Police Work

Uchiha Fugaku, recognizing the key point in Naraku's words, spoke up:

"If the peace negotiations are successful and the Hokage fails to obtain reparations, then the blood of the Konoha Ninja, and the blood of our Uchiha, will have been shed in vain. Someone must step forward and take responsibility for this peace agreement."

Uchiha Itachi, the eldest son of Uchiha Fugaku, is only five years old. His talents in all aspects are comparable to Chakra's in his prime. He has successfully refined his Kakashi and has a considerable amount of Chakra. He is also proficient in Fire Style ninjutsu. Fugaku had previously taken Itachi to the Iwagakure Battlefield.

Naraku glanced at Uchiha Fugaku. Fugaku wasn't stupid; he could see through some things. Naraku concluded:

"This responsibility can only be borne by Sarutobi Hiruzen, or the Jonin Class can vote and discuss peace talks. However, I believe that peace talks have already made progress."

Sarutobi Hiruzen has some sense of responsibility and might resign to take responsibility. The next important issue is the position of the Fourth Hokage...

If the Third Hokage resigns, the next step will be to elect the Fourth Hokage.

Upon hearing Naraku's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

"Naraku, your fame resounds throughout the Shinobi World, and your achievements are outstanding. Konoha are certainly qualified to be Hokage. It's time for the Uchiha to become Hokage of Konoha!"

Uchiha Yakumi's former residence was in Konoha, and he was very well-informed about all kinds of news from the Ninja Wars. Among the many heroes of Konoha during the Ninja Wars, Naraku was an absolutely outstanding one.

"The Yellow Flash also made outstanding contributions and took over Jonin Class Leader of the Orochimaru. Perhaps the Third wanted to support the Yellow Flash to become Hokage."

Uchiha Fugaku added.

"The Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato, is a disciple of Sannin, one of the Jiraiya, right? Although the name Yellow Flash is indeed extraordinary, Naraku is no less impressive. Besides, the Yellow Flash is a commoner ninja, so how could he have so many supporters?"

You high-ranking members of the Uchiha, considered upper-class Uchiha, are quite sensitive to matters of power. The Yellow Flash is clearly a commoner ninja with no foundation, relying only on a few students to compete with the Uchiha Clan? How could he possibly win?

If the Third Hokage had given his full support, he might have been able to compete, but the Third's purpose in supporting the Fourth Hokage is self-evident.

The Uchiha Sarutobi Hiruzen Jonin arena were not fools. Even those who had previously respected Sarutobi Hiruzen were now filled with doubts about his behavior.

Naraku heard the analysis from the people in the arena, and it was not far from what he had thought.

Naraku had the Uchiha and the Military Police Force as his base, giving him a strong foundation and a large number of supporters who allowed him to directly seize power. Namikaze Minato, on the other hand, clearly did not have that kind of influence.

"Alright, that's all for today. Starting tomorrow, the Security Department will begin Konoha Grand Patrol Operation. Everyone, please do your jobs. Meeting adjourned."

"Hi" X8

Wearing a black vest, Uchiha Mokuhi was patrolling the streets with several members of the Security Department.

The Konoha Grand Patrol Operation a mission issued by Leader Naraku, requiring various departments to strengthen patrols of the streets, search for suspicious persons, assist the injured, rescue orphans and others in need, covering a wide range of tasks.

Uchiha Mokuhi finished searching his patrol area and nodded to himself. Konoha's relief funds and pensions were being distributed in installments with delays, but at least there was assistance being provided, so not many people had lost their income.

However, there are significantly more orphans and widows within Konoha.

"Is that a church? Why are there so many children? Master Mu Huo, look over there."

A member of the Military Police Force shouted at Mu Huo, who, somewhat impatient, looked in the direction the member was pointing.

"We're outside Konoha, so it's no longer our jurisdiction. Just keep a record and continue patrolling."

Uchiha Mokuhi glanced at it a few times, waved his hand, and continued his patrol.

Uchiha Mokuhi had served in the Military Police Force for many years, rising from squad leader to company commander, and was now addressed as "sir" by his fellow officers.

In this large-scale inspection operation by the Security Department, Mu Huo was chosen to lead the inspection. As a veteran member of the Security Department with extensive experience, he understood that the Security Department only needed to manage the people and affairs within its own jurisdiction.

Other matters are none of their concern. If anything seems unusual, simply make a record and report any unusual circumstances during your work briefing.

"Yes, Lord Woodfire."

"Um"

Mu Huo turned around, stepped down from the high wall, and continued patrolling the streets.

The villagers in the street greeted Mu Huo warmly.

"Mr. Mu Huo, why are you leading the patrol?"

"Isn't this Uchiha Mokuhi? What brings you here?"

"Mr. Moku, please try my family's sushi."

Uchiha Mokuhi responded to the enthusiastic villagers one by one, but did not accept their kindness.

The discipline of the Military Police Force prohibits members from accepting bribes from villagers. Otherwise, if the Supervision Division finds out, they will definitely be subject to substantial punishment.

Since the Military Police Force was reorganized into departments, Uchiha Mokuhi, as a veteran member of the Public Security Division, has become familiar with most of the villagers in the area.

Respected by many villagers, Uchiha Mokuhi was responsible for maintaining order, punishing the strong who bullied the weak, protecting the vulnerable, and helping those with disabilities.

This job instilled a strong sense of responsibility in Mokuho; protecting the villagers of Konoha and upholding justice were his duties as a member of the Military Police Force.

"Lord Mu Huo, you're so popular! You'll be my idol from now on!"

Behind Uchiha Mokuhi was a new member with red hair. Seeing how respected Uchiha Mokuhi was by the villagers and how well he got along with them, he couldn't help but feel excited about his own future.

"Uzumaki Maru, once you're officially in charge of an area, as long as you have good moral character and abide by the rules and regulations of the Security Department, you'll be respected by the villagers just the same. Upholding justice and eliminating violence is the job of our Military Police Force."

Uchiha Mokuhi remained unmoved by the praise he received from those behind him. Instead, he acted like an elder instructing a newcomer, emphasizing discipline, rules, and justice.

"I will! Lord Mokuka, upholding justice and eliminating evil has always been my ideal; this is my ninja way!"

Uzumaki Marumaru's expression of worship softened slightly, and he answered with a very solemn face.

"Yes, you all need to remember this too. If any of you become troublemakers, I, as your superior, will deal with you directly without the need for the Supervision Division to intervene. There will be absolutely no leniency, understand?"

Uchiha Mokuhi nodded in approval of Uzumaki Maru's attitude, while giving a warning to the other Security Department personnel behind him.

"Understood, sir!" X3

Wood and Fire's subordinates responded seriously.

In the Military Police Force, the general term of address between superiors and subordinates is "commander," but no one pays much attention to the more informal or intimate terms used.

"Um"

As the squad leader, Mu Huo rarely had the chance to guide new recruits through their work. Seeing these newcomers reminded him of his own past.
