"Uchiha Dan, what exactly are you doing?" an elder of the Uchiha Clan shouted in fury.

This elder of the Uchiha Clan was also the Deputy Head of Konoha's Police Force.

Uchiha Dan retorted incredulously, "How dare you even ask me that?"

"The Police Force's duty is to maintain Konoha's peace, yet your officers attacked me, a civilian, without cause. Is there no law anymore?"

"They... attacked you?" the elder asked, disbelievingly.

Does he even hear himself?

The person lying on the ground is one of our men.

"Yes, Uchiha En attacked me right off the bat. Many people saw it. I was left with no choice but to fight back. That's what happened."

"You... what did you do to them? Why are they unconscious?" the Uchiha Clan elder demanded.

"I have no need to explain myself to you!" Uchiha Dan said coldly.

The Deputy Head of the Police Force gritted his teeth. "Then I'll have to take you to the Police Force's prison to question you slowly."

"Great!" Uchiha Dan suddenly became excited and urged them on, "Hurry, hurry, lead the way."

"Remember, don't let me out for at least ten days or eight. Otherwise, I'll tear down your Uchiha Clan."

"You..." The Uchiha Clan elder thought he had misheard. But glancing at the surrounding villagers, he suppressed his emotions and said fiercely, "Take him away!"

Hokage's office.

Hatake Sakumo was detailing the battle to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The incident began when Uchiha Dan rescued Uchiha Rei at Konoha Hospital.

However, Uchiha En kept picking fights and causing trouble for Uchiha Dan.

Finally, after being defeated, Uchiha En returned to the Police Force and surrounded the general store owned by the Namikaze Toneri couple with his men.

When Uchiha Dan arrived, Uchiha En used the excuse of him obstructing official duties and assaulting police officers to attack him directly.

Uchiha Dan was forced to retaliate, knocking out all eight people, including Uchiha En, without sustaining any injuries himself.

"Shikaku, is Uchiha Dan... really that powerful?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, his eyes narrowed.

"Your subordinate witnessed it with his own eyes!" Hatake Sakumo replied.

"You're saying you didn't sense any Chakra fluctuations from him, that his fighting style was very basic, relying purely on physical strength and the dynamic vision of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan?"

"Yes!"

At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to suddenly understand something.

He finally understood why Tobirama Senju had become wary of Uchiha Dan after just one glance on the street.

He also finally understood why his teacher, on his deathbed, had not forgotten to instruct him not to let Uchiha Dan train, but to live as an ordinary person.

It wasn't that he, as Hokage, lacked magnanimity and insisted on making things difficult for a child.

It was that his keen eyes had seen Uchiha Dan's extraordinary talent at a glance.

Was this to prevent the Uchiha Clan from producing another Madara Uchiha?

"Where is Uchiha Dan now?"

"He has been taken to the Police Force and is currently detained in their prison."

"The Police Force..." Hiruzen Sarutobi murmured.

"Do you wish to see him?" Hatake Sakumo asked.

"No, it's not time yet. You go back and continue to monitor him."

"Yes!"

When he was alone in the office, Hiruzen Sarutobi took out his pipe, tapped out the ashes, refilled it with tobacco, lit it, and took a few puffs.

Exhaling smoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a headache coming on.

How should he handle Uchiha Dan?

From all the intelligence, Uchiha Dan had strictly followed his orders, not training for a single day in seven years. Yet, he possessed such strength purely through his innate talent.

Furthermore, he was an incredibly talented Medical Ninja, and the Revival Technique he created was groundbreaking.

This Ninjutsu even gave Tsunade a headache; she had only grasped the basics after three months of study.

The key point was that Uchiha Dan had no sense of belonging to the Uchiha Clan, as evidenced by the conflict between them.

If he had been shown favor from the beginning and brought under his wing, such a person could potentially become a second Kagami Uchiha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt regret over Kagami Uchiha's sudden death.

Although Kagami had committed many evil deeds later on, implying Danzo had harmed many people, Kagami Uchiha's death truly had nothing to do with him.

Who wouldn't like an incredibly loyal and powerful enforcer?

