With his powerful aura, Byakuya suppressed everyone present.
Sensing Byakuya's killing intent, everyone felt their breathing quicken.
Everyone held their breath, not daring to make a move.
Only Uchiha Mikoto softly called out Byakuya's name.
"Byakuya!..."
Hearing Uchiha Mikoto's voice, Byakuya retracted his killing intent.
"Clan Head, you're lucky. You have a good daughter..."
"You can go now! ... Your daughter will follow me from now on..."
"Let's go, Mikoto!..."
With that, Byakuya left directly.
"Father... I will follow Byakuya from now on..."
Uchiha Mikoto said to her father and immediately followed Byakuya's footsteps.
As he was leaving the prison, Byakuya saw Uchiha Fugaku, who was also imprisoned there.
"Uchiha Fugaku! You useless trash can stay here!..."
Byakuya glanced at Uchiha Fugaku with disdain.
As for the Clan Head, Uchiha Gen, Byakuya could let him go for Uchiha Mikoto's sake.
However, for Uchiha Fugaku, who might lead the Uchiha Clan to ruin in the future, Byakuya would absolutely not let him go.
Hearing Byakuya's words, Uchiha Fugaku looked up.
But when he saw Mikoto behind Byakuya, and the hickey on Mikoto's neck.
Uchiha Fugaku became enraged.
He knew very well that Mikoto was the Clan Head's daughter.
The Clan Head had also wanted to marry his daughter to him.
Now, Uchiha Mikoto was following behind Byakuya, with her neck covered in hickeys.
What did this mean!? This meant Mikoto had fallen into Byakuya's hands.
"Uchiha Byakuya!... You damn bastard!..."
[Ding, sensed Uchiha Fugaku's rage, +100 Negative Energy, Genjutsu +10...]
[Ding, sensed Uchiha Fugaku's rage, +200 Negative Energy, Taijutsu +10...]
[Ding, sensed Uchiha Fugaku's rage, +300 Negative Energy, Ninjutsu +11...]
"Haha..."
Seeing the enraged and roaring Uchiha Fugaku and the constantly increasing Negative Energy, Byakuya laughed excitedly.
With Byakuya imprisoning Uchiha Fugaku and suppressing the Clan Head, Uchiha Gen, the entire Uchiha Clan was completely under Byakuya's control.
"Lord Byakuya, please have some tea..."
"Vice-Captain En, please have some tea..."
Uchiha Mikoto, like a maid, served two cups of tea to Byakuya and Uchiha En.
Ever since Mikoto started following Byakuya, she had become his personal attendant.
Moreover, Byakuya found it very pleasing to the eye to see a beautiful woman by his side every day.
"Thank you, Miss Mikoto!..."
Uchiha En quickly picked up his tea and took a sip. Then, looking at Mikoto as she retreated, he couldn't help but say.
"Lord Byakuya, you've already taken Miss Mikoto..."
"When are you going to become the Clan Head!..."
Uchiha En said impatiently.
"Clan Head!? It's not time yet..."
"There will be many people who object..."
Byakuya said.
Although Byakuya had high prestige within the Uchiha Clan, there were also many who opposed him.
"Hmph, whoever dares to object, we'll just get rid of them."
"Only Lord Byakuya can lead the Uchiha Clan to glory."
Uchiha En's eyes flashed with ferocity.
"I'm not in a hurry, why are you?..."
"I have something more important to do right now..."
Byakuya said, looking at Uchiha En.
"Lord Byakuya! What is it!..."
Uchiha En said impatiently.
He was willing to do anything Byakuya asked.
"We, the Uchiha Clan, are the Security Force, responsible for the safety of Konohagakure..."
"From now on, collect protection fees from all shops in Konohagakure..."
Byakuya couldn't help but say.
In the past, Byakuya was just a captain of the Security Force, responsible for public order in one area of Konohagakure and collecting protection fees for that area.
But now, it was different. Byakuya controlled the entire Uchiha Clan, and the Security Force obeyed Byakuya's orders entirely.
All the streets in Konohagakure were under his control.
Byakuya naturally wanted to expand his influence.
"This... Lord Byakuya, they might not be willing to pay us protection fees..."
Uchiha En said with some difficulty.
He knew very well that most of the shops in Konohagakure were controlled by ninja families.
It would be too difficult to collect protection fees from them.
"If they don't pay! Then they won't be able to run their shops..."
"Don't forget, we are the Security Force, responsible for Konohagakure's safety. This is the authority given to us by the Hokage..."
Byakuya said meaningfully.
"This... this might offend other ninja families..."
"..."
Uchiha En said worriedly.
"En, let me ask you, what is the relationship between our Uchiha Clan and the other ninja families..."
Byakuya said, looking at Uchiha En.
"Uh... Very bad!..."
"The relationship between our Uchiha Clan and the other clans is very bad!..."
Uchiha En thought for a moment and said.
"Since that's the case, what are you still worried about!..."
Byakuya continued.
Byakuya really couldn't understand how the Security Force of Konohagakure, which was supposed to be powerful in the original work, was actually disliked by the villagers of Konohagakure.
Heh... This is the Security Force! They are in charge of the safety of the entire Konohagakure.
The most powerful governing body in Konohagakure.
It was one thing for them not to be respected, but to be despised and hated!?
Wasn't that courting death!?
With the power of the Security Force, it was too easy to find fault with someone, give them a hard time, or arrest them.
Byakuya really didn't understand what the Security Force was doing in the original work.
Therefore, Byakuya was now going to use the power of the Security Force.
"I understand, Lord Byakuya!..."
"I'll take action immediately!..."
Upon hearing Byakuya's words, Uchiha En immediately led his men to start collecting protection fees from various shops.
Of course, these shops would not pay the protection fees so easily.
Uchiha En led his men into a weapon shop owned by the Shimura Clan.
Seeing the clan symbol on Uchiha En's clothes, the weapon shop owner's brow furrowed.
The other clans in Konohagakure did not want to deal with the Uchiha Clan.
Because all the clans knew very well that the Uchiha Clan did not get along with the Konoha higher-ups.
Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi was suppressing the Uchiha Clan at every turn.
To avoid being suppressed by Konoha themselves, they would definitely not stand with the Uchiha Clan.
After all, the Hokage of Konohagakure was the boss.
Although they were unwilling to deal with the Uchiha Clan, they still had to do business when it came to their doorstep.
