Naruto's Journey to Training

After the public execution by the Guard Department, Konoha gradually returned to peace. No matter how sad things are, they will slowly fade away with the passage of time. After all, the living people still have to strive to move forward and live.

Time is the best medicine for any pain. In a blink of an eye, Konoha returned to being the bustling and most prosperous village in the ninja world. All the sorrows were slowly diluted on the eve of the intersection of the old and the new.

People also stopped talking about the dirtiness covered up by Konoha's high-ranking officials and started talking about how to prepare New Year's goods and welcome the arrival of the new year.

The Uchiha clan members were busy preparing the banquet for their ancestor worship. People wearing Uchiha clan uniforms could often be seen spending huge amounts of money at street stalls, with no sign of bargaining under their calm and indifferent faces.

Recently, the merchants in Konoha have also discovered this. Even if Uchiha enters a store with a stinky face, the store owner will still greet him with a smile.

After all, making money! Not cold and greedy.

Tsunade was walking silently on the streets of Konoha with Shizune, who was about twelve or thirteen years old. When he looked at the Uchiha who were carrying large and small bags, he couldn't help but joked.

"Are the Uchiha so rich nowadays?" This was the third group of Uchiha clan members making large purchases that they had seen since entering the village!

When she was in Konoha in previous years, she had never seen Uchiha be so extravagant.

"Isn't this a good idea, Lady Tsunade?" Shizune's innocent words revealed a hint of confusion.

Tsunade shook her head. The overall feeling she had when she returned to the village this time was very strange. The village seemed to have changed, yet it also seemed to have not changed.

To be more specific, the Uchiha she met now gave her a very different feeling.

She still had a sullen face and still looked down on people. She even felt that she was a little too tall, but the villagers gave her a very strange feeling.

It’s as if they all have masochism. The colder the Uchiha is, the more enthusiastic they are.

"Could it be that the village is really like what the old man said, that the Uchiha have now completely taken control of the village!"

Suddenly, the crowd in front quickly made way.

Tsunade looked carefully, her pupils shrank involuntarily, and a hint of horror flashed in her eyes!

"No way! Are all the ninjas now marked with the Uchiha symbol?" It's no wonder Tsunade was so shocked. The scene she saw was really too weird. In the past, she would not even dare to think like this.

What she saw was a member of the Hyuga family, leading three ninjas from the Nara, Akimichi and Aburame families, and followed by five or six civilian ninjas.

He was wearing a black vest uniform with the Uchiha clan emblem printed on his chest. He was walking in the middle of the road with a serious face. The villagers along the way seemed to have encountered some terrible plague and were unable to avoid him.

This scene was really incredible. The ninjas of that family allowed other families to print their family emblems on their clothes, and this incredible scene actually appeared in front of Tsunade.

"Could it be that the village founded by my grandfather was really taken over by the Uchiha?" At this moment, even Tsunade, who didn't believe in Sarutobi very much, was a little suspicious whether the Anbu ninja who conveyed the information had downplayed the situation.

It's not that the Uchiha are about to usurp power in Konoha, but that they have already succeeded in usurping power.

Just as Tsunade was suppressing her surprise and rushing towards the Hokage Building, ready to ask the old man Sarutobi what the situation was.

The group of ninjas in black uniforms stopped in front of a woman holding a sleepy child.

When the woman holding the child saw the Konoha Guard getting closer, her face trembled noticeably and a hint of panic appeared in her eyes.

The leading ninja of the Hyuga family looked at the woman with an indifferent expression, "Do you want to explain it yourself, or come with us and then explain it!"

"You...what do you want to do? Do you want to arrest people in broad daylight? I'm telling you, I'm not...not afraid of you!"

The woman pointed at the Hyuga ninja's nose and shouted at him loudly, her forehead already covered with sweat in the middle of winter.

"Hmph! You know that it's New Year's Day and the Security Department is trying to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, but you human traffickers still dare to commit crimes in defiance of the law. Do you really think that there is no one in my Security Department?" Hyuga Ninja's eyes showed some disgust!

