Jonin Meeting

Konoha Military Police Force.

"Minister, Izumo Kamizuki Kotetsu Hagane, who were just captured from the tavern this afternoon, have committed suicide. Ebisu is out of danger thanks to timely medical attention."

Uchiha Yoru had just returned to his office, immediately tensed up upon hearing the order. Meanwhile, news of the three people he had just arrested committing suicide had already spread throughout the Konoha Military Police Force.

Should this message be blocked?

The ninja who came to report gave a tentative look, which made Uchiha Yoru's lips twitch. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "No need, just send the message out."

Today's situation is clearly a trap set for him. He committed suicide, and if he continues to suppress the news, he will only be playing into someone else's hands.

"Minister Ye, I heard that one of the prisoners we arrested today committed suicide?"

"Night!"

Then, one by one, the team leaders entered the office, showing expressions of concern, while Uchiha Yoru looked at everyone with a calm expression.

"Since you can all see there's a problem, do you think I wouldn't know?"

Looking at everyone, Uchiha Yoru sneered, "Since someone has made a move, then we'll counterattack."

"Kotetsu Hagane, Kamizuki Izumo, Ebisu, as Konoha Ninja, caused chaos in the tavern and public place, and even detonated Explosive Tag. They were classified as extremely unstable factors and brought back to the Konoha Military Police Force. After that, the three of them behaved abnormally and even attempted suicide."

"The Konoha Military Police Force now suspects that the three were bribed by enemy Spies, which is why they committed such a dangerous act. Now that they have been arrested, the Konoha Military Police Force is afraid of being exposed and the three attempted suicide. Ebisu suicide but failed. The Third Hokage has been ordered to intervene in the investigation with the Anbu."

"Hand Ebisu over to the Anbu and investigate him together with the Konoha Military Police Force!" Uchiha Yoru said coldly.

Although he knew they were acting under orders, he immediately accused these people of treason, also serving as a warning to the other ninjas not to easily become pawns, lest they be crushed to death.

Besides, who would dare to keep Ebisu? Regardless of your reasons, your actions at the tavern today are undeniable. As for the Konoha Military Police Force secretly torturing them, so what?

Now, Uchiha Yoru is being dealt with decisively. Regardless of any reasons, the Konoha Military Police Force's suspicion that he is a traitor is sufficient grounds for judgment.

Meanwhile, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the village that evening.

Three civilian ninjas from Konoha were driven to their deaths by the Konoha Military Police Force, but one of them was rescued with great difficulty.

However, the Konoha Military Police Force immediately posted notices, directly exposing the three individuals. The Konoha Military Police Force then led officers to seal off the homes of all three and arrested them all on suspicion of treason.

The Konoha Military Police Force's domineering style has indeed sparked much discussion, but in the face of such power, most people remain indifferent and watchful.

But this time it's different; it's gotten much bigger, and even after the Konoha Military Police Force were mobilized, it didn't calm down. In fact, it seems to be escalating.

The next day, the incident escalated further, with rumors circulating in the village that the Konoha Military Police Force was acting tyrannically and had become a completely autocratic law enforcement agency.

Konoha Military Police Force.

"At night, Street Protest took place in the village."

Hatake Kakashi reported the situation in the village with a solemn expression, while Uchiha Yoru, sitting at his desk, listened with an indifferent expression as if he hadn't heard anything.

"The families and relatives of Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane went to the Hokage Building in tears, saying that the Konoha Military Police Force had arbitrarily killed ninjas from the same village."

Uchiha Yoru remained calm and composed as he observed the tense situation, until Hatake Kakashi silently withdrew.

On the third day, the situation escalated further, and the wave grew larger, with many ninja family members dissatisfied with the Konoha Military Police Force's enforcement of the law taking to the streets in protest.

On the fourth day, after Uchiha Yoru, Konoha Military Police Force, personally issued a decree, all the unrest in Konoha disappeared, and the so-called Street Protest vanished.

[The families of Konoha 'Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki are hereby expelled from Konoha according to the village's ordinances! Anyone who innocently Street Protest to resist the Konoha Military Police Force is considered to have violated the ordinances established upon the founding of Konoha and may apply to leave Konoha and change their nationality!]

After the overbearing Police Decree was issued, all the patrolling ninjas of the Konoha Military Police Force were mobilized. One sentence: You're dissatisfied? Do you need it? The entire Hidden Leaf Konoha was founded by the Uchiha Clan, who do you think you are!

Uchiha Yoru laid things out straight, telling everyone that Konoha was founded by the Senju and Uchiha, and the rules were established back then. Anyone who disagreed could leave.

