Chapter 13 Konoha, Loyal Orange!
Chapter 13 Konoha, Loyal Orange!
Uchiha clan territory, Upper East District.
Kazuhiko arrived at Shota's house as agreed, carrying fruits he had brought from home.
"Brother Heyan!"
Shota rushed out of the house immediately and excitedly welcomed him into the yard.
"Father, Mother, Dr. Kazuhiko is here!"
As Kazuhiko stepped into the courtyard, he saw that a wooden mat had already been set up, with tea sets on the table and a faint aroma of tea filling the air.
Seated in the main seat was a middle-aged Uchiha with a serious expression, whose features bore a striking resemblance to Shota.
But his demeanor was completely different; he exuded a powerful aura, and his gaze toward Kazuhiko was scrutinizing.
"As expected of Eri and Hideki's son, he is indeed a handsome young man. Please, have a seat."
Yuta smiled.
"I've read your psychological analysis of Shota; it's incredibly accurate. If you ask me, you should join our security force!"
Yuta's words were surprising, leaving Kazuhiko somewhat bewildered.
His home visit was a preparation for facing doubts and discrimination.
Putting himself in his shoes, if a genin told him that he could awaken the Sharingan through medical means, Kazuhiko would never believe it, not even if you beat him to death.
So he was prepared to be looked down upon first, then show off and slap people in the face, successfully gaining their favor.
However, Yuta completely deviated from Kazuhiko's script, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.
"The doctor knows that our security force's main task is to arrest criminal civilians and ninjas, and make them confess and submit to the law. Therefore, your psychological medicine should be used to break down the psychological defenses of these criminals."
Yuta and Kazuhiko looked at each other with sincere expressions.
"Furthermore, joining the police force will allow you to take your psychology skills to the next level. Those vicious criminals have their own thought processes; their psychology is completely different, it's abnormal, and you have to distinguish it from the psychology of ordinary people..."
"What Captain Yuta is talking about could probably be called criminal psychology, right?"
"Ah, right, right, criminal psychology—no wonder he's the pioneer of psychological medicine, it's so fitting!"
[Uchiha Yuuta's affection level towards you has increased to: Friendly]

[Chonnin-level entry draw chance +1]
Kazuhiko truly never expected that his psychological medicine would be recognized in this way.
The joy of accident!
Yuta extended an invitation to Kazuhiko:
"The Uchiha Police Force is your promised land, join us!"
I don't want the wisdom of wandering for a thousand years in God's promised land.
Moreover, the security team is full of things that offend people, and you have to be out in the wind and sun. It's not as comfortable as staying in a mental health clinic.
Most importantly, in order to improve his reputation, Kazuhiko would even feed a dog a bone as soon as it passed by, just to see if the dog was a ninja dog.
Security force?
Whoever wants to go can go.
Kazuhiko declined with a smile:
"I won't go to the security force. If I join the security force with my abilities, people will say I got in through connections or back channels."
The members of the security team are all at least Chunin level, and most of them are top-tier Sharingan users.
Kazuhiko's reason left Yuta speechless.
For the Uchiha, joining the police force was an honor.
This honor must not be desecrated.
Yuta was somewhat disappointed, but quickly recovered and continued to speak eloquently:
"You're absolutely right about one point in Shota's diagnosis: the root cause of the conflict between our Uchiha clan and Konoha is actually a systemic problem, all because of that inherently evil old man, Senju!"
Kazuhiko:……
He glanced at the large tree outside the courtyard, its bright surveillance lenses reflecting the sunlight.
People can become speechless when they are at their extreme.
You're defying the rules, aren't you?
The cameras monitoring you are practically shoved in your face, and this is how you refer to the "Great Second Hokage"?
"How did Konoha come about? It was founded jointly by our Uchiha clan and the Senju clan after they made peace. We Uchiha... what did you say to Shota again?"
At this point, Yuta crossed his arms, thought for a moment, and then continued:
"Your words were particularly insightful: We Uchiha are Konoha's heroes who shed blood for the village, were wounded at the Kannabi Bridge, and served several generations of Hokage! All because of the Nine-Tails' rampage..."
