Chapter 396 The Excited White Mouse

Police Department Building.

Before dawn, Uchiha Yatsuho, sporting two enormous dark circles under his eyes, was already sitting behind the desk of the head of the criminal investigation department.

He picked up the iced coffee that had been prepared for him on the table and took a big gulp. The bitter taste slid down his esophagus, barely dispelling a bit of his drowsiness.

"Section Chief Yashiro, this is the case file for the bar fight that resulted in someone being disabled early this morning."

What bad luck! I had just fallen asleep when I was notified of a task. Although the matter had been handled by my subordinates according to procedure, as the section chief, I still needed to know the situation.

After all, the security situation in Konoha has improved a lot now, and criminal cases are rare, which makes Captain Fugaku take criminal offenses very seriously.

After dismissing his subordinate who had given the report, Yatsushiro slumped back in his chair, staring at the ceiling.

"It's been half a year..."

He counted on his fingers, "Since taking over the security coordination for that damned Chunin Exams, I haven't had a single day off in a full 182 days!"

Back then, Uchiha Hachimoku was a ruthless character who killed without blinking an eye on the battlefield, but what happened to him now?

There's always so much to do, I even have to squeeze in time to feed the cats.

After dozing off at the table for a while, Yashiro suddenly woke up with a start.

"No way, I absolutely have to ask the captain for a day off! Even if it's just for one day, I'm going to soak in a hot spring and sleep like a log!"

Yashiro stood up, checked the time, and realized that the captain should have arrived at the police department by now.

He straightened his police uniform and strode confidently toward the captain's office on the top floor.

"Knock knock knock".

"Enter."

Pushing open the door, I saw Fugaku Uchiha sitting in that large leather chair, reading a document in his hand.

"Captain, I'm here to report on the security situation this week." Yashiro walked to the table and stood up straight.

"Okay, go ahead." Fugaku didn't even look up. Ever since Shikaku was transferred away, he'd been dealing with those annoying documents again.

The eighth generation skillfully reported the security data, the results of handling emergencies, and the arrangements for the following week.

After finishing his report, Yashiro took a deep breath and put on a weak expression.

"Captain, there's one more thing. Due to the long hours and high intensity of work, I feel mentally and physically exhausted. So... I'd like to request a few days off."

When he said those words, Yashiro was already mentally prepared to face Fugaku's cold, poker-faced rejection.

After all, the previous times he asked for a vacation, Fugaku either used the excuse of the village's current security pressure to persuade him, or used the grand principle that the honor of the Uchiha needed him to protect to convince him.

He can even guess what Fugaku is going to say next.

"Yashiro, these are turbulent times..."

"Can."

A deep, calm voice interrupted Yashiro's inner monologue.

"Yes, I know these are turbulent times, and I don't necessarily need to take a break... Wait!"

Yatsushiro suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide like saucers, staring at Fugaku with disbelief.

"Captain, what...did you just say?"

Fugaku put down the documents in his hand, picked up his teacup and took a sip. Looking at Yashiro's astonished expression, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I said, 'Okay. I've approved your leave.'"

"Really...really?!"

Yashiro was so excited that his voice cracked and he almost burst into tears.

"Captain, you've finally had a change of heart! I thought you'd been infected by that devil Nishikawa Tetsu and were trying to drain me dry!"

Fugaku's lips twitched, and he coughed twice to cover his embarrassment.

"Ahem... Yashiro, of course I know you've been working hard lately. I'm not Tetsu, how could I not be considerate of my subordinates?"

Fugaku paused, his tone becoming somewhat meaningful.

"However, this holiday comes with conditions."

"Conditions?" Yashiro pricked up his ears warily.

However, as long as it's not excessive, he can generally agree to it.

Fugaku stood up, walked up to Yatsushiro, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke in an unprecedentedly kind tone.

"Yashiro, you've been by my side for so many years. I've seen your strength and loyalty."

"So, when I thought of you, you were the first person I thought of when I learned that there was a secret training program in the village to enhance the Sharingan."

