Naruto: Konoha Spring of the Uchiha Prodigies

Chapter 114 The Empty Rat Emerges from Its Hole Again!

"So that's what you were thinking. But unfortunately, you won't live to see that day." A third voice suddenly rang out in the secret chamber where the two were plotting.

"Who goes there?" Yuta Utatane and Isao Mito simultaneously turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.

Kakashi walked in through the door of the secret room with a cold face.

"Kakashi?" Upon seeing this, the two realized that their plan had been exposed and immediately drew their kunai in an attempt to resist.

However, Kakashi's left eye flashed red, and the two men's left arms, which were holding kunai, were snapped in half by the distorted space. The two men screamed in agony, clutching their bleeding limbs, and the kunai fell to the ground with a clatter.

"I'm warning you, don't be naughty," Kakashi said with a cold smile. "Confess your crimes honestly, and you might have a way out."

After Kakashi finished speaking, the Anbu members waiting outside began to act, capturing everyone in the two clans' territories. Those who resisted were killed on the spot.

"Take them away!" Kakashi waved his hand and led his team to escort the captured ninjas to the police station.

After receiving news that Kakashi had captured the mastermind behind the riot, Uchiha Touko sat up from his office chair, went to the window, looked down at the situation, and asked, "Inahi, how are the security team's preparations going?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Inahime summoned her ninja cat, glanced at the message it transmitted, and then said, "The security team is ready and can be deployed at any time."

"Let the Anbu go out and explain the situation to the villagers first. This is a dispute stirred up by other ninja villages. Tell them not to be fooled. If they leave now, I can pretend nothing happened," Uchiha Touko said.

Soon, the secret agents, having received their orders, arrived before the gathered villagers.

"The Fifth Hokage has already investigated and found out that this whole thing was instigated by the foreign ninja villages. Now disperse, and the Hokage can pretend nothing happened." A member of the Anbu came to the cordon and said coldly to the villagers holding up signs.

"Do you think we'd believe that?" The man at the front, with a white ribbon tied around his forehead that read "Holy Shadow Punishes Traitors," immediately roared after hearing the ANBU's words, "Uchiha Touko, a guy who seized power through a coup, what right does he have to be Hokage! Only the Third Hokage can lead us! Uchiha Touko! Step down!"

"So, you're planning to go all the way down this wrong path?" The ANBU member's eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke coldly, memorizing the faces of several of the leaders. He also noticed that their hands were covered in calluses and scars, clearly from practicing shuriken. In other words, most of these leaders were ninjas.

"Hmph! What, does Uchiha Touko intend to send the security force to beat us all up again?" the leader said defiantly. After he finished speaking, he turned around and waved his arm, "Everyone, don't be afraid! We must let the Third Hokage see that we all support him. Only the Third Hokage can lead us to victory!"

"Uchiha Touko! Step down!"

"Uchiha Touko! Step down!"

Provoked by him, the villagers behind him also shouted loudly after their emotions rose.

Soon, someone looked up and saw Uchiha Touko watching from the window. An egg flew towards the Hokage Building and shattered on the glass in front of Uchiha Touko. The yolk and egg white mixed together and slowly flowed down the glass. Uchiha Touko's face turned gloomy.

"Lord Hokage, please calm down. The Security Department will be here soon," Uchiha Inahisa quickly said upon seeing the situation.

"Angry?" Uchiha Touko sneered. "I'm not angry at all."

"What, aren't these villagers even afraid of the Anbu?" Uchiha Touko returned to his desk and said coldly.

The huge Hokage's office fell silent instantly; no one dared to speak at that moment.

“They’re not even afraid of the Anbu. These aren’t ordinary villagers,” Uchiha Touko said with a dark face. “They’re thugs! Thugs!”

"If we just admit defeat like this, the village's ninjas will lose all face. We can't hesitate any longer; we have to deliver the final blow!" Uchiha Touko slammed his fist on the table. "Inahime!"

“Here!” Uchiha Inahime stepped forward and said.

"Hurry up with the security forces!" Uchiha Touko said.

"Yes!"

……

On the other side, the police force was already in a state of high spirits. After learning that their beloved Fifth Hokage had been surrounded by a group of unruly villagers at the Hokage Building, every member of the police force wished they could rush to the scene right now and use their batons to teach these villagers what true loyalty was.

However, since the Hokage had not yet given the order, they could only wait in place.

Soon after receiving the reply from the ninja cat, Shikai Aburame, the vice-captain of the security force, emerged from his office with a grim expression and issued the order: "All personnel, at your command! Target: Hokage Building! Security Force! Move out!"

The next moment, without him saying anything more, all the members picked up their batons and filed out of the guard post.

Soon, nearly a thousand members of the security force arrived at the Hokage Building.

Upon seeing the police force approaching menacingly with batons, the protesting crowd immediately erupted into chaos.

