Reforming the Konoha Military Police Force

On the vast ocean, the waves crash against the beach like walls of water, and every now and then you can see Sea Cat emerging from the water to play.

In the distance are golden sand dunes, and a group of Kung Fu Dugong are testing their martial arts skills nearby.

This is Alabasta, a major power located in the first half of the Grand Line.

The Pirate World is rich in diverse species, including Sea Cat, Kung Fu Dugong, and Quick Duck, all of which are unique to Alabasta.

"It's so hot!"

Sabo held the water bag, wanting to drink some water, but found that there was less than a mouthful left.

"Hang in there a little longer, Sabo. We'll be in town soon. We can buy some fresh water and alcohol then."

Koala comforted Sabo beside him.

Fresh water is an extremely scarce resource when sailing on the high seas, and it is not easy to preserve. It is easy to spoil if left on a ship for a long time. So, substances like alcohol, which can replenish water and can be stored for a long time, became essential items for sailing. Sometimes, they could even become hard currency like food. Therefore, many pirates who spent years at sea were also heavy drinkers.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to buy much fresh water."

Meikyō looked at a man hiding under the eaves by the roadside, holding a water bag just like Sabo had done earlier, and looking dejected after discovering that it was empty.

Through his keen senses, he had already overheard the townspeople discussing the king's use of Dancing Powder, which had caused a drought throughout the country except for the capital.

Crocodile has begun his plan to seize power and take control of Pluton.

"Lord Crocodile has arrived!"

Someone shouted this, and the people on the street immediately surged toward a certain place.

"Great! Lord Crocodile has arrived!"

"Has Crocodile brought fresh water from somewhere else again?"

"You've repelled the pirates who were harassing Alabasta and brought us precious fresh water! I think Lord Crocodile is more suitable to be king than Cobra!"

"Crocodile? One of the Shichibukai? I remember he was a great pirate, I didn't expect him to be so respected among the people."

Kuina looked around curiously at everything that was happening before her eyes.

Meikyō rested her chin on her hand, silently observing everything that was happening before her eyes.

Crocodile a 50/50 Pirate World of One Piece. He can withstand attacks from Admiral Akainu, but he can also be defeated by Gear Second Luffy.

The latter is when the protagonist is killed by the plot in a way that is unreasonable. Before that, Crocodile had defeated Luffy twice. Even though Luffy discovered that he could use water to attack Crocodile's body, it was still the same. However, as the user of the Sun God Nika Fruit, Luffy has the ability to lock his health. This is also a typical example of Luffy's victory over the strong against the weak on the Grand Line.

Crocodile's strength is definitely not weak. Meikyō is now wondering if he can be the second test he gives to Kuina, Sabo, and Koala.

Coincidentally, Koala had a similar idea.

"Captain, if we defeat the Shichibukai, could we take their place, and then..."

Koala's eyes flickered as she whispered in Meikyō's ear.

She had heard Dragon say that Tsugikuni Yoriichi was so strong that, apart from the Four Emperors and Admiral, almost no one on this sea could rival him. Apart from Hawk Eyes, who was known as the World's Greatest Swordsman, taking down the other Shichibukai should not be a problem.

"Oh? Your thoughts coincide with mine, but it's not me who will deal with Crocodile, it's you."

Meikyō pointed at Koala.

"Huh? We're going to deal with a Shichibukai?"

Koala pointed to himself, looking completely bewildered.

"Huh? Are we going to deal with Crocodile? But he seems like a pretty good pirate! He even helps civilians?"

Sabo raised his hand to shield his forehead from the blazing sun, watching as people lined up in the distance to buy fresh water and other resources from Crocodile's men.

Not far away, Crocodile himself stood before the crowd with a cigar in his mouth and a very calm and reliable expression.

That means everyone's gone over there; otherwise, if someone had heard Sabo's words, who knows what might have happened.

Crocodile seems to still hold some prestige among the people of Alabasta.

"The Shichibukai, huh..."

Kuina rubbed the hilt of her sword, her eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.

"You can't judge a person by appearances alone. This guy is my second test for you. However, with your current abilities, you're still a bit short of dealing with a Logia Devil Fruit user. So before that, I plan to give you some special training."

