Chapter 53 Arresting People (2)
After concluding that the rumors were likely spread by the Uchiha and Mito clans, the civilian ninjas in the Security Department were still quite panicked. After all, this was one of the largest ninja clans in the village besides the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, and these civilian ninjas were unsure of what to do when it came to them.
However, the Uchiha captains quickly reassured these civilian buddies.
"What kind of coward are you? Don't forget, when you wear this uniform, you represent the Security Department! Behind you stands the Uchiha clan!" Before leading his men to the two clans' territories to arrest people, Uchiha Touhuan finished his speech and was the first to grab a baton and walk out.
The civilian ninjas behind him were moved to tears. The Uchiha's older brother was truly great; he really stood up for them when needed.
So, they also grabbed their batons and followed.
After arriving at the location of the two clans' properties, the security forces didn't say much, immediately sealing off the entire street and calling out names one by one based on the confessions they had obtained.
"What are you doing? This is the property of the Utatane family!" A member of the Utatane family, who was in charge of managing the family's property, couldn't sit still when he saw the family's property being sealed off and a large number of his subordinates being arrested.
However, the moment he jumped out, he was spotted by Uchiha Inahime: "What's your name?"
Just then, a merchant who had been identified by more than 20 people as a major suspect in this rumor incident, and who had already been hit twice by police batons for violently resisting arrest, cried and dodged the batons while pointing at Utatane Akira and shouting: "Sir, stop hitting him! Stop hitting him! He's the one who told us to do this!" Upon
hearing this, Uchiha Inahime gripped the baton tightly and said angrily: "Fine, I was just looking for you. I didn't expect you to dare to jump out!"
After saying that, Uchiha Inahime instantly stepped forward and knocked Utatane Akira to the ground with a single blow. Utatane Akira's strength was mediocre to begin with; otherwise, he wouldn't have been assigned by the clan to manage the clan's assets. Compared to Uchiha Inahime, who already possessed Jonin strength but was only a Chunin due to the clan's rule that one couldn't be promoted to Jonin without having three tomoe, he was completely vulnerable. After two blows, his eyes cleared considerably.
"Damn it, the Security Department has already issued a law, and they still don't know how to restrain themselves. Do they really think our Security Department is made of clay?" Uchiha Inahime said while continuing to strike.
"Captain, be careful, enforce the law with a smile, enforce the law with a smile." At this moment, a civilian ninja behind Uchiha Inahime couldn't help but remind him.
"That's true." Upon hearing this, Uchiha Inahime forced a smile, his Sharingan eyes flashing. Enforcing the law with a smile was a policy promoted by their respected clan leader, but this didn't stop him from striking Utatane Akira with the next blow.
The situation was similar for the Mitokado clan's businesses, except that the Mitokado clan's business leaders were a bit smarter than Utatane Akira, not blatantly showing themselves. This required Uchiha Zaito, who was in charge, to put in a lot more effort. Fortunately, the police dog Retsumaru (number 00004) from the security department stepped in, jumping out and biting Mitokado Masahiro's buttocks when he tried to slip through the crowd.
After arresting most of the people, Uchiha Touhuan imprisoned them all in the security department's jail and ordered them to be interrogated rigorously to uncover the foreign forces behind them.
Meanwhile, the two advisors were still drinking in the clan's tea room.
"After this offensive, Kakashi should have realized his mistake by now," Utatane Koharu said, finishing the tea served by a maid and smiling at Mitokado Homura.
"If he knows what's good for him, he should stay away from Jinchūriki," Mitokado Homura replied with a smug smile.
"That inherently evil Uchiha brat actually dared to interfere in this matter, and what use is that law he issued?" Koharu Utatane's face showed disdain when she mentioned the Uchiha clan. "In the village, only laws that Hiruzen and we agree to are laws!" Mitokado Homura agreed. "However, after this incident, it's not hard to see that Kakashi is completely untrustworthy."
"Kakashi has already mixed up with that inherently evil Uchiha brat. Isn't that already very obvious?" Utatane Koharu sneered.
"However, we still need to be careful. In a few days, we should also control the public opinion a bit. If Kakashi commits suicide like his useless father, we won't be able to explain it to Hiruzen." "
Hmph, Hiruzen is getting older and more hesitant. He didn't even dare to pursue the matter when Danzo died at the hands of that inherently evil Uchiha brat. As the Second Hokage's disciples, we must keep a close eye on him and always be wary of the inherently evil Uchiha clan," Utatane Koharu said.
Just then, the door to the tea room was pushed open, and a Utatane ninja rushed in in a panic.
"Something terrible has happened! Advisors!"
"What's with all this panicking?" Koharu Utatane's face darkened; her ninja's recklessness was a disgrace to her.
"The Security Department... the Security Department has sealed off the clan's commercial district and arrested no fewer than 400 people, many of whom are peripheral members of the clan."
"What?!" The two advisors were immediately alarmed. Koharu Utatane slammed her hand on the table in anger. "How dare the Security Department do this!"
"The Uchiha clan is indeed evil." Homura Mitokado's expression was also extremely grim. "They even dare to attack civilians."
"What should we do?" Koharu Utatane asked.
Mitokado Homura thought for a moment before speaking, "Gather all the commoners who rely on our two clans' industries for a living. Find a few unaffiliated ninjas from the clans and lead them to protest in front of the police station, forcing them to release the prisoners. I don't believe the police station would dare to act recklessly in front of everyone! As for the two of us, go directly to Hiruzen. This time, we must make the Uchiha clan pay the price!"
At this moment, the police station's prison was brightly lit. Because so many people had been arrested at once, even the police station's interrogation room couldn't hold them all, so a temporary area had to be set up in the prison. The most basic patrol duties in the village were being carried out by all the police station members working overtime to interrogate the people who had been arrested this time.
In the temporary office of the prison, Uchiha Touhuan, Uchiha Fugaku, along with four veteran Jonin of the Uchiha clan, and the newly joined captains Aburame Shikai, Inuzuka Fu, and others, were reviewing the interrogation results submitted by their subordinates.
"Seriously, with so many people, how long will this take?" Inuzuka Fu couldn't help but complain, looking at the mountain of interrogation records piled up in front of him.
"Brother Fu, we might not even get anything useful out of this," Uchiha Shisui said.
"Honestly, the Third Hokage said he'd allocate two Anbu interrogation ninjas to our Security Department, but they still haven't arrived. Our interrogation methods are still too unprofessional. I definitely have to mention this to the Third Hokage in a few days," Uchiha Touhuan said.
