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

After Kakashi left, Uchiha Touhuan picked up the scroll detailing the mission to capture Orochimaru.

On the security front, the Third Hokage clearly intended to let Uchiha Touhuan decide who would participate in the mission. As the other party to carry out the mission together, the Anbu, in addition to Kakashi leading the team, also sent three Jonin.

Of these three Jonin, one was from the Utatane clan, another from the Inuzuka clan, and the last was a commoner ninja without any clan affiliation.

In addition, there are four special Jonin, including Hayate Gekko and Yugao Uzuki, two rising stars known for their Konoha-style swordsmanship. As for the other two, one is from the Mitokado clan and the other is a commoner with no background.

In addition, for reconnaissance purposes, two members of the Hyuga clan's branch family, who were of considerable strength, were recruited.

After considering for a moment, Uchiha Touhuan called out to the door, "Keiko-nee, go and tell Inahisa and Zaito that we'll be on a mission together the day after tomorrow."

As the first members of the clan to openly follow Uchiha Touhuan, Uchiha Inahisa and Uchiha Zaito were naturally favored by Uchiha Touhuan.

Although this operation was dangerous, as it involved facing a renowned and powerful figure like Orochimaru, Uchiha Touhuan had no intention of fighting Orochimaru to the death this time.

Uchiha Touhuan formed hand seals, and after a flash of smoke, a ninja hawk flew out of the smoke and landed on Uchiha Touhuan's shoulder, gently rubbing its cheek against Uchiha Touhuan's cheek. The ninja hawk's eyes flashed with a special red light.

Uchiha Touhuan formed a series of hand seals, inscribing a special technique inside the Ninja Hawk's body, and then gently patted the Ninja Hawk's head.

uh~

After a loud cry, the eagle on Uchiha Touhuan's shoulder flapped its wings and soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

……

The next day, after working two extra nights, Fugaku Uchiha finally assigned tasks to the newly joined civilian ninjas. Starting tomorrow, these newcomers will be able to begin their work. To celebrate, Fugaku Uchiha held a small induction ceremony and invited Touhuan Uchiha to attend.

The large conference room of the security department was now full of people, including the original 227 Uchiha clan ninjas of the security team, plus 254 newly recruited civilian ninjas.

When Uchiha Touhuan and Uchiha Fugaku entered the conference room together, they glanced at the situation inside. It was clear that the Uchiha clan's bias still lingered in the eyes of these commoner ninjas. Although they had mustered up the courage to join the Security Department, they still chose to sit separately from the Uchiha clan ninjas at this formal occasion. The middle row of seats in the conference room, which could barely accommodate everyone, remained empty, becoming the dividing line between the two sides.

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Touhuan couldn't help but shake his head. The task of improving the image of the Uchiha clan was still a long and arduous one.

After the induction ceremony began, although Fugaku Uchiha was still the captain of the security department, he knew how much Uchiha Touhuan valued this event and knew that he could not steal Uchiha Touhuan's thunder at this time. So, after the ceremony started, he simply said a few words and then handed the venue over to Uchiha Touhuan on the grounds that his work was not yet finished.

Uchiha Touhuan stepped onto the podium, scanned the crowd below, and then slowly began to speak:

"First of all, on behalf of the original 227 ninjas of the Security Department, I welcome all of you newcomers to the Security Department. I believe that with your addition, under the leadership of the Will of Fire, the village's Security Department will have a completely new look."

Uchiha Inahisa led the applause from below, and the applause from the audience gradually grew louder.

After the applause subsided, Uchiha Touhuan continued:

"I imagine that you all chose to join the Security Force because you have confidence in the Security Force and the Uchiha clan. Since we will all be colleagues in the future, I think there's no need for us to be so formal." Uchiha Touhuan said with a warm smile, glancing at Uchiha Inahisa and Uchiha Zaito below the stage.

At this moment, however, the two did not seem to understand Uchiha Touhuan's intentions, and simply looked back at Uchiha Touhuan on the stage with their clear eyes.

Uchiha Touhuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly at this; their clan did indeed have some issues with emotional intelligence.

Fortunately, Uchiha Shisui, who had been sitting in the corner, was the first to stand up and walk over to the other group of newcomers, inviting them to sit down.

Seeing this, Uchiha Inahisa and Uchiha Zaito understood what Uchiha Touhuan's gaze on the stage meant, and the two of them also took action.

Inspired by them, some young people in the tribe also joined in.

After a brief period of chaos, the meeting room was no longer clearly divided, and the original Uchiha ninjas from the security department sat together with the newly arrived civilian ninjas.

Upon witnessing this scene, Uchiha Touhuan on the stage clapped his hands lightly, and the conference room erupted in enthusiastic applause once again.

"Then, let's work together to make our village even better in the future!" After Uchiha Touhuan finished speaking, applause rang out once again.

"Next, let's talk about the compensation you're all concerned about." After the applause subsided, Uchiha Touhuan smiled and said, "Captain Fugaku and I have taken into account the average income of the village's ninjas and the village's cost of living, and have temporarily set your salaries at 80,000 ryo per month. The salaries of the veteran members who previously worked in the security department will also increase by 20% on top of the amount originally paid by the clan."

As soon as Uchiha Touhuan finished speaking, the civilian ninjas below immediately showed expressions of disbelief.

It's important to understand that they were previously mostly genin who made a living through village missions. The average commission for a genin's D-rank mission was about 10,000 ryo, but after accounting for the village's cut and the rule that the team leader would take half and the rest would be split equally, they could only earn about 1,000 ryo for completing a D-rank mission. They could only complete a maximum of about 20 missions a month, earning about 20,000 to 30,000 ryo. After deducting their daily expenses, they could still save a little money to exchange for ninjutsu.

The rumors they heard indicated that the security department's salaries were paid according to the level of D-rank missions, which they originally thought was about the same. What really attracted them here was ninjutsu.

But unexpectedly, the salary level for D-level missions mentioned by the security department did not include the village's commission and distribution rules!

As for the original Uchiha clan members, they were also overjoyed. The original salary of the Security Department was about the same level, and now it has been increased by 20%!

Seeing the atmosphere below the stage become more heated, Uchiha Touhuan smiled and added fuel to the fire.

"In addition, considering that the garrison headquarters is quite far from the village, and your commute to work may be inconvenient, a monthly transportation allowance of 6000 taels will be provided to everyone."

The civilian ninjas below couldn't sit still any longer. What else?

"Furthermore, this is just me using my authority a little. In order to improve everyone's strength and enable them to better perform their future work, the ninjutsu that was originally scheduled to be distributed after a month of work will be distributed immediately after the meeting."

As soon as Uchiha Touhuan finished speaking, the atmosphere below the stage began to get a little out of control.

At that moment, Uchiha Inahikasa suddenly stood up and shouted, "Salute to Vice-Captain Toh-hwan! Loyalty!"

"Loyalty! Sincerity!" Everyone present stood up and raised their right hands.

"For Konoha, loyalty!" Uchiha Touhuan raised his right hand in return.
