"Attack! Kill them!"
Hatake Sakumo wanted to refuse when he heard that voice, but... he realized he could no longer control his own body. If nothing unexpected happened, was his strength really this helpless?
Uh...
He wanted to use his soul to control this body, but... this body was clearly no longer under his control. Following Konohamaru's command, it moved to attack the Uchiha clansmen!
Ding—
He drew the short sword from his back, its blade flashing with a chilling gleam.
"Run! I can't control myself—I'm about to attack you!" In his panic, he shouted at the Uchiha Police Force members, wanting them to retreat!
If they did not move away, he might truly kill them.
"Hmph. You want us to retreat from territory under Uchiha jurisdiction... unless we die, I will not abandon the civilians behind me. This is the duty of the Uchiha Police Force!" The Military Police Force squad captain looked at them and snorted coldly!
He could not leave. Absolutely not.
For Uchiha's glory and their promise, they could not retreat. This was Uchiha's guarantee to the civilians.
Clack.
Hearing their furious shouts, Hatake Sakumo looked shaken. He was shocked that the Uchiha Police Force members were willing to give up their lives to stand before him for the sake of civilians, but he also felt deeply helpless!
Compared to the bloodthirsty Sarutobi Konohamaru, he now trusted the Uchiha and the villagers more. Sarutobi Hiruzen had changed, but... there was nothing he could do. Unable to control his body, he could not help these people. Instead, he was about to slaughter them.
"What are you waiting for? Move! I don't want to waste time here!" Sarutobi Konohamaru urged again. Though Hatake Sakumo put him at ease, he did not dare linger in territory under Uchiha jurisdiction.
