Saving Uchiha, Starts by Flipping The Table

opportunity!

The two were at a loss for words, unable to speak. Yan continued, 

"I just sent off the envoy from the Land of Grass. They came seeking cooperation and wanted to form an alliance, which I rejected."

"The things Kusagakure Village has done to the village in the past can't be erased with just a few apologies, 

so I hope you take this task seriously and don't let me down."

"Of course." 

At this point, Yan crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. 

"If the Sarutobi and Shimura clans can't manage it, you can set the scroll down, and I'll give this task to the Uchiha and Hyuga."

"..." 

Such a low-level provocation, yet the Shimura and Sarutobi clans fell for it.

Because they have no choice but to eat!

Even if they don't want to, Yan will pry their mouths open and personally feed them.

He'll help them swallow it down, making sure it goes straight to their stomachs, simply put:

A one-step delivery to the stomach.

"Yes."

They didn't want to, but they had no choice but to comply.

Holding the scroll, the two clan Patriarchs immediately went to find the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage frowned as he looked at the scroll.

Seeing him frown and remain silent, the Shimura Patriarch grew anxious:

"Third Hokage, this kind of task doesn't seem very good. If Kusagakure Village spreads the word, it could harm our reputation in Konohagakure..."

"This is a normal family task. You should prepare for it and do it well." 

After a long silence, the Third Hokage sighed, deciding not to get involved in this matter.

Since the task had come, they should work hard to complete it. 

If they got into a conflict with Yan over this task, it was unlikely that Tsunade would help them.

Other clans execute family tasks; why can't the Shimura and Sarutobi clans?

Worried about damaging Konohagakure's reputation? 

Does Konohagakure even have a good reputation left?

You've all messed it up!

Besides, Kusagakure Village isn't an ally of Konohagakure anymore. So what if we target them? It's just collecting interest.

Just because Tsunade said not to bring up past issues, should we let the Shimura and Sarutobi clans off the hook?

That definitely won't happen with Yan.

I won't openly target you, but I will keep my eyes on you and keep making things difficult for you!

When I feel I've collected enough debt, then I'll stop!

Or when all of you from those clans disappear, then I'll let it go.

During this time, whatever dirty work needs to be done will fall on you, so don't complain.

As long as it's not an outright attack, Yan isn't afraid of the Shimura and Sarutobi clans making a fuss.

Even if it reaches Tsunade, nothing will come of it!

Tsunade might even think they're being too troublesome.

Other clans carry out tasks without a word, but you two always have to come to the Hokage office to stir things up.

You're just typical cases of having too much to digest.

Even though they know Yan doesn't have good intentions, the Shimura and Sarutobi clans had no choice but to silently accept.

They sent capable ninjas to carry out this task.

After hitting a hard wall in Konohagakure and suffering a setback, the envoy from the Land of Grass left, frustrated, returning to the Land of Grass.

What he didn't realize was that a sizable ninja team was ahead of them, heading toward Kusagakure Village.

"Did you assign a task to the Shimura and Sarutobi clans?" 

Tsunade asked curiously.

Shizune hadn't reported this to Tsunade; she only found out about it when she saw the documents Yan sent over. 

"Yeah, both of these clans have quite a few ninjas, and many are staying in the village, so I chose them. As for Kusagakure Village... I think it's time to teach them a lesson for their backstabbing." 

"Alright, that works for me." 

Tsunade didn't plan to get involved in this matter. As for Yan deliberately choosing the Shimura and Sarutobi clans, she didn't think much about it. 

Since he chose you, then just carry out the task. 

It's not like he's sending your clan members to their deaths, so why act all dramatic? 

"Why do you still look so worried?" 

The village's finances aren't as tight as before; Tsunade should be able to take a breather. 

"Don't get me started; the hole is too big, and it's impossible to fill." 

Tsunade sighed, "I'm just thinking about money, but I don't know where to get any to cover the costs." 

The village needs money, and so does Tsunade. The village's debts are huge, and hers aren't small either. 

After years of being the village's cash cow, she's made a lot of money, working hard at the Hokage office while also finding time to do surgeries at the hospital to earn some extra cash. 

Most of Tsunade's debts are paid off with that extra money. If she relied solely on her salary, the debt collectors would be in for a rough time. 

"Why don't you think of a way?" 

Tsunade looked at Yan with hope, and Yan was momentarily speechless. 

"Don't look at me like that; I can't make money out of thin air, nor can I get you a big sum of cash. Wait, there might actually be an opportunity..." 

"Tell me about it." 

Mentioning money got Tsunade's interest right away. 

Yan pointed toward the direction of Kumogakure Village: 

"I received news from a team I sent to the Land of Rain. Kumogakure Village has sent several teams into Amegakure Village. 

Also, the speed of repairs on the glass in the Raikage's office has picked up, which means Raikage's anger is building. 

This guy has a terrible temper, and Kumogakure Village has suffered significant losses without gaining anything; with his personality, he definitely won't let this slide." 

Kumogakure Village can plant spies in Konohagakure, and Konohagakure can do the same. 

Like Oonoki, Yan doesn't need the village's spies in key positions; he just needs to keep an eye on any small movements in the Raikage's office. 

Raikage has a flawed personality; he's hot-tempered and refuses to take losses quietly. 

This means that Kumogakure Village will likely be the first to take action against Amegakure Village. 

"Are you saying that Kumogakure Village can't hold back any longer?"

"Wait, what does this have to do with us making money?"

"How could it not?" 

Yan shook his finger and said:

"Raikage may have a temper, but that doesn't mean he's stupid. He knows the Akatsuki organization is tough to deal with, so he won't just charge in recklessly. He'll definitely try to get other villages to join forces. 

When that happens, we can raise our price. We're not interested in information on the Akatsuki, and we don't care about things like the Rinnegan either." 

"If they want Konohagakure to join the fight against the Akatsuki, fine, but they have to pay. No money, no deal."
