What's wrong with the Konoha Military Police Force!?

(Obito's brain is just here, anyway.)

The new semester had just begun.

Teacher Oki felt that his teaching career was facing a challenge.

Because on the very first day of school, there was a serious case of truancy!

There were actually five students absent!

"Let's start with the two of you."

At this moment, Teacher Oki sat behind his desk, his stern gaze fixed on the two brothers.

According to the student records:

The hedgehog-haired boy on the left was named Uchiha Obito, the younger brother.

The boy with the short buzz cut on the right was named Uchiha Ruohuo, the older brother.

"Older brother, you go first. Why did you skip the first two periods today?"

"Teacher, we encountered a special incident," the buzz-cut boy, Uchiha Ruohuo, said earnestly.

"A special incident?" Teacher Oki frowned.

"We ran into a few Hyuga students who were being beaten. They were in a bad way, so we did a good deed and took them to the hospital."

Beaten students?

A good deed? Took them to the hospital?

Took them to the hospital!?

Teacher Oki narrowed his eyes, activating his skill: Teacher's Eye, and sized up the two brothers.

The older brother was fine, his clothes quite clean.

But the younger brother, looking disheveled with a half-formed black eye...

Combined with the other students who were absent and the Hyuga clan status mentioned in the files...

Teacher Oki rubbed his throbbing temples.

"Ruohuo, tell the truth. Were you two the ones who beat up those Hyuga students?"

Teacher Oki emphasized the word "Hyuga" heavily.

"Yes," Ruohuo answered crisply.

Case closed.

The Uchiha and Hyuga clans had always looked down on each other.

Students from these two major clans were constantly competing against each other at school.

Friction was normal.

In the previous graduating class, just before graduation, students from these two clans had even arranged a fight.

Guiding children from these two clans to compete fairly in school and avoid private brawls had always been a priority for all the teachers at the Ninja Academy.

But Teacher Oki never expected...

That the first-grade class he had just taken on this year would cause such a malicious incident on the very first day of school?

After dealing with these two brothers, Teacher Oki would have to rush to the hospital.

"But the victim is Obito, Teacher."

Before Teacher Oki could speak, Ruohuo pointed to Obito's black eye and his torn clothes.

"They hit Obito first. I had no choice but to help Obito perform some legitimate self-defense."

"But I didn't expect them to be so weak..."

"So, Obito is the victim. I just sent the perpetrators to the hospital, Teacher."

Ruohuo spread his hands and recounted the sequence of events.

On the way to school that morning, he realized he had forgotten his schoolbag halfway there, so he sent Obito back to fetch it.

But after waiting a long time without seeing Obito return, Ruohuo felt something was wrong and went back to look for him.

He ended up finding a few Hyugas beating Obito halfway there, and with extreme brutality!

Could he tolerate that? He was Obito's big brother, after all!

So, Ruohuo roasted the few Hyugas with Fire Style and sent them straight to the hospital...

"..." Teacher Oki opened his mouth.

So this brawl was actually the older brother being forced to act to protect his younger brother?

And although he defeated his opponents, the fact that he knew to send them to the hospital wasn't exactly a bad virtue... as if!

You beat people so badly they ended up in the hospital, and you're still emphasizing that your brother is the victim!?

"Hoo..."

Teacher Oki took a deep breath, stood up immediately, and said in a stern tone:

"I am heading to the hospital now. You two must behave yourselves in school, understand?"

This was directed entirely at Ruohuo.

Compared to his younger brother, who looked a bit dim-witted, Ruohuo, as the older brother, was clearly much more troublesome.

"Don't worry, Teacher. Our Uchiha clan hates evil with a passion, and the reputation of the Konoha Military Police Force is known to the entire village."

"I will definitely help you maintain order in the classroom!"

Ruohuo said with a serious expression.

"My brother is right!"

Obito puffed out his chest, looking very proud.

"..."

Teacher Oki felt a headache coming on.

"You don't need to do anything! Just stay put and behave!" Teacher Oki finally couldn't help but snap.

"This is the Ninja Academy, there are no great villains here, so there is no need to bring the methods of the Konoha Military Police Force into the school!"

No sooner had Teacher Oki finished speaking than he felt something was wrong.

It wasn't that there was anything wrong with what he said; he just wanted the two problem children to behave.

It was mainly Ruohuo's reaction...

"Teacher!"

"What did you say about the Konoha Military Police Force!?"

Ruohuo's expression turned cold, and he took a large step forward, confronting Oki directly!

"Since the founding of Konoha, the Konoha Military Police Force has been dedicated to the village's public security, never slacking for a moment over these many years!"

"Does the teacher have some opinion about the Konoha Military Police Force?"

"Or is it that you have an opinion about the Uchiha!"

Ruohuo's voice grew louder, and his eyes became increasingly dangerous.

Other teachers in the office looked over one after another, their expressions filled with surprise.

This first-year student... seems to be lecturing his homeroom teacher?

And on the very first day of school, no less!

Never mind the other teachers, even Oki was stunned at this moment!

"I..."

"I will report this matter to the Clan Head."

Oki had barely managed to get one word out before Ruohuo cut him off.

"I will tell the Clan Head that Teacher Oki, who is responsible for teaching Ninja Academy students, holds extremely serious prejudices against the Uchiha clan!"

"The teachers at the Ninja Academy are personally vetted by the Hokage, aren't they?"

"So, are the other teachers like this too? Then is it that the Hokage has some opinion about the Uchiha..."

"Enough!"

Seeing that Ruohuo was becoming increasingly outrageous, Oki activated a Body Flicker, hurriedly covering Ruohuo's mouth.

He then signaled to a few younger colleagues in the office.

The juniors understood immediately, quickly leaving the office and closing the door behind them.

After confirming the door was shut, Oki looked at Ruohuo.

The boy's eyes were calm and earnest.

But having dealt with children at the Ninja Academy for over a decade, Oki caught a glimmer of cunning deep within the boy's gaze...

At that moment, Teacher Oki realized he had been played.

Those alarmist words were likely just to...

Cover up the serious incident where they beat someone into the hospital?

How could this brat be so calculating!

"So... they were beaten quite severely by you, is that it?"

Oki finally released Ruohuo, saying with a throbbing head.

"The victim is Obito, Teacher," Ruohuo emphasized.

"I know..." Oki rubbed his temples again. "You were acting in righteous defense, protecting your brother; you aren't in the wrong."

With the previous lesson learned, how could Oki dare to say something like "Regardless of the reason, fighting is wrong"?

"Big brother is super amazing, big brother is not wrong!" Obito agreed.

Teacher Oki's headache only worsened.

"In any case, stay put at the academy for now. As for how this matter will be handled in the end... I will report it truthfully."

Oki placed heavy emphasis on the word "truthfully."

"Aside from that, there is something else we need Teacher Oki's help with," Ruohuo said, raising his hand.

"Hm?" Teacher Oki raised an eyebrow. The way the brat was raising his hand to speak now actually looked a bit like a proper student.

"Our lunch was spilled during the fight they started. Please, Teacher Oki, you must inform their parents and demand compensation."

Ruohuo said earnestly, "Furthermore, there is Obito's medical fee, compensation for emotional distress, my own chakra exhaustion fee, and the rescue fee for carrying him to the hospital..."

As he spoke, ignoring Teacher Oki's increasingly gloomy expression, Ruohuo held up two more fingers.

"Please count the emotional distress fee as two portions. I'll let mine slide, but Grandma will surely be heartbroken when she sees Obito like this."

"Grandma is the most important person to both Obito and me. Even Clan Head Fugaku treats her with the utmost respect."

"Making her feel heartache comes with a very high price..."
