Hokage Building!
This building was built when Hashirama Senju pacified the Warring States Period and created the Ninja Village Era. It has a very high status in Konoha. As time goes by, the prices of buildings around the Hokage Building have increased exponentially.

Nearly 80% of the industries and properties near the Hokage Building belong to the Senju and Uchiha.

Can……

The Senju clan has now been almost wiped out, and 90% of the properties they left behind have been nationalized.

After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Uchiha clan was forcibly replaced with a piece of wasteland in the suburbs and a piece of land in the center of the village by the Third Hokage, on the grounds that the Nine-Tails had the Sharingan pattern in its eyes.

At this time, the impact on the top leaders of the Uchiha family was not great, and they did not feel anything. One hundred million or ten million could make them worry-free about food and drink.

Uchiha Itachi's father is the clan leader, and his family is supported by the entire clan, so they don't feel the worries of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

But for ordinary Uchiha, those days were truly miserable.

Not all Uchiha are ninjas, there are still a large number of civilians, such as Uchiha Jyo and Uchiha Tesho. These old couple have no fighting power at all, they just run a pancake shop!

Originally they had shops and houses in the center of the village. Even if others disliked the Uchiha clan, they would inevitably spend some money when they went to the Hokage Building, making the lives of ordinary Uchiha clan members very comfortable and stable. Therefore, when Madara wanted to take his people away, no one paid any attention to him.

But with the relocation of the clan's land, the shops were also taken away and moved to the edge of the village. The Uchiha themselves were ostracized by the village, so naturally no one would go to the edge of the village to play. You can imagine how the assets of ordinary Uchiha have shrunk.

Uchiha Jing and Uchiha Tesho had just finished packing up their shop and were about to close it when Uchiha Yashiro, wearing the uniform of the Uchiha Police Department, came over with his men.

Uchiha Tesho had a surprised expression on his face, and then he said kindly, "Yashiro-sama! Are you still patrolling so late? You've worked so hard."

The Uchiha people who have not opened the Sharingan have personalities that are not much different from ordinary people. They are even more immature, kind, and naive than ordinary people. Uchiha Tesaki is a member of the tribe who has no ninja talent, so naturally he needs to be humble. This is the way of survival for small people.

"Tonight is not an inspection, it's a mission assigned by Elder Setsuna." Uchiha Yashiro's face was cold, without any change in emotion.

As he spoke, Yashiro pulled out two black pills from the large bag on his shoulder and handed them to Uchiha Tesaki.

"What is this, Lord Eighth Generations?" Uchiha Tesho bent over, stretched out his hands, took it respectfully, and asked with a nervous look on his face.

After Uchiha opens the Sharingan, his personality becomes very cold, or tsundere. When he sees those tribesmen who don't have the Sharingan, he looks down on them in words, but he never bullies them in his actions, and even actively protects his tribesmen.

Uchiha Obito, who depends on his grandmother for life, was able to enter the elite class of the ninja school and learn the unique [Uchiha Throwing Technique], [Fire Release Ninjutsu], etc. It can be seen that the Uchiha family is very fair to its members.

but,

Uchiha's cold-outside-warm-inside personality still makes people scared. Even Uchiha Tesho felt nervous when facing the cold face of the Eighth Dai.

"Handy! You don't have the talent for ninja, but you are also an elder in the family. You should also understand the conflict between the family and the village."

"Elder Setsuna suspected that the village would attack us in the near future, so he distributed secret medicine to every member of the tribe."

"You guys take it now!"

The Uchiha Tesho couple looked at each other, and without hesitation, they each took a pill and swallowed it.

As they were at the bottom of the family, they understood the importance of the family to them the most. No matter what medicine the family asked them to take at this time, even if it was poison, they had to take it immediately.

After taking the secret medicine, the two people immediately fell to the ground and screamed in pain. Yashiro nodded and went to the house of the neighbor with burned hands to continue distributing medicine.

··········
Hokage Building!
Sarutobi Hiruzen moved away the pile of documents, took out a crystal ball the size of a lead ball, and skillfully performed the [Telescope Technique].

As the ritual was completed, the scene of the Uchiha clan soon appeared on the crystal ball. After taking the pills one by one, they all fell to the ground in pain, but after the pain, only ninjas could endure it, and chakra appeared in their bodies.

The amount of chakra in his body is only at the Genin level, but he has broken through to the Chunin level...

Seeing this, the Third Hokage pretended to be calm and took a puff of his pipe, then asked Uchiha Itachi: "How many secret medicines like this do you have?"

Uchiha Itachi, who was kneeling on one knee, replied: "No one knows whether Elder Setsuna still has secret medicine in his hand, but he is one of the oldest members of the family now, so it is possible that he still has some hidden cards in his hand."

When the Third Hokage heard this, he took a deep breath, glanced at Danzo, and then remained silent.

Danzo, who was standing nearby, understood what he meant. He walked up to Uchiha Itachi, took the pill from his hand, and after examining it for a while, he said, "The Hidden Cloud Village has been restless recently, and is ready to start another Ninja World War. At this critical moment of survival, the village is in great need of this secret medicine."

"Itachi! Can you convince Fugaku to hand over those secret medicines that were distributed to the Uchiha civilians to the village?"

"Even if civilians take the secret medicine, the improvement effect will not be that great."

"If these secret medicines can be given to Hiruzen to distribute, the village's strength will definitely be greatly improved."

It was at this point that the Sandaime scolded, "Shut up, Danzo!"

"The secret medicine belongs to the Uchiha, and the Hokage has no right to interfere in the family's internal affairs."

"If word gets out that I asked Fugaku for the secret medicine, what will happen?"

Danzo said firmly, "The Uchiha are also Konoha's Uchiha. They should give back to the village."

"This is not targeting the Uchiha. If I have a secret medicine, I will definitely contribute it to the village without hesitation."

Uchiha Itachi was in a dilemma. It was not that he was reluctant to hand over the secret medicine. In his heart, the village was more important than the family. Not to mention handing over only part of the secret medicine, even if he handed it all over to the village, he would not think there was anything wrong. It was just that he knew that he was not popular in the family now.

"What a narrow-minded clan!"

"You always focus on the family. You don't know that there must be a village before there can be a family." Uchiha sighed in his heart.

"Reporting to the advisor, I cannot convince my father and the elders!"

The Sandaime and Danzo looked at each other, and when Danzo was about to continue to put pressure on Itachi, he continued.

"And Elder Setsuna said that this secret medicine is only effective for Uchiha. If other people take it, it will not only be useless, but harmful."

At this point Itachi's eyes flickered, and then he said: "And..."

"Elder Shanta's behavior tonight is very strange, and it is very different from his previous behavior."

"I suspect that Setsuna took out the secret medicine this time to forcibly intensify the conflict between the village and the family. He has already prepared for a coup."

"Sandaime-sama!"

"In order to prevent my foolish people from starting a civil war and thus bringing the village into the abyss, please make a decision, Third-sama!"

"You have been kind and tolerant to us enough." (End of this chapter)
