He was about to say something when he saw Jin's gloomy face.
Immediately.
He recalled what Uchiha Jin had said last night at the clan meeting.
"Yes, sir!"
Without the slightest hesitation, he waved his large hand.
Seven or eight Uchiha clan members, without any hesitation, charged directly into the crowd.
Yes.
For ordinary Uchiha, there was no consideration of whether the order was problematic.
An order is an order!
As a ninja, one only needs to obey the commands of superiors.
Almost instantly.
The people hidden in the crowd, constantly fanning the flames, were immediately seized by the Uchiha.
Countless villagers were startled.
Clearly.
No one had expected the Uchiha to be so ruthless, actually arresting people just like that!
This is Konoha Village!
What exactly do these Uchiha want to do?
The crowd began to panic, their eyes filled with fear.
As a group of civilians, fear was the normal state.
And, at this moment.
Uchiha Jin spoke again.
"Fellow Konoha Villagers, there's no need to be afraid."
"Please calm down, and then take a good look at these three people."
"Does anyone here know them?" Door.
Chapter 86: Whether you're Anbu or Root, I'll treat you as a spy!
Uchiha Jin's expression was calm.
Even after just ordering arrests, his face still bore a gentle smile.
Clearly.
For him, such a small scene was truly not worth his attention.
Trying to mess with him?
Did they really think he was one of those foolish Uchiha!
Yes.
Although no investigation had been conducted yet, he had already concluded in his heart that these three individuals were either from the Hokage's Anbu or from Danzo's Root.
If that's the case, what's there to be afraid of?
So what if they were arrested?
Everyone had long since become enemies, and as long as it was within the rules, he wasn't afraid to contend with the Hokage faction.
He truly didn't believe Sarutobi Hiruzen would dare to openly break ties!
And, on the other side.
Perhaps because of the gentle smile on Jin's face, the previously panicked Konoha Villagers slowly began to calm down.
Subsequently.
When everyone looked at the three arrested individuals again, they immediately started discussing animatedly.
"I don't know these three people!"
"I haven't seen them either, have you?"
"Don't know them!"
...
The Konoha Villagers spoke up one after another.
Everyone shook their heads; not a single person present recognized the three individuals who had been arrested.
Seeing this scene.
Uchiha Jin's lips curled into a faint smile.
"Everyone, you should have seen it, right?" Uchiha Jin spoke softly, "I found it very strange just now; it was merely a small thief."
"Whether caught correctly or incorrectly, it shouldn't have caused such a big commotion."
"Unusual events often indicate something sinister, and these three individuals I've arrested are the ones who were constantly sowing discord in the crowd just now."
"We'll talk about the thief later."
"I now suspect that these three individuals are most likely spies from an enemy village."
"So I want to interrogate these three people first, and I hope all villagers can understand."
He smiled.
His words were very polite, almost giving face to everyone.
Countless Konoha Villagers naturally nodded repeatedly.
They were not unruly citizens.
In a world like Naruto, ninjas were the privileged class.
The Uchiha were even a powerful clan.
Perhaps, with the village's support, they dared to secretly speak ill of the Uchiha.
But, on the surface.
No one dared to disregard the Uchiha, let alone Uchiha Jin, who was a high-ranking Uchiha official and the head of the Police Force.
Speaking to them politely was already considered giving them considerable respect.
"Yes, I support it!"
"I felt something was off just now; so they're spies from an enemy village."
...
The Konoha Villagers nodded repeatedly.
And after gaining everyone's agreement, he turned his gaze to the three individuals.
His tone was very calm.
"Tell me, who are you?" Uchiha Jin spoke softly, "As long as you can prove that you are Konoha Villagers."
"I, Uchiha Jin, will personally apologize to you!"
But, silence!
Facing Uchiha Jin's words, none of the three arrested individuals showed any intention of speaking.
At the same time, they weren't flustered.
In fact, their gazes towards Uchiha Jin were filled with disdain and mockery.
However.
They didn't know that Uchiha Jin hadn't expected them to speak either.
Just seeing their calm and composed, confident demeanor, he was completely certain.
These three weren't spies.
They were either Root or Anbu!
It seems he guessed correctly.
This seemingly farcical thief-catching incident today was deliberately orchestrated by the Hokage faction.
But, what was the purpose?
To test him? To tarnish his reputation?
But even if they succeeded, what would they gain?
