"Clan leader, this is urgent!."

Fugaku was initially resting at home today when Aien hurriedly arrived, immediately expressing with urgency, "Yoichi has detained individuals from the Shimura family, including two operatives from the Root, and they are now being brought in for interrogation by the police force!"

"What?"

Not just Fugaku, but even Mikoto, who had just served tea, froze upon hearing this. Even though she wasn't a ninja, she was aware of the Shimura clan's standing within the village, not to mention the Root's.

Fugaku, with fists clenched, said, "What is Yoichi trying to accomplish?"

"Clan leader, pondering on this serves no purpose now. We should head to the police force immediately to prevent the situation from deteriorating."

"Let's go, to the police force!"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku stood up, not even taking the time to change his clothes, and followed Aien outside.

Simultaneously, the Second Elder, Kenji, also received news. Upon hearing the update relayed by Shoji, Kenji couldn't help but laugh.

"To possess such audacity at such a young age, coupled with a meticulous mind that avoids impulsive revenge, is commendable. However, if Yoichi-kun wishes to stir things up, then let's escalate it further."

"Rie, have Horigawa-kun assist as well, just like Shoji did."

Uchiha Horigawa, a prominent member within the Uchiha clan known for his explosive temper, previously acted rashly on the battlefield and hence was assigned back to the police force as a squad captain. He is related to Shoji as cousins and is also a nephew of Kenji.

Before the outbreak of the Third Great Ninja War and long after the Second Great Ninja War had concluded, the number of ninjas within the Uchiha clan had significantly increased.

The police force, comprising 300 members across four squads, included two squad captains from Kenji's lineage, excluding the clan's other ninjas.

At this time, the Uchiha clan's strength was unquestionable. After the decline of the Senju clan, the Uchiha emerged as Konoha's premier ninja clan.

Everyone was now converging towards the police force.

When Hiruzen arrived at the police force, he encountered Danzo and his Root operatives. Seeing the people behind Danzo, Hiruzen's expression darkened.

"Danzo, what do you intend by bringing so many people? Internal strife within the village is absolutely forbidden!"

The peace maintained since the end of the Second Great Ninja War was on the brink of collapse, as evident from the Stone Village's open violation of the treaty, indicating their intent to test the waters for war.

Upon hearing Hiruzen's reprimand, Danzo replied with a cold, angry tone, "The police force has become lawless. If I don't bring additional personnel, I might be the next one apprehended!"

"That won't happen, Lord Danzo."

Fugaku appeared in front of Hiruzen, nodding in acknowledgment before stating, "There must be some misunderstanding. Lord Hokage, allow me to address this."

Danzo retorted with a sarcastic sneer, "You handle this? Fugaku, if you could command the police force, this situation wouldn't have arisen. You..."

"Enough, Danzo. I trust Fugaku-kun."

Hiruzen rebuked Danzo, internally cursing him for his foolishness. Was this a time to sow division?

However, Danzo didn't share this view. A staunch militarist, he fully inherited Tobirama's discriminatory stance towards the Uchiha.

'Hiruzen is too lenient. This is the moment to firmly suppress the Uchiha, eliminating any undesirable tendencies. Had I been Hokage, such incidents would never occur within the village.'

"Let's proceed, Fugaku-kun. Let us clarify the misunderstanding at the police force!"

After speaking, Hiruzen gestured for Fugaku to lead the way, and the group promptly headed towards the police force headquarters.

Upon their arrival, Fugaku immediately sensed something was amiss. Normally, the police force would rotate two squads for duty, but today, members who were supposed to be off-duty had also convened here.

"Horigawa, why are you here?"

"Clan leader, the Second Elder indicated that assistance might be needed here, so he sent me to check."

Horigawa responded indifferently, then upon noticing Hiruzen behind Fugaku, inquired, "Lord Hokage, you've come as well."

"I came to observe. The police force apprehended some individuals today; there must be some misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? No, Lord Hokage, there's absolutely no misunderstanding. Far from it, the police force now possesses ample evidence that those detained were secretly communicating with the Stone Ninja!"

Yoichi emerged from the police force, gradually starting to speak, while glancing at Danzo and offering a cold smirk.

"Lord Hokage, it's unclear how extensive the Shimura clan's involvement is. I believe it's prudent for the police force to detain all Shimura clan members for now. As for Lord Danzo himself... hehe, a disciple of the Second Hokage is unlikely to betray the village, but it would be best for Lord Danzo to voluntarily submit to interrogation to prove his innocence!"

Danzo's complexion turned utterly livid.

