What Should I Buy Before Heading Home? / I'm Back!

Taking a group of students to visit a prison is something that definitely needs to be discussed in advance.

Uchiha Shingen went to the Hokage Building that morning to do this.

The situation was simpler with the Police Force, on the other hand.

Despite following the proper procedures, the Police Force processed the paperwork incredibly quickly when Uchiha Shingen went to complete it.

The main reason is that many parents work in the Police Force.

When they learned that Uchiha Shingen had chosen Neji Hyuga and Inuzuka Kiba for his private lessons, the two parents were overjoyed, feeling that Uchiha Shingen truly considered Hyuga Clan and Inuzuka Clan as his own.

The Aburame Clan didn't mind, after all...

Just how "unique" their children are, there's plenty of information about that.

No one but Aburame Clan could teach the children, Aburame Clan everyone expressed their gratitude to Uchiha Shingen for coming to the school to give the children a public lesson.

This favor is very significant.

For a ninja of the Five Kage level to be willing to put aside everything and go to a school to impart his experience and knowledge to a group of children, this is something that cannot be achieved through an exchange of benefits. It can only be explained by the fact that Uchiha Shingen was indeed very humane.

As for whether there will be any danger for the children going to prison.

Everyone said I would laugh heartily.

Are you kidding me? Let's not even talk about Uchiha Shingen was a Five Kage- level ninja who could single-handedly wipe out an entire ninja army squad. Are the people from the four major ninja clans in prison just mascots?

With a bunch of Sharingan and Byakugan users on the surface, dogs taking walks all the time, and insects everywhere, prisoners who can still make headlines in this environment have no chance of getting into Hidden Leaf Prison.

They're all lying on the dissection table.

Since they can't be kept in captivity, why not kill them and keep them for the New Year?

Today, Leaf Village's ANBU has completely turned its attention outwards, and the Police Force has fully restored all its nominal internal functions from its inception, with the military function being the most comprehensively restored.

The current Police Force is a semi-open department. The administrative staff are recruited through open recruitment, while the personnel from the four ninja clans are all concentrated in the military staff, which is the Konoha Military Police Force. The current Police Force has six squads under its command. With the expansion of its forces, its duty area is no longer limited to the village, but has expanded to the entire Leaf Forest.

This position allows the four ninja clans to maximize their strengths, and there is no third party who can challenge it.

Uchiha Shingen led a group of students from north to south through the city and into the territory of Hidden Leaf Prison.

The Konoha Military Police Force had been notified in advance, and to ensure the students' safety, they deployed seven Class A squads to protect them.

The so-called "Rank A" refers to a team consisting of one member each from the Uchiha Clan, Hyuga Clan, Inuzuka Clan, and Aburame Clan, with a minimum rank of Chunin.

They could be used as a scout squad if thrown onto the battlefield.

The students were completely unaware of this; they genuinely believed that Uchiha Shingen taking them on a field trip, and they happily followed him to the prison gate.

At the prison gate, two Aburame Clan ninjas were waiting. When they saw Uchiha Shingen leading a group of students, they went forward to greet him.

"Lord Shingen."

"How's it going? Is everything arranged?"

"Everything's arranged. They plan to break out tonight."

"What a lovely bunch of people," sighed Uchiha Shingen. "Let's not be too cruel. Let them see the starry sky outside the prison before they die; that's a form of humanitarian concern."

"Okay, Lord Shingen."

The two Aburame Clan responded.

In the crowd, Aburame Shino recognized that both ninjas were Special Jōnin of his clan.

They're quite famous because they're twin brothers.

However, that's not what the students are focused on right now.

"Teacher?" a student asked hesitantly, raising his hand.

"What's wrong? Do you need to use the restroom?"

"No way! No... Teacher, what you just said, was it that someone was trying to escape from prison?" the student asked.

