Is this the difference between elite Uchiha ninjas and ordinary ninjas? The thimble's authority in his heart increased even more.
At this moment, Thimble stared at him with a serious expression and said earnestly, "I hope I never see something like this again, you know what I mean?"
He didn't let Xuebao apologize to the other party because he knew that such a hypocritical act would only increase the other party's resentment and would be meaningless.
Only by truly addressing the root causes and preventing similar incidents from recurring can we provide genuine and effective support for the Young Chieftain Program.
Chapter 50 The Thimbled Pin's Bizarre Adventure 2
"And you, remember to tell the rest of our team this rule when we get back." He didn't forget Pearl either.
"Understood!"
Looking at Uchiha Shine's serious expression, the two couldn't help but feel a chill. Had their captain changed his ways?
Although Thimble doesn't usually bully ordinary people like they do, he always stands by and does nothing, which makes him an accomplice in a way.
But how could he...?
But they dared not disobey and could only nod in agreement.
"Let's go." Thimble turned and left cleanly and decisively.
Snowstorms and pearls followed closely behind.
Just then, a faint complaint came from behind: "They won't give you money again, how mean."
Thimble paused, turning back with a puzzled look.
Snowstorm mistakenly thought the captain was angry, and immediately turned around to yell at the source of the voice: "You ungrateful wretch, do you think I really can't handle you?"
"Snowstorm, shut up!"
The thimble suddenly shouted a sharp rebuke to stop him.
"Yes, Captain." Snowstorm trembled at Thimble's shout and stood there dumbfounded, not understanding what was going on.
Thimble slowly approached the owner of the voice; his robust physique seemed to exude an invisible pressure.
The girl was so frightened that she trembled all over and dared not look him in the eye.
"What do you mean by not paying?"
Thimble felt that this was the first time in his life he had spoken so softly to ordinary people.
The girl was also shocked by this "gentle" Uchiha. In the past, which Uchiha hadn't been bossing them around? This one was so gentle.
She glanced furtively at her father, then at the thimble.
With gritted teeth, she mustered the courage to tell him the bill that Xue Bao owed her for six months.
She fantasized that perhaps she had met a different kind of Uchiha today, and maybe she would have a chance to get her money back.
After speaking, Dingzhen's expression didn't change much, but he turned his head to look at Xuebao. Those deep, ancient well-like eyes made Xuebao's heart tighten.
"Is what she said true?" Thimble asked.
"Yes, it is."
Without saying much, Thimble turned to the girl and asked, "How much in total?"
A flicker of surprise flashed in both the girl's and her father's eyes. Could it be...?
The girl quickly gave a number.
Thimble nodded, then reached into his pocket, took out his wallet, carefully counted out enough money, and handed it to her.
"The accounts are settled."
The girl took the money with both hands, overjoyed. "Great! My money is finally coming back!"
But her joy didn't last long. Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of a figure in the crowd—a man with a scar on his face.
Upon seeing this striking feature, the girl suddenly stood up, grabbed her father, and pointed at the man: "Dad! He's the one who stole my money that day!"
"What? Where is it?!"
The shop owner was also startled. He immediately grabbed a broom from the side and looked in the direction his daughter was pointing, where he saw the scarred man.
The boss angrily pointed at him and said, "Give me my money back!"
The scarred man was slightly taken aback at first, but when he saw the girl and the boss, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
They turned out to be just two soft persimmons.
He smirked, feigning innocence, and said, "Robbery? You're wronging me. What nonsense!"
"The officials of the Konoha Guard are watching closely, so be careful what you say, or you'll regret it."
When he smiled, the scar on his face seemed to come alive, twisting and writhing, so ferocious that it sent chills down one's spine.
"Young lady, it's not good to talk nonsense. Be careful not to step on a ghost while walking at night."
The girl was terrified by his fierce gaze, her heart pounding: What if he really wants to attack her?
Just then, her gaze inadvertently swept over the thimble that was quietly observing to the side, and a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in her heart.
This officer in the guard unit looks a bit different from the others.
She mustered her courage and called out to the thimble:
"Sir, he stole my money before. Can you be my judge?"
Upon hearing this, Thimble's sharp gaze fell upon the scarred man.
The scarred man noticed Thimble's gaze, but he didn't panic.
He knew that these Uchiha guys were never interested in such trivial matters.
Moreover, now that there's no evidence, they're even less inclined to care.
He was smugly preparing to defend himself when Thimble preemptively asked:
"Do you have evidence that he did this?"
The tone of the anaphora is calm, yet it carries an undeniable power.
The girl's expression darkened. That's right, she had no evidence...
However, the thimble's next words rekindled her hope: "If you are willing to report him by your real name, I can take him back for investigation. But if it is found that you made a false accusation, you will also be severely punished."
"I do! I really do!"
The girl nodded without hesitation.
"That's settled then."
"Go, take him back to the guard post."
Thimble gave orders to Snowstorm and Pearl.
"Yes, Captain."
The two men stepped forward as ordered, and the scarred man panicked upon seeing this.
Take them back to the security headquarters? Once they're interrogated, how can I possibly keep the secret? I absolutely cannot let them succeed!
Without a second thought, he turned and ran.
This scene almost made Xue Bao burst out laughing. Was he racing against a ninja?
The two men leaped lightly, without even using the Instantaneous Movement Technique, and blocked the way in front of the scarred man.
"You like running, right?"
The snowstorm delivered a straight punch, clean and decisive.
The scarred man let out a wail and collapsed to the ground.
Thimble frowned slightly. It seemed his warning had been in vain.
Snowstorm noticed the captain's expression and quickly explained, "Captain, I didn't beat up any civilians. This guy is a criminal, so it doesn't count, right?"
"This will not be repeated. No one should draw any conclusions before the matter is clarified."
Snowstorm escorted the scarred man back to the guard post along with Thimble.
As soon as he was tied up, the scarred man confessed everything like beans spilling from a bamboo tube, saving the trouble of torture...
The girl at the steamed bun shop spread the word about it far and wide.
She felt like she was in a dream, the Uchiha clan, who were usually high and mighty, had become so upright and approachable.
Such transformations have been unfolding one after another in Konoha Village.
People were surprised to find that the Uchiha clan seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.
They not only stopped oppressing ordinary people, but also intensified their efforts to crack down on evil deeds in the village.
Petty thieves are easily caught and taken away; even in cases without solid evidence, as long as someone is willing to report under their real name and come forward to testify, the security department will intervene in the investigation. Of course, those who maliciously frame others will also be severely punished, so few people dare to act recklessly.
In just a few days.
The security situation in Konoha Village has improved significantly.
That day, Uchiha Thimble was patrolling the streets again with Uchiha Snow Leopard and Uchiha Pearl.
He suddenly realized that the villagers, whom he used to avoid at all costs, were gradually no longer afraid of them, and some even greeted him with smiles from time to time.
The thimble could sense that the villagers' gazes towards them held less fear and more respect and affection.
"Is this the goal the young clan leader wanted to achieve...?"
"Although it's just the beginning, the atmosphere is definitely much better than before."
Chapter 51 Ape, You Regret It, My Shadow
------Year 58 of Konoha------
In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi was enjoying a moment of peace, occasionally taking a puff from his old pipe with a satisfied expression.
But this rare moment of peace was quickly shattered by a sudden burst of noise.
A figure, too lazy to even announce their arrival, simply pushed open the door and barged in, as if the core area of Konoha had become a bustling marketplace, freely coming and going.
