The Captains Leave, Leading Their Men to Join Uchiha Hanjō!

"I quit! Uchiha Fugaku, I quit!"

Uchiha Xia's words echoed through the Medical Room, fury and indignation intertwined. Even the other squad captains behind him wore grief-stricken expressions.

This time, he truly did not want to do this anymore.

Sarutobi Asuma watched from the side, an amused smile lingering on his face.

"Uchiha Xia, think this through. If you refuse to apologize, then leave the Uchiha Clan!" Uchiha Fugaku stared at Uchiha Xia and spoke each word heavily.

He had not expected Uchiha Xia to openly defy him, much less go against his orders.

"Clan Head, remember this: I'm quitting the Military Police Force, not leaving the clan!" Uchiha Xia glared at Fugaku, refusing to yield this time. "If anyone wants to apologize, go apologize to those scoundrels yourself!"

"You..." Uchiha Fugaku was helpless, but his words carried gravity. "Without a job in the Military Police Force, what will you do? Your daughter is still young. If you lose this job, don't even think about receiving missions from Konoha!"

Perhaps Fugaku was truly panicking. He had become somewhat careless with his words.

"That is none of the Clan Head's concern!" Uchiha Xia flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

He had once looked down on Uchiha Hanjō's Merchant Guild, but after this, he could only go join Uchiha Hanjō. As for Uchiha clansmen going into business?

Heh heh.

The proud Uchiha had long since lost their dignity completely over these past days. Now, he felt that working under Uchiha Hanjō was actually not bad.

At the very least, he would not have to suffer such humiliation and apologize here.

"Fine. Very fine!" Uchiha Fugaku coldly repeated the word several times before turning to the other nine Great Captains of the Uchiha Police Force. "What about you? Do you have the same thoughts? If you don't want to work in the Military Police Force anymore, leave with Uchiha Xia!"

"Clan Head..." The others hesitated.

Given the clan's current situation, if they lost their jobs in the Uchiha Police Force, they might have to take bounty missions outside Konoha. But those were missions the village did not support.

Under normal circumstances, they were illegal!

Unless they had no other choice, they did not want to take such missions.

"Think carefully. What is the point of staying in such a stifling Military Police Force? If we apologize today, how will we enforce the law in the future? Are we supposed to keep apologizing in humiliation forever?" Uchiha Xia looked at the hesitant captains before speaking. "Rather than that, we might as well join Uchiha Hanjō. At least we won't have to keep enduring this humiliation!"

After Uchiha Xia finished speaking, everyone showed hesitation on their faces.

Some looked at Uchiha Fugaku, pursing their lips as if they wanted to speak, but when they saw Fugaku's gloomy expression, they remained silent. {Some people might think Fugaku's personality was too weak. Heh heh... If he had been stronger, he would have resisted when Itachi carried out the Clan Massacre, and he would have pitied those clansmen Itachi killed. But he did nothing. He merely allowed Itachi to slaughter every clansman, only asking Itachi to take care of Sasuke. They were all selfish people. They had been high above everyone else for too long and simply could not understand the thoughts of the lower-ranking clansmen!}

"Clan Head, I'm also quitting the Military Police Force!" After hesitating for a moment, another captain finally spoke.

As soon as he spoke, it was as though Pandora's box had been opened, and the others began to stir as well.

The captains exchanged glances.

Another person stepped forward. "Clan Head, I'm sorry, but I don't want to be a police captain anymore!"

"Clan Head, then I'm leaving too."

"Clan Head, I'll be going first."

"Clan Head..."

Seven more Great Captains spoke in succession, unwilling to continue working for the Military Police Force.

"You... You'd better think this through! Once you leave the Military Police Force, it won't be so easy to come back!" Uchiha Fugaku berated them as he looked at the people who wanted to leave the Military Police Force.

These people were captains of the Uchiha Police Force. If they quit, there would definitely be no shortage of people following them out of the Uchiha Police Force!

But the captains merely lowered their heads. They said nothing, nor did they show any intention of changing their minds.

Just like that,

Including Uchiha Xia, a total of eight people gathered together and walked out of Konoha Hospital. They did not want to remain in this place for even another moment.

At the same time, they all tacitly came to the same decision: they would join Uchiha Hanjō. But before that, they needed to visit the Uchiha Police Force.

"Damn it, damn it!" Uchiha Fugaku's eyes turned cold. Looking at the only two captains remaining, he said resentfully, "Damn Uchiha Hanjō! Damn merchant! You've ruined the Uchiha's great plans!"

If not for what Uchiha Hanjō had said last night, these people would not have betrayed him, their Clan Head!

It was all Uchiha Hanjō's fault, along with those faithless clansmen.

"Clan Head Fugaku, are you still going to apologize or not?" At that moment, Sarutobi Asuma, who had been watching the show all along, suddenly chimed in to remind Fugaku.

With so many people gone, the only representative left to apologize was Uchiha Fugaku himself.

Uchiha Fugaku's expression changed, but he still stepped forward a few paces and apologized to the injured thugs. "I'm sorry about what happened before. My subordinates acted rashly. I hope you can forgive them!"

"Haha. The mighty Uchiha Clan Head is actually apologizing to us. We're truly flattered!" Yamanaka Sandan laughed loudly, then spoke even more arrogantly. "Since Clan Head Fugaku has apologized, I'll give you some face. We have ten brothers here. Fifty thousand taels in compensation for each of them, and we'll drop the charges against the Uchiha Police Force!"

They had nothing to fear now. With Sarutobi Asuma and the Sarutobi Clan backing them, they naturally had to fight for as much benefit as possible.

They had completely unleashed their shameless nature.

Sarutobi Asuma nodded as well. These guys were not bad. They were useful talents!

Uchiha Fugaku now personally experienced the shamelessness of these hoodlums. His face turned livid, and he clenched his fists. "Fine. I agree!"

"Many thanks for Clan Head Uchiha's generosity."

Uchiha Police Force.

At this moment, more than a hundred people had gathered there. They were all members of the police force, waiting here now.

This negotiation concerned their futures.

Everyone felt deeply conflicted, not knowing how the negotiation had gone.

Thus, the hall was silent. No one spoke.

"They're back! Xia Ge and the others are back!"

"They're back!"

"Quick, go welcome them!"

Everyone rushed out, only to see that just eight captains had returned. They could not help but be stunned.

One person gathered his courage and asked, "Xia Ge, why haven't the second captain, the fifth captain, and the Clan Head returned?"

"They..." The moment Uchiha Xia thought of Uchiha Fugaku and the other two captains, anger rose within him. "Those spineless fools are still apologizing to those thugs!"

"They're still apologizing? Then you...?" The man was stunned. He did not dare say the rest, but his meaning was obvious: these eight captains had returned after abandoning the Clan Head and the other two captains.

"Since we're back, I won't hide it from you!" Uchiha Xia swept his gaze over the hundred clansmen, his tone firm. "The eight of us intend to join Uchiha Hanjō. Who among you wants to come with us?"
