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

"Report!" At that moment, Uchiha Inahisa suddenly knocked on the office door and walked in.

"A large number of villagers suddenly gathered at the entrance of the security headquarters. They blocked the gate and demanded that we release the people," Uchiha Inahisa said.

"What?!" Uchiha Tessou, a veteran Jonin of the clan with a fiery temper and a key figure in the radical faction of the clan council, slammed his fist on the table. "How dare they! Do they think our security force is made of clay?"

"Captain Tetsuyu, calm down," Uchiha Touhuan said, then looked at Uchiha Inahisa, "How's the situation now?"

"Zaidou has already led two squads of ninjas to maintain order at the entrance of the security department," Uchiha Inahisa said.

"Good job. Keep the villagers calm for now. I'll be there in a bit," Uchiha Touhuan said. "Tell Zaidou to try not to use violence first."

After Uchiha Inahi left, Uchiha Touhuan instructed the other captains in the office, "You all stay here and look at these interrogation records. Captain Fugaku and I will go check the door."

"Understood!" The six captains in the office nodded.

Afterwards, Uchiha Touhuan and Uchiha Fugaku walked together toward the gate of the security headquarters.

Just as the two were about to arrive, Shisui rushed over and stopped them.

"Captain, Vice-Captain," Shisui greeted the two.

"Shisui, if there's nothing else, step back. Can't you see how urgent the situation is?" Seeing Shisui blocking his way, Fugaku Uchiha looked displeased and reprimanded him.

"Captain, Vice-Captain, let me go and negotiate with the villagers," Zhishui said. "If the conflict escalates further, the whole situation will get out of control."

"This is not something you should be concerned with in your position," Fugaku Uchiha said with a stern face.

"It's alright, Captain Fugaku. I think it's fine to leave this to Shisui-nii." At this moment, Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile.

"Douhuan?" Fugaku Uchiha asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Besides working in the Security Department, Shisui also worked for a while in the Anbu directly under the Hokage. I think if he were to step in, he could represent the Hokage's intentions to some extent. Moreover, I believe that Shisui can handle this matter without causing conflict with the villagers." Uchiha Touhuan smiled and patted Shisui on the shoulder. "Shisui, I'm leaving this matter to you."

"Don't worry, Doo-hwan, I'll handle it." Shi-sui looked grateful. In this situation, Doo-hwan was still willing to believe in him, which moved him deeply.

Seeing that Shisui had already accepted the task, Uchiha Touhuan simply returned to his office with Fugaku.

Upon arriving at the office, Fugaku Uchiha immediately blurted out, "You really believe Shisui can solve this?"

Having dealt with the village's troublemakers for many years, Fugaku Uchiha knew how difficult they were to deal with. Shisui, on the other hand, had grown up during the war years and went straight into the Anbu without any proper security work experience. How could he possibly handle these troublemakers?

"Elder Fugaku, I understand what you mean," Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile. "However, now that Shisui has returned to the Security Department, he should try to learn how to deal with the villagers."

Uchiha Touhuan pulled a thick stack of documents from the filing cabinet, opened them, placed them on the table, and then looked up at Fugaku.

"By the way, Elder Fugaku, everyone worked hard today. I'll give everyone two months' salary as a bonus later. Also, for the commoner ninjas, select a suitable ninjutsu from the clan's ninjutsu library for each of them."

"Two months? Isn't that a bit too much?" Fugaku hesitated. Although Uchiha Touhuan had made 15 billion in one go last time, he couldn't afford to squander it like that.

"The men under my command follow us simply because they want to eat their fill, but I'm going to fill their cheeks to the brim!" Uchiha Touhuan said. "Besides, money is something I can get the first time and I can always get more."

"Alright," Fugaku Uchiha nodded.

……

"Government! Release them!" Nearly 2000 villagers gathered in front of the government headquarters shouted deafening slogans.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Zaito led nearly 60 team members, setting up a cordon and forming a human wall in front of the security headquarters, armed with batons.

The two sides were locked in a standoff, and the situation looked extremely tense.

After obtaining permission from Uchiha Touhuan, Shisui immediately rushed to the front line of the confrontation.

"Everyone, please calm down and go back first. Don't gather in front of the police station," Shisui said sincerely to the group of people holding up signs at the front of the villagers' group.

"Your garrison dare to arrest people arbitrarily? Do you think you're in the right? Let me tell you, we're not leaving until you release them today!"

"That's right! Release them! Release them!" The gathered villagers kept shouting, as if they would not give up until the garrison released them.

"Everyone, our security department just brought them back for questioning..." Shisui tried to explain, but before he could finish, several rotten vegetable leaves were thrown at his head.

"Don't listen to their explanations! Those who were arrested are innocent! I think the police force just wants to protect the village's serial killer and oppress us unarmed civilians."

"Yes! That's right! Damn security forces! Release them!"

The next moment, a barrage of rotten eggs and vegetable leaves rained down on Shisui. With Shisui's skills, he could easily dodge these things, but at this moment, he froze on the spot. He didn't understand why this was happening. The guard was clearly just protecting the reputation of the village's heroes and upholding the Will of Fire.

Fortunately, at that moment, Uchiha Zaito intervened, pulling Shisui back behind the cordon. He glared at the guy and said impatiently, "What are you doing here causing trouble?"

Fortunately, although the villagers were quite agitated, they still maintained basic rationality. Despite their commotion, not one of them dared to break through the cordon set up by the garrison.

"Shumei, hurry back and report what happened here to Vice Captain Douhuan." Uchiha Zaidou glanced at the deeply shocked Shisui and then instructed his subordinate.

……

Back in his temporary office at the prison, Uchiha Touhuan listened to Sakurai Hideaki's report with a grave expression.

This made the six captains in the office hesitant to speak.

After a moment, Uchiha Touhuan spoke with a gloomy expression: "The Security Department is the elite force of our village, and Shisui is an elite Jonin among us. Yet these villagers are not even afraid of ninjas. They are no ordinary villagers."

"They're all thugs! Thugs! It seems we have to deal with this decisively!" Uchiha Touhuan clenched his fist and swung it forcefully in the air. "Everyone, except for the most basic interrogators, all other members of the security department, assemble in the conference room!"
