Chapter 210: Fire Attribute Chakra
Uchiha Goka was putting on his shoes on the steps in front of the door.
His wife said from behind: “Goka, can you get promoted to Jonin this time?”
“It will definitely happen.”
A thumping sound came from behind, and his daughter, who didn’t like wearing shoes, ran over.
Uchiha Goka grabbed his daughter and teased her with his stubble, scaring her so much that she leaned back and struggled repeatedly.
He said: “After the War of the Land of Whirlpools, the Clan Head recommended four of us Special Jonin for promotion to Jonin.
Our Uchiha Clan shed blood in the Land of Whirlpools and earned so many military achievements.
The village won’t refuse us even four Jonin slots, right?
I heard the Sarutobi Clan recommended nine Jonin, the most among all ninja clans.”
Goka’s wife said: “There are few Jonin, and their status is high. I’m just afraid the village won’t want us to have four more Jonin.”
“No problem. Even if the village screens us, my mission record is the best among Special Jonin.”
Uchiha Goka put on his Guard Department vest, left home, and headed to the Guard Department.
Uchiha Ninja went to the front line during wars, but normally served in the Guard Department.
The Guard Department’s work was tedious, with very low pay. The village limited the number of normal missions Uchiha Ninja could take, trapping them all in the Guard Department.
Entering the Interrogation Room, Uchiha Goka saw that the Sixth Patrol Squad had brought in a suspect.
This suspect was accused of stealing compensation from a sacrificed ninja and refused to confess where he had hidden the compensation.
Uchiha Goka thought to himself, Leaf Ninja sacrifice on the front line, yet you’re stealing compensation from their families in the village?
“I’ll interrogate this one. Wake him up!”
Two minutes later, Uchiha Goka left the Interrogation Room with panic and confusion in his eyes.
A Guard Ninja looked into the Interrogation Room.
“Dead?”
Uchiha Goka said: “If he’s dead, he’s dead. He’s just a thief who stole compensation. Send someone to Anbu and ask an Anbu Yamanaka Clan Ninja to read the memories in the corpse’s brain.”
Ten minutes later, several Anbu appeared at the entrance of the Konoha Military Police Force.
The Guard Department Vice Minister, Uchiha Touka, hurried down the stairs.
Seeing it was the familiar Fox, Uchiha Touka breathed a sigh of relief.
“Fox Jonin, what is this?”
Yoru thought to himself, sorry, and said sternly:
“I’m here to take Uchiha Goka to Anbu for questioning. Anbu received news that a Konoha Villager died in the Guard Department Interrogation Room.
Where’s Uchiha Goka? Have him come out.”
In the hall, all the Guard Department Ninja looked at Uchiha Touka, hoping Uchiha Touka could send Anbu away.
But Uchiha Touka felt bitter inside.
Fox was one of Anbu’s Four Major Division Captains and was highly trusted by the Hokage and Kiiroinu.
Even if their Clan Head came…
Uchiha Kane also came down from upstairs. He said:
“Fox Jonin, is there some misunderstanding here? Goka was interrogating a thief who stole compensation from a sacrificed ninja.”
Hippopotamus stepped forward and said:
“According to our intelligence, the thief is also the orphan of a sacrificed ninja and has long had conflicts with the family he stole from.
Anbu has confirmed he didn’t take the compensation; he just moved it somewhere else as a prank.
The one you interrogated to death wasn’t a thief; it was the orphan of a sacrificed ninja!”
Yoru said: “Clan Head Zhong, human life is at stake. Anbu must take Uchiha Goka. If his crime isn’t serious, he’ll naturally be released.”
Uchiha Goka slowly pushed through the crowd and came before the Anbu Ninja.
He didn’t know what punishment he would face, but his Jonin qualification was probably hopeless now.
When Uchiha Fugaku hurriedly arrived at the Guard Department, he saw the backs of Anbu and Uchiha Goka leaving.
He rushed to the Minister’s office on the top floor and saw his stern-faced father and Teacher Touka.
