This Uchiha Is Truly Evil!

"So, how do you think Uchiha Qianyu should be dealt with?"

"That should be Lord Hokage's decision..."

"I'm asking for your opinion."

"I... I think he can be imprisoned for a while to reflect on his sins."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pressed, "You're not going to kill him?"

Kakashi Hatake remained silent.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.

"I understand."

What he understood was Kakashi Hatake's stance.

Although he was still loyal to Konoha, like Uchiha Qianyu, he was a guy with his own principles and justice...

People like this were not like Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, easily manipulated at his will.

Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi Hatake both had their own agendas.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't truly made a decision yet.

Just then, the door was knocked for the third time.

"Lord Hokage."

"Is that Elephant? Come in."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's personal Anbu guard, "Elephant," walked in.

"Lord Hokage, the envoy from Kumogakure has arrived in the village."

"Really? They came this quickly?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed.

Although a full-scale war had not broken out at this time, localized battles between Konohagakure and Kumogakure were still ongoing.

This was the aftermath of the Third Great Ninja War.

It was also the inevitable consequence of Konoha's loss of talent and heavy casualties after the Nine-Tails' Rampage.

However, under Hiruzen Sarutobi's "efforts," Kumogakure was finally planning to sign a ceasefire agreement with Konoha recently.

For Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was facing both internal and external troubles...

This was a tremendous piece of good news.

After all, one must pacify the internal affairs before dealing with external threats.

The one he wanted to deal with most now was not Kumogakure, but the deep-seated threat within the village that had persisted since its founding...

The Uchiha clan!

For this, he did not hesitate to cede countless powers and sacrifice countless interests in the negotiations with Kumogakure to obtain this ceasefire agreement.

As for the reputation of being weak?

He didn't care.

Externally, he had always claimed that it was for peace, stability, and development.

'I am not weak, merely benevolent.'

For a moment, with various matters piling up, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but feel increasingly overwhelmed.

But he was, after all, a shrewd strategist, and he quickly forced himself to pull himself together.

"Uchiha Qianyu will be temporarily detained. Don't touch him, but don't let him run wild either!"

"Now, the negotiations with Kumogakure are the top priority."

"After this matter is resolved, we will deal with him and the Uchiha clan."

Kakashi Hatake and Uchiha Shisui exchanged glances.

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly stood up, as if he had regained his vitality, even possessing more authority and presence than his usual kind and amiable self.

"Let's go, you two will accompany me to meet the envoy from Kumogakure!"

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

"The envoy from Kumogakure?"

Qianyu heard about it from the returning Uchiha Yamikaze and felt a slight stir in his heart.

He knew, of course, the true purpose of the Kumogakure envoy.

Even more so, he knew...

What disgusting and dirty things Hiruzen Sarutobi would do!

In his past life, the things he couldn't understand the most, besides the two born prodigies Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito...

This was Hiruzen Sarutobi's brilliant move, the so-called...

Hyuga Hizashi Incident!

Chapter 39: Qianyu's Ultimate Goal!

Uchiha Yamikaze gazed at the pensive Captain Qianyu...

He was now the true Captain of the Police Force, no longer just his superior.

"Captain, what about the Kumogakure envoy group?"

"You seem quite concerned..."

Qianyu shook his head.

"How is Aoki?"

Uchiha Yamikaze offered a heartfelt smile.

"Much better. Although he hasn't woken up yet, the doctors say he's out of mortal danger."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to come visit you, Captain..."

"That's good."

Qianyu also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Captain, thank you..."

"Don't say such nonsense."

Uchiha Yamikaze chuckled, scratching his head. "That's true..."

"However, this whole chaotic mess was indeed because Aoki and I were too young and naive, falling for those villains' tricks..."

Qianyu said gravely, "I've told you both, never blame yourselves. Blame the villains."

"They plotted meticulously; you can't always be on guard."

"Captain is right, I understand..."

"Um... Captain, did you really awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan?"

"Yes."

"Hiss... I really wish I could see the magnificence of Captain's Mangekyo Sharingan on the battlefield..."

Uchiha Yamikaze was filled with admiration.

The Mangekyo Sharingan was not a power that could be easily controlled, coming with immense risks and costs.

However, Qianyu had no intention of explaining much to this young man.

Uchiha Yamikaze suddenly hesitated, as if wanting to say something.

"Go on."

"...Actually, I'm very curious. Since Captain possesses such powerful abilities, why don't you directly break ties with those people?"

"For example, that bastard Uchiha Shisui, and..."

At this point, Uchiha Yamikaze still felt a bit nervous, cautiously glancing around at the surrounding darkness.

Qianyu understood his meaning perfectly.

"Yamikaze, I've said that rather than treating you as my subordinates, I prefer to see you as..."

"Followers who will inherit my will."

Yamikaze nodded. "I know, and we... are certainly your followers, Captain!"

"Therefore, besides improving your own strength, you also need to think more, ponder more."

"Think?"

"Precisely."

Qianyu spoke at length, his words carrying weight, which was rare.

"I have indeed gained power, but this does not mean the entire Uchiha clan has power."

"True, if a person is strong enough, they can command absolute authority in this cruel ninja world."

"However, I am ultimately not that powerful."

"Let alone others, I don't even have a guaranteed victory against Uchiha Shisui."

Uchiha Yamikaze snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Is that damn traitor really that strong?"

Qianyu said sternly, "Never underestimate your enemy."

"Uchiha Shisui's strength is by no means simple. His Fire Style Ninjutsu, shurikenjutsu, and the combined Nintaijutsu Sword Dance Flame, coupled with his renowned Body Flicker Technique, not to mention the ultimate Genjutsu that comes with his dual Mangekyo Sharingan..."
