The Uchiha Brat Sure Knew How to Put on a Show!

The group passed through the doors of the Konoha Military Police Force and entered the hall.

Yongye stopped and looked up, his gaze sweeping across the room.

The hall had completely changed.

Before, it had been an ordinary office. A reception counter stood in the middle, piled high with documents and scrolls. A few chairs sat haphazardly against the wall, which bore the Uchiha Gunbai clan crest and a plaque displaying the Konoha Military Police Force's Team Rules.

Now all of that was gone.

The reception counter had been moved, the documents cleared away, the chairs removed. Even the clan crest and plaque had been taken down.

The entire hall had been emptied.

From the entrance to the far wall, nothing blocked the view. The stone floor had been polished to a shine and gleamed coldly in the afternoon sun. The walls had been repainted, gray-white lime covering the original wooden panels until they looked as clean as a blank sheet of paper.

A huge new plaque hung high on the wall.

It was dark brown, with intricate patterns carved along its edges and copper fittings on its corners. The characters on its face were not carved but painted in gold, their strokes glittering in the afternoon sun.

Justice Above!

Love Below!

Eight characters in two rows, each as large as a washbasin. The gold stood out against the gray-white wall like coins set into its surface.

Beneath the plaque stood a desk.

It was new, made of dark brown solid wood, its surface polished smooth as a mirror. Simple patterns adorned its corners, and its four thick legs stood firmly on the floor.

A wooden Gavel sat on the desk. Made of Rosewood, it was square and solid, with rounded edges and a dark red sheen in the light.
