Chapter 84 Unexpected Information
Uchiha启 actually didn't want to use this method. After all, what if he made a mistake and Uchiha Hiroki's actions were perfectly reasonable?
Moreover, doing such a thing in front of outsiders would always leave a bad impression within the Clan.
But Uchiha启 was extremely annoyed by Uchiha Hiroki's face, especially since this guy completely went against him, causing so much trouble over the Kakashi issue, which indirectly affected his plans.
Although, from another perspective, Uchiha启 might have to thank him, because without him, Uchiha启 wouldn't have been able to find a suitable test subject so quickly. Yet, seeing this guy, Uchiha启 was just utterly displeased.
Furthermore, Uchiha启's current actions, while seemingly impulsive, were actually well-considered. His relationship with these Hardliners had already reached this point, and he was determined to deal with Uchiha Yu.
The worse his relationship with the Hardliners was at this time, the less intensely they would suspect him if Uchiha Yu's plan succeeded.
Such a trace would be too obvious. Uchiha启 had demonstrated his wisdom, so the Hardliners couldn't go too far.
Besides, even if they suspected him, Uchiha启 wasn't without a backup plan. He had to thank Lord Orochimaru for that.
"Ke!" Fukyu Kohei was stunned. Not only was he stunned, but even the Uchiha Clan Ninja were stunned.
Fairly speaking, Uchiha Hiroki wasn't that incompetent; it was just that he probably never expected Uchiha启 to attack without any warning.
Looking at Uchiha Hiroki, who was in agony on the ground, Uchiha启 shook his head. He simply turned around and looked at the other Uchiha Ninja.
These guys immediately became wary when they noticed Uchiha启's gaze, clearly worried that Uchiha启 would suddenly attack them.
"Don't worry, I haven't gone crazy. This is a personal grudge." Uchiha启 spread his hands, "Also, Fukyu Kohei is my Jonin Instructor, and he's helped me on the battlefield before, so I think I have the right to understand what's happening, don't I?"
The Uchiha Ninja also breathed a slight sigh of relief seeing Uchiha启's attitude. Uchiha启's pressure on them was indeed quite significant.
Aside from his status in the Clan, just returning alive from the battlefield and activating his Three-Tomoe Sharingan meant he was not someone these ordinary Uchiha Clan members could resist.
Now, Uchiha启's attitude and explanation had already given them an out, and these guys were not without self-awareness.
"Yes, Lord Qi." At this moment, an Uchiha Ninja suddenly spoke, not feeling at all awkward calling a thirteen or fourteen-year-old kid 'Lord.' "The person we arrested is named Fukyu Kota. We arrested him because he violated public order regulations and ignored warnings."
"That's not true!" The arrested kid, Fukyu Kota, suddenly spoke, "My brother came back from the front lines, and my mom and I went to meet him, but you wouldn't let us through. My brother just returned from the battlefield; can't I even see him?"
"But do you know what consequences your actions could bring?" An Uchiha Ninja suddenly became angry as well, "If you lead the charge alone, how many people will follow your example? If a stampede occurs, can you take responsibility for the consequences? Do you wish for them to survive the battlefield only to die under your 'enthusiastic' embraces?"
"But… but…" Fukyu Kota was choked by the Uchiha Ninja and immediately didn't know what to say.
Hearing this, Uchiha启 roughly understood the situation, which made him roll his eyes.
This was originally a small matter, and it could even be said that the Military Police Force did nothing wrong. Imagine if everyone rushed in like this kid; what would be the final outcome?
Perhaps the Ninja would be fine, but the ordinary family members of these Ninja would suffer!
It was just the inherent arrogance of the Uchiha Clan that made them disdain to explain anything, coupled with the Uchiha Clan's rather crude methods and one-sided propaganda from those with ulterior motives, which caused the Uchiha Clan to become increasingly unpopular.
"I understand." Uchiha启 nodded. He looked at these Uchiha members, "I apologize for stopping you, but sometimes I think if you put some effort into explaining things to them, it wouldn't escalate so much. After all, they are the families of heroes, and it's understandable for them to be emotional when their loved ones return, isn't it?"
"Ah, yes, yes, Lord Qi." The Uchiha Ninja was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "It was our oversight."
"And you, kid." Uchiha启 nodded, then turned to Fukyu Kota, completely disregarding that this guy was the same age as him. He said directly, "Your brother is a hero returning from the battlefield, and it's understandable for you to be excited after not seeing him for so long. But rules must still be followed, otherwise, if consequences arise, I don't think any of you can bear them, can you?"
"I…" Fukyu Kota still wanted to say something, but he was immediately pushed down by Fukyu Kohei, who simultaneously said to Uchiha启, "I think he knows his mistake, Qi-kun, thank you."
Uchiha启 nodded. Although he couldn't see the kid's face, Uchiha启 couldn't be bothered with it anymore.
He was indeed not part of the Military Police Force; his actions could be said to be completely overstepping, but he didn't care that much.
Fukyu Kohei was his Jonin Instructor. Regardless of their actual relationship, it was enough for others to know that this connection existed between them.
Moreover, Uchiha启 did not interfere to pardon the fact that this kid had made a mistake. His only issue was teaching Uchiha Hiroki a lesson.
Perhaps the kid truly realized his mistake, as he didn't cause any more trouble afterward and dutifully followed the Uchiha Ninja.
As for Uchiha Hiroki, he was kicked hard enough by Uchiha启 that he could only be carried away by other Uchiha Ninja.
Looking at this guy's miserable state, Uchiha启 felt exceptionally comfortable. For a guy like this, if he got physical, he got physical. Uchiha启 was curious to see if he would find someone to help him.
"Thank you, Ke." Fukyu Kohei looked at his brother's obedient retreating figure. Although still a bit worried, he didn't forget to thank Uchiha启.
"It's nothing, just a small matter." Uchiha启 shook his head, saying indifferently, "But your brother is quite young, isn't he? He looks about the same age as me."
Fukyu Kohei seemed to be in his thirties, while his brother appeared to be around Uchiha启's age.
This made Uchiha启 quite curious, and Fukyu Kohei also seemed to find this topic a bit awkward. He rubbed his nose and didn't directly answer anything.
Uchiha启 was too lazy to pry into these matters; he had his own things to do.
Waving his hand casually, Uchiha启 turned and left directly, "Captain Fukyu, I'm leaving now. I'll try to talk about your brother's situation, though it might not be effective."
"Thank you for the trouble, Ke." Fukyu Kohei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "It seems this war has changed you a lot. You're very different from when we first met."
"Really?" Uchiha启 smiled, "Perhaps, this is a form of growth."
"Indeed." Fukyu Kohei smiled, "You are very different from some Uchiha I once knew."
"Oh? Captain, you used to know some Uchiha Ninja?"
"Yes, otherwise you wouldn't have joined my squad. Speaking of which, that guy was very powerful. His name was Uchiha Yu."
"…"
