Once this massive label was slapped on her, not to mention that middle-aged woman, even the onlookers’ expressions changed.
They almost instinctively took several steps back to avoid getting caught in the crossfire and being splashed with blood.
Some members of Root, who were hiding in the crowd and attempting to continue inciting the people to carry out their mission of ruining the Uchiha’s reputation, also shut their mouths at this moment.
This Uchiha had even brought up the Second Hokage—how could they possibly dare to keep speaking?
After all, the Second Hokage was the teacher of their direct superior, Danzo Shimura!
If they continued to slander now, wouldn’t they be speaking ill of Lord Danzo’s teacher?
Did they even want to get promoted anymore?
“You…
you’re talking nonsense!
I…
I didn’t!” The middle-aged woman was now somewhat incoherent.
This kind of uneducated commoner, when wrongly accused, easily falls into their own trap out of panic, and that was exactly Genya’s intention.
As if catching another loophole in her words, Genya said relentlessly:
“You say I’m talking nonsense?
Are you saying the Uchiha Police Force wasn’t established by the Second Hokage?
Or are you saying our Police Force is framing you?”
“You actually dare to question the policies established by the Second Hokage?!”
“Don’t you know that the Second Hokage is the most respected teacher of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as well as the Hokage’s Assistant and the two Hokage Advisors?”
“It seems to me that you don’t just look down on the Second Hokage, you’ve placed yourself above all of Konoha.”
“I…
I…”
Uchiha Genya’s voice was very calm, even carrying a hint of mockery.
But that woman was already so terrified she was incoherent, unable to utter half a sentence.
She was afraid that if she continued to speak, he would catch another loophole and slap an even bigger label on her.
The surrounding onlookers were all stunned.
The smarter ones were even backing away continuously, wanting to leave this den of trouble as quickly as possible.
Seriously, can these things be said so casually?
You dare to say it, but I don’t even dare to hear it!
Not to mention the woman who had the blame pinned on her; she stood frozen in place, drenched in cold sweat.
If she hadn’t held onto her last shred of sanity, she would have wanted to faint on the spot.
Genya’s crimson Sharingan swept over the two dumbfounded members of the Konoha Police Force.
“What are you waiting for?
Take down this reactionary who dares to place herself above all of Konoha and intends to rebel!”
Uchiha Genya finally slapped the label of rebellion on her.
It was clearly just a common street dispute, but Uchiha Genya had forcibly escalated it to the level of a capital offense.
Once the charge of rebellion was established, this ignorant commoner might very well end up with a dozen kunai in her back tomorrow, only to be ruled a suicide.
“Yes, sir!”
Two Uchiha members, though not Genya’s direct subordinates, instinctively stood at attention under his gaze and obeyed his order.
It was as if obeying Genya was a perfectly natural thing to do.
They didn’t even care about the troublemaking Genin from earlier and went straight forward to pin that long-tongued commoner to the ground.
The rewards for catching a Genin causing trouble in the street versus catching a reactionary were completely different.
It was only then that she reacted, hurriedly reaching out to the surrounding onlookers.
“Help!
The Konoha Police Force is beating people!
Someone come and save me!”
Unfortunately, not only the onlookers but even her Genin husband lowered his head, trying his best to minimize his presence.
He was now completely sober, and cold sweat was pouring down his body.
Placing oneself above Konoha and even attempting to rebel!
No matter which of these two labels was slapped on, even a Jonin would lose a layer of skin.
Let alone ordinary people like them.
Genya was very satisfied with the attitude of these Konoha commoners.
In Genya’s view, the Uchiha had been too kind in the past, giving these commoners the illusion that the Uchiha were easy to bully.
Now that the heavy club of the Police Force had swung down, they finally felt what true fear was.
Seeing the crowd around him silenced like quails, shaking with fear, Genya immediately felt the power of this old-school approach.
Genya waved his hand: “Take this criminal who intended to subvert Konoha back to the Konoha Police Force and interrogate her strictly to see if she has any accomplices!”
“Once found, they are to be dealt with severely immediately, without any leniency!”
“Yes, sir!”
The two Konoha Police Force members dragged the woman back to the station like a dead dog.
To prevent her from shouting along the way, one of them even hit her hard on the mouth with a club.
Once she entered the Police Force prison, they could make her admit to even assassinating the First Hokage.
The onlookers automatically parted to make a path, and no one dared to block these two Uchiha.
After all, no one wanted to be labeled as an accomplice.
However, at this time, the two Uchiha also felt a wave of refreshment.
It seemed that since the Konoha Police Force was established, they had never felt so vindicated.
That was the newly appointed Captain Genya, right?
Should we file a report to transfer to his squad?
It felt like if they followed him in the future, they wouldn’t have to take the crap from these commoners every day!
A few people in the crowd glanced at each other, all sensing that something was wrong.
Usually, when encountering such a situation, the Konoha Police Force wouldn’t strike back when hit or talk back when cursed.
Today, however, they had staged such a scene of forcibly pinning blame in front of everyone, as if they completely disregarded Konoha’s laws.
This matter had to be reported to Lord Danzo as soon as possible; the Uchiha seemed to show signs of spiraling out of control!
…
After finishing his work, Genya returned to Ichiraku Ramen.
The noodles in front of him hadn’t completely cooled down yet; they were just a bit clumped together, but the taste remained unchanged.
Uncle Teuchi had also witnessed the scene just now.
Looking at Genya, who had returned to his gentle state, he hesitated to speak.
“That person only spoke some idle gossip; was it necessary to throw her in prison?”
And seeing the woman with her mouth full of blood, she would probably have psychological trauma for the rest of her life, even if she were released later.
Genya returned to his seat and said with a smile: “As long as everyone obeys the law, the Uchiha Police Force will be their safest haven.”
“But if anyone attempts to defy the order established by the Second Hokage, the Konoha Police Force will let them know why the Uchiha are called the number one clan in the ninja world and the controllers of the Konoha Police Force.”
Teuchi opened his mouth but ultimately didn’t say much more.
He was just a ramen seller; he just needed to do his job well every day.
Just as Genya said, the Uchiha never targeted ordinary people.
