Naruto took half a step back and said, bewildered, "I didn't kill anyone. You've got the wrong person."
"It was you, murderer!"
"And that white-haired bastard, the demon fox's killing must have been instigated by you."
Someone, it's unclear who, picked up a basket of eggs and hurled them towards the two.
Satoshi twitched his fingers, and a three-meter-high water wall appeared before him.
He narrowed his eyes, these were clearly not ordinary villagers.
From them, he felt the fluctuations of Chakra.
He understood. Danzo was behind this.
Satoshi hadn't intended to bother with them, but if these guys came looking for trouble and didn't get a beating, it would be an insult to his fists.
He suddenly stepped forward a few paces and, before the other party could react, shoved an explosive tag into one of their hands.
"Run! This spy has an explosive tag! He's going to destroy this street!"
At these words, the onlookers scattered faster than rabbits.
It was an explosive tag, after all. Forget them, even a Jonin couldn't withstand one.
The cannon fodder disguised as villagers hadn't reacted yet. Wait, I'm a spy again?
No, I'm Dan—
Smack!
Satoshi punched him to the ground and sealed his Chakra.
"According to Konoha Military Police Force regulations, no member shall use lethal weapons such as explosive tags against villagers in public places."
"Those who violate the above regulations, Konoha Military Police Force members have the right to use force against them."
With that, Satoshi swung his fists and gave the troublemakers a good beating.
These guys were originally just a disorganized mob, used for dirty work. They didn't even have official Root affiliation. At best, they were outsourced contractors.
While Satoshi was busy beating them, the other team of ninjas watching was already dumbfounded.
According to the original plan, Satoshi was supposed to kill these villagers, which would give them a reason to arrest him.
If he dared to resist with force, it would be Uchiha, along with the Jinchuriki, rebelling. All of them had to die.
But now... there seemed to be no reason to make a move.
While they were pondering, one of the ninjas disguised as a villager finally couldn't take it anymore. He seized the moment and bolted.
Satoshi was about to draw his sword when Naruto pulled out a kunai and threw it.
"Ahh!"
The kunai hit him squarely in the back. He struggled to get up, only to be slapped twice by Inaho, who had rushed over.
"Behave, or I'll kill you if you move again."
Satoshi gave Naruto a thumbs-up. "Well done."
Naruto was stunned for a moment, then grinned.
"Grandpa Hokage once said that to become Hokage, you must protect everyone in the village."
Hmm... Naruto has really been thoroughly brainwashed by Hiruzen.
[Naruto finally realized today that he doesn't necessarily have to be the one protected, he can also be the one who protects others.]
[Mission Reward: Flying Thunder God Technique]
Holy crap!
Satoshi nearly flew up.
Finally!
Finally, a decent skill!
With this, whether I can win or not is one thing, but at least it's not easy to die.
Satoshi sent someone to take Naruto home, then rushed back to the Konoha Military Police Force without delay.
Without a word, he unleashed a fierce combination of punches on them.
"Killing, huh?"
"Causing trouble, huh?"
"Framing a hero's descendant, huh?"
"You like to play, huh?"
Every time Satoshi spoke, these ninjas would take a few punches.
By the end, Inaho and Tekka couldn't watch anymore.
"Enough. Someone's going to die if you keep hitting them."
They thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what Satoshi's deal was.
Knowing these bastards had explosive tags, he didn't run. Instead, he risked it all to rush forward and deliver a beating.
Isn't that idiotic?
With so little money a month, why are you risking your life?
If it blew up, it blew up. It's not like it was your home anyway. Later, they could patrol one less street, and when it was rebuilt, they could even get some kickbacks.
It was a good thing, so why couldn't Satoshi understand?
He was still young, not as savvy as these old foxes.
The two of them pacified Satoshi, thinking they needed to find an opportunity to properly teach him the correct way to slack off at work.
At this time, Fugaku hurriedly put on his clothes.
