The Master of Konoha's Legacy

By the way, please also mark whoever didn't mention it. I highly suspect that person is Captain Shota's accomplice in his crimes.

After Uchiha Tonan finished speaking, he picked up his teacup, lowered his eyes, and took small sips.

There was a moment of silence, but someone soon broke it.

“I said that Shota Shimokawahara was secretly collecting protection money from gangsters outside the city.”

"He also smuggled contraband into the city."

"He also sheltered several human trafficking organizations."

......

Time passed little by little.

Everyone who confessed to Uenohara Shota's crimes was released by Uchiha Tonan.

Yoshihara Aoi quickly wrote down the crimes in her notebook.

Only after no one else voiced their accusations did they hand the notebook over to Uchiha Tonan.

Uchiha Tonan waved the notebook, filled with densely packed records of crimes, in front of Uenohara Shota and said:

"Did you see that clearly? Is that enough for you to die?"

Shota Uenohara took a few deep breaths and said in a deliberately tough tone, "Without substantial evidence, you can't do anything to me according to the laws of the Land of Fire."

"I will burn the evidence for you. If you have any grievances, tell Da Ming in a dream."

Uchiha Tonan chuckled and shook his head, then pointed to a guard from the northern city and said:

"As colleagues, you've come to see him off. I remember you were the one who reported the most crimes."

The guard from the north city looked around and walked forward shakily.

She reached out and picked up the kunai, looking at Uenohara Shota with a hesitant expression.

After all, the reason he knew so much about Uenohara Shota was because the two were very close friends, and he had been involved in all of these things.

At this moment, Shota Uenohara truly panicked, his face filled with terror as he said:

"No! I surrender to you, I'll do anything you want..."

Uchiha Tonan didn't urge him, and stroked his chin as if pondering:

"If you submit to me, you will still be the vice captain, and today's events will just be a misunderstanding."

You won't retaliate against those who reported you, will you?

"Pfft~"

No sooner had Uchiha Tonan finished speaking than the North City Guard plunged a kunai into Uenohara Shota's heart.

Upon seeing Uenohara Shota's death, Uchiha Tonan slapped his forehead in frustration.

"It's my fault, I thought about it for too long, and now there's no going back."

"From now on, you'll be the vice-captain."

"Thank you, Lord Tunan."

The North City Guard knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Uchiha Tonan.

Uchiha Tonan nodded in satisfaction and pointed to the few people still in the mud, saying:

"These remaining ones are yours. Don't be shy, everyone should get one."

Seeing that Uenohara Shota had been killed, the others panicked and shouted:

"Sir, we say that Shota Uenohara raped a woman."

"Shota Uenohara bribed the head of the Imperial Guard, Daisaku Uekawa."

"Pfft~"

"Pfft~"

......

Is there any collusion between them and the leader of the Guardian's Mansion...?

A thoughtful look flashed across Uchiha Tonan's eyes, then he slowly stood up and said:

“You should wash yourselves so that others won’t say that we Beichengwei people are slovenly.”

Also, go back and tell the people on duty today about this.

From now on, you all need to behave yourselves and not break the law.

I must diligently cultivate my skills. From now on, whatever comes my way, I will follow the instructions of my attendants.

After saying that, he went to his bedroom, took a storage scroll, and left the mansion.

Once on the street, Uchiha Tonan randomly asked someone:

"Who should I contact to report official corruption?"

"We should look for the Minister of the Censorate, Fukuda Masaki, who is located in the northwest of Daimyo Prefecture."

There are guards at the gate; you can just ask them.

"Thank you so much."

Uchiha Tonan thanked him and turned to walk in the direction the passerby pointed.

Before long, they arrived at the residence of the Minister of Inspection and met Fukuda Masaki as they had hoped.

In the living room, Uchiha Tonan knelt before the table, looked at Fukuda Masaki opposite him, and bowed respectfully, saying:

"Greetings, Lord Masaki."

Fukuda Masaki said in a deep voice:

"You are the newly appointed captain of the North City Guard, Uchiha Tonan."

I don't know who you want to report.

"I want to report that the deputy captain of the North City Guard, Uenohara Shota, is corrupt and acts as a protector of organized crime."

These are the charges against him, collectively denounced by his subordinates in the North City Guard.

Uchiha Tonan handed the book of sins he was carrying to Fukuda Masaki.

Fukuda Masaki opened the book of crimes and was immediately stunned by the densely packed charges of crimes and countless handprints.

At this moment, only one sentence was on Fukuda Masaki's mind.

The wall fell and everyone pushed.

"This matter is of great importance. Without substantial evidence, I have no choice but to report it to my lord for a decision," Fukuda Masaki replied indifferently.

Uchiha Tonan nodded, then suddenly seemed to remember something, took out a sealing scroll from his ninja tool bag, placed it on the table, and spread it out.

Then, by forming hand seals, the contents of the sealed scroll were released.

"Boom."

All that could be seen were neatly stacked, colorful banknotes, presented before Masaki Fukuda's eyes.

Fukuda Masaki merely glanced at it, but with his extensive knowledge, he could roughly tell that there were approximately five million taels in total.

"When I saw these charges, I was extremely indignant."

In a moment of impulse, he killed him and several of his accomplices.

In addition, this is the 500,000 ryo that Uenohara Shota wanted to bribe me with.

These embezzled funds should be turned over.

I don't know if what I did broke the rules.

After saying this with a smile, Uchiha Tonan stretched out his hands and pushed the banknotes in front of Fukuda Masaki.

Fukuda Masaki immediately narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said righteously:

"What this guy did is outrageous and resented by everyone. Anyone with a sense of justice could tolerate it."

I completely understand what Tu Nan did.

"Don't worry, the lord will certainly not blame Lord Tu Nan."

"Thank you very much, Lord Masaki. I'll take my leave now."

I will have the criminal's body brought over later.

Uchiha Tonan smiled politely and nodded, then paused for a moment, gently patted the banknotes, and said:

"I report on the situation of the North City Guard to Lord Zhengshu once a month."

"I will hand over the prisoners and the stolen money to Lord Masaki in full."

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan got up and left.

Fukuda Masaki immediately understood the hidden meaning in Uchiha Tonan's words.

It means that he would provide himself with political achievements and money every month.

This move not only brings huge benefits to oneself, but also signifies that the other party is on one's side.

He was immediately overjoyed and enthusiastically stood up, saying:

"Lord Tunan is truly a man of noble character. I'll see you off."

(Bonus chapter for the 10,000-reward gift for "Though Though We Are Far Apart")

Uchiha Tonan returned to the North City Guard Mansion and sat in the hall drinking tea.

The guards from the North City had already left under the arrangement of their attendants.

Before long, Yoshihara Aoi respectfully handed over the scroll in his hand and said softly:

"Lord Tunan."

Uchiha Tonan put down his teacup, unfurled the scroll, and then formed hand seals to release the seal.

Bang!
