Chapter 102 Hoping the Police Force Will Uphold Its Duties (3k views, please vote!!)

The scene of a warrior slaying a dragon has always been a privilege reserved for a select few.

Back when the Nine-Tails went out of control, in the sanctuary of Konoha.

As far as the eye could see, there were crowds of people rushing in in a panic, like black waves.

"Don't push! Be careful not to fall!"

Several black-haired, black-eyed ninjas were scattered along the passageway, impatiently directing the villagers and shouting, "Hey! You over there, slow down! Do you want to be trampled into mincemeat?"

They were all dressed in black, tight-fitting combat uniforms, with the Konoha Police Force's insignia embroidered on their shoulders—a pattern of a fire fan engraved on their shuriken.

They were the Konoha police force, and also members of the Uchiha clan. Their rude and abusive attitude actually had a good effect, allowing them to evacuate the crowd in an orderly manner and enter the shelter to avoid danger.

Besides the Uchiha clan members of the Konoha Police Force, there were also ninjas affected by the first wave of air raids.

They were already a defeated force, each of them with an abnormally reddish tinge on their bodies, accompanied by mild to moderate concussions and visceral discomfort.

Even so, everyone did their best to remove those who were incapacitated but still had a chance of being rescued from the attack area.

Meanwhile, above the Konoha sanctuary, a dozen Uchiha ninjas gathered, each staring intently at the rampaging demon fox in the distance.

Boom! Boom!

The sun rose, casting a halo around its corona, and brilliant flames filled the sky, while thick smoke billowed and stretched into the heavens.

It rises and shatters, going back and forth endlessly.

"Even with Mito's abilities, she couldn't suppress the Nine-Tails?"

Uchiha Yomo looked gravely at the Nine-Tails raging in the distance, his face flushed a pale red by the distant flames. He murmured, "Or is it related to those guys who suddenly appeared calling themselves the Sky Army?"

The terrifying fluctuations in the sky and the evil chakra aura of the Nine-Tails combined simultaneously, causing even the head of the Uchiha clan to feel cold sweat on his hands.

He had forgotten how many years it had been since he last saw such a scene, and he had never seen such a hellish scene in Konoha.

Those guys who call themselves the Sky Legion, or rather, the people controlling them from behind, chose Konoha when it was most vulnerable.

Two of the four ANBU squads were dispatched, and Danzo's Root unit was also dispatched, leaving only the police force, two ANBU squads, and clan ninjas who were difficult to coordinate.

It's extremely difficult to get those ninja clans to come out of their clan territories and face the enemy directly, because in their eyes, their clan territories behind them are the safest place, and naturally, they must prioritize protecting the clansmen within their territories.

Therefore, in the immediate aftermath of the accident, the defensive capabilities that the Third Generation could utilize were extremely weak.

The fact that the enemy chose this particular moment to attack Konoha clearly indicates that they had planned and prepared this attack in advance, and that they were very familiar with the situation in Konoha.

Furthermore, the other party mentioned the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools and the fact that someone in Konoha colluded with the Hidden Mist Village...

"Chieftain, those guys seem to be up to something again!"

Just then, an exclamation from an Uchiha ninja behind him interrupted Uchiha Yomo's thoughts, causing him to subconsciously look up into the distance.

The aerial ninja adjusted their formation, while the first ninja to speak up looked down at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was dealing with the fox demon below.

"As expected of the respected Third Hokage, he was willing to grit his teeth and watch the villagers die in order to maintain his glorious and noble image, and kept saying that he knew nothing about the truth."

His tone was full of mockery as he surveyed the Konoha people below, and he said loudly, "However, my master is the kindest of all, and cannot bear to see innocent civilians suffer. He did not order us to exterminate them!"

He said that if no one is willing to understand the truth, then even if the truth is scattered all over the streets, not a single seed will sprout!

At this point, the Sky Ninja Captain suddenly paused, a cold smile appearing on his face. "So, from now on, please live each day with gratitude and fear!"

"Because this is just the beginning!"

"We don't crave for you to accept the truth. Since you're unwilling to admit your mistakes or hand over the culprit who colluded with Kirigakure to destroy Uzushiogakure, then be prepared to fight us to the death!"

"But the next group to come to Konoha won't just be our Sky Legion, but also the undead of the Uzumaki clan!"

After saying that, the air ninja captain spewed air from the wings of his aircraft, and the shadows cast below moved accordingly, narrowly avoiding a long, thin black shadow.

"Trying to use the same trick twice?" The Sky Ninja Captain looked down at the Nara ninjas below, their hands forming hand seals and their faces grim, and sneered, "Fools! I hope you can survive against that Mito-sama!"

Having said that, he didn't linger or waste any more words. Amidst the fearful, angry, surprised, or thoughtful gazes of the air ninjas, he and the others instantly ascended to a higher altitude.

