If your hands get dirty, my heart will ache.

Everyone was shocked. Transformation Technique were common, but this human skin mask was rare. They watched as the Tufeiyuan Xian'er was pinned to the ground, and his various crimes were just described.

The villagers looked disgusted and threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at him, filling the air with a sour, rancid, and foul odor.

As for why everyone dared to vent their anger like this without fear of incurring Tufeiyuan Xian'er, it's because his crime was too serious, according to the laws established by Uchiha Kō.

This man is definitely going to die. Since he's already dead, what's there to be afraid of? Let's just do it!

Uchiha Kiyoshi simply picked up the sealed, Tufeiyuan Xian'er to block the rotten eggs and vegetable leaves that were thrown at him, without thinking anything of it.

Tufeiyuan Xian'er glared angrily at the villagers, cursing inwardly, "Damn you bastards! If I'm lucky enough to survive this time, you'll all be waiting for me!"

Hizashi Hyuga his eyes and said loudly, "I ask all the villagers present to stop."

Hizashi Hyuga was very popular, joined the Konoha Police Force and rose through the ranks quickly, and even gained a certain status in Konoha. The Hyuga Clan also respected him greatly.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stopped and looked at Hizashi Hyuga. They didn't understand why Hizashi Hyuga wouldn't let them vent their anger; it wasn't like this before.

However, out of trust in the Konoha Police Force, or rather, out of trust in the Fourth Hokage, Uchiha Kō, they believed that the Konoha Police Force must have their reasons for doing things.

Hyuga Hizashi Hyuga smiled and said, "Thank you all for giving me and the Police Force face. I believe you have all seen that Tufeiyuan Xian'er has committed numerous serious crimes. With multiple crimes combined, he cannot escape the death penalty."

"However, the look he gave you all just now was clearly filled with anger, which means he wants revenge. Therefore, in order to prevent future troubles and to uphold the Lord Hokage's ideology, murderers must pay with their lives, and those who commit serious crimes must die."

"Please step back, everyone. I am about to deliver my verdict on the spot. This will both settle his crimes and put your minds at ease, as such a criminal will not have the opportunity to take revenge on you!"

The villagers' eyes lit up at this, and they applauded, "Good! Captain Hizashi did well. Killing him in public is the best outcome!"

"That's right, his eyes were terrifying just now. If he hadn't died, I think many people wouldn't have been able to sleep well before he did!"

"Kill him! Kill this heinous criminal! Avenge the innocent!"

"Everyone, step back! Don't obstruct Lord Hizashi's execution!"

The villagers had differing opinions, but most advocated killing the criminal on the spot. After all, everyone was afraid that the criminal would escape and return in a different guise to take revenge, which was unacceptable to the villagers.

"Go to Hizashi Hyuga! You have no right to judge me. If you want to sentence me to death, you need to go through layers of approval from the Police Force. You only have law enforcement power, not the power to dispose of things. What you're doing is illegal!" Tufeiyuan Xian'er knew the law.

To be precise, someone with a serious criminal record like him is studying law because he wants to exploit legal loopholes to protect himself. As things stand, what he said makes sense.

The villagers looked at Hizashi Hyuga with concern, while Uchiha Kō observed from the shadows, wondering how Hizashi Hyuga would handle the situation.

Hizashi Hyuga laughed, a cold laugh filled with disdain. "The Konoha Police Force serves the villagers and Konoha; this is an ironclad rule. You have now threatened the safety of the villagers. Admittedly, you are right to adhere to procedural justice."

"Even if I have to give up this tiger skin, I, Hizashi Hyuga, will still kill you on the spot, for the safety of the villagers!"

"Afterwards, I will report everything to the Lord Hokage. Whether or not I am sentenced will be decided by the Hokage and the higher-ups." After saying this, Hizashi Hyuga took out the katana he always carried and walked towards Tufeiyuan Xian'er.

Tufeiyuan Xian'er's face turned deathly pale. "You're all lunatics! Do you know the consequences of not following due process and killing people in the street?!"

Hizashi Hyuga remained silent, but the villagers continued to speak up, saying, "Captain Hizashi, there's no need to drag you down for the sake of a scumbag."

"Yes, Captain Hizashi, we appreciate your kindness. You are a good official, so please be patient for a moment and things will calm down. Taking a step back will open up a whole new world!"

"Captain Hizashi, don't act rashly!"

Uchiha Kō nodded as he observed all this. If officials have the villagers in their hearts, the villagers will also hold officials in high esteem and think of them.

Coming from the masses and going back to the masses, using one's power to solve problems for and serve the villagers—this is the kind of official that Uchiha Kō approves of.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Kō pushed through the crowd, pulled Tsunade, and appeared in front of Hizashi Hyuga. Susanoo blocked Hizashi Hyuga's katana.

Hizashi Hyuga stunned. He looked at Uchiha Kō, then his heart trembled. "Lord Hokage!" Hizashi Hyuga Uchiha Kō's meaning at this moment, so he only said "Lord Hokage".

Tufeiyuan Xian'er's eyes lit up, and he quickly crawled to Uchiha Kō's feet, crying out, "Lord Hokage, please control your subordinates!"

"Killing someone in the street, what a heinous act! I know I can't escape death, but you can't just disregard procedural justice like this! Even prisoners have human rights!" Tufeiyuan Xian'er was stirring up trouble. Even if he died today, he would strip Hizashi Hyuga of his tiger skin.

Uchiha Kō glanced at Tufeiyuan Xian'er, his eyes turning cold, and sneered. He then summoned Susanoo to grab Tufeiyuan Xian'er and lift him into the sky.

Then Uchiha Kō turned around, patted Hizashi Hyuga on the shoulder, and laughed, "Hizashi, you're right. Procedural justice is important, but for the safety of the villagers, none of that matters."

"I'm pleased that you can grasp the principles of governance I've shared, but don't let such scum dirty your hands, or I'll be heartbroken." With that, Uchiha Kō snapped his fingers.

The golden-red Susanoo arm suddenly exerted force, crushing the Tufeiyuan Xian'er into a pulp. The white and red parts intertwined and fell to the ground.

Because the villagers were far away, the dirt did not contaminate them.

Hizashi Hyuga was stunned. He had thought that Uchiha Kō would punish him for his impulsiveness, but he didn't expect that Owl would stand up for him and stand up for him.

Uchiha Kō glanced at Hizashi Hyuga and sighed inwardly, "He has the potential to be a good official, but he's too young. If someone finds a way to use this against him, his career will be over."

Therefore, Uchiha Kō chose to take action. As the Hokage and former head of the Police Force, he had the authority to decide the life or death of a criminal, both then and now, without giving anyone a reason to do so.

The villagers were stunned at first, then their eyes turned to Uchiha Kō, shouting, "Long live Uchiha Owl!"

"Long live the Lord Hokage! The Lord Hokage has rid the people of evil!"

"We swear to follow the Lord Hokage to the death and support all of Lord Hokage ideals!"

The villagers may not have been to school, but they know who is good and who is bad.

Those who were literate and aspired to take the civil service exam narrowed their eyes and realized that Uchiha Kō's purpose in making his move was to protect Hizashi Hyuga.
