Chapter 77: The Dark Hand in the Shadows(1/3)
The police force is an important part of Konoha.
It was established during the reign of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. Its members are all ninjas from the Uchiha clan and are responsible for maintaining public security in the village.
This is not only an affirmation of the strength of the Uchiha clan's ninjas, but in a sense, it also means prevention and surveillance.
Because most ninjas from the Uchiha clan who have their Sharingan enabled are not very emotionally stable, therefore, strict attention must be paid to these people.
But in any case, because the power of the police force is too huge, and Uchiha is Konoha's top blood successor limited ninja clan, based on this situation, even the Hokage often sells them a face.
The guard building is where the members of the guard work. Most of the people who come in and out of here are ninjas from the Uchiha clan. Occasionally, ninjas or civilians who have committed crimes are brought inside for instructions. These ninjas and civilians are probably
Violating some of the village's rules, but it's not serious, it's a civil dispute, and the maximum is a few days and a half month's detention.
If the circumstances are serious, they will be sent to Konoha Prison for reform.
As for the work process, there is basically no need to report to the Hokage. As long as there are no major problems, the Hokage will not pay attention to such things.
Although there are already several baskets of complaints against the police force for being arrogant and detaining people indiscriminately.
Some of them were really wronged due to negligence, and some were fanning the flames behind the scenes to slander the Uchiha clan.
After joining the security force, Liuli saw such trivial things every day.
After all, it is very rare to find a spy in the village or encounter an enemy attacking Konoha.
Most of the time, the task of the police force is to deal with these civil disputes.
Even if it is handled well, most of them will not get a good reputation. Once it is not handled well, all kinds of complaints will come to your door.
In addition, most of the ninjas of the Uchiha clan have very direct tempers. When they can't help it, they will beat up those who speak out loud, which will lead to more accusations.
"It's so boring..."
Liuli stood inside the guard building, in the corridor on the third floor, looking through the glass at the crowds coming and going outside. She could clearly see two Uchiha ninjas from the guard holding down several people in front of the square of the guard building.
When I came in, there was a fierce quarrel between the two parties in the square.
"It's boring, but this is what the police force goes through every day. Especially after retreating from the front line, it's hard to adapt to such a peaceful life."
The ones who walked up to Ruri were Uchiha Jonin and Uchiha Fugaku.
He knew that Ruri had just been transferred to the security team from Sakumo's team and was unable to switch to his current identity for a while.
Unlike the exciting life of Sakumo Squad, the work of the Guard Team is indeed much more monotonous.
When he saw the dispute in front of the police building, Fugaku did not make any comments. This kind of situation has long been accustomed to it.
"This kind of thankless job should be done by other ninja clans. Our clan alone cannot handle these people's rumors."
On the contrary to Fugaku, Liuli is not afraid of such unnecessary rumors, but if she hears or sees too much, it will make her bored.
Just like a fly that chatters endlessly.
There are too few ninjas and civilians in Konoha who can truly look at things rationally.
People like Sakumo are even rarer among the rare.
It's not that Uchiha has no friends in Konoha, it's just that there are very few people who can be called friends.
There are also some who have a neutral attitude, and many more complain about the arrogant attitude of the police force.
This is also where Ruri feels dissatisfied. Since he is being accused, it would be great if all the ninjas are accused together, which can share a lot of Uchiha's pressure.
And if other ninjas from the ninja clan join in, it will be easier to handle these civil disputes.
For example, the three clans of the Ino, Deer, and Butterflies, or the Hinata, who are also members of the Bloodline Limited Ninja clan, have their secret techniques and abilities and are also assigned to serve in the police force.
"But this is a pillar that only we, the Uchiha clan, can carry. And if we allocate the power of the police force to the rest of the ninja clan, many people in the clan will have objections."
As the only two ninja clan who took the lead in founding Konoha, the Uchiha clan should enjoy this kind of treatment and not be on an equal footing with the rest of the ninja clan.
