Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

When Uchiha Kagezuki was about to return to the Konoha front line, he suddenly received a request from Yakushi Nono.

She looked a little anxious, and told Yingyue with a little concern about the current difficulties faced by Konoha Orphanage.

She said that the Hokage's assistant Danzo Shimura had recently come to the orphanage and threatened to stop funding, demanding that the orphans in the orphanage also go to the battlefield to help support Konoha's front line.

Faced with such a tough request, Yakushi Kirara and Nono felt very embarrassed.

After hearing what Yakushi Nono said, Uchiha Yingyue's face gradually became gloomy.

His support for the Konoha Orphanage has always been not only out of goodwill, but also out of strategic considerations.

Many of the orphans from Konoha Orphanage grew up to become forces loyal to Shadow Moon - whether they joined the Police Department, the Aurora Organization, or directly served in different departments of Konoha.

These orphans grew up with the support of Shadow Moon and gradually became an important part of Shadow Moon's power.

Now Danzo Shimura is trying to send these children to the front lines, and Kagezuki knows clearly that Danzo's goal is far from just for Konoha's victory, but to further control Konoha's power and even weaken his own influence in the village.

"Let's go, I'll go to the orphanage with you." Yingyue said calmly to Pharmacist Nono.

Uchiha Yingyue decided to handle the matter personally.

As for the orphanage, Yingyue cannot just sit back and do nothing. This is not only related to his long-term plan, but also to the future of these orphans.

Along the way, Yingyue was thinking.

He was already used to Danzo's threats and tactics. This man always used whatever means necessary to achieve his goals and didn't care about other people's lives.

Yingyue knew that Danzo had secretly solved many problems for Konoha over the years, but his actions also brought many new enemies to the village.

The orphans were too young, and sending them to the battlefield was obviously to fill the shortage of manpower in the war, but it was obviously a foolish move to sacrifice the lives of the new generation so hastily.

Arriving at the Konoha Orphanage, Kagezuki saw Yakushi Kirara and some of the orphanage's administrators discussing how to respond to Danzo's request.

When she saw Yingyue, a trace of relief appeared on Yaoshi Qiluo's face. She had already heard about Uchiha Yingyue's arrival and believed that he could help the orphanage overcome the difficulties.

"Master Yingyue, thank you for coming in person." Yaoshi Qiluo said, with a hint of worry in her tone, "We really don't know how to deal with Master Danzo. The conditions he proposed are almost impossible to refuse."

Yingyue nodded, sat down and asked directly: "What did he say?"

Yakushi Nonou and Yakushi Kirara explained Danzo's request in detail.

Danzo asked the Konoha Orphanage to send some orphans to the front line to support the war, otherwise he would stop allocating funds, citing the fact that the orphans had long relied on the village's financial funding. This was undoubtedly using the fate of the orphans as a bargaining chip to achieve his goal. Yingyue was very annoyed by this.

"Danzo has used this kind of threat countless times," Shadow Moon whispered, "However, the orphanage's funding does not all come from Konoha. Most of it is provided by me through the resources of the Aurora Organization in the past few years."

A flash of surprise flashed in Yakushi Kirara's eyes, and then she was relieved. Yingyue continued, "Since I have been supporting the orphanage, there is no need to succumb to Danzo's request. I will meet him in person and stop his ridiculous plan."

When Pharmacist Nono heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yingyue's prestige and strength in Konoha Village cannot be underestimated. Even the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen attaches great importance to him.

With Shadow Moon intervening, Danzo's plan will inevitably not go smoothly.

"Lord Yingyue, with your help, the children will not be implicated." Pharmacist Qiluo said gratefully.

Yingyue stood up, her eyes firm: "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter. No one can force you, and no one can sacrifice the future of these children at will."

He knew that he was about to face not only the threat from Danzo, but also problems in the entire Konoha war mechanism.

Yingyue was well aware that Konoha had fallen into a dilemma of manpower shortage, and was even willing to let underage ninjas graduate early and send them directly to the battlefield.

However, this is not a fundamental solution to the problem.

Shadow Moon is determined to use her influence to stop this short-sighted approach and seek a more reasonable solution.

No matter what, he would not let Danzo control the fate of the orphans.

During his visit to the Konoha Orphanage, Uchiha Kagezuki gradually learned about the recent situation of the orphanage.

Pharmacist Nono introduced him to the background and growth of many children, which made Yingyue feel it necessary to pay attention to this place that he had been supporting for a long time again.

In Nono's story, one name particularly caught Yingyue's attention - Kabuto Yakushi.

The name of Kabuto Yakushi made Yingyue fall into deep thought. The memory of the previous life made Yingyue very clear about the future direction of Kabuto Yakushi.

This seemingly insignificant orphan would later become one of the driving forces behind the Fourth Ninja World War, possessing incredible wisdom and strength.

However, Yingyue also remembered clearly the reason why he turned evil and became a villain, which was all due to the manipulation of Danzo Shimura.

Not only did Danzo turn Kabuto into a spy, he also had him kill his mentor, Kirara Yakushi, the former director of the Konoha Orphanage, with his own hands, completely destroying Kabuto's beliefs and personality.

Yingyue was silent for a while, looking deeply at the group of children led by Nono.

He knew in his heart that if he allowed Danzo Shimura to continue to put pressure on the Konoha Orphanage, these innocent children would sooner or later be dragged into that cruel war and become cannon fodder.

Especially for Kabuto Yakushi, Yingyue knew that if he continued to grow according to the trajectory of his previous life, he would not be able to escape Danzo's control and would eventually go down a path of no return.

"Nono, how have you been lately?" Yingyue asked calmly.

"It's OK," Yakushi Nono replied, but from her expression, it can be seen that she is a little tired, "It's just that the orphanage has been under a lot of financial pressure recently. Fortunately, we have your financial support, otherwise we really don't know what to do."

Shadow Moon nodded.

He knew that the recent pressure exerted by Danzo Shimura was precisely to cut off the orphanage's external support and force them to hand over the orphans to go to the battlefield.

Konoha, which is short of combat resources, is in urgent need of more manpower, and the children in the orphanage are seen as a "cheap" source of manpower.

Danzo obviously doesn't care about the life or death of these children, he only cares about how to solve the problem of shortage of manpower on the front line as soon as possible.

Yingyue has made a decision in his heart: he must not let Danzo's conspiracy succeed.

Yingyue said to Yakushi Nono, "Let's go. I will talk to Hokage-sama. This issue cannot be left alone. There must be a reasonable arrangement for the children in the orphanage. Older children can participate in logistics work and help the village, but those who are too young, sending them to the battlefield will only waste their lives and will not bring any practical help to the village."

Pharmacist Nono looked at Yingyue gratefully and nodded in agreement. She was full of hope for Yingyue's arrival, knowing that he would fight for the orphans' due rights.
