Hard to Judge Right and Wrong

Lin Yan crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, supporting herself with her legs.

Beside him were Kakashi and Itachi, who were in a small alley, peeking out and observing what was happening outside the street.

Not far outside the alley, two patrol members of the Uchiha Police Force had just passed by.

For now, there don't seem to be any major problems.

The villagers on the street didn't give them a friendly look.

Fortunately, no disputes arose between the two sides.

The two Uchiha Police Force patrol members simply swaggered down the street.

Itachi looked up at the rooftops across the street, intending to jump up and continue tracking the Konoha Police Force members.

Kakashi followed closely behind, and then Lin Yan.

However, at that moment, everyone suddenly realized something and stopped.

At the same time, a figure appeared suddenly in front of the three of them, as if by ghost.

"Brother Shisui."

Upon recognizing the person, Itachi immediately called out their name.

Kakashi nodded at Shisui Uchiha.

They already knew Shisui, but this was the first time Lin Yan and Shisui had met.

The two of them then sized each other up.

Who is this?

Shisui feigned ignorance and looked at Itachi and Kakashi.

"His name is Lin Yan, and he is currently a Foreign Mercenary samurai in our Konoha Ninja Village."

"Temporarily team up with us for the mission."

Kakashi offered an explanation.

The so-called "Foreign Mercenary" are an organization recently established with special approval by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

I heard it was specifically created for Lin Yan.

However, so far only Lin Yan remains as a member.

Because he wasn't a ninja, his profession could only be defined as that of a samurai.

After Kakashi's explanation, Shisui nodded.

"My name is Shisui Uchiha. Nice to meet you."

Shisui looked at Lin Yan and introduced himself.

They were quite polite.

"My name is Lin Yan, nice to meet you."

Lin Yan responded politely.

"I am here on the orders of the Third Master to carry out this investigation mission with you..."

Shisui then explained.

Upon hearing his words, all three were startled and each had their own guesses.

"In that case, Brother Shisui, let's act together."

Itachi realized that Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions were intended to help Shisui and himself understand the truth behind the conflict between the Uchiha Police Force and the villagers.

He didn't choose to say anything more.

The four of them simultaneously leaped into the air, appearing like ghosts as they landed on the opposite rooftop, quickly following the two members of the Konoha Police Force as they disappeared into the distance.

At first, Lin Yan, Itachi, Shisui, and Kakashi tracked down the four members of the Konoha Police Force and found that they were quite normal.

However, as the patrol time continued and the patrol distance increased, the members of the two Konoha Police Force began to become impatient.

The two even started to complain.

"Damn it, every day is the same old routine, it's so frustrating..."

One of the Konoha Police Force couldn't help but say.

His companion beside him replied lazily, "Ugh... and we have to put up with these guys' cold looks. Look at how they treat us, it's really annoying!"

"Let's just find a reason to arrest them all."

The first to speak was the member of the Konoha Police Force walking on the left, who made the suggestion.

Upon hearing this, the member on the right remained silent, seemingly hesitant.

They are now walking along a sparsely populated street.

That's why the two of them can talk so freely.

However, they were unaware that at that very moment, Lin Yan, Kakashi, Itachi, and Shisui were watching them from the shadows not far away.

These four people not only saw their every move, but also clearly heard their conversation.

Hearing the resentful and even somewhat malicious conversation between the two members of the Uchiha Police Force, Shisui and Itachi both frowned slightly.

Kakashi had no expression, looking lazy and sleepy, and it was impossible to know what he was thinking.

Lin Yan, on the other hand, was simply watching the spectacle.

Anyway, none of this concerns him, whether from an outsider's perspective or from his own personal standpoint.

He was just a "witness" who was brought in to make up the numbers and carry out the task.

This is not something for an "outsider" like myself to meddle in or interfere with.

Itachi and Shisui remained silent, continuing to observe the actions of the two Konoha Police Force.

By this time, the two Konoha Police Force had crossed the street and entered another street.

That side is much more lively.

There were many more pedestrians on the road.

Among the shops along the street, vendors would occasionally call out their wares.

However, upon seeing these two members of the Uchiha Police Force approaching, everyone on the street, from pedestrians to vendors, displayed a mixture of fear and dissatisfaction.

They all looked at the two Konoha Police Force warily.

Most villagers looked on with awe, while a small number looked on with resentment and disgust.

It was as if what they saw was not members of the Konoha Police Force protecting Konoha, but rather Japanese soldiers sweeping through the village.

Even the children playing by the roadside, upon seeing the two members of the Konoha Police Force, all showed disdain and then ran away in a swarm.

"Hateful..."

"That same expression again!!"

Seeing the villagers around them, who were once again looking at them with those same eyes, each of them acting as if they had seen something evil and terrifying.

The two members of the Uchiha Police Force instantly revealed expressions of anger.

Seeing them approach with dark faces, the surrounding villagers became even more panicked and fearful.

Naturally, their hostility towards them grew stronger.

But what's puzzling is that not a single one of these villagers fled.

They stood there on the street, watching the two members of the Uchiha Police Force walk by with unfriendly eyes.

This kind of unfriendly gaze, full of provocation, can easily provoke conflict.

Seeing this, Itachi and Shisui both frowned deeply.

Although they had indeed overheard members of the Uchiha Police Force discussing finding any excuse to arrest the villagers under the guise of official business.

But at this moment, seeing the actions of these villagers, it's hard to say they bear no responsibility.

Neither of them made any rash moves.

Kakashi and Lin Yan continued to observe silently.

Outside on the street, two members of the Uchiha Police Force were walking along when a villager beside them couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "We see this plague god passing by Tenten, it's ruining our business, what bad luck!"