When the people around them saw that the Security Department was not looking for them, they relaxed instantly and started to watch the fun.

Originally, I thought that the Uchiha was implementing a high-pressure policy in the village, which made the villagers afraid just by seeing the ninja with the Uchiha clan emblem. Tsunade, who was about to take action to forcibly stop the tragedy of oppression of the people, stopped her action instantly.

I plan to wait and see first.

"You...you...are talking nonsense. Why do you say I am a human trafficker? Your security department has killed so many ninjas who trafficked children. Who would dare to be a human trafficker now?" the woman said quickly.

The people around also nodded in agreement. After all, that day left a very deep impression on most people.

"Humph! You can fool ordinary people, but how can you fool my Hyuga clan! The child in your arms is obviously in a state of disorder!"

"I advise you to be lenient if you confess, and be strict if you resist. You know how the Security Department handles things. The reason why we are not arresting you by force now is to give you a chance to redeem yourself. If you tell us who your superior is, I can save your life. Otherwise, you will be the one to die!"

When Hinata's cold words came out, the woman who was trying to quibble suddenly felt her body soften when she heard the word "death" and she collapsed to the ground, and the child she was holding was also thrown to the ground by her.

The people from the security department rushed over quickly, picked up the child, looked at the wound on the child's forehead, and glared at the woman fiercely. Fortunately, the wound was not serious, otherwise they would all be punished for this law enforcement.

The security guard quickly took out a small pill and carefully gave it to the child. After a few seconds, the wound on the child's forehead began to heal.

When the people around saw that the child had a wound on his forehead but didn't wake up, they immediately realized that the security department was right. This was definitely a human trafficker, otherwise why would the child sleep so soundly? One by one, they began to look at the woman with extremely resentful eyes.

After all, the impression of the 414 case is still there, and Konoha is now quite hostile to things like human trafficking.

When the police officer gave the child a heart-clearing pill, the child slowly woke up, and when her blurry eyes saw the woman slumped on the ground.

"Wow!" He cried out.

"I want my mother! This is a bad woman!"

There is no doubt that the child's words, spoken in a tearful tone, have become irrefutable evidence at this moment.

The ninja leading the team in Hyuga didn't say anything more! He gestured to the team members behind him and said, "Take them away!"

"Yes! Captain Hizashi!"

In an instant, the woman broke down and started to cry loudly and tremblingly.

"I'll tell you everything. Don't kill me, don't kill me! It's all that damned thing. He said that our business is very popular recently. If we can make some money, we can sell the girls to sex shops and make a lot of money!

"Please let me go! Don't kill me!"

The security personnel ignored the crocodile tears and forced the woman with weak legs to walk towards the security department without any expression.

Before leaving, the member of the security department holding the little girl glanced at the crowd around them.

"Everyone, it's New Year's Day, and there are many outsiders in Konoha. Although my security department is patrolling, everyone should pay more attention to the children around them when they go out. If any of them are lost, report it immediately!"

After saying this, without waiting for the villagers to respond, the civilian ninja hurriedly caught up with the team.

Tsunade saw the whole scene from a distance, and for some reason she felt slightly touched.

Especially when she saw a woman who was so anxious that her face turned pale, running over to ask everyone if they had seen her child.

After she eagerly described the appearance of her child, the kind people around her told her that her child had been taken away by the security department. At that moment, the woman's relaxed expression particularly touched Tsunade.

Afterwards, she observed the villagers' conversations and discovered that the reason the villagers were so in awe of the Security Department was that they were in awe of their strict attitude in enforcing the law, not that they would hurt themselves.

In fact, this is mainly because the time is too short and the villagers are not used to this inhumane way of doing things.

In fact, many villagers know that as long as they do not violate the laws of Konoha, the Security Department will not come to find you.

But I can't help but feel guilty when I see those clothes. After all, what if I accidentally violate the law? They don't understand the law, and they will be in a lot of trouble and they won't be able to explain themselves.
