Naruto: Konoha Spring of the Uchiha Prodigies

"Garrison! Release him!"

"Garrison! Release him!"

"The security department that colluded with the serial killer! Die!"

As the standoff continued, the villagers' slogans became increasingly unrestrained, and a few of the bolder ones even looked at the cordon set up by the garrison and were eager to try their luck.

However, at that moment, nearly a hundred members of the garrison, dressed in garrison uniforms, wearing headbands, and carrying batons, filed out of the garrison building.

Seeing the guards who clearly had ill intentions, the villagers who had gathered together panicked. But then, a few private ninja soldiers from the Utatane and Mitomon clans mixed in with the crowd suddenly shouted, "Don't be afraid! We are all civilians! I don't believe these ninjas would dare to make a move!"

However, the only response he received was Uchiha Tessou's dark-faced hand waving lightly, "Security Department! Move out!"

As soon as Uchiha Tetsuyu finished speaking, the security team members behind him rushed forward, charging towards the gathered villagers while also handing batons to their comrades who had been guarding the cordon.

The villagers at the front of the line wanted to say something, but before they could speak, a police baton came crashing down from the sky.

At the forefront was Masashi Watanabe, a genin who had just graduated two years prior. Since his father died on the battlefield of the Third Shinobi World War, he and his sister had been relying on their mother to make a living by doing odd jobs in the village. Just when he was finally able to graduate and earn money, his mother fell ill due to years of overwork, and he had no choice but to shoulder the burden of the family.

But how much can a genin who spends his days searching for cats and dogs and scavenging for trash earn? What's more, a portion of his meager income has to be handed over to the ninja in charge of the team, plus household expenses and his mother's medical bills. He doesn't even have the qualifications to save money to exchange for ninjutsu and try to advance to chunin!

But what happened after he joined the police force? His monthly income not only allowed his mother to receive treatment at the village hospital, but also enabled him to buy his sister several new clothes that she hadn't worn in years. More importantly, he learned the C-rank ninjutsu he had always dreamed of. Because his chakra nature was fire, his captain from the Uchiha clan would often guide his training. It was the police force and Vice Captain Doo-hwan who gave him the life he has today.

But now, these unruly civilians actually dare to besiege the garrison headquarters! They are showing disrespect to his beloved Deputy Captain Dou Huan!

Thinking of this, Watanabe gripped the baton tightly and increased the speed of his swing; the baton was almost a blur in his hand.

[Vice-Captain Doo-hwan has the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan. No matter how fast I wave it, he can still see my loyalty, right?]

The same scene played out repeatedly in front of the security department. Those who were standing at the front of the rioting group were caught and given a set of bone-setting treatment by the security department.

The people behind finally realized that the police department was serious and scattered like birds, trying to escape. However, the members of the police department were at least genin who had graduated from the ninja academy, and with the training they had received recently, these villagers were no match for them. Those who were a little slower were kicked to the ground on the spot, followed by the police batons being wielded with great force. In no time, these troublemakers who had just been swaggering and claiming that they would make the police department pay the price were bleeding from their heads.

Chapter 56 Konoha Unlimited Fighting Championship Pre-Season

"Sir! Stop hitting them! Stop hitting them!" The first few men to be knocked to the ground cried out as they covered their heads and tried to dodge the batons, "We're just civilians who were called here! This has nothing to do with me!"

"Now you realize you're a civilian?" Uchiha Inahashi, who was unleashing six strikes in one second, glared with her Sharingan eyes. "Too late! You even dared to storm the Security Department! Are you planning to storm the Hokage Building tomorrow?"

Soon, the fleeing villagers rushed into the streets and alleys of Konoha, pursued relentlessly by members of the security force wielding batons.

Several villagers passing by, unaware of what was happening, were sternly reprimanded by the garrison and driven back into their homes: "What are you looking at? Martial law is in effect in the village tonight! Don't go out! Otherwise, you'll all be treated as rioters!"

