They also didn't want to enter the Keibitai (Police Force), so they cooperatively nodded.
"Yes, yes, we were just playing around, uncle. Let us go, we won't mess around anymore…"
"But that won't do. Everyone involved in fighting must be arrested…" These men ignored Uchiha Itachi's plea and the children's apologies. They really took all five of them to the Keibitai, not even sparing little Shōbu.
Shigeo frowned slightly. No wonder the Uchiha Clan was later annihilated. With this kind of arrogant, overbearing law enforcement, even if they took control of the entire Konohagakure, they wouldn't be able to govern it properly.
Sure enough, the Keibitai prison was filled with complaints. Some were locked up just for drinking too much and quarreling, others because their dog had bitten someone. All kinds of matters, big or small, reasonable or not, ended up in this cell.
"Hey, I say, Keibitai captain, instead of catching child kidnappers, you arrest people like us? What heinous crimes have we committed that you cling to us like this? You just don't know where else to vent your strength, do you?" someone shouted angrily.
"Shut up! Still daring to talk nonsense? Do you want a beating?" As he said this, the Uchiha Clan guard rushed into the cell and began kicking and punching the man, while others around frowned at the sight.
As night fell, the parents of the other children came and took them home. In the larger cell, a few people whispered about the missing children in the village.
In the smaller cell, only Shigeo remained.
Closing his eyes, he turned his senses inward to the Mirror System. During the day, he had already learned all of the Fourth Hokage's jutsu. With his growing chakra and constant training, the miniature Kyūbi inside the mirror clone had already reached 0.1%—quite an impressive progress.
He opened his eyes and looked at the cell. With his current ability, escaping would be easy. But he couldn't do that.
After all, he was just a child, and it was only a small scuffle. They wouldn't keep him locked up for long.
Watching the Uchiha Clan guards walking back and forth, he smiled faintly. Since he had the time, he would cultivate Uchiha Obito's ninjutsu!
Among the three shinobi copied by the Mirror System, one of them was Obito.
Shigeo's innate Kagami (Mirror) bloodline, and his hidden Rinnegan, made him the most suitable person for the Mirror System. Because of his mutated Hyūga Clan lineage, he was able to use the system to replicate anyone's ninjutsu.
If the Yellow Flash, the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, was already a legend among shinobi, then Uchiha Obito was undoubtedly a legend among villains.
Sharingan emerged, Mangekyō Sharingan awakened, alternate-dimensional space manipulation, and Mokuton (Wood Release) chakra surged forth.
Shigeo's deep blue eyes took on the crimson of the Sharingan. As chakra coursed through him, his mirrored cultivation improved steadily.
A wave of burning heat swept through his body. His eyes morphed into the form of the Mangekyō. Compared to when he cultivated Namikaze Minato's ninjutsu, the reaction this time was far more intense.
No wonder people said the Uchiha Clan carried restless blood in their genes—it was true!
Finally, when he opened his eyes again, his pupils were crimson. Testing out spatial transference, he instantly appeared on the rooftop of the Keibitai headquarters. With another shift, he was already back inside the cell.
