Chapter 51: As expected, the evil Uchiha!

Two days later.

The three of them, with one cart of supplies, finally found a boat and arrived at the front-line camp on the evening of the third day.

Uchiha Jin and Nara Kazama were casually assigned to a tent.

The two asked for a stretcher, carried Ishikawa Shu on it, and after sending him to the medical camp, they finally arrived at their tent.

"Are you sure that story of yours can fool them?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Uchiha Jin spoke in a low voice: "After all, two full carts of supplies were lost; are you sure they won't hold us accountable?"

"Don't worry, it's fine." Nara Kazama laughed: "This kind of thing is very common; everyone does it this way."

"So far, there haven't been any problems. Even if they don't find someone to take the blame, at most it's just a reprimand, which only has a slight impact on future promotions."

"Especially in wartime like this, it's basically all about making up for one's crimes with meritorious service, so it doesn't even affect promotions."

"We've even found someone to take the blame this time, so there's no need to dwell on this."

"Believe me, it's nothing."

"There won't even be a reprimand!"

"It's just two carts of supplies; for a war, what kind of big deal is that?"

"Truly ruthless people dare to directly empty the front-line camp's reserve warehouse, then wait for the enemy to attack, deliberately destroy the warehouse, and then report directly to the village that it was the enemy's doing."

"This thing is called war damage!"

"The supplies stored in the front-line camp's warehouse usually have a total value of no less than five billion ryo."

Hiss!

Uchiha Jin was dumbfounded.

He had already tried his best to underestimate the integrity of these people, but he didn't expect that he had still overestimated it.

Good fellow!

This operation was too familiar.

It's just that he still couldn't figure out why he hadn't heard about this aspect since he transmigrated here for so long.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speak.

"This isn't right!"

"I'm at least from the Uchiha clan, which counts as a prestigious family in our Konoha."

"How come I've never heard of this kind of operation?"

Hearing this, the look in Nara Kazama's eyes when he looked at Uchiha Jin was immediately filled with an inexplicable flavor.

He frowned slightly.

Obviously.

He really hadn't figured out how to explain this to him for a moment.

Seeing this.

Uchiha Jin spoke directly.

"We've both experienced slaughter together, and now we're teammates in the same squad."

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Nara Kazama looked slightly helpless.

But after pondering for a moment, he still said helplessly: "You already said the reason yourself, because you are an Uchiha."

Hearing this, there was no need to say more.

He suddenly realized.

Yes.

Uchiha Jin truly understood!

He knew better than anyone what the Uchiha were like.

Brainless, stubborn, and dead-set on pride.

Things like these on the battlefield are basically unspoken rules among the Konoha high-ups.

Everyone does it!

Whether it's the major prestigious families, even the Sarutobi clan often does it.

And, they take the lion's share.

As for the logic, it's also quite simple.

These supplies belong to the village and are allocated by the Daimyo every year.

Gone?

It doesn't matter!

Just ask the Daimyo for more.

Thinking about it, it's probably because of this logic that the Uchiha and the village seem so incompatible.

Yes.

If the Uchiha knew about this, they would definitely disdain to be complicit and would instead blow the matter up directly to prove the Uchiha's honor.

The Uchiha are proud.

And it is precisely because of this pride that they are destined never to be able to pee into the same pot as other Konoha families for the rest of their lives.

In his past life, he had always been a bit puzzled.

Although there were many troublemakers in the Uchiha, there was no need for Sarutobi Hiruzen to exterminate the clan, right?

Although the Uchiha had a radical faction, did they really have the ability to overthrow the Third Hokage's rule with the brains of that bunch?

Simply a joke!

Not to mention that many ninja clans were neutral, and the Ino-Shika-Cho belonged to the Hokage faction.

As long as the Uchiha rebelled, even the three, including Tsunade, would definitely stand on Sarutobi Hiruzen's side.

There were also the Hokage's Anbu and Danzo's Root; perhaps even the Uchiha moderates, and even Fugaku, the clan head, would choose to support Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Since that's the case, why exterminate the clan?

Wouldn't it be better to keep the Uchiha?

Even if they encountered a war, sending them to the front line to die would be fine!

In his past life, he had always thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen was brain-damaged, a typical case of having something wrong with his head.

Now, he understood.

The core reason was a difference in philosophy.

Everything else was nonsense, just some surface appearances.

No wonder the Uchiha couldn't become Hokage.

If an Uchiha really became Hokage, could everyone still happily embezzle the village's assets?

Thinking of this, he gave a bitter laugh.

"Fine, no need to say more."

"I finally thoroughly understand why the Uchiha can't be Hokage and why they are targeted by everyone."

"Senju Tobirama was right; they really are the evil Uchiha!" ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