After signaling Fugaku to close the door, Uchiha Touka said:
“Clan Head, there’s no one representing our Uchiha Clan in the Hokage Building. It’s too passive.
This time they’re targeting us, and we know nothing about it.”
Uchiha Kane shook his head and said: “Ever since Mirror died, our connection to the Hokage Building has been cut.
Among those high-ranking officials in the Hokage Building, which one do you think would support us?
Even if we grovel to them, how much trust would we get?
Danzo’s Root recruits for Anbu. Danzo went to other ninja clans but skipped our Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan.
In this War of the Land of Whirlpools, we produced 21 Three Tomoe clansmen, and I only recommended four of them for Jonin promotion, but the village still refuses.”
Uchiha Touka asked: “Did Goka’s incident really happen because he was recommended for Jonin?”
Uchiha Kane didn’t deny it. He immediately understood that Goka was fine; Anbu was targeting Goka.
Fugaku suddenly said from the side: “Father, Teacher, can we proactively apply to join Anbu and work for the Third Hokage, gradually gaining the trust of the high-ranking officials?
I’m willing to apply to the Third Hokage to join Anbu for the sake of the clan!”
“Nonsense!” Uchiha Kane said:
“Do you think Anbu is some good place?
Don’t just see Copper Fox being impressive; look at Anbu’s terrifying casualty rate.
Executing missions for the Third Hokage, do you think it’s that easy?
On the Land of Whirlpools Battlefield, Copper Fox had a decent relationship with us. He guided you and fought together in the ambush on the Mist Ninja Sword Seizing Unit.
But look, after Copper Fox returned to the village, does he still care about that past camaraderie?
Anbu’s first step in training is to eliminate emotions, destroy the self, and amplify the darkness in the heart.
The Hokage’s orders are everything.
In such an Anbu, would you still be you after going in?”
“But besides joining Anbu, what other way is there to gain the trust and support of the high-ranking officials?”
Uchiha Kane said slowly: “You don’t need to rush. I saw Copper Fox had no killing intent; he won’t do anything to Goka.
What Anbu wants is to sabotage Goka’s Jonin recommendation, not to do anything to Goka himself.
Go inquire about the Senju Clan’s treatment. If the Senju Clan is being suppressed at the same time as our Uchiha Clan, I’ll feel a bit more balanced.”
In the Anbu Base, Hippopotamus brought Uchiha Goka to an Interrogation Room.
Yoru told the others to leave and interrogated Uchiha Goka alone.
“Uchiha Goka, intelligence says you’re skilled in Fire Release?”
“Yes.”
Uchiha Goka didn’t want to say a single extra word.
“Being skilled in Fire Release is good…”
Hippopotamus outside the door suddenly heard fighting sounds and rushed into the Interrogation Room.
Hippopotamus stood there in terror… Uchiha Goka? Killed the Fox Captain?
To frame Uchiha, they’re going this far?
—
【Moon Arc activated!
Host has only one resurrection opportunity per month, resurrecting on the previous Full Moon Night after death.
Reward: one Lucky Draw Opportunity…】
Yoru returned to the previous Full Moon Night and used the System to draw Fire Release Chakra.
The war ended, and he had plenty of opportunities to slowly strengthen himself.
The plot developed as in his previous life. Hippopotamus used a spy to frame Uchiha Goka and took Uchiha Goka to Root.
Three days later, Uchiha Kane went to the Hokage Building and withdrew Uchiha Goka’s Jonin recommendation.
Kiiroinu found Yoru.
“Fox, well done.”
“I wouldn’t dare take all the credit.” Yoru didn’t want to claim all the merit: “It was Hippopotamus’s plan, and he arranged everything from start to finish.”
Better to share the shady deeds among everyone, not put them all on Yoru’s head.
After handing in the mission, Yoru had Purple Cat bring the squad’s Ninjutsu Scroll.
It was time to learn a Fire Release Ninjutsu.
