The girl was also shocked by this "gentle" Uchiha. In the past, every Uchiha would order them around. How could he speak so gently?

She glanced furtively at her father and then at the thimble.

She gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to tell Xue Bao about the bill that was overdue for half a year.

She fantasized that maybe she would meet a different Uchiha today, and would she have a chance to get the money back?

After saying this, Dingzhen's expression did not change much. He just turned his head to look at Xuebao. His eyes, as deep as an ancient well, made Xuebao feel nervous.

"Is she telling the truth?" asked Thimble.

“Yes… yes.”

Thimble didn't say anything more, but turned to the girl and asked, "How much is the total?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the girl and her father at the same time. Could it be...

The girl hurriedly reported a number

Dingzhen nodded, then reached into his pocket, took out his wallet, carefully counted out enough money and handed it to her.

“The account is settled”

"Thank you"

The girl took the money with both hands and was overjoyed. It was great that the money was finally returned.

But the joy didn't last long. She suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure in the crowd. It was a man with a scar on his face.

Seeing this striking feature, the girl stood up suddenly, grabbed her father and pointed at the man: "Dad! He was the one who robbed me of my money that day!"

"What? Where is it?!"

The boss was also startled, and immediately picked up a broom beside him and looked in the direction his daughter pointed, and saw the scarred man.

The boss pointed at him angrily and said, "Give me back my money!"

The scarred man was slightly startled at first, but when he saw the girl and the boss, he immediately felt relieved.

It turns out they are just two persimmons

He raised the corner of his mouth and pretended to be innocent: "Robbery? You are wrongly accusing me of that. What does that have to do with anything?"

"The Konoha Guard is watching us, be careful what you say or you'll end up in trouble."

When he smiled, the scar on his face seemed to come alive, twisting and wriggling, so hideous that it made people feel creepy.

"Little girl, it's not good to talk nonsense. Be careful not to step on ghosts when walking at night."

The girl was frightened by his ferocious look, and her heart was beating fast: Is he really going to attack me?

At this moment, her eyes inadvertently swept across the quietly observing Dingzhen, and a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in her heart.

This guard looks different from the others.

She summoned her courage and called out to Thimble:

"Sir, he robbed me of my money before. Can you give me some advice?"

Upon hearing this, Dingzhen cast a sharp gaze towards the scarred man.

The scarred man noticed Dingzhen's gaze, but he was not panicked.

He knew that these Uchiha guys were never interested in these trivial matters.

What's more, now that there is no evidence, they are even more lazy to care.

He was feeling very proud and was about to open his mouth to explain, but Dingzhen asked first:

"Do you have evidence that he did this?"

The tone of the thimble is plain, but it carries a power that cannot be ignored.

The girl's expression dimmed. Yes, she had no evidence.

However, Ding Zhen's next words gave her hope: "If you are willing to report it with your real name, I can take him back for investigation, but if it is found that you are making a false accusation, you will be severely punished."

"I do! I really do!"

The girl nodded without hesitation

"That's it."

"Go, take him back to the security department."

Thimble Commands Snowstorm and Pearl

"Yes, Captain"

The two men followed the order and stepped forward. Seeing this, the scarred man panicked.

Take him back to the security department? Once he is interrogated, how can I keep the secret? I can't let them succeed!

Without a second thought, he turned and ran

This scene almost made Snowstorm laugh out loud. Racing with ninjas?

The two of them jumped lightly, without even using the teleportation technique, and blocked the scarred man.

"You like running, right?"

Snowstorm's straight punch was clean and neat.

The scarred man wailed and fell to the ground.

Dingzhen frowned slightly. It seemed that his warning just now was in vain?

Snowstorm noticed the captain's expression and quickly explained: "Captain, I didn't beat up a civilian. This guy is a criminal, so it doesn't count."

"This will not happen again. No one can jump to conclusions before the matter is clarified."

"take away"

Snowstorm took the scarred man back to the security department with the thimble.