This was why Hiruzen Sarutobi had always held a grudge against Shimura Danzō.

Although Shimura Danzō had always claimed he had nothing to do with Kagami Uchiha's death, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew Shimura Danzō too well and knew that he was the one who did it.

But he had no proof, Kagami Uchiha was already dead, and he couldn't really do anything to Shimura Danzō.

"Sigh..." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed with some regret.

It was too late to say anything now.

It was too late to show kindness now, because the conflict between them was irreconcilable.

Although he, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had not directly done anything to Uchiha Dan, he had heard about it.

Utatane Koharu had been oppressing Uchiha Dan while also humiliating him in the most venomous and harsh way for five full years.

Shimura Danzō had even proposed eliminating Uchiha Dan from time to time.

Should he really be eliminated? But was it still possible now?

Hiruzen Sarutobi fell into deep thought.

In the Police Force's prison, Uchiha Dan lay resting on the floor at his leisure, ignoring whatever the interrogators from the Police Force asked him.

"Uchiha Dan!" the Police Force interrogator roared, "Are you going to resist to the bitter end? Confess quickly!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Dan perked up: "Your Police Force has quite the authority, convicting people without understanding the facts?"

"You'd best sort out the crime of a Konoha ninja attacking fellow villagers first."

As he spoke, Uchiha Dan activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

The interrogating ninja felt a momentary daze, but when he came to his senses, nothing had happened.

Uchiha Dan merely stared at him coldly, making him feel a bit uneasy.

At this moment, Uchiha Dan had already arrived beside Tsunade.

He had just used Genjutsu on the interrogating ninja, leaving only a Shadow Clone in the cell.

"Dan, you really came?" Tsunade asked, somewhat surprised.

She had just tried to use Chakra to activate the Flying Thunder God Formula Uchiha Dan had left on her, and less than five seconds later, Uchiha Dan appeared beside her.

"Are you alright?" Tsunade asked.

"If I can appear beside you, what do you think?" Uchiha Dan chuckled.

"Why were you so impulsive..." Tsunade said worriedly.

"I don't care how they target me; it's not the first time after all these years."

"But they targeted my adoptive parents, they don't even know how to write the word 'death'."

"I understand!" Tsunade said without any blame, "It's just, why did you have to act yourself? I could have helped!"

"I knew you would help, of course." Uchiha Dan smiled with relief, "But I don't want you to offend the Uchiha Clan. Just leave this kind of thing to me."

"Oh, right. I came to tell you that later, using your bad mood because I was captured as an excuse, don't treat those eight people."

"I used some methods when I attacked them, ensuring that their injuries can only be treated by you and me. I really want to see what they'll do."

"Do you need me to hide?" Tsunade asked excitedly.

It was obvious that Dan was plotting something again.

Although being manipulated felt unpleasant, seeing Uchiha Dan manipulate others was quite satisfying.

Uchiha Dan was amused by Tsunade's reaction and chuckled, "No need, just refuse them openly. It'll be fun to mess with them a bit longer!"

Police Force Chief's Office.

Uchiha Fukuyama, the patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, had a splitting headache.

The moment he saw Uchiha En and the others injured and unconscious, Uchiha Fukuyama immediately ordered them to be sent to Konoha Hospital.

However, the person who went to the hospital to care for them sent back a message saying that Lord Tsunade heard Uchiha Dan was captured and was in a bad mood, directly refusing to treat Uchiha En and the others.

After examining the eight people, other Medical Ninjas declared themselves unable to help.

These eight people were seriously injured. If they didn't receive timely treatment, they would all be crippled, and their ninja careers would be completely ruined.

These eight people were not old. The oldest, Uchiha En, was only 17, and the youngest was only 12. They were all the hope of the Uchiha Clan!

Losing eight at once was something even the Uchiha Clan couldn't withstand.

In fact, there was a solution to the current problem.

As long as Uchiha Dan was released and a few kind words were spoken, everything would be resolved.

But he was unwilling.

This guy had made the Uchiha Clan lose all face. If he were released just like that, where would his own face be?