How many years had he served as the Hokage's advisor? Who in the village dared speak to him in such a manner!

Demanding he submit to interrogation? What gave this Uchiha youth the audacity to utter such words!

Fury blazed within Danzo as he glared murderously at Yoichi, aware that he couldn't touch him within the confines of the police force and prioritizing the retrieval of his personnel.

"Retrieve the individuals!"

Danzo ordered coldly, eager only to take his people and depart. As for settling scores with this detestable Uchiha, opportunities would arise later!

Clang! The Raiden blade was swiftly unsheathed by Yoichi, who was then enveloped in a crackling surge of potent lightning.

"Intrusion into the police force will be treated as espionage and betrayal, punishable by immediate execution!"

His tone was definitive and resolute. Yoichi then coldly smirked at Danzo again, "I'm aware you possess numerous loyal subordinates, Lord Danzo, but there's no need to test my commitment to protecting Konoha in such a manner. Once I declare it, I will act! Absolutely!"

"If Lord Danzo doubts me, continue to send them over!"

After Yoichi concluded, his gaze slightly narrowed, the blood-red pupils with two swirling tomoe, and the lightning-wreathed Raiden blade, as if poised to strike imminently.

Danzo's face turned an angry shade of purple, his fury nearly crushing the cane in his grip.

Then, gritting his teeth, he addressed Fugaku, "This is the police force, Uchiha Clan Leader!"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku internally conceded that the situation could not be allowed to deteriorate further, also noting Hiruzen's displeasure.

Thus, Fugaku approached the police force, simultaneously issuing a stern directive to Yoichi, "Yoichi, let me take the individuals for now; I will handle this matter."

Crackle! Before Fugaku could finish, the lightning-enshrouded Raiden blade was brandished in front of him, halting him mid-sentence at Yoichi's icy gaze.

"Clan leader, do not test whether I will act. It would be better for the Root operatives to attempt it; let's see if they dare breach the police force, and whether this Raiden blade hesitates to fall upon their heads!

Or perhaps, let Lord Danzo personally test it, to see if this Raiden blade wavers!"

Upon Yoichi's declaration, the blood-red eyes of several police force members behind him activated their Sharingan in unison.

Both two-tomoe and three-tomoe Sharingan were present in abundance!

The gaze of over a dozen crimson pupils exerted an immense pressure on those present.

At that moment, numerous Uchiha clan members emerged from the police force headquarters, silently aligning behind their kin who had activated their Sharingan, remaining speechless.

The atmosphere on site instantaneously plummeted to an icy silence.

Chapter 35: Chapter 35

Fugaku's face had never looked so grim. As a clan leader, being threatened with a ninja blade by his own clansman, who even mentioned decapitating him, was unprecedented.

His dark pupils swiftly turned blood-red, and the three tomoe of his Sharingan slowly rotated. Uchiha Fugaku said with a somber tone, "I am the head of the clan, and I will enter now to take those people away!"

"Heh."

Yoichi snickered upon hearing this, his expression cold. He tilted his head, indicating the police force's gate to Uchiha Fugaku, "Try it, clan leader."

The Raiden blade remained raised, its blood-red tomoe locked in a stare with Fugaku's three tomoe. Yoichi's expression seemed to state a fact: 'If you dare enter, I dare to chop off your head.'

In Yoichi's view, Fugaku, who had been propped up by Danzo's words, didn't deserve to be the clan leader. By this time, the militaristic faction aligned with the Second Elder had already made their choice, and it would be best for Fugaku, the clan leader, not to betray the will of his clansmen.

Otherwise, the same way he was elevated to his position, he could be dragged down!

Truth be told, Fugaku did not possess the Mangekyo Sharingan nor the strength to convince all clan members; even if he did, making an unsatisfactory decision would still not garner their support.

Take Uchiha Madara, for example, whose decision to join Konoha was his own, and yet he wanted to leave again just a few years later, causing turmoil—moving the clan to the village only to declare moving back.

Should Fugaku indeed take a step forward, Yoichi would genuinely dare to strike him down. It wasn't as if he had no cards to play; Yoichi could still summon King Ghidorah one more time. If Konoha wanted to turn hostile, then no one would get off easily.

He could summon King Ghidorah directly within Konoha, destroying this damn village; initiating the Third Great Ninja War two years early and making Konoha history!

Fugaku found himself in a difficult position, pressured by Danzo from behind and watched by Hiruzen.

What infuriated Fugaku the most was being threatened by Yoichi, a younger member of his clan.

Fugaku felt that if he truly didn't enter now, the clan leader's dignity would be completely lost.

