Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

Chapter 558 Our Guard Unit Only Does Practical Work

"Smack!—"

Uchiha Kagami stared at the documents that had been hurled at him, a hint of anger flashing across his usually gentle face for the first time.

"Uchiha Setsuna, what do you mean by this?"

"If the price of joining the Konoha Guard is to apologize to that flying pillar, I'd rather go work in a factory and tighten screws."

Uchiha Setsuna wore an expression of inexplicable resentment. His face alternated between pale and green, as if he were thinking of something. Faced with Uchiha Kagami's questioning, he firmly stated that he would never compromise.

"You were clearly in the wrong first, and now you're just being asked to apologize."

"Absolutely impossible!"

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Setsuna's attitude was so resolute that Uchiha Kagami was momentarily at a loss for words.

As far as he knew, Uchiha Setsuna was a very ambitious person and would not give up the opportunity to make a comeback because of a small apology.

"To know one's mistakes but not to correct them is to be stubborn and incorrigible."

Since the other party didn't cherish the opportunity he was given, he had no choice but to invoke the clan rules. Uchiha Kagami waved his hand, his face contorted with anger.

"Guards, drag him away, seal his chakra, and throw him into the dark room to reflect on his actions."

"snort!"

Uchiha Setsuna gave a cold, defiant snort, his sinister eyes showing no trace of fear.

"What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear Lord Kagami's order?"

Uchiha Ryōshi nodded to his trusted men behind him, and several of them rushed forward and tied Uchiha Setsuna up tightly.

"This is the price of refusing to admit mistakes. Anyone who wants to be like him is welcome to stand up!"

Looking at Uchiha Setsuna, who was bound like a dumpling, Uchiha Kagami nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to the group of clansmen who were now trembling with fear.

"I'll go apologize to Sister Yu right now. I shouldn't have stolen her size 45 ninja sandals."

"Wait for me, I'm coming too."

"."

As soon as Uchiha Kagami finished speaking, the clan members began to take sides, and unsurprisingly, they all chose to apologize, thereby expressing their remorse.

"Da~"

"Huh!?"

Just as everyone was racking their brains to recall the mistakes they had made, a figure slowly stepped out from the crowd, the crisp sound of footsteps instantly silencing the noisy commotion.

"Why did he step forward?"

"This guy has made more mistakes than all of us combined, so he definitely doesn't want to apologize."

"He's so resilient; I wonder how many victims he's killed."

Ignoring the chirping of the crickets around him, Uchiha Gin expressionlessly noted down the names of the loudest crickets in his notebook, intending to settle scores later.

"Uncle Yin, what do you mean by this?"

Uchiha Kagami looked at Uchiha Gin, who had suddenly stepped forward, with some doubt. Was his eccentric uncle trying to sabotage his event?

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just a little curious."

Gin Uchiha sensed Kagami's unease, gently shook his head, bent down to pick up the documents that Setsuna Uchiha had tossed on the ground, glanced at them, and then raised an eyebrow slightly.

Sure enough, this was setting a trap for the Uchiha clan.

As expected of little Tuan Tuan who inherited Tobirama Senju's Inbau, she really knows how to scheme against people.

At first glance, this so-called Konoha Security Force seems similar in nature to the previous security force, and even has slightly more power. However, upon closer inspection, some differences can be found.

Compared to the previous security teams that only had law enforcement powers, the garrison has now been given independent punitive powers, allowing them to formulate punitive clauses internally.

This is just a way to make the Uchiha clan offend everyone in the village.

"It's pretty good. If the prison hadn't been so reluctant to let me go, I would have wanted to transfer here."

Gin casually handed the document back to Kagami Uchiha, saying regretfully,

"Uncle Yin, if you join the Konoha Police Force, the captain's position will be yours for the taking."

"His virtue is not commensurate with his position; his virtue is not commensurate with his position."

Seeing Uchiha Gin humbly wave his hand, a hint of disappointment flashed in Jingzai's eyes.

If Uncle Yin were keeping them in check, these tribesmen might behave themselves a bit.

"Take him away."

With a barely perceptible sigh, Uchiha Kagami shifted his gaze to the silent Uchiha Setsuna to the side.

"etc."

"What do you want to do?"

Uchiha Setsuna slowly raised his head, looking at the curly-haired man blocking his way with a strange expression. Did the other party want to kick him while he was down?

