Seeing that Uchiha Kō had explained himself clearly, and with Tsunade's testimony, everyone sided with Uchiha Kō. Except for the Fifth Brother, the other four were captured by Uchiha Kō in the blink of an eye, completely unable to resist.
Because the noodle shop was crowded with people, two members of the Uchiha Police Force on duty also came to find out what was going on. Before they could even ask, they saw Uchiha Kō standing there with four people tied up next to him, and another person handcuffed to a stool leg.
"Minister! What happened?" one of the Uchiha asked hurriedly. Before Uchiha Kō could answer, the people around him explained the situation in one sentence or two.
Uchiha Kō smiled and said, "See? The eyes of the masses are discerning. Next time you handle a case, remember to follow the new rules and regulations!" After saying that Uchiha Kō patted the shoulders of the two Uchiha ninjas.
The two Uchiha quickly nodded in agreement, then took the five members of the theft gang and led them back to the Police Force's prison. Everyone applauded and cheered, pondering what their minister had just said. The two secretly resolved to learn from their minister's methods in the future.
As the person was taken away, the crowd gathered at the door dispersed, praising the Uchiha Police Force for protecting the personal safety and property of the Konoha.
So as long as you speak out, and the two law enforcement officers identify themselves, most people will already have a general idea. If you don't say anything, who will know who you are or why you're arresting people?
Uchiha Kō took Tsunade's small hand, and the two strolled along the street. After a while, Tsunade smiled and said, "Owl-kun, you're so clever! In the past, the Uchiha would just take action directly when solving cases, without considering the consequences, which made them seem somewhat tyrannical and domineering to the people."
"But what you just did has won the villagers' trust and praise! If the Uchiha Police Force enforces the law like this in the future, I'm sure the villagers will have no more objections!" Tsunade's eyes gleamed.
"Yes, from now on, the Uchiha Police Force will enforce the law in this way, ensuring that both procedures and reality are taken into account. This will let more villagers know that we Uchiha are here to serve everyone." Uchiha Kō smiled.
Tsunade nodded, then gripped Uchiha Kō's arm tightly. The two strolled around for a long time before parting ways in the evening.
As soon as Uchiha Kō returned to the clan's territory, he saw a group of people waiting at the gate.
The clan leaders of Hyuga Akagi, Aburame Shikuroo, Nara Rokumei, Torifu Akimichi, Yamanaka Unkai, and others were all at the entrance.
Actually, the group had heard that the Police Force was recruiting, so they all came to visit Uchiha Kō. They had inquired beforehand and heard that Uchiha Kō had not yet returned, so they were all waiting at the door.
The moment Uchiha Kō appeared, Hyuga Akagi Hyuga Akagi the fastest, smiling and saying, "Kō Division, hello."
"Hmm, you must be the Hyuga clan leader. I remember you; we met at the Hokage meeting." Uchiha Kō smiled and shook hands with Hyuga Akagi.
Following closely behind, the Ino-Shika-Cho -Uchiha Kō- Cho trio also greeted Uchiha Kō, who shook hands with each of them.
Then Uchiha Kō chuckled, "What are you all doing? Why aren't you going in to have tea with the clan leader? Instead, you're just standing at the door."
He had already guessed their purpose, but he couldn't say it aloud.
The group exchanged glances, finally looking at Hyuga Akagi. Hyuga Akagi's mouth twitched. "I'm truly impressed by you all. You want me to do the talking?" he thought. Having no other choice, he gathered his thoughts for a moment, then smiled and said, "Lord Owl, we've come to ask if your Police Force's position is..."
Hyuga Akagi Uchiha Kō quickly interrupted, "Sorry, everyone is treated equally. Everyone must pass a test to be accepted into the Police Force."
Upon hearing this, disappointment appeared on everyone's faces, but Nara Rokumei's eyes lit up. "Lord Owl, could you tell us what the assessment will cover?"
Knowing the assessment content makes it easier for family members to prepare in advance.
Uchiha Kō smiled. "Well... fine, I can tell everyone, but..."
"But what?" Hyuga Akagi asked again.
"However, each institution can only accept a maximum of two students. I wonder if everyone can accept that." Uchiha Kō smiled; half the size of the Police Force wasn't much.
With two people from each family present and a few people from the Sarutobi Clan Shimura Clan who had been protected, there were ten seats left. The remaining seats were for Uchiha Kō to win over the commoners.
After discussing it for a while, the heads of the families finally agreed, because they were sending people to the Police Force for information, not for official positions, and two people per family would be enough.
Uchiha Kō, on the other hand, wanted these clans to share the burden of the Police Force with the Uchiha, so he would definitely let his clan members in.
This is a good opportunity to state the terms in advance.
"Yes, please tell us more, Lord Xiao." The family heads all nodded in agreement.
Uchiha Kō smiled. "Tomorrow, everyone will run with a 50-pound weight, no Chakra allowed. The best runner will be selected."
Nara Rokumei frowned. "Does an office worker have to run?" His Nara Clan wasn't particularly talented in Taijutsu, and this really worried him.
Uchiha Kō shook his head. "The exams for clerical positions are more about political literacy and the like. I can't say the specifics; it all depends on talent."
In reality, it was as if Uchiha Kō hadn't said anything about these two tests. The 20,000-meter weighted run didn't require Chakra; it was a test of endurance and physical fitness, which couldn't be accomplished overnight.
They knew this tonight, but there was no time to train, so they agreed to Uchiha Kō's condition of a maximum of two students from each family being accepted.
However, no one said anything. Those with good physical fitness would be given a chance, while those with poor physical fitness would be put on an administrative exam. If none of that worked, then they couldn't blame Uchiha Kō.
As everyone left, Uchiha Kō slowly withdrew his gaze, returned home, and went to sleep.
The next day
The gate of the Police Force was crowded with people, including clan ninjas and civilian ninjas.
Clan ninjas are limited to two members each, either those with strong physical abilities or those who appear intelligent, while commoner ninjas are more numerous.
Uchiha Kō didn't sleep in today either, but waited in the building early. When it was nine o'clock, he appeared at the door.
Looking at the sea of people, he smiled and thought, "It's really lively."
Upon seeing Uchiha Kō appear, everyone fell silent. This was because Uchiha Kō was incredibly powerful, because he was the chief examiner of this exam, and because he was the head of the Police Force.
"Ahem, I announce that the assessment is divided into two parts: one for law enforcement personnel, which will be a physical fitness test, and the other for clerical personnel, which will be a policy essay. Candidates present, please find the examination room that suits you best."
"The specific assessment content will be explained to you by other members of the Police Force." After saying that, Uchiha Kō walked towards the administrative staff.
Uchiha Kiyoshi then informed everyone of the details for their reference, and the assessment would begin an hour later.