Thus, a few seconds after Yoichi finished speaking, Fugaku lifted his foot towards the police force's gate, seemingly determined to go in and bring those people out.

'What a pathetic clan leader!'

Yoichi thought bitterly, ready to go down together, who was afraid of whom!

The Raiden blade crackled intensely with lightning, and with a swift motion, it aimed straight for Fugaku's neck.

Yoichi held nothing back with this strike, believing that if he didn't establish his authority now, he might face a fate worse than death later on.

If Fugaku dared to step forward under the guise of the clan leader, then death was what he sought!

Clang! A clear, ear-piercing clang of metal collision sounded as a chakra blade, shimmering with white light, intercepted the Raiden blade.

The invisible wind-style chakra on the white short blade easily shredded the lightning encasing the Raiden blade.

Wind-style's cutting power countered the piercing force of lightning-style, something Yoichi had experienced during spars with Kakashi; though Kakashi's wind-style wasn't as strong back then, making the counter not as apparent.

However, on the White Fang of Konoha, the elemental counter was strikingly clear.

"Yoichi-kun, please calm down. The most important thing now is to clarify the spy issue; everyone is too impulsive."

Sakumo spoke with a gentle tone, having used almost instantaneous movement to appear from behind Hiruzen to Fugaku's side, blocking Yoichi's strike.

The sparks generated by the collision of the two ninja blades nearly splattered onto Fugaku's neck, leaving him with a mix of anger and astonishment.

Fugaku hadn't expected Yoichi to truly attempt to kill him; had it not been for Sakumo's intervention, his neck might have been severed by now.

"Uchiha Yoichi!"

Fugaku shouted angrily, about to use his Sharingan to cast a genjutsu on Yoichi.

However, before he could act, a hand rested on his shoulder, interrupting Fugaku's move with a gentle but firm grip.

"Clan Leader Fugaku, let's all calm down. The misunderstanding will deepen if we continue like this. We just need to clarify if Yoichi-kun's detainees are indeed spies from the Stone Village. All misunderstandings will be resolved, and Yoichi-kun's actions were for the village's sake. Moreover, Yoichi-kun didn't actually harm anyone; even without me, Clan Leader Fugaku wouldn't have been in danger. I was just being meddlesome."

Sakumo's voice was gentle, yet his words commanded respect from everyone present.

Being the White Fang of Konoha, with a reputation and prowess that could intimidate enemy village Jonin and even earn respect from the Sannin, many in the village speculated that in terms of sheer strength, perhaps only Hiruzen was stronger than the White Fang.

And his words also surprised Yoichi, seemingly helping him smooth over the situation. However, after a moment of thought, Yoichi understood it was probably because Kakashi had discussed the matter with his father.

Fugaku took a deep breath, managing to suppress his rage. Sakumo had just saved him, and being significantly stronger, Fugaku decided to see how Sakumo would handle the situation.

"Third Hokage, the root of the dispute lies in whether those individuals are spies. If so, let's investigate now to dispel all misunderstandings," Sakumo addressed Hiruzen, prompting action.

Hiruzen, no longer able to feign ignorance, responded, "Very well, Sakumo-kun. I entrust this matter to you."

Relieved, Hiruzen sighed internally. Sakumo seldom approached him, but his visit to the Hokage's office today, discussing Kakashi's mission and the leaked intelligence, hinted at a near disaster for Sakumo's only son. Betraying village ninjas and leaking intelligence violated Sakumo's principles.

Knowing Sakumo wouldn't deceive him, Hiruzen took the matter seriously. Given the news of Kakashi teaming up with Yoichi and a bit of deduction, it wasn't hard to guess who had the audacity to undertake such actions.

Danzo!

With Hiruzen's permission, Sakumo turned to Yoichi, "Yoichi-kun, please let me accompany you inside. If they are indeed spies communicating with the Stone Village, they shouldn't be overlooked."

"Please, follow me, Sakumo-san."

After a moment, Yoichi addressed Sakumo, then proceeded towards the police force.

Entering, Yoichi noticed the complex glances from his clansmen—mixtures of awe and shock, possibly because they saw Yoichi dare to confront the clan leader and intimidate Root operatives, significantly boosting the police force's reputation.

In truth, the police force had often been bullied by Root. Previously, when the police force rigorously purged spies from the village, Root operatives would demand their release under various pretexts.

Moreover, their demeanor was disdainful, as if the police force was obligated to serve Root.

Therefore, after today, the police force's respect for Yoichi was partly due to his boldness and partly due to the satisfaction of seeing Root operatives being intimidated.
