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

To be honest, Uchiha Tou-hwan was completely stunned when he learned that the Security Department had legislative power.

With legislative and law enforcement powers in their hands, and their own armed forces, the Uchiha clan's fate in the original timeline was truly astounding.

But considering that most of the clan members are obsessed with muscle and clan honor, and the few with a little bit of brains are either easily fooled or timid and lack any courage, it's not surprising that this ending happened.

However, things were different when it came to Uchiha Touhuan; he knew all too well how to make good use of the power he had.

Shisui was quite efficient. Two days after Uchiha Touhuan issued his order, a document titled "Supplementary Clauses to the Konoha Village Public Security Management and Punishment Law" was placed on Uchiha Touhuan's desk.

Uchiha Touhuan, sitting at his desk, reviewed the draft submitted by Shisui, nodded in satisfaction, looked up at Shisui who was sitting in front of him with an expectant look, and said, "Well done, Shisui, you put your heart into it."

"It's all for the Will of Fire." Shisui said with a smile, seeing that Uchiha Touhuan seemed quite satisfied with the results of his efforts over the past two days.

"But don't you think the punishment is a bit too lenient?" Uchiha Touhuan said, pointing to the penalty on the table that consisted of a fine plus a verbal warning.

"Douhuan, they are just ordinary villagers. Isn't this punishment already quite severe?" Zhishui said, somewhat puzzled.

"Shisui, it seems you still haven't understood what I mean," Uchiha Touhuan said. "Before I explain, take a look at this."

Uchiha Touhuan stood up, took out a document with a security classification of A on the cover from the filing cabinet behind him, and handed it to Shisui.

"This... isn't a good idea?" Shisui hesitated, looking at the "Confidentiality Level A" markings on the file folder.

"Just look. I trust that you, who also possess the Will of Fire, won't casually reveal these secrets," Uchiha Touhuan said.

"Okay." Shisui nodded somewhat reluctantly and opened the file folder.

Inside was the truth about the White Fang incident, which had been extracted from the mouths of several high-ranking members of the Shimura clan.

"This...this...this..." The bloody truth shocked Uchiha Shisui beyond words. He had heard about the Will of Fire study session some time ago, and that's how he learned about Sakumo Hatake, the hero of the village. But what he didn't expect was that so much filth was hidden behind the hero's death.

"Is the point of enacting this law to punish those villagers? No! What we're doing is upholding the honor of heroes! Imagine if heroes who have rendered great service to the village can be wantonly slandered, then who will still believe in the glory of the Will of Fire!" Uchiha Touhuan looked into Shisui's eyes and said solemnly, "The events of White Fang's past must never be repeated! This is my Will of Fire!"

"I understand," Shisui said with a sigh, putting down the document.

"You've done a great job. Leave the rest to me," Uchiha Touhuan finally said.

After spending time together, Uchiha Touhuan had figured out Shisui's personality. This guy was still as innocent and cute as ever. However, Uchiha Touhuan also discovered that this guy was not so much brainwashed by Hiruzen Sarutobi, but rather by the Will of Fire. This saved Uchiha Touhuan a lot of brain cells. For someone whose mind was full of the Will of Fire, after all, it didn't matter who used the Will of Fire. As long as the Uchiha showed more of the Will of Fire than Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shisui would naturally stand on the side of the clan.

Shisui left somewhat dejectedly, while Uchiha Touhuan picked up the draft on the table and began to revise it.

After the revisions were completed, Uchiha Touhuan summoned Uchiha Inahisa and instructed him to prepare to have people post the announcement throughout the village.

In the latest version of the bill, Uchiha Tohkan made detailed provisions for the punishment measures.

Those who participate in spreading rumors will be fined and given a verbal warning if the circumstances are not serious.

Those who participate in spreading rumors to slander heroes in the village, and whose actions are serious, will be subject to administrative detention for 7 days to one month.

Those found to be the source of the rumors will be sentenced to up to six months in prison.

Uchiha Touhuan, on the other hand, took this legal document and made a special trip to the Hokage's office.

After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi is still the highest-ranking official leader of the village. Even if Tobirama Senju gave the Uchiha clan the power to legislate, Touhuan Uchiha would have to let Hiruzen Sarutobi know about it, both morally and logically.

When Uchiha Touhuan arrived at the Hokage Building and reported his purpose, Hiruzen Sarutobi made him wait for a short while before calling him into the Hokage's office.

Uchiha Touhuan entered the Hokage's office and immediately saw Nara Shikaku, the Hokage's assistant, standing beside Hiruzen Sarutobi. He chuckled to himself.

It seems that with the presence of Kotoamatsukami, this old guy really doesn't dare to meet Uchiha Touhuan one-on-one anymore. Every time he meets Uchiha Touhuan, he always has at least one person present with him.

However, this was exactly what Uchiha Touhuan wanted. Uchiha Touhuan placed the new legal provisions in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, then bowed and said:

"Third Hokage, there have been many rumors circulating in the village recently. In order to curb this unhealthy trend, the Security Department plans to introduce a bill on this matter. Please take a look, Hokage."

As soon as Uchiha Touhuan finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Nara Shikaku, who was standing next to him, both narrowed their eyes. Nara Shikaku lowered his head and remained silent, while Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the bill submitted by Uchiha Touhuan and began to read it.

After a long while, Hiruzen Sarutobi lit his pipe, took a deep drag, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and slowly said, "Touhuan, isn't this punishment a bit too severe?"

"Is it serious? I don't think so," Uchiha Touhuan said righteously. "If just anyone can slander the heroes who risked their lives for the village, then what is the Will of Fire? Where the leaves dance, the fire will never die; its light will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout. But if we can't even protect the honor of the heroes who were willing to burn themselves out for the village, then who will be willing to burn themselves for the new green leaves in the future?"

After Uchiha Touhuan finished speaking, Nara Shikamaru silently took two steps back and lowered his head.

Even though he's now the Hokage's assistant, the Will of Fire is a slippery slope that an ordinary ninja clan leader like him can't even touch.
