"What are your orders, sir?"
The servants then appeared.
Hizashi asked, "Have any outsiders visited the main family recently?"
He thought further ahead: within the Hyuga clan, the branch family would never betray the main family.
Those who can initiate a division of the family must be members of the main family who hold a higher position than themselves.
The Hyuga family is relatively closed off, so if there are visitors, they will definitely not be able to keep it a secret.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, no one has come to visit."
The servant hesitated for a moment: "However, a few days ago, the Fourth Elder, Lord Haidou, went out."
The servant waved for the servants to leave.
It really was Haidou. Was he acting alone, or...?
After thinking for a moment, Hizashi returned to his desk, quickly wrote a letter, and handed it to Yuto.
He instructed, "Yasuto, you must personally deliver this letter to Chief Fugaku."
"Remember, you must hand it to him personally."
Hizashi always remembered Kawasaki Uchiha's life-saving grace, and his attitude towards the Uchiha was the same as Hiashi's.
However, as the head of the main family, Hiashi was often subject to the control of the elders.
It's best not to let your elder brother know about this, otherwise it might cause unnecessary trouble.
Yongren knew the situation was serious, so he took the letter and set off immediately.
.....
Within the Uchiha territory.
Fugaku opened and read the letter from the shinashi.
He said to Yuto, "Thank you for your hard work. Please reply to the daily report and tell him that I understand."
Yongren successfully completed the messenger mission and breathed a sigh of relief.
He always felt that a great storm was engulfing the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.
However, as an ordinary member of the branch family, 857's ability to serve Lord Hizashi was already the best he could do.
.....
After Hayato left, Fugaku immediately summoned the fourth elder, Yohei, and handed him Hizashi's letter.
"When the clan chief and the deputy clan chief Kawasaki left, it seemed that they had foreseen this scene."
Yangping stroked his beard.
Fugaku sighed, "Kawasaki is truly a visionary. He made a contingency plan in advance. The person in charge of the guard unit will definitely be Hizashi from the branch family. If someone from the main family has any ulterior motives, they will definitely not be able to get around Hizashi."
"I called you here to find out how the evacuation plan is progressing."
Fugaku asked.
Elder Yangping nodded: "Don't worry, clan leader. I took precautions during the construction of the clan's territory. That secret passage was already quietly built long ago."
"Where are the transport vehicles?"
"Clan leader, after Yunyin paid compensation last time, we started to accelerate production after we built the prototype vehicle. We now have ten vehicles, which is enough for repeated use."
Fugaku clapped his hands: "Good, time waits for no one, let's gather the clansmen tonight and carry out the evacuation plan."
"Yes, Chieftain!"
.....
Konoha's Eighth Street remains bustling.
The shops here are often open until 10 p.m., and the night market is especially lively.
The local residents are used to coming out at night to find food.
But tonight, when they stepped out of their homes, they found that just after eight o'clock, all the Uchiha shops were already closed.
This made everyone's hearts tighten.
Why did the Uchiha clan close down again? There are no Root members left in the security forces.
Inside each Uchiha shop, employees and owners were busy packing equipment and raw materials.
After packing, they were all stored in the storage scroll.
These scrolls were distributed uniformly within the clan to facilitate the rapid transfer of property.
Many regular customers, seeing the lights still on inside, couldn't help but go up and ask why the store was closing early.
The Uchiha shop owner responded that they needed to conduct training and develop new dishes today, so they closed early and would resume normal business tomorrow.
The customers left in frustration.
The Uchiha clan members were extremely busy.
Meanwhile, the Hyuga clan members who were spying on them were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
They witnessed the Uchiha packing supplies. What were they planning to do?
We haven't learned the complete production method yet.
Daisuke and Kaisaki hurriedly reported what they had seen to Kaito.
Haidou paced back and forth. Since his leg injury recovered, his favorite thing to do was to take walks, and he would rather stand than sit.
Why is the Uchiha packing their bags? Are they giving up such a lucrative deal?
Hai Dou had no way to interfere and could only wait and see.
"Continue to monitor the situation and report any new developments immediately."
Daisuke and Kaisaki continued to observe secretly with sidelong glances.
As night fell, all the Uchiha clan members packed their belongings into storage scrolls and tied them to their bodies.
From the outside, they seemed to be leaving the shop and returning to the Uchiha territory as usual.
.....
The eighth district of Konoha Village.
As dawn broke, the first rays of sunlight shone down.
An uproar broke out within the security force.
All members of the Uchiha Police Force unanimously submitted their resignations and ceased all public appearances.
Although Hizashi was unaware of Fugaku's full plan, the fact remained that the entire Uchiha Guard was absent.
Hizashi had to reorganize the team to fill the gaps left by the Uchiha members, and after assigning tasks, they began patrolling.
Unexpectedly, the Hyuga family was in the Eighth Street.
As soon as they began their patrol, they discovered that all the Uchiha clan's shops were locked up, even during business hours.
Upon entering, the store was completely deserted; everything, from ingredients to utensils, had vanished without a trace.
The patrolmen quickly reported the situation to Hizashi, who was extremely puzzled by Fugaku's actions.
How could such a profitable store be closed down so easily?
.....
These messages soon reached the ears of the Third Hokage.
The Hokage received the message, looking completely bewildered.
What's going on? The Uchiha clan isn't making money anymore?
The Hokage immediately sent someone to the Uchiha clan to inquire.
Why do the Uchiha clan members no longer open shops?
It was discovered that members of the Uchiha clan were already active outside, distributing leaflets in the Eighth District.
The Hokage's subordinate brought back a flyer.
The flyer was concise, stating that the Uchiha clan's restaurants in the Eighth District were scattered.
The clan chief has decided to build a food street.
Therefore, all Chinese food shops will be relocated to streets specially built outside the Uchiha territory.
Those who wish to continue enjoying the food can go to the north gate of the village, where a shuttle bus will pick them up.
Caught off guard, the Hokage hurriedly dispatched Kakashi to investigate.
The North Gate is located next to the Eighth Street, which was once the site of the Uchiha clan.
When the Uchiha clan relocated, the ground in the area had been completely renovated with high-quality materials.
Ten vehicles were neatly lined up, just like the sightseeing vehicles Kawasaki had seen before he left.
Each vehicle can carry 25 people. Once full, the Uchiha driver injects chakra, and the vehicle starts immediately.
Upon getting into the car, Kakashi took a closer look and noticed the two Uchiha men driving it.
Isn't that the security guard who was patrolling Eighth Street earlier?
Was this all premeditated?
The vehicle sped along and arrived at its destination in just a few minutes.
Kakashi got off the bus with the other curious villagers.
The buses line up after coming to a stop, and return when they are full, or depart when new passengers arrive, forming a cycle.
Kakashi ventured deeper into the territory and saw that the Uchiha had built an entire street on the edge of their land.
Because it was close to the Uchiha camp, it went unnoticed by the people of Konoha for a long time!
The houses on both sides of the street are exactly the same. If people from Earth were here, they would definitely recognize that these are all prefabricated houses.
The walls are made of neatly arranged stones and mud, which is both clean and beautiful.
