Under the continuous drizzle, within a courtyard of the Uchiha clan's territory, the dim street lights illuminated the night. Opposing forces stood face to face.
Confronted by Sarutobi Hiruzen's counterattack, Uchiha Yoru took a deep breath. His opponent was formidable, and he was also giving his all.
"Lord Hokage's words make sense, but with the current turmoil in the ninja world, many enemies have become too audacious. Thinking Konoha is weak and vulnerable, they not only cause trouble within the Land of Fire's borders but even infiltrate the village, and are secretly monitoring the Uchiha clan!"
"Disgrace! A great humiliation!" Uchiha Yoru, filled with anger, looked around at his clan members and shouted, "The Uchiha clan, responsible for Konoha's security as part of the Police Force, being monitored by enemy ninjas is a slap in the face! This is a great humiliation for our clan."
"As a prominent clan protecting Konoha's peace and also in charge of the Police Force, from today onwards, we must shoulder the responsibility of protecting the village, especially the major families of Konoha. It was the Uchiha and Senju clans who jointly attracted these families to join in the past due to our promise of stability and security."
"Therefore! Starting now, the Police Force must ensure the safety of all major Konoha families! Always be on guard, but also be mindful not to interfere in the internal affairs of these families."
Uchiha Yoru seized the opportunity in the rainy gloom to loudly chastise all Uchiha members, his eyes filled with furious anger as if venting something.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen knew well that this Uchiha clan head, who had activated the Mangekyo Sharingan, no longer feared him in terms of power. His firm actions were a response to being monitored.
After scolding all his family members, Uchiha Yoru turned to look at the Third Hokage. His angry expression instantly vanished, replaced by a respectful demeanor.
"Lord Hokage, do you have any further instructions for the Police Force?"
Regarding the Uchiha clan head's rapid change of demeanor, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, showed a rare, insincere smile.
"Excellent, Orochimaru will be pleased to see you. You truly are 'better than the blue from which you came', surpassing even Orochimaru."
His implication was clear: you are even more dangerous than Orochimaru. Uchiha Yoru, however, pretended not to understand and turned to look at the confused Aburame Torune.
"Someone came here, the Aburame clan is a close ally of our Uchiha clan. Quickly take this child away. From today, let this child form a team with Yoru, and also become my disciple."
Shameless!
This was the collective sentiment of all the members from the Ino-Shika-Cho clans present. They found it difficult to handle such a situation with a child, fearing the Uchiha clan's reputation for bullying the young. But they didn't expect Uchiha Yoru to be so shameless.
Directly taking the child as his disciple and also arranging him to be with Uchiha Yoru, was his way of publicly stating his trust that the child wasn't responsible, while also implicating the Aburame clan.
"Then, Uchiha clan head, you must take good care of this child."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked deeply at the young boy. From now on, he no longer regarded him as just a youth, but placed him on an equal footing for consideration.
In the text, Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Choza, who were carrying the stretcher behind, revealed a sorrowful expression. At this moment, the heavy stretcher in their hands seemed to become an insignificant existence.
Yamanaka Inoichi's death was completely disregarded, without receiving the attention it deserved.
"Uchiha Clan head, Yamanaka Inoichi's wife also followed in death. Are you satisfied with this?"
For the first time, Nara Shikaku acted impulsively, not relying on his calm mind, but letting out a question from the anger in his heart.
Faced with Nara Shikaku's question, Uchiha Yoru calmly walked past the Third Hokage, approached the stretcher, and calmly uncovered the white cloth, revealing the lifeless face of Yamanaka Inoichi.
At this moment, Uchiha Yoru, with a sorrowful expression, sighed to the sky in front of everyone, "Yamanaka Inoichi was not killed by the Uchiha, but died because of them, much like the incident with Hatake Sakumo."
Hearing this, Nara Shikaku immediately regained his calmness, his icy gaze fixed on the other party, and a chill rose in his heart, realizing that the Uchiha clan was determined to confront the higher-ups of Konoha.
