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

An investigation by the Konoha Police Force revealed that the Konoha Inspection Division, during its "look back" inspections, engaged in numerous acts of favoritism, abuse of power, dereliction of duty, rent-seeking, bribery, and waste of village assets and resources—all of which constituted crimes and violated the law.

"What the hell did they get all these words from?"

Taking the document from Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand, Danzo glanced at it only a few times before his puzzled expression instantly turned incredibly grim. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his nose almost twisted with rage.

"Look at you! I told you so many times to be careful, how come they still found out about your oversight?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's brows were furrowed, and he was puffing loudly on the pipe between his teeth, clearly showing that he was also in a very agitated mood.

"Who knows what's wrong with them, that they can't even let go of such trivial matters."

Danzo coldly put down the documents, his eyes filled with resentment.

"As expected of the Uchiha, who were born evil."

The report submitted by the Konoha Police Force reviewed all the cases investigated and classified by his inspection team, uncovering a large number of wrongful convictions.

Of course, most of these wrongful convictions came from members of the Ninja Clan Alliance, with the Uchiha clan accounting for only a small portion.

At the time, Danzo and his companion deliberately sacrificed some members of the Shinobi Alliance to avoid arousing suspicion during the interrogation of the Uchiha clan. They framed them with minor and minor crimes to confuse the situation.

Unexpectedly, they ended up shooting themselves in the foot, and the bait they had thrown out became evidence of the Uchiha clan's false accusations.

"Hiruzen, this is not my fault, they are just too cunning."

"Alright, now is not the time to shift the blame."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head. Since the Konoha Police Force had already submitted their report, it meant they knew that the inspection team's so-called "look back" was an unfair act specifically targeting them.

Fortunately, in their report they only emphasized that the inspection team had problems, rather than directly blaming the higher-ups, which shows that the Uchiha clan did not want to escalate or complicate the matter.

"Danzo, I'm afraid your inspection team won't last much longer."

The Uchiha clan's intentions were clear: they wanted the Inspection Brigade, whose functions highly overlapped with those of the police force, to disappear. To quell the unrest, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to sacrifice his close friend.

Danzo was stunned by what he heard, looking at his close friend, who seemed somewhat unfamiliar to him, with disbelief in his eyes.

"What do you mean? I just painstakingly built up this department, and you're telling me to disband it like that?"

He had long since returned the Anbu members that the other party had lent him back then to Hiruzen Sarutobi. Now, the members of this inspection team were all recruited from the Shinobi Alliance with great effort. He was originally preparing to make great strides, but now he was told that he would perish halfway through.

Not knowing how to face his best friend Hiruzen Sarutobi, he silently turned away, leaving the other with a cold, unapproachable back view.

"Danzo, I am the Hokage."

"You'll regret this!"

Bang! ——

"well"

Hearing the door slam shut, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed helplessly. He knew it was dishonest, but the Uchiha clan was not someone they could easily manipulate.

Uchiha Izuna was just out, not dead.

Not to mention there are a few entities they dare not provoke.

He had initially thought that this well-justified "look back" would weaken the Uchiha's influence without harming their interests, and the final result seemed to have been successful.

The Uchiha members scattered across various departments of the village were all brought together into the Konoha Police Force, which Danzo planned to establish, to facilitate his future management.

However, the Uchiha clan's "work ethic" surprised Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Just a few days later, under the guise of investigating the truth, they exposed all the underhanded tactics of Danzo's inspection team, forcing him to sacrifice his pawns to save his king.

If he continues to play dumb and try to smooth things over, not only will it be difficult to explain to Kagami, but no one can guarantee what extreme things the strong-willed and stubborn Uchiha clan might do.

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you, Danzo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed inwardly, deciding to let the storm of this incident pass and allocate funds to Danzo so he could rebuild a new department.

However, next time, it can't be done openly like the inspection team.

Soon after, a notice quietly appeared on the Konoha bulletin board, attracting villagers to stop and read it.

"My goodness, the inspection team that was so active not long ago has actually committed so many illegal and irregular acts."

The villagers couldn't help but marvel at the series of charges presented by the inspection team.

"With so many wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice, they're definitely going to be disbanded. See, I wasn't wrong, was I?"

One villager pointed to the final punishment decision and said with great seriousness,

"Serves him right. That captain talks big and arrogant, and he has a huge ass. He's obviously not a good person."

