However, the person who heard the Nara Clan's words burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, calling the Guard Force? I've already said, this whole city is my territory! The Guard Force Guard Force my men too. Even if they come, they'll be arresting you, not me!"
Do you really think you're so great just because you have a lot of people? Do you think you can outnumber the Guard Force? Are you as powerful as the Guard Force? Even if you could take care of the city's Guard Force, how would you deal with the entire nation's army?
And it's not just the Guard Force; all the officials and everyone in this city are our people. Once they enter this city, it's no longer up to you to call the shots."
The Uchiha and Nara Clan clansmen exchanged glances; though they didn't speak, they had already communicated.
Nara clansman: We've already gotten the information out of them, there's nothing more to say, right?
Uchiha Clan: Holy crap, you got that information out of me so easily! Your brain works like a rocket!
The Uchiha clansman shook his head, slowly walked up, and patted the man on the shoulder.
The man immediately twisted his body away. "Don't touch me! If you want to touch me now, you'll have to pay another 50,000 or 100,000 taels. If you don't have 100,000... 200,000 taels, none of you will leave here!"
The Nara Clan member chuckled, "We weren't planning on leaving either. So the Guard Force here is all your people, right? Then the Uchiha Clan leader isn't one of yours, is he?"
If he finds out about this, do you think he'll side with us or with you?
However, the man remained completely unfazed. "Heh, we have more people, and we're the locals. With his brains, do you think he'll trust us or you bunch of criminals?"
Upon hearing this, the Uchiha clansman could no longer contain himself. He immediately delivered a high kick, knocking the man to the ground, and then stomped on his head with his foot.
Then, the Uchiha clansman leaned down and said, "You're really arrogant! I can forgive you for saying other things, but you actually dared to say that we Uchiha are stupid!"
The person standing on the ground was about to say something, but when they heard the last sentence, they were so frightened they almost jumped out of their skin.
What do you mean by "you Uchiha"? He strained to look out of the corner of his eye, stepping on the eyes of his Uchiha clansman, and saw a scarlet Sharingan with two Tomoe slowly rotating inside.
Uchiha crap, it really is an Uchiha! The person pinned to the ground rolled their eyes back and fainted on the spot.
The Uchiha clansmen, seeing this, exclaimed, "Oh no! How could you faint?" They grabbed him, lifted him up, and slapped him twice across the face. "Still pretending to be unconscious? Wake up! Wake up!"
Under the violent wake-up call of the Uchiha clansmen, the person finally woke up slowly, but upon seeing the Sharingan of the Uchiha clansmen, he almost fainted again from fright.
The Uchiha clan members didn't bother with words; they simply used Genjutsu to control him, forcing him to reveal everything he knew.
The result surprised everyone present.
Unexpectedly, everyone in this city, from the mayor down to the lowest-ranking employee, has become corrupt and deceitful, specifically targeting the Uchiha clan members sent from the capital.
Due to the scarcity of the Nara Clan, there were no Nara Clan members in the city. The dim-witted Uchiha Clan were fooled into being deceived for over a year.
After hearing these words, the Nara Clan members present all looked at the Uchiha Clan member, their upturned lips barely concealed no matter how hard they tried to suppress them.
The Uchiha Clan member felt his face burning; he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and raised his fist.
What a disgrace! Absolutely shameful! Over a year passed without a trace, and I was completely fooled. I've lost all face!
The Uchiha clansman grew increasingly angry, until finally, he waved his hand and stormed off towards the Konoha Military Police Force.
At the entrance of the Guard Force, two ordinary Guard Force swallowed hard as they looked at the furious Uchiha clansmen before them.
"Um... this... well, the lord is busy right now, you can't go in!" Before the ordinary member of the Guard Force could finish speaking, the Uchiha clansman had already pressed a knife against his neck.
"You dare to lie to me? You think we Uchiha are stupid?"
The Guard Force at the gate were so frightened they backed away. Ana had seen this kind of thing before; ever since she joined the Guard Force, her job had been either patrolling the streets with a baton or beating people with a regular stick.
If he were really put in a fight with someone holding a knife, he wouldn't dare utter a single word.
"How could the Land of Light have parasites and scum like you? Do you know how our Uchiha Clan cleans out parasites and scum? You're all rotten to the core!"
Faced with the pressure of the Uchiha clansman's Futatsudomoe, the ordinary member of the Guard Force immediately knelt on the ground with a thud. "Don't kill me, I didn't mean to!"
"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I really didn't mean to, and I wasn't trying to lie to the adults. It's just that if I didn't do this, I'd die a horrible death; they'd remove me from my position!"
The Uchiha clansman remained silent, his face cold. Nara Clan beside him cautiously tugged at his sleeve, saying, "It's the truth. The local powers have immense control over the area. If we don't do what they say, the locals simply can't survive."
The Uchiha clansman turned to look at the Nara Clan and sneered, "This kind of power shouldn't exist in this area. How can they completely control the lives and deaths of the locals? They should be killed!"
"The clan leader is right. Are we going to compromise with these people just because of external pressure? That's cowardly! How could our Uchiha Clan be cowards?"
As the Uchiha clansman spoke, he sheathed his sword and demanded, "You come here and tell me, which members of the Guard Force are their men? I'll go and chop them all up right now!"
Seeing the hot-tempered Uchiha clansman, the ordinary member of the Guard Force immediately started rattling off everyone involved, even their pet rat.
The captain's office of the Guard Force is also the only office of an Uchiha member located here.
Just as the Uchiha leader was lying on the table, about to die, the Uchiha clansmen and their followers stormed into the Guard Force captain's office.
With a powerful "thud," the door was kicked open, shattering it. The Uchiha manager inside was stunned for a moment, then stared silently at the foot before awkwardly withdrawing it and pushing the door open.
