The more viciously Mokijiro cursed, the more furious the Uchiha grew. Yet they did not dare do anything to him, and even when someone could no longer hold back and wanted to strike, Shisui stopped them. As a result, Mokijiro became even more arrogant.

The conflict seemed to be escalating.

Unable to watch any longer, Yan came down from upstairs with several people.

This was trouble.

Seeing Yan arrive, Shisui knew this would not end well.

Yan was nowhere near as easygoing as he was.

Bang!!!

Mokijiro, who had been loudly cursing and hurling accusations just a second ago, was sent flying and slammed heavily into the wall.

The noisy Police Department lobby fell silent in an instant.

"Who gave you the nerve to gather here and cause trouble at the Police Department?" Yan asked coldly.

"What are you standing around for? Is the Police Department a place for you to watch a show?

They call you useless, and you still won't arrest them? Are you saving them for New Year's?"

Everyone present was furious, but without orders, they did not dare act rashly.

Shisui had also been caught in the middle, holding them back.

At Yan's command, the clan members who had long been unable to contain themselves swarmed forward.

One by one, they knocked every troublemaker to the ground. Ignoring their wails and screams, they dragged them toward the holding cells.

Once these people got in there, they would have plenty to enjoy.

"Yan, don't!!"

It was one thing for Yan to teach Mokijiro, the ringleader who had been causing trouble and cursing people, a lesson. But he had also ordered the clan members to arrest everyone else.

Seeing the clan members move one after another, Shisui panicked and tried to stop them.

"Shisui, I'm very disappointed in you."

Yan flashed in front of Shisui and blocked him, then said disappointedly, "I thought you were merely kind-hearted. It seems I was wrong. Your kindness is reserved only for others, never for your own clan."

"I told you long ago that he was no good!"

Zhiyan cursed angrily, "These people came here to make trouble, and it would have been one thing if he didn't arrest them. But he even stopped the clan members! Even when our people were being cursed at, when spit was spraying onto their faces, he remained unmoved and wouldn't let anyone fight back!!"

Zhiyan and Shisui did not get along, so in the past, no one would have taken his words seriously.

Even though Shisui's actions had become increasingly disappointing.

But now, Zhiyan's words struck straight at everyone's hearts.

Which side were you on, Uchiha Shisui?

You demanded that we enforce the law gently and politely, placing all sorts of restrictions on us. Fine, the clan head and elders suggested it too, so we accepted it.

But now, people had come to the Police Department to cause trouble. Not only did you refuse to deal with them, you wouldn't let us act. You even stopped us, leaving us to be cursed at with fingers pointed in our faces.

Their spit was spraying onto our faces. Were you, Uchiha Shisui, even still an Uchiha?

"You can't arrest me! You can't arrest me! I'm going to file a complaint! I'll complain about all of you!"

"Let me go!"

Seeing that the Uchiha were really arresting people, quite a few of them immediately panicked.

Scared now?

What were you doing earlier?

Yan sneered. "Arrest them all and lock them in the holding cells. These people gathered at the Police Department to cause trouble."

Gathering to cause trouble was no minor charge.

And they had done it at the Police Department. That was enough to put them in prison for quite some time.

"Take them all away."

With Yan backing them up, the Uchiha no longer hesitated. Every last one was arrested and thrown into the holding cells.

"I didn't. I just didn't want things to blow up."

Shisui defended himself.

Yan shook his head and said disappointedly, "You should save those words for the clan members who were cursed at and left disappointed!

I will personally report your actions to the clan head. I will also suggest that he remove you from your position as a Police Department squad captain."

When Yan watched the anime in his previous life, he had thought Shisui was a man of temperament. Aside from being a little foolish and brainwashed by the Will of Fire, he had seemed rather pitiful.

Now, it seemed that pitiful people must have something hateful about them.

"Can someone tell me what happened?"

Someone had caused trouble at the Police Department. When such a major incident occurred, Fugaku, who had been resting at home, practically jumped out of bed and rushed to the Police Department immediately.

The clan head had arrived.

The clan members, who had been emotionally agitated just moments ago, gradually calmed down.

Within the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku still carried considerable authority as clan head. At the very least, he had never been lenient when disciplining clan members.

No one spoke. Zhiyan had intended to speak, but after receiving a look from Yan, he decisively shut his mouth.

Fugaku could only look at Yan and Shisui, who were facing each other.

Yan did not give Shisui a chance to explain and answered, "After the new regulations were announced, some people refused to accept them and gathered at the Police Department to cause trouble. Shisui was busy explaining things instead of handling them directly, which allowed the situation to grow worse. The clan members were even cursed at viciously by criminals with fingers pointed in their faces."

"Shisui, is that true?"

Fugaku might be timid in some matters, but when it came to the Uchiha's dignity and prestige, he would not yield an inch.

People had gathered to cause trouble, yet instead of dealing with them directly, Shisui had tried to explain?

More importantly, the Police Department personnel had been thoroughly cursed at. How could that be allowed? We are law enforcers. What were you doing, Uchiha Shisui?!

Faced with the angry gazes of the clan members, Shisui lowered his head in shame.

Yan continued, "Personally, I don't think Shisui is suited for the position of Police Department squad captain. I suggest removing him from his post. Perhaps he can be transferred to the complaint handling department instead. He should be good at that sort of thing."

Since you liked being a good person and playing peacemaker so much, then fine. Go handle those troublesome complaint cases.

The position of Police Department squad captain did not suit you.

Fugaku gave Shisui a long look. "I will consider it."

No matter how highly he regarded Shisui, with everyone watching and the clan members having been wronged, Fugaku could only accept the matter.

Otherwise, the anger in the clan members' hearts could not be soothed.

"Everyone."

Yan did not care whether Uchiha Fugaku was pleased or not. He raised his hand, swept it around, and said loudly, "Remember who we are. Besides serving in the Police Department, we are also members of the Uchiha clan. We belong to the number one ocular jutsu clan in the ninja world. The clan's dignity shall not be trampled upon. No matter when or where, the Uchiha will never wag our tails and beg for favor from anyone!!!"

"The Uchiha's pride will never allow us to bow our heads to anyone!!!"

Why not take advantage of this excellent opportunity to build his reputation and win the clan members' support and goodwill?

Yan acted without hesitation.

"Well said!! Long live the captain!!!"

Zhiyan's face flushed red with excitement as he clenched his fists, shouted loudly, and took the lead in applauding.

The applause grew louder and louder, and the way everyone looked at Yan became fervent and excited.

Having just suffered such humiliation, Yan's impassioned words stirred every one of them into an emotional frenzy.
