The Shimura clan head wiped the sweat from his forehead and stammered,
"Since early this morning, the Police Department has been acting like it's gone mad, arresting our clansmen everywhere on the most ridiculous pretexts.

"Heh. The Uchiha are really getting more and more pathetic."
Without giving the Shimura clan head a chance to continue, Danzo sneered, "Go. Head straight to the Hokage Office Building and report this to Hiruzen. He'll handle it."
The Third Hokage would never turn a blind eye to such blatant retaliation.
