Chapter 75 Crime Scene
Chapter 75 Crime Scene
As soon as Sasuke said those words, Fugaku and Itachi both looked at him with surprise in their eyes.
Despite the probing gazes of the two men, Sasuke had his own plans in mind.
He agreed to go to the police department not entirely because of his father's tough stance.
He had a deeper consideration.
The police department is currently short-staffed and extremely busy due to the Chunin Exams. As key figures in the police department, my father and brother must be spending all their time there handling various matters.
If I don't go with them, wouldn't I be wasting this great opportunity to learn from Nissan?
It is undeniable that Itachi is the strongest user of the Sharingan that I have encountered so far.
He desperately wanted to become stronger, to unlock the secrets of the Sharingan, and to possess the power to change his destiny.
And Itachi is undoubtedly his best teacher at this stage.
If I go with him to the police department, I can stay by Itachi's side legitimately, observe and learn up close, and take the opportunity to ask him about various training techniques and application tips for the Sharingan. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?
As for those so-called dangers...
As long as I can become stronger, what do a few risks matter!
Rather, if there were real danger, it would suit his purposes perfectly.
He needs more experience!
With this in mind, Sasuke's eyes became even more determined.
Seeing that Sasuke had agreed and was so determined, Itachi had to temporarily suppress his worries and hesitations.
He gave Sasuke a deep look, as if trying to read something from his younger brother's eyes.
Finally, after a moment's thought, he nodded and said, "Since Sasuke is willing, then let him come with me. I happen to need a partner for patrolling. With Sasuke by my side, I can look after him and ensure his safety."
Seeing this, Fugaku's face showed a hint of satisfaction, and the corners of his tightly clenched lips turned up slightly. He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Yes, that's good. Sasuke, now that you've made up your mind, don't slack off. Follow your brother's instructions carefully and don't bring shame to our Uchiha clan."
"Yes, Father!" Sasuke straightened his back and answered loudly.
And so, the matter was settled.
After a simple breakfast, Sasuke, under his mother's worried gaze, followed Itachi out to the police department to begin his first "patrol mission".
As soon as Sasuke stepped out of his house and onto the flagstone street leading to the bustling center of the Uchiha clan's territory, he was stunned by the sight before him, almost thinking he had gone to the wrong place.
Yesterday, he was just a moviegoer.
I've only seen a distant, blurry view of Konoha Village, and I haven't yet had a truly vivid or direct experience of its extraordinary liveliness and prosperity.
However, today, when he actually stepped into this world that was both familiar and strange, he truly realized that there were just too many people here!
The streets were packed with people, and all sorts of sounds mingled together, creating a noisy and bustling sound that almost drowned out the entire village.
Shops lined the streets, banners fluttered in the breeze, and the air was filled with the aroma of various foods and the excited chatter of people. It was incredibly lively, several times more prosperous than the Konoha Village in his memory!
Moreover, Sasuke keenly noticed that most of the people in the bustling crowd were outsiders dressed in strange clothes and wearing headbands from other ninja villages.
Their accents varied, and their expressions reflected the curiosity and excitement of newcomers.
No wonder the police department is so short-handed. The pressure of maintaining order in the village in the face of such a large and complex flow of people is unimaginable.
Sasuke followed behind Itachi, struggling to navigate through the crowded throng while curiously observing everything.
He also took this rare opportunity to ask Itachi, who was standing next to him, many questions about the Sharingan.
"Nii-san, besides copying ninjutsu and seeing the opponent's movements, are there any other powerful uses for the Sharingan in battle?"
"Can the Sharingan's perceptive abilities truly see through all genjutsu?"
"After awakening the Sharingan, how can I more effectively control chakra output and extend the Sharingan's usage time?"
……
From the conditions for activating the Sharingan, the differences in abilities represented by different tomoe forms, and the practical application of basic abilities, to deeper levels of precise chakra control, and how to maximize the advantages of the Sharingan in battle...
Sasuke unleashed all the questions that had been accumulating in his mind for so long.
Itachi patiently answered all his questions, explaining things in a clear and easy-to-understand way.
Occasionally, he would also provide on-site guidance based on specific situations encountered during patrols, allowing Sasuke to understand more intuitively.
Sasuke listened with rapt attention, feeling that his horizons had been broadened and he had benefited immensely.
Every word Itachi said was insightful and to the point, which deepened his understanding of this bloodline limit.
Sasuke greedily absorbed this knowledge, yearning to unleash the full power of the Sharingan like his brother.
The two patrolled the village's main road twice, carefully inspecting all the important areas and crowded places, and were preparing to move on to the next area to continue their patrol.
Suddenly, a member of the police department came running from the street corner, panting heavily.
He ran up to Itachi, saluted, and said urgently, "Captain Itachi! Something terrible has happened! We've found several... several faceless ninja corpses in the forest outside the village!"
Upon hearing this, Itachi's gaze sharpened slightly, and a glint of sharpness flashed in his previously calm eyes.
He glanced discreetly at the somewhat unfamiliar police officer in front of him and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? I don't think I've seen you in the police department before."
The member appeared to be in his early twenties, a young man with neat short gray hair and thin-rimmed glasses perched on his nose.
Faced with the scrutiny of Itachi, the head of the police force, he explained methodically, "Captain Itachi, the police force is currently under severe manpower shortage due to the Chunin Exams. I was specially transferred from another department by the Fourth Hokage to assist with the work."
"The body was found in the outer area of the Forbidden Forest east of Konoha Village."
Itachi nodded, asked no further questions, and said to Sasuke and the police officer, "Let's go check it out right away."
The group immediately set off, quickening their pace and heading towards the forest outside the village.
Before long, they arrived at their destination.
It was a relatively secluded clearing in the woods, surrounded by tall and dense trees. Sunlight filtered through the layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
Sure enough, in the center of the open space lay several ninja corpses.
The corpses were all wearing the same Kusagakure-style combat uniforms, and Kusagakure ninja headbands on their foreheads.
What is most shocking is that the faces of these victims had all been cruelly cut off with some extremely sharp weapon, leaving only a bloody, mangled hole, and even the bare bones could be seen.