As soon as he was tied up, the scarred man confessed everything, without even needing to be tortured.

The girl from the bun shop spread the news widely.

She felt like she was in a dream. The usually high-handed Uchiha clan had become so upright and approachable.

This kind of transformation is happening one after another in Konoha Village.

People were surprised to find that the Uchiha clan seemed to have been reborn.

Not only did they stop oppressing civilians, they also stepped up efforts to combat evil in the village.

If they encounter petty thieves, they will be taken away; even if there is no solid evidence, as long as someone is willing to report it with their real name and come forward to testify, the Security Department will intervene in the investigation. Of course, malicious accusers will also be severely punished, so few people dare to do it.

Just a few days

The security situation in Konoha Village has improved significantly.

On this day, Uchiha Dingzhen once again patrolled the streets with Uchiha Xuebao and Uchiha Zhenzhu.

He suddenly realized that the villagers who usually avoided him gradually stopped being afraid of them, and sometimes even smiled and greeted him.

Dingzhen could feel that the villagers looked at them with less fear and more respect and intimacy.

“Is this what the young patriarch wants to achieve?

“Although it’s just the beginning, the atmosphere is indeed much better than before.”

Chapter 51: You regret it, I will shadow you

------Konoha 58th Year------

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen was enjoying a moment of peace, occasionally taking a puff from his old pipe, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

But this rare leisure was quickly broken by a sudden noise.

A figure, not even bothering to report, just pushed open the door and barged in, coming and going as if the core of Konoha had become a busy city.

Hiruzen's brows knitted into a knot, and even when he saw that the person coming was Danzo, his expression did not improve.

"Danzo, where have your rules gone?" Hiruzen asked calmly, his tone full of displeasure.

Danzo seemed to be deaf to Hiruzen's dissatisfaction. He strode up to him and looked him straight in the eye:

"Hiruzen, have you noticed the Uchiha clan's recent movements?"

A hint of helplessness flashed across Sarutobi Hiruzen's face, but considering their long-term friendship, he did not get angry.

“I know it.”

As the Hokage, how could he not know about the Uchiha family's almost complete transformation? Shouldn't all this be a positive sign?

Danzo said gloomily: "With the usual style of the Uchiha, how could they do this for no reason? They must be hiding some unspeakable secrets behind them."

"Hiruzen, we must take action!" Danzo seemed impatient.

He accidentally discovered that the combination of the power of Senju and Uchiha could open the door to everything in the world - the legendary Rinnegan!

Although he lost the Samsara Eye in the Land of Rain, he witnessed the shocking scene of Nagato using its power. Even the demigod of the ninja world, Hanzo, was no match for him.

This made him covet it even more.

Now, the research on Hashirama's cells has made progress under his secret cooperation with Orochimaru, but he lacks a large number of Sharingan for experiments.

In peacetime, no one from the Uchiha clan sacrificed themselves, so naturally there was no way to obtain the Sharingan. There seemed to be a rift within the Uchiha clan, which made Danzo feel that his plan was about to come to fruition.

However, the sudden change in the Uchiha family gradually improved their reputation in the village and calmed down the internal turmoil, which greatly surprised Danzo.

What exactly caused such a huge change in the Uchiha family? Was it due to the guidance of an expert, or was there another mystery?

Regardless, the Uchiha's transformation would not change his plans, no matter how good they became.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen was not someone who could be easily fooled. He stared at Danzo and said, "Danzo, what exactly do you want to do? Konoha cannot afford any conflict right now."

"You had a problem with the Uchiha being unstable; now that they are getting better, you still have a problem. Konoha can no longer withstand any more turmoil."

Danzo narrowed his only exposed eye and said, "I know your concerns, but I have hired an organization called Akatsuki, whose members are all top rebel ninjas from various countries. We only need a small amount of compensation to drive them to work for us."

"They will block the outside world from spying on us, so that we can focus on dealing with the Uchiha problem."