"Only one family maintains absolute power. No matter how much power is divided, it will not affect the family's status in Konoha. No discerning person will look down on us. As for those mediocre people, the power of Uchiha is not for those idiots to watch."
This is how Liuli sees it.
Fugaku didn't say anything. He knew that Liuli's strategy would not be passed at the family meeting and would be rejected by many people.
"By the way, aren't you out on a mission?"
Liuli knew that Fugaku was currently working for the Hokage faction and formed a new team with the other ninjas in the village to carry out tasks.
"I also have a name in the police force, but after the mission is completed, I come back here to take a look. It's still the same as before, not much has changed."
Fugaku sighed.
"I kind of want to go out on a mission."
Liuli said this.
"Be patient, this is something that every Uchiha ninja will experience. Speaking of which, how much do you know about the Mangekyou Sharingan?"
Fugaku turned to chat with Ruri about other topics.
"You asked the wrong person. I may not know as much about the Mangekyo Sharingan as you do."
Liuli shook her head. She had only met with Elder Sifang a handful of times in the past few years. On the one hand, it was because of the mission, and on the other hand, she really felt that he was getting old.
He is no longer the elder in her mind who is full of wisdom and can give her a lot of effective experience.
Especially the incident at the root has always been a thorn in her heart.
Unless this thorn is removed, she will feel that her thoughts cannot be accessed.
"Elder Sifang's tone is very strict. The reason why he didn't say anything may be because the conditions for opening the Mangekyo Sharingan are very harsh for us."
Fugaku nodded and expressed his opinion.
From the information currently available, we can only guess at such information.
For example, stronger emotional stimulation?
The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is the power that evolved in this way.
If he hadn't been convinced of the character of Elder Shifang, Fugaku would have felt that the so-called Mangekyo Sharingan was really just a legend.
Liuli was not very interested in this topic. As for the Mangekyou Sharingan, she also held the idea of activating the Mangekyō Sharingan. If she couldn't activate it, she would learn celestial arts and use natural energy to fight.
You cannot be induced by power. To be truly powerful, you should turn power into a part of yourself, rather than simply becoming a puppet dominated by power.
The more we know about the infinite possibilities of natural energy, facing this vast and endless world, sometimes human power is really very small.
No matter how powerful a ninja is, he cannot escape from this world. He needs this world to thrive.
People should have awe of the world.
"Well, the person looking for you is here. I won't interrupt your date. Let's talk about it next time we have a chance."
Fugaku turned his head and saw something, smiled at Liuli, and then walked away knowingly.
On the opposite side of the corridor, Shiraishi was standing there. He came to see Liuli.
In the eyes of many Uchiha ninjas, Shiraishi is considered half an Uchiha.
What a genius child adopter.
Although it is not clear why the talented Uchiha girl would like such an ordinary man, I can only say that his taste is unique, and as outsiders, they only need blessings.
Sooner or later, you will have to marry into your family.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Shiraishi can come and go freely in the security team that does not allow people to visit. Occasionally, Uchiha ninjas will greet him, and Shiraishi smiles back at them.
Some Uchiha ninjas have very bad tempers and really arrogant attitudes, and some are also very talkative, at least they don't always say things like 'we Uchiha'.
On the rooftop of the Guard Building.
The breeze blew slowly. Liuli, wearing a black tight-fitting ninja suit, leaned gently on the railing on the edge of the rooftop and asked first: "You are looking for me at this time, are you running out of money?"
"Why do you think it has something to do with money?"
Shiraishi suddenly felt helpless.
"Because every time you come to me suddenly, it's because of money issues."
Liuli is used to this.
"Although funds are indeed a bit tight, it is enough to squander it for now. I have other things to say to you this time."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Since it's not about money, it shouldn't be a very important thing.
"Insect Man and the others found a few remnants of the Uzumaki clan in the Kingdom of Tea."
Shiraishi told this information.
Liuli immediately looked at Baishi's face, and the relaxed posture disappeared from her body.
"Uzumaki clan?"
I want to confirm the authenticity of this information.
"Yes, the Uzumaki clan."
Shiraishi confirmed this.