But soon, the group of ninjas from the Utatane clan disguised as civilians stepped forward and shouted, "Don't be afraid, everyone! There are so many of us, I don't believe they would dare to make a move!"

However, when the ninjas from the security team arrived, before they could even form a proper formation, the first few who arrived rushed forward with their batons.

"You're all ninjas from commoner backgrounds, aren't you? Are you going to become accomplices of Uchiha Tokō?" a villager who had been making quite a fuss earlier asked, standing on two handcarts he'd somehow acquired and waving flags.

However, Sakurai Hideaki, who was at the forefront, was enraged when he saw the banner in the other party's hand that read "Murderer Uchiha Touko, get down from the stage!" He immediately shouted, "How can someone who doesn't know the Fifth Hokage's kindness be worthy of being a villager of Konoha? Get down here!"

After saying that, Hideaki Sakurai accelerated and leaped into the air, kicking the other person off the handcart before striking the other person's leg hard with a stick.

After the last suppression of the riots, the police force has also developed a set of experiences in dealing with such troublemakers who gather in large numbers to cause disturbances.

The first blow is to the leg to prevent the opponent from escaping; the second blow is to the mouth to prevent the opponent from begging for mercy; the third blow is to the hand to prevent the opponent from resisting; as for the remaining blows, they are all for loyalty to the Fifth Hokage!

In less than half a second, Hideaki Sakurai rendered the arrogant thug incapable of resisting with three strikes, then delivered a smooth combo of six strikes per second before moving on to another thug nearby.

After the security department took action, the private soldiers of the two ninja clans hidden in the crowd immediately began to form hand seals, attempting to resist with ninjutsu.

However, before they could finish their hand seals, they were spotted by the well-prepared elites of the Anbu and the security forces. Various ninjutsu techniques were unleashed, precisely targeting and killing the Utatane clan ninja who had been causing the most trouble earlier. He was directly blasted into pieces by a Great Fireball Technique.

"Murder! The police are killing people!" The fact that someone died directly from ninjutsu naturally had a huge impact on the minds of these troublemakers. They were arrogant and domineering before, but now they were all scared out of their wits and scattered like birds and beasts.

Seeing this, Watanabe Masashi, who had just been promoted to squad leader, yelled at the newest members who had recently joined the group: "What are you all doing! Hurry up! Have you forgotten what we were taught in training? Swing your baton with power! Lift your foot with accuracy! Raise your hand with height! Only then can the Fifth Hokage see our attitude!"

"How can you be so slow? Do you think you're doing right by the Fifth Hokage?" At this moment, Fujiwara Yoki, who had undergone a complete transformation after being trained by Uchiha Kaito, shouted after knocking down a thug, "Hurry up! Let the Fifth Hokage see our loyalty!"

"Loyalty! Honesty!" Encouraged by the others, the newly joined security team members wielded their batons with great force and quickened their pace in pursuit of the thugs.

A unique chase race, where there are no rewards for running fast and penalties for running slow, officially begins at the Hokage Building.

Soon, only a few people remained in front of the Hokage Building. The thugs who were first knocked down were tied up and dragged back to the security team.

At this time, Kakashi, having dealt with the remnants of the Mitomon clan and the Utatane, returned to the Hokage Building to report.

"So, did you get anything out of them?" Uchiha Touko asked.

"Hmm." Kakashi nodded. "After being interrogated, Yuta Utatane and Isao Mito admitted that they were helped by spies from Iwagakure to instigate the villagers."

"Damn it, that old bastard Onoki, I haven't even thought about causing him any trouble, and he dares to come knocking on my door first." Uchiha Touko said through gritted teeth. He had wondered where these two clans would have the guts and resources to incite so many troublemakers after Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were arrested and their clan assets were almost completely divided and confiscated. It turned out that it was that old bastard Onoki who was behind it all.

"You old fool, just you wait. You want to play these tricks on me? Let's see who comes out on top," Uchiha Touko said viciously.

Uchiha Touko took a deep breath and looked at Kakashi: "Have the members of those two clans been dealt with?"

Kakashi nodded. "Since they've already colluded with Iwagakure, there's nothing more to say. All the ninjas were killed on the spot, and the old and young were imprisoned in the garrison to await the village's judgment."

"Well done! We must show no mercy to rogue ninjas who eat the village's food and dare to collude with other ninja villages." Uchiha Touko nodded.

"But, Douguang, what should we do with these thugs?" Kakashi asked. "Although these thugs were instigated, this is not the first time they have done this. If just any person with ulterior motives can incite them, it will cause great trouble to the village's order."

“I already have plans for this,” Uchiha Touko said.

“I plan to set up a special department in the village to properly educate these thugs, both physically and mentally. As for the name, let’s call it the Sanqing Education Team,” Uchiha Touko said. “Kakashi, get me a copy of Guy’s daily training plan.”