After saying that, the guard jumped onto the wall on both sides of the road, accelerated, and then fell from the sky, kicking down a fleeing protesting villager. His baton started to swing involuntarily.

This scene terrified the villagers who were not involved in the incident. They all fled back to their homes, closing their doors and windows tightly. In no time, the streets of Konoha were filled only with the fleeing troublemakers and the pursuing police officers.

At that moment, three ANBU members who were on a mission in the village witnessed this scene. One of them asked, "Jonin Nagai, should we stop them?"

"Stop what? Didn't the security department see what was going on?" Nagai Seiichi glared at the two special Jonin who were on the mission with him. "We can just go back and report to the Hokage. Don't cause trouble for yourselves."

Although the number of security personnel who were mobilized was several times less than that of the rioting villagers, they were all well-trained and carried out their tasks in an orderly manner. After arresting a few people, they first gave them a set of bone-setting treatments, and then one or two people dragged the thugs who had been beaten to a pulp back to the security headquarters.

Screams and screams echoed throughout the streets and alleys of Konoha Village.

Hideaki Sakurai and a teammate named Yoki Fujiwara chase a fleeing scoundrel through the alleys of Konoha.

This person was clearly not an ordinary villager. After all, an ordinary villager would not have been able to run for so long while being chased by two ninjas.

The four people being chased ran into a corner, and the two of them followed without thinking. However, once inside, they discovered that there were several other people hiding in the alley. Furthermore, the person who had been chased initially picked up a wooden chair at the corner, slammed it heavily against the wall, and distributed the broken wooden sticks to the others.

With their superior numbers and the weapons at their disposal, the few who had been hiding became much bolder. One of them stepped forward and accused Sakurai Hideaki and Fujiwara Yoki, saying, "Ninjas should protect the village. How can you lay a hand on the villagers?"

"How dare you call yourselves villagers when you act so recklessly and disregard the Will of Fire?" Hideaki Sakurai roared.

"Brother Xiuming, what should we do? They outnumber us." Fujiwara Yoki hesitated. He was just a recent graduate from the Ninja Academy and hadn't yet learned the ninjutsu that the Security Department had issued last time. He was one of the weakest fighters in the Security Department. Now that the other side had a lot of people, he was a little nervous.

"What are you afraid of!" Hideaki Sakurai sneered, taking off his headband. "Have you forgotten what Vice Captain Doo-hwan said just now? Don't embarrass the Security Department!"

Hideaki Sakurai took a deep breath, picked up his baton, and strode forward.

Seeing this, Fujiwara Yoki gritted his teeth and followed.

A group of people instantly clashed. Sakurai Hideaki was alright. He was one of the better students from the commoner class when he was in the Ninja Academy. After joining the Security Department, he received guidance from Uchiha Zaito. After learning the ninjutsu issued by the Security Department, he also learned a Uchiha-style sword technique. So, although he was fighting four against one, he was not at a disadvantage.

However, as a bottom-of-the-class student who had just graduated from the Ninja Academy, Fujiwara Yoki lacked practical experience and could only rely on his chakra-enhanced body to withstand the attacks of these thugs.

However, even when he was temporarily at a disadvantage, Fujiwara Yoki did not forget to swing his baton fiercely.

Suddenly, one of the thugs who was being suppressed by Hideaki Sakurai pulled out several shuriken and shot them at the two of them.

Hideaki Sakurai narrowly avoided the attack, but Yoki Fujiwara was caught off guard and could only barely dodge the fatal blow. The flying shuriken instantly sliced ​​open his thigh, and blood flowed freely.

"You're a ninja?" Sakurai Hideaki was furious upon seeing this and took out a shuriken from his ninja tool bag to retaliate.

However, after removing his disguise, the private ninja of the Utatane family decided not to continue the act and immediately began forming hand seals.

"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!" The ninja unleashed a fireball, aimed directly at the injured Fujiwara Yoki.

