Chapter 4: Staying Alive is Also a Disgrace
"Captain, everyone is here."
Uchiha Tekka was followed by more than a dozen Uchiha clansmen. These were all the ninjas on duty at the Uchiha Police Department today.
At this time of the day, most of them would still need to patrol the commercial streets, snack streets, and other places in Konoha.
Even though the Ninja World War had been fought for eight years, the lives of ordinary people in Konoha were not greatly affected.
Fighting to the death was a matter for the ninja adults, what did it have to do with ordinary civilians? The five major ninja villages had a tacit understanding on this point.
But those small ninja villages were not so law-abiding. If they couldn't make a living, they would forcibly seize the property of civilians in the village.
Some ninjas in small ninja villages even defected from the village directly to avoid the combat missions assigned by the village, choosing to become a wandering ninja, just relying on the fact that the small ninja village did not have enough ability to pursue and kill them.
This led the civilians of small ninja villages to start fleeing to the five major ninja villages in a targeted manner, and the most suitable place to settle down was naturally Konoha.
Relative to the decrease in the number of Konoha ninjas, the population of ordinary civilians in Konoha, after experiencing the First Ninja World War, did not decrease but increased.
This made Konoha's commerce more developed, leading the workload of the Uchiha Police Department to remain heavy.
When there are many people, there are more strange things of all kinds. Petty theft is endless, and this requires the police department to solve it.
Not only that, those who come to Konoha are not only ordinary civilians, but also spies from various major ninja villages lurking among them. The Uchiha Police Department also cooperates with the Anbu under the Hokage to secretly deal with spies.
"Captain, what's the matter, you have to call all the duty personnel over, these days are too busy."
"Yes, captain, what about the expansion of our police department, the adults of Hokage have not given a statement, and now there are not enough people at all. We need to draw some ordinary people from the family. Anyway, they are all managing civilians, not necessarily ninjas."
"."
Uchiha Inari stood behind Uchiha Tekka and complained. He and Tekka were twins, and they were in the same team with Uchiha Nan on the battlefield.
The two of them were not ninjas within the Konoha establishment, and did not have a name in the village.
They were ninjas trained within the family, belonging to the Uchiha's private army. The duration of the First Ninja World War was as long as eight years, and even some of the private troops within the family were transferred to the battlefield.
These two brothers had a very good relationship with Uchiha Nan. After all, they had been on the battlefield together, and Uchiha Nan had saved Inari's younger brother Inari's life.
As soon as he entered the door, Inari began to complain about the recent series of troubles.
"Captain, I really don't want to retreat from the front line. It's better for me to fight on the battlefield than to deal with some trivial matters every day."
"Captain?"
Uchiha Nan didn't speak, just kept staring at Inari. Uchiha Nan's eyes made Uchiha Inari feel scared.
The last time the captain was so serious was when they were blocked in a stone cave by more than a dozen upper ninjas from Yunyin Village. If it wasn't for the captain's sudden explosion and killing everyone, their lives would have been left there.
"Captain, I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"
Uchiha Inari smiled, while giving his brother Tekka a look.
"Inari, shut your mouth. The captain hasn't spoken yet, and you're the only one who keeps talking."
Tekka knocked on Inari's head with his hand, then turned his head to Uchiha Nan, waiting for Uchiha Nan to speak.
The other Uchiha clansmen, seeing Inari shut up, also sensibly closed their mouths.
Although Uchiha Nan had always shown himself to be friendly in the clan, and was gentle to everyone, after all, when he crossed over, he also received nine years of compulsory education under the red flag. Every day, he just silently accumulated character to draw the turntable and make himself stronger, but no one dared to touch Uchiha Nan's bad luck.
Uchiha Nan was a tough guy on the battlefield, with lightning all over his body. The hidden blade in the brilliant lightning, in an instant, the enemy's head had already fallen to the ground. Uchiha Nan's position as the captain of the police department was not exchanged for by nepotism, but was promoted from battlefield military exploits.
Obviously, the Uchiha present all felt that Captain Uchiha Nan's attitude was unusual today.
"Inari, you just complained that Lord Hokage has been slow to expand the police department's establishment?"
Uchiha Nan let go of Manji in his hand, stood up and moved his body, then looked at Uchiha Inari and said.
"Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Uchiha Inari touched his head. The one just now from his brother Tekka was quite painful.
"Humph"
Uchiha Nan sneered.
"The expansion of the Uchiha Police Department's establishment may be delayed for a while. Lord Hokage has no chance to agree."
"Just now I got news that Lord Hokage has already died in the negotiation with the Raikage."
Uchiha Nan's words were like a heavy hammer hitting the heads of the Uchiha present, and everyone's heads were dizzy.
"Captain?"
"You're not kidding, Lord Hokage is dead?"
"Still dead at the negotiation?"
Uchiha Tekka's tone was unbelievable, and he felt a kind of absurdity about Tobirama Senju's death.
This adult is famously cunning. The old people in the clan who have lived from the Warring States period, when they usually cursed Tobirama, would add words like cunning, dark-hearted, and a bad seed with a belly full of conspiracies and tricks.
Even more pessimistic old people have said that Tobirama, that cunning fellow, is probably more able to live than me. The Uchiha don't seem to have a chance in decades. No one in the clan can fight with Tobirama, that dark-hearted bastard. Heaven does not bless my Uchiha clan.
Tekka, who had been taught by the clan's seniors since he was a child, had heard too many of these words.
Among those old people who survived from the Warring States period, some had deep-seated hatred for Tobirama, and were forced to only be able to curse him verbally. But even in verbal curses, they maintained a high degree of unity on the matter of Tobirama being able to live.
"Is this kind of thing a joke?"
Uchiha Nan looked at Uchiha Tekka seriously and said.
"According to the information I received, the Gold and Silver Brothers under the Second Raikage launched a coup and ambushed the Second Raikage and Lord Tobirama at the negotiating table."
"The Second Raikage died, Lord Tobirama was seriously injured, and led the shadow guards to be chased by the elite troops of the Gold and Silver Brothers. Finally, in order to cover the shadow guards' escape, he alone lured away the chasing troops until he died in battle."
Uchiha Nan briefly explained the course of the matter, and Uchiha Tekka felt his head swell. If the person in front of him was not Uchiha Nan, Uchiha Tekka would have wanted to slap him.
What nonsense are you making up here? What is it called the Hokage covering the shadow guards?
Which family's shadow guards would let the shadow of a village cover their own escape!
Just surviving like this is not enough to be ashamed of!
