Uchiha Yamakaze looked at his captain, lost in thought.
This was no longer just his superior.
This was the true Captain of the Uchiha Police Force.
"Captain… what's wrong with the Cloud Village envoys?"
"You seem unusually concerned."
Qianyu shook his head.
"How is Aoki?"
Yamakaze smiled from the heart.
"He's much better. Still unconscious, but the doctors say he's out of danger."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared come see you."
"That's good."
Qianyu finally relaxed.
"Captain… thank you."
"Don't say pointless things."
Yamakaze scratched his head.
"…Right."
"But this whole incident really was because Aoki and I were too young. Too naïve. We fell right into those bastards' trap."
Qianyu's voice hardened.
"I taught you never to blame yourselves.
Blame the evil."
"They plotted meticulously. You can't stay guarded forever."
"Yes… I understand."
Yamakaze hesitated.
"Captain… did you really awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan?"
"Yes."
"Damn… I really wish I could see it in battle someday…"
Qianyu didn't elaborate.
After a pause, Yamakaze finally spoke what had been on his mind.
"Captain… since you're already this strong… why not just break with them completely?"
"Shisui… and the others…"
Qianyu understood immediately.
"Yamakaze. I told you—I don't see you as subordinates."
"I see you as those who will inherit my will."
Yamakaze nodded firmly.
"Then… please teach us to think."
Qianyu spoke calmly.
"I have power. But that doesn't mean the Uchiha clan has power."
"One man can dominate the shinobi world—if he's strong enough."
"But I'm not at that level."
"Not even Shisui can be guaranteed."
Yamakaze frowned.
"That traitor is really that strong?"
"Never underestimate your enemy."
"Shisui's fire style, shurikenjutsu, Flame Flash Sword Body Technique, Body Flicker—
and above all, the Mangekyō genjutsu of both eyes…"
"And beyond that—"
"He likely possesses the ultimate Uchiha power."
"Susanoo."
Yamakaze's face went pale.
"That legendary thing?!"
"Yes."
"Otherwise, why would Sarutobi go to such lengths to recruit him?"
Qianyu continued calmly.
"Even if I fight him to the death, that's different from the Uchiha fighting the entire village."
"If that happens, I cannot protect everyone."
"At best, mutual destruction."
"At worst—total annihilation."
Yamakaze finally understood.
"So… what is your plan, Captain?"
Qianyu shook his head.
"You think everything I do is for the Uchiha."
"That's not my ultimate goal."
"My ultimate goal…"
"Is a world where justice exists."
"A world where good is rewarded, evil punished."
"Where the innocent don't live in fear."
"Where morality and law mean something."
"Not this rotten shinobi world—
where humans are worse than beasts."
Yamakaze was stunned.
"…Can such a world really exist?"
Qianyu replied quietly.
"I don't know."
"But nothing will stop me from walking toward it."
"Nothing."
Yamakaze hesitated.
"Captain… people say you love killing."
Qianyu shook his head.
"Then they're wrong."
"If I truly loved killing, there would be no survivors in this prison."
"This world is a cancer."
"And I am the scalpel."
"If it survives the surgery, good."
"If it dies…"
"Then we build a new world atop its corpse."