"I've watched you grow up, kid. I can tell you've been wronged."

"you!"

Upon hearing this inexplicable remark, Uchiha Setsuna's pupils dilated dramatically. His silence was precisely because he didn't want others to reopen the old case from years ago.

If he were to encounter the old man with clear soup, wouldn't his dark history be spread throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village?

No! Don't make wild guesses.

For the sake of his reputation for the rest of his life, Uchiha Setsuna stiffened his neck and adopted a very firm attitude.

"Whether it exists or not, we can find out with a simple check."

Uchiha Gin chuckled, turning to look at the bewildered Jingzi, completely baffled by his expression.

"There's no need for that. This is an old case, and it would be very difficult to investigate."

"Investigating the truth is the mission of the Konoha Police Force."

Gin Uchiha reached out and patted the tense-faced Setsuna Uchiha, then continued,

"The truth will out, and falsehood will become truth. If you have truly been wronged, I will definitely clear your name."

Thank you so much!

Uchiha Setsuna felt a surge of anxiety. If the truth were to come out, he would become a laughingstock among the villagers.

"I don't need it!"

"you need to!"

Gin Uchiha pressed down the agitated Setsuna Uchiha and said earnestly,

"As an Uchiha with lofty ambitions, are you really going to be intimidated by such a tiny difficulty?"

"but."

"No buts. It's not just your case. We'll go through all the cases that the investigation team has uncovered. This is a test for our Uchiha clan from the village."

Uchiha Gin turned around, looked at his clansmen who were exchanging bewildered glances, and said loudly.

"Since the Hokage entrusted us with the criminal case files, he was actually testing whether we have a spirit of seeking truth, which is related to the establishment of the Konoha Police Force."

After a series of nonsensical remarks, everyone, including Uchiha Kagami, was actually convinced by Uchiha Gin's words.

"So that's how it is; those case files were a test for us!"

Uchiha Kagami frowned and pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up. No wonder Hiruzen suddenly gave him these files; it turned out he had planned this all along. It was a pity he hadn't realized the secret sooner.

"That's right!"

Nodding solemnly, Uchiha Gin took the crime file that Uchiha Setsuna had just taken from his arms.

"don't want!"

Seeing the case of harassing women placed at the top, Uchiha Setsuna's heart tightened.

"Do you really want to carry the reputation of flirting with a 400-pound girl with a tiny appetite for the rest of your life?"

Uchiha Gin's voice was like a bolt from the blue; his nightmarish whispers plunged Uchiha Setsuna into deep thought.

It was such a difficult decision. He desperately wanted to clear his name, but the hidden truth was far more unacceptable than the injustice itself.

"Don't run away now!"

I desperately want to escape, but I can't.

"Uchiha Setsuna, you're unwilling to apologize, and you're unwilling to reinvestigate this case. Is there something you're hiding?"

Uchiha Kagami frowned slightly. Uchiha Setsuna's expression was indeed strange, quite unlike his personality. Could there really be another hidden story behind the case?

"Go ahead and investigate if you want."

Now that things have come to this, Uchiha Setsuna knows that a reinvestigation is inevitable, and even if he is extremely unwilling, Uchiha Kagami will thoroughly investigate the case.

"This is all for the sake of the clan. Whether the Konoha Police Force can fire the first shot depends on everyone's performance."

Since the decision had already been made to reopen all the old cases unearthed by the inspection teams, Uchiha Kagami decided to go all the way and immediately begin selecting suitable personnel.

Before long, several clansmen skilled in criminal investigation were selected from among the group, and the case files were handed to them.

"I'm giving you a week. I want to see the real truth."

"Mission accomplished!"

"Don't just investigate the Uchiha's old cases, remember to thoroughly investigate the other clans as well, to see if there are any wrongful convictions."

Seeing the energetic makeshift criminal investigation team, Uchiha Gin suddenly spoke up to remind them.

"We need to treat everyone fairly!"

"yes!"

The hastily formed criminal investigation team immediately began its work, categorizing cases according to their severity and quickly identifying the key cases.

The case of Uchiha Setsuna harassing women is one of them.

"Lord Setsuna, please forgive me."

The group nodded to Uchiha Setsuna, whose face was tense, then turned and left, leaving our friend, whose eyes were gloomy, standing alone in place.

"It's over. My reputation is ruined."