"What's so rare? What prisoner doesn't want to escape?" Uchiha Shingen said. "A prisoner who doesn't want to escape isn't a good prisoner."

"Oh..." The student looked a little disappointed. "Then, teacher, are we not going to do a tour today?"

"Who said that? I specifically invited you all here to observe." Uchiha Shingen looked at the group of astonished students and said, "To be honest, this prisoner is quite considerate. I was just thinking of a way to let you see a real battle and get a sense of ninja combat. Remember, such good people are rare in real life."

The students reacted differently.

Some were excited, while others hesitated.

After all, although everyone likes to brag at school, they are still very clear about the fact that they are weaklings.

Most people can't even use the Three-Body Technique effectively.

"Oh? You seem nervous. Don't be afraid, your teacher is here, you'll all be safe and sound," Uchiha Shingen reassured the student who asked the question.

The other person's face immediately turned red.

"Teacher, I'm not afraid at all!"

Young people care a lot about their pride; they'll say anything, but you can't say they're a coward.

This is the essence of youth.

Uchiha Shingen felt absolutely no sarcasm or ridicule about this; he was quite moved, after all, he had started both of his playthroughs by playing cowardly.

This kid is much better than him.

"Good job, you're great. You'll sit in the front row later." Uchiha Shingen gave him a thumbs up, then said to the two Aburame Clan, "Go with the original plan, let the students go to the best viewing spots first."

"Yes, Lord Shingen."

The two Aburame Clan turned around and opened the prison gate. The dark entrance seemed like a bottomless abyss, making many students feel uneasy.

However, being students who had entered the final stage of the exercise, they still had some courage, and they followed Uchiha Shingen inside.

After walking through a dimly lit corridor, Uchiha Shingen led them into a room with trapezoidal seating and had them all sit down.

In front of everyone was a giant floor-to-ceiling window, through which one could see a large circular plaza outside.

"This plaza is the only way for prisoners to escape. It was originally designed to facilitate the prison guards in eliminating prisoners attempting to escape, and it can also be used as an execution site. This room is for watching executions."

Uchiha Shingen first explained to the students, and then said:

"Today is an extracurricular activity, I won't be teaching you anything specific. In the future, you will all become real ninjas, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Right now, you have no chance to experience real combat. Today, you can watch how the garrison forces eliminate prisoners attempting to escape. Both sides are ninjas, and this represents a more realistic portrayal of ninjas in actual combat."

After saying that, Uchiha Shingen found a seat and sat down.

"This is a rare opportunity for students at your level, so cherish it. After all... the next time you see a situation like this, it might be the time for you to personally participate in it."

After saying that, he stopped talking and began to think about what he should buy to take home after class.

The children are still too young to buy ninja toys; they might hurt themselves.

Hmm, let's buy some good food, they're both little gluttons!

Chapter Nine: I'm Back

Not just anyone is qualified to be imprisoned in Hidden Leaf Prison.

The reforms to the Police Force also included Hidden Leaf Prison.

Previously, anyone who was determined to be imprisoned was thrown in; now it's different.

For cases such as petty theft and street fights, the Police Force has special detention centers to hold these people.

Only those convicted of serious and heinous crimes are imprisoned, but such cases are extremely rare.

The main group imprisoned here consists of ninja prisoners, including ninjas from outside the village who attempted to infiltrate the Land of Fire or Leaf Village to cause sabotage or engage in espionage, unfortunate individuals who were caught by Leaf Village's ANBU for cross-border law enforcement, and Konoha Ninja were captured for betraying the village.

The prison authorities also screened these individuals.

For ninjas who still have value, but not enough value, they are concentrated in prisons with only eight hours of patrol time. After eight hours, the iron gate is closed, the water and electricity are cut off, and the people inside are left to their own devices.

Those of significant value were held in separate areas, where they were patrolled 24 hours a day and had their water and electricity supplied continuously.

