A piercing scream rang out.
Some sharp-eyed villagers spotted the approaching security force. The security personnel were wearing security uniforms, carrying special iron bars, and also had specially made shields.
It was a dark, dense mass; it looked terrifying.
Upon seeing the arrival of the police, the group of troublemakers immediately started a riot.
After all, the Uchiha police force is notorious for its brutality, and there are many conflicts and contradictions that occur frequently. Many of the troublemakers who gather here have been subjected to law enforcement by the police force.
Therefore, seeing so many members of the security team arrive, they were naturally frightened and retreated repeatedly. The psychological shadow was still there. But the problem is that some people don't want to see the villagers so timid. What are you afraid of?
There are many of you. Do you really think they would dare to make a move?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Among this group of troublemakers were quite a few ninjas, all of whom were members of ninja clans involved in plotting against the Fourth Hokage. They were all people arranged by these ninja clans.
Upon seeing the security forces arrive, these people certainly couldn't allow the security forces to disrupt their operation. Several immediately stepped forward to block their way, shouting, "What are you doing? Don't worry, they won't dare to lay a hand on us…18…"
Unfortunately, the person standing at the very front hadn't even finished speaking when a member of the security team struck him on the head with a stick.
Before the civilian, disguised as a ninja, could react, he was knocked unconscious by the man's blow.
But after he passed out, the guard did not stop. Instead, he struck him several more times with a stick until he was sure he could no longer stand up.
Of course, he stopped because of the unconscious civilian he was pretending to be; there were still so many troublemakers at the scene, and he couldn't let any of them go. He continued.
"You really dare to make a move?"
Upon seeing this, some people immediately cried out in surprise, never expecting that they would actually dare to take action, and that they would be extremely ruthless, showing no mercy whatsoever.
What's wrong with taking action?
Now that we're here, we're here to get to work.
The members of these security teams are not just from the Uchiha clan. Apart from a few elites, most of them are newly recruited members after the reform of the security department.
Among them were some ninjas from various ninja clans, but most were ninjas from commoner backgrounds.
After all, which civilian ninja wouldn't want to work in the security department?
Many people eagerly signed up, and even more ended up participating in the crackdown.
Of the first batch of 500 people, at least 300 were civilian ninjas, the remaining 100 or so were ninjas from various ninja clans, and only the last few dozen were ninjas from the Uchiha clan.
Most of them are genin, while there are only seven or eight chunin, who are mainly responsible for handling emergencies.
Even if some ninjas are hiding among these troublemakers, they are not a significant threat. Chunin are sufficient to handle them. Moreover, the Chunin of the Uchiha clan are not simple; the Sharingan is a major asset.
Furthermore, the second batch of security team members is about to arrive, and with Uchiha Mina personally supervising, she will definitely intervene should any unexpected situation arise.
Because there were many civilian ninjas, it was inevitable that some of them would recognize each other. When these troublemakers saw some familiar faces, they couldn't help but shout, "You're the Yamada family's kid next door, right? How dare you lay a hand on me?"
So what if you take action?
The ninja named Yamada struck the shouting uncle with a single blow, leaving him dizzy and disoriented. And that wasn't the limit; he swung his staff several more times, leaving only afterimages.
The reason he can strike six times per second is because of Yamada's abilities. If his abilities were not limited to this, he could strike seven, eight, or even ten times.
"You bastard, how dare you be so disrespectful to Lord Bai Mu and even want to disband the garrison? What right do you have to talk about disbanding the garrison?"
"The Fourth Hokage worked diligently, and you bunch of guys dare to slander him?"
When Yamada saw that his neighbor's uncle dared to get involved in this matter and was carrying various slogans, especially those that said things like "punish Uchiha Hakubaku," he was immediately enraged.
Enraged, Yamada unleashed a barrage of attacks, repeatedly wielding his specially made stick and knocking down several people in an instant.
There are quite a few people like Yamada in the Security Department.
He was originally a commoner ninja, so he would most likely have an ordinary and unremarkable life, remaining a genin for life. That would be a good thing, because remaining a genin for life means having a long life ahead of him. If he couldn't even remain a genin for life, it would mean he was killed.
As for how he died?
They might have died on a mission, or they might have died on the battlefield; in any case, they died.
But it's different once you join the security department. You get a stable job, a stable salary, and bonuses for good performance. If you make a contribution, you can even get ninjutsu as a reward. What great benefits that is!
And you, you bunch of unruly commoners, how dare you criticize our beloved and respected Commander-in-Chief of the Security Department, Lord Uchiha Hakubaki! Then you cannot be allowed to live.
We must fight, and we must fight hard.
Dealing with troublemakers requires physical force. Even if we lack experience now, is hitting people difficult? We'll learn how to hit them after a few swings.
“These are no longer villagers of Konoha, but civilians disguised as spies from enemy villages. We need not be lenient with them.”
The captain of the third squad directly under the Second Battalion of the Security Department, Hideaki Tatsuno, explained the situation immediately. His background as a commoner ninja, yet his appointment as squad leader, speaks volumes about his loyalty and ability.
Loyal and capable, if we don't need them, then who do we need?
