Noon.

Hayato's squad returned from their patrol.

Their mission today had been focused on the core district; while it wasn't very far, the security demands were the highest there, and it was where the most disputes occurred.

There were quite a few drunks who had been drinking all night, as well as some hot-headed individuals.

Even though the three of them had done their best to avoid trouble, they still ended up dragging three people back, all of them drunks.

At this moment, those men were still spewing filth from their mouths.

Seiichi, who had been holding back the entire way, punched each of them, his gaze as cold as if he were looking at trash.

"Walk in yourselves, or do you want me to send you on your way?"

Hayato covered his face from the side. Good grief, they were just being locked in the Police Force's holding cells, yet he made it sound like he was sending them to the afterlife.

Coupled with that signature look of his, the three drunks shivered and obediently walked into the cells.

"Let's go. We have training after we eat."

Uchiha Rin patted Seiichi on the shoulder before looking over at Hayato.

"Right." Hayato nodded.

This was a standard procedure; even the most ordinary members were required to train during the afternoon break.

Hayato headed toward the cafeteria. Being in the Police Force did have one benefit.

Lunch was handled by the Uchiha clan itself.

You heard that right; it wasn't handled by Konoha, but by the Uchiha themselves.

Apparently, some Konoha elder had claimed there were too many members in the Police Force and that the Uchiha clan needed to solve the issue themselves.

Damn it!

If there really were too many, why didn't you just cut the numbers?

Besides, were there really that many?

The Uchiha clan only had about a thousand people in total, and even fewer were eligible to join the Police Force.

The areas the Police Force was responsible for included the core district, the border outposts of Konoha Village, and the patrol and security work within the Uchiha compound.

Meanwhile, the Anbu and regular ninja were currently only responsible for external vigilance.

There were almost no Uchiha at the important checkpoints along the walls.

Hayato was speechless. If his system had activated earlier, he might have already possessed countless traits by now.

Every single one of these incidents was a manifestation of the malice directed at the Uchiha!

What a massive loss!

"By the way, I heard that the one coming to train us later is Shisui."

Uchiha Rin spoke up suddenly from the side.

"Really?" Uchiha Seiichi, who had been keeping a cold face, immediately changed his expression.

Although they were both a year or two older than Shisui, Uchiha Shisui was the undisputed number one on the surface.

Naturally, he had many admirers.

Hayato, meanwhile, walked ahead, his eyes filled with excitement.

Just as he was nodding off, a pillow appeared; he hadn't expected Uchiha Shisui to be the one guiding them today.

Previously, they had always been guided by squad leaders of the Police Force—veteran Chunin or elite Jonin from within the clan.

Sometimes, it was even an elder of the clan.

An opportunity!

At this moment, only one thought filled Hayato's mind: this was an opportunity.

As long as he could speak with Shisui and use that to... make him feel regret, he would be able to obtain a trait!

If one were to talk about the most powerful jutsu in Naruto, some might say Sage Mode or Wood Release.

But Hayato would say they were all trash. As for the future child of prophecy, Uzumaki Naruto, had you heard of "Talk no Jutsu"?

Hayato really wanted that skill of Naruto's right now.

If nothing else, many people could rely on that technique to solve problems, Shisui included.

Compared to Uchiha Itachi, whose brain was truly warped, Shisui was at least a decent person.

Hayato had absolutely no appetite for this meal.

His mind was entirely occupied with thoughts of how to approach this Uchiha genius later.

"Shisui is here!"

Hayato, who was deep in thought, was interrupted by a sudden exclamation, and then he saw Uchiha Seiichi dash off like a gust of wind.

"Seiichi is still like that. Are you going to eat, Hayato?"

Uchiha Rin finished speaking and turned back, only to be taken aback.

Hayato stood up directly, patted Rin on the shoulder, and chuckled, "Whatever we're eating, let's hurry over."

Uchiha Shisui had arrived; even though he hadn't made up his mind yet, there was no reason not to head over now.

After saying this, Hayato left immediately.

Left behind, Uchiha Rin helplessly took the three meal trays over to the washbasin.

Hayato walked quickly to the second floor of the Police Force, the place where the Police Force announced their weekly mission assignments.

"I heard Shisui is going to explain the most outstanding genjutsu and Body Flicker Technique today!"

Hayato glanced to the side and saw the Uchiha clansmen who had arrived early to grab seats discussing it heatedly.

There was no helping it; in the ninja world, strength was king, and this display was already considered restrained.

Hayato found a seat and sat down; it was considered to be in the back rows.

As members of the Police Force filed in one after another, many crowded toward the front, hoping to hear more.

Even Seiichi and Rin were the same.

Hayato just sat quietly in his original seat and glanced at the clock on the wall.

It was about time.

Sure enough, the next moment, Uchiha Shisui's figure walked in slowly.

As luck would have it, he happened to enter through the door behind Hayato, and when Hayato glanced over, Uchiha Shisui happened to look over as well.

There was no helping it; this Uchiha clansman's seat was far too removed from the other clansmen.

It was hard not to notice him.

After Shisui smiled and nodded at Hayato, he walked toward the stage.

The goal had been achieved.

Hayato wore a smile in response; this was the first step.

Next, it would depend on how Shisui explained today's content.

If it went as he thought, then his goal for today would be reached.

The conference room remained quiet; this was a rare learning opportunity, and the members of the Police Force listened very attentively.

Truth be told, Shisui indeed had a unique understanding of the Body Flicker Technique and genjutsu.

At the very least, Hayato admitted that he had learned a few things, though he couldn't practice them practically for the time being, otherwise he could have gained even more.

"Everyone, you are all members of the Police Force. Have you ever considered that authority does not rely on the deterrence of force, but on the trust of the villagers?"

After finishing the scheduled instruction, Shisui took a deep breath and said.

This was his purpose for coming today, and a Uchiha squad leader to the side stood up and said sternly, "Shisui, that's enough."

"Senior, this is my own personal intention. If you have any objections, please take them up with the Clan Head."

Shisui ignored the veteran chunin, whose expression was extremely ugly, and instead looked at the members of the Police Force.

Recently, he had seen much and thought much, which was why he had given this lecture today.

However, the atmosphere in the conference room had already frozen the moment Shisui said, "Authority does not rely on the deterrence of force."

Bam!

A member of the Police Force slammed his hand on the table and stood up, asking angrily, "Shisui, I don't agree with that."

"Are those eyes of yours only capable of seeing your so-called ideals? Or are we, just as the villagers see us, nothing but a clan of lunatics who only know how to use the Sharingan!"

"The trust of the villagers? Tell me, what can trust be traded for?"
