Chapter 123: The Shimura clan’s territory is not within the patrol area of ​​the police department?

"What do you want from me, old man? I still have to help Naruto prepare breakfast. I'm busy."

"I didn't realize you, Jiraiya, had a talent for being a nanny."

Tsunade couldn't help but complain.

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment and scratched his head:

"Ahaha, well, since it was Naruto's request, I tried my best to satisfy him. I just helped prepare breakfast."

In order to make up for Naruto, Jiraiya put a lot of effort into taking care of Naruto, acting as both a father and a mother.

Naruto is cheerful every day and even laughs so hard that bubbles form in his nose.

I don’t know whether Jiraiya’s change is good or bad, but it’s good that he is willing to accompany Naruto, which can reduce his inner guilt.

After all, he felt guilty towards Minato for failing to fulfill his promise to him and for not taking good care of Naruto.

Fortunately, Jiraiya took over Naruto, allowing Naruto to feel the warmth of home and enjoy the company of family.

"Jiraiya, I'm afraid you can't help Naruto prepare breakfast. There is something I need you to investigate."

The Third Hokage gave a serious explanation:

"Just now, the Shimura clan came to the Hokage's office to report that their clan leader and two elders disappeared overnight. Even the clan members who were on night watch did not see them. Do you understand what I mean?"

"You mean someone did it?"

After hearing this, Jiraiya's sleepiness disappeared and he became serious.

This is no small matter.

The family head and elders disappeared overnight, especially in a big family like Shimura. Such a thing has never happened since the founding of Konoha.

It would be fine if it was just a misunderstanding, but if he was really attacked and really disappeared, it would definitely cause quite a stir.

"I'll investigate."

Sorry Naruto, you'll have to take care of your own breakfast!

After saying sorry to Naruto in his heart, Jiraiya left decisively and headed for the Shimura clan's territory.

He needs to go to the scene and check it out in person.

Not long after Jiraiya left, Fugaku arrived at the Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama, Tsunade-sama."

After the salute, Fugaku stood in front of the two men, waiting for the two bosses to speak.

Receiving the teacher's eye hint, Tsunade spoke:

“Patriarch Fugaku, what areas did the police patrol teams cover last night?

Please give me a detailed list of the members of the patrol team."

list?

Fugaku was completely confused. He had been notified to come to the Hokage's office early in the morning and had no idea what was going on.

A list was soon sent from the Police Department.

Tsunade and the Third Hokage read it in detail.

"The Shimura clan's territory is not within the patrol area?"

Tsunade discovered a problem, that is, the patrol area of ​​the police department did not cover the clan territories of each family.

I would like to have the police patrol area cover all the clan territories, but someone doesn't allow it!

If the police department is really allowed to include each family’s clan land into the patrol area, it can also expand the size of the police department.

Fugaku complained inwardly and glanced at the Third Hokage.

Tsunade understood immediately that it was not that the Uchiha didn't want to, but that the Third Hokage or the higher-ups didn't allow it.

It definitely involves the issue of targeting the Uchiha and preventing the police department from expanding.

Tsunade had nothing to say about this.

We can only let Fugaku go back first.

What on earth had happened that the Hokage-sama and Princess Tsunade actually wanted to check the patrol list of the police department and interrogate the patrol areas?

The Shimura clan was also mentioned. Did something happen to the Shimura clan?

Fugaku went directly to the police department with doubts and told his secretary:

"When Yan comes, let him come to see me."

"Old man, are you too nervous?"

“Also, the powers of the police department are getting smaller and smaller, which is not good for the village. If something serious happens, they don’t even have the right to deal with it.”

Today’s police department has been castrated in various ways. It can’t manage this, nor can it get involved in that.

Tsunade couldn't imagine what would happen if something big really happened in Konoha one day and the people in the police department were hesitant and lost the opportunity to provide first-time support and rescue.

For example, on the night of the Nine-Tails, although the Uchiha was a suspect, the Uchiha wanted to rescue them, but they were disrupted by a Danzo.

Danzo would rather lead the Root people to block the Uchiha than let the Uchiha people participate in the rescue.

What the hell is this intention? !

"Maybe I'm overthinking it."

As it involved some fights that were not fair to the public, the Third Hokage looked a little embarrassed and changed the subject.

What rights the Police Department will have in the future depends on Tsunade's decision. At least for now, the restrictions on the Police Department cannot be relaxed.

The sun is rising.

Yan, who was sleep-deprived, gave up the idea of ​​going to the Ninja School for breakfast and went directly to the Police Department. He asked his secretary to buy him what he wanted to eat later.

"Yan! The minister asked you to go to his office."

The minister's secretary reminded Yan who had just arrived at the police department.

"Okay, go right away."

Why did Fugaku look for me so early in the morning? Could it be that he had discovered the affairs of the Shimura clan?

It seems that the village is moving quite quickly.

I wonder if Obito saw the three corpses. He must have looked very unhappy.

After all, he took such a big blame for Uchiha.

I'll give you a little excitement now, and there will be more excitement in the future, so stay tuned, Obito.

"Clan leader, are you looking for me?"

After entering the minister's office, Yan sat down on the sofa and almost lay down.

Looking at Yan, who was as casual as if he had returned to his own home, Fugaku's eyelids twitched a few times:

"What did you do last night? Didn't you sleep well?"

"It's strange that I can sleep well."

Yan, who knew the truth, complained:

"It's all Aunt Asan's fault. She kept asking me to introduce her niece to me. She said I wasn't young anymore and it was time for me to find a girlfriend. It'd be best if I found a girlfriend from my family, not someone from outside. She also said Quan was still young. I was getting fed up."

It has been rumored in the family that Yan has a blood disease, but some people don't believe it. The person who wants to introduce a girlfriend to Yan is one of them.

Yan couldn't stand the enthusiasm.

"......"

You are only fifteen years old!!

Fugaku suddenly thought of his past self and coughed: "A-san is right, Quan is indeed a little small."

I believe you!

Back then, you kept chasing after Uchiha Mikoto, and the whole family knew about it. How dare you talk about it!

An old man in his twenties is staring at a teenage girl. It's a good thing you're the young patriarch, otherwise how could the talented girl in the family fall for you?

At that time, Uchiha Mikoto was well-known for her popularity in the village. She was gentle, considerate, and capable.

She is famous in the family and in the village, and has a lot of admirers.

But he is being chased by that old expressionless Fugaku.

In the end, relying on his status and his thick skin, he successfully won the beauty.

You still have the nerve to lecture such a shameless person. You are so shameless.

Giving Fugaku a look that said "you know what I mean", Yan shook his head and said, "I've heard from many people that the wife of the clan leader was also very young at the time."

"Cough cough!!!"

Fugaku's defense was successfully broken.

Although in the ninja world, it is normal to start dating at a certain age and get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but being teased about it is another matter.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it."

Fugaku really wanted to curse, "You, Uchiha Yan, even dare to make fun of the clan leader. Who gave you the courage?"

However, seeing that Yan looked like he was here to hurt each other, Fugaku decided to skip this topic.

"I went to the Hokage's office building. The Hokage and Princess Tsunade asked me about the patrol area and the identity information of the patrol team last night."