As for ordinary prisoners, including some ordinary spies captured for serving other countries or ninja organizations, they were detained separately and treated the same as the ninjas who were detained in a centralized location. The difference was that these people were completely unable to cause any trouble.

This riot was caused by the ninja prisoners who were being held in a concentrated manner.

This wasn't the first time; opinions had been raised before, but the military departments of the Police Force believed that such a step was indeed necessary to ensure that prison guards wouldn't be kept away from real combat environments for too long, so they didn't change it.

Even if someone is beaten to death, there's always an autopsy department to guarantee the minimum value of the body.

In comparison, maintaining the military proficiency of the garrison troops is clearly more important. Although it is called rotation, in order to ensure stability, the rotation is done on an annual basis. If ninjas do not kill anyone for a year, their quality will inevitably decline.

The first requirement for ninjas in the military is that they must be able to fight; otherwise, no matter how well they perform in other areas, it's meaningless.

Amidst the students' tense yet expectant gazes, the prison break operation, initiated by a group of ninja prisoners, began as scheduled.

In this world where Earth Release is a type of magical ability), nobody digs tunnels to escape from prison; that's tantamount to suicide.

But you can dig into the wall.

Even walls that have undergone special treatment.

The building used for centralized detention is located to the east of the observation room.

One wall of the building was suddenly and silently "dissolved".

A dozen or so figures darted out from inside and quietly crept towards the edge of the square.

The next moment, all the searchlights around the square were turned on, illuminating the entire square clearly.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, the fugitives stopped moving for a moment, then charged forward headfirst.

I won't touch it anymore, I'll force my way in.

But just moments ago, the square was deserted, and now, as if by magic, dozens of garrison troops have appeared.

There was no unnecessary noise throughout; no one shouted or yelled. They were all real men, grabbing their weapons and getting straight to work.

The battle ended quickly, and the students didn't see any dazzling Ninjutsu used.

The battle is over.

If I had to describe it, it would be...

A group of guard ninjas rushed over, the prisoners fell to the ground, and then they began to move them.

It was the first time I had ever seen a stabbing scene, but the scene was completely different from what the students had imagined.

The prisoners, eager to regain their freedom, did not shout "For freedom!" with passionate fervor.

The garrison that annihilated them didn't say anything like "Who comes?"

Quite a few Shuriken flew, and some Explosive Tag were thrown, but that was about it.

What impressed the students most was that both sides ran incredibly fast, covering such a long distance in the blink of an eye.

If there is anything else, it is that a single exchange of blows will determine life or death.

"Alright, the observation session is over. Everyone can leave school early today, but you need to submit a 3,000-word reflection to me tomorrow."

Uchiha Shingen stood up, reminding most of the students who were still in a daze that it was time to snap out of it.

The following scenes are not suitable for babies.

I also assigned some homework.

How can I not write down my thoughts and feelings after watching a movie?

Teachers come and go, but my review is a constant – I have to write it.

"Teacher, what should we write?" This was someone who hadn't yet come to their senses.

"Well, just write whatever comes to mind. After watching this battle, you'll all have some thoughts about ninjas. Write whatever comes to mind," said Uchiha Shingen. "For example, ninja battles aren't like arena matches where you can outnumber the enemy and not fight against overwhelming odds. Three thousand words is enough."

Urged on by Uchiha Shingen, the students rose and left the observation room.

In the corridor, Uchiha Shingen had them line up again before leading them away.

They didn't go back to school. Uchiha Shingen took them home one by one. It was more convenient for those whose parents worked in the Police Force, as they were taken directly to their parents' homes, except for Haku.

After dropping off the last student, Uchiha Shingen took Haku to the shopping street, bought some treats for the two children, and then returned to the clan's territory together.

He now lives next door to the Fugaku, across from the apartment where Yingzi and the Shiro siblings used to live alone.

The old house was close to his workplace at the Police Force, but now he's often called over by Uchiha Fugaku to discuss matters, so he moved here.