With a bang, Yuta slammed his fist on the wooden mat, filled with righteous indignation.
"A fabricated charge, and this is how they treat the Uchiha, the heroes of Konoha? Making heroes bleed and weep! The sky over Konoha is far too dark!"
"The overall situation in Konoha started to deteriorate from the moment the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was taken over! Danzo, as his lackey, was utterly shameless! He installed surveillance cameras at the doorstep of every Uchiha's house and even sent Root ninjas to track and investigate the Uchiha's high-ranking members. Is there no justice? Is there no law?"
Kazuhiko wiped away non-existent sweat.
This Uchiha Yuta is definitely a pure-blooded Uchiha.
"And then there's that Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, that monkey. As Hokage, he couldn't find out the real culprit, he didn't do his job, he was incompetent. I think he should be impeached immediately and removed from his position as Hokage!"
Kazuhiko is numb.
Although Yuta's words made a lot of sense, but...
You dare say it, but I dare not listen!
Brother! Can you please say less?
His heart was screaming, but he dared not echo or respond.
The other party is a Jonin of the Uchiha clan who has awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan and enjoys freedom of speech.
But I'm just a weak, pitiful, and helpless medical genin!
I have parents who are waiting for me to take care of them in their old age, and I have kittens who are crying for food.
If Danzo and the Third Hokage see today's surveillance footage, will they take their anger out on me, a middle-aged genin?
What if, on my way to a mission, I accidentally step out of the village with my right foot first, end up with eight kunai stuck in my back, suffer a fungal infection in my brain that causes my eyes to die, and end up committing suicide under the Hokage Rock?
Danzo is really capable of doing something like this!
Kazuhiko, steeling himself, decided to say a few words to express his loyalty:
"Captain Yuta, we can't really blame everything on the external environment and other people. Our Uchiha ancestors did have some rebels who disrupted the unity."
[Uchiha Yuuta's affection for you has decreased]
"Furthermore, all the Hokage have made outstanding contributions to the prosperity and stability of Konoha. We cannot just focus on their minor mistakes and deny their sacrifices and efforts for the peace of the ninja world..."
[Uchiha Yuuta's affection for you has dropped significantly.]
Go ahead and lower it, lower it properly. Lowering it will still give the entry a chance to be selected.
Kazuhiko pretended not to see Yuta's disgusted expression and looked towards the Hokage Rock, seemingly lost in reminiscence.
"The First Hokage joined forces with his ancestors to quell the chaos and establish Konoha; the Second Hokage founded the Ninja Academy and forged alliances, laying the foundation for Konoha's peace and prosperity; the Third Hokage worked diligently and ensured Konoha's continued dominance despite attacks from multiple sides; the Fourth Hokage fought to the death and died a heroic death for the safety of Konoha, a truly lamentable end."
[Uchiha Yuuta's affection for you has dropped significantly to: Neutral]
[Chonnin-level entry draw chance +1]
"It is because of them that our Uchiha clan and Konoha have been able to continue to thrive generation after generation."
[...Affection level decreased]
"As the founders of Konoha, we should have a sense of ownership. Suffering this little grievance is nothing."
[...Affection level increases]
"After all, we Uchiha are second to none! Many Uchiha have inherited the Will of Fire and aspire to become Hokage!"
[...favorability rating increases significantly]
"Where the leaves dance, the fire will never cease. The firelight will illuminate the village, and the leaves will sprout new buds. The Hokage is the fire, burning himself to light up the village. And we, the Uchiha and the ninja of Konoha, are the new buds that inherit the Will of Fire."
[...favorability level drops significantly]
"When firelight kisses the fertile earth, when the cold wind blows through the forest, when war takes away our loved ones, our hearts still beat to the rhythm of Konoha!"
"I firmly believe that one day an Uchiha ninja will gain everyone's recognition and become Hokage!"
[...Affection level increases]
After finishing his speech, Kazuhiko glanced at the surveillance camera without making a sound.
Third Hokage, Danzo, can you hear me?
Konoha, Loyal Orange!