Knowing that Satoshi was fighting violently in the downtown area again, he immediately wanted to resign from his position as clan head.
What exactly does this kid want to do?
Danzo's matter hasn't been resolved, and now you're pulling this stunt.
Fugaku had always considered his life to be treading on thin ice.
If this continued, let alone reaching the other shore, he would drown the moment he stepped into the water.
"Father, what happened?" Itachi stood at the main entrance, looking worried.
"There's a slight problem at the Konoha Military Police Force. You and Sasuke stay home obediently. Don't go anywhere without my command."
"Understood, father."
"Also..." Fugaku hesitated for a long time. He hadn't told his family about Danzo yet.
Itachi quickened his steps. "Father, please instruct."
"It's nothing. We'll talk about it when I get back."
Itachi's mind raced.
Since it concerned the Konoha Military Police Force, it must be related to Satoshi.
Could it be that he had done something unusual again that might cause Konoha's apprehension?
No, didn't Shisui say that Satoshi, like him, was a clan member whose heart was full of love?
How could he do such a thing?
Itachi was completely baffled.

At this moment, Fugaku arrived at the Konoha Military Police Force.
As soon as he entered the interrogation room, he smelled a strong scent of blood.
"Satoshi, what's going on?"
After listening to Satoshi's explanation, Fugaku still didn't show any joy.
"You're telling me these people are spies from hostile villages, carrying explosive tags to perish with Konoha?"
"That's right, clan head Fugaku. These people are too dangerous and must be reported to Hokage-sama as soon as possible."
Fugaku rubbed his face in annoyance. 'That's right your head.'
According to the report, each of these people carried seven or eight hundred explosive tags, but they didn't have a single scroll on them.
So how did they bring them in?
Were Konoha's patrol squads blind?
Fugaku gave a look, signaling Satoshi to follow him to the lounge.
He closed the door and lowered his voice. "Satoshi, do you know what you're doing?"
"Clan head Fugaku, I am performing the duties of a Konoha Military Police Force member."
"I'm not asking you that. Tell me honestly, is there a hidden truth in this?"
Satoshi hesitated for a moment. "Possibly."
Upon hearing this, Fugaku broke out in a sweat.
If the hidden truth Satoshi spoke of was that he fabricated evidence, then this matter would be very troublesome.
"Speak quickly."
"Clan head Fugaku, I don't think a few rotten fish like them could possibly infiltrate Konoha. There might be their spies within the village."
Satoshi extended his right index finger and pointed upwards.
"Up there might..."
"How dare you!" Cold sweat instantly broke out on Fugaku's back.
"Don't think that just because you have some connection with elder Kagami you can talk nonsense here. If this gets out, all of us Uchiha will die."
Satoshi spread his hands helplessly.
Who do you get this jumpiness from?
After a brief silence, Fugaku regained his composure. "Can we find information on these people?"
"No."
"Understood. I'll leave this matter to you. I'm leaving."
After saying this, Fugaku left the Konoha Military Police Force.
Satoshi clearly saw a look of reluctance on Fugaku's face.
Wait, you old bastard, you're not thinking of throwing me under the bus if something goes wrong, are you?
So, besides your youngest son, you can sacrifice anyone, huh?
Damn it, you deserve to be killed.
After complaining about Fugaku in his mind for a while, Satoshi returned to the interrogation room.
Again, he gave each of the ninjas a punch, knocking them unconscious.
After doing all this, Satoshi wiped the blood from his hands. He picked up a pen and meticulously recorded the action report.
"During tonight's patrol, several dangerous individuals carrying large amounts of explosive tags were apprehended."
"Investigations confirmed that these seven individuals were all outsiders, who infiltrated the crowd under false identities, spreading rumors."
"Today, they even publicly incited villagers to attack Konoha Military Police Force personnel and a child only four years old."
"To ensure the safety of the villagers, Konoha Military Police Force was forced to use force."
