My name is Uchiha Touhuan, and I beat the villagers so badly they cried out in pain.

After reporting his work to the Hokage, Uchiha Touhuan's days became unusually peaceful.

The recruitment of civilian ninjas by the Security Department went relatively smoothly. After news spread that Uchiha Touhuan had angrily rebuked the two advisors at the entrance of the Security Department that day, the civilian ninjas' impression of the Uchiha clan changed. Upon hearing that the current Uchiha clan was led by Uchiha Touhuan, who had previously promoted the "smiling law enforcement" approach, they all put aside their concerns and came to apply for the job.

There were even several fresh graduates from the Ninja Academy who hadn't been assigned a supervising teacher and came directly to the door wanting to get a position in the Security Department.

In less than a week, the Security Department completed the task assigned by Uchiha Tohkan to double the number of recruits.

Meanwhile, after Uchiha Tohkan implemented the "smiling enforcement" policy throughout the entire police force,

Uchiha Tohkan himself, under the arrangement of the clan, moved into a luxurious mansion in the heart of the clan. After moving into his new home, Uchiha Tohkan immediately set up an archery range in the courtyard.

With some free time, Uchiha Touhuan's daily routine consisted of drinking tea, taking a stroll around the security headquarters, writing down evidence of Danzo's crimes so that the Shimura clan members in the interrogation room could put their fingerprints on it, and then going back to drink tea and practice archery.

One afternoon, Uchiha Touhuan returned from the security department as usual, changed out of his ninja vest, put on a haori, and practiced archery in the courtyard.

Uchiha Touken held his breath and focused intently, and his two arrows hit the bullseye in quick succession.

At that moment, Uchiha Keiko, the butler assigned to Uchiha Touhuan by the clan, entered the courtyard: "Clan head, Hatake Kakashi has come to visit."

"Please let him in," Uchiha Touhuan said without turning his head.

"Yes."

Shortly after Uchiha Keiko left, Kakashi followed her into the courtyard. After leading Kakashi to the back, she tactfully withdrew and closed the gate leading to the backyard.

"The Hokage has ordered that the operation to capture the rogue ninja Orochimaru will officially commence the day after tomorrow," Kakashi announced.

Uchiha Touhuan didn't speak, but focused intently on the target in front of him. After holding his breath and concentrating, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, hitting the bullseye once again.

Seeing this, Kakashi said nothing more, but found a pillar in the yard to lean against, and took out his beloved "Icha Icha Paradise" from his pocket.

For a moment, the only sound in the courtyard was the whooshing of arrows piercing the air.

After emptying a quiver of arrows, Uchiha Touhuan paused and said, "I'm sorry, this is all I can do for now regarding Sakumo-senpai's matter."

"Regarding this matter," Kakashi said, putting down his book and speaking seriously, "Thank you, that's enough."

In the past few days, a study campaign on the Will of Fire has suddenly been launched in the village. During this campaign, his father, Hatake Sakumo, has been repeatedly mentioned as a positive example of a hero with the Will of Fire. Some of the children in the village have only just learned that there was such a heroic ninja in the village back then.

"Want to give it a try?" Uchiha Touhuan smiled and handed the longbow in his hand to Kakashi.

"Bow and arrow? I'm not good at that," Kakashi refused. "Besides, a ninja is more suited to using a shuriken."

"A shuriken?" Upon hearing this, Uchiha Touhuan swiped his right hand across his ninja tool pouch at his waist, and four black phantoms shot out instantly. After colliding with each other in the air, they each struck the center of a target fifty paces away from the two of them at an incredible angle.

"The Uchiha clan's shuriken throwing technique is truly exquisite," Kakashi praised.

"Nothing special, just practice makes perfect." Uchiha Touhuan wiped his hands and picked up the longbow again. "Kakashi, actually, whether it's a bow or a shuriken, they were both created as weapons to kill."

Uchiha Tohkan fired another arrow, hitting the bullseye. "However, I still prefer the bow and arrow."

Kakashi looked puzzled. Shouldn't bows and arrows be weapons that only outdated samurai would use? If convenience and speed were the priority, shuriken would be the best choice for ninjas.

"While shuriken are convenient, less than one-tenth of them can be recovered after use. Even if they are made of the finest iron, they are only slightly easier to use. However, bows are different. As long as the bow is not damaged, arrows can be replenished at any time."

"And where the arrow goes is always determined by the bow."

With a whooshing sound, another arrow hit the bullseye. This time, Uchiha Touhuan used chakra to shatter the shuriken that had been pinned to the bullseye.

After listening to Uchiha Touhuan's words, Kakashi seemed to be deep in thought.

"How about it, Kakashi? Want to give it a try?" Uchiha Touhuan turned to look at Kakashi and asked.

"Then... let's give it a try." Kakashi pondered for a moment and then nodded.

"Sister Huizi, bring Captain Kakashi a new bow." Uchiha Touhuan called out loudly towards the courtyard gate.

Before long, Uchiha Keiko, the female steward assigned to Uchiha Touhuan by the clan, entered the courtyard carrying a longbow and presented it with both hands.

Kakashi took the longbow and examined it carefully, but it still felt somewhat unfamiliar.

Although the Hatake family was transformed from a samurai family, from his father's generation onwards, apart from swordsmanship as their main means of combat, they were already considered pure ninjas in other aspects. He had never touched a bow and arrow.

Kakashi nocked an arrow, somewhat awkwardly drew back the bow, and aimed at the target fifty paces away.

"Straighten your body, use your spirit and energy to connect the arrow with the target. Before the arrow is released, let your intention precede it." Uchiha Touhuan's voice rang in Kakashi's ears. Following Uchiha Touhuan's instructions, Kakashi awkwardly adjusted his posture and aimed at the bullseye fifty paces away.

Kakashi remained in that position, but did not shoot the arrow for a long time.

"Kakashi, calm down." Uchiha Touhuan noticed Kakashi's problem and calmly reminded him.

Kakashi took a deep breath to calm his slightly agitated mind, and then shot an arrow.

After the arrow shot out, Kakashi kept a close eye on the arrow as it flew forward.

It was Kakashi's first time shooting an arrow, and as soon as the arrow was released, he realized that it had missed, and a hint of regret appeared on his face.

But just then, the sound of a bowstring piercing the wind rang in my ears.

Kakashi turned his head and saw Uchiha Touhuan beside him, the bowstring of his longbow still vibrating slightly.

Looking up at the sky, another arrow, launched later, arrived first and collided with the arrow Kakashi had shot in mid-air. Even more incredibly, after colliding with each other, the two arrows flew straight toward the target.

With two muffled thuds, the two arrows struck the bullseye one after the other.

Kakashi looked at Uchiha Touhuan in surprise, only to see a meaningful smile from him.
