Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Refusal
Inside the Uchiha clan's territory, Uchiha Ryosuke had just returned home and hadn't even warmed his seat when he received a report from his clansmen.
The Root members actually wanted to take away his captive—the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, Nii Yugito. His expression instantly changed.
'How bold.' This was his tool for having children.
Without hesitation, he walked toward the main gate of the clan's territory.
Outside the main gate, several masked Root members were confronting a few Uchiha clansmen.
Now that the Uchiha clan had returned victorious, they weren't afraid of the Root members at all.
It wasn't long before the Root members saw a young man walking out.
One of them couldn't help but ask, "Is this the person you said has the authority to make decisions?"
They knew about the Uchiha clan leader, Fugaku. For such a major matter, shouldn't Uchiha Fugaku be the one to come forward?
What the Root members didn't expect was that this Uchiha clansman proudly said, "Of course, this is the person who can make decisions."
Others might not know who contributed the most in this war, but how could the Uchiha clan not know?
The reason they were able to defeat the army of Kumogakure was entirely due to Ryosuke's overwhelming power.
Now, their respect for Ryosuke even surpassed that of their clan leader, Fugaku.
Moreover, the two Kumogakure captives were personally requested by Ryosuke and were being held at his house. They had already been sealed with the Uchiha clan's sealing techniques and could no longer use chakra—they were now just like ordinary people.
Seeing them say this, the Root members didn't argue further. When the young man approached the gate, they immediately said, "By the order of Advisor Elder Danzo-sama, the Uchiha clan must hand over the Two-Tails Jinchūriki to Root for custody. Now, hand her over."
Upon hearing this, Ryosuke directly refused. "Go back and tell your Danzo—he has no chance of getting the Two-Tails Jinchūriki."
The faces of the Root members changed drastically. He actually refused Danzo-sama's order, and his attitude was so arrogant.
One of the Root members spoke angrily, "You dare to disobey the Advisor Elder's order? The Uchiha clan is truly bold. Are you planning to betray the village?"
Uchiha Ryosuke, however, was dismissive and asked in return, "I think it's you Root members who are bold—trying to pin the crime of betrayal on the Uchiha clan."
"Who gave you the courage to issue orders to the greatest noble clan in Konoha—no, the greatest noble clan in the entire ninja world? Just a mere Konoha village Advisor Elder?"
At that moment, not only were the Root members stunned, but even the Uchiha clansmen were shocked.
He treated the Advisor Elder as if he were nothing. This was the true dominance of the Uchiha clan. Their clan had been suppressed by the village for too long.
Now, seeing Ryosuke act so strong, they felt incredibly satisfied.
The Root members soon came to their senses.
"This is outrageous! Not only are you disregarding Danzo-sama's order…"
"You even dare to show such contempt toward Danzo-sama. I now have ample reason to suspect that the Uchiha clan has treasonous intentions. You must come with us to Root for proper questioning."
Uchiha Ryosuke couldn't help but laugh in anger. Trying to arrest someone inside the Uchiha clan's territory? He didn't even consider these lowly Root ninjas worthy of his own action. If he had to personally deal with every minor annoyance, wouldn't he be exhausted?
He then said to the clansmen behind him, "The Root members are already trying to act unruly within our Uchiha territory. How long do you plan to stand by and watch?"
The Uchiha clansmen immediately reacted.
One by one, they were furious—these people dared to arrest someone within the Uchiha clan's own land? Did they not put the Uchiha clan in their eyes at all?
One after another, they revealed their Sharingan—some with three tomoe, some with two.
Their eyes glowed crimson, exuding a predatory aura as they locked onto the Root members like hunters eyeing their prey.
If these Root members dared to make a move, they would not hesitate to retaliate.
In terms of combat strength, they were not afraid of the Root ninjas at all.
Feeling the piercing gazes of the Uchiha Sharingan, the Root members felt immense pressure.
One of them gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, "Are you really planning to betray the village?"
Uchiha Ryosuke sneered, "What arrogance. Not obeying Root means betrayal?"
"Do you not know that Konoha was founded by my Uchiha clan and the Senju clan? Betraying the village would mean we are betraying our own creation. You Root members are truly laughable."
The Root members were left speechless by his words. They couldn't find any way to refute him.
The older Root member among them took a deep look at Uchiha Ryosuke. It was this man who had rallied the Uchiha clan into resistance.
"I will report this matter truthfully to Danzo-sama."
Then, they left.
They had no intention of fighting here. Though they were used to acting tyrannically, they understood where they were. If they attacked now and hundreds of Uchiha ninja charged out, they would be the ones to suffer.
This was something only Danzo-sama could handle.
The rest of the Uchiha clansmen looked at Ryosuke with reverence.
His complete lack of courtesy toward the Root members showcased the true dominance of the Uchiha clan.
At this moment, Uchiha Ryosuke also realized that news of the Two-Tails Jinchūriki had already leaked.
Of course, he wasn't worried. He had never planned to keep it a secret—such information was bound to spread eventually.
To prevent others from repeatedly trying to claim the Two-Tails Jinchūriki and making him deal with them every time, he said to the guards at the Uchiha clan's gate, "In the future, if anyone comes asking for the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, drive them away. Don't bother coming to ask me. Understood?"
One of the Uchiha guards asked, "What if the Hokage sends someone?"
After all, even though the Two-Tails Jinchūriki was their captive, such an important figure couldn't go unnoticed by the Hokage.
And in the village, the Hokage held the highest authority.
Ryosuke didn't hesitate to say, "If it's him, drive him away too. That's it. Understood?"
The Uchiha guards were a little shocked.
Refusing Danzo had been satisfying. But refusing the Third Hokage? That was unexpected.
Wouldn't that mean their Uchiha clan was directly above the Hokage?
They felt a surge of excitement.
"Understood!"
Leaving the clan's gate, Ryosuke directly took Mabui to the bathroom.
The anger that had built up over the past few days needed to be properly vented.
As his captive, he had no reason to hesitate in using Mabui.
Moreover, Mabui was a jonin—completing the "Many Children, Many Blessings" system should grant him great rewards.
Seeing that he had taken her to such a place, Mabui's expression darkened.
'What was he planning to do?'
Was he thinking of doing that to her? In the ninja world, captured female ninja with good looks were often subjected to mistreatment.
Mabui was very confident in her appearance and figure. Could it be that this guy had such thoughts about her?
That would be terrible.
This was the Uchiha clan's stronghold, and her chakra was sealed. She couldn't even escape.
She didn't want to experience such humiliation, nor did she want her body to be toyed with. She couldn't help but plead,
"I've already cooperated and verified the letter's contents. The Fourth Raikage will pay my ransom. Please let me go."
But Ryosuke only smiled and said, "The ransom hasn't arrived yet. And even if it did, do you think I would let you go so easily?"
He reached out his hands toward her.
Mabui's face turned pale as she instinctively backed away, trying to evade his grasp.