Upon hearing this, the joy on Yashiro's face froze instantly, his pupils contracted sharply, and he reflexively jumped back a large step.

"etc!"

Yashiro watched Fugaku warily, his hands clasped in front of his chest as if ready to draw his sword at any moment.

"Captain, this special training you mentioned... could it be another scheme you and that little fox Nishikawa Tetsu concocted together?"

Yashiro's voice trembled slightly, clearly recalling that extremely painful memory.

Last time, he was fooled by these two. In the illusion, he watched helplessly as the police department turned into ruins and Danzo held that blindingly bright golden electromagnetic cannon to Nishikawa Tetsu's head.

He never wanted to experience that kind of extreme despair and anger again in his life.

"Captain, to be honest, my three-tomoe Sharingan is already maxed out. You saw it last time, my talent is lacking! If you keep tying me to this chair, even if you slaughter your entire clan in the illusion, I still won't be able to activate the Kaleidoscope!"

Yashiro tearfully voiced his accusations.

"I haven't had a day off in over a hundred days, please have mercy on me and let me go. I still want to stay alive so I can feed Ahua for a few more days..."

"What kind of person do you take me for?"

Fugaku's face hardened, and he lowered his voice, speaking mysteriously:

"Recently, the scientific research institute has developed a high-grade eye drop that allows the Sharingan to be used without injury. With special training using this drop, releasing genjutsu with the Sharingan will be as simple as drinking water, with negligible strain on the eyes!"

"What?!"

Yashiro gasped, his eyes, which had been somewhat cloudy from exhaustion, instantly brightening.

Using the Sharingan without taking damage?!

This is an irresistible and fatal temptation for any Uchiha clan member!

"Captain! Is...is this real?!" Yashiro's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"Of course it's true."

Fugaku spoke with some uncertainty, but he continued anyway.

"Would I lie to you? I'll grant you a week's leave, just in time to be back before the Five Kage Summit. During your leave, you just need to spend a little time each day in Orochimaru's lab assisting with the clinical testing and data recording of the potion."

"This is not only paid leave, but also a generous daily nutrition allowance."

Upon hearing the name "Orochimaru," Yashiro's initial enthusiasm instantly cooled.

"Go...go to Lord Orochimaru's laboratory?"

Yashiro swallowed hard, the image of Orochimaru's pale, cold face involuntarily flashing through his mind, making him feel somewhat apprehensive.

"Captain, is there any danger? Lord Orochimaru..." Yashiro hesitated.

"Yashiro! Are you questioning me?"

Fugaku's face darkened, and he adopted the authority of a clan leader.

"Director Orochimaru is a law-abiding and conscientious scientist. Those potions have already been tested on ordinary volunteers and have no side effects! Sending you is to give you special training and improve your strength!"

"If you don't want to go, there are plenty of people who would love to. Shisui and Hima were just telling me the other day that they wanted to improve their eye power."

Upon hearing this, Yashiro panicked. It was one thing for Hima to be strong, but Shisui was already very strong at his age. If he got any stronger, how could he, as the section chief, maintain his position?

"No, no, no! Captain, I'll go! I'll go, okay?!"

Yadai gritted his teeth and decided to go all out!

It's just a trip to Orochimaru's lab, isn't it?

We're all from the same village, and Captain Fugaku vouched for us, so we can't really treat him like a guinea pig and dissect him, can we?

"Captain, don't worry, I promise to cooperate with Lord Orochimaru's research!" Yashiro stood at attention and loudly promised.

"very good."

Fugaku nodded in satisfaction.

"Then you can start your vacation tomorrow after you finish handing over your work today. Remember to report to Dean Orochimaru's laboratory on time."

"yes!"

Yashiro walked out of the captain's office in high spirits, his steps even becoming much lighter.

"Hahaha! Paid leave, nutritional allowance, and most importantly, I can use the Sharingan without injury!"

"The captain really cares about me; that's much better than that devil Nishikawa Tetsu!"
