Chapter 3 Everything I did was for justice!
Far from the core area of Konoha Village.
A tall building that appears somewhat oppressive in the darkness.
In the very center is a huge shuriken symbol, with the Uchiha clan's emblem, the flame fan, at its core.
This is the headquarters of the police force.
Uchiha Senba strode inside.
The two subordinates behind him were trembling with fear, as if walking on thin ice, and dared not raise their heads.
As soon as he entered the headquarters, Uchiha Chiba felt a cold and powerful chakra rush towards him.
That was none other than the clan leader of the Uchiha clan...
Uchiha Fugaku.
At this moment, he was surrounded by several elite members of the police force.
This included veteran Uchiha Hachimoku, as well as Uchiha Yakumi, Uchiha Tetsuka, Uchiha Inahisa, and others.
As soon as Qian Yu arrived, everyone's eyes were fixed on him.
Especially Uchiha Fugaku.
He took a deep breath, his face contorted with rare fury.
"Chiyu, what happened to those two corpses?!"
Fugaku Uchiha pointed to the corpses that had already been collected on the ground.
Qianyu didn't even glance at it.
"The man was addicted to gambling, even stealing his own son's life-saving money to gamble, which led to the son's death. He deserves to die."
"A woman who harbors a criminal, knowing that her son was killed by a man and still protecting him, is tantamount to being an accomplice to the crime. In addition, she intended to assault a police officer, so her crime is aggravated. She did not die unjustly."
Uchiha Fugaku was dumbfounded.
They exchanged glances with the elite members of the surrounding police force, and couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
"Chiyu, do you even believe what you're saying?!"
"I have no doubt about it."
"..."
Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but raise his voice.
"Do you realize what the ninjas and villagers will think of our Uchiha clan if we enforce the law like this?!"
"Do you even realize that because of the Nine-Tails' attack, the entire Hidden Leaf Village is already filled with suspicion towards my Uchiha clan, and the village's higher-ups are eyeing us with predatory intent? With such undercurrents swirling and ready to erupt at any moment, how dare you resort to such extreme measures?!"
Uchiha Chiba remained unmoved.
"Clan Chief, what methods can I use to make the ninjas and villagers of Konoha look at our Uchiha clan differently?"
"What methods can I use to stop the Konoha leadership from eyeing us covetously?"
"this……"
Fugaku Uchiha was speechless for a moment.
yes……
Now, no matter what the Uchiha do, it is impossible to change Konoha's impression of the Uchiha, nor can it change the attitude of Konoha's higher-ups towards the Uchiha!
Uchiha Hachiro and the others exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile wryly.
"Even so, we're already sitting on a pile of explosives, why would you want to light the fuse yourself?!"
Uchiha Chiyu said calmly, "The fuse has never been in my hands."
"As for who has it in their hands, the clan chief knows perfectly well."
"As for whether my methods of law enforcement are extreme or not, I reserve my opinion on that."
"All I know is that everything I did was for justice."
"I have absolutely no regrets about what I have done."
"If the chieftain thinks I have disobeyed orders, he may expel me from the police force."
"you!"
Fugaku Uchiha was so angry that his head swelled up like a bucket.
How can there be such a stubborn person!
Moreover, they are completely unresponsive to reason!
On the other hand, Fugaku Uchiha also knew that he was powerful and had a group of loyal followers. The Uchiha clan absolutely needed his strength.
Even deep down, Fugaku Uchiha didn't completely disapprove of his extreme methods...
"Eighth Elder, please speak to him on my behalf!"
Uchiha Hachimoku gave a wry smile.
"Chief, this fellow doesn't even listen to you, what's the point of me talking to him?"
"But, Chiba..."
"That gambling addict was indeed beyond redemption, killing him would have been fine, but was it really necessary to kill that woman?"
"Stop spouting nonsense about assaulting a police officer. How could an ordinary middle-aged woman possibly hurt a Jonin like you?"
Uchiha Chiyu shook her head.
"I've already said it, she didn't resist the culprit who killed her own son. Even after I killed that man, she still defended him and blamed me. Such a foolish and stupid person is an accomplice to the crime."
