Turning the Tables

The captains of the Police Forces all looked surprised when they heard Uchiha Qingcheng dismiss a senior officer from the Police Force.

The dismissed company commander was Hachikaku Tetsuma, a ninja from the Hakkaku Clan. The Hakkaku Clan was a small ninja clan in Konoha, with only about twenty members. The clan head was an Elite Jonin, the head of the Sarutobi Clan, and usually obeyed Sarutobi Shirauo's every command.

Hachikaku Tetsuma knew that Uchiha Qingcheng, now the head of the Police Force, would definitely use his own people, and that he, as a company commander, would definitely lose his position. That's why he led the attack on Uchiha Qingcheng.

Upon hearing that he had been fired, Hachikaku Tetsuma immediately flew into a rage, saying fiercely, "Uchiha Qingcheng, what right do you have to fire me? I am the captain of the Police Force appointed by the Konoha High Command, personally appointed by the Hokage. You have no right to fire me!"

The other squadron leaders also cheered for Hachikaku Tetsuma, shouting, "Uchiha Qingcheng, this is the Konoha Police Force, not your old Uchiha Police Force. You're the one who's going to be fired!"

Most of the officials who criticized Uchiha Qingcheng were from the Sarutobi Clan. Hiruzen Sarutobi directly appointed Sarutobi Shirauo as head of the Konoha Police Force, intending to transfer it to the Sarutobi Clan.

As long as the Konoha High Command controls public opinion, the Konoha Police Force won't be considered a dirty place; in fact, it's a secure job, reducing the number of the Sarutobi Clan members needed to guard the border.

The Konoha Police Force was still a powerful department. When the Uchiha Clan was in charge, they were suppressed by the higher-ups and reduced to mere street patrollers. However, when the Sarutobi Clan took over, Hiruzen Sarutobi a little more power, and it became the Konoha Police Department.

Otherwise, by the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations arrives, when those Otsutsuki Clan invade Konoha, the Police Force will all have thick beards and be all fat and greasy—isn't that just because they're rich and powerful?

Uchiha Qingcheng didn't stand on ceremony at all, directly pulling out a folder with the signatures of the Second Hokage and Hiruzen Sarutobi on it.

It clearly stated that the Uchiha Clan possessed autonomy and the right to appoint officials within the Konoha Police Force, and that outsiders were not allowed to interfere. The Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, and the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.

All the platoon leaders and squad leaders who had been shouting, and even Sarutobi Shirauo, began to lose their composure upon seeing this document, thinking to themselves, "... How is this possible?"

With a serious expression, Qingcheng said to Hachikaku Tetsuma, "What's your name again? Now you can get lost, and you're never allowed to set foot in the Konoha Police Force again."

Everyone was shocked by these stern words. The Sarutobi Clan ninjas remained silent, staring blankly at Sarutobi Shirauo.

Hachikaku Tetsuma looked at Qingcheng's document, his face full of hesitation. He thought to himself, "If I leave here, I'll definitely have to go out of the village to do missions again, maybe even guard the border. I can't just leave like this."

Immediately, Hachikaku Tetsuma stood up and said fiercely, "Uchiha Qingcheng, you're just a loser! How dare you photocopy the Third Hokage's signature? Unless the Third Hokage himself speaks up, I won't acknowledge it!"

The Sarutobi Clan ninjas, along with a group of company commanders and officers, immediately realized what was happening and stood up, shouting, "Hachikaku Tetsuma is right! You, Uchiha Qingcheng, did indeed illegally photocopy the Hokage's signature! What is your punishment?"

Uchiha Qingcheng looked at these people, preparing to muddy the waters and interfere. He figured that once he created chaos, he wouldn't be able to handle them.

Qingcheng also understood that a new broom sweeps clean. If he could disrupt things, these initial bursts of activity wouldn't ignite. Then, these people would become the big shots in the Police Force, obeying orders but not decrees, and even openly opposing him.

Sarutobi Shirauo, still smiling, watched Uchiha Qingcheng, who was stuck in a stalemate, and thought to himself, "Being the head of the Konoha Police Force isn't easy. If you can't handle it, you can go back to where you came from."

Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune were also extremely uneasy, looking at the dark mass of dissenting voices in the conference room, with some members even shouting, "Uchiha Qingcheng, get out of here! This isn't the Uchiha Clan Police Force! Your Uchiha Clan has been wiped out! This is the Konoha Police Force!"

Looking at these troublemakers, Qingcheng thought to himself, "If I try to reason with you, you'll only give me the chance to overturn the table. Don't blame me for not giving you that chance."

Uchiha Qingcheng's face was full of smiles as he coldly said, "You actually dared to disobey the village's orders. I suspect you are Konoha spies. I'll take you down now and send you to Konoha Prison!"

Having said that, his black eyes narrowed, and his scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan activated, the inverted windmill pattern spinning within his eyes.

In an instant, a colossal golden giant stood atop Qingcheng, Susanoo wielding a golden greatsword, staring at the Police Force ahead like an ancient demon god.

Seeing Uchiha Qingcheng directly, Hachikaku Tetsuma was greatly alarmed. He stared intently at the massive Susanoo, which was like a ferocious, monstrous beast.

Hachikaku Tetsuma was terrified, then looked at Sarutobi Shirauo with pleading eyes.

The other company commanders and Sarutobi Clan ninjas were also astonished, staring at Uchiha Qingcheng's eerie Sharingan and the massive Susanoo. They were all shocked and couldn't refute it.

Some members thought to themselves, "No wonder everyone in the village was saying this morning that Uchiha Qingcheng single-handedly wiped out Root and Danzo. He really is that powerful."

Sarutobi Shirauo also wore a solemn expression, thinking to himself, "No wonder Uncle Third Hokage told me not to clash with Uchiha Qingcheng; it turns out he really did awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan."

With a serious expression and his crimson Sharingan, Qingcheng stared at Hachikaku Tetsuma and shouted sternly, "Hachikaku Tetsuma, quickly tell me who's behind you. Who ordered you to do this? The Chief Commander has the signatures of the Third Hokage and Second Hokage. How dare you disobey the Second Hokage's orders and publicly insult the Third Hokage!"

Qingcheng then coordinated his aura and released the Chakra within his body. Instantly, a Chakra current swept around Qingcheng.

That blue Chakra, like a Chakra Cloak, instantly stunned all the Police Force.

Some members covered their mouths in astonishment, exclaiming in shock, "Such powerful Chakra! This Uchiha Qingcheng has gone from being a complete failure to a powerhouse on par with the Hokage!"

Hachikaku Tetsuma instantly filled with terror as he cried out, "Uchiha Qingcheng, don't do anything rash! I'm the captain of the Konoha Guard! I promise you, you're very strong!"
