Konoha Prison.
The Police Force is responsible for the security and public order of Konoha, and the three major prisons in the village are all under the supervision of the Uchiha Clan.
Outside the ordinary prison cells, two Uchiha Clan elites were on guard, vigilantly surveying the surroundings. Not only here, but even outside the prison, there were people on watch, ready to send a signal at the slightest sign of trouble.
Inside a bright and clean room, no one would have expected there to be such a place beneath the prison. The strong smell of disinfectant filled the air, and the Operating Room was bustling with activity.
Outside the Operating Room, Uchiha Night squinted his eyes, holding a leaf between his fingers and continuously practicing Chakra Nature Transformation. At his feet lay countless leaves, charred and partially turned to ash from the electricity.
"Big Brother Night."
Uchiha Shisui, who had just brought a prisoner into the room, walked out. However, the moment Shisui stepped out, he was instantly pinned against the wall, causing him to grunt in pain.
With one hand gripping his collar, Shisui faced this attack with only a slight contraction of his pupils. It was so fast! But he did not retaliate.
Uchiha Night, with his hands tightly gripping Shisui's collar, lifted him up, his eyes filled with the spinning tomoe, exuding an overwhelming aura.
"Uchiha Shisui! What's going on with the prisoner for today's surgery? Didn't I say we only need those who deserve to die?"
Shisui, despite the discomfort in his chest, looked at Uchiha Night with a guilty expression and said in a hoarse voice, "Big Brother Night, there aren't enough prisoners in the prison, and the only matching kidney source is him."
The force on his chest gradually eased, allowing Shisui to breathe normally. Uchiha Night frowned, "There are three major prisons in the village. Can't we find a suitable one?"
"Big Brother Night, the most heinous prisoners in the prison are either participating in human experiments or have had their organs removed. There aren't enough people, and recently, there are more people being watched in the village."
As he said this, Uchiha Shisui's face showed a deep sense of fatigue. "Big Brother Night, the clan's territory is being watched by the Anbu."
When he said this, Shisui's eyes reflected three parts of helplessness, four parts of frustration, and the remaining three parts were anger.
Just then, the light in the Operating Room suddenly turned on, and the door opened. Uchiha Night and Shisui walked in as if nothing had happened.
"Hehe, thank you, Lord Night. Otherwise, I don't know when my waist would recover."
A middle-aged Inuzuka Clan ninja, supporting his bandaged waist, smiled with a flattering expression. Uchiha Night, seeing this, smiled and nodded.
"Not at all, Lord Inuzuka Isamu. You are a hero of Konoha, having served the village for many years and even injuring your waist for it. We are all doing this for Konoha."
Hearing such formal words, Inuzuka Isamu's smile grew wider, and he waved his hand. "Hehe, it's all for Konoha, for the village."
Although the Uchiha Clan is now isolated, the Seventh Division of the Police Force is different. It represents Orochimaru and is involved in the clandestine organ trade, which is highly sought after by the major clans.
"Lord, here is the prepared medication. Just take it on time, and check for rejection once a month for the first six months, then once every three months after that."
A medical ninja wearing a mask walked out and handed over the prepared medication with a smile. Inuzuka Isamu, who had just undergone surgery and appeared weak, immediately smiled upon hearing this.
"Thank you, it's really too much trouble for you."
With a seasoned demeanor, Inuzuka Isamu was escorted out of the prison through a secret passage by the medical ninja, leaving only four people in the Operating Room.
The person who performed the surgery removed his mask, revealing a gentle smile. It was Kabuto Yakushi, who now bowed respectfully and reported, "Lord Inuzuka Isamu's two kidneys have been completely replaced, and the prisoner has been given the failing kidneys. After such a major surgery, he probably won't last more than two months."
The other person performing the surgery, judging by his eyes, was from the Hyuga Clan.
On another bed, a prisoner in a prison uniform was unconscious, unaware that his kidneys had been removed during his unconsciousness.
Uchiha Night, listening to Kabuto's report, nodded solemnly. "Do it more discreetly. When this prisoner dies, make it look like he died of natural causes."
"Yes, Lord."
After leaving the prison, Uchiha Night stood in the sunlight, but in Shisui's eyes, he seemed to be in the darkness.
"Shisui, from now on, the organ trade within the prison will be handled by the Hyuga Clan. The Uchiha Clan will only focus on security and being ready to retreat at any time."
"Yes, Big Brother Night," Shisui replied respectfully. Since the Night of the Nine-Tails last year, he had experienced too much in less than a year, especially things that had completely changed his worldview.
In the village prison, the number of prisoners mysteriously dying of illness over the past two months seemed to have increased, but this did not raise much concern. However, the number of seriously ill prisoners had increased significantly.
Abusing power, many of the prisoners in the prison are serious criminals who cannot be released for several decades. Anyone serving more than fifteen years is almost on the list.
In the village, many ninjas from the major clans have recurring old injuries or organ damage leading to critical conditions. The recent clandestine trade has solved their urgent needs.
No one wants to die, and no one wants to suffer with a critically ill body day by day. Especially after reaching their peak, ninjas fear death. Prisoners can be matched with them, and if a match is successful, they can exchange organs, even perform organ transplants.
All of this is based on the technology developed by Orochimaru, which allows almost perfect organ transplants.
"Shisui, if we don't do this for Lord Orochimaru, Root and the Anbu will do it privately. The difference is that our technology and supply are better."
Kurenai Yuhi, a chunin-level medical ninja, can perform transplant surgeries in such a tense battlefield, which shows the level of Konoha's medical ninjutsu, especially in organ transplants.
Ninjas, who frequently carry out combat missions, inevitably suffer injuries, and organ transplants are often necessary to save lives. The difference is that the village must consider the impact and can only perform such procedures in secret, using mostly death row inmates or foreign spies.
However, they have more extensive means, given the large number of prisoners in the village's prisons, which would otherwise be wasted.
More importantly, only a ninja's organs can be transplanted into another ninja. Ordinary people's organs would cause rejection.
Uchiha Shisui, having experienced too much darkness, nodded. After all, using prisoners is better than taking lives indiscriminately. "Big Brother Night, I understand."
"No, you don't understand. Do you know why Orochimaru wants the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan to work together on this in secret?"
At this moment, Uchiha Night again looked like he was shouldering a heavy burden. There was no choice; Shisui's potential was undeniable. Ignoring the opportunity and letting Shisui lean towards the Hokage would be ridiculous.
