Saving the Uchiha clan starts with becoming the clan leader.

The first round is illusion.

Those who cannot break the Fox Heart Technique, whose power has been deliberately reduced, within two minutes will be eliminated. After passing the first round of testing, they can face the second round, which is the shuriken throwing technique. The requirements are not high: fifteen shuriken. They do not need to hit the bullseye all of them. As long as ten shuriken hit the bullseye, they will pass.

Then came the third round.

Equally simple and straightforward, the test was a taijutsu battle, without any fancy tricks. Uchiha Arashiyama selected two or five newly promoted Chunin from the police department to be examiners. As long as you could last for one minute in a one-on-one taijutsu battle without being defeated, even if you were only a Genin, you would be considered qualified.

To be honest, this standard is not high at all.

After all, the main job of the police department is to maintain the security of the village. Most of the time, they are dealing with ordinary people and don't need to use ninjutsu. Explosive tags and similar devices are generally prohibited. When arresting criminals, they mainly use taijutsu and shuriken techniques to avoid accidentally injuring others.

As for vicious criminals or hidden spies, they were previously handed over to the secret service for handling.

Such an assessment was naturally not difficult for Kabuto Yakushi. Even though the current Kabuto had not studied under Orochimaru, he passed all three rounds of assessments without any difficulty, relying on what he had learned in Root and the abilities he had honed while working as a spy. He was then told to report directly to the police department.

That's right,

The police department's first recruitment process was so crude and simple. Instead of applying first, taking an exam, and then determining the qualified list based on the scores from highest to lowest, anyone who passed the set standard for the assessment would be hired until all the recruitment quotas were filled.

Simply put, it's first come, first served.

In any case, the police department has no shortage of Jonin-level experts, and the Uchiha clan is full of experts; what it lacks is a large number of middle and lower-level personnel.

When Kabuto Yakushi walked out of the recruitment center's main entrance wearing a brand-new police uniform, the recruitment center, which had been deserted for almost two days, immediately transformed into a bustling scene. Even the talkative Uchiha Kiriha was overwhelmed by the swarm of people and had to exert a lot of effort to maintain order.

So far,

The police department's recruitment efforts are on track.

Kabuto, dressed in new clothes, arrived at the police department building. Following the signs at the entrance, he found the recruitment office. The office door was open, and he could see about 80% of the room. It was a fairly large room with six desks, and someone was working behind each desk, or at least they all seemed to be busy.

He reached out and knocked on the open door.

"Excuse me, um..."

"A newcomer? Give me your application form, evaluation records, and offer letter."

The Uchiha clansman who spoke, who was probably in his thirties, was a decisive and efficient person. He got straight to the point without uttering a single unnecessary word.

"This is my application form, assessment record, and offer letter."

Kabuto handed over the documents he had brought, and at the same time noticed the cane leaning against the back of the desk. His gaze shifted, and he realized that there were a total of four canes in the office, and two people were sitting in wheelchairs. He seemed to be deep in thought.

Is this a benevolent policy of the police department? Or is the police department so short-staffed that it has to employ these disabled people to keep it running?

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough information to analyze.

He had no way of knowing what the situation was.

About a minute later, the Uchiha clansman confirmed the authenticity of the document, made a note of it, and then returned the document, stamped with the official seal, to Kabuto Yakushi. "That's fine, Mr. Kabuto Yakushi. Please turn right outside and report to the personnel department next door. They will arrange specific work for you."

Thank you.

"It's my duty."

The pharmacist went out with the documents, looked up at the sign on the door, and realized it really was next door; the two offices were separated by only a wall.

However, the personnel department's office is larger, with as many as ten desks and ten staff members. Like the recruitment department, the staff here are mostly disabled, and all of them have missing parts in their lower limbs.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.

The most important things in office work are your brain and hands; whether you can use your legs is not that important.

"disturb······"

Give me the things.

Ok!

Are all members of the Uchiha clan this efficient and decisive in their work?

Looking at the Uchiha clan members hunched over their desks, writing furiously, I recalled Uchiha Kirigaya and Uchiha Inahi. Although the former was very talkative, he was also very efficient and never procrastinated.

Less than two minutes had passed.

The Uchiha clan member handed over a new form.

"Yakushi Kabuto, this is your job description. Take a look and see if there are any problems! If there are, bring them up now. If not, you can go directly to your department to report for duty, and then you can start your job immediately."

"Job description?"

The pharmacist muttered to himself as he reached out and took the form to read it carefully.

The thin sheet of paper contained a great deal of information, including his department, his direct superior, and his responsibilities. "Second Squad of the Sixth Enforcement Brigade of the Public Security Division... His superior is Uchiha Torajiro. His responsibilities include patrolling, mediating disputes, preventing and stopping criminal activities, etc."

"Um... can I just start working like this? Isn't there any training? This is my first time doing this kind of job, I have absolutely no experience!"

The pharmacist asked a question.

"Your performance review results are excellent, so training isn't really necessary for you. Trust me, this job isn't difficult at all, and your supervisor will provide you with on-site training. Of course, the most important issue is that we're really short-staffed right now. We don't have any extra people or time for training. Haven't you seen how we disabled people have been forced into this job?"

Faced with this extremely frank explanation, Kabuto couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Good guy,

The police department is really that short-staffed!

He shook his head helplessly, holding the job description, and asked, "Can I just go and report for duty like this?"

