Abusing Public Power for Personal Gain

This villager runs a small shop by the roadside, selling fruit.

At this point, he was probably already in a bad mood because there was really no business in the store.

It's also possible that it was simply to vent emotions against the members of the Uchiha Police Force.

His muttered complaint was clearly heard by the two Konoha Police Force who had just passed by his stall.

The two of them immediately became like a powder keg that had been ignited.

They stopped and all looked at the vendor.

The vendor's expression stiffened slightly at first, but then he became confident and didn't seem guilty at all.

He met the sharp gazes of the two Konoha Police Force, staring at each other intently.

"What were you saying just now?"

One of the Konoha Police Force finally lost his temper and loudly questioned the vendor.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Recently, the villagers have completely lost any respect for them.

Not only are they becoming increasingly audacious, but now they even dare to confront them.

This can't go on!

Sooner or later, the Uchiha Clan will lose even the most basic prestige within the entire Konoha Village.

"What... what do you want?"

The vendor seemed a little guilty.

At that moment, he subconsciously took half a step back and, forcing himself to speak, responded to the member of the Konoha Police Force.

"Hateful..."

"You bastard, I now suspect you're a spy who infiltrated the village! Come back with us immediately for questioning!"

The Konoha Police Force felt strongly offended.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he gritted his teeth and took direct action to subdue the vendor.

"What nonsense are you spouting! How could I possibly be a spy?!"

The vendor was stunned when he heard what the other person said.

Seeing the other person's hand on his shoulder, he instinctively twisted his body in an attempt to struggle.

But how can an ordinary person possibly fight against a professionally trained and highly skilled ninja?

The vendor's attempt to break free failed, and he was instead subdued by another member of the Uchiha Police Force using even more forceful methods.

Two members of the Uchiha Police Force simultaneously tackled the vendor to the ground.

The vendor struggled desperately.

But it felt as if two huge mountains were pressing down on them, making it impossible for them to move.

"You bastards, this is slander! You're openly slandering me!! Let me go! Let me go!"

The vendors shouted loudly in frustration.

"Enough with the nonsense!"

"The Uchiha Police Force would never easily frame innocent people! Come back with us and cooperate with the investigation!!"

"If you dare to resist again, you'll suffer!"

One of the Konoha Police Force on the left issued a warning.

After binding the vendor tightly, the two men pulled him to his feet and prepared to leave.

However, at that moment, the merchant's wife, who had heard the commotion, rushed out of the shop.

She tugged at the clothes of one of the Konoha Police Force and pleaded, "Sirs, you must have misunderstood. My husband isn't a spy; he's just an honest, law-abiding businessman..."

"Please, please don't take him away! Please, we can pay the fine..."

The vendor's wife kept pleading with the two Konoha Police Force.

However, they remained unmoved and insisted on taking the merchant back for questioning.

One of them even shoved the seemingly thin and small woman away quite roughly.

"Get out of our way! Don't obstruct our work!"

"If you continue to cause trouble, be careful, or you'll be taken back for questioning too!!"

The Konoha Police Force on the left issued a menacing warning.

"You, you really can't take him away! Oh my god, he's so innocent..."

"Please, where are you taking him? How long will it take before you release him?"

The merchant's wife pleaded desperately, but to no avail.

She had to ask how she could see her husband again.

"Don't worry! Just stay home and wait patiently!"

"Once it's proven that your husband is innocent, we will naturally release him without any problems!"

"You'd better not wander around or say anything carelessly during this time!"

"Because you might also be an accomplice of a spy, we'll come back to you if needed and ask for your cooperation in the investigation!"

After the two Konoha Police Force finished speaking menacingly, they turned and escorted the merchant away.

Meanwhile, the vendor was still struggling and resisting, shouting repeatedly.

"Let me go! This is clearly slander!"

"What evidence do you have to accuse me of being a spy? You're abusing your power for personal gain!!"

"Bastards, you Uchiha bastards!"

"..."

This vendor clearly harbored deep resentment.

At this point, he not only shouted and tried to resist, but gradually became less polite and started cursing at the two members of the Uchiha Clan's Konoha Police Force.

Even the Uchiha Clan behind them were not spared and were also attacked by the group.

The two Konoha Police Force were furious, their faces growing increasingly grim.

But now, more and more villagers are gathering in the streets to watch.

They dared not attack the vendor in front of so many people, and could only grimace and hasten their departure.

However, at that moment, someone in the surrounding crowd shouted, "The Uchiha Police Force has really gone too far!!"

"How could they arrest people without any evidence!"

Immediately, someone responded, "Yeah! This is too arbitrary. They really have too much power. If this continues, they'll be the ones calling the shots in Konoha!"

"It's absolutely outrageous! They're completely indiscriminate! How can anyone live in peace in the village like this?"

"This is outrageous! We must make them release them; we can't continue to compromise like this!!"

"..."

The surrounding villagers numbered at least a hundred to two hundred at this moment.

So many people gathered together, each taking turns criticizing the Konoha Police Force.

The scene and the scale of it were something most people couldn't handle.

Faced with the pointing fingers and loud criticism from so many villagers, the two Konoha Police Force both wore serious expressions.

"These guys, we'll catch them all and give them a good beating sooner or later!"

One of the Konoha Police Force muttered through gritted teeth to his comrade.

"Get out of my way!"

"If you dare to block our way again, we will arrest you all for obstructing official duties!!"

Another member of the Konoha Police Force pointed at the villagers who were gathering around and loudly warned them.