Those who cannot skillfully use Armament Haki to attack will be at a great disadvantage when facing Logia Devil Fruit users.

Meikyō is already preparing to stay in Alabasta for a period of time.

With the strength of Kuina, Sabo, and others, they might be doing alright in Paradise, the first half of the Grand Line, and might even earn a title similar to Supernovas, but that would be far from enough in the New World.

The top combat power in the entire Pirate World is mostly gathered there.

Fortunately, even Koala, who is relatively the weakest of the three, has now reached the level of physical and mental strength required to learn Haki, not to mention Kuina and Sabo.

Kuina has consistently outclassed Zoro for so many years, which naturally means she is a top-tier talent on the high seas. After Sabo obtains the Mera Mera no Mi in the future, he will be able to hold his own against Admiral Fujitora, and before eating the fruit, he will completely overwhelm Burgess.

It's hard to say whether he's at the level of Admiral Four Emperors, but in the original timeline, Sabo's strength would at least be stronger than that of a typical Sweet Commander. He would at least be at the level of a Yonko's second-in-command. As Luffy's sworn brother and the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army in the original timeline, his growth ceiling couldn't possibly be less than that of an Admiral or Yonko.

However, they are still just a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old young people and need time to mature.

The Naruto World.

With the support of Konoha's high-ranking officials, the Konoha Military Police Force began a vigorous reform.

Of course, there were dissenting voices within the Uchiha Clan. After all, the Konoha Military Police Force had been a place where the Uchiha Clan kept to themselves for decades, and now that some of their senior positions were being offered up, it was natural for some people to be dissatisfied.

However, these arguments were suppressed by Meikyō and Fugaku at the clan meeting under the pretext of "for the greater good of the Uchiha."

As two of the three Mangekyō Sharingan users in the Uchiha Clan, no one in the Uchiha Clan could oppose them when they joined forces.

As for the newly Mangekyō Sharingan, it Uchiha Obito, who was hailed by his clan as the first Sharingan genius after Meikyō...

How could he possibly object to something that even the Fugaku clan chief, along with his most trusted Teacher Meikyō and Minato-sensei?

Hizashi Hyuga is now serving as the vice minister of the Konoha Military Police Force. His main responsibility is to assist the Konoha Military Police Force minister Uchiha Fugaku, in handling government affairs. Like the other honorary vice minister, Meikyō, he is responsible for managing the two Konoha Military Police Force squads under his command.

Of course, that was only in name. Although they did have command authority in some matters, if Hizashi Hyuga's orders contradicted those of Meikyō or Fugaku, then these two squads composed of Uchiha clan members would certainly not obey Hizashi.

The reform of the Konoha Military Police Force is certainly not limited to Hizashi Hyuga alone.

In the following period, with the coordination of all parties, the Konoha Military Police Force successively established the 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th Divisions.

Although the Konoha Military Police Force has more than just these squads, it also has subordinate agencies such as the Konoha Military Police Force Logistics Department and Finance Department that connect with the internal Logistics Department and handle some internal matters. However, the addition of four squads at once is almost equivalent to increasing the size of the Konoha Military Police Force by one-third.

The increased personnel are mostly combat-oriented, which greatly enhances the strength of the Konoha Military Police Force.

This is a situation that the Third Hokage has always been unwilling to see.

No matter how the Konoha Military Police Force changes, it has been deeply imprinted by the past few decades. It won't be too easy for the Uchiha Clan to take control of the Konoha Military Police Force.

The increased strength of the Konoha Military Police Force is equivalent to an increase in the strength of the Uchiha.

The Inuzuka Clan and Aburame Clan Ninja Clan, which are currently closely associated with the Fourth Hokage, were the first to respond, sending some of their members to apply for positions in the four squads.

Inuzuka Tsume, who was Meikyō's classmate at the Ninja Academy, became Special Jonin at the age of sixteen at the beginning of the Third Shinobi World War. A year before the end of the Third Shinobi World War, he became Konoha Jonin at the age of twenty-one. Now he has joined the Konoha Military Police Force as a squad leader.

This wasn't particularly outstanding among Meikyō's contemporaries, but he was still considered a relatively excellent member.

