On light gray Xuan paper, the black ink strokes were sharp and forceful. Each decree exuded an unquestionable dominance, attracting countless villagers and Ninjas to stop and watch.
"My god! The Konoha Military Police Force has supreme law enforcement power? Even the Hokage has to obey?"
"They can directly kill lawbreakers during enforcement? This is too ruthless!"
"Obstructing enforcement is considered betraying the village? This law is way too strict!"
Discussions rose and fell; some were shocked, some panicked, and some were angry, but no one dared to tear down the notices. Uchiha Setsuna had already dispatched Guard Members to patrol various areas. Their crimson Sharingan scanned the crowd, and anyone who attempted to provoke them was subdued on the spot and taken to the Military Police Department for interrogation.
The sky of Konoha quietly changed color as the legal notices were posted one by one.
Meanwhile, at the training grounds of the Konoha Military Police Department, all three hundred-plus Guard Members were summoned.
Among them were senior members and young Clan members who had just returned from the battlefield. At this moment, they were all lined up neatly, their eyes filled with doubt and expectation.
Shain, dressed in black combat gear, slowly stepped onto the high platform of the training ground. His crimson Mangekyo Sharingan swept across the field, instantly plunging the noisy training ground into dead silence.
"From today on, you are no longer ordinary Guard Members." Shain's voice spread throughout the field via Chakra. "You are the enforcers of Konoha, the guardians of order. This new law is your power, and it is also your responsibility."
For the next three days, Shain personally led the team, conducting rigorous training for the three hundred-plus Guard Members.
He interpreted every detail of the law in depth, demonstrated standard enforcement procedures, and taught techniques for handling various emergencies.
From how to identify illegal acts to how to subdue resistors and how to exercise the powers granted by the law, Shain shared everything he knew.
What shocked the members even more was that Shain also shared his combat experience from the battlefield, teaching them how to protect themselves during enforcement and how to subdue enemies with maximum speed.
The three hundred-plus members became more passionate as they learned. The doubt in their eyes gradually faded, replaced by fanatical faith and firm determination.
They finally understood that what Shain wanted to build was not an ordinary enforcement team, but an iron-blooded force that stood above everything else—one that no one would dare to provoke!
After the training ended, another event occurred that made all the members cheer: the Uchiha Clan spent a massive amount of money to acquire high-quality fabric and create brand-new, custom-made uniforms for the Konoha Military Police Force.
When the first batch of uniforms was delivered to the members, everyone's eyes lit up, filled with unbelievable surprise.
It was a set of exquisitely designed light combat gear: the main body used a light gray soft fabric, nearly white, loose yet not sloppy. It ensured flexibility in movement while exuding a calm and capable temperament.
The neckline was a mandarin collar design with sharp lines, highlighting the majesty of a law enforcer.
On the front of the garment, several Tomoe patterns of varying sizes were embroidered with black silk thread. These were both a symbol of the Uchiha Clan and added a touch of mystery and coolness to the uniform.
A dark, wide belt was tied around the waist; its texture was tough, serving not only to tighten the waist but also to hang Ninja tools.
A katana was slung across the back, its scabbard carved with exquisite diamond patterns, and the hilt wrapped with black cord. It produced a crisp'shing' sound when drawn, which was highly intimidating.
At the same time, the waist was equipped with a black baton made of special material. It was incredibly hard and suitable for subduing enemies at close range.
The entire uniform combined the loose aesthetic of traditional Japanese clothing with the practicality of modern combat gear. The cool color palette further emphasized the seriousness and calmness of the enforcers.
After the members put on the uniforms, their temperaments transformed instantly. The originally ordinary Clan members now appeared valiant and heroic, their eyes sharp, exuding an air of majesty that warned others to keep their distance.
"So cool! This is simply the coolest uniform I've ever seen!"
"Wearing this outfit, I feel like my whole body is filled with power!"
"From now on, we are the most handsome enforcers in Konoha! Let's see who still dares to look down on us Uchiha!"
The members excitedly looked at each other, their faces full of pride and arrogance.
When the news reached the Uchiha Clan Compound, countless Clan members were envious and applied one after another to join the Konoha Military Police Force, wanting to wear that cool uniform and become one of the enforcers.
For a time, the Konoha Military Police Force became the most popular entity in Konoha.
Guard Members in their brand-new uniforms patrolled the streets. Their crimson Sharingan paired with the cool combat gear formed a unique sight.
Villagers gave way whenever they saw them, and Ninjas no longer dared to provoke them as casually as before.
On a fine afternoon in Konoha, a small tavern near the commercial street was already in a state of total mess.
Tables and chairs were overturned, wine jars were shattered, and fragrant rice wine flowed along the ground mixed with dust. The air was thick with the smell of alcohol and the noise of bickering.
A young Ninja wearing Sarutobi Clan robes stood in the center of the tavern with his hands on his hips, his face flushed red and his eyes bleary—it was Sarutobi Ōkawa, an ordinary member of the Sarutobi Clan.
He was clearly quite drunk, his footsteps unsteady and his mouth spewing curses. He pushed over a wine table next to him and roared while pointing at the tavern owner's nose: "This crap wine! You watered it down, didn't you! You dare to fool me? Believe it or not, I'll burn this dump of yours to the ground!"
The tavern owner was so scared his face turned pale, and he backed away repeatedly, angry but not daring to speak out. The surrounding diners also fled, fearing they would be caught in this unprovoked disaster.
Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's years of indulgence, many Konoha villagers, especially ordinary members of the major Ninja clans, had long developed arrogant and overbearing temperaments. Relying on their Family's power, they often bullied others or caused drunken trouble. In the past, the Konoha Military Police Force would either turn a blind eye or let them off lightly. Over time, these people became true 'unruly citizens.'
"Make way! Make way!"
Just then, three tall figures pushed through the crowded crowd and walked in quickly.
They were three enforcement members of the Konoha Military Police Force. Leading them was Uchiha Kō, dressed in the brand-new light gray police uniform. His mandarin collar was stiff, and the black Tomoe pattern on his chest was particularly striking in the dim tavern. The katana scabbard slung across his back glinted coldly, and the black baton at his waist swayed slightly with his steps.
The other two members were also neatly dressed and stood tall. Their crimson Sharingan scanned the chaotic scene, bringing with them an innate aura of majesty.
The surrounding villagers subconsciously took half a step back upon seeing this, and the noisy tavern instantly quieted down a bit...
