Kurenai Returns

Qingcheng then divided the more than 300 people into three battalions, appointing Shouhon Yihan the captain of the first battalion, Yamanaka Fu as the chief of staff, the captain of the second battalion, and Aburame Torune as the captain of the third battalion.

Let Nara Ji continue as head of the finance department, and let them choose the stronger team members to take over as company commanders.

Among these Police Force personnel, Aburame Torune is the strongest, Elite Jonin, and all the Police Force personnel admire him greatly."

Yamanaka Fu, by referring to himself as the minister's brother-in-law, earned the respect of his team members.

Shouhon Yihan only has the strength of Special Jonin. Special Jonin Konoha is someone whose strength hasn't reached the Jonin level; they're Apprentice Jonin, or sometimes called Apprentice Jonin.

One level above that is Jonin, and before that are Elite Jonin. There's no way around it; the Police Force is full of mediocre people."

Qingcheng thought to himself, "On the seventh day of missing my Uchiha Clan cousin, if the Uchiha Clan hadn't been wiped out, I could have clashed with Hiruzen Sarutobi right now and killed him outright."

Qingcheng sighed again. He thought to himself, "I have no foundation in Konoha. Even if I kill Hiruzen Sarutobi, becoming Hokage will still be difficult. The powerful ninja clans of Konoha won't support me."

Qingcheng thought to himself, "With just the current Mangekyō Sharingan, without a team to operate it, it will be difficult to manipulate Konoha. Also, Hiruzen Sarutobi the Reaper Death Seal, so we can't afford to break off relations just yet."

In an effort to quickly stabilize the situation, Shouhon Yihan had the members of the First Squad speak up, "Captain Uchiha Qingcheng is my adoptive father. If you disobey my orders, I will have my adoptive father, the captain, expel you all."

The entire Police Force looked astonished and exclaimed, "This kid caught a lucky break in his life, and his career has skyrocketed! He's like a carp leaping over the dragon gate!"

Seeing that the three brigades were generally functioning normally, Qingcheng turned and left, heading towards the Naka River, intending to go home and visit his family.

Shouhon Yihan, along with Yamanaka Fu, Aburame Torune, and others, watched Qingcheng leave and shouted, "Respectfully seeing off Minister Qingcheng!"

Members of the first, second, and third brigades also shouted, "Respectfully seeing off Minister!"

Looking at the sparse crowd, Qingcheng sighed inwardly and said speechlessly, "You can't even chant your slogans in unison. Aren't you ashamed to go out here?"

Upon hearing Qingcheng's reprimand, all the members of the Police Force lowered their heads in shame. Shouhon Yihan said with a embarrassed expression, "Don't worry, Minister. We'll practice chanting slogans this afternoon. I promise everyone will be able to chant them in unison."

Qingcheng then addressed Yamanaka Fu, saying, "Go and interrogate Hachikaku Tetsuma. Get his confession; it will be useful when we search his house tonight."

Shouhon Yihan said with a fawning expression, "Minister, I know the Great Memory Restoration Technique. Would you like me to do it? I'll make that guy feel like he's floating on air, hehehe."

Qingcheng said with great satisfaction, "Then it's decided, Brother Mad Demon. Make sure he confesses to all the crimes."

Qingcheng then took out a document from his pocket, which was a letter between the head of the Hakkaku Clan and Shimura Danzō, exchanging information.

The head of the Hakkaku Clan, Hachikaku Hoshi, expressed his loyalty to Danzo and agreed to join forces against the Uchiha Clan.

Back then, the Hachikaku Hoshi frequently insulted Uchiha Fugaku in public to show his loyalty to Danzo, and privately spread rumors about the Uchiha Clan. He was a top-notch troll.

Therefore, Uchiha Qingcheng planned to first target the Hakkaku Clan, making these Danzo loyalists pay the price and confiscating all their family assets.

The Hakkaku Clan's Ninjutsu is primarily Wind Release Ninjutsu, and most clan members possess Wind Chakra, so they work extremely hard to please the Shimura Clan.

Holding the documents handed to her by Qingcheng, Shouhon Yihan immediately said, "Minister, please rest assured, by the afternoon at the latest, my Great Memory Restoration Technique will be able to obtain the confession."

Qingcheng used a Body Flicker Technique to leave the Konoha Police Force immediately.

Looking at the sparse number of team members, Qingcheng couldn't help but think to himself, "If Danzo saw these people sent to Root, he'd shake his head in disapproval."

In the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, Uchiha Qingcheng returned to his former clan compound. He saw the dilapidated state of the compound, with scattered dark red bloodstains on the ground and marks left by Ninjutsu on the walls.

Qingcheng couldn't help but complain, "Uchiha Obito, if Rin knew you were such a piece of trash, she'd seal you in with cement instead of letting you chisel it out."

Qingcheng suppressed the memories in her heart and walked straight back to her front door. Looking at the rusty door, a wave of sadness washed over her. With great difficulty, she opened the door and blurted out, "I'm back."

But no one in the house responded. Looking at the dark red floor, Qingcheng remained silent, then walked to the wall and took down the photos of his mother Uchiha Momoko, and his younger sister Uchiha Mei.

Qingcheng secretly vowed in his heart, "Mother, Mei, no matter the cost, I will never let those who hurt you go. Shimura Danzō's tragic death was just the beginning; this matter will never end."

Qingcheng went into the basement of the house and looked at Uchiha Yongcheng's portrait and the memorial altar. He said directly, "Father, this time I will use your Sharingan. May I awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."

This basement is very secluded, which is also a custom of the Uchiha Clan, where they place the remains of their deceased ancestors in the attic or basement for worship.

Generally, the Sharingan and remains of the Uchiha Clan members who die in battle are sent back to their homes so that their families can bury them.

The Sharingan is usually kept as a sacred object. If a descendant of the Uchiha Clan loses their eyes on the battlefield, they will directly transplant the Sharingan of their father or a relative.

These attics are very secluded; unless it's someone from the same clan, even members of the Uchiha Clan wouldn't know about someone else's altar.

Qingcheng opened a small hidden compartment under Uchiha Yongcheng's portrait, took out a small glass bottle, and inside the bottle were a pair of bright red Sharingan.

Qingcheng took away Uchiha Yongcheng's portrait again and said with a serious face, "Dad will burn more incense for you. You must become the God of Asura of Hell as soon as possible, otherwise I will lose face if I am exposed later."

Just then, Uchiha Qingcheng, through Yomotsu Hirasaka's Dōjutsu, sensed that Kurenai Yuhi was not far from Konoha. Qingcheng thought to himself, "Kurenai, you'll be back soon. I'm here!" Then, he used the Body Flicker Technique again.

Qingcheng moved towards Konoha's village, intending to call Uchiha Yamafuku to go and greet Kurenai Yuhi together.