"That's right, that's right."

At this moment, the Konoha Police Force

The temporary leader, Uchiha Ryōzashi, sat in the captain's seat, silently flipping through the notice that Hiruzen Sarutobi had just sent. After a while, he looked up, a satisfied smile appearing on his aged face.

"Hmph! You really think that just because Lord Izuna isn't home, you can do whatever you want with the Uchiha clan?"

With a strong sense of the bigger picture, Uchiha Roza did not choose to break ties with the Konoha leadership in this matter.

On one hand, there was the concern about Uchiha Kagami being caught in the middle; on the other hand, there were considerations for the stability of the village.

Moreover, although they suffered unfair treatment in this incident, the outcome was positive.

The Uchiha clan finally had a powerful department of its own, and its members were all from the Uchiha clan, which brought unprecedented unity to the hearts of the people who had been scattered over the years.

dong dong dong-

"Come in."

"Reporting to the Elder, we have investigated and clarified the truth behind the case of Uchiha Setsuna harassing women."

The person who pushed open the door was a member of the Konoha Police Force's Criminal Investigation Team. He held a document in his hand, but his expression was somewhat strange.

"When you're in the security force, you have to call me Captain."

Uchiha Lucha had a serious expression on his face. He had to be very particular about titles, and he had to use the appropriate titles for each place.

"Yes, Captain!"

Nodding in satisfaction, Uchiha Lucha, though somewhat curious about the strange expression on the face of the squad member in front of him, still reached out and took the documents handed to him, confidently beginning to review them.

"Oh, this."

After a long while, the expression on his face went through a complex process, from seriousness to speechlessness, then to surprise, and finally only deep sympathy remained.

Are you sure this is the truth?

With a strange expression on his face, just like that of a member of a criminal investigation team, Uchiha Lucha asked again, "..."

"I swear on my lower body's sexual happiness, this is absolutely the truth that Uchiha Setsuna's harassment of women has been hidden for many years."

The professionalism of the criminal investigation team was beyond question. The members worked day and night, starting with the tavern called "A Midsummer Night's Dream" where the incident occurred. They interviewed villagers who had witnessed the crime scene, retrieved the police dispatch records from that day, and examined the physical evidence left at the scene.

Through their meticulous investigation, they finally pieced together the missing fragments, revealing the truth of the events of that year.

Uchiha Setsuna, who is written as a prisoner but read as a victim, is actually the one who was harassed and even violated.

"I never expected this, sigh. Notify the solitary confinement room and bring Uchiha Setsuna over."

Shaking his head with a complicated expression, Uchiha Ryōza sighed and ordered his men to bring Uchiha Setsuna, who was locked in a small dark room, to the office.

"Crunch~"

A short while later, Uchiha Setsuna, exuding an aura of dejection, was summoned over. Uchiha Ryōzashi, seeing the other's stubble-covered,颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, dejection, and a sense of being worn down) expression, felt a pang of unease.

"Greetings, Grand Elder."

Uchiha Setsuna nodded slightly to Uchiha Ryōza.

"Setsuna, is there anything you'd like to say?"

I have nothing to say.

Faced with Uchiha Ryōza's question, the heartbroken Uchiha Setsuna calmly shook his head. Now, he had nothing left but his manly dignity.

"Hey, take a look at this."

After hesitating for a moment, Uchiha Ryuzaki handed over the truth that the criminal investigation team had uncovered to Uchiha Setsuna.

"This is... ugh! It's fake! Everything on here is fake!"

He took the document expressionlessly, then lowered his eyelids in confusion for a moment, his expression turning to horror the instant his eyes met the words.

"Put me back in! Put me back in!"

Feeling the pity in Uchiha Ryōza's eyes, Uchiha Setsuna's face turned ashen, and he slumped weakly to the ground, mechanically muttering...

"well"

Based on Uchiha Shana's reaction, Uchiha Ryōzachi confirmed the accuracy of the truth, and his expression of sympathy deepened.

"In an instant, we must always look forward and let bygones be bygones."

After carefully choosing his words, Uchiha Ryōza gently comforted him, saying that even if Uchiha Setsuna was usually disliked, he was still the son of his former superior.

He couldn't ignore the tragic experience the other party had gone through.

"Ughhhhh!"