The two ordinary ninja clans Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki, became the victims of this incident.

Konoha Military Police Force.

"Brother Yoru, Ebisu falsely accused the Konoha Military Police Force of abusing their power, claiming that they drove Kotetsu Hagane and Kamizuki Izumo to their deaths in order to frame them. Today, Ebisu knelt directly in front of the Hokage Building and went to see the Hokage-sama."

"The Third Hokage was furious upon hearing this and is now preparing to convene Jonin Meeting."

On this day, Uchiha Shisui rushed over to report, while Uchiha Yoru, who was tending to a potted plant in his office, was taken aback upon hearing this, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"So that's why those three good-for-nothings caused such a commotion. They were preparing for this all along. Looks like our Third Hokage is serious this time."

When they strike, it's with overwhelming force.

"Brother Yoru!"

Seeing that Uchiha Yoru remained calm, Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but feel anxious.

Uchiha Yoru, however, smiled easily and waved his hand, saying, "The first rule of the ninja code is: stay calm! No matter where you are or what you encounter, staying calm is the first rule."

Gently placing the potted plant to one side, Uchiha Yoru gazed at the distant shadow of the Hokage Rock, his smile gradually hardening.

"Finally! The opportunity I've been waiting for has arrived! If the Third Hokage elder doesn't make his move soon, I don't know how to proceed, after all, it wasn't easy to gather so many people this time."

"Brother Yoru, the Anbu are here!" Uchiha Shisui also saw the Anbu flashing black dots through the window at this moment.

"Anyone who obstructs the Konoha Military Police Force from performing its duties will be arrested, and those who resist will be killed on the spot!"

Faced with the Third Hokage's attack, Uchiha Yoru was also prepared, whispering to Shisui, "Change requires sacrifice, and now we must minimize the sacrifice..."

Upon hearing the instructions, Uchiha Shisui nodded firmly. "Brother Yoru, I understand! But is Itachi really alright?"

At the last moment, Uchiha Shisui hesitated, "Brother Yoru, you entrusted the most crucial part to Itachi, I'm scared!"

Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Yoru gently shook his head, his eyes revealing an unprecedented firmness. "I firmly believe that no one wants to see the village continue to decay! I firmly believe that my will is correct!"

The office door slowly opened, revealing a group of solemn-looking Konoha Military Police Force ninjas standing outside, all staring at him as if a war would break out at his command.

"Minister Ye!"

"Lord Yoru!"

Amidst the echoing voices of the crowd, Uchiha Yoru calmly straightened his clothes, looked at the crowd, and shouted passionately, "Our will! Will prevail!"

Victory is certain!

Victory is certain!

A deafening roar erupted within the Konoha Military Police Force as Uchiha Yoru calmly issued a series of decrees.

"The Konoha Military Police Force is operating normally, and all Jōnin are attending the village's high-level meeting."

"Yes!"

At midday, under the bright sunlight, black dots flickered on the rooftops of the village, all heading towards the Hokage Building.

The Jonin Meeting is a meeting convened only when major events or decisions are made within the village. The last Jonin Meeting was after the Nine-Tails.

One after another, Jōnin rushed to the scene. Many people had already sensed something was amiss, especially after news spread that Jiraiya and Tsunade, two of the Legendary Sannin, would be attending the Sannin Jonin Meeting. This immediately drew the attention of countless people.

Inside the Hokage Office Building Meeting Room, the four sitting in the chairs were still Konoha's F4: the Third Hokage, Mitokado Homura, Shimura Danzō, and Utatane Koharu.

The huge Meeting Room was packed with Jōnin from the village, all standing still without a single whisper.

Jōnin were in front, Special Jonin were behind. However, countless eyes were fixed on the two figures at the very front: the white-haired, burly hero Jiraiya, and the elegant and graceful Princess Tsunade in white.

"Why isn't the Uchiha here yet!" At this moment, a Jōnin who was affiliated with the Sarutobi Clan forced himself to lower his head and grumble.

He did this to curry favor; otherwise, why would he hire him?

Once someone spoke, others naturally began to discuss it, and the once quiet Meeting Room was filled with chatter. This scene, however, seemed to go unnoticed by the four members of the Konoha F4 sitting at the head of the table, who remained calm and composed.

However, at this moment, a cold snort suddenly rang out, and the Meeting Room instantly fell silent. All eyes turned to look at the noble Princess Tsunade, who was looking at everyone with disdain, as if she were a group of clowns.

"Tsunade!"

Seeing this, Jiraiya couldn't help but shake his head and rub his forehead. Tsunade's personality was even more unrestrained than before. He really didn't know what would happen to the village in the future.

