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

Chapter 95 December 12th, Year 56 of Konoha (Part 1)

"In that case, we should be absolutely certain of success." Inuzuka Jax nodded. He knew the value of a three-tomoe Jonin from the Uchiha clan; such a person could at least take on two opponents at once.

"So, what about the captain of the Anbu?" Seiichi Nagai asked at this moment. "Although that guy is young, I have to admit that his strength is among the best in the entire Anbu."

As soon as Nagai Seiichi finished speaking, everyone present turned to look at Uchiha Fugaku. Everyone knew that this newly appointed captain of the Anbu was their unfilial son. Nagai Seiichi did not name him directly, which was already out of respect for Uchiha Fugaku.

"That Itachi guy is really disobedient," Fugaku Uchiha sighed and said.

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up: "Leave Itachi to me."

Uchiha Touhuan glanced at Shisui and nodded.

"Then there's only one problem left," Yoshimura Ryoto lit a cigarette. "We can mobilize some of the Chunin and Genin in the village, but if the Third Hokage gives the order directly, we can't say for sure which side they'll take. In that case, the village might fall into chaos."

"Regarding this issue, Kakashi will bring back a unit from the border," Uchiha Touhuan said. "They will be responsible for maintaining order within the village."

"In that case, there's no problem." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Well then, everyone go back and get ready. We'll start the operation promptly at 5 PM tomorrow," said Uchiha Touhuan. "Clan Chief Aburame, at that time, the communication between our various tribes will be handled by your clan's liaison insects."

"Understood." Aburame nodded slightly.

……

A day passed, and on the morning of December 12th, the sun shone brightly.

The seemingly peaceful day passed quickly. At 4:30 pm, nearing the end of the workday, the security department and some of the village's ninjas received notices to stay and work overtime that night.

As evening fell, the meeting room of the garrison headquarters was filled with people, who initially thought it was just a routine all-staff meeting.

Just then, several squad leaders walked into the conference room and began distributing a reel to each of their men.

The first person to receive the scroll secretly channeled a little chakra into it. He should have looked away, because what he saw startled him.

Inside the scroll were at least 800,000 taels of silver, their ten months' wages, and a ninjutsu technique suitable for them.

Soon, everyone received their scrolls. After looking at the contents, they all looked at each other, wondering what had happened.

At this moment, the captain of the First Battalion, Uchiha Tetsuyu, stepped onto the podium and announced, "Tonight, the Security Department has a special operation that requires martial law to be imposed in the village. Therefore, we need everyone to work overtime for a while tonight. Overtime pay has already been paid to you all."

"Everyone has one!" Uchiha Tetsuyu shouted, and all the members of the security department stood up.

"Salute to Commander-in-Chief Doo-hwan!"

Although most people didn't understand what was happening, the heavy reel in their hands made them involuntarily raise their right hands.

"loyalty!"

Similar scenes were playing out almost simultaneously in some parts of the village, where members of the Anbu and the Isshinkai in the Jonin class distributed the large sums of money that Uchiha Tohsen had entrusted to them to their direct subordinates.

At 5:30 PM, Kakashi was brought to the office of Uchiha Touhuan in the Security Department, where a sand table of the village was displayed, by Genma Shiranui and the other two.

At this moment, everyone who attended the gathering yesterday has arrived.

"When will you arrive?" Uchiha Touhuan asked after Kakashi landed.

"We'll reach the village in two hours at most." Kakashi didn't say much, and went to the sand table to look at Uchiha Touhuan's arrangements.

"Well then, I'll leave this place to you to take command," Uchiha Touhuan said, patting Kakashi on the shoulder.

"Leave it to me." Kakashi nodded.

Uchiha Touhuan turned to the others: "Are the watches all correct?"

Everyone present took out their timing devices and nodded to Uchiha Touhuan after confirming the time one last time.

"Chief Aburame, the communication between us depends on your Aburame clan," said Uchiha Touken.

"Understood," Aburame nods slightly.

Uchiha Touhuan glanced around the office and then said, "Success or failure hinges on this. Let's go. Six o'clock sharp, on time."

……

At 6 p.m., after most of the villagers had returned home from get off work, the entire security force mobilized and quickly took control of every street in the village.

"What are you looking at? Martial law is in effect in the village tonight. No one is allowed to go out, or they will be treated as rioters."

The lingering effects of the last martial law operation by the garrison were still present, so this time, most villagers obediently returned home and closed their doors and windows when they saw the garrison members carrying batons. A few ungrateful ones also became docile after being hit with two batons.

