"Next, congratulations to Uchiha Taro, Uchiha Jiro… who will be joining the Konoha Military Police Force starting today."
In the dim secret room, Hazuki's restlessness and Kiyoshi's smile seemed inconspicuous.
Fugaku began to congratulate the clan members who had joined the Konoha Military Police Force this time.
The clan members whose names were called stood up immediately, looking excited.
Watching the clan members' excitement about joining the Konoha Military Police Force, Kiyoshi's smile became more playful.
The Uchiha are, after all, members of Konoha, and have inevitably been influenced by Konoha's Will of Fire.
Fugaku even proposed a bloodless revolution.
But unfortunately, the Konoha Military Police Force is a cage from beginning to end.
Under the guise of monitoring criminals, the police force and the prison are set up in the same place, blatantly driving the Uchiha to the corner of the village.
Moreover, law enforcement officers are prone to offend others and attract resentment.
In the anime, the Uchiha only arrested people for drunk and disorderly conduct, but the surrounding passersby said that the Uchiha were too strict.
They didn't care what the consequences would be if the drunk and disorderly people continued to cause trouble.
Even so, the Uchiha still regard this place as a glory.
They are responsible for managing public order every day, dealing with trivial matters such as children scribbling, and villagers arguing.
The Uchiha clan's extraordinary talents are wasted on these things.
"Congratulations, congratulations."
"Haha, thank you for your support."
Several clan members who had just joined the Konoha Military Police Force were full of smiles.
"The Uchiha clan is thriving."
Fugaku sighed.
Many talented people have emerged in the clan recently, and there are even geniuses in medical ninjutsu like Kiyoshi.
Why worry about the Uchiha not prospering?
Thinking about this, Fugaku cast his gaze in Kiyoshi's direction.
Seeing Kiyoshi's bright smile, he couldn't help but nod.
It seems that this child has a strong sense of collective honor. He is happy for his clan members joining the police force.
…
The next day
Kiyoshi went to get his diploma.
His Jonin instructor hasn't been arranged yet but he will meet with the team members in a few days.
So Kiyoshi followed Mikoto to the clan to receive the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.
The Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique is the Uchiha clan's signature ninjutsu, and most Uchiha ninjas can use it.
This time, Yakushi's attitude was obviously much better.
The Uchiha clan is a clan where strength is paramount.
In the past, Kiyoshi was just a new clan member, and only had one Sharingan.
Now, he has transformed into a young talent who had graduated early.
He has no shortcomings in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, and is valued by Nono, the captain of the medic corps.
No one wants to offend such a genius.
"This is it, it seems our Uchiha has produced a genius."
Yakushi found a scroll, and took it out.
He patted the dust off, and turned to look at the two people behind him.
The scars on his face overlapped, making his smile look very ugly.
Mikoto nodded.
Her black hair was simply tied with a white hairband and draped behind her waist.
Two strands of fine hair fell on her delicate and flawless face, adding a touch of competence compared to when she was a young woman.
She was quite surprised that Kiyoshi could graduate in such a short time.
You know, Kiyoshi hasn't received any early education or training.
Before going to ninja school, many Uchiha clan members receive prior education, practice ninjutsu in advance, and so on.
Kiyoshi didn't have any of that.
"You flatter me."
Kiyoshi smiled faintly, taking the orange-yellow scroll in his hand.
The change in attitude was laughable.
"Mikoto-nee, where is Nekobaa located?"
After Kiyoshi got the scroll, he wanted to get his sword as soon as possible.
Mikoto said, "I'll take you there, it looks dilapidated, but there's a lot inside…"
The two came out and walked outside the Uchiha settlement.
As they walked, Mikoto introduced Kiyoshi to what the Ninja Cat clan is.
The Ninja Cat clan is said to be a clan, but it is actually a summoned ninja beast raised by Nekobaa (Granny Cat).
And Nekobaa is the owner of this weapon shop.
The scale of this shop is second to none even in the five great countries.
…
Not long after, in the evening, Mikoto and Kiyoshi arrived at a place full of ruins.
As long as a ninja has a pass and explains their intention, they can go outside the village.
The village itself doesn't manage ninjas very strictly.
Almost all of the Uchiha clan's ninja tools are purchased at Nekobaa's shop.
Therefore, the Ninja Cat clan and the Uchiha clan have a very close relationship.
They regard the Uchiha clan as honored guests, and even give the Uchiha a lot of information.
They are one of the Uchiha clan's sources of information.
"It's really desolate."
Kiyoshi looked at this place.
He could see that this place was once very prosperous.
He wondered why it had become so dilapidated.
Compared with the prosperity of Konoha, this place was deserted.
Mikoto nodded in agreement.
When she had come here for the first time, her feelings were the same as Kiyoshi's.
Then Mikoto led Kiyoshi to continue walking forward.
Occasionally, she could see broken walls and rats popping up from nowhere.
After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at a rather impressive place.
There was an old plaque on it, vaguely recognizable as the word "Empty Zone".
"It's here."
Walking in, they noticed that there were many dazzling underground passages.
However, Mikoto had obviously come here many times.
She skillfully led Kiyoshi to turn left and right, and soon saw two ninja cats wearing clothes.
"It's Mikoto, is the one behind you the new Uchiha you often talk about, meow?"
"Looks no different from other Uchihas, meow."
One of the ninja cats carefully looked at Kiyoshi, only feeling that he was stronger than an ordinary Uchiha.
"Take us to see Nekobaa."
Mikoto stood in front and communicated with the two ninja cats.
She gave them a few boxes of matatabi drinks, and the two ninja cats began to lead the way in front.
This drink is the favourite of ninja cats.
Before long, they arrived at an open and clean place.
The walls were covered with pots and ninja tools.
Mikoto stepped forward and talked to an old woman with a dark gray cat ears on her head.
The old woman was smoking a pipe, that was Nekobaa.
Kiyoshi didn't see any traces of little girls near Nekobaa.
He guessed that her granddaughter Tamaki hadn't been born yet.
In Boruto, Tamaki looked good, and Kiba had become her lover.
But they hadn't gotten married even after being in love for more than ten years.
"What kind of sword do you want?"
Nekobaa turned her head and asked Kiyoshi while smoking her pipe.
Her nose was brownish-black. Perhaps it was paint or maybe it was something else.
"It's best to have a metal with good chakra conductivity be the main material. It should be very durable, and there are no big requirements for the shape, as long as it's long enough."
Kiyoshi began to state his requirements.
Anyway, the cost will be covered by the Uchiha clan, so Kiyoshi naturally wants the best.
