This Uchiha Zheng's Evil Hair!

"However, he does have quite a few fanatical followers..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up slightly.

"Then, let's start with those followers."

"Lord Hokage's meaning is..."

"The Police Force, after all, it's perfectly normal for something to happen, for them to encounter some danger..."

Shinnosuke Sarutobi understood tacitly.

"I understand."

Qianyu temporarily handed over his duties in the Police Force.

Amid the complex gazes of the crowd, he left the Police Force.

He returned to his home, feeling neither sorrow nor much indignation, and quickly resumed his training.

Killing Sarutobi Hiogo had earned him one hundred merit points, the highest he had ever received.

He poured them all into the eye power of his Sharingan.

Now, his eye power had reached 473 points, only halfway from awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Of course, even with Three Tomoe, his eye power far surpassed that of ordinary ninjas.

The Uchiha clan's Sharingan was driven by extreme emotions.

Although Qianyu claimed to be cold and emotionless, his extreme sense of justice itself was a form of emotion.

Fighting in the name of absolute justice, he could unleash terrifying eye power beyond imagination.

The Sharingan possessed three basic abilities: insight, copying, and genjutsu.

Qianyu naturally had all of them.

However, every Uchiha clan member's Sharingan was different, with its own emphasis.

For example, Qianyu's strongest eye power lay in insight.

Especially in battle, he could fully perceive all of his enemy's attacks, and to a certain extent, even predict their movements in advance!

In contrast, his copying ability was merely average.

He was not particularly skilled in genjutsu, but he was exceptionally adept at breaking them.

Of course, his so-called lack of skill in genjutsu was relative to his unparalleled "insight" ability.

A Sharingan was still a Sharingan.

He still possessed powerful genjutsu capabilities.

At this moment, Qianyu quietly trained while reviewing his previous battle.

Sarutobi Hiogo was by no means simple.

The reason he had been able to kill him in such a short time was, first, the astonishing insight of his Sharingan, which precisely dodged the opponent's attacks and predicted his responses, catching him off guard.

Second, it was his unexpected Lightning Release: False Darkness technique, which not only took the enemy by surprise but also possessed terrifying power.

Finally, it still relied on his most proficient swordsmanship!

"The insight emphasized by the Sharingan and my refined swordsmanship—these are my current foundations."

"If I want to improve further..."

"Aside from eye power, chakra, and ninjutsu itself, there's one direction I'm eagerly anticipating..."

What Qianyu wanted was...

To infuse Lightning Style Ninjutsu into his katana, forming a truly powerful Lightning Style Body Technique!

Or rather...

Lightning Style Sword Technique!

Uchiha Sasuke's Chidori Blade, Shimura Danzō's Wind Style: Vacuum Blade, and others all followed this principle.

Originally, Fire Style could also be attached to blades, such as Uchiha Shisui's Sword Dance Flame, which combined Fire Style with swordsmanship.

However, for Qianyu, that seemed less meaningful; he believed Lightning Style suited him better.

"Since I'm temporarily relieved of duty, I'll focus on developing Lightning Style Sword Technique first..."

"Justice without the power to back it up..."

"Is worthless."

During the days when Uchiha Qianyu was suspended from duty.

The entire village seemed much calmer.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi could strip Qianyu of his position in the Police Force...

But he could not stop the voices of the people.

By now, in the eyes of many villagers and ninjas, Uchiha Qianyu was no longer an extreme, twisted demon, but had instead become an "anti-hero" who would stop at nothing for justice!

Within the Uchiha clan, his fervent followers grew ever more numerous, their emotions running higher and higher...

And this surging undercurrent of black flames made Hiruzen Sarutobi deeply uneasy.

Thus...

A conspiracy targeting Qianyu erupted.

Chapter 19: Trap!

After a stretch of seemingly peaceful days.

On this day.

Uchiha Aoki and Uchiha Yamikaze were conducting their routine patrol.

"It's so dull without the captain around..." Aoki couldn't help but sigh.

Yamikaze shot him a glare. "Weren't you the one always saying the captain was too extreme?"

"And that he couldn't see the big picture, always causing trouble for the Uchiha clan and the Police Force?"

Aoki broke out in a cold sweat and quickly covered Yamikaze's mouth.

"Shh!"

"Don't talk nonsense—if the captain finds out, I'm done for!"

"Besides, I'm not the only one who said that. Didn't you complain too?"

Yamikaze pried his fingers away and snorted. "That was when I was naive."

"Now I fully understand the captain. His way is the right choice!"

Aoki nodded as well. "Sigh, I wonder when the captain will come back..."

"As for Lord Hokage..."

At that, both fell into a tacit silence.

Just then.

A commotion erupted ahead, as if a fierce struggle had broken out.

The two exchanged a glance.

"Let's go!"

Though young, they had followed Qianyu for many years and possessed sharp instincts and decisiveness.

The scene before them shocked their eyes.

A full five or six Konoha ninjas were frenziedly beating and abusing a female kunoichi!

Blow after blow landed like a violent storm.

The female kunoichi's screams were hysterical and pitiful.

What's more, Aoki and Yamikaze had never seen these five or six ninjas before. Though they wore Konoha forehead protectors, their identities were unknown.

"Stop!"

Aoki couldn't hold back and roared, rushing forward to stop the atrocity.

Though Yamikaze felt a flicker of doubt, seeing Aoki charge ahead, he could only sigh and hurry to support him.

"Who are you people?"

"What are you doing?!"

One ninja looked up and said coldly, "The Police Force?"

"This doesn't concern you!"

"Mind your own business!"

"Get lost!"

With that, he unhesitatingly continued pummeling the female kunoichi.

"H-help...!"

The female kunoichi's desperate pleas were heart-wrenching.

Aoki's blood boiled. With a roar, he sent a volley of shuriken flying.

Bang bang bang!

The ninjas were startled and dodged aside, while Aoki seized the chance to dash over, placing himself between them and the female kunoichi to shield her.

"Are you alright?"
