The police force is an important part of Konoha.
Founded during the reign of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, all its members are ninjas from the Uchiha clan, responsible for maintaining public security in the village.
This is not only an affirmation of the strength of the Uchiha clan's ninjas, but in a sense, it also means prevention and surveillance.
Because most ninjas from the Uchiha clan who have opened their Sharingan are not very emotionally stable, so you must pay strict attention to these people.
But in any case, because the power of the police force is too huge, and Uchiha is Konoha's top blood successor limited ninja clan, based on this situation, even the Hokage often sells them a face.
The guard building is where the members of the guard work. Most of the people who come in and out of here are ninjas from the Uchiha clan. Occasionally, ninjas or civilians who have committed crimes are brought inside for instructions. These ninjas and civilians are probably It violated some rules in the village, but it was innocuous. It was a civil dispute, and the most it could do was to be detained for a few days and a half.
If the circumstances are serious, they will be sent to Konoha Prison for reform.
As for the work process, there is basically no need to report to the Hokage. As long as there are no major problems, the Hokage will not pay attention to such things.
Although there are already numerous complaints about the police force being arrogant and detaining people indiscriminately.
Some of them were truly wronged due to negligence, and some were fanning the flames behind the scenes to slander the Uchiha clan.
After joining the security force, Liuli saw such trivial things every day.
After all, it is very rare to find a spy in the village or encounter an enemy attacking Konoha.
Most of the time, the Guard is tasked with handling these civil disputes.
Even if it is handled well, most of them will not get a good reputation. Once it is not handled well, all kinds of complaints will come to your door.
In addition, most of the ninjas of the Uchiha clan have very direct tempers. When they can't help it, they will beat up those who speak out loud, which will lead to more accusations.
"It's so boring..."
Liuli stood inside the guard building, in the corridor on the third floor, looking at the crowds of people coming and going outside through the glass. She could clearly see two Uchiha ninjas from the guard holding down several people in front of the square of the guard building. After coming in, the two sides were quarreling fiercely in the square.
"It's boring, but this is what the police force goes through every day. Especially after retreating from the front line, it's hard to adapt to such a peaceful life."
The person who walked up to Ruri was Uchiha Jonin, Uchiha Fugaku.
He knew that Ruri had just been transferred to the security team from Sakumo's team and was unable to switch to his current identity for a while.
Unlike the exciting life of Sakumo's team, the work of the security team is indeed much more monotonous.
Fugaku didn't make any comments when he saw the dispute in front of the police building. This kind of situation has long been accustomed to it.
"For such a thankless job, the rest of the ninja clan should join in. Our clan alone cannot handle these people's rumors."
On the contrary to Fugaku, Liuli is not afraid of such unnecessary rumors, but if she hears or sees too much, it will make her bored.
Like a chattering fly.
There are too few ninjas and civilians in Konoha who can truly look at things rationally.
Someone like Sakumo is even rarer among the rare.
It's not that Uchiha has no friends in Konoha, it's just that there are very few people who can be called friends.
There are also some who have a neutral attitude, and many more complain about the arrogant attitude of the police force.
This is also where Ruri feels dissatisfied. Since he is being accused, it would be great if all the ninjas are accused together, which can share a lot of Uchiha's pressure.
Moreover, the participation of other ninjas from the ninja clan can make it easier to handle these civil disputes.
For example, the three clans of Ino, Deer, and Butterfly, or Hinata, who are also members of the blood-succession limited ninja clan, have their secret techniques and abilities also arranged to serve in the police force.
"But this is a pillar that only our Uchiha clan can carry. If we allocate the power of the police force to the rest of the ninja clan, many people in the clan will have objections."
As the only ninja clan who took the lead in founding Konoha, the Uchiha clan should enjoy this kind of treatment and not be on an equal footing with the rest of the ninja clan.
"Only one family maintains absolute power. No matter how much power is divided, it will not affect the family's status in Konoha. No discerning person will look down on us. As for those mediocre people, the power of Uchiha is not for those idiots to watch."
This is how Liuli sees it.
Fugaku didn't say anything. He knew that Liuli's strategy would not be passed at the family meeting and would be rejected by many people.
"By the way, aren't you out on a mission?"
Ruri knew that Fugaku was currently working for the Hokage faction and formed a new team with the other ninjas in the village to perform tasks.
"I also have a name in the police force, but after the mission is completed, I come back here to take a look. It's still the same as before, not much has changed."
Fugaku sighed.
"I kind of want to go out on a mission."
Liuli said this.
"Be patient, this is something that every Uchiha ninja will experience. Speaking of which, how much do you know about the Mangekyou Sharingan?"
