Sarutobi Hiruzen is afraid of Yuu

In the heart of Konoha Village stood the Hokage Building. Yuu strode into the building and made his way to the Third Hokage's office.

It was not Yuu who came to find Sarutobi Hiruzen, but Sarutobi Hiruzen sent someone to find him.

"Yuu, you're here," Sarutobi Hiruzen greeted with a warm smile. To many children, Sarutobi Hiruzen was akin to a kind grandfatherly figure, but Yuu knew his true nature well. If the Third Hokage had summoned him, it likely wasn't for a trivial matter.

"The guards are very busy, I wonder why Third Hokage called me here?" 

"Well, Konoha's security matters, it's your guard team's hard work.," Sarutobi Hiruzen replied.

"This is all for Konoha. Where the leaves are flying, the fire is endless. No matter how hard it is for Konoha, it is worth it. I am also the inheritor of the will of fire.," Yuu didn't blush at all when he said this.

Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled softly. "Yuu, you understand the spirit of the will of fire very well."

"As long as there are leaves scattering, the fire will burn, casting its shadow over the village, and new leaves will sprout. That's the spirit of Konoha," the Third Hokage continued.

"Young people are the hope of the future, Yuu, you will definitely become the pillar of Konoha in the future," Sarutobi Hiruzen remarked, his expression one of reassurance, as if he were pleased to see another successor to the Will of Fire.

"A lot has been happening within your Uchiha clan recently," he added, changing the subject.

"Yeah, the family is unfortunate, there is a rebellion, and it is really shameful to assassinate the elders of our clan. Fortunately, the murderer has been brought to justice," Yuu lamented, his anger evident when speaking of the murderer.

"Damn it, Uchiha Shiryu, the second and third elders worked diligently for Uchiha. This wolf-hearted thing actually assassinated the two elders. I really want to chop him up and feed the dogs," Yuu expressed his fury.

"Is Uchiha Shiryu truly the killer? The affairs of the Uchiha clan concern Konoha as well, and I don't want to falsely accuse an innocent person," Sarutobi Hiruzen replied with concern.

"Of course, it was Uchiha Shiryu. He's already taken his own life out of guilt. Is there any doubt about that?" Yuu clarified.

"However, I suspect that Uchiha Shiryu may have had accomplices, perhaps the two elders who were targeted for assassination. Unfortunately, this is just my guess and there is no evidence," Yuu continued, his tone serious.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked disappointed as he observed Yuu, who was still talking Bullshit.

Upon hearing about the deaths of the two Uchiha elders, Sarutobi Hiruzen briefly suspected Uchiha Yuu, but the case was swiftly resolved before he could intervene. The sudden closure and Uchiha Shiryu's apparent "suicide" left him skeptical.

Whether Uchiha Shiryu's death was a true suicide or a cover-up, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't say, though the latter seemed more likely.

"Hokage-sama, I have a matter to report to you," Yuu interjected.

"Yuu, please proceed," Sarutobi Hiruzen replied, maintaining his friendly demeanor.

"Recently, the funds of the Konoha Guards are a bit insufficient. I wonder if Lord Hokage can allocate some funds? Our Konoha Guards are too poor to spit fire" 

"There is no money in my hand, and the people under me are not working. I, the captain, are also helpless," he added.

"If the guards don't work, how can the security of Konoha Village be ensured? I worry when I think about it" Yuu concluded, appealing to Sarutobi Hiruzen's sense of responsibility.

Just kidding, you called me here to test me, how can i go without getting anything.

Moreover, what Yuu said was true. The Konoha Guards' funds were indeed not high, and the funds allocated to them by Konoha Village were pitifully small.

In the past, when Uchiha Fugaku was the captain, it was the Uchiha family who put money into it, but now that Yuu is the captain, he couldn't rely on such resources.

Who is he Uchiha Yuu?

Even a passing bird had to pay tolls at his door. How could he possibly lose money?

"This... Sigh, the finances of the village are not rich recently, so, Yuu, wait for a while, I will try my best to help you get some funds."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was embarrassed when he heard the request for money.

"Since the finances of the village are not very rich, then I don't want to embarrass Lord Hokage, so let's do my best to restrain the guys in the guards during this time."

Do you practice Tai Chi (The look when a nigga lying but you listening anyway)? Do you really think Yuu doesn't understand?

Konoha Village's financial difficulties, just kidding, Who doesn't know that Konoha Village is the richest? Otherwise, why would other villages start wars with Konoha Village? if It's not for profit?

The Land of Fire is the wealthiest nation, and within it, Konoha Village reigns supreme, That's why the ninja villages of other major countries wage war against the Land of Fire.

"Is there anything else you want to ask, Lord Hokage? If not, I will leave first. The guards can't function without their captain."

"Very well."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

"Uchiha Fugaku can't beat Uchiha Yuu."

"Uchiha Fugaku wouldn't stand a chance against Uchiha Yuu," Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered to himself as Yuu departed. Through their exchange, he recognized Yuus cunning nature.

Uchiha Fugaku can never beat him.

"Looks like I'm going to help him."

Rather than letting the Uchiha family fall into the hands of Uchiha Yuu, it is better to let the Uchiha family fall into the hands of Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Yuu was too much of a threat. He assassinated the two elders and seized this opportunity to cut off Uchiha Fugaku's wings.

Ruthless and unscrupulous, if he becomes the Uchiha patriarch, it will be an absolute destabilizing factor.

Even the elders of the Uchiha family dare to assassinate them, will he dare to assassinate the Hokage in the future?

Possessing quasi-Kage-level strength at a young age, it is very likely the chance of opening the Mangekyō Sharingan in the future.

Thinking of the power of Mangekyō Sharingan, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel jealous of Yuu. If he knew that Yuu had reached Kage-level now, and he had also opened Mangekyō Sharingan, he would be even more jealous.

Yuu, who left the Hokage building, didn't know that Sarutobi Hiruzen had planned to help Uchiha Fugaku.

But even if he knew, Yuu didn't care.

Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to help Uchiha Fugaku, he could not interfere in the affairs of the Uchiha clan aboveboard.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to interfere in the affairs of the Uchiha clan, and all the Uchiha clan will not accept that.

Moreover, Yuu is not afraid of Sarutobi Hiruzen, even if his face is torn apart, his Kage-level strength is his confidence.

And Yuu has not only the strength of Kage-level, but also Mangekyō Sharingan and Shikai of Ryūjin Jakka.

At this stage, as long as Uchiha Madara, who is still lingering, does not attack him, Yuu is not afraid of anyone. *