"I understand." Kakashi nodded. Although he didn't know what Uchiha Touko wanted Guy's training plan for, Kakashi knew that Uchiha Touko must have his reasons.

At that moment, a medical ninja on duty inside the Hokage Building came to report.

"Lord Hokage, Elder Hyuga has woken up."

"Is that so?" Uchiha Touko frowned, then said to Kakashi, "I'll have to trouble you to make a trip. Take this old man and rescue the Hiashi clan leader who was imprisoned due to the clan coup. Also, tell the other old fogies in the Hyuga clan that Iwagakure instigated this incident. If they dare to continue to be stubborn, they will be treated as rogue ninja."

"Yes," Kakashi nodded.

……

Because there were so many people involved in the riot, and many of them went straight home after fleeing, even with the entire police force mobilized and working until midnight, they only managed to capture about half of the rioters.

However, the orders from above were that no one involved in the attack on the Hokage Building should be let go. Therefore, the members of the security team spontaneously divided into two shifts: one shift searched the village overnight, while the other shift went back to rest temporarily.

Masashi Watanabe was one of those assigned to the class that was allowed to go home and rest.

After arresting more than ten rioters today, Masashi Watanabe was exhausted. He returned home looking tired and planned to rest for a night before continuing his work the next day.

"Brother! You're back!" As soon as he got home, Watanabe Masashi's sister ran out to warmly welcome her brother home.

"Yako, your brother is very tired today, so I won't play with you anymore." Watanabe Masashi smiled and picked up his little sister and put her back on the ground.

"Zhengzhi, you're back." At that moment, an elderly woman who looked somewhat sickly came out of the house.

"Mom, you didn't go out today, did you?" Masashi Watanabe asked.

"No, your sister and I didn't go out today. We even postponed our appointment with the doctor. However, your squad leader did come to our house today. He brought me some medicine and some snacks for Mei," said Masashi Watanabe's mother.

"Captain?" Watanabe Masashi was taken aback when he heard this. He quickly changed his shoes and went into his room.

However, upon returning to his room, the first thing he saw was a red envelope lying next to his pillow, thicker than his pillow itself.

Seeing this, Watanabe Masashi slapped himself twice hard, said nothing, picked up his baton, and walked out of the house again.

Chapter 115 Handle with care, dismantle the caged bird

With almost all members of the garrison mobilized, not a single rioter escaped, and the garrison's prisons were quickly filled to capacity.

Meanwhile, Kakashi also successfully helped Hiashi Hyuga suppress the internal rebellion.

After finishing his clan affairs, Hyuga Hiashi arrived at the Hokage Building late at night.

Before entering the Hokage's office, Hiashi Hyuga was still quite uneasy. Although he had sent his children to the Uchiha clan and sent word to the elders after realizing that something was wrong with the clan elders, in the end, it was the Uchiha Tokō faction that cleaned up his mess. Therefore, it was impossible for the Hyuga clan to avoid paying a price for this matter.

When Hyuga Hiashi entered the Hokage's office, Uchiha Touko was leisurely maintaining his ninja sword.

Hearing Hiashi Hyuga enter, Touya Uchiha didn't even look up, focusing instead on applying oil to his lightning bolt at his desk.

Seeing this, Hyuga Hiashi felt a pang of anxiety, but for now he could only lower his head and wait for Uchiha Touko to speak first.

After finishing maintaining his ninja sword, Uchiha Touko sheathed it, stood up, and placed it back on the sword rack in his office before returning to his seat and looking at Hyuga Hiashi.

"It's so late, what brings the Hyuga clan head to my Hokage office?"

"Fifth Hokage, I have failed in my duty to manage my subordinates, resulting in several traitors within the clan. Therefore, I have come to apologize," said Hiashi Hyuga after bowing deeply.

"Is that so? Then, how did the Hyuga clan leader deal with those traitors?" Uchiha Touko asked.

"I have sealed the chakra of the leaders and handed them over to the security force. I await the Hokage's decision," said Hiashi Hyuga.

Uchiha Touko gave Hyuga Hiashi a deep look, and after a long while, a smile appeared on his face. Although Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Fugaku could be considered strong people of the same generation in the village, when it came to being the head of a clan, Hyuga Hiashi was much better than Uchiha Fugaku. At least, he was able to make timely decisions in this situation.

Honestly, if Fugaku Uchiha had made a decision earlier like him, whether it was by recruiting soldiers, stockpiling supplies, and attacking the village, or by dealing with those radicals and yielding to Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Uchiha clan wouldn't be in the predicament they are in now.

"So, Hyuga and Hikaru's involvement this time is just their own ambition?" Uchiha Touko asked, looking at Hyuga Hiashi.

"But they are, after all, the main family elders of the Hyuga clan..."