Fugaku turned to chat with Ruri about other topics.
"You asked the wrong person. I may not know as much about the Mangekyo Sharingan as you do."
Liuli shook her head. She had only met with Elder Sifang a handful of times in the past few years. On the one hand, it was because of the mission, and on the other hand, she really felt that he was getting old.
He is no longer the elder in her mind who is full of wisdom and can give her a lot of effective experience.
Especially the incident at the root was always a thorn in her heart.
Unless this thorn is removed, she will feel that her thoughts cannot be accessed.
"Elder Sifang's tone is very strict. The reason why he didn't say anything may be because the conditions for opening the Mangekyo Sharingan are very harsh for us."
Fugaku nodded and expressed his opinion.
From the information currently available, we can only guess at such information.
For example, stronger emotional stimulation?
The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is the power that evolved in this way.
If he hadn't been convinced of the character of Elder Shifang, Fugaku would have felt that the so-called Mangekyō Sharingan was really just a legend.
Ruri is not very interested in this topic. Regarding the Mangekyō Sharingan, she also holds the idea of activating the Mangekyō Sharingan. If it cannot be activated, she will learn celestial arts and use natural energy to fight.
You cannot be induced by power. To be truly powerful, you should turn power into a part of yourself, rather than simply becoming a puppet dominated by power.
The more we know about the infinite possibilities of natural energy, facing this vast and endless world, sometimes human power is really very small.
No matter how powerful a ninja is, he cannot escape from this world. He needs this world to thrive.
People should be in awe of the world.
"Well, the person looking for you is here. I won't interrupt your date. Let's chat next time we have a chance."
Fugaku turned his head and saw something, smiled at Liuli, and then walked away knowingly.
On the opposite side of the corridor, Shiraishi was standing there. He came to see Liuli.
In the eyes of many Uchiha ninjas, Shiraishi is considered half an Uchiha.
What a genius child adopter.
Although it is not clear why they, the genius girls of Uchiha, would like such an ordinary man, I can only say that the taste is unique, and as outsiders, they only need blessings.
Sooner or later, you will have to marry into your family.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Shiraishi can come and go freely in the security team that does not allow people to visit. Occasionally, Uchiha ninjas will greet him, and Shiraishi smiles back at them.
Some Uchiha ninjas have very bad tempers and really arrogant attitudes, and some are also very talkative, at least they don't always say things like 'we Uchiha'.
On the rooftop of the Guard Building.
The breeze was blowing slowly. Liuli, wearing a black tight-fitting ninja suit, leaned gently on the railing on the edge of the rooftop and asked first: "You are looking for me at this time, are you running out of money?"
"Why do you think it has to do with money?"
Shiraishi suddenly felt helpless.
"Because every time you come to me suddenly, it's because of money issues."
Liuli is used to this.
"Although funds are indeed a bit tight, it is enough to squander it for now. I have other things to say to you this time."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Since it's not about money, it shouldn't be a very important thing.
"Insect Man and the others found a few remnants of the Uzumaki clan in the Kingdom of Tea."
Shiraishi told this information.
Liuli immediately looked at Shiraishi's face, and the relaxed posture disappeared from her body.
"Uzumaki clan?"
I want to confirm the authenticity of this information.
"Yes, the Uzumaki clan."
Shiraishi confirmed this.
"Haha, right? It's really interesting."
Even Liuli, a person who could ignore many things, couldn't help laughing when he heard the news.
Shiraishi nodded, showing that this was indeed the case.
Liuli's reaction was not beyond his expectation.
The reason why the organization was established was mostly due to Liuli's efforts. Although Shiraishi is the manager, Liuli's status in the organization cannot be denied.
To a certain extent, Liuli is the real commander of the organization, but he is just too lazy to take care of things.
It is really ironic that the Uzumaki clan, which has a close relationship with the Senju clan, is now in such dire straits that she, an Uchiha clan member, needs help.
After all, the Uchiha clan has been in a hostile relationship with the Senju clan for many years, and the relationship with the Uzumaki clan is naturally very bad.
I wonder what those dead ancestors of the Uzumaki clan who were friends with the Senju clan would think if Izumi had known them?
I really want to see what kind of complicated expression the First Hokage will show after learning about it.
Most of the existing sealing techniques in Konoha, including the sealing ninjutsu of tailed beasts, all come from the Uzumaki clan.
As a result, the Uzumaki Country where the Uzumaki clan is located, which is a neighboring country of the Fire Country, was destroyed under the eyes of others. The clan members fled in all directions, hiding their names and living a precarious life.
The current country of Whirlpool is full of destroyed ruins, and the population loss is very serious.
