The moment Fugaku spoke, the entire Uchiha Police Force was stunned.
"Clan Head, you—"
"This…"
Even Qianyu, still inside the prison, turned his gaze toward Uchiha Fugaku.
"Clan Head… what do you mean by this?"
Fugaku let out a bitter smile.
"Qianyu, you've seen it clearly yourself.
Uchiha Shisui has become the ANBU Commander—he has openly chosen to stand against the Uchiha clan."
"And now… the only person capable of opposing him—
the only one who can alter the fate of our clan…"
"Is you."
Silence spread among the Uchiha.
No one understood Shisui's strength better than they did.
A peerless genius.
The strongest of the clan.
Shisui of the Body Flicker.
Even Fugaku himself was no match for him.
And yet—
Uchiha Qianyu had risen.
And he had awakened the second Mangekyō Sharingan in the clan.
Perhaps…
This truly was destiny.
Qianyu understood immediately.
"But I'm still imprisoned."
Fugaku gave a helpless laugh.
"If you wanted to leave, would that really be difficult for you?"
Qianyu shook his head.
Fugaku sighed.
"Whether you're in prison or not doesn't matter.
You can still be the Police Force Captain."
"As for me… I no longer deserve to be clan head."
Qianyu fell silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.
"Clan Head, you should understand this."
"Once I become the Police Force Captain,
the methods and style of the Police Force—"
"Will change completely."
Fugaku nodded.
"I know."
"And I've already prepared myself."
"Reality has proven it—
you are right."
"Use the authority of the Police Force to carry out the justice you believe in."
"You understand this, don't you?
To enforce justice, power alone is not enough."
"Authority is also a weapon."
Qianyu nodded.
"I understand."
"I accept."
From that moment on—
Uchiha Qianyu officially became the Captain of the Uchiha Police Force.
Fugaku smiled, deeply satisfied.
The future was still uncertain.
The road ahead still dangerous.
But at the very least—
The Uchiha clan had hope once more.
"You really won't leave?" Fugaku asked softly.
Qianyu remained silent.
Fugaku placed the villagers' gifts inside the cell.
"Within three days, I'll make the truth public."
"Mm."
With that, Fugaku led the clan away.
Uchiha Yomichi, along with both Qianyu's former subordinates and those who had not yet followed him, saluted together.
"We're leaving—"
"Captain!"
Qianyu chuckled softly.
Soon, the ANBU prison returned to its usual eerie silence.
As the new ANBU Commander, Shisui left the operative known as 'Rinkaku' to replace Aburame Jianping and take charge of the prison.
Rinkaku and the reorganized guards stared at Qianyu in fear.
They couldn't understand him.
Why didn't he leave?
Qianyu opened his eyes and glanced at them.
"Remove the corpses."
"Clean everything."
Rinkaku and the others were furious—but ultimately obeyed.
After all…
Among the bodies were ANBU members as well.
Qianyu simply continued cultivating.