"In this world, evil people certainly deserve to die, but those who sympathize with evil people are fools..."
"They have no right to live either."
Even the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha couldn't help but gasp.
This man is terrifying...
Ironically, it's very difficult to convince you of his flawed reasoning...
Uchiha Chiba, he would rather live in his own obsession...
Fugaku sighed, rubbing his forehead.
"Qianyu, I know you are young and impetuous, and your methods are ruthless and extreme, but..."
"Can't you think about me too?"
"Are you suggesting I use this twisted logic to deal with the Hokage if he interrogates me?"
"Is there a problem?"
Qianyu remained unmoved.
Fugaku was speechless.
"If the Hokage insists on holding him accountable, then let me, the clan head, speak to him personally."
"Regardless of how the clan leader or the Hokage punishes us..."
"I accept it all."
After saying this, Qianyu turned and left.
Inside the police headquarters, Fugaku Uchiha and his group shook their heads with wry smiles.
……
The Hokage's office was filled with smoke.
The pipe of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, occasionally emitted a faint light in the dim light.
He looked somewhat tired, but he still forced himself to continue flipping through the documents.
Behind him, Danzo Shimura, hidden in the darkness, stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi's back with a gloomy, expressionless face, lost in thought.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Lord Hokage."
Hiruzen Sarutobi put down the documents for a moment, his brow furrowing slightly as he asked, "The Anbu?"
"Come in."
"Yes."
Two members of the secret service wearing eerie masks pushed open the door and entered.
"What's going on? Is there any unusual activity from the Uchiha clan?"
The two secret agents exchanged a glance through their masks.
"I don't know if this counts as unusual activity..."
"That man named Uchiha Chiba has killed two more civilians from Konoha Village..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's pipe trembled slightly.
"Is it that cold-blooded bastard again?"
"What's the reason this time?"
The two of them explained the whole story in detail.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed as well.
"Hmph, this man is going too far; he's utterly lawless!"
"The Second Hokage created the police force merely to keep the Uchiha clan away from the political center, and at the same time to sow discord between them and the villagers and ninjas of Konoha..."
"Uchiha Chiba... does this bastard really think he has the power of life and death?!"
A cold laugh came from the darkness behind them.
"Hiruzen, according to your logic, wouldn't Uchiha Senba's brutal and extreme methods make the villagers and ninjas hate the Uchiha clan even more?"
"Isn't this exactly what we wanted?"
"Why are you still so irritable?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi coldly replied, "These are two different things!"
"If the Uchiha clan and the police force can decide the life and death of villagers without the Hokage's approval, where is the dignity and face of Konoha Village?"
Danzo Shimura chuckled.
"I don't see it as a matter of Konoha's dignity and reputation..."
"Isn't it your dignity and reputation as Hokage that's at stake?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced sideways behind him, coldly surveying the darkness.
"What's the difference?"
Danzo Shimura snorted but did not answer the question.
Two ANBU members cautiously probed, "Hokage-sama, should we personally question the police force about this matter?"
"Even..."
"Should we just have clan leader Fugaku hand over that man named Uchiha Chiba?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe and then exhaled a heavy cloud of smoke.
"Who knows, Fugaku might have given his approval behind this?"
"Given the current tense situation between the Uchiha clan and the village, how could he allow that bastard Chiba to do something like this? Is he perhaps preparing for a complete break?"
Danzo Shimura's eyes gleamed faintly in the darkness.
"Wouldn't that be better?"
"This malignant tumor that has plagued Konoha since its founding can now be completely eradicated in our generation!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi glared at him: "Danzo, watch your mouth!"
"Hmph, Hiruzen, you're too indecisive!"
"Shut up, Danzo! I am the Hokage!"
"...You'll regret this, Hiruzen."
Danzo Shimura's figure disappeared into the darkness, leaving through a hidden door.
Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a long time in the silence.
"I will use this matter as an excuse..."
"Let's go to the police force ourselves and sound out the Uchiha clan's opinion!"
