Everyone's eyes flickered, their lips curled in cold sneers.

What was bound to come had finally arrived!

The village's advantages were not so easy to take, but what happened next still depended on Uchiha Jin's plans.

Everyone turned to look at Uchiha Jin, and he did not waste any words. "Yashiro-sama, you'll be in charge."

"Me?" Yashiro was somewhat stunned.

Uchiha Jin slowly nodded.

A faint smile appeared on his face before he said, "You're one of the leaders of the Moderate Faction. The village isn't very wary of you, so having you show yourself will lower their guard."

"Take twenty genin squads with you and set up the Military Police Force's basic framework first."

"Remember, if anything unexpected happens, there's only one solution... stall!"

"If the Hokage holds you accountable, say that the clan has just relocated and everything is still chaotic, so we can't spare any more manpower for the time being."

"If the village keeps pressuring you, say that the Uchiha are willing to give up the Military Police Force. Whichever shinobi clan is willing to take it over can have it."

In the past, Uchiha Jin had worried about who would take over this mess.

After all, he needed to restore his dojutsu power every day, manage the clan's affairs, contend with the village, and keep the overall situation under control. He could not possibly devote all his energy to the Military Police Force.

But now? This was perfect!

Since both the Moderate Faction and the Middle Faction had joined him, handing this matter over to the Moderate Faction would work even better.

As for this—

Although Uchiha Yashiro had little confidence, he ultimately accepted the burden.

"Alright, I understand."

"I'll strictly follow Jin's instructions and do my best to handle the Military Police Force's affairs."

Time slowly passed.

Although the Uchiha had changed their clan grounds, they quickly settled down.

After all, compared to the clan grounds at the edge of the village, where they had only lived for a few years, they had lived here much longer.

Uchiha Jin had practically gone into seclusion.

Other than spending two hours each day practicing ninjutsu and briefly stretching his limbs, he stayed at home almost all the time.

It was all to restore his dojutsu power!

During his previous clash with Danzo, he had used nearly three percent of his dojutsu power in order to completely intimidate the Village Higher-ups.

To ensure that he remained at his peak at all times, he needed to fully restore that dojutsu power.

As for the friction between the village and the clan, he only made sure that the overall situation did not go wrong. He had largely delegated the minor details to those below him.

If another shinobi clan had received such authority, those below would probably have been delighted.

The Uchiha were an exception!

No matter which faction they belonged to, they were almost all single-minded. They could fight and kill on the battlefield, but they truly could not handle clerical work.

If Uchiha Jin had not forced them to do it, they would have long since thrown down their responsibilities and quit!

Especially the Military Police Force!

Fugaku had once been there. Though indecisive, he had at least been relatively steady. Now that Uchiha Yashiro had replaced him, even as a member of the Moderate Faction, the sheer volume of documents nearly drove him berserk.

Eight in the morning, Military Police Force headquarters.

Uchiha Yashiro had just sat down in his office when someone below knocked on his door.

Hearing the knock outside, the corner of his mouth twitched, and a headache began to rise.

But, ah!

After sighing helplessly, he spoke weakly.

"Come in!"

"Yashiro-sama!"

An Uchiha genin walked in, then immediately dropped to one knee. "Those troublesome civilians are here again, asking about the outcome of the case. Are we still going to keep fobbing them off?"

"This case is actually very clear. It's just someone eating without paying. Everyone knows that street thug. Can't we just arrest him?"

The genin could barely keep his expression together and was on the verge of tears.

That was right!

Uchiha Jin's new regulations had tortured them to the point of wishing they were dead.

Problems that could normally be resolved easily now required an entire set of implementation standards, leaving this group of illiterates completely dumbfounded.

As for this—

Uchiha Yashiro said in a faint voice, "Do you have any evidence?"

"This..." The genin helplessly gave up. "A lot of villagers saw it happen!"

Uchiha Yashiro rolled his eyes. "Then go find the people who were there. Take their statements and have them sign and seal them."

"They won't agree." The genin shook his head.

Uchiha Yashiro continued, "Then persuade them!"

"I can't persuade them!" The genin was nearly crying. "No one is willing to testify!"

"Eating without paying is a minor matter. At most, he'll be locked up for a month before being released. Those villagers don't want to testify because they're afraid that street thug will cause trouble for them after he gets out."

"This matter has completely hit a dead end!"

At that moment, the genin poured out his grievances.

But unfortunately—

Uchiha Yashiro had heard enough over the past few days to make him sick. Before the genin could finish, he cut him off.

"Alright, shut up!"

"There's no point telling me this. Elder Jin made these rules, so follow them."

"If you can't persuade them, then keep persuading them!"

"As long as our Military Police Force is making an effort, that's enough. As for whether this case can truly be resolved in the end, did I ever issue a death order saying it had to be handled within a certain number of days?"

"Take your time with it!"

The genin looked completely lost and desperately wanted to curse.

The higher-ups had indeed not set any KPI, but those troublesome civilians blocked the entrance to the Military Police Force every day. It was giving him a massive headache!

He instinctively said, "But..."

"No buts!" Uchiha Yashiro cut him off. "It's settled. Get out!"

The genin had a stomach full of words, but in the end, he could only swallow them back down.

Finally, ah!

After sighing helplessly, he could only leave in frustration.

Watching the office return to silence, Uchiha Yashiro relaxed considerably and could not help letting out a long sigh.

What a headache!

But unfortunately—

Before he could finish lamenting, the familiar knock sounded again.

Veins bulged across Uchiha Yashiro's forehead.

"Come in!"

"Yashiro-sama, I..."

"Did you take the statements? Find the evidence? Complete the case-handling procedures?"

"N-No!"

"Get out and handle the case according to procedure!"

"But..."

"No buts. Get out!"

Immediately afterward—

The Military Police Force member who had just entered swiftly rolled out of the office.

Ten minutes later.

The familiar knocking sounded once more.

This time, Uchiha Yashiro had been driven completely mad. He no longer had the bearing of the Moderate Faction and directly threw open the door, roaring.

"Take statements! Find physical evidence! Find witnesses!"

"Until you have completely finished the procedures, no one is allowed to come to my office and bother me!"

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

"Get the hell out of here right now!"

"If this old man sees you bastards again, I'll blast you little turtles to death with a Great Fireball!"
