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

The next day, when Inuzuka Kaze arrived at the security headquarters with 7 clansmen and 20 ninja dogs, he was also startled by the commotion at the entrance of the security headquarters.

The security headquarters, which usually exuded an aura of unapproachability, was now brightly decorated. A huge red banner hung above the headquarters' signboard at the main entrance, reading:

The ceremony for the donation of police dogs to the Konoha Police Department and the establishment of the Inuzuka Clan Special Police Dog Training Base of the Police Department.

At the main entrance of the security headquarters, Uchiha Touhuan and Uchiha Fugaku, dressed in formal attire, waited below the banner. Beside them, dozens of security headquarters members who were not on duty at the moment stood at attention.

This situation completely baffled Inuzuka Kaze. He had originally planned to send over the police dogs trained by his clan and a few promising juniors, and also get a position in the Security Department himself. However, the commotion caused by the Security Department made him look down at the most ordinary ninja tactical vest he was wearing in Konoha.

The rest of the Inuzuka clan members suddenly felt that they weren't dressed formally enough.

However, at this moment, Uchiha Touhuan and Uchiha Fugaku, who had already seen the group, led their men forward.

"Brother Feng, we've been waiting for you all for quite some time." Uchiha Touhuan warmly shook hands with Inuzuka Feng and said. Then, Uchiha Touhuan went to the Inuzuka clan members who had come with Inuzuka Feng, shook hands with each of them, and said, "Welcome to the Inuzuka clan, everyone, to the Security Department family."

"Inahikawa, take all of you to change your clothes." After shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries, Uchiha Touken turned and gave the order.

"Yes!" Uchiha Inahikami nodded, then went to Inuzuka Kaze and the others, reminding them, "Everyone, please follow me."

Eight people and twenty dogs entered the security headquarters under the guidance of Uchiha Inahisa. When they came out, they had changed their clothes. Inuzuka Kaze even put on a ninja vest specially used by the security headquarters at the captain level, while the twenty ninja dogs were fully armed.

After changing their clothes, Uchiha Inahisa led everyone to the banner, where Uchiha Touhuan was already waiting.

After everyone arrived, Uchiha Touhuan personally put the police unit's code on the eight newly joined Inuzuka clan members, and then put special police dog number tags on the twenty police dogs. Inuzuka Fu's partner, Sumeraru, was even given the special number 00001.

"On behalf of all my colleagues in the Security Department, I welcome the Inuzuka clan ninjas and their ninja dogs to the new club." After doing all this, Uchiha Touhuan announced loudly.

Then, the image of Uchiha Tou-kan and Inuzuka Fu shaking hands with smiles was captured on camera and will be forever recorded.

……

The Hokage's office in Konoha and the various ninja clans quickly learned of what had happened at the entrance of the security department.

The Aburame clan's leaders were utterly stunned. As one of the two clans that received Uchiha Touhuan's invitation that night, unlike the Inuzuka clan, which quickly made a decision to fully side with the Uchiha clan, the Aburame clan was more filled with fear in the face of Uchiha Touhuan's invitation.

After all, not long ago, the security department sent Aburame Ryoma's corpse. Uchiha Touhuan's invitation to visit in his personal capacity at this time seemed to have ill intentions.

Strictly speaking, the Aburame clan can also be considered victims in this matter. Aburame Ryoma was forcibly taken to Root by Danzo through almost extortion when he was very young, and he has had little contact with them over the years.

However, when Aburame Ryoma used his family's secret techniques to help Danzo with some dirty work, he naturally offended many people. Aburame Ryoma was also different from Yamanaka Fu, another general under Danzo. The Aburame clan's insect control techniques were too obvious. Families that had been disgusted by Danzo did not dare to openly oppose him, so they would naturally hold a grudge against the Aburame clan to some extent.

Therefore, the Aburame clan has always kept a low profile in Konoha all these years.

Now, a ruthless person suddenly appeared in the Uchiha clan and directly killed Danzo. That's not all. The Shimura clan, as the ninja clan that has developed extremely rapidly in the village in recent decades, although it is not as fast as the Utatane, Mitomon, and Sarutobi clans, has grown from an ordinary family that inherited the Summoning Technique to a size that rivals the great clans of the Warring States period after the Third Hokage came to power. But now, their clan leader has been arrested by the Uchiha and taken to the Security Department. We don't even know if he is dead or alive.

What disturbed them even more was that the corpse of Aburame Ryoma, which the security department had simply dumped at the gate of the Aburame clan, had suffered a fatal wound inflicted by the very same ninja sword that Kirigakure feared and was known as the Bloodless Blade. The blade that pierced his heart was black and smooth, without a trace of blood.

This means that Aburame Ryoma's death was probably due to an assassination attempt on Uchiha Touhuan, and Uchiha Touhuan had a ready-made reason to attack the Aburame clan.

But now, the Aburame clan has no choice but to anxiously wait for Uchiha Touhuan to come to their door.

Although the Aburame clan could barely be considered a major ninja clan in the village, with more Jonin than the Inuzuka clan, they were helpless against Danzo, let alone the Uchiha clan, which was even more powerful than Danzo.

……

After finishing the welcoming ceremony, Uchiha Touhuan sat in his office until the end of the workday, then left on time.

When he got home, Sasuke was already there, eating the snacks that Keiko had prepared for him in the dining room.

"Teacher, you're back." As soon as Sasuke heard Uchiha Touhuan enter the room, he ran over with his short legs.

"Hey, Sasuke, you're here pretty early today," Uchiha Touhuan said cheerfully.

After two days together, the master and disciple became familiar with each other. Sasuke was a very smart child. He could quickly memorize everything that Uchiha Touhuan made him recite every day without missing a single word. After Uchiha Touhuan explained it to him, he could understand a lot of the deeper meaning contained in these words, even if he didn't quite understand them.

Soon, the master and student began their lesson in the study.

After Uchiha Touhuan finished explaining the meaning of the last sentence, "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you," the book that Uchiha Touhuan had carefully selected from the "Three Character Classic," "Thousand Character Classic," and "Analects" to serve as Sasuke's primer was completed.

"Alright, Sasuke, that's enough for today." Uchiha Touhuan closed the book and said to Sasuke.

"Yes," Sasuke nodded. "Teacher, what will we learn tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Uchiha Touhuan chuckled. "Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come for a while. The teacher also has some things to take care of."

"Huh?" Sasuke was taken aback, then looked somewhat dejected. "Okay."

Sasuke had grown quite fond of Uchiha Touhuan, the teacher who told him many interesting stories in class, after spending three days together. Now that the teacher had suddenly told him not to come for the time being, he was a little reluctant to let him go.

"Sasuke, your teacher has an assignment for you." Uchiha Touhuan patted Sasuke's head and smiled. "That is, during this time, carefully understand what I have taught you, and then use the principles I have taught you to observe the world. When you start to feel that these principles cannot explain the events in the world well, come to me again, and then I will teach you something new."
