NOVEL NEXT Chapter 149 Chief of the Police Department
Uchiha Shizhi had long wanted to correct this issue, but as the saying goes, even the wisest woman cannot make broth without water. After all, she didn't have much energy to spare—apart from raising her own children, she simply didn't have much time left to guide others.
It was only after the Sharingan Secret Jutsu came into existence that change became possible. Furthermore, due to this technique's role in developing the Sharingan, those with sufficient talent were able to significantly deepen their understanding of Dōkuriki's essence during cultivation.
This breakthrough peeled back the mysterious veil surrounding Dōkuriki, creating a chance to correct the existing flaw—specifically, merging the Sharingan's eye power with the user's most proficient form of strength. Moreover, because of the dramatic increase in comprehension, this fusion of the two powers received substantial benefits. Hence, Uchiha Shizhi believed that the clan's foundation at this point had already surpassed that of the Warring States period.
However, it wasn't until Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto had solidified their relationship and their control over Dōkuriki had reached sufficient levels—and especially since both were also highly skilled in Genjutsu—that they finally received guidance from Uchiha Shizhi.
Fugaku's talent surpassed even Mikoto's; although he started later, he still successfully took that first step forward. Like Mikoto, his primary focus lay in Genjutsu. He combined ordinary Yin Release Genjutsu with Sharingan Genjutsu, making a qualitative leap forward. However, the true breakthrough was still far off.
Had she not seen that Fugaku lacked the full potential to become the clan's leader, she would have passed on the Secret Jutsu to him long ago. She wanted Shiyu Uchiha to gain favor with Fugaku, as this would be the best outcome for the family.
With Fugaku Uchiha's strong promotion, Shiyu patiently waited for several days, allowing the situation to build up to its peak. Coincidentally, at this exact moment, Renga Uchiha successfully concluded his retreat and reappeared.
Shiyu privately felt delighted, believing that heaven itself was secretly aiding him and lending him a helping hand. Therefore, he decided to strike while the iron is hot, holding the official appointment letter from Uchiha Shizhi for the position of Chief of the Police Department, he proudly strode through the doors of the Police Department.
From that moment onward, he officially began his tenure as Chief of the Police Department.
Thanks to Shiyu Uchiha's reputation reaching the Police Force beforehand and bolstered by Uchiha Shizhi's influence, the other two high-ranking captains within the armored unit—though deeply unhappy about this newly assigned leader—still gave him a thin veneer of respect.
However, for Shiyu Uchiha, this kind of attitude was far from sufficient. Thus, like any new official, he began his tenure by lighting the first of the three fires.
When Shiyu Uchiha met Renga Uchiha, he keenly detected a faint scorching aura emanating from him. Immediately, Shiyu realized the truth—Renga had achieved a cultivation breakthrough.
"Big Brother Renga, congratulations!" Shiyu Uchiha smiled slightly, the first to offer his sincere congratulations.
"Shiyu, I really must thank you. Without the secret technique you provided, I might never have broken through in this lifetime," Renga Uchiha said earnestly, gazing at Shiyu with eyes filled with gratitude.
"What are your plans now?" Renga asked next, clearly aware of Shiyu's intentions and willing to lend a helping hand.
"I think a fight would be a great idea. After all, our Uchiha Clan has always followed the philosophy of 'might makes right.' However, I'll need Big Brother Renga to help gather everyone first," Shiyu Uchiha replied straightforwardly. There was no point in being polite with these folks—straightforwardness got results, and Shiyu had the strength to pull it off.
Deep down, however, Shiyu made a mental note about Renga Uchiha's name. Despite Renga seeming genuinely grateful toward him, he hadn't addressed Shiyu with the proper title of "Captain." This slightly annoyed Shiyu.
In his opinion, after breaking through in strength, Renga seemed somewhat conceited. Although Renga still felt gratitude inside, he clearly didn't hold much respect for Shiyu—it was a traditional illness passed down through the Uchiha Clan, disrespect masked as gratitude. It wasn't as serious as awakening the Mangekyou, and the cure was simple: a good thrashing fixes everything.
"Is that so?" Renga said, somewhat surprised, but quickly calmed himself when he recalled how Shiyu had defeated Fugaku Uchiha. He became even more certain that Shiyu was worthy of a Kage.
Moreover, Renga himself had recently broken through in power. In his mind, even if something happened, he could handle it himself. Without further comment, he agreed to Shiyu's plan: "Fine, I'll go gather them immediately. Wait half an hour for me."
Half an hour passed. During this time, Shiyu sat alone in the captain's office reviewing documents and thinking about matters concerning the Security Division. Considering some minor adjustments were still needed, this situation seemed like the perfect opportunity for a second push.
Just then, Shiyu suddenly heard knocking on the door. It was one of the clan members accompanying Renga. After receiving permission from Shiyu, the man entered the room and said, "Captain, the Paramilitary Police Force under Captain Shiyu has assembled. Lord Renga has sent me to inquire when you would like to head downstairs."
Shiyu casually placed the document he was holding onto the table and answered concisely, "Lead the way." With that, he stood up, following the clan member out of the office.
One minute later, Shiyu steadily arrived at the spacious training ground behind the Police Department. He sharply scanned the area with his piercing gaze, taking in the sight of over 230 elite Uchiha warriors standing neatly in formation. A faint sense of satisfaction welled up within him, prompting a slight nod—after all, none of this would have happened without him.
Then, he took a deep breath and raised his voice, clear and commanding enough to echo across the entire training ground: "You are all outstanding members of our Uchiha Clan, while I am your new captain. I hope to prove through my strength that I deserve the position of leadership.
Therefore, I hereby solemnly declare that anyone here can challenge me. If someone can defeat me, I will willingly switch positions with him!" As soon as these words left Shiyu's mouth, the previously orderly scene instantly began to stir, gradually giving rise to whispers and murmurs among the crowd.
There were indeed some among them who harbored discontent toward Shiyu Uchiha, but nobody had expected him to make such a straightforward demand. Furthermore, when Shiyu spoke just now, he intentionally unleashed an intimidating pressure. Only jonins possessing the triple-comma Sharingan remained unaffected, giving everyone else a basic impression of his strength. Therefore, not a single reckless soul dared to step forward and provoke him.
Renga and Fugaku had braced themselves a little, but even they weren't ready for this.
After all, Uchiha clansmen have always been known for their proud and defiant nature, with numerous talented individuals who held themselves in high regard. Thus, as soon as Shiyu Uchiha finished speaking, several triple-comma Sharingan experts stepped forward from the crowd, one after another, without hesitation declaring their intent to challenge Shiyu Uchiha.