Seeing this, Hideaki Sakurai could only rush back to help, but the two had spread out a bit during their previous battle, and Sakurai's rescue was clearly too late. In desperation, he could only shout, "Get out of the way!"

Fujiwara Yoki wanted to hide, but his injured thigh made it difficult for him to move.

Just as Fujiwara Yoki was about to die on the spot, a figure blocked his way, slashing diagonally with his ninja sword and scattering the opponent's ninjutsu.

"Team Leader Zaito!" Sakurai Hideaki and Fujiwara Yoki exclaimed in surprise. The person who had arrived was none other than Uchiha Zaito.

"You're really useless. After this mission is over and your injuries heal, just wait for the hellish training!" Uchiha Zaito turned around and looked coldly at Fujiwara Yoki, then snorted and said.

"As for you," Uchiha Zaito stared at the private ninja of the Utatane clan, "you dared to kill even a member of the Security Department, are you tired of living?"

Since the opponent had already used shuriken and ninjutsu, Uchiha Zaito no longer needed to hold back. He drew his ninja sword and charged forward. This private ninja of the Utatane clan was at most a Chunin level, no match for Uchiha Zaito. He was captured in less than three moves, and the villagers who had been there earlier had vanished the moment he used his ninjutsu.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and chase after them!" Uchiha Zaito shouted at Sakurai Hideaki in an annoyed tone. Sakurai Hideaki nodded quickly and gave chase.

The order to declare martial law in the village tonight quickly spread throughout Konoha. However, Konoha has never lacked troublemakers who don't know what's important. A few people with a saintly heart opened their doors when they saw the rioters being chased by the police, allowing these rioters to hide in their homes.

However, the guards, who were already bloodthirsty, didn't care about anything else and barged into the other party's home, pouring their loyalty into the man as well.

Chapter 57 The Dark Side's Reaction

After the three blows, the villagers who had sheltered the escaped thugs immediately regretted the decision they had made just minutes earlier.

"Sir! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I have nothing to do with this!"

"You have nothing to do with this? Then why are these thugs in your house?" Without a word, a member of the security force struck the man on the waist with a baton. "I think you're one of their accomplices! Take him away!"

When the chaos broke out, Naruto was buying ramen at Ichiraku Ramen and also bringing some home for Kakashi. But as soon as he stepped out with the takeout box, he saw the no-holds-barred fighting tournament.

"What... what happened?" Naruto was completely dumbfounded by the scene before him.

Although he saw that the person in front of him who had been knocked to the ground and given a bone-setting massage with six blows in one second seemed to be the habitual offender who used to scold him, his kind heart still made him want to stand up and say a few words for the other person.

But before he could even speak, his collar was grabbed.

He turned around and saw a Uchiha captain staring at him with blood-red Sharingan eyes.

"Where did this child come from? Didn't you hear about the martial law being declared in the village?"

Uchiha Tayura's actions immediately put the Anbu responsible for protecting Naruto on high alert, and they quickly appeared.

Before the newly emerged Anbu could speak, Uchiha Tahana tossed Naruto to them and said, "You've come at the perfect time. Quickly take this kid back and don't let him wander around outside!"

"Understood." The masked ANBU member nodded and took Naruto from Uchiha Tayame's hands. After all, he was a Jinchuriki, and they were quite frightened when he attacked earlier.

While the unrestricted fighting tournament in the village was in full swing, Uchiha Touhuan, Uchiha Fugaku, and Aburame Shikai, the captain of the Sixth Battalion who was ordered to stay behind at the security headquarters, were leisurely brewing tea in Uchiha Fugaku's office.

"Dou-huan, aren't you going to go out and take a look?" Fugaku asked, puzzled. Dou-huan had just given the order and then dragged him here for tea.

"I can't go out yet," Uchiha Touhuan said with a smile. "Otherwise, the Third Hokage will really get restless."

"Come, come, have some tea!" Uchiha Touhuan served tea to the two of them one by one.

