In this way, it can make the Uchiha clan and the Third Hokage have conflicts, weakening the strength of Konoha Village.
But now, who would dare to carry out such small actions? If they provoke the Uchiha's displeasure and the Uchiha clan holds a grudge against Kumogakure, what should they do?
Moreover, that Third Hokage couldn't even block a single kick from Uchiha Ryosuke.
Such a Hokage is really too weak. The once "Hero of Konoha" has also grown old.
This is something unavoidable—aging, bodily functions naturally decline, and the courage of youth is no longer there.
He seriously said, "This is for the Uchiha clan. Do you still dare to stop us?"
The face of the Konoha gate-guarding Jonin changed. Although he was a supporter of the Hokage, he also knew the current situation in the village—the Uchiha clan's power was immense, and the Third Hokage was completely unable to compete.
Especially since several clans that originally supported the Hokage had defected to the Uchiha clan.
Helpless, he could only let them pass and personally lead them there.
This matter could only be reported to the Third Hokage afterward. Maybe the Third Hokage had a way to obtain this compensation payment because it belonged to the village.
If all of it went to the Uchiha clan, the other clans would not be convinced.
The war with Kumogakure lasted for over ten years. The battle between the Uchiha and Hyuga clans against Kumogakure was only the final battle.
Many other clans had also participated in the previous battles. There should be some credit for them, right?
Even though it was ransom, the ransom in war was generally enormous. It was impossible for people not to be envious.
He led the Kumogakure squad alone to the Uchiha clan's territory. There was no need to worry about safety. This time, Kumogakure had been beaten so badly by the Uchiha clan that they probably wouldn't dare to stir up trouble.
Moreover, this was Konoha Village. If anything unusual happened, the village's ninjas would naturally come to support.
The Kumogakure group saw that the other party no longer made things difficult for them, but they did not show any arrogance.
The Uchiha clan was now the ones who truly held power in Konoha Village.
Before long, the Konoha Jonin led the Kumogakure group to the entrance of the Uchiha clan's territory.
"From here on, you can go by yourselves."
Then he hurried toward the Hokage building.
The thirteen Kumogakure ninjas immediately walked toward the Uchiha clan's territory.
Among them, the leading Jonin, Isi, was soon taken to the conference room.
In the conference room, Uchiha Fugaku looked at the Kumogakure Jonin and guessed in his heart that they must have come to deliver the ransom. Otherwise, they wouldn't have any other business.
He immediately said, "The ransom should have been delivered, right?"
"Yes." Isi replied.
He took out a scroll from his chest, opened it, and then spread his hands. He formed a hand seal with both hands.
Boom!
A cloud of white smoke appeared. Immediately, a large chest appeared on the scroll.
"Clan Leader Fugaku, please check and accept it."
Looking at this large chest of money, his heart was filled with helplessness. If only they hadn't launched such an attack on Konoha Village back then—but there was no medicine for regret.
Uchiha Fugaku immediately had a few clansmen count it.
He felt that with such a large sum of money, there was a possibility of deception, so it was necessary to verify it carefully.
He was also delighted in his heart. With this money, the clan wouldn't have to worry about financial issues at all.
The clansmen who voluntarily withdrew from the police force before could also be temporarily supported with funds.
A few Uchiha clansmen quickly finished counting. "Clan Leader, the amount is correct."
Fugaku smiled with satisfaction. "Good. That concludes the matter. Please leave, we will not entertain you further."
The Kumogakure ninjas were very despicable. Keeping them in the clan was a hidden danger—they might try to steal the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.
At this moment, however, Isi did not intend to leave. Instead, he spoke, "The ransom for this year has already been paid. Can you allow the Two-Tails Jinchuriki and Mabui to return to the village? They should have already assisted your clan in the investigation."
The Two-Tails Jinchuriki was an extremely important combat force in their village. Although she did not perform well in this war, there was no way to do anything against the powerful Uchiha clan.
But for other villages, she was still an incredibly strong combat force.
As for Mabui, she was the Fourth Raikage's secretary and knew a great deal of Kumogakure's secrets. Naturally, she could not be left in the hands of the other party.
Fugaku, however, shook his head at this request and said, "I have no authority over this matter. They are prisoners of Uchiha Ryosuke. I will send someone to take you to ask him. If you want them back, you must get his consent."
Isi naturally knew who this person was. It was this man who had defeated Kumogakure. He hadn't expected that he would have to get this man's approval.
Hopefully, nothing would change.
Soon, he arrived at Uchiha Ryosuke's house.
Upon learning that this guy wanted to take away his prisoners, Uchiha Ryosuke was a little unhappy in his heart.
Nii Yugito and Mabui were like two charging batteries, continuously increasing his chakra reserves. If they left, where would he get more chakra?
More importantly, Kurenai Yuhi was now pregnant, so naturally, she could not engage in any intimate activities.
As for Yugao, that woman had already run away. Of course, he could also go to Konoha's pleasure district, but who knew whether the women there were clean or not? If he caught some disease, that would be a huge headache.
Meanwhile, these two captives were good women—great figures, and most importantly, they had endurance.
Both of them had already been nearly conquered by him, especially Mabui—no matter what position he suggested, she would cooperate with him. That was truly worry-free.
Isi saw that the other party had not responded for a long time and felt a bad premonition.
The other party's hesitation—could it be that he wasn't planning to let them go? That wouldn't be good news for Kumogakure.
At this moment, Mabui, who was standing behind Ryosuke, spoke first. "I'm not going back."
Isi was shocked. She actually refused? Did she have a reason to stay?
Mabui even winked at Isi. She wanted to stay to complete her revenge on Uchiha Ryosuke—giving birth to an entire generation of Uchiha children in Kumogakure was her ultimate goal.
She was not even sure if she was pregnant yet. She was looking forward to the day when Uchiha Ryosuke would see Uchiha clansmen appearing in Kumogakure and be shocked. Just thinking about it made her feel satisfied—this was her revenge for how he had played with her body.
Isi understood from Mabui's actions that she had a plan, so he could only accept it.
Nii Yugito also knew Mabui's intentions. She had long discussed it with her—it was indeed a great plan. And she was even more willing to stay here. If she returned to the village, she would face those hateful and resentful gazes because she was a Jinchuriki.
She preferred it here—she didn't feel the same pressure as in the village.
Moreover, being with Uchiha Ryosuke was actually quite enjoyable. At first, it had been embarrassing, but now she liked being by his side. Because he was so captivating. Those restless hands of his also brought her a very comfortable feeling.
So she spoke up, "I'm not going back either."
Isi's expression changed again. Nii Yugito didn't want to return either? She was a Jinchuriki, an important combat force for the village.
"How can this be?"
