"The Konoha Police Department's capabilities are as reassuring as ever."
Konoha, Hokage Building.
The other end of the crystal ball.
Hiruzen Sarutobi ended his spying and let out a seemingly heartfelt sigh.
He's been watching it all day.
In one day, the Konoha Police Department solved a number of cases, both large and small.
From gamblers getting into fights in casinos to middle-aged women bickering in the market.
Wherever there are conflicts and chaos.
The Konoha Police Department always manages to arrive at the scene in the shortest amount of time.
Inside Konoha, thanks to the efforts of the Konoha Guard.
Utterly peaceful...
He could be a Hokage, the leader of a village.
His vision could not be so shallow.
An elite force capable of reaching any corner of Konoha in an instant...
This also reflects the strength of the Uchiha clan.
The Uchiha clan is more like a sword, a demonic sword.
Externally, you can trust the sharpness of the Demon Blade to kill enemies and defend the village, making you invincible.
But this knife was hidden in the village.
Given the circumstances surrounding Hiruzen Sarutobi and other high-ranking members of Konoha, it's necessary to consider...
This knife.
Will they cut the Leaf Village into pieces?
Or perhaps...
When will the Uchiha turn their swords against Konoha?
Especially after the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage.
A being that can use illusion magic to manipulate the Nine-Tails...
He took a puff of smoke and then gently exhaled.
After a few puffs of smoke, the large office was filled with smoke.
"From this day forward, except for important missions, you shall remain in the clan."
a long time.
The elderly man, who had served as Hokage twice, made a barely audible sound.
This is an order.
But it sounds more like a sigh.
A dark shadow suddenly flashed across the empty floor.
Immediately afterwards, a man wearing a green vest with the color of Konoha, an animal mask on his face, and naturally curly hair appeared.
"yes."
"Lord Hokage."
The man's name was Uchiha Shisui.
He is also currently the only Uchiha in the vast Konoha who belongs to the Anbu.
The one who answered the question then simply removed his mask.
The face, which bore a striking resemblance to his old friend, immediately softened Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze.
"Although it's frustrating, it's still troublesome."
"If there is any unusual information about the Uchiha clan, report it to me immediately."
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the order again in a soft voice, this time his voice sounded utterly exhausted.
...
The next morning.
It was still breakfast time.
The Fugaku family of four enjoyed breakfast together, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
But Itachi felt that something was off...
After sending Haruko back to her clan's territory yesterday, he rushed to the Konoha Police Department as soon as possible.
He could no longer understand his father's expression.
For the first time, he saw disappointment and helplessness in his father's eyes!
"Are you going to school today?"
After breakfast, just as Itachi was about to leave, Fugaku suddenly asked a question.
Itachi paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, Father."
"I see..." Fugaku stroked his chin, seemingly deep in thought.
"You must work hard."
The teachings seemed ordinary, but they were full of inexplicable meaning.
Itachi felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Just as he was about to agree, Fugaku reached into his pocket again and pulled out a wad of banknotes.
"Itachi, you've grown up."
"Although it has little to do with training, managing money is a required course for ninjas."
"Remember, buying gifts is fine, but don't forget the three prohibitions."
After saying that, Fugaku smiled meaningfully and placed a stack of banknotes on the table.
Mother Mikoto smiled and picked up little Sasuke as she got up and left.
At the dining table.
Itachi's little face was full of question marks...
...
On the other side.
It was still in the grove.
While Itachi was still eating breakfast and receiving his allowance.
Qingchuan has finished his regular training for the Five Hundred Blades Slashing Path.
The early bird catches the worm; time waits for no one.
I was covered in sweat, but my blood circulation was also getting going.
Qingchuan closed his eyes, adjusting his breathing while also sensing his surroundings.
There was no one within a five-mile radius.
So...
"You ruler! Mask of flesh and blood, Eternal Treasure, soaring wings, things bearing the name of humanity! Scorching heat and strife, surging southward across the sea, marching forward!"
"Hado #31: Red Fire Cannon!"
Boom!
After the innocent and ethereal chanting, a loud bang suddenly resounded in the forest!
The intensely hot fireball raged and destroyed the forest, leaving it in ruins in no time!
Qingchuan looked at the mess he had made with a mixture of excitement and awe.
"This power..."
"That was fucking exciting!"
The initial solution is more than halfway complete.
Qingchuan's cultivation speed is getting faster and faster. In just one month, he can barely release a medium-level Breaking Dao.
"It's just that the chanting is a bit troublesome."
With a slight pout, Qingchuan shrugged helplessly.
He doesn't have the cringeworthy habit of reciting the names of moves before a fight.
Wearing women's clothing had already exhausted all his capacity for shame.
However, this chanting is also a step in compressing spiritual power, before he fully masters the Ghost Path, or before his control over spiritual power reaches a certain level.
Chanting seems to be indispensable.
Currently, this broken path without chanting is like a soulless being; its power is also diminished.
However, if the power is reduced, using a low-powered version of the Red Fire Cannon to impersonate the Great Fireball seems to work without any problems.
He has now basically given up chakra training.
Although for a moment he tried to combine the power of the two worlds into one.
However, due to the difficulty and time constraints, Qingchuan decided to give up.
Yes.
Even when dressed in women's clothing.
He's also a very faithful man.
