Chapter 89: Tetsuka Kneels on One Knee; Uchiha Jin Is Moved

~6 min read 1,151 words

Uchiha Jin, his tone grave.

He was not joking!

He had been deeply reluctant to take on the role of Police Chief in the first place.

If someone came running to ask for reasons every time he did something, he would accomplish nothing all day, spending all his time just explaining things to them.

The point was.

If everyone were as smart as Nara Kazama, a couple of hints would suffice for them to guess.

But the Uchiha were utterly stupid.

Even if he explained word by word, sentence by sentence, these fools would struggle to understand.

"Very well, no problem." Tetsuka spoke with sincere expression, saying directly, "Elder Jin, please enlighten me!"

After he finished speaking.

Uchiha Tetsuka knelt on one knee!

Clearly.

He knew himself that his actions were wrong.

After all, the clan leader had made this clear at the clan meeting last night.

But there was no other way!

He was truly panicked; he absolutely had to know the truth, otherwise he would be unable to do his job in the future.

So, to express his apology, he offered the utmost sincerity.

Kneeling on one knee.

For an Uchiha, one would never kneel, even before the clan leader, unless one truly agreed from the heart.

Tie Huo was willing to do this.

Essentially, he had already basically approved of Uchiha Jin's handling of the matter just now.

Although the thief was not caught, the villagers were quite satisfied.

Even Uchiha Shinichi had gained benefits! 677

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Uchiha Jin, who had looked lazy just moments before, could not help but become serious upon seeing Tie Huo kneeling on one knee.

Yes.

Since the other party had gone this far, what more could he say?

"Tie Huo, get up."

"Since Itachi have gone this far, it seems I indeed must teach Itachi properly."

"Of course, how much Itachi learn depends on your own aptitude."

"First question, just as I said earlier, do Itachi feel something is off about this matter from start to finish?"

"I said outside just now, can a simple thief case normally create such a huge scene?"

Uchiha Jin asked aloud.

Tie Huo was somewhat stunned.

But seeing Jin's serious expression, he could not help but become serious as well.

A moment later.

He asked in confusion, "Is it not because those three spies caused trouble?"

"Heh, Itachi actually believed it?" Uchiha Jin's mouth twitched: "That was me bluffing the villagers; those three were not spies."

Hearing this, Tie Huo looked utterly shocked.

"Not spies?"

"Of course not."

Uchiha Jin shook his head and said calmly, "Every spy is precious."

"It takes a very long time for them to establish a foothold in another village."

"Would Itachi be willing to use such precious spies on a mere thief?"

Tie Huo fell silent!

Even if he was stupid, he had noticed something was wrong.

Thinking of this.

He could not help but draw in a sharp breath, his body covered in cold sweat, clearly realizing something was amiss.

Something was wrong with today's events!

He had failed to notice from start to finish, only realizing something was off after Uchiha Jin pointed it out.

Precisely because of this, he understood even more clearly.

Uchiha Jin's greatness!

After pondering for a moment, he asked in confusion.

"I, still cannot figure it out!"

"If they are not spies, why did they not refute it just now?"

"And since Itachi knew they were not spies, why did Itachi order us to interrogate them?"

Uchiha Tie Huo felt his head aching.

Yes.

He, could not figure it out.

His head was about to explode!

He could not make sense of Uchiha Jin's actions at all.

Regarding this.

Uchiha Jin did not hide anything and immediately spoke coldly.

"I have said this much, yet Itachi still do not understand."

"Let me explain in more detail."

"Did Itachi not notice that after we captured those three, they showed no fear at all, and even dared to try provoking us?"

"Even toward me, the Head of the Police Force, all three looked down on me with disdain, showing no fear whatsoever!"

"Itachi, think carefully."

"Within our Hidden Leaf Village, who has the qualification to look down on the Uchiha, to look down on me, the Head of the Police Force?"

Hiss!

At this moment, Tie Huo finally understood completely.

He, was covered in cold sweat.

"They..." Tie Huo trembled all over and asked in confusion, "Are they the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu Black Ops?"

"But, why?"

"Wait, no!"

"If they are Anbu, then we cannot torture them."

"I must hurry and order them..."

He, was unsettled.

His eyes were filled with panic, and his words were incoherent.

Seeing this, Uchiha Jin shook his head slightly.

Before he could finish, Jin cut him off directly.

"Forget it, Itachi're done for."

"I'll just be blunt: I saw long ago that those three were Anbu."

"I deliberately had them captured and deliberately let them be tortured, all to teach the Hokage faction a lesson."

"I've just taken office today, and they're already looking for trouble."

"Do they really think I'm easy to bully?"

"As for why the Hokage faction did this, I can think of two reasons."

"First, to suppress the Uchiha."

"The worse the Uchiha's reputation becomes, the more it will create a rift between the Uchiha and the village."

"Even if the Uchiha were to rebel, as long as their reputation is terrible, no ninja clan or commoner would be willing to support them."

"Second, to incite civil strife within the Uchiha."

"Use your pig brain to think: if I hadn't handled this incident well today, would Uchiha Chana have let this opportunity slip?"

"At that point, he would definitely have attacked me."

"And as long as I and Uchiha Chana fight, regardless of who wins or loses, the Uchiha's internal strength will suffer losses."

"Externally, all ninja clans and commoners would despise the Uchiha; internally, the Uchiha would be in constant chaos."

"Only then could Hiruzen Sarutobi secure his position as Hokage!"

"The so-called thief and the victim were just small fry, mere pawns used against the Uchiha."

"Whether it was true or false..."

"That didn't matter in the slightest!"

"So, do Itachi stupid fool understand now?"

"Whether the Police Force does its job or not, whether it can solve cases or not, those commoners are nothing."

"Even if they died, the Hokage wouldn't care."

"As long as it strikes a blow against the Uchiha and the Police Force, causing the Uchiha's reputation to gradually worsen."

"As long as that is achieved, then Hiruzen Sarutobi has won."

"So, be smart."

"The Police Force's daily work only needs to be faked well enough to keep the villagers satisfied."

"The truth doesn't matter, and neither does justice!"

"Even if the entire Konoha descended into complete chaos, that would be of no consequence."