"Chief! Those flying bastards are going too far!"

A Uchiha ninja stepped forward, his face flushed with anger, and said, "The villagers have been mostly evacuated. Let's hurry and intercept them!"

"Yes, clan leader!" The other Uchiha ninjas were equally indignant. "We can't just stand by and watch those bastards get away!!"

First, they broke through the barrier and launched an aerial attack on Konoha. Then, they made outrageous and violent remarks in front of the Third Hokage and threatened him in public to hand over the so-called murderer.

Even after forcibly bringing out the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, some means were used to drive him into a berserk state.

They left behind some incomprehensible words and threats, and then tried to pat themselves on the back and swagger away safely.

This angered the usually emotional Uchiha clan members to the point that their blood pressure soared. Their faces turned red, and it seemed as if, if their arteries were cut, the blood would shoot into the sky like water from a squeezed-open pipe.

For the Uchiha, who always liked to call themselves "the head of the Konoha ninja clan" and were proud of it, the behavior of those bastards was no different from sitting on their faces and rubbing them repeatedly!

"Chieftain, don't hesitate any longer!"

As the air ninjas were about to swagger away, an older Uchiha ninja blurted out, "Have you forgotten? Lord Madara once used his Sharingan to control..."

"Shut up!"

Before the Uchiha ninja could finish speaking, Uchiha Shira interrupted him in a gloomy tone.

He subconsciously turned his head to look around, and only after confirming that no one else had heard him did he let out a deep sigh of relief.

"Never say things like that again!"

He turned back to the group and gave them a warning, then softened his expression and tone, saying, "Let's go. Since the Third Hokage is unable to intervene, we'll stop those bastards!"

Just as Uchiha Yomo was about to lead the excited Uchiha ninjas to give chase, a masked ninja suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

"The Third Hokage's Dark Guard?"

Uchiha Yomo paused for a moment, then subconsciously stopped and said, "Don't worry, we're on our way to intercept those flying guys."

But the ANBU ninja did not step aside as he expected. Instead, he spoke to the Uchiha group in a calm, even cold, tone: "The Third Hokage has ordered that the police force uphold its duties, hold the rear, and protect the people."

"Do not leave without authorization, lest the enemy take advantage of the situation and cause injury to the civilians."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yomo frowned deeply, a flash of crimson appearing in his narrowed eyes.

"Do you know what you're saying?!"

The Uchiha ninjas behind him had no such patience. They glared angrily at the ANBU ninja and demanded, "Aren't you just making us Uchiha clan guard this place? Aren't we just being ridiculed for being cowards?!"

Konoha is currently facing a very serious crisis. As one of the main founders of Konoha, he stayed in the shelter with some civilians the whole time. Wouldn't that make the Uchiha clan bear the stigma of being cowardly and afraid of death?

"This is an order; whether you obey or not is up to you."

But faced with the intimidation of numerous Uchiha ninjas, the ANBU ninja simply said in a calm tone, "That's all I have to say."

After saying that, his figure vanished from the spot and disappeared from the sight of the Uchiha clan.

"Damn it! Explain yourself!"

An angry Uchiha Jonin roared and took a step forward to chase after the Anbu ninja.

Uchiha Yomo reached out to stop him, shaking his head with a gloomy expression and saying in a deep voice, "That's enough."

"Clan leader? You..."

"Call me Captain!" Before he could speak again, Uchiha Shiro interrupted, "You must address people by their titles when working!"

Upon hearing this, the other Uchiha ninjas immediately swallowed their words, standing there with clenched fists, looking frustrated and angry.

"Since it's an order, there's nothing we can do about it," Uchiha Yomo sighed.

"They're clearly trying to suppress us on purpose..." a Jonin Uchiha muttered resentfully.

"Don't let your imagination run wild." Sifang turned his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "Protecting the lives of the people of Konoha is indeed the duty of our police force."

He cannot allow this idea to escalate, otherwise it will surely cause trouble in the future.

That being said, he knew very well what was going on in his heart.

Unless the Hokage and other high-ranking officials can genuinely treat them well, this kind of thinking can never be completely eliminated.

Lost in thought, Uchiha Yomo didn't notice that a white head with a spiral pattern was peeking out from the tree behind him.

"Hmm, this generation of Uchiha isn't very good." The White Zetsu named "Tobi" scanned them all, and finally sighed inwardly with some distress, "These guys are all too old and don't meet the requirements at all."

Then, without anyone noticing, they burrowed underground and swam into the shelter.

"Chieftain!"

Just as the Uchiha clan members fell into silence and anger, a figure suddenly appeared behind them, saying urgently, "The people and clansmen in the shelter are suddenly showing strange symptoms!"

This chapter is 3,000 words long; there should be another chapter to go. Let's see how much I can write.
