Back in the Village, Izumi, bored, was strolling alone.
"Hmm?" Izumi suddenly heard a commotion.
Izumi looked over and saw that the Uchiha Police Force and a vendor were arguing again, and a Ninja from the Uchiha Clan was taking a Villager away.
However, the Villager's family was crying continuously, drawing the sympathy of passersby, who began to surround and accuse the Uchiha Police Force.
"You guys, we are enforcing the law, and you dare to obstruct law enforcement, how audacious!"
"Then arrest all of us! Is this rough enforcement your Uchiha style?"
"Yeah, you could have just taken him away, why did you smash his stall?"
"Don't throw dirty water on us, it was knocked over by himself."
"Pah, I think you guys knocked it over, everyone, am I right?"
"Right!"
"You guys!" The Ninja of the Uchiha Police Force glared at them angrily.
"Ah, what? Are you going to lay hands on us?"
"Everyone, come and see, they're going to lay hands on us!"
The agitated crowd surrounded the Police Force, making it impossible for the Uchiha Ninja to do anything.
"Move aside!" The Ninja of the Uchiha Police Force pushed away the surrounding crowd, preparing to take the suspect away.
At this moment, someone shouted, "The Uchiha Police Force is hitting people! The Ninja of the Uchiha Clan is hitting people!"
"Nonsense, who said that!" The Uchiha Ninja shouted angrily, "Who! Who is slandering us!"
Seeing this, the onlookers immediately surrounded them, accusing them one after another.
Izumi looked suspiciously at the few people who were always fanning the flames, and seeing them leave, Izumi also followed curiously.
At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku also arrived, Izumi glanced at him, thinking he would handle these matters, so she followed behind those few civilians.
Izumi saw that those people had returned home, so she stopped tracking them, but instead memorized them.
Izumi said with a smile, "Let's try the Ninjutsu I created on you guys."
Izumi secretly sprinkled ink on these people, and the ink quickly changed color, adhering to their bodies.
This new Ninjutsu, created by Izumi herself, was based on Gaara's Ninjutsu that allowed him to observe from a distance. It involved arranging ink filled with Ninjutsu formulas and talismans on the enemy's body, allowing her to understand their actions by recovering the ink.
Finally, Izumi discovered that they were always receiving money at an irregular time and place, so Izumi told Uchiha Fugaku about it.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku immediately said, "You did very well. The other party is slandering us like this and always receiving money. It's very likely they are spies sent by other Ninja Villages to observe us."
Uchiha Fugaku said to Izumi, "If we catch the spy, we will reward you."
"Yes!" Izumi left with a smile.
Days later, one daytime, a person in black was spotted in an alley by several Ninja of the Uchiha Clan. They used their Sharingan to discover that this person was merely a clone, and a black clone made of Chakra at that.
They called for the Ninja of the Inuzuka clan to help them search.
With the help of the Inuzuka clan, they finally found a masked Ninja.
The few of them quickly engaged in combat.
The masked Ninja pulled out a brush and continuously drew various creatures to fight the Uchiha Ninja, but being outnumbered, he was quickly defeated. Just as everyone was about to capture him, he was rescued by an enemy.
This Ninja still escaped, and none of them could catch up, and his scent also disappeared.
The Ninja of the Inuzuka clan said, "This guy is very familiar with Konoha, and he had help escaping. We need to report this to Hokage-sama."
The Ninja of the Uchiha Clan were furious that they couldn't catch the person and let him escape.
Izumi, however, was very happy: "I was just thinking about how to cover up the matter of the ink Ninjutsu, and a perfect reason just presented itself."
They could only report this matter to the Hokage.
In the Hokage Office, Hiruzen Sarutobi said angrily, "Hmph, Fugaku, you didn't tell me about such a big matter and acted on your own. This time, you alerted the enemy, and it will be difficult to catch him later!"
Uchiha Fugaku bowed his head and said, "Yes, we were indeed a bit negligent in this matter, but the other party repeatedly damaged the reputation of the Uchiha Clan and incited discord between us and the Villagers, which is truly hateful. It's difficult for me, as the clan leader, to suppress their desire to clear their name, and I indeed didn't handle it well."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and said, "Hmm, alright, I'm aware of this matter and will handle it. You must remember, the Uchiha Clan will always be Konoha's Uchiha Clan. We won't make things difficult for you. This matter is settled, you may leave."
"Yes." Uchiha Fugaku left with a stern face.
After Uchiha Fugaku left, the Third Hokage glanced behind him and said, "Danzo needs to be reined in. This matter has gone too far. Call him to see me."
"Yes!" A voice echoed in the office, then silence returned.
The next day, Izumi came to Uchiha Fugaku's home. Uchiha Mikoto's eyes lit up, and she led her into the house.
Seeing that Uchiha Itachi was not present, Izumi breathed a sigh of relief.
Uchiha Fugaku knew why she had come, so he said with a smile, "You did very well, but the other party was well-prepared, so the Hokage took over this matter. Therefore, you have made a great contribution. What do you want? Ninjutsu? Weapons? Or medicinal herbs, anything is fine."
Izumi immediately said, "Clan Leader-sama, I want Ninjutsu or Ninjutsu formulas related to Sealing Technique or talismans. I really like these, but there are very few people who are proficient in them. I want to learn these things!"
"Oh?" Uchiha Fugaku said with a smile, "Is that so? Indeed, very few people are willing to learn these things, and talent is even more important. But since you want to learn, then I will give you these to study."
He led Izumi into a room filled with countless scrolls, an entire room full.
He said to Izumi, "Our clan has a very long history, so there are many such Ninjutsu. I'll give you these first; they are all secret Ninjutsu that ordinary Ninja cannot access. Some of these talismans have also lost their creation methods. If you are interested, you can try to restore them; perhaps you can restore them in the future. Remember to work hard for the revitalization of the Uchiha Clan."
"Yes! I will study hard and promote the name of the Uchiha Clan!"
"Alright, you can choose four scrolls related to Sealing Technique and talismans. An ordinary Jonin can only look at five."
"Yes! Thank you, Clan Leader-sama!" Izumi immediately went to the scrolls and began to choose.
However, while choosing, Izumi used Divine Ink Chakra to copy all of them.
Even other Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and so on were copied.
Izumi finally picked a few scrolls and began to read them there.
She read very carefully, because she was processing those vast Ninjutsu formulas.
