And yet...
"Ah!"
One scream after another suddenly rang out through the night sky.
Countless onlookers were instantly scared out of their wits. Some even fainted on the spot...
"What happened?"
The gambler turned around curiously.
Only to discover that the world before his eyes was spinning on its own...
Th-that headless figure was...
Me?!
C-could it be...
Thud.
A human head rolled across the ground, its eyes still wide open in death. Even at the end, he did not understand what had happened. All he could see was the sole of that man's shoe stomping down hard on his head!
"C-Captain Qianyu!"
"You..."
Uchiha Qianyu, Squad Captain of the Leaf Village Security Force, stepped on the rolling head and brought it to a stop. His gaze was icy, utterly without a ripple.
[You successfully helped a gambler quit gambling. Good deed. Merit Points +10!]
Chapter 2: Reuniting a Family of Three!
Listening to the prompt in his mind, Uchiha Qianyu remained expressionless and merely nodded coldly.
Ever since transmigrating into the Uchiha clan, he had not possessed any cheat ability for all these years.
However, through desperate training, Uchiha Qianyu had still awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan, become a Jonin, successfully entered the Police Force, and even been promoted to Squad Captain.
Yet Uchiha Qianyu understood better than anyone that the so-called Three Tomoe Sharingan and the so-called Jonin were not worth mentioning before truly formidable strength.
He remembered clearly that the Uchiha clan's three Jonin—Yashiro Uchiha, Tekka Uchiha, and Inabi Uchiha—had all been considered among the clan's finest.
Yet when facing Uchiha Itachi, who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, they had still all been instantly defeated!
That was the enormous gap in strength, like an impassable chasm.
Without the appearance of a cheat ability, it would be very difficult for Uchiha Qianyu himself to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Because...
He did not feel the slightest sense of belonging to this world.
He had neither parents nor wife and children. The so-called clan members, friends, and companions were merely strangers with some connection to him.
Even if they all died, he would not feel much emotional turmoil.
Without love to begin with, how could he speak of losing it?
Someone as cold as him naturally had no opportunity to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Until...
Not long ago, he had finally activated his cheat ability.
It was called the "Merit System."
As the name implied, as long as he performed various good deeds, he could earn Merit Points and improve all of his powers.
For Qianyu, there could not have been a system more suitable than this.
After all, he was already a member of the Police Force, responsible for maintaining public order throughout Konoha.
Moreover, in his previous life, he had also worked in law enforcement. It was just that...
In that law-governed society, it had been impossible to use excessively extreme methods.
But precisely because of that, even when he clearly knew those evil people were guilty, he had still often been unable to bring them to justice for various reasons.
Even Qianyu's death had been closely connected to this very issue.
After transmigrating into Uchiha Qianyu, although he knew full well that this ninja world was even darker, his heart had instead grown increasingly ecstatic...
Because he could finally uphold justice in the name of heaven, openly and righteously.
From then on, an Uchiha clan member who was righteous to a fault was born!
Even Fugaku Uchiha found him an enormous headache and deeply troublesome.
Though it was for the sake of maintaining public order, Uchiha Qianyu's methods were simply too extreme...
But he never cared. Whenever Fugaku Uchiha, the clan head and Commander of the Police Force, was dissatisfied with Qianyu's actions, he would always shut him up with a single sentence.
"Everything I do is for justice."
Thus, Fugaku Uchiha was left speechless.
At this moment, Uchiha Qianyu still firmly believed in this and resolutely carried out his convictions.
"Ahhh!"
At the sight of that rolling head, a heart-rending scream shook everyone's eardrums.
"Y-you bastard, what have you done?!"
"Even if my husband was worse than a beast, he was still my husband!"
"You demon, you actually killed him just like that..."
"How am I supposed to go on living?!"
"I-I'll fight you!"
The one who screamed miserably and lunged at Qianyu was unexpectedly Haruko, the woman whom that gambling-addicted husband had brutally beaten...
For a moment, not only did the onlookers pity her misfortune and resent her for failing to fight back, but even the two Police Force members beside Qianyu were stunned...
She was actually defending a man like that?!
Pitiful people always had something hateful about them...
That saying Captain Qianyu often used really fucking made sense!
Haruko roared like a madwoman as she charged at Uchiha Qianyu.
A pair of scissors even appeared in her hand, which she viciously thrust down at Qianyu!
The sound of the blade tearing through flesh made everyone's blood run cold.
The next instant...
Haruko also collapsed to the ground.
A bloody hole in her back spewed blood wildly outward, quickly staining her clothes red before flowing onto the ground and dyeing the soil crimson.
"C-Captain!"
"W-what did you do again?!"
The two Police Force subordinates abruptly clutched their heads, unable to believe the scene before them.
Killing that beastly gambling addict was one thing...
But now, he had even killed this woman named Haruko?!
Th-this was going too far!
Even the clan head could never accept this, right?!
The surrounding onlookers were even more dumbfounded, sucking in cold breaths.
Uchiha Qianyu merely said coldly, "She attacked first. I was only forced to defend myself."
"You two, bring their bodies to the Police Force and report the matter truthfully to the clan head."
The two subordinates were terrified out of their wits...
What did he mean, she attacked first? Though it was indeed true, but...
Who would believe that an ordinary Konoha resident, especially such a miserable woman, could possibly injure a Jonin of the Uchiha clan?!
Who the hell would believe such an explanation if they reported it?!
Yet Uchiha Qianyu did not care in the slightest.
After settling the matter, he strode away under everyone's dumbfounded and terrified gazes.
[You successfully helped Haruko's family reunite in the Pure Land of the afterlife. Good deed. Merit Points +10!]
Uchiha Qianyu: "..."
Even with his heart of stone and righteousness to a fault, he was still somewhat speechless at this system.
He did not care about other people's opinions.
The problem was...
There was no need for this piece of junk to turn it into such a hellish joke, was there?!
Uchiha Qianyu shook his head and continued alone through the pitch-black night, setting out to patrol Konoha.