"Don't be soft-hearted. Don't think that just because they're neighbors or people you know, you can go easy on them. They stormed the Hokage Building and slandered the Captain-Commander with 500 people. They're no longer civilians of Konoha. They're spies from an enemy village, thugs, and troublemakers. In short, you all need to go all out."
"Push harder, haven't you eaten yet?"
"Are you all being so slow and hesitant? How can you face Lord Bai Mu?"
"Loyalty, don't forget our loyalty. If you can't do that, get out of the security department!"
Ryūno Hideaki's roar energized the members of the security force, especially the ninjas from commoner backgrounds, who were like they'd been injected with adrenaline and began to intensify their efforts against the spies.
Although there are quite a few of these so-called spies, numbering in the hundreds or thousands, they must be spies, there's no reason why they shouldn't be.
Attacking the Hokage Building and slandering the Captain-Commander are both serious crimes.
We must strike hard.
As the security team entered and a fight broke out, the civilians scattered in panic, but the hidden ninjas were a different story.
These ninjas, from certain ninja clans, are practically suicide soldiers, and now that the situation is so chaotic, they're just adding fuel to the fire.
Before they could even make a move, the few Uchiha ninjas, those with Chunin-level strength, quickly dealt with them.
After someone died, those unruly people were undoubtedly even more terrified; screams, roars, and curses echoed throughout the sky.
Chapter 119 Hiashi: Are you guys crazy?
Because someone died.
The group of troublemakers became frightened and all wanted to escape as soon as possible.
However, this is just wishful thinking. Just a moment ago, he was all arrogant and running around aimlessly. The change is really drastic.
Of course, wanting to escape? That's impossible. There's no way to escape. The security team is well-prepared, especially the third squad, which performed exceptionally well under the leadership of Tatsuno Hideaki.
Among them, Yamada beat up many people in succession, suppressing more than twenty people by himself. The troublemakers under his stick could not even withstand two blows.
One blow from the stick, and he collapsed to the ground.
No one can stop this group of guards.
Soon, the troublemakers outside the building were arrested one after another, but not all of them were sent to prison. After all, there were at least several hundred of them, and it was impossible to lock them all up.
Only the most stubborn elements are locked up, while most troublemakers are simply beaten and educated, and can go home after paying a fine. But what if they don't pay?
Unfortunately, you can only go in.
If you're given a chance and you don't take it, then you can't blame anyone else.
"That's really violent!" Having witnessed the whole thing, Tsunade couldn't help but rub her temples. She was really exhausted. How did things get to this point?
"I think it's alright, merciful enough, not many people died." Esdeath thought it was pretty good, at least not many people died.
Of course, Tsunade couldn't help but retort, "You think this is merciful? Esdeath, are you sure you didn't say something wrong?"
"No!"
Esdeath replied.
She didn't think she had said anything wrong; rather, it was Tsunade's own emotions that had gotten a little agitated.
"You should continue with your own business and not forget what Bai Mu asked you to do." Seeing this, Tsunade was too lazy to argue with her and reminded her to hurry up and do what she needed to do.
"Of course I haven't forgotten, it's just that I don't quite agree with what you said. You are truly kind, but don't mistake that for ruthlessness."
In response, Esdeath stated that she was absolutely right to say she was merciful, because you haven't yet witnessed true ruthlessness.
Tsunade: "...~..."
Alright, alright. I know that in your world, the darkness of the empire is extraordinary, and I will not compare myself to you, so you can rest assured.
Can't refute it.
That is, not to refute.
Upon seeing this, Esdeath immediately left with a smile.
She did have something to do. She needed to personally visit the Hyuga clan. Other ninja clans were not a concern, but the Hyuga clan was a different story.
Esdeath must personally go and resolve the issue, eliminating the opponents directly. If even the clan head is unaware of this, then the main family should be eliminated, leaving only the branch family. After all, the Hyuga clan is enough. The Byakugan is the most important thing; the main family and the branch family are not important.
No matter how pure the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is, it can't compare to the Byakugan of the Otsutsuki clan. Look at Kaguya's Byakugan, and then compare it to the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, right?
Of course, they will definitely stay if possible, but that depends on whether Hyuga Hiashi is sensible or not; otherwise, the Hyuga clan will have to undergo a major reshuffle.
"It's really troublesome."
Tsunade muttered to herself.
That being said, some things are really annoying.
……
Sungai tribe.
In the reception room.
Hiashi Hyuga, his face contorted with rage, glared at the elders opposite him and said in a deep voice, "How dare you do such a thing behind my back? Are you all insane?"
Are they plotting against the Fourth Hokage?
Tsunade dared to stage a coup, even trying to kill her teacher, the Third Hokage. You dare to do something like this? You're insane, completely insane. You're all abnormal.
He genuinely hadn't expected anyone in the clan to dare do such a thing; it was simply overestimating themselves and failing to recognize reality. Hyuga Hiashi could understand the grievances within the clan, after all, an elder had been killed.
To be so brazenly killed in front of so many people, in the conference room of the Hokage Building—even if that elder was at fault, his crime did not warrant death!
Of course, Hiashi Hyuga knew he had to endure it, because any refusal would have had a predictable consequence—just look at the Third Hokage and the rest of the leadership…
