Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: The Price of Power

When I came to the Konoha Guard, there were many traces of battle, but seeing that the members of the guard were all working normally, Ryuu was quite satisfied.

"Yes, Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Sota are not bad; at least they can ensure that the Konoha guards are not razed to the ground."

The two of them joined forces to block the pressure of other major families, and Ryuu was very satisfied with them.

"Master Ryuu."

After Ryuu came to the office, Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Canta immediately came to report to Ryuu. They still had injuries on their bodies, and their faces were tired, and they were very tired at a glance.

After seeing Ryuu, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had found the backbone.

All day yesterday, they were under a lot of pressure, but they also gained a lot.

Many members of the Hyuga clan were imprisoned, including the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan.

Even Anbu and Genbu came to ask for someone, but they were rejected.

This refusal is naturally the use of force, and it is not possible to peacefully let them retreat without force.

After Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Canta reported to Ryuu, Ryuu let them both go to rest and then came to Konoha Prison.

Konoha has two prisons; one is managed by Anbu, and the other is managed by their guards.

"Hyuga Hiashi, is it comfortable to stay here all night?"

Ryuu first saw Hyuga Hiashi.

Hyuga Hiashi, who was closing his eyes and resting, opened his eyes. Hyuga Hiashi, who has always been more concerned about his own image, was a little embarrassed at this time.

"Uchiha Ryuu, anyone who offends the Hyuga family, the Hyuga family will not let him go."

"Haha, you still dare to speak ruthlessly like this. Do you think I dare not kill you with one knife?" Ryuu directly opened the cell and walked in.

Looking at Ryuu, who came in, Hyuga Hiashi wisely did not move.

He couldn't even beat Uchiha Cangtai, and he was no match for Uchiha Ryuu, not to mention Hyuga Hiashi was still injured.

"I don't believe you dare to kill me."

Hyuga Hiashi is calm.

He was also the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, and he didn't believe that Uchiha Ryuu dared to kill him.

"What if I killed a Renin who wanted to defect from the village? Do you think I'd be in trouble afterwards? Maybe I'd have a little trouble, but you're dead."

Ryuu smiled and looked at Hyuga Hiashi.

If you want to add a crime, Ryuu wants to add a crime to Hyuga Hiashi. It's too simple. No matter whether others believe it or not, Ryuu believes it himself.

Not many people would offend him for a dead man anyway.

"As long as I think about it, I can search your residence tomorrow to find evidence that you colluded with other villages to defect."

Hyuga Hiashi's face was ashen; facing a villain like Ryuu, he couldn't say a word.

"What do you want to do to spare the captured Hyuga?"

Although he is not willing to compromise, Hyuga Hiashi is really afraid that Uchiha Ryuu will kill all the imprisoned members of the Hyuga family.

Uchiha Ryuu is a ruthless man, as many people in Konoha Village know.

Uchiha Ryuu, who was less than fifteen years old at the beginning, gained a lot of fame in the Second Ninja World War, relying on his ruthlessness.

"It's very simple. All I want is a little money. I just want to live on a little security management fee. Your Hyuga family has a big business, so you shouldn't be able to afford it, right?"

"You made such a big fight just for the money?" Hyuga Hiashi frowned.

Offend so many people, just for money? Hyuga Hiashi is hard to believe.

"People die for wealth and birds die for food; isn't it normal?"

Of course Ryuu wouldn't say his real purpose. Money is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Ryuu wants to get the value of doing evil.

"How much is it?"

"Not much, ten million taels, no bargaining."

Ryuu said a few words with a smile.

And Hyuga Hiashi's face became distorted when he heard 10 million taels. How much do you say, 10 million taels?

In the end, Hyuga Hiashi chose to compromise. He is the patriarch of the dignified Hyuga family, who has been imprisoned here for a long time.

"Let me go back, and I'll have someone send 10 million taels over."

"Okay, I'm sure you won't be dishonest, Hiashi, but I'm going to say the ugly thing before. If the money can't be delivered, don't blame me for coming to ask for it."

After he finished speaking, Ryuu waved his hand to let Hyuga Hiashi out.

After dealing with Hyuga Hiashi, Ryuu went to deal with other people. These people have been in prison for a waste of food, and finding a way to get them to take money is what Ryuu wants to do most.

Although the amount of evil value obtained by extortion is not much, there are also one or two thousand evil values every time, and the evil value will come up when the number of people increases.

"Uchiha Ryuu, Lord Hokage wants to see you."

An Anbu ninja with a cat-face mask appeared in front of Ryuu; his tone was cold, and he spoke to Ryuu without emotion.

"Hehe, I finally can't hold my breath anymore. It's beyond my expectations to be able to endure it for two days."

After Anbu Ninja left using the Body Flicker Technique, Ryuu showed a sneer on his face.

Yesterday Ryuu was guessing whether Sarutobi Hiruzen would send someone to call him over. He didn't expect to hold back yesterday, and he couldn't sit still.

It's also normal. The new members who joined today, Ryuu told them to do what the guards did the day before yesterday, and Konoha is even more chaotic now.

Many store owners are afraid to open a store for fear of being in trouble or being arrested for any reason.

Also, the Konoha Guard is expanding, which is definitely trolling Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Originally Sarutobi Hiruzen was wary of the Uchiha family, but now Ryuu wants to expand the size of the guard. Sarutobi Hiruzen suspects Ryuu is cultivating power; how can he still sit still?

At the Hokage Building, Ryuu came here again.

Entering Sarutobi Hiruzen's office this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not smile at Ryuu but had a serious expression.

"I don't know what the Lord Hokage has to do with me?"

Ryuu asked,.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Ryuu; he would not know what he was looking for.

This time, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't intend to talk to Uchiha Ryuu about useless things.

"What happened to the Konoha Guard these two days? I heard that people were arrested in Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen unleashed his Kage-level aura towards Ryuu.
