The Anbu Temporarily Takes Over the Military Police Force, and Everyone Goes Numb!

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked onto the rooftop of the Hokage Building. Looking at the endless sea of civilians before him, his anger toward Uchiha Jin grew even stronger.

However.

He quickly adjusted his mindset and once again put on a benevolent expression.

"Everyone, quiet down!"

As Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, the clamoring civilians in the streets instantly fell silent.

Clearly.

He still held considerable authority as Hokage!

Immediately afterward.

Sarutobi Hiruzen first expressed his apologies to everyone and affirmed the Military Police Force's reforms. Only then did he explain that during the reform period, the Anbu would handle the village's public security.

He would select a location in the village as the Anbu's public station. During this time, anyone who encountered trouble could seek help from the Anbu.

At that point.

The civilians, their problem resolved, finally withdrew with reluctant satisfaction.

However...

While the civilians were satisfied, the Anbu began to develop headaches!

They had no choice!

The Anbu naturally knew full well what troubles the Military Police Force had faced over the years.

These civilians might not have Chakra, but they were far more unreasonable than ninja. Sometimes, they simply refused to listen to reason.

But there was no way around it!

They had no ability to object to a decision made by the Hokage.

Two hours later.

Not far from the Hokage Building, a three-story building rose from the ground.

Being able to put up a new building so quickly was naturally thanks to the contribution of Yamato, a Wood Release ninja.

Immediately afterward.

As Anbu members moved in, a large group of Commoners surged inside.

The corners of the Anbu members' mouths twitched.

Still, fortunately!

They were all wearing masks, so the pain on their faces was not directly visible.

Anbu clerk: "What is it, ladies?"

The leading woman immediately spoke. "She stole my old hen! I was going to use it to nourish my child attending the ninja academy!"

"Bullshit! That old hen is clearly mine!" the other woman immediately cursed.

Immediately afterward.

The two of them began tugging and pulling at each other right in front of the Anbu clerk.

Anbu clerk: "..."

He was completely dumbfounded!

His ears felt like they were growing calluses from all the shouting. It felt more exhausting than fighting an enemy to the death.

What a headache!

Still, he quickly spoke. "Anbu Team A-3, you handle this!"

Afterward.

An Anbu squad stepped forward and took the two women away, apparently intending to inspect the scene.

Only after the two women left did the Anbu clerk finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But unfortunately.

Before he could even take a sip of water, another man came over. "Kentaro borrowed three hundred ryo from me and promised to repay it in a month. It's been three months already!"

"I don't have any money." The other man waved a hand. "I'll definitely pay you back once I do!"

Anbu clerk: "..."

He felt like his head was about to explode. How was he supposed to handle something like this?

In the end.

He could only wave a hand and say, "I'm only responsible for recording cases. Someone else will take over your case."

"Anbu Team A-5, it's yours."

As the Anbu clerk spoke, another reluctant Anbu team stepped out and led the two grown men out of the Anbu Building.

Then.

The numb Anbu clerk received his third complainant!

Two hours later, outside a private residence.

Kakashi led Anbu Team C-7 as they listened to the two families argue.

"Our families called off the engagement. The three-thousand-ryo bride price needs to be returned!"

"Absolutely not! Your family called off the engagement!"

"Your family never told us your daughter was blind!"

"You never asked, did you? Either way, no refund!"

"Honorable Anbu, please help me get my money back! That's three thousand ryo!"

"Your family broke off the engagement, so why should I return the bride price?"

The two families sprayed saliva as they immediately started arguing again.

Kakashi's team was covered in black lines.

The two families' argument gave them an instant headache!

Yamato could not help asking, "Captain, how do we settle this?"

"I have no idea either!" Kakashi spread his hands.

Yes.

For something where both sides claimed they were right, who the hell knew how it was supposed to be handled!

Another Anbu could not help saying, "Is this the sort of bullshit the Military Police Force deals with every day? Honestly, I'm starting to sympathize with them."

"If it were me, I would have completely broken down and quit long ago!"

Kakashi and Yamato could not help nodding.

Yeah!

This kind of matter really was hard to handle!

No matter how they settled it, the other side would definitely refuse to accept it. And as a military fortress, Konoha cared most about armed forces like ninja. Naturally, it had nothing like a civil code.

Therefore.

How these matters were handled ultimately depended on the enforcer himself.

It was precisely because of this that no matter how the Military Police Force handled things, someone would inevitably end up dissatisfied. That was why the Military Police Force's reputation had grown worse and worse.

Now that the Anbu had taken over, the Anbu got to suffer too.

In the end.

Kakashi, truly annoyed by the arguing, decided to pay out of pocket and be done with it.

Just like that, the problem was perfectly resolved!

However, Yamato could not help saying, "We can't pay out of pocket every time, can we? Our salaries can't withstand this kind of drain!"

"What do you think we should do?" Kakashi asked.

Yamato did not know either!

With their spirits thoroughly crushed, the group returned to the Anbu Building.

But unfortunately.

Before they could rest, they were assigned another case.

In the end.

Kakashi paid another eight hundred ryo!

In short, before getting off work that evening, Kakashi's team had paid out more than ten thousand ryo in total!

Even so, Kakashi's team was utterly exhausted.

And it was not just their team. The other teams had also been pushed close to collapse.

And so...

This continued until the third day. The Anbu could not take it anymore because their salaries could not take it anymore.

In the end, they had no choice!

No matter how helpless they felt, they could only make rulings: either pay compensation or go to prison.

But it was precisely because of that decision that the Anbu's reputation began to sour, and the Anbu started down the same old road as the Military Police Force.

The Anbu took one look and realized this would not do!

They had no choice.

They could only go find Sarutobi Hiruzen!

And regarding that.

What good solution could Sarutobi Hiruzen possibly have?

Therefore.

He could only seek out Nara Shikaku again. "The Anbu can barely hold on anymore. Shikaku, can you think of something?"

"There is no solution!" Nara Shikaku said helplessly. "This was only a temporary measure!"

"No matter who takes over the Military Police Force, this problem will arise. Why did the villagers resent the Uchiha before? When you get down to it, wasn't it because of the Military Police Force?"

"It's a hot potato. The Uchiha can't handle it, and neither can anyone else!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was utterly helpless.

In the end.

He could only soothe the Anbu and tell them to endure for a while longer, then order Danzo to kill Uchiha Jin!
