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

Uchiha Touhuan's uncharacteristic cursing stunned Shisui. In his memory, Uchiha Touhuan was always very gentle in his dealings with people. Even when the two of them had a conflict that night, Uchiha Touhuan had never lost his temper like this.

"So, you knew all this all along, didn't you?" Shisui asked.

"More or less," Uchiha Touhuan said, having calmed down by then. "After all, I've been in the security department for several years and have seen a lot of case files. It's easy for me to find something wrong with some of the missing persons cases in the village. It's just that I haven't found any evidence before."

"So, you've always suspected the village's higher-ups, haven't you? Why..." Shisui originally wanted to ask why he didn't tell him, but seeing Uchiha Touhuan's eyes, Shisui wisely shut up. That's right, given how easily he was fooled by these people before, why would Uchiha Touhuan believe him?

Furthermore, upon thinking about this, Shisui suddenly realized that if Uchiha Touhuan hadn't taken Kotoamatsukami from him and allowed him to successfully use the technique on Uchiha Fugaku, who was then the clan leader, what terrible things would have happened? At that time, the children of the clan would probably have experienced everything that the missing children on this incriminating evidence had gone through. Moreover, as the mastermind behind all of this, he would have been kept in the dark until the entire Uchiha clan was wiped out.

It was Uchiha Tou-hwan who stopped all of this, preventing him from becoming a sinner to the entire clan and even the entire village.

"Thank you," Uchiha Shisui murmured.

"There's no need to talk about these things among clansmen." Uchiha Touhuan knew what Shisui was referring to and waved his hand dismissively.

"Douhuan, you once told me that those who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan all faced inner torment, and that the eye techniques born from the Mangekyou Sharingan were the answers they themselves gave. So, can you tell me what the torment you faced and what your answer was?"

"Me?" Upon hearing this, Uchiha Touhuan's face showed a slight fluctuation. "When I was nine years old, the village sent me to the battlefield. When I first went to the battlefield, my mentality was the same as most of my clansmen. I thought that I could make a name for myself in this war by relying on the power brought by the blood of my clan. Until the most cruel side of the battlefield was directly in front of me, my Sharingan reached the three-tomoe level in less than a year, a level that most clansmen could not reach in their entire lives. However, Shisui, you know that every advancement of the Sharingan means the departure of at least one important person. My teachers, partners, and clansmen all perished in the blood and fire on the battlefield."

"Because of some special experiences, I began to doubt the reality of this world. At that time, I thought that this world was not a real world. In this morbid world where you could die from a shuriken or ninjutsu that flew out of nowhere in the next second, was there any point in trying so hard to live?"

"Until that time, when my uncle Uchiha Kaito, who had been taking care of me since my parents' sacrifice, and I were surrounded by 15 Kirigakure Jonin teams, Uncle Kaito died directly in the enemy's large-scale combination ninjutsu in order to cover my retreat. My parents had died shortly after I was born, and Uncle Kaito had always been like a father to me. The pain he felt when he was swallowed up by Kirigakure's combination ninjutsu made me find my answer."

"This world is the absolute reality to me, and all I can do in the face of its morbidity is to lead those I care about, even if it means facing certain death, to seize that one last glimmer of hope and change this world." Uchiha Touhuan looked into Shisui's eyes and said, word by word, "This is the origin of my eye techniques, Mizusou no Mikoto and the Eighty Calamities Gods."

"I see." Shisui sighed. "You're right. Compared to you, my capacity is indeed far too insignificant. But what should we do about this?"

Shisui looked at the document on the table that recorded the crimes of the three clans colluding with Orochimaru and asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Touhuan remained silent for a while before letting out a long sigh: "So be it."

Then, Uchiha Touhuan called out towards the door, "Captain Shihai!"

When Aburame Shikai, who had been waiting outside, heard Uchiha Touhuan call him, he quickly pushed the door open and entered.

Aburame Shikai pushed open the door and entered. Upon seeing Shisui, a strange curiosity flickered in his eyes behind his sunglasses. However, he didn't say much, but instead looked at Uchiha Touhuan: "Vice-Captain, what are your orders?"

"Go down and ask how the interrogation of those thugs is going?" Uchiha Touhuan said.

"Yes." Shiki Aburame accepted the order and left, returning to her office shortly afterward.

"The interrogation of those thugs is almost complete. Most of them were instigated by others. The ninjas who organized and planned all of this and infiltrated the thugs were from the Utatane and Mitomon clans."

"That's enough." Uchiha Touhuan nodded, pushing the evidence towards Aburame Shikai and Uchiha Shisui. "The Utatane and Mitomon clans, as the maternal clans of the village's Hokage, instead of serving the village, they collude with rogue ninjas, harming their comrades, and now they are inciting villagers to slander the reputation of the village's heroes."

"Captain Aburame!" Uchiha Touhuan looked at Aburame Shikai.

"exist."

"You will lead the Sixth Battalion to the Mitomon and Shimura clan headquarters to apprehend these suspects. Uchiha Shisui."

"Yes, sir." Shisui's eyes were firm as he bowed his head to accept the order.

"You will assist from the sidelines. If you encounter resistance, you will be treated as a traitor to the village. If necessary, you may kill him directly."

"Understood." The two nodded in acceptance.

"Come back soon, everyone has worked hard tonight." Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile before the two left.

……

The two led the Sixth Battalion, which had been waiting in the garrison headquarters, out of the headquarters and headed towards the territory of the three clans. The members of the Sixth Battalion, who had been waiting in the garrison headquarters, felt somewhat disappointed as they watched the other battalions return with their spoils. Now that they had finally received their mission, they were all eager to get started, thinking that the territory of the three clans would not be too peaceful tonight.

After arranging everything, Uchiha Touhuan drank the freshly brewed tea in one gulp, then got up to head to the Hokage Building.

At that moment, Fugaku Uchiha, who had been waiting outside, walked in, glanced at the sword rack in his office, and asked, "Aren't you going to bring your sword?"

"There's no need," Uchiha Touhuan laughed. "We probably won't need it tonight."

"Oh, right, Captain Fugaku, remember to distribute the bonuses and ninjutsu before you leave work. Everyone has worked hard tonight. With the bonuses and ninjutsu, you'll all be able to get a good night's sleep." Before leaving, Uchiha Touhuan turned back and instructed.

"I understand," Fugaku Uchiha said with a smile.