Otherwise, they wouldn't repeatedly bring up the Hatake Sakumo incident, clearly accusing them, despite it being their own actions that led to the death of their own people, yet trying to smear others.
Previously, the Uchiha clan wanted to ease relations, but now they seemed ready for a harder approach, refusing to speak nicely and determined to fight for their rights.
However, faced with the hateful glances of the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka clans, Uchiha Yoru sneered internally. Though he didn't look back at the Third Hokage, he was well aware of the latter's thoughts.
Thinking they were just minor nuisances relying on their status in the Hokage's lineage, with the Third Hokage's indulgence, it was clear they wanted to put the Uchiha in a bad light.
Were the Uchiha afraid of offending people? Their initial intention was to forge good relationships with other major clans, but the others were either too afraid or just watched from the sidelines. After all, the Uchiha were not in a strong position.
So, was the Uchiha afraid of offending people?
With this thought, Uchiha Yoru ignored the Nara and Akimichi clans and walked towards the leading ninja of the Yamanaka clan, sighing in melancholy, "Are you the new head of the Yamanaka clan?"
Although it was a question, it carried a tone of certainty. The Yamanaka Jonin, having never faced such a situation, felt inwardly nervous but still managed to reply with a bowed head, "I am Yamanaka Inoichi's cousin."
"So it is, brother dies, cousin rises."
The elder brother died, and the capable cousin took over everything. Despite a sorrowful expression, such a sarcastic remark was made, but no one dared to say anything. Even many in the Uchiha clan murmured that the clan head might be going too far.
However, the next moment, an even more outrageous action shocked everyone.
Uchiha Yoru calmly patted the new Yamanaka clan head on the shoulder and said softly, "I heard Yamanaka Inoichi's only daughter, now of the age to start chakra training, lost her parents due to the Uchiha's fault. From today onwards, the Uchiha clan is willing to take care of her, to appease our guilt."
Hearing this, Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Choza were about to refute when they looked up and saw Uchiha Yoru's cold Sharingan eyes fixed on them.
Threat!
This was not a negotiation, but a threat!
Faced with such a threat, the new Yamanaka clan head felt more fear than frustration. The Uchiha, we're all madmen! Madmen!
"Cough, Inoichi's daughter seems to have just reached the age to begin chakra training."
At this moment, the Third Hokage turned around, facing Uchiha Yoru's intimidating Sharingan but spoke calmly. The implication was to assure the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka clans that Yamanaka Inoichi's daughter was not of significant value and there was no risk of family secrets being leaked.
At the same time, it is also mocking the Uchiha clan for bullying a child. However, Uchiha Yoru is not to be outdone, shaking his head and sighing in retort.
"The big clan's tradition of brothers succeeding each other after death is not something ordinary people can understand. I just want to protect innocent children."
In a single sentence, he questions the worth of the Sarutobi clan. Even the Ino-Shika-Chō (Pig-Deer-Butterfly) are at least a secret technique clan. In terms of clan hierarchy, bloodline clans are at the top, secret technique clans are in the middle, and at the very bottom are clans like yours, without any bloodline or secret techniques.
In the major clans, there are dramatic events. This child is the descendant left by the former clan leader and is a threat to the current clan leader.
Similarly, this statement also reflects his current stance. If someone else had said it, it might be different, but coming from him, it indirectly tells everyone that he would never lay hands on the child of the clan leader. He behaves and sits upright.
However, the Third Hokage is sneering in his heart. Of course, you're not afraid, with your Mangekyo Sharingan, how could you fear two children.
"The Yamanaka clan thanks Uchiha Clan Head for his concern."
The new head of the Yamanaka clan, though timid, speaks up. If he really backed down, he might have to be replaced upon returning.
But because of today's words, he must protect the former clan head's child, otherwise, it will only give opportunists a chance.
