In Konoha Village.
The moon was still hanging on the horizon, and the sun had already risen from the horizon, bringing with it a brilliant morning glow.
It was another busy day.
Early in the morning, Sandaime, who was already in his early sixties, came to Hokage’s building on time with his big tobacco pipe in his mouth.
When he entered the office and just sat on a chair, Sandaime summoned the two Anbu codenamed Taka and Shu.
“How is the situation on Uchiha’s side?”
The first thing he asked about was the matter of Uchiha’s clan.
After all, those guys were really too troublesome.
Taka immediately reported,
“Uchiha Dan’s gym has moved to the police department building. The workers are renovating. During this period of time, Uchiha’s staff has been operating in the drill ground. They have not taken a step out of the territory and we have not found any abnormalities for the time being.”
“Yes.”
Sandaime nodded as he listened, feeling a little more at ease.
He had promised Shisui before that he would reduce the monitoring of Uchiha clan. Now, it seemed that this decision was correct, freeing up a lot of Anbu’s manpower.
So after thinking for a while, he ordered Taka,
“From now on, only one surveillance post and two groups of Anbu personnel will be left to monitor Uchiha every day.”
“Yes.” Taka accepted the order and left in a hurry.
Then, Sandaime smoked a cigarette bag, leaned against the chair, and asked Shu who was waiting at the side,
“How is the situation of the new police department? Is everything going well?”
“Reporting to Lord Hokage, Hyuga’s clan has already taken over the work of the police department, and they are full of energy. Under the joint efforts of Hyuga and the other families’ ninjas, the previous suppressed cases have been effectively dealt with. The order of the village has also been restored to stability, and the level of security has been greatly improved.”
Shu reported this good news to Sandaime.
Hearing this, Sandaime could not help but reveal a gratified smile. He nodded and said,
“It seems that Hyuga has done well. This way, when the new police department is on the right track, the village will become better and better.”
After saying that, he stood up and came to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
From here, more than half of Konoha’s scenery could be seen.
At this time, the sun rose and the bright sunlight shone on the village. The pedestrians on the streets were woven and filled with thick smoke. It was a flourishing scene.
Seeing this scene, Sandaime couldn’t help but sigh in his heart:
It was finally better.
In the past few years.
Konoha first welcomed the most tragic third world war in history. He fought with the other four villages with the strength of one village. After paying a painful price, he won with difficulty.
Then he experienced the chaos of Kyubi, lost the glorious fourth generation Hokage, and Kyubi Jinchuriki.
Even with the deep foundation that Konoha had accumulated over the years, under such continuous torment, he had also lost all of his talents.
Therefore.
After re-inheriting the throne, Sandaime decided on a strategy of biding his time.
During this period of time, facing the greatest threat from the outside, Kumogakure, he chose to endure the humiliation, allowing Konoha to avoid falling into another war.
In the face of the biggest threat inside – the Uchiha clan.
He also handled it perfectly, and without falling out with Uchiha, he marginalized the clan and took back the power of the police department.
Now, these internal and external problems were solved.
What this old man should worry about next was the next generation of Konoha Village.
Every time the Ninja World War ended, there would be a baby tide.
In a few years, Konoha’s new generation of seedlings would grow strong, becoming the future pillar of the village.
At that time, Konoha’s strength would return to its peak and he would no longer be afraid of any enemies and challenges.
Thinking of this.
Sandaime decided to go and see Naruto first. The latter had been under the tight protection of Anbu since he was targeted by a suspicious ninja from the outside village.
After seeing Naruto, he still had to go to the Ninja School to inspect and give a speech as the principal.
At that time, if he found a good seedling who had gone astray, such as the one who beat up Chunin and Sensei in public, he would pull him back from the edge of the cliff in time and teach him with the will of fire.
After all.
Sandaime did not want to see a second Uchiha appear in the village.
After making the schedule for today.
This Lord Hokage immediately got busy and began the day he dedicated to Konoha.
In the village.
Located on the west side of Ichiraku avenue, near the riverside of Konoha, Hyuga’s territory was in a state of prosperity.
In just two days.
With the help of Anbu Tenzo’s Wood Release, a prison had been built here to imprison more than two hundred criminals who had been taken over from Uchiha.
In addition, there was also a luxurious and imposing police department building, which was also being built with great fanfare. It was estimated that it would be completed in half a month at the earliest.
During this period of time, hundreds of staff members of the police department were working in a temporary building.
Just now.
The new symbol of the police department had been hung on the front of the building, attracting the attention of passers-by.
It was a huge yellow Shuriken. The red emblem of Hyuga’s clan was engraved in the middle. It was a magatama with its tail facing upwards, but it was also like a burning flame.
Of course, there were also people who privately said that Hyuga’s clan badge was a bit like a… big deal.
But it didn’t matter.
No matter what, the symbol of the police department was a symbol of power, and it was enough to make every Hyuga clansman feel proud.
At the entrance of the building, there were people coming in and out.
Among them were Hyuga’s clansmen and ninjas from other families. There were patrols, and there were also people who came to interview. There were also civilian staff members.