"I've often heard that Chief Uchiha Touhuan is highly skilled in tea ceremony at the Security Department. I never thought I'd have the chance to try it today." Aburame Shikai smiled as she accepted the tea offered by Uchiha Touhuan.

Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi, inside the Hokage's office, also learned of the chaos on the street.

"Hiruzen, you saw that!" Koharu Utatane, who had come to the Hokage's office to complain, immediately stepped forward after hearing the Anbu's report and said to Hiruzen Sarutobi, "The Uchiha clan actually attacked the villagers! This is clearly a rebellion! Hiruzen, you can't hesitate any longer!"

Listening to his old partner's incessant chatter, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a bit annoyed. He waved wearily at his partner before asking the new head of the Anbu, "Where is Uchiha Touhuan now?"

"Lord Hokage, Uchiha Touhuan is still in the Security Department and has not taken any action."

"Is that so?" Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. "That's good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Touhuan Uchiha did not intend to rebel directly. Otherwise, with almost the entire Security Department mobilized, Touhuan Uchiha, the strongest member of the Uchiha clan, would not have remained inactive.

"Jia Er, go and invite Uchiha Touhuan, the clan head, to the Hokage Building," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a sigh to the newly appointed captain of the Anbu after Kakashi's retirement.

"Understood." Jia Er nodded, accepted the order, and left.

"Hiruzen, we really can't hesitate any longer! Isn't the Uchiha clan's rebellion obvious enough?" Mitokado Homura said at this moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored the two of them and simply lit his pipe.

"Hiruzen! You'll regret this!" Mitokado Homura stamped his foot in frustration, but Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even utter a single word like "I am the Hokage."

These two old bastards only know how to talk nonsense on the sidelines, but they actually dared to do such a big thing behind his back. You know, even Danzo would use his methods to inform him before doing such things, but these two did it without saying a word. When Hiruzen Sarutobi heard the rumors about Kakashi in the village, he wished he could just draw his sword and kill these two idiots.

The Third Hokage originally planned to give Naruto's upbringing to Kakashi in order to win Kakashi's heart, but what difference is there between these two idiots' actions and directly pushing Kakashi to the Uchiha clan?

What left the Third Hokage speechless was that these two idiots not only did the job, but they did it so sloppily. Now the Security Department was using this as an excuse to make trouble, and as the Hokage, he didn't even have the legal standing to stop them.

After several encounters, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that Uchiha Touhuan was different from the previous Uchiha clan leaders; he was not the kind of fool who could be easily fooled.

After a long while, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and said, "Let the Anbu move out and try to control the situation. Then, let the leaders of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans lead the Jonin squads to provide support."

"Understood." Inside the office, another ANBU member accepted the order and left the Hokage's office.

Soon, the ANBU member in charge of relaying the order arrived at the ANBU base, gathered all the ANBU members who remained at the base, and took to the streets.

Before the secret agents could even disperse after stepping onto the street, they saw a member of the security department chasing after three thugs, brandishing a baton.

"What are you doing?" An ANBU ninja stepped forward and slightly stopped the Uchiha from performing bone-setting.

Upon seeing this, the fleeing civilians quickly scrambled to hide behind the assassin.

"The Security Department is on a mission to investigate thugs who spread rumors in the village, slander Konoha hero Kakashi Hatake, and violently resist law enforcement. Does your Anbu intend to protect these thugs?" The person who was stopped was only a Genin, but he was not afraid of this Anbu member whose strength was at least Special Jonin, and questioned him directly.

"I see, I misunderstood." After hearing this, the ANBU member nodded, then stepped aside before saying, "Remember, don't cause any deaths."

Then, to the disbelief of the villagers being chased, the member of the secret service simply scaled the wall and left.

This situation has played out several times in the village. After receiving the mission, most of the secret agents would go out and ask around to find out the purpose of the garrison. At most, they would just stand by and watch, and at most remind the garrison not to go too far and cause any deaths.
