Chapter 124 - Attack The Hokage Building

'However, halfway through the meal in the cafeteria, the chef brought everyone a bowl of steaming fish soup and explained that there was a problem with today's menu, so everyone's daily intake of high-quality protein was not enough, so a new dish was temporarily added.'

'Leader Enyu joked with the chef, who was specially brought in from the capital of the Land of Fire, telling him to cut down on the main dishes since the lobster alone could fill us up.'

'The chef just laughed and told him to keep his subordinates from messing with Police Dogs food rations, adding that the new Police Dogs Captain was actually quite articulate.'

'I stared at the four dishes and soup in front of me, feeling a bit dazed.'

'Food like this was something I could only afford to treat myself to during festivals, considering I still had to save money for new jutsu.'

'Speaking of Jutsu, it's almost unbelievable. On my first day at the Konoha Military Police Force, I received a C-rank jutsu. Since my Chakra nature is fire, they gave me the Uchiha Clan's traditional Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu.'

'Although this ninjutsu is difficult to practice, the team leaders in the Konoha Military Police Force who have also learned this ninjutsu will patiently teach us how to practice after getting off work. They also said that the team leaders from the Uchiha Clan sometimes come to serve as instructors. Although they are a bit unpleasant to listen to, they are still very attentive when teaching them.'

'After lunch, when I was about to go to work, I suddenly learned that the Hokage was coming to inspect the Konoha Military Police Force .'

'After hearing the news, my colleagues started to get busy.'

'The Fifth Hokage who took office today and visited the Konoha Military Police Force. Although the Fifth Hokage had already stepped down as the captain of the Konoha Military Police Force when I came, I was still very curious about this former captain of the Konoha Military Police Force.'

'When the seniors in the Konoha Military Police Force mentioned Captain Kuragami, their eyes would involuntarily reveal a look of admiration from the bottom of their hearts. What kind of magic does this former captain from the Uchiha Clan have?'

'Because of my tall figure and handsome appearance, I was fortunate to be selected and became a member of the team to welcome the Fifth Hokage.'

'At the entrance of the Konoha Military Police Force, I caught my first glimpse of him, the man wearing the Hokage hat and Hokage Robe embroidered with the words Fifth Hokage.'

'The fifth Hokage was not quite what I had imagined. He didn't exude an overwhelming aura of authority; instead, he seemed warm and approachable, with a constant gentle smile on his face.'

'Salute to the Hokage! While I was still in a daze, the voice of the squadron leader rang in my ears.'

'Loyalty and Honesty!'

'I saluted together with my colleagues.'

'The Hokage returned our salute with a smile and approached us.'

'You've all worked hard. Is your work going well?'

'Hokage-sama smiled and held the hand of my colleague beside me and asked with a smile.'

'Then, Hokage-sama came in front of me and stretched out his hand to twist my collar.'

'Is this outfit warm enough for winter duty?'

'Hokage-sama had a warm smile on his face. It was hard to imagine that someone in such a high position would actually care about whether my clothes, the lowest-level member of the Konoha Military Police Force, would be cold in winter.'

'In that moment, I finally understood why the senior members of the force spoke so highly of this man.'

'Because of the excitement, I forgot to answer the question for the first time; how rude of me.'

'After I came to my senses, Hokage-sama had already explained to the senior leaders.'

'He instructed them to ensure that the winter uniforms were of high quality, warm enough for even ordinary civilians without chakra to endure the cold. He also insisted that those patrolling in harsh weather must receive additional allowances.'

'At that moment, I finally understood why the senior leaders would always say they could never repay Captain Kuragami's kindness.'

'After completing his inspection, the Hokage left the Konoha Military Police Force. As he departed, my colleagues and I all saluted him loudly, pledging our loyalty.'

Kitano Masahiro finished writing his diary, closed the diary, and fell asleep after a simple wash.

However, the next day, when Kitano Masahiro arrived at the Konoha Military Police Force, he saw his colleagues gathered together, their faces filled with anger.

"What? Those guys actually dared to attack the Hokage building?"

"Damn it, it seems that I was too gentle with them at ordinary times. Now they dared to attack the Hokage building! And they even carried slogans that were disrespectful to the Fifth Hokage?"

"We have to take action! Otherwise, how will our colleagues in the Anbu and the Jonin squad view our Konoha Military Police Force!"

Kitano Masahiro didn't understand what happened, but at this time, Kakashi had already walked in with several team leaders with a gloomy face and said: "Everyone, gather in the conference room!"

… … ...

Last time, those villagers who planned to cause trouble at the Hokage inauguration ceremony were thwarted by the Konoha Military Police Force before they could act. 

They returned home, grumbling in frustration.

But that very night, a group of ninja infiltrated their homes and took them to the territory of the Utatane clan.

There, they met many villagers who had the same idea as them and were extremely dissatisfied with Kuragami Uchiha and the Konoha Military Police Force.

Soon, the current head of the Utatane Clan, Yuta Utatane, and the current head of the Mitokado clan, Isao Mitokado, arrived at the secret location.

"Everyone, I believe many of you are dissatisfied with Kuragami Uchiha, the former Konoha Military Police Force captain who has now become the Fifth Hokage. Think about it, do you really think you'll have better days ahead under his rule?"

Yuta Utatane came to the crowd and said.

"Also, let me tell you one more thing." 

Yuta Utatane said: "The martial law that night was actually a coup led by Kuragami Uchiha and the Konoha Military Police Force! The Third Hokage-sama was under house arrest when he decided to let Kuragami ascend to the position of Hokage!"

"What? The Konoha Military Police Force dared to put our beloved Third Hokage-sama under house arrest and seize power through a coup?"

A villager in the audience said angrily.

When the Third Hokage was in office, he followed the policies of the Second Hokage. So, he often turned a blind eye to the petty schemes of the common villagers, who liked to skirt the edges of the law to make money. He left most of the enforcement to the Konoha Military Police Force and would even step in occasionally if their punishments were too harsh. 

Naturally, these unruly villagers saw him as a beloved leader.