Aside from the Meikyō, Uchiha Myokyō, the most outstanding ninjas of the same generation were Dan Katō's other two disciples, Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Nami. Both were from the Ninja Clan and had no shortage of Ninjutsu lineage. With Tsunade and Dan Katō as teachers and Uchiha Meikyō as a teammate, their backgrounds were quite strong. After showing enough potential, the clans naturally concentrated their resources on them for training.

Among those who became Jonin, besides these people, there were also Kazemaki Kibata Hyuga Tetsu. More than ten years after graduation, only six people in total became Jonin. Perhaps there were more later, but in fact, not many of these people are still alive. And after the age of twenty-three or twenty-four, they have basically reached the peak that a ninja can achieve.

It is worth mentioning that Kazemaki Kibata Tetsumon have also been brought into the Konoha Military Police Force by Hyuga Tetsu Meikyō his connections, serving as squad leaders of the newly formed squad.

Just like the Anbu, squad leaders in combat units like the Konoha Military Police Force cannot be appointed without the strength of Jonin.

Besides them, the remaining squad leader is Aburame Takumi of the Aburame Clan —he is slightly older than Meikyō, and is the brother of Hizashi Hyuga and Hyuga Hiashi, but he is only twenty-nine years old.

Even if the Konoha Military Police Force is to be reformed, Meikyō will prioritize bringing in its own people.

While the Konoha Military Police Force was undergoing reforms, other members of the Uchiha Clan were also moving into other departments outside the Konoha Military Police Force.

Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin joined the Shadow Guard together.

Besides them, the Shadow Guard also Namiashi Raidō two young ninjas, Tatami Iwashi, who had been discovered by Dan Katō.

This is one of the more outstanding members of the new generation of ninjas, besides the Team Meikyō and Team Minato. He has good talent and potential to be cultivated.

Moreover, and very importantly, both of them came from humble backgrounds and didn't have many hidden agendas. With a few years of training, they could become Dan Katō's trusted confidants.

As for Kakashi, it was because Obito awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and his former underdog strength suddenly surpassed Kakashi's. As a result, Minato Namikaze recommended him to Dan Katō to join the Anbu.

Shiranui Genma and Ebisu joined him in the Anbu.

In peacetime, places like the Anbu are the best for training people.

Moreover, as disciples of Meikyō, they are considered to be the direct descendants of Dan Katō's faction, and will be an important link for Dan Katō to strengthen his control over the Anbu in the future.

Because Kakashi and his teammates all joined the Anbu, Might Guy actually wanted to Anbu as well, but the problem was that no Anbu squad leader was willing to take him. He was simply not suited for the Anbu, so he was currently serving as a mission ninja while diligently preparing to be promoted to Jonin.

He is fully qualified in terms of ability, but Might Guy still has a long way to go in terms of theoretical knowledge.

Besides them, Meikyō also plans to send one more person into the Anbu.

"Shisui? He's Special Jonin in the village now, so he's definitely qualified to join the Anbu."

Dan Katō sat at his desk, signing documents as he casually answered Meikyō.

Anbu Ninja often undertake dangerous missions, and those who are not strong enough will definitely not be able to enter; at least they must be elite Chunin to get in.

"Ah, yes, Shisui is very talented. Like me, he received the most formal and elite Uchiha education from Grandpa Yu since childhood. If he is properly planned, he can become a pillar of the next generation of the village, just like Kakashi and Obito."

Meikyō handed Dan Katō a document compiling important recent intelligence about the Ninja World, which had been gathered by the Intelligence Analysis Unit.

"Oh? You think highly of Shisui?"

Dan Katō took the document and asked casually.

Obito awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and it was a certainty that his strength reached the Kage Level.

He is still young and his overall ninja skills are lacking. Even with the powerful Mangekyō Sharingan, he cannot unleash its Mangekyō Sharingan potential.

Putting aside other things, with his current Chakra reserves, he is not capable of using the Mangekyō Sharingan in battle for an extended period. His combat experience is also easily exploited when fighting against skilled opponents. To give a concrete analogy, one can refer to Kaguya, whose basic chakra reserves would be considered very strong even among Six Paths level practitioners, but she was unable to utilize them effectively.