It was quite busy.
At this time.
On the rooftop of this building.
As the new captain of the police department, Hyuga Hiashi did not stay in the office. Instead, he went to the roof.
Because in this place, he could overlook the entire situation of Konoha.
Byakugan, open!
As Hiashi made a seal, his eyes immediately turned green and white, and black marks appeared in his eyes. At the same time, large amounts of blue veins popped up beside his eyes.
Using this pair of eyes, he looked down from above and observed the movements of the pedestrians on the nearby streets.
Everyone knew that there were two great blood families of Dōjutsu in Konoha Village. They were Uchiha and Hyuga, Sharingan and Byakugan.
Among them.
Not only could Sharingan improve the body functions and give the user a powerful dynamic vision, but it could also release Genjutsu. It was suitable for fighting and interrogation. It was born for fighting.
In comparison, Byakugan was more suitable for scouting and monitoring.
Byakugan’s ability to see far was to use chakra to double the ability of the eyes, allowing him to see everything within a kilometer.
On this basis, coupled with Byakugan’s X-ray vision, he could easily detect abnormal chakra, thus discovering suspicious people hidden in the group.
In addition.
Byakugan also had a 360-degree perspective. When Hyuga’s police were patrolling on the streets, it was enough to make the criminal behavior obvious.
Sandaime said that Hyuga was more suitable for the work of the police department than Uchiha. It was not a casual remark, but there was basis and reason.
Moreover.
Although the population of the Hyuga clan is not as large as that of the Uchiha, they are born with Byakugan, and they don’t need to open their eyes like Sharingan.
Therefore, Hyuga’s ninjas were not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers compared to Uchiha.
In these two days.
Hyuga Hiashi inspected Konoha village. Finally, they set up ten sentry posts at each high point of the village. Two Hyuga clansmen were in a group, taking turns to monitor Byakugan.
In this way, a huge monitoring net was formed, taking in the entire village’s situation in full view.
Hyuga Hiashi was full of ambition.
He made a grand and detailed plan to turn the police department into a golden signboard for Hyuga, so that all the villagers could see that Hyuga could do much better than Uchiha.
By the way, speaking of Uchiha.
A few days ago, this group deliberately played badly, thinking that the village would be fine without them, but in the blink of an eye, the newly established police department restored order in the village.
This group of arrogant, conceited, and condescending fellows, what were they feeling at this moment?
Thinking of this.
Hiashi cast his gaze in the direction of Uchiha clan.
He saw that on the street, the shop was deserted, with only a few pedestrians walking back and forth, looking cold and desolate.
Heh.
He couldn’t help but laugh coldly in his heart.
Uchiha had been marginalized and became like this. It was completely their own doing, not worthy of any sympathy.
On the contrary, it made people feel happy.
Not only Hyuga, almost every Konoha villager thought that Konoha, without Uchiha, was the Konoha that everyone really wanted.
A peaceful and beautiful village.
Hyuga Hiashi withdrew his gaze and no longer cared about Uchiha’s clan as much as before.
From now on.
Let Uchiha and the others hide in a dark corner and watch Hyuga’s clan shine brightly and become Konoha’s number one clan!
…
In the vast primeval forest in the north of the country of fire.
A group of ninjas with a hundred people was marching north along a deserted route.
Looking down from mid-air, the speed of this troop was as fast as the wind, and the overall formation was in the shape of “Y”. Their movements were not scattered, and they did not make any sound.
Such strict discipline and powerful execution.
Even the five great Ninja Village would find it difficult to form such an elite troop.
Because this was the number one Ninja in the world, Uchiha.
It had been almost twelve hours since midnight last night.
Uchiha traveled several hundred miles in one breath and finally stopped at noon. They rested in the forest for a while.
The clansmen quietly replenished their rations, drank water, and then closed their eyes to recover their strength.
“Izumi, can you still hold on?”
Itachi came to the side of Izumi and handed his kettle to the latter.
Although Izumi opened Three Tomoe Sharingan, she was not good at using her own eye power. Moreover, she had just become Genin not long ago, so she lacked a lot of experience as a ninja.
This time, they rushed through the night. If not for Itachi taking care of Izumi and teaching her how to use the most efficient way to travel, the little girl would probably be exhausted by now.
In the face of Itachi’s concern, Izumi blushed, but she boldly looked straight into his eyes and clenched her fist.
“I have no problem!”
Seeing Izumi being so enthusiastic, Itachi looked worried.
He thought for a moment and said to Izumi earnestly,
“I’m afraid that it will be more dangerous for us to attack Uchiha Madara’s nest this time. When the time comes, you must be careful. If you encounter any trouble, you must protect yourself. Because I might not be able to take care of you.”
“Yes.” Izumi nodded. Her heart felt warm. The tension and exhaustion that she had originally felt had also disappeared.
Shisui looked at the couple and smiled. He did not disturb them.
He turned his head and looked at Dan’s ‘Doctor’, who was resting on the grass.
Whoosh.
Shisui’s Mangekyo was quietly turned on, and looking at the back of the other party, there was a lot of surprise and doubt in his eyes.
