# Chapter 11: Mutually Assured Destruction, Let's See Whose Hands Are Clean!
"No, you're a genius, whose brother are you?"
"You're Uzumaki Mizuki's brother!"
Uzumaki Mizuki could only comfort him like this.
He knew the reason, but it wasn't easy to solve. He could only rely on Naruto's hard training to overcome it.
"Mn, I'm a genius, I can definitely do it!"
Naruto nodded very seriously.
Then he fiercely shoveled several mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.
"How about this? Give me the Chakra Extraction Technique and the seals for the Three Basic Jutsu. I'll study them."
"Tonight after I get back, I'll help you find the reason for your failure, okay?"
Uzumaki Mizuki could only take this roundabout approach.
Since he was preparing to guide Naruto in his training, having the four basic training methods was enough.
"Okay!"
"Thanks, brother!"
Naruto nodded hurriedly.
He always felt his brother was smart and could definitely find a way to help him succeed quickly.
He hurriedly finished his meal, then took out his textbooks to tell Uzumaki Mizuki the training methods.
Uzumaki Mizuki pretended it was difficult and deliberately copied down the content from the textbooks.
Yesterday, he had taken quite a few Fire Style Ninjutsu from Uchiha Fugaku, basically everything below B-rank.
He had accumulated quite a bit of wealth now, at least comparable to an Elite Jonin.
"Spending a week to learn them shouldn't discourage Naruto too much, right?"
Uzumaki Mizuki thought to himself after copying everything down.
...
The commotion caused by the Uchiha Clan lasted for about a week.
Including the internal investigation within the Uchiha Clan, everyone knew about it.
Those suspected were all locked up in the Uchiha Clan prison for supervision.
When the commotion in the Uchiha Clan died down, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately convened a meeting. Only Elite Jonin and clan heads were qualified to attend.
At the meeting, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say much. He just talked about strengthening defenses, preventing attacks from Uchiha Madara, and so on.
"I wonder, Clan Head Fugaku, how many spies did you find this time? Can you transfer them to Root for processing?"
Danzo went straight up and asked for people.
The extermination of the Uchiha was the greatest boost for Danzo.
Because besides eliminating the Uchiha Clan, he also wanted to take the power of the Sharingan!
Possessing one of Shisui's eyes made him feel a huge increase in strength. The arm Orochimaru gave him could allow his body to withstand more Sharingan.
He could even glimpse the Uchiha Clan's secret technique, Izanagi!
His obsession with the position of Hokage drove him to use any means to increase his strength. The Uchiha Clan, as nutrients, should properly go die.
"Let me clarify, we haven't confirmed any spies yet, only suspected possibilities!"
"If we really confirm them, I will hand the spies over to the ANBU."
Uchiha Fugaku said very calmly.
Other clan heads attending the meeting looked at Uchiha Fugaku in surprise.
He was actually willing to hand over his own clansmen?
If there were problems, they were usually handled within the clan. At worst, they would just execute the person directly. How could they hand over living people to the ANBU? Wouldn't that be letting the ANBU handle them as they pleased and pry into clan intelligence?
"The ANBU can also help verify. Handing over some people for me to handle would be good too."
But Danzo was relentless.
The sooner he could get Sharingan, the more his strength would increase.
"I think the Police Force's interrogation capabilities are sufficient to complete this task!"
Uchiha Fugaku naturally wouldn't back down.
These old geezers fooled his son into doing that kind of thing; how could he let Danzo get his wish!
Go eat farts!
"With ANBU participation, we can resolve this matter faster."
Danzo, unwilling to show weakness, continued.
"I think the ANBU also needs to investigate itself. Last time, Uchiha Madara found the Fourth Hokage's wife's delivery location so easily. Perhaps someone leaked it."
"Those matters were handled by the ANBU; the Police Force had no hand in it. I think the ANBU also needs to be inspected to see if there are spies inside. Let the ANBU and Police Force investigate each other's personnel. What does Lord Hokage think of this opinion!"
Seeing this, Uchiha Fugaku went for a "Mutually Assured Destruction" move.
Come on, let's see whose butt is clean.
The Police Force hadn't taken a single benefit all these years and got rolled eyes every day.
Look at the work the ANBU did all these years; it wasn't that clean.
People from other clans didn't speak at all; watching the show felt great.
Ino-Shika-Cho, as the main supporters of the Sarutobi Clan, didn't speak up at this moment either.
Preserving their basic standing was enough. They had no interest in managing so many things; it was better not to get involved.
"Enough!"
"The Police Force has historically handled internal affairs and is responsible for village safety."
"The ANBU is responsible for external affairs and handling classified missions. It's not suitable for both sides to investigate each other. Stick to your responsibilities!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen called a stop.
The ANBU definitely couldn't be investigated.
Because their actions were too big, it would be easy to spot problems.
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that Uchiha Fugaku seemed to have stiffened his spine; he didn't have that weak appearance anymore.
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen speak, neither Danzo nor Uchiha Fugaku said anything more.
"The matter of Uchiha Madara's impending attack is the most important thing for the village right now. In the near future, we will increase ANBU presence in the village, stationed everywhere!"
"Everyone, please tell your clansmen not to make any suspicious moves to avoid being mistaken for spies. The ANBU has priority handling and interrogation rights..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen stated the main reason for calling them here this time.
As Uchiha Fugaku listened, his expression sank. They were seizing the Police Force's authority.
When the First Hokage and Madara were around, the Police Force was responsible for all internal village issues.
During the Second Hokage's time, the Uchiha was responsible only for issues related to the village, while the ANBU handled some espionage missions.
After the Third came to power, he started slowly grinding his knife, expanding the ANBU's power bit by bit.
Until now, within the village, the ANBU basically possessed capabilities equivalent to the Police Force and could take action directly against families in the village.
This time, Sarutobi Hiruzen meant that the ANBU could touch whoever they wanted, and the Uchiha Clan was no exception
