Chapter 129 The First Mass Incident in Konoha's History

"Stop them!"

"What spy? You're making baseless accusations!"

"The Uchiha clan is bullying others with their power! They're lawless! Let's fight them!"

The crowd, which had initially been observing and criticizing, completely lost control and surged forward in a frenzied wave.

Stones, sticks, even vegetable leaves and eggs on the ground...

Everything within reach was used as a weapon by the angry villagers, who hurled it at the four people surrounded in the middle.

Countless arms reached out to the controlled woman, trying to pull her back into the crowd, while countless other arms grabbed at the four Uchiha!

They pulled at their clothes and shoved their bodies!
They exchanged blows and spittle, their words flying everywhere!
The scene descended into complete chaos and the most dangerous physical conflict!
This is what is known as a "mass incident," which is a group activity that is triggered by certain social conflicts, where a large number of people temporarily gather to form a coincidental group.

Group behaviors that involve verbal or physical conflicts, such as expressing demands and assertions, directly striving to and protecting their own interests, or venting dissatisfaction.

Therefore, various events that have had a significant negative impact on social order and social stability.

It could even be said that, under Hyuga Kumokawa's influence, this was the first "mass incident" in Konoha's history to be stirred up by ordinary people!
The four members of the Eighth Hokage of the Uchiha clan naturally did not know what a "mass incident" was, nor did they understand how destructive a "mass incident" could be in the closed-off Konoha.

Driven by extreme anger and dangerous instincts, Uchiha Inahashi, Tekka, and Yakumi had already completely let loose.

Their Sharingan eyes swirled, and their dynamic vision allowed them to catch every potentially threatening movement amidst the chaos, parrying incoming punches and kicks, and inevitably using genjutsu to retaliate.

However, because they dared not use excessive force and only made the villagers fall into a deep sleep, the situation became increasingly chaotic.

"Stop! Stop it all!"

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha roared at the top of his lungs, trying to stop his clansmen and quell the angry villagers, but his voice was drowned out by the shouts and fighting.

Looking at Uchiha Inahisa's contorted face, at the woman still screaming in terror, at the villagers surging in from all directions...

Uchiha Hachimoku felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his heart filled with a chill. The usually composed man was stunned by a ringing in his ears and stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

However, given how far things have developed, it's impossible to let things continue like this.

Wow!

A huge ball of water suddenly appeared above the crowd, and before they could react, it burst open and poured down on them.

"what!"

"Pfft! Ahem!"

The originally deafening roar suddenly stopped as if it had been choked. The icy cold water soaked their bodies, giving the crowd, who were caught in the scuffle, shove, and shouting a shiver!
Everyone was soaked to the bone, their hair plastered to their scalps, their clothes clinging to their bodies, curses stuck in their throats, and fists frozen in mid-air.

An eerie silence fell over the entire street, broken only by the startled coughs of people choking on water, and the anger that had been ignited by the crowd was largely extinguished.

"enough!"

Two figures appeared in the center of the crowd using the Instantaneous Movement Technique; they were Kakashi Hatake and Tenzo, both wearing Anbu masks.

The former firmly grasped the woman's arm and wrist with his left hand, and with a forceful push, he snatched the woman back from the stunned Uchiha Inahi's grasp.

"Stop it all!"

Tenzo's cold voice came through the mask, exuding a natural intimidating aura. His gaze swept over all the wet people present, including the four Uchiha who were also soaked.

The two acted swiftly and efficiently; if it weren't for Kakashi Hatake's sudden abnormality, they should have appeared much earlier.

The two's ANBU disguise and the Water Release technique from before took effect. Although everyone's eyes were still filled with anger as they looked at the four Uchiha, their bodies stopped moving as their reason gradually returned.

"You two leaders of the Dark Division, you saw it, didn't you!"

The villagers, who had been awakened by the cold water, seemed to have found their anchor, pointing at the four Uchiha and the woman sobbing in fear.

"It was them! The Uchiha clan started it all!" "That woman only said a few words before they threatened her and even forcibly took her away!"

"Oh dear, they even injured several people. This is clearly police brutality! Does that mean the Uchiha are superior?"

"Yes! They're throwing mud at people for no reason, these mad dogs..."

The crowd's anger was like a temporarily cooled volcano, but their rage had not subsided, and their anger was still directed at the four Uchiha members, their words filled with deep disgust and hostility.

"you!"

Veins bulged on Uchiha Inahisa's forehead, but just as he was about to speak, a deep voice entered his ears.

"Rice Fire! Haven't you made enough of a scene?!"

Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Uchiha Fugaku walking steadily towards them from outside the crowd.

His cold, hard face revealed little emotion; only the depths of his dark eyes exuded a chilling sense of oppression. The already noisy street fell even quieter.

Beside him was Uchiha Itachi.

The crowd instinctively parted to make way for him, and Fugaku walked straight to the heart of the conflict.

Uchiha Itachi stopped outside the crowd. Now eleven years old, he had gradually shed his immaturity and calmly took in the scene before him.

"Lord Fugaku, it's them..."

Uchiha Inahisa opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but under Fugaku's calm and cold gaze, all the words stuck in his throat.

Fugaku's gaze then swept over the disheveled Yashiro, Tekka, and Yakumi, lingering for a moment on their humiliated, resentful, and fearful faces before finally settling on Kakashi.

"I'm sorry for causing trouble for my colleagues in the Anbu," Fugaku Uchiha said with a sigh of relief. "Thank you for coming to stop the chaos."

Then, without waiting for Kakashi's response, he slowly turned around and looked at the group of villagers who were still angry.

Under everyone's gaze, the Uchiha clan patriarch and captain of the Konoha Police Force slowly bent his straight back.

"terribly sorry,"

Fugaku Uchiha lowered his head, his voice clearly reaching everyone's ears: "The duty of the police force is to protect the safety of the villagers and maintain order, not to create conflict and panic."

"Whatever the reason for what happened today."

“Forcibly taking away villagers and causing physical conflict are serious violations of police regulations. This is due to my failure as the captain of the police force to manage my subordinates properly and to provide effective guidance.”

"On behalf of the police force and the Uchiha clan, I extend my sincerest apologies to everyone who was frightened and unjustly accused, especially this lady."

Having said that, Fugaku Uchiha straightened up, his face still expressionless, and said in a deep voice, "All clan members involved will be punished according to the highest disciplinary regulations!"

"Regarding today's misunderstanding and any potential losses you may have suffered, the police force will send someone to your door to apologize and verify compensation. We hope you will understand..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Snapped!
A rotten egg, seemingly out of nowhere, slammed into Fugaku Uchiha's shoulder, staining his clothes and even splashing onto his cheek.

Immediately afterwards, an angry voice rang out from the crowd, shouting: "Punishment? Who believes that! Compensation? Who cares about that little bit of compensation!"

"Stop pretending! We just want to do business normally and stay away from your Uchiha clan!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi Hatake's face twitched involuntarily beneath his mask.

This time, even he was having a bit of a headache.
