"Hey, watch it, you jerk!"
A burly man felt a commotion behind him and turned around, glaring furiously.
The next moment, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and his eyes filled with fear.
"Mi-Mirai-sama..."
"I'm sorry! I didn't realize it was you!"
Mirai waved dismissively, his tone calm.
"It's fine. Let me check what's going on inside."
"Ah... of course! Right this way, Mirai-sama!"
The crowd immediately parted, creating a clear path. No one dared provoke the newly appointed leader of the Uchiha Police Force, a figure notorious for his exploits during the Third Shinobi War.
As Mirai entered the restaurant, he left the door wide open, allowing the crowd to witness everything. Inside was chaos: shattered plates and broken furniture littered the floor.
Two men with Konoha forehead protectors lounged arrogantly in their chairs, while three Uchiha shinobi stood opposite them. Nearby, a middle-aged man with a swollen, bruised face cowered in the corner.
"Hey! Don't waste your breath. I'm not going to the damn Konoha Police Force station," one of the men sneered.
"We're just following protocol—"
"Shut it! It's the restaurant owner's fault, not ours! Go arrest him!"
"Regardless of fault, you'll need to come with us."
"Hah! We're the victims here, and you're treating us like criminals? You think you can push us around?!"
The tension thickened until all eyes turned to Mirai as he stepped further into the room.
The three Uchiha shinobi immediately straightened up and saluted.
"Mirai-sama!"
The two unruly shinobi, previously full of swagger, stiffened under his gaze.
Ignoring the commotion, Mirai spoke calmly, his voice steady.
"Explain the situation."
Uchiha Yawame felt a sinking sensation but braced himself to respond.
"There was a conflict between these two and the restaurant owner. We were negotiating how to handle the aftermath."
At his words, Mirai's Sharingan flared to life, transforming into the Mangekyō Sharingan. The oppressive aura from his eyes made Yawame struggle to breathe.
"I'll give you one more chance, Yawame," Mirai said coldly. "You either explain the truth, or I'll use these eyes to see it myself."
Feeling the crushing weight of his authority, Yawame reluctantly relented. "These two are Utatane Gentarō and Mitokado Kazashi, the heirs of the Utatane and Mitokado clans, respectively. They came here to eat but forgot their money. When the owner asked them to leave an IOU, they refused. A dispute broke out, and after drinking too much, they assaulted the owner and wrecked the place."
Smack! Smack! Smack!
The sharp sound of slaps echoed through the room as Mirai's hand struck Yawame and his two subordinates. The three bowed their heads silently, enduring the humiliation.
Outside, the crowd erupted in whispers.
"Why is Mirai-sama hitting his own men?"
"Are you dense? Didn't you hear who those two troublemakers are?"
"What do you mean?"
"The Mitokado and Utatane clan heads are advisors to the Hokage—only second to the Third Hokage in authority!"
"Ah... no wonder they're so arrogant. Even someone like Mirai-sama wouldn't dare cross the Hokage's inner circle."
"Hah! Is this the mighty Uchiha? What a joke."
Hearing the murmurs, Mitarashi Anko, who was in the crowd, grew anxious.
"That idiot! Why did he charge in so recklessly? He should've just ignored it. Now, with all these villagers watching, if he chooses to back down, the Uchiha's—and his own—reputation will be in ruins."
But if Mirai pressed forward and arrested those two, he'd risk provoking the Hokage's advisors. Either way, he was trapped in an impossible situation.
"Mirai-senpai... you're still too young," Anko muttered.
Inside the restaurant, the once-nervous Utatane Gentarō and Mitokado Kazashi regained their confidence.
"Mirai," Gentarō jeered, "your subordinates clearly need better discipline. They almost caused trouble for the Uchiha."
"Exactly," Kazashi chimed in. "We're being generous today. Just make the owner apologize, and we'll forget about this."
Mirai's gaze remained fixed on Yawame.
Unlike the others, Yawame knew Mirai's true nature. He was a hawk through and through—unyielding, even toward the Third Hokage. These two fools had no idea who they were dealing with.
After a moment of silence, Mirai spoke again. "From what I've gathered, the facts are clear. Arrest these two troublemakers and take them to the Konoha Police Force station."
Yamame's heart sank as he tried to reason. "Mirai-sama, offending the Hokage's faction over something so trivial isn't wise. Even Fugaku-sama wouldn't—"
Smack!
Another slap silenced him.
"I am the leader of the Konoha Police Force," Mirai said icily. "Your only job is to follow my orders."
Reluctantly, Yawame clenched his fists and led his subordinates toward Gentarō and Kazashi.
"Uchiha Mirai! You dare lay a hand on us?!" Kazashi shouted, finally grasping the severity of the situation.
Mirai laughed mockingly, turning to the onlookers. "They're asking if I dare? Let me tell you something..."
His voice echoed powerfully: "I, Uchiha Mirai, uphold fairness and justice. No criminal escapes me!"
Thud! Thud!
With two swift strikes, Gentarō and Kazashi doubled over, blood dripping from their lips as they clutched their stomachs.
"Take them away!" Mirai ordered.
"Yes!" his subordinates responded.
