Ch. 21The Shadow Danzo, the Regretful Sarutobi—Here We Go Again
The Uchiha reshaped the Konoha Military Police Force and began building closer ties with villagers, prompting alarm at the Hokage Building. After Danzo blamed Hiruzen Sarutobi for letting Shinji Uchiha change the village institution within the rules, Hiruzen challenged Danzo to name who should be the Fifth Hokage.
- Uchiha Qingcheng followed an old woman's advice and awakened Three Tomoe, while Uchiha officers across Konoha awkwardly tried to befriend villagers under the new rules.
- Hyuga Hiashi observed the Military Police Force's changes, while Shikaku Nara told Inoichi Yamanaka and Akimichi Choza that the Uchiha had changed Clan Heads and expected the Third to call a meeting.
- Uchiha Itachi saw the transformed Military Police Force and smiled faintly.
- Danzo protested the Uchiha Clan Head's replacement and the restructuring of the Konoha Military Police Force, but Hiruzen explained that the changes had been filed within the rules.
- Hiruzen showed Danzo an old authorization bearing Tobirama Senju's signature that supported the Military Police Force's expanded duties, and explained that Shinji Uchiha had publicized it across Konoha.
- Danzo blamed Hiruzen for the situation, Hiruzen angrily asserted his authority as Hokage, and he challenged Danzo to say who should be the Fifth Hokage.
