Konoha Military Police Force

The Konoha Military Police Force was an organization established by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. Its members were primarily drawn from the Uchiha clan, and they were responsible for maintaining order within the village.

This served a dual purpose: it was a gesture of the Second Hokage's trust in the Uchiha, while simultaneously allowing him to keep a close watch on their every move.

The establishment of the Konoha Military Police Force brought the prestige and authority of the Uchiha clan to its peak within Konoha.

Today was the day Shisui Uchiha was scheduled to report for duty.

"Senior Inabi, I have come to report for duty."

The man standing before Shisui had long brown hair and wore a black tactical bodysuit, layered with the green flak jacket of a Jonin, the Uchiha clan crest embroidered on both shoulders.

This man was none other than the deputy captain of the Konoha Military Police Force, the right-hand man of Fugaku Uchiha: Uchiha Inabi.

"Good lad, I've heard all about you. You awakened your Three-Tomoe Sharingan at seven, and you even managed to build a bridge between our Uchiha clan and the Fourth Hokage. You're no less capable than your grandfather or your parents."

Shisui's grandfather and parents had all sacrificed themselves for the village and the Uchiha clan. To the emotionally intense Uchiha, a junior like Shisui naturally received a greater degree of care and concern.

"You flatter me, Senior Teppo. Compared to my grandfather and parents, I still have many shortcomings. I hope you will guide me in the future." Although Shisui's strength was not inferior to the man before him, he still accorded him the proper respect.

"I heard from Lord Fugaku that you've proposed some improvements for our Konoha Military Police Force?"

Fugaku Uchiha had already briefed Inabi on the purpose of Shisui's visit.

"Yes, Senior. While it is true that the Konoha Military Police Force grants our Uchiha clan significant power, it has also caused the villagers to grow more distant from us, and in doing so, we have offended many people."

Shisui had his own reasons for coming to train within the Konoha Military Police Force.

"I am aware of this phenomenon you speak of, but isn't maintaining the village's rules the very duty of our police force? Besides, since when do we Uchiha have to worry about what others think?"

As a traditional Uchiha, Inabi was not satisfied with Shisui's assessment. Shisui understood that the man possessed the typical Uchiha mindset; reasoning with him would be futile.

"Then, in your opinion, what is the goal of our Uchiha? Is it merely to hold onto this small patch of territory within the Konoha Military Police Force?" Since he could not win through logic, Shisui decided to change his approach.

"Our goal? Why, it is to contend for the position of Hokage, of course. After all, it was our Uchiha who founded Konoha alongside the Senju; we Uchiha deserve to be the masters of this village."

Exactly, and that is precisely how you all brought about your own destruction, Shisui thought to himself.

However, he had to continue guiding Uchiha Inabi.

"Then tell me, how do you think our Uchiha clan can become the Hokage?" Shisui asked.

"You don't know this? Naturally, one must come in first place during the Hokage election to become..." As he spoke, Uchiha Inabi realized the problem.

If the Uchiha clan wanted to produce a Hokage, they needed the support of the majority of the village, which meant they could not afford to offend so many people.

"But, it was those people who refused to follow the village's rules first! Our enforcement unit is acting for the good of the village, so why should they..."

Uchiha Inabi's reaction at this moment was quintessentially Uchiha.

"Therefore, leave the political matters to me. As for the problems on the battlefield, I shall leave those to you, Senior Inabi," Shisui said earnestly.

"Hahahaha, fair enough. It's rare for our Uchiha clan to produce a genius like you. On the battlefield, you can certainly be called an elite of our clan."

In an era where the Mangekyo Sharingan had yet to emerge, Shisui's Three-Tomoe Sharingan was indeed top-tier combat power within the clan.

"Senior Inabi, would you be interested in sparring with your junior? Consider it my entrance exam for the Konoha Military Police Force." Shisui knew well that the only way to convince an Uchiha was through raw strength. If he wanted Uchiha Inabi to truly take him seriously, he had to prove it with his skills.

Hearing Shisui's request, Inabi's smile faded, and he looked at the eight-year-old boy before him with a serious, earnest expression.

"Then let me see it—just how far those eyes of yours can see."

News of the spar between Shisui Uchiha and Uchiha Inabi quickly spread throughout the Konoha Military Police Force.

The Uchiha clansmen stationed at headquarters gathered at the training grounds, eager to see what an eight-year-old Shisui was capable of, that he would dare to challenge the twenty-two-year-old deputy captain and Three-Tomoe Sharingan user, Uchiha Inabi.

"Is that kid Shisui Uchiha? Kagami Uchiha's grandson. He actually dares to challenge Deputy Captain Inabi?"

"He seems to have just returned from the battlefield. I heard his strength is decent; he even earned praise from Clan Head Fugaku."

"Decent? Is that enough to compare to Captain Inabi?"

Because Shisui had previously asked Fugaku Uchiha not to deliberately publicize his strength, most people in Konoha—including the majority of the Uchiha clan—were unaware that Shisui had awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, leading them to underestimate him.

"Brother, don't be careless. Shisui also possesses the Three-Tomoe Sharingan," Teppo Uchiha, Inabi's younger brother, warned him from the sidelines.

At this moment, Uchiha Inabi realized Shisui's true intention.

The boy wasn't just looking for a simple lesson; Shisui intended to use him to establish his own prestige within the police force.

"But are you really that confident in your own strength? Then I shall let you see what it means to carry the responsibilities of a senior."

At that moment, Uchiha Inabi cast aside all other thoughts, adjusting his state of mind to prepare to go all out.

"Sharingan, activate."

Almost simultaneously, both men on the training ground activated their Sharingan. When two pairs of Three-Tomoe Sharingan, radiating intense pressure, appeared on the field, the entire training ground erupted.

"Good heavens, am I seeing this right? Shisui's eyes are also Three-Tomoe?"

"An eight-year-old with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan... how many years has it been since our Uchiha clan produced such a genius? Why has the clan kept this a secret?"

"It seems I underestimated Shisui-kun. Compared to him, I've wasted all these years..."

The shock Shisui Uchiha brought to the surrounding clansmen exceeded his own expectations. A few teenage Uchiha girls even had hearts in their eyes, waving their handkerchiefs from the sidelines and shouting, "Shisui-kun, we want to have your babies!"

However, neither man on the field was affected by the onlookers, and Shisui Uchiha made the first move.