In less than five minutes, the security department had completed the imposition of martial law in most parts of the village, except for the area around the Hokage Building and the residences of the Anbu and Jonin teams.

At that moment, Uchiha Touhuan also arrived at Jiraiya's office not far from the Jonin team's residence.

Because Uchiha Touhuan said yesterday that he would come to report to Jiraiya about the Sharingan of the masked man, Jiraiya had given instructions to the guards at the door in advance, which allowed Uchiha Touhuan to enter Jiraiya's office without much hindrance.

Jiraiya looked up and saw Uchiha Touhuan approaching, a smile spreading across his face: "Touhuan, you're here. Have you found anything about that masked man?"

"Lord Jiraiya, I'm sorry, but we haven't found any records of that masked man's Mangekyou Sharingan within the clan," said Uchiha Touhuan.

"Is that so?" Jiraiya sighed upon hearing this. "Then, who exactly is he?"

"The Security Department will continue its investigation into this matter." Uchiha Touhuan approached Jiraiya's desk and placed a document on it. "However, before that, could you please explain this matter, Jiraiya-sama?"

Jiraiya, unaware of what had happened, picked up the documents on the table. But when he saw the records about Nagato and the Rinnegan, his expression changed drastically.

"Lord Jiraiya, you discovered Rinnegan awakeners with Uzumaki clan blood, but instead of bringing them back to the village, you left them there to teach them ninjutsu. What are you thinking, Lord Jiraiya?" Uchiha Touhuan said coldly.

"Douhuan, I can explain this." Jiraiya wanted to explain, but Uchiha Douhuan's hand was already on his desk.

"If you want an explanation, please come back to the security headquarters with me, Lord Jiraiya, and we'll explain it clearly then."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's expression changed.

"Uchiha Touhuan, do you know what you're doing?" Jiraiya said to Uchiha Touhuan with a frown.

"Arresting people suspected of crimes within the village is the duty entrusted to the Security Department by the Second Hokage, isn't it?" Uchiha Touhuan met Jiraiya's gaze without fear and spoke.

At that moment, a shadow clone, far away inside Ryuchi Cave, suddenly exploded, returning to Uchiha Tohsen's body with the condensed Sage Chakra. A light purple eyeshadow instantly appeared around Uchiha Tohsen's eyes.

"Or is it that Lord Jiraiya intends to violently resist arrest?"

Upon seeing this, Jiraiya's expression changed drastically: "Sage Mode? Where did you learn that?"

"Is that important, Lord Jiraiya?" Uchiha Touhuan chuckled.

"Bang." Jiraiya, who was standing in front of the desk, instantly turned into a cloud of smoke and exploded. When he reappeared, he had already distanced himself from Uchiha Touhuan, and at the same time, his hands were in the position of forming hand seals.

"Jiraiya, do you want to fight me here?" Uchiha Touhuan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, three lightning bolt-shaped tomoe were slowly flowing in his crimson eyes, and crackling light blue lightning began to surround his body.

……

Meanwhile, Uchiha Touhuan's shadow clone, along with Uchiha Fugaku and six captains from the security department, arrived at the Hokage's office.

After giving the order, and without waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi's response, Touken Uchiha led everyone straight into the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up at the group of people who had entered through the door, his brows furrowed.

"Douhuan, what brings you here at this hour?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked patiently.

Uchiha Touhuan's shadow clone walked to the Hokage's desk, placed the official document for Jiraiya's arrest in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, and then said, "During the investigation of the rogue ninja Orochimaru, the Security Department discovered clues that the current Hokage was assisting Jiraiya in aiding the enemy and betraying the village."

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head and looked at Touken Uchiha: "Jiraiya was the village's Hokage's assistant, so the Security Department shouldn't have the authority to arrest him, right?"

"So, I've come to ask for the Hokage's permission, haven't I?" Uchiha Touhuan's shadow clone looked directly into Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes and spoke slowly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath, took out the crystal ball, and poured chakra into it.

Uchiha Touhuan's shadow clone did not stop him, allowing him to use the telescope technique. Soon, the scene of Jiraiya confronting Uchiha Touhuan in the Hokage's office appeared on the crystal ball.

"Shadow clone?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Touhou Uchiha in front of him.

At this moment, all the people brought by Uchiha Touhuan, except for Uchiha Fugaku, marched in step to stand at attention behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Security Department! Attention!" Uchiha Touhuan suddenly shouted.
