Uchiha Chiba listened to the notification in his mind without the slightest change in expression. He merely gave a cold nod.
After transmigrating into the Uchiha clan, he had gone years without any so-called golden finger.
Yet through relentless, life-risking training, Uchiha Chiba awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, became a jonin, entered Konoha's Police Force, and was eventually promoted to division captain.
Even so, he understood better than anyone—
A Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
A mere jonin.
In front of truly overwhelming power, they were insignificant.
He remembered clearly that three elite Uchiha jonin—Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Tekka, and Uchiha Inabi—were considered outstanding within the clan.
Yet when facing Uchiha Itachi, who possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, they were eliminated instantly.
That was the gap in strength.
A gulf impossible to bridge.
Without outside help, it would be nearly impossible for Uchiha Chiba to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Because—
He felt no attachment to this world.
No parents.
No wife.
No children.
Clan members, friends, comrades… at best, they were familiar strangers connected by circumstance.
Even if they all died, his emotions would barely ripple.
Without love, how could there be the pain of losing it?
A man as cold as he was had no trigger to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Until—
Not long ago, his golden finger finally activated.
The "Good Deeds Accumulation System."
As the name suggested, completing acts of goodness granted merit points, which could enhance every aspect of his strength.
For Chiba, it was the most fitting system imaginable.
After all, he served in the Police Force, tasked with maintaining order throughout Konoha.
In his previous life, he had also worked in law enforcement. However—
In a lawful society, extreme methods were not permitted.
Because of that, there were many times when he knew criminals were guilty, yet various limitations prevented true justice from being carried out.
Even his death had been closely tied to that reality.
Now, having transmigrated into Uchiha Chiba, he knew this shinobi world was darker—
And that realization filled him with fierce satisfaction.
Because here—
He could enforce justice openly.
Thus was born an Uchiha whose sense of righteousness bordered on frightening.
Even Uchiha Fugaku found him troublesome and difficult to handle.
Although Chiba acted in the name of maintaining order, his methods were undeniably extreme.
But he never cared.
Whenever Clan Head Uchiha Fugaku—also the Chief of the Police Force—expressed dissatisfaction with his conduct, Chiba would silence him with a single sentence.
"Everything I do is for justice."
And Fugaku would have no reply.
At this moment, Uchiha Chiba still believed firmly in that conviction—and continued to carry it out without hesitation.
…
"Ahhh!"
Seeing the severed head roll across the ground, a piercing scream rang out.
"Y-you monster! What have you done?!"
"Even if my husband was worse than an animal, he was still my husband!"
"You devil… you killed him just like that…"
"How am I supposed to live now?!"
"I'll fight you!"
The one who lunged at Chiba in desperate fury was Haruko—the same woman who had just been beaten by her gambler husband.
For a moment, not only the stunned onlookers but even the two Police Force members beside Chiba were left speechless.
A man like that—and she still defended him?
The captain often said: "Those worthy of pity often carry something detestable as well."
It seemed he was right.
Haruko rushed at Uchiha Chiba like someone possessed.
A pair of scissors flashed in her hand as she stabbed toward him with reckless force.
Slash.
The sound of steel cutting through flesh sent a chill through the crowd.
In the next instant—
Haruko collapsed to the ground.
A wound had opened in her back, blood flowing rapidly and staining her clothes and the soil beneath her.
"C-Captain!"
"What… what have you done?!"
The two subordinates clutched their heads in disbelief.
Killing the gambler might be understandable.
But now—
He had killed Haruko as well?
This was going too far!
Even the Clan Head would not easily accept this!
The surrounding villagers stood frozen, drawing sharp breaths in shock.
Uchiha Chiba spoke calmly.
"She attacked first. I merely defended myself."
"You two. Take their bodies to the Police Force headquarters. Report everything truthfully to the Clan Head."
The two men were pale.
Yes, she had attacked first.
But who would believe that an ordinary Konoha villager—already distraught and weakened—could truly threaten a jonin of the Uchiha clan?
Who would accept such a report?
Chiba did not care.
With the matter resolved, he turned and strode away beneath the terrified gazes of the crowd.
Ding!
[You have successfully helped Haruko's family reunite in the Pure Land. Good deed. Merit points +10!]
Uchiha Chiba: "…"
Even with his heart of stone—righteous to a frightening degree—he found himself briefly speechless at the system.
He did not care about others' opinions.
But—
Was it really necessary to phrase it like that?
Shaking his head, he continued alone into the ink-dark night, resuming his patrol of Konoha.
…

…
Without hesitation, he added all twenty newly gained merit points to his Sharingan.
Three-Tomoe Sharingan (333/1000).
Immediately, he felt his ocular power strengthen once more.
Ocular power—
That was the foundation of everything.
Even among Three-Tomoe Sharingan, there were clear differences in strength.
Though still young, his ocular power had long surpassed that of ordinary jonin.
As he continued patrolling through Konoha's darkened streets, he suddenly sensed two chakra signatures rapidly approaching.
They were his two squad subordinates.
"Captain Chiba! The Clan Head is furious!"
"He's ordered you to return to Police Force headquarters immediately!"
Both men were pale. It was rare to see the Clan Head this enraged.
Uchiha Fugaku was not an uncompromising hardliner. His eventual decision to stage a rebellion had been born more from pressure than ambition.
Though outwardly stern and brooding, inwardly he was somewhat hesitant.
Yet now—
He had erupted in genuine anger.
No wonder the two subordinates were so shaken.
Chiba, of course, knew why.
But his expression remained calm.
Without a word, he leapt toward the Police Force headquarters.