"I remember when I was in school, there was a red-haired transfer student in the next class. Her name seemed to be Uzumaki Kushina."
After laughing, Liuli's expression returned to calm, and she thought of something and said.
"That's right. The vitality of the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan is very strong, and they are very suitable for being jinchuriki. They also master the powerful sealing technique. The sealing technique for sealing the Nine Tails was given to Konoha by the Uzumaki clan. The vitality is strong and suitable for jinchuriki. They can also Using the sealing technique ensures that the tailed beast will no longer have the possibility of going berserk."
"I see. After the country was destroyed, he immediately came to Konoha...is it related to the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki?"
Regarding the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, this is Konoha's top secret, and it is impossible for Konoha's top management to let irrelevant people know.
Although many people have already guessed who the former Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Konoha was, this is the most likely and most suitable candidate.
Mito Uzumaki - the wife of the first Hokage.
It is estimated that when the Uzumaki Kingdom is destroyed, the body will no longer be able to survive, so a young Uzumaki clan member is needed to serve as a jinchuriki and become the new container to seal the Nine-Tails.
"She is most likely the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki now. According to the information provided by the survivors of the Uzumaki clan, Konoha did take away one of their clan members from the Uzumaki clan at that time."
Shiraishi was not very impressed with Uzumaki Kushina, he only remembered that the red hair was more distinctive.
But by contacting the information he obtained and analyzing it backwards and forwards, it is easy to get these answers.
Even if there are discrepancies, Uzumaki Kushina is still a very important existence to Konoha's top brass.
Otherwise it is unexplainable, the Uzumaki Kingdom was destroyed, and Konoha only brought back a little girl.
Apart from bringing him back as the new Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, the other possibilities are not very great.
"Do you want to take advantage of Kyuubi?"
Shiraishi pays so much attention to the Uzumaki clan, which makes Ruri have this speculation.
Shiraishi once obtained the chakra of a Shukaku on the battlefield, and obtained a lot of important information from the chakra of the tailed beast. It was natural for Ruri to be interested in the other tailed beasts.
"As much as I want to do it, I haven't lost my mind to that point yet."
Shiraishi knows how much he weighs now. Although he is not afraid of Konoha now, it is a judgment based on the premise that he can save his life.
If they really had to face off against such a large Ninja village, the only way out would be defeat.
There are many taboos that cannot be violated in Konoha, and the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki is one of them.
"I came to you not just to tell you this, but also to tell you something more important. You must be mentally prepared."
"What?"
Liuli asked with a frown.
"The top brass of Konoha are studying Wood Release, and they may have very fruitful results now."

The country of tea, underground stronghold.
Insect Man stayed in a room to communicate with a Uzumaki tribesman. This was the oldest Uzumaki tribesman among the eight people he rescued, and he was also the talker among the eight.
He now changed into clean clothes, the plaster and odor on his body had also been washed away, and he seemed much more energetic.
He was undoubtedly filled with gratitude for Chong Man, his savior.
Over the years, he relied on his meager strength to wander around the ninja world with his family. Since the fall of the Kingdom of Whirlpool, their family has not lived a peaceful life for a day.
It's a bit ridiculous to say that the life he lived after being captured by those wandering ninjas was actually the most stable life in these years.
Even if I eat moldy food every day, I still enjoy it.
Recalling the glory of the Uzumaki clan in the past, and comparing it to the current situation, his eyes couldn't help but feel sad.
"As for your arrangements, the leader has given detailed instructions. We will help you settle in the Kingdom of Ghosts, but in this case, you will need to remain anonymous temporarily and you will not be exposed to public view. Wait until the time is right. Only then can we arrange for you to live under the sun."
Because the identity of the Uzumaki clan is too easy to get into trouble, and their organization is not currently planning to do anything eye-catching.
Whether it is collecting intelligence or building a stronghold, it is all done quietly.
"No problem, we are ready to remain anonymous."
The old man of the Uzumaki clan did not object to the leader's proposal. Rather, it was very consistent with the current situation of the Uzumaki clan.
In the past, when the Uzumaki Country was still alive, I had not felt this way, but with what I have seen and heard over the years, and the pain I have personally experienced, now it is enough to continue the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan stably.
"But don't worry, it won't take too long. For us, you Uzumaki clan can share a lot of pressure by joining us. Our organization has always been open to outstanding talents."
“Can I ask, what does the organization do?”
The old man of the Uzumaki clan couldn't help but ask.
Since you have decided to accept the blessing of this unknown organization, you must find out something about the organization's purpose.
Chong Man gave a very helpless smile: "In fact, I am just a cadre, not big or small. What is the purpose of the organization? I know very little. I can only feel that the leader is doing something very big." Something. You can only ask our leader personally what it is. I am also very curious about the answer."
