"Shisui, what are you doing here?"
At last, one of the Security Division captains had no choice but to grit his teeth and greet Uchiha Shisui. Although his tone was filled with wariness, distrust, and even contempt, Shisui would not care about his attitude now that he had willingly come here. He only wanted to finish his job.
"I'm here to handle a village brawl..." Uchiha Shisui calmly explained the purpose of his visit. He described the case in detail, then continued, "Since this matter has remained unresolved and the parties involved have been detained for too long, I hope it can be handed over to us."
The captain frowned as he listened. He remembered the incident Shisui was talking about. "This matter is already being handled. That ninja not only violated the Ninja Regulations by fighting someone else in the village, he openly insulted and resisted us when we were exercising our authority. For someone so lawless, detaining him for a while to let him calm down is the correct decision. You..."
Only then did the captain realize that he had no need to explain so much to Shisui. There was no point saying more to a ninja who had abandoned his clan's position.
"In short, this falls within the Security Division's authority. Outsiders aren't allowed to interfere."
How could Uchiha Shisui have wanted to interfere in something like this? But given the current situation, he had no choice. Some things could only be done by him. Holding a brawler beyond the legal detention period was hardly a major matter. Yet it was precisely such minor matters accumulating bit by bit that had created the impression that Kinoshita Tadashi handled public affairs arbitrarily and abused his authority, causing the rift between that clan and Konoha to grow ever narrower.