His own case simply couldn't stand scrutiny; every detail was full of loopholes. Uchiha Setsuna had only been reluctant to reopen the case because of pride.

"Look at that kid, he's so excited he's crying. I knew it, he must have been wronged, there must be some unspeakable reason behind it."

Uchiha Gin, feigning ignorance, pointed with an air of seriousness at the tearful Uchiha Setsuna.

"Uncle Yin, thank you. If you hadn't reminded me, I would never have guessed Hiruzen's intentions."

Seeing Jingzi's grateful face, Uchiha Gin waved his hand slightly, feigning annoyance, and said...

"Why have you become so polite now that you've become the Party Secretary? Are you treating me like an outsider?"

"No, how could I dare?"

No one would go against the gold brick in the red envelope.

"Jingzai, whether the security force can make a name for itself depends on this. You need to keep a close eye on it and try to get to the bottom of every case."

"I see."

Uncle Yin really put in a lot of effort. He went to great lengths for the honor of the family, which made the village secretary, who had never accomplished anything of substance, feel ashamed.

Soon after, news of the establishment of the new department, the Konoha Police Force, spread like wildfire, and an announcement was posted shortly afterward.

The villagers looked at the list of members in the announcement, their minds filled with questions.

"Is this the Konoha Police Force or the Uchiha Police Force?"

The entire list of members was surprisingly empty, consisting entirely of Uchiha members who had been removed from the inspection team. This inevitably raises questions about the authority of this department.

The villagers, filled with doubt, whispered among themselves beneath the notice. Suddenly, someone shouted something.

"Have you heard? As soon as the security force was established, they started investigating old cases from previous years, and they've reportedly already overturned several major cases."

"Huh? Really?"

"My aunt's brother's classmate's daughter's sister-in-law's pet's former owner's summoning beast's third-person contractor's uncle, he lives near the Uchiha clan's territory and knows everything about the current situation of the Uchiha clan."

"That would be very authoritative."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, their curiosity about the newly established department growing even stronger.

In the Hokage's office,

"Tsk!"

"Tsk tsk!"

"Danzo, could you please stop smacking your lips? It's making me uncomfortable."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was reviewing documents, was driven to the brink of madness by the strange noises coming from Danzo nearby. He wanted nothing more than to immediately unleash a cage-and-fire technique on Danzo.

"Hiruzen, something's happened."

Danzo, who had finally stopped smacking his lips, frowned deeply.

"The Uchiha are actually doing serious business."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Do you think the Uchiha clan can only go down the evil path?"

Seeing Danzo's overreaction, Hiruzen Sarutobi curled his lip, his gaze falling on the empty secretary's throne beside him. He now had something much more to worry about.

Uchiha Kagami has gone to the front lines.

After the security force was officially established, he led a group of elite ninjas away from Konoha and headed to the border between the Fire and Earth kingdoms.

A major conflict occurred there not long ago, resulting in significant casualties.

"I don't know if they're going astray, but I do know we're in trouble."

Danzo shook his head gravely and handed over the still-warm intelligence report.

"When the security forces were investigating the case, they actually found out that we had been up to no good before."

"Wow! Tsk!"

Staring blankly at the intelligence report in his hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been stunned for a long time, couldn't help but click his tongue in disapproval.

"Why are they investigating in such detail?"

It turned out that, thanks to the tireless efforts of the security team, they finally helped all the members of the Ninja Alliance who had been investigated to be exonerated. These members who had been dismissed from their posts were all innocent.

"Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

Uchiha Ryuzaki, who was temporarily appointed as the captain of the security team by Uchiha Kagami who was away, looked at the files placed in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"No, something's wrong!"

After a brief moment of surprise, Uchiha Lucha realized what was happening, a strange look appearing in his eyes. It seemed that their Uchiha clan had fallen into a trap set by someone.

"That's really a painstaking effort."

To avoid making the investigation seem too targeted, those guys actually sent out so many sacrificial lambs.

"Since that's the case, don't blame us for being impolite."

the next day,

A report from the Konoha Police Force lay on the Hokage's desk. Picking up the somewhat unappealing document, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a vague sense of foreboding.

"ha?"

As expected, upon seeing the report, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead.

"What is it? Let me see it."

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's suddenly worried expression, Danzo, unable to contain his curiosity, asked,

"Stop looking, they're here to sue you." (End of Chapter)