When he said this, there was obvious awe in his tone.
The old man of the Uzumaki clan remained silent and did not ask any more questions.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, the insect man had no intention of staying here any longer.
"Then, you can rest here for a while. In a few days, we will arrange for people to send you to the Kingdom of Ghosts. It is a very peaceful country. I hope the peace there can sweep away the haze in your hearts."
After saying this, the insect man left the room.
The four team members outside had been waiting for him to come out of the room.
"How about comfort?"
"You've already come in. It's not easy to get out. Favors from the organization are not so easy to repay, let alone..."
The leader is also a research geek.
How can you spit out the fat that reaches your mouth?
They could hear the implication behind the insect man's words, and they all smiled knowingly.
"However, these people should still be hiding something from us."
The insect man stood there and pondered.
"hide?"
"These remnants of the Uzumaki clan who are scattered across the ninja world may have ways of contacting each other. Through these people, we may be able to find more remnants of the Uzumaki clan and absorb them into the organization."
“Do you want to play the long game to catch the big fish?”
"This is also the meaning of the leader. In short, we should appease them first. When they see our sincerity, even if we don't take the initiative to mention it, they will come and ask us to tell other Uzumaki clan survivors where they are, so that we can save their people from the sea of suffering. middle."
If it were an ordinary person, the insect man would not be so interested, but it was a different matter for the remnants of the Uzumaki clan.
Therefore, trust between both parties is key.
Asking them directly about the whereabouts of the other Uzumaki clan members would easily arouse resentment in their hearts and consume the meager trust they had managed to establish before.

The dark and damp cave looks incredibly wide.
The entire space is sealed, and there is no so-called exit.
A frail old man sat on a wooden chair made of trees. His face was covered with wrinkles and his hair was gray. His body was hunched even when he was sitting on the wooden chair.
His long white hair covered his right eye, leaving only his tightly closed left eye exposed. He sat on a chair and rested with a peaceful expression.
There was an object similar to a white strip connected to his back. At the other end of the white strip, it stretched into the endless darkness behind him, and the outlines of huge trees and fruits could be vaguely seen.
Not long after, the land in front of the old man suddenly squirmed slightly, and two pale-skinned humanoid creatures emerged from it.
The old man didn't open his eyes, but as if he knew there was someone in front of him, he asked:
"Still no definite news?"
The old man's voice was extremely old.
But when this old voice sounded, everything around seemed to stop and became the only loud thing in the darkness.
"No, the White Zetsu who was monitoring Nagato suddenly disappeared for some unknown reason. The other White Zetsu searched for a long time, but they couldn't find the whereabouts of that White Zetsu."
One of the two white humanoids answered the old man.
"Madara-sama, could it be that Nagato discovered the traces of the White Zetsu and got rid of him?"
The other white humanoid creature took it upon itself to make random guesses and report to the old man.
"Idiot, from the analysis of past intelligence, Nagato's use of the Rinnegan is still very immature. With Nagato's current power, there is no way to detect the traces of White Zetsu."
"But except for Nagato, none of his miscellaneous fish companions are aware of the existence of ninjas, so it is impossible to detect the traces of Bai Zetsu."
The white humanoid creature said with a puzzled expression.
And even a sensing ninja may not be able to detect traces of Bai Zetsu, unless it is a special sensing ninjutsu.
Or maybe it's a very powerful clairvoyance technique like Byakugan, which is much more troublesome for them than a perceptive ninja.
"Continue to monitor Nagato, and ask Fei to act together. In addition, send a few White Zetsu to Konoha."
The old man's voice sounded again, giving clear instructions.
"Konoha? Madara-sama suspects those people from Konoha?"
"Not only because of Bai Zetsu's disappearance, I don't have much time left. Nagato alone is not enough to promote the 'Eye of the Moon' plan. I also need a spokesperson who can act on my behalf... Go ahead. "
The old man's tone was still scornful, but it gave people an undoubted deterrent effect.
"Yes, Madara-sama."
After the two white humanoid creatures retreated, the old man opened his closed left eye. It was a scarlet three-magatama Sharingan, which was particularly eye-catching in the dim environment.
"Hashirama... the future you place your trust in has no place for peace... I won this time..."
In the darkness, the old man sighed with regret.
But saying this doesn't prove anything to anyone.
Because the man he cherished his whole life, who was both his opponent and his best friend, no longer existed in this world.
He slowly raised his hand and touched his chest lightly.
The wound opened by that man felt as painful as if it happened just yesterday, and a trace of a nostalgic smile appeared on the old face.
Hashirama...