"Just go directly. After finding your supervisor, show him the job description. You don't need any other certificates. We'll set up your personnel file for you. Salary is paid at the beginning of the month. Oh, and don't forget to have your supervisor take you to collect your weapons and equipment. In short, you don't need to worry about these miscellaneous things. Just do your job well."

Kabuto the Pharmacist left.

With a mix of complex emotions, I left the personnel department office and, following the route map of the police department building that I remembered seeing at the main entrance, successfully found the office of the second squad of the sixth enforcement brigade of the Public Security Bureau.

This is a very small office.

The office contained four tables and a filing cabinet, making the small office quite crowded. However, only two of the four tables were in use, while the other two were empty. At the moment, there was only a little girl of about ten years old in the office.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Uchiha Torajiro not here?"

"Excuse me, the captain hasn't arrived yet. Is there something you need? If you're not in a hurry, you can wait a bit. If all goes well, the captain will be here within twenty minutes. If you're in a rush, I can pass on your message." The energetic girl's voice was loud and clear.

"I'm here to report for duty."

Kabuto Yakushi said somewhat hesitantly,

Looking at the girl in front of him, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

team leader?

So, this girl is going to be my next companion?

His feelings suddenly became even more complicated. Was the police department so short-handed that they had to use even a child this young? What was even more worrying was the high probability that he would be teaming up with this girl in the future…

"Reporting for duty? Oh! Right, the department is recruiting! So you're the new recruit to our team?"

The girl's eyes lit up instantly.

It wasn't the kind of change that comes from a change in spirit, but a real change. His dark pupils turned crimson from excessive excitement, and the single black tomoe swirled within his scarlet eyes.

My eyes have been opened!

Kabuto was taken aback for a moment, realizing that the girl in front of him was a genius of the Uchiha clan. She was indeed a bit young, but such a genius could not be judged by her age.

"If this is the second squad of the sixth enforcement brigade of the Public Security Bureau, then this is probably it."

"That's right, that's right. This is the office of the Second Squad of the Sixth Enforcement Brigade. The captain is Senior Uchiha Torajiro. Um, I'm Uchiha Izumi, and I'm also a member of the squad. It's nice to meet you." Uchiha Izumi, with a sweet smile and a small beauty mark under her left eye, extended her right hand.

"I am Kabuto the Pharmacist."

Kabuto Yakushi reached out and gently shook hands with Izumi Uchiha.

"Yakushi Kabuto? Is it the hem of the armor?"

“That’s right, Kabuto as in helmet, Izumi-senpai.”

"Ah! Uh-um, you don't need to call me senpai. I-I'm just a genin. Kabuto-kun, you can just call me by my name." Being called senpai by Kabuto made Uchiha Izumi feel a little embarrassed, even though she was indeed a senpai in terms of seniority.

However, Chunin and Genin cannot be treated the same; they are two different classes.

Of course, Izumi Uchiha joined the police department much earlier than Kabuto Yakushi, so she couldn't very well call Kabuto "senpai" (senior). Given this complicated situation, it was better to just call him by his name.

"I understand."

Kabuto smiled and indicated that he understood.

Based on this short period of contact, it can be determined that this girl named Uchiha Izumi has a very lively and outgoing personality, which is different from the conventional concept of the Uchiha clan. Getting along with her should not be too troublesome. Judging from the state of the office, this team probably only has him and Uchiha Izumi as members, plus a captain.

What's uncertain now is the temperament of the captain who hasn't shown up yet; hopefully, he won't be the kind of person who's difficult to deal with.

He sat down in the empty seat, waiting for Captain Uchiha Torajiro to arrive.

Seventeen minutes passed.

A tall, thin man in a police uniform, who looked to be only in his early twenties and probably around the same age as Yakushi Kabuto, walked in.

"Huh?"

The man who walked in looked at Kabuto, the pharmacist, sitting in the office with suspicion. "Um... did I go to the wrong place? But that shouldn't be the case! Izumi is here too! Am I seeing things?" The man muttered to himself as he backed out the door to check the information on the doorplate.

"Captain, you've come to the right place. This is Kabuto, a new member of our team. Have you forgotten that the department is currently recruiting new members?"

"Are you Mr. Uchiha Torajiro? I am Yakushi Kabuto, a new recruit in the Second Squad of the Sixth Enforcement Battalion. This is my job description."

"Newbie?"

Uchiha Torajiro scratched his head, looked at the job description handed to him, and after a couple of seconds, he had a look of sudden realization. "Ah! I remember now, it's a new recruit! I thought I came to the wrong place!"

[244. Chapter 243 The Troublesome Disappearance Case]

"The first one to join... Kabuto Yakushi?" Upon hearing this not-so-unfamiliar name, Sogen became a little interested. Meeting Nono Yakushi and Kabuto Yakushi that day was just a coincidence. He had been trying to persuade Kabuto Yakushi without much concern, but he didn't expect to actually succeed.

"Where was this person assigned?"

"The Second Squad of the Sixth Enforcement Brigade of the Public Security Bureau."

Uchiha Arashiyama answered instantly.

"...The Public Security Division, that's right! Right now, the Public Security Division is the one most in need of manpower." Zong Xian nodded, looking knowing. The internal reorganization of the police departments had been completed before the recruitment work began. This matter was difficult in some ways, but not so difficult in others. The key was the determination and power of those in power.

The extent of Zongxian's determination to make changes is evident to everyone in the police department, especially with the early retirement of the Eighth Hokage Uchiha and two other 'veterans' who were still in their prime.

same,

His power within the police department is as firm as a rock and unshakeable.
