The legend of Fifth Uchiha - Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Team 1

The office and prison of the security force building are both located in the Uchiha clan’s territory. In the anime, during the Nine Tails Rebellion, the clan’s territory changed and the security force’s office was also changed.

The security force has three offices in Konoha, because Konoha Village expands in a fan shape from the Hokage building to the village gate.

The security force building is the headquarters of the security team and also an office. The first team has its office here. There is a smaller police office on the left and right sides of the village gate, which houses the second and third teams respectively.

Each squad has seventy people, divided into four squadrons, each squadron has seventeen people, each squadron has four teams, each team has four people, plus the squadron leader, a total of seventeen people.

There are a total of sixty-eight people in the four squadrons, plus the squad leader and deputy squad leader, a total of seventy people in each squad.

The first team is composed of Uchiha elites, all of whom have activated the Sharingan. They govern the upper third of the Konoha Village fan-shaped area.

The second and third teams are in charge of the lower left and right sides of the fan.

A team of more than 200 people is totally insufficient for a ninja village with tens of thousands of residents, most of whom are ninjas or ninja clans from various classes.

Some small ninja clans, although small in size, only have about ten people, but they are still ninja clans after all, and they have blood or bloodline limit connections.

As for some medium-sized ninja clans, which have hundreds of people, most of whom are ninjas, it is feasible to rely on a security force to sanction and suppress them, but it will divert a lot of energy.

If it is a ninja alliance like Ino-Shika-Chō, the guard team is not enough, and they have to involve Uchiha family ninjas to be qualified.

Uchiha Security Force Building, First Squad Office on the second floor.

There were eighteen people sitting in the office, with Uchiha Naraku sitting at the main seat, and below him were the elites of the First Squadron of the First Division.

The First Squadron of the First Division, seventeen people, all of them Three Tomoe Sharingan, seventeen Jōnin, accounting for half of the Jōnin force of the Uchiha clan.

The entire Uchiha clan, with nearly a thousand ninjas, most of them are mid-level Genin, and there are only over thirty Jōnin. Of course, there are reasons why Konoha suppresses the number of Uchiha Jōnin, but even if it is released, Uchiha cannot accommodate more Jōnin to share power.

Jōnin, in any ninja village or clan, have a considerable say. Many small family ninjas do not even have Jōnin-level ninjas.

The ages of these Jōnin varied, the oldest was in his early fifties with many wrinkles on his face, while the youngest was like Uchiha Naraku, who was sixteen years old.

Uchiha Yashiro, an important figure who originally shined in the guard force in the anime, is now shining in the Clan Affairs Department and has not joined the guard force.

The clan affairs office also cannot do without Yashiro. Otherwise, Naraku would have to handle clan affairs himself.

“Ahem, you are all members of the Uchiha clan, the elite of Konoha’s security forces. I have reviewed your profile cards and resumes, and I deeply admire your contributions to Konoha Shinobi.”

“As the leader of the Uchiha, I originally didn’t want to interfere in the affairs of the Guard, but what the Guard is doing really worries me.”

Uchiha Naraku first expressed his recognition and praise for these elites, and then expressed his concern about the development of the security forces.

“Master Patriarch! We, the Konoha Guard Force, maintain the law and order of Konoha, so that our colleagues in Konoha do not have to worry about being attacked in the village. We are recognized by many ninjas. What are you worried about?”

The one who spoke was the ninja in his early fifties, Uchiha Go.

Uchiha Five is a ninja born in the era of Uchiha Madara. He was also a genius of Uchiha when he was young, but now he is in his fifties and his heroism is no longer in his twilight years.

“Haha, in the security force, you don’t have to worry about my identity as the clan leader. In the security force, we only care about our duties, not clan affairs.”

Naraku smiled faintly and distinguished the identities at the same time, meaning that don’t think that I am using my power as the clan leader to get by in the guard team.

“Yes!” Uchiha replied five times.

“Uchiha Five, which ninjas do you mean by recognized by many ninjas? Do you have a specific list?”

The Konoha Guard Force is hated by everyone, but it is also recognized by the village ninjas. This is totally ridiculous.

People are recognizing Uchiha’s strength, not recognizing their identity.

After all, many foreign ninjas have developed experience in fighting Uchiha. In a one-on-one situation, they must escape, and in a two-on-one situation, they must attack the enemy from behind.

It shows that a normal one-on-one fight is not enough to challenge Uchiha who has a powerful Kekkei Genkai Sharingan.

“Uh.” When Uchiha Five was asked by Naraku, several ninjas who had expressed gratitude to him flashed through his mind, but they had no contact in the later period. It was hard to be sure whether they really recognized him.

Ninjas are used to darkness and killing. In many countries, they are regarded as tools and weapons. They have no feelings at all.

Only Konoha emphasizes the will of fire. Compared with other major countries, Konoha is not the worst. After all, it still has Sunagakure and Kirigakure of the Blood Mist to back it up.

“Haha, you can’t think of a specific person who approves it, or you can’t be sure whether others really approve of it, right?”

Naraku chuckled as if he could read minds.

“Lord Naraku, if you don’t allow us to go out on patrol, I’m afraid that all kinds of villagers and vendors have set up stalls in the streets by now. If we don’t drive them away, many ninjas and villagers will complain.”

A young ninja in his early twenties said with some worry.

Uchiha Saburo, 21 years old, Konoha Jōnin, the previous Uchiha genius, Three Tomoe Sharingan, skilled in Fire Style, Genjutsu, Shuriken, a traditional Uchiha ninja elite.

“Your worries are not without reason, but the vendors have a hard life. They are either retired ninjas or ninja family members, or poor villagers who have lost their source of income.”

“There is no need to drive them away. Just designate a special area for them to set up stalls. There is no need to drive them away every day. As for complaints, just bring the complaint letters or the complainants to me.”

The poor villagers who lost their source of income were obviously the families of the ninjas who died in battle, and the pensions had long been spent.

The prices in Konoha Shinobi Village were very high, and the ninjas did not produce anything, but fought for the daimyo of the Land of Fire, and carried out missions for the wealthy merchants, ministers, and rich farmers of the Land of Fire.

From assassinating political opponents and protecting ministers’ safety to helping plow the fields, cleaning up garbage, finding kittens and so on.

There are no ninjas in the family, so he cannot carry out missions to earn commissions, and can only set up stalls in the village to earn a meager income to survive.

Even so, he was still driven away by the powerful Jōnin of Uchiha, which was simply insane.

“This is not a good idea, squad leader. The captain will blame us for not doing our job well.”

Uchiha Saburo frowned and asked softly, they have been doing this kind of work for five or six years, and they have long been accustomed to shouting and acting majestically in front of the villagers.
