation of our Uchiha clan?

Let me tell you, what we should really respect is strength!

Today, if you don't agree to my request, I will have no choice but to ask Hiruzen to abdicate. Only in this way can we, the Uchiha clan, be given an explanation!

At the same time, he will have to compensate us for all the losses we have suffered!"

For a moment, the whole office fell into deathly silence.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Fugaku, feeling his powerful and resolute aura.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up at Shisui and Itachi, with some expectation and inquiry in his eyes.

"Shisui and Itachi, do you think the same about this matter?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was low and steady, as if it contained endless wisdom and power.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Shisui and Itachi, and the two of them instantly became the focus of the entire scene.

Fugaku was no exception, he looked at his son and Shisui expectantly, his eyes gleaming with hope, hoping that they would stand up and speak for the family.

Facing everyone's gaze, Shisui and Itachi did not flinch or hesitate at all.

Their gazes were extremely firm, as unshakable as rocks.

After the two looked at each other, they said in unison and righteously:

"That's right! This is what our Uchiha clan deserves! We are all doing this for justice. Konoha owes us this!"

The voices of Shisui and Itachi were sonorous and powerful, shaking people's hearts like the sound of a huge bell, and everyone present could not help but be moved.

Live up to the expectations of the Uchiha clan.

After listening to this, Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked silently. The smoke filled the air, as if covering up his inner anxiety and struggle.

After a while, he finally made a decision: "Okay, we promise to pay compensation... and let the Uchiha clan return to their original clan land."

However, this decision made Mito Enmon and Utane Koharu unable to sit still.

Their faces turned gloomy in an instant, and they secretly groaned in their hearts.

Because the Uchiha clan's resources had already been devoured by the two of them, if they wanted to spit these things out now, it would be harder than climbing to the sky!

What's worse is that on top of that, they have to bear an additional huge amount of compensation.

So, the two of them began to blame each other and argue endlessly, completely losing their previous calmness and decisiveness.

"How can we do this? We can't give up so easily!" Mito Enmon shouted excitedly.

"But what can we do if we don't do this?" Utane Koharu retorted.

"Are we going to turn against the Uchiha clan completely? That will only lead to greater conflict!"

For a moment, the room was filled with a tense atmosphere. The two of them refused to give in to each other and neither of them was willing to compromise.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat quietly aside, watching the scene in front of him, and couldn't help feeling helpless.

He knew that the Uchiha had produced three Mangekyō and were now united, so he could no longer continue to suppress the Uchiha.

If this incident is not handled properly, it may lead to division and unrest within the village...

……

Finally, Konoha's compensation was decided. Konoha not only had to work hard to help the Uchiha return to their clan land and rebuild their homeland;

In addition to compensating for a few more prosperous streets, the Uchiha clan was also cleared of their reputation, and the compensation for mental damage alone amounted to hundreds of millions.

Almost all the compensation money from the Hidden Cloud Village was given to the Uchiha clan before it even warmed up.

Fugaku also investigated the two matters of how Danzo had seized the Sharingan and how the Third War required the Uchiha clan to fight against the Hidden Mist Village.

This meant that Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu had lost most of their savings that they had embezzled over the years.

However, they had to pay compensation. Unless they resolved the injustice in the Uchiha clan's hearts, there would be no way for them to reconcile with the Uchiha clan.

For this purpose, they approached Naruto and asked him about his intentions:

"There's a war between the Uchiha and Konoha, let Naruto choose a side."

But Naruto would not give them a good look, but replied coldly:

“The Uchiha will not be at war with Konoha, but rather it will be between them and the three of you, if there is a war.

I won't protect you either, you deserve it!"

Naruto's answer also extinguished Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others' last bit of hope.

They tried their best to compensate for the injustice that Fugaku had pointed out, not wanting to anger the Uchiha clan by failing to provide adequate compensation.

A few days later, the reform of Konoha's Guard Department was completed, and the Uchiha family was no longer the only one in power.

Construction also began on the clan land in the center of Konoha, and the Uchiha clan began to relocate.

"Wood Release: Four Pillars"

Yamato used the Wood Release Ninjutsu to carefully construct complex wooden houses, all of which were two bedrooms and a living room.

Naruto stood behind Yamato, lending a helping hand and transferring the Nine-Tails' chakra to Yamato. The reconstruction of the Uchiha clan's homeland would be completely completed today!

Surrounding them were the members of the Uchiha clan, all of them with happy expressions on their faces.

Many Uchiha clan members present also had tears in their eyes, because the humiliation they had suffered in the past was finally washed away today.

Just because today, they were finally able to return, and the Third Hokage came here in person, solemnly apologized to the Uchiha clan, and publicly explained the previous misunderstandings about the Uchiha clan.

And compensated for all the previous misunderstandings.

It shows that the Uchiha clan is an integral part of Konoha.

I have to say that Yamato's Wood Release is really suitable for building houses and landscaping.

In just half a day, the houses for all the families of the Uchiha clan were built.

All the Uchiha clan members present were overjoyed, and Naruto also congratulated Sasuke, Itachi, Shisui and others.

At this time, Uchiha Itachi was accompanied not only by Shisui and Sasuke, but also by Uchiha Izumi.

This woman has a special relationship with Uchiha Itachi.

However, Sasuke was always wary of Izumi. As for his brother Uchiha Itachi, he was no longer as busy as before in the past few days and had more time to train with him.

But Uchiha Izumi came to see Itachi frequently, even more diligently than Uchiha Shisui, and was very close to his brother, which seriously took up the time that Sasuke and Itachi spent together.

Sasuke believed that she must want to take his brother away, and now Sasuke felt that Uchiha Izumi was very annoying.

After seeing this, Naruto smiled and eliminated the crisis of civil war between the Uchiha clan and Konoha.

Uchiha Itachi relaxed a lot. He no longer had the strong sense of urgency to save Konoha, and was finally able to spare time to accompany those close to him.

"Naruto, thank you so much. Without you, the Uchiha clan would not be what it is today." Uchiha Shisui said with a smile.

"No, Brother Shisui, I'm just trying my best to help. This is the result of your unremitting efforts, and Konoha owes you." Naruto responded.

"Naruto? I have heard of your deeds. It is said that you defeated the Fourth Raikage. You are really powerful." Uchiha Izumi said.

"Thanks for the compliment," Naruto replied with a smile.

"Brother Shisui, what are you talking about with Naruto? What exactly did Naruto do? Didn't Naruto help us rebuild the house today?" Sasuke asked in confusion.

"Sasuke, Naruto is the great contributor who helped our Uchiha clan return to Konoha." Uchiha Itachi stroked Sasuke's head and explained with a smile.

"Naruto, thank you so much. Would you like to come to my house and have a visit?" At this time, Uchiha Fugaku walked up and asked.

"No, I won't bother you anymore. You just moved and must be busy. I won't bother you anymore." Naruto said goodbye with a smile.

At this moment, the crowd suddenly surged and became noisy.

"Who is this man? It looks like his eyes have been dug out."

"Yeah, that's miserable!"

Naruto turned his head and took a closer look, and it was Kakashi.