After a brief silence, Uchiha Setsuna, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly burst into tears, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing that the grievances that had been building up deep in his heart for many years had finally seen the light of day, this eagle-like man finally let out a torrent of relief, letting out all the tears he had swallowed.

A man's vulnerability comes and goes quickly. About ten minutes later, Uchiha Setsuna, his eyes bloodshot, slowly stood up. Uchiha Ryōzai, seeing this, raised his hand to greet him.

"Sit down and rest for a while."

Rising to his feet, he personally brewed a cup of tea for the grieving Uchiha Setsuna. Uchiha Ryōshiki sat opposite him, his face displaying the benevolent expression characteristic of an elder.

"I'm sorry you've suffered all these years."

"This is all my own fault. I shouldn't have been so blinded by lust and gone to meet people in person."

Holding the warm teacup, Uchiha Setsuna's icy heart found a sliver of comfort, and when the topic was brought up again, he no longer showed the resistance he had before.

"Indeed, it's hard for any man to talk about something like this. I understand how you felt at the time."

No, you simply don't understand the suffocating feeling of being pressed down by a 400-pound, bird-eating fairy.

Uchiha Setsuna didn't reply. He lowered his head, looking at the tea leaves slowly rising in the teacup, and said in a melancholy tone,

"Everyone says that good things will happen if you do this, but it has never worked for me."

"Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent. This is the current situation of Matsuko Akimichi."

Looking at the man before him, who seemed to have seen through the world's illusions, Uchiha Lucha's eyes were filled with complex emotions as he took out a piece of paper and pushed it towards him. This was a summary of the investigation into Akimichi Matsuko's recent situation, which was included in the documents submitted by the criminal investigation team.

"Severe obesity, severe depression, and severe mental disorders"

After a quick glance, Uchiha realized that this was a high-risk medical record; each of the patient's symptoms was enough to ruin a person's life.

"Is she going to die?"

Averting his gaze, Uchiha Setsuna suddenly asked,

"You really want her dead?"

Uchiha Lucha raised an eyebrow, asking with some curiosity,

"So she really is going to die, huh?"

Shaking his head regretfully, Uchiha Setsuna gave a slightly bitter smile.

It seems I won't get a chance for revenge, nor will I get an apology.

Before Akimichi Matsuko hurt him, he had also loved the girl who wrote him letters, but that feeling vanished as the lies she had fabricated were exposed.

"That might disappoint you."

Sensing the sadness that Uchiha Setsuna inadvertently revealed, Uchiha Ryōzai pulled out another brand-new medical record.

"ha?"

Taking the new medical record with a puzzled look, Uchiha Setsatsu blinked in disbelief.

"What kind of miracle doctor can cure so many difficult and complicated diseases?"

The new medical record clearly states that the patient is in good health, his weight is within the standard range for the Akimichi clan, and his mental state is good.

"Never mind that, but I have some bad news for you."

Subtly glossing over the detail of a renowned physician's house call, Uchiha Ryōzai abruptly changed the subject. Upon hearing the words "bad news," Uchiha Setsatsu immediately sat up straight.

"She suffered amnesia during treatment. According to the doctor's examination, her memory regressed to the day before the incident seven years ago."

"ha!"

Uchiha Setsuna was taken aback upon hearing this, and the expression on his face became quite interesting.

"Hmph! That big flying pillar got off easy!"

After a long pause, Uchiha Setsuna, recovering from the shock of the news, slammed his fist on the table, nearly spilling the water from his teacup.

"How can this be repaired!"

"It seems you've recovered your spirits."

Looking at the man before him, who had shed his dejected demeanor, Uchiha Ryōzachi smiled and nodded. This was the Uchiha Setsuna he knew.

"Are you interested in working in the new department? But you'll have to start from the bottom."

Now that the truth has been revealed and Uchiha Setsuna's innocence has been cleared, he is qualified to join the Konoha Police Force. However, given his eccentric personality, Uchiha Ryōzashi intends to slowly temper his character.

Where do we sign the contract?

A few days later, Uchiha Setsuna, dressed in the uniform of the security force, sat down at his new workstation. Looking at the brand-new environment around him, he secretly vowed to take back everything he had lost!

Just as he was preparing to say goodbye to the past and start a new life, a colleague walked in from outside, waving a pink envelope in his hand, his eyes gleaming with a mocking smile.

"Uchiha Setsuna, there's a letter from you. It smells nice. Could it be a love letter?" (End of Chapter)