At this moment, he hasn't thought about dealing with a child.
This confrontation is just between the Third Hokage and the Uchiha clan, and the Ino-Shika-Chō are just people of the Third Hokage.
After the confrontation, both sides were evenly matched, and no one gained an advantage, but Uchiha Yoru got everything he wanted.
That is dignity and the status he deserves!
The Uchiha were always ostracized, and they chose to endure. But after he took over, he chose to bare his fangs.
The Uchiha clan, no longer enduring in silence, naturally sought different treatment.
Like not allowing anyone to surveil them, not letting anyone run wild over the Uchiha, and whoever dares to do so must be prepared to face the backlash of the strongest clan.
All the past endurance and concessions are disregarded, allowing the Uchiha clan to stand tall again, though they haven't regained all their former rights, like those before the Nine-Tails' attack.
But Uchiha Yoru has lifted the clan's head, returning to the previous mindset. "The Uchiha are not wrong. Whoever dares to create chaos, I will deal with them."
"Konoha cannot have turmoil. Tomorrow, I want to see the Police Force operating as usual."
Before leaving, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, issued an ultimatum in a commanding tone, and Uchiha Yoru also achieved his goal, naturally not letting anyone catch him breaking the rules.
"Don't worry, Lord Hokage. From now on, Konoha will welcome a new and stronger Police Force."
Uchiha Yoru, not showing any fear, solemnly and loudly stated.
The Uchiha, standing tall, will naturally become stronger and grow, only by making the village increasingly wary will they not act rashly.
…
After a brief rain, everything that happened yesterday in Konoha seemed like a dream. In the morning, the villagers woke up somewhat confused, looking at the police department resuming patrols as if nothing had happened.
However, a notice posted in the Hokage's building made it clear: the police department, feeling a lack of strength, needed to recruit more powerful ninjas to ensure the village's safety and prevent incidents like those involving Sarutobi Shinzo, Fire Temple, and Uchiha Fugaku from happening again.
This made everyone realize that yesterday's events were real.
The stares on the streets, once filled with dissatisfaction towards the Uchiha, were now hidden, with people only daring to curse in secret, no longer showing their disdain openly.
The Uchiha clan seemed different now.
Inside the Hokage's office, the bright sunlight shone through the window, and the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was back to his calm self, wisely reviewing various reports.
He ordered Nara Shikaku to replace Kakashi on the front lines and for Kakashi to return to Konoha.
He also commanded increased support for the borders and a strong response to any provocation, even from the Hidden Cloud Village.
The Third Hokage ordered the Anbu to take over the investigation of Fire Temple, and to thoroughly check any group of rogue ninjas larger than a squad (17 people) within the Land of Fire's territory.
With these orders, Konoha's war machine was in motion.
He needed Kakashi to return and continue his undercover work near Uchiha Yoru, as Yoru and the Uchiha clan were now beyond his control.
The funeral of Uchiha Fugaku the day before seemed uneventful, but the situation in Konoha had changed.
The new head of the Uchiha clan had activated the Mangekyō Sharingan, uniting the clan with a strong leadership. He also established alliances with the Hyuga (Branch Family) and the Aburame clan.
Following this, the police department openly began recruiting more ninjas, citing the need to protect Konoha.
The Third Hokage, having gauged the full extent of the Uchiha's capabilities, temporarily stabilized the situation in Konoha. The most pressing need now was to stabilize the borders and handle the affairs of the Daimyo's estate.
At the police department headquarters, Uchiha Yoru, confident and commanding, issued his directives as the new head.
He ordered the continued recruitment of elite ninjas, unconcerned about possible spies. He emphasized that as long as they worked during their shifts and completed their tasks, that was enough.
He assigned new leaders for the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth squads and established an elite unit at the headquarters to protect clan families and elders.
With these orders, Yoru significantly restructured the police department, and all the squad captains showed excitement and eagerness for the new changes.