Tsunade's willful behavior was naturally noticed by the Konoha F4, with Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura showing their dissatisfaction. However, Tsunade ignored them, her eyes filled with only contempt.

"Shizune, go get a chair."

Hokage Meeting Room, apart from the Konoha High Council F4, there were no other chairs available. However, after Tsunade said something, Shizune awkwardly lowered her head and went to the front to move a chair over.

Some people wanted to say something, but dared not speak. Even Jiraiya pretended not to see it, acting as if he hadn't seen anything.

This scene caused Hiruzen Sarutobi to frown slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Princess Tsunade's status, these things weren't considered out of line.

Just then, a series of rapid footsteps sounded outside the door, drawing everyone's attention to the entrance.

"Creak!"

The door was pushed open, and the figures who pushed it open were members of the Genma Squad, followed by a dense array of figures appearing in an orderly fashion.

The moment this scene unfolded, countless people were shocked, and many even felt a chill run down their spines.

All that could be Jōnin were countless Jōnin, including members of the Uchiha, Aburame, and Hyuga Branch Family, as well as numerous civilian ninjas.

Surrounded by a crowd of stars, Uchiha Yoru walked at the very front, his clattering footsteps striking the hearts of everyone present as the group slowly Jonin Meeting room, their movements as graceful as a fish restaurant.

The visual impact of this scene was so great that even Jiraiya was stunned Jiraiya a moment, then couldn't help but shake his head helplessly and say, "This! This really Uchiha!"

It really does fit the arrogant entrance of the Uchiha Clan.

As soon as everyone rushed into the Jonin Meeting room, a strange scene unfolded. The group formed a single, orderly group, with many exchanging bewildered glances, while most remained observing from the sidelines.

"In just three years, this kid has already reached this level, even stronger than Orochimaru!"

Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and whispered to Tsunade beside him. Tsunade snorted disdainfully. "Noble Houses family should naturally have proper etiquette. But this kid is really something. No wonder he can make the old man feel troubled."

In just three years, they've already gathered so many people. If they continue to develop for another three years, most of Konoha will probably fall into their hands.

"Uchiha Yoru! Your Konoha Military Police Force is suspected of creating chaos within the village and even coercing fellow village ninjas. The Third Hokage has now convened Jonin Meeting to publicly try your actions, all in order to restore peace to Konoha."

A Sarutobi Clan ninja immediately showed his dissatisfaction, angrily pointing at the Uchiha Side and speaking.

Uchiha Yoru, who had just entered the Meeting Room, smiled disdainfully, slowly spread his arms, looked at the Third Hokage, and laughed, "It seems the Sarutobi Clan is no longer satisfied with being the second clan of Konoha."

The so-called high-level meeting caught everyone off guard; no one expected the Third Hokage to act so quickly.

Similarly Uchiha Yoru, with a broad smile, directly stated everything, telling everyone to stop with trivial matters and get straight to the point.

This move drew the attention of countless neutral Jōnin, since those who had gone this far were not fools and naturally understood the conflict between the two sides.

Therefore, Uchiha Yoru's open and frank expression of his purpose is more easily accepted, while those who hide their intentions and dare not show them are considered inferior.

Playing by the rules!

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly as he looked at the proud young man before him, but a calm smile appeared on his face as he waved his hand.

"Now that almost everyone has arrived, let's get down to business! I'm holding this Jonin Meeting today for only two matters."

"The first matter concerns the impact of the Konoha Military Police Force's development in recent years on the village. The second matter is that I am getting old, and I have decided to initiate the selection of the Fifth Hokage."

Since you, Uchiha Yoru, don't play by the rules, then I'll cut to the chase and get straight to the point.

Aside from politics, Hiruzen Sarutobi's biggest grievance over the years has been his refusal to step down from his position. His sudden revelation of this has startled many.

At the same time, the discontent in the hearts of countless people is also dissipating. In everyone's eyes, with the Third Hokage stepping down and a new Hokage being appointed, the village may change.

Human dissatisfaction can sometimes be extremely harsh, but at other times it can be incredibly magnanimous.

At that moment, as everyone gazed upon the Third's full head of white hair and age spots, countless people were reminded of the old man's past contributions to the village.

During this exchange, Uchiha Yoru's calm face revealed nothing, but inwardly he sneered. The old man's methods were truly cunning. If he hadn't known that the old man had laid out many contingency plans in the original story, he probably would have been at a disadvantage today.

The outcome is far from decided; our game has only just begun. Do you really think that throwing out a prelude to the selection of a Fifth Hokage can deflect attention from political defeat? How laughable!

I feel much better. In two or three days at most, we'll definitely resume normal updates!
