Naruto: We Uchiha only want to make money.

Chapter 93 Reunion with the Prison Gang, Extortion of Danzo!

After repairing Asuma, Shingetsu led everyone to the border.

We've just crossed the border.

They saw the ongoing fighting. Black smoke rose from many places along the border, and the sounds of explosions and shouts of battle could be faintly heard. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and scorched earth.

Konoha's forward outposts and fortifications had clearly been attacked, with scorch marks from Lightning Release ninjutsu remaining in many places.

"I never expected the battle to be so fierce!" Shen Yue exclaimed, as this was her first time participating in such a large-scale war.

"We've never seen a battle of this scale since the Third Shinobi World War!" Hiashi Hyuga and Kakashi both said with serious expressions.

They were survivors of the Third Shinobi World War.

At this moment, they also felt that the atmosphere of the battlefield before them was far more severe than they had imagined when they were in Konoha.

At this time.

Suddenly, the trees and shrubs in the woods began to rustle.

Several masked, icy-smelling members of "Root" emerged from the shadows.

"Wait a minute, we need to verify your identities!" Even if they had seen the headbands on Shen Yue's foreheads before, or even knew people in Shen Yue's group, they still had to verify their identities again.

These subordinates of the roots continued to strictly carry out orders.

"Danzo's training of his subordinates is truly impressive!" Shingetsu couldn't help but admire in his heart.

Danzo, though ruthless, despicable, and ugly, was a cunning and ruthless villain.

However, the subordinates they train are definitely elites.

The Root subordinates carefully examined the identification documents of Shingetsu and his group, as well as the Third Hokage's warrant. Their gazes lingered on Shingetsu for several seconds, their eyes filled with scrutiny and a hint of barely perceptible hostility.

After verification.

Only then did they allow Shenyue and the others to proceed to the core camp.

The camp was located in a secluded valley several miles behind the border, heavily fortified with barriers and patrols. The atmosphere inside the camp was oppressive, with wounded ninjas everywhere and medical ninjas moving about. The air was filled with a mixture of blood and herbal odors.

Danzo Shimura is inside the tent.

His right ear was still wrapped in thick bandages, his face was more gloomy than usual, and his single eye was filled with exhaustion and barely concealed anger. He was discussing the battle situation with several frontline commanders and the remnants of "Root," and the atmosphere was tense.

When he looked up, he saw Shen Yue and the others walking in.

However, he only glanced at Shingetsu before looking at Hiashi.

They thought he was the captain.

As the head of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi Hyuga's strength, experience, and calm demeanor made him, in Danzo's eyes, the most suitable leader for this support team.

He nodded directly to Japan Football Club.

"Hiashi, you've come at the perfect time. With you here, this war will be much easier!"

However, upon hearing Danzo's words, Hiashi Hyuga immediately stepped aside, revealing Shingetsu behind him.

"This is our team leader, Uchiha Kamizuki!" Hyuga Hiashi introduced to Danzo that Kamizuki was their team leader.

Shen Yue crossed her arms and laughed, "Lao Tuan, are you surprised? Unexpected?"

His tone was relaxed, as if he were greeting an old friend, but the sarcasm in his words was obvious to everyone.

"Nonsense! Uchiha Shingetsu, you're so young and still wet behind the ears, how can you be a captain? Commanding such an important border support mission is no child's play! What was Hiruzen thinking?!" For some reason, whenever he saw Shingetsu, he could no longer maintain his usual gloomy and dignified demeanor, and he would always break down in defense.

Shen Yue retorted sarcastically, "Just because I cut off one of your ears. Lord Danzo, does your ear still hurt? Do you want me to help you remember how you were careless and didn't dodge?" He ruthlessly reopened Danzo's wounds, his words sharp and cutting, showing no mercy to this "Darkness of the Ninja".

"You bastard!" Danzo roared in anger upon hearing this.

The killing intent in his single eye surged instantly, and his chakra fluctuated subtly around him.

He didn't expect that Shen Yue would dare to be so arrogant and confront him head-on so openly, exposing his shortcomings in public as soon as they met.

"Holy crap, is a fight about to break out?" The other Konoha ninjas and Root members inside the tent held their breath, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Fortunately, Danzo also knew that he could not kill Shingetsu in front of everyone.

He suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed his killing intent, saying in an icy voice, "Sharp-tongued brat. Since Hiruzen has appointed you as captain, I won't say anything more. The battle is urgent right now, and I don't have time to waste on you."

He paused, then continued, "Now, as the frontline command advisor for Konoha, I will assign your team your first mission."

However, Shenyue ignored his words and reached out her hand first.

He spread his small hand out and stretched it directly in front of Danzo, with a matter-of-fact expression on his face.

Danzo, puzzled, frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Give us the money, Lord Danzo. Our squad has traveled a long way to provide support, and we're exhausted. We urgently need improved food, replenished high-grade ninja tools, and special rations to enhance our combat strength. As the frontline commander, you wouldn't refuse even this basic supply, would you? As the saying goes, 'An army marches on its stomach.' If our brothers are hungry and armed with tattered ninja tools, their morale will be low, and the mission will easily fail. If that affects the outcome of the battle, I'm afraid you, Lord Danzo, can't bear the responsibility, can you?"

"You want money from me again?" Danzo was so angry he almost choked.

His one eye blazed with fury as he stared at Shen Yue's self-righteous little face, forcing out the words through gritted teeth: "Shen Yue, didn't you say in the Uchiha police force that the more you talk about dedication, the higher your moral character becomes; the more you talk about benefits, the narrower your mind becomes? I'll return that saying to you today. As a Konoha ninja, your primary duty should be completing missions and protecting the village. How can you keep talking about money?"

"Sorry, that was said to other people, it doesn't apply to me. I'm a hypocrite!" Shen Yue simply shrugged.

"Besides, even the most loyal ninjas are still flesh and blood; they need to eat and have equipment. We can't expect everyone to go to war with the Cloud Village's Lightning Release warriors on an empty stomach, can we? Look at the Hiashi clan leader, Kakashi-senpai, Guy-senpai, and Kurenai-sensei; they're all watching." He cleverly dragged the other team members into the conversation as well.

"Actually, it's fine if you don't pay!" Inside the tent, Kakashi's Sharingan twitched slightly, and he was about to blurt it out when he quickly swallowed it back.

Based on his observations along the way.

He really dared to say that.

Shen Yue really dared to beat him up on the spot.

"What Shingetsu-kun said seems to make a lot of sense!" Kai scratched his head, feeling that Shingetsu's words seemed to have some merit.

"Ahem!" Kurenai Yuhi said somewhat awkwardly.

"This!" Hiashi Hyuga said expressionlessly, while Asuma snorted.

"You bastard!" Danzo's chest heaved. He knew that Shingetsu was being unreasonable, but if he refused even basic supplies in front of everyone, he would appear callous and heartless, disregarding the lives of his subordinates. Especially after he had just suffered a crushing defeat, heavy losses, and damage to his reputation.

Of course, more importantly...

He knew that Shenyue might actually dare to cause trouble to his face!
