Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 141 Uchiha Shou 1, Punches the Unscrupulous Merchant!

Uchiha Shouichi pushed aside the wailing and crying vendor and said loudly, "You blocked the public passage and ignored three warnings from the police department! This indirectly caused a carriage accident. Your illegal gains for today are confiscated, and you are fined three thousand taels and sentenced to five days of imprisonment for education."

The next moment, the shill behind him helped the stall owner, who had collapsed to the ground, up and whispered, "Pay more, and I can help you get out of jail!"

For these street vendors, losing a day means even greater economic losses.

They had no choice but to admit defeat.

Konoha's unscrupulous merchants, accustomed to breaking the rules, immediately felt uncomfortable when faced with the stricter Uchiha clan.

Soon, Uchiha Shouichi managed to collect a fine of over 300,000 ryo.

These aren't the biggest cases; the real big shots are all locked up in the police department's prisons.

...

Joint law enforcement action to crack down on illegal activities.

Initiated jointly by the Senju and Uchiha clans, the aim is to restore peace to the village and eliminate uncivilized practices in business.

After receiving guidance from You Shu, Shouyi first spent the morning issuing a warning to most of the merchants and vendors in the village.

After the warning, they raided the house that afternoon!

Any vendor who disregarded the police department suffered the righteous iron fist of Uchiha Moriichi.

At the same time, the Senju family informed its subordinate families in advance to cooperate with the police department's crackdown operation.

The core area of ​​the village remained untouched, without any major disturbances.

However, it still caused quite a bit of controversy, even reaching Hiruzen Sarutobi's office.

After all, not all clans receive advance notice from the Senju and Uchiha.

Amidst the swirling smoke at the Hokage's desk, a chaotic argument raged in his office.

A slow but firm footstep silenced everyone.

"Lord Hokage!"

"Sandaime-sama!"

In the Hokage's office, the visitor was none other than the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

At this moment, his dark circles were quite pronounced; he had just finished working overtime for two days and two nights before being called back to the office.

Unexpectedly, another incident occurred in the village.

"Tell me, what happened this time?"

Everyone present showed their anger and condemned the actions of the police department.

"Lord Hokage, the police department has gone too far! They launched an indiscriminate attack on all the shops in the village, and many innocent merchants have been arrested and imprisoned!"

"This surveillance is harming the village's future!!"

"What authority does the police department have to arrest people?"

"Lord Hokage, please order the innocent merchants to be released!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi listened to the commotion around him and roughly understood that the police department had arrested a bunch of businessmen.

What was Yuuki's strategy for establishing authority after his speech?

Are they using the shops within the village as targets to establish their authority?

This has caused considerable damage to the village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia for Tomishiro.

When Fu Cheng established his authority, it was to establish authority within his family, not to abuse the power of the police department.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is having another headache.

There's never a moment's peace!

Although Yuuki went a bit too far, it really is the Uchiha's responsibility to catch illegal businessmen.

"Hey!"

"What are you all doing blocking the way?"

"What shady conspiracy is behind preventing people from entering the Hokage's office?"

Tsunade shouted a few times, her arrogant voice clearly reaching everyone's ears.

Everyone present made way for them.

"Ahem, Tsunade, you're here? What's going on here?" Hiruzen Sarutobi pointed at the crowd, looking completely clueless.

Having seen through the old man's irresponsible nature long ago, Tsunade didn't show anything.

If you're disappointed, then it doesn't matter anymore.

"Lord Hokage, this is an operation by the police department, the first time the Senju and Uchiha have cooperated, and it will greatly benefit the future of the village!"

Tsunade turned to the others, hands on her hips, and angrily rebuked them, "You've come here without even knowing the facts to seduce the Hokage. Are you plotting to destroy the village?"

"Guards, arrest them and interrogate them!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had just picked up his pipe, had a look of surprise in his eyes.

Because, in fact, a thousand-handed ninja appeared and arrested a group of people!

Tsunade is getting serious!

not kidding!

Tsunade didn't care at all what these people thought.

The police department had already given advance notice of the operation.

In the morning, the Uchiha ninjas specifically notified the operation to avoid escalating the impact.

As a result, people are still being arrested?

They are either disobedient allies or enemies in the struggle.

In either case, a strong response is warranted!

"Tsunade, that's going too far. Everyone is just expressing their opinions; there's no need to make a big deal out of it."

Seeing the situation getting chaotic, Sarutobi Miki, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward to try and calm things down.

"Expressing your own opinion? Trying to use numbers to interfere with the Hokage's judgment and the police department's law enforcement, is that what you call a personal opinion?"

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was protecting the power of the police department.

This group is challenging the authority of the police department.

Old man, what would you choose?

"Tsunade, maintaining the village's safety is the most important thing. Shouldn't the police department's actions be toned down a bit?"

After quickly listening to the brief report from the Anbu, Hiruzen Sarutobi gently advised, "Our fellow villagers are not familiar with many of the laws of the police department."

Tsunade, who has formed a united front with Yuuki, is not as easy to talk to as before.

Within the village, the voice belonging to the Thousand Hands must continue to resonate.

We must not yield an inch when faced with power that we previously looked down upon!

"Is this the village's decision? Does the village intend to question the police department's actions as reasonable?"

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could speak, Tsunade blocked a path.

Interfering with the normal operation of the ninja clan's authority?

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't do it, and he wouldn't dare to!

With the power of the Hokage, suppressing one or even several clans would be no problem at all.

However, if anyone attempts to challenge the bottom line of the ninja clan, even the Hokage must back down.

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent, a nameless rage rising within him.

The teacher did nothing wrong.

The ninja clan is indeed an obstacle to the village!
