"W-Wuye jonin, what mission requires everyone to work together?" an Uchiha special jonin stepped forward and asked.
He could not bring himself to call him captain, so he compromised and addressed him as jonin.
The other squad leaders also edged closer in silence.
The three jonin from the police force had slipped away in shame, so for the moment, they could only follow Hyuga Wuye's orders.
Besides, the strength he had displayed just now had earned their acknowledgment. Although he had slapped the Uchiha Clan in the face, he had used the Sharingan to do it, so... that was still barely acceptable.

"What mission? Heh heh..."
Hyuga Wuye tapped the scroll in his hand and smiled. "A mission to raise the Uchiha Clan's prestige."
