Chapter 126: Widely Acclaimed
---
Sakurai Hideaki narrowed his eyes, looking at this troublemaker who stepped forward to provoke. Some time ago, while Uchiha Douhuan and Kakashi were busy handling matters in the Fire Capital, this person had been quite restless in the Security Department's prison.
Relying on having received some ninja education previously and possessing a bit of chakra, he acted as a prison bully. At that time, most Security Department members had gone to the Fire Capital with Uchiha Douhuan and Kakashi. With insufficient staff left guarding the prison, they were managed in a semi-free-range state; as long as they didn't cause major trouble or attempt to escape, everything was largely left to them.
So, during that period, this group of troublemakers really did enjoy a comfortable time relying on brute force.
To the extent that these people had started to forget the taste of the baton again.
Sakurai Hideaki sneered coldly, suddenly lunging forward, kicking the man squarely in the chest and knocking him to the ground. The surrounding Security Department members swarmed forward, helping them thoroughly recall the taste of the baton. This troublemaker named Yamamoto Ryota was given special attention.
"Hey, Naoki, I remember your summoning beast is a bear, right?" Sakurai Hideaki, after delivering a round of the Uchiha Osteopathy Package to this fellow, turned and spoke to a Security Department member beside him.
"Yes, Captain Hideaki, what is it?" replied Sanada Naoki nearby. When he first graduated, by a stroke of luck, he signed a summoning contract with a small bear that had gained chakra through mutation. Originally, the strength of this man and bear pair was mediocre, but after joining the Security Department, he gained the opportunity to train with the Inuzuka clan. With the help of several Inuzuka clan members, he developed some man-bear combination ninjutsu, and his strength advanced by leaps and bounds.
"Let your partner come out and get some exercise. I'll treat it to honey afterwards," Sakurai Hideaki said.
Sanada Naoki nodded, performed the Summoning Technique, and summoned a giant bear that stood nearly three meters tall.
After the man and bear exchanged a few words, the giant bear patted its chest, allowing Sanada Naoki to loop a rope around its body.
Subsequently, several Security Department members also took action, attaching the other end of the rope to Yamamoto Ryota, who had already endured a round of Security Department osteopathy. Sanada Naoki patted his partner Big Bear's rear, and the large bear let out a roar, dragging Yamamoto Ryota wildly across the training ground.
Yamamoto Ryota's miserable screams echoed throughout the entire training ground. Only then did Sakurai Hideaki look at the other Samcheong training members who had finished enjoying the Security Department's osteopathy package: "All units, crawl back to the dormitory!"
Hearing Yamamoto Ryota's screams, the others obediently followed the order, not daring to show the slightest defiance, dutifully getting down and crawling forward.
"Shout the slogan!" Sakurai Hideaki first struck a slower-moving person with his baton, then reprimanded loudly.
"Spirit!"
"Cultivation!"
"Reform!"
"Improvement!"
Soon, this squad of troublemakers returned to their dormitory.
Called a dormitory, it was actually just two rows of large communal sleeping platforms, each capable of accommodating twenty people.
At this moment, on each person's bunk, lay a set of the Samcheong Education Corps' exclusive uniform – a green jumpsuit. After all, since the training plan was adopted from 'that person', the training attire naturally had to follow suit.
"You have thirty seconds to change your clothes!" Sakurai Hideaki stood at the dormitory entrance, his face cold.
Seeing this, everyone scrambled to change clothes. At this point, no one cared whether the clothes were ugly or not.
After changing clothes, Sanada Naoki, wearing a red hat, paced back and forth between the two rows of large sleeping platforms, issuing one command after another.
"Front row, form up!"
"Yes!"
"Rear row, form up!"
"Yes!"
"Down!"
"Yes!"
"Up!"
"Yes!"
"Front row, form up!"
...
This series of commands thoroughly exhausted these troublemakers.
Sanada Naoki looked with satisfaction at the now obedient troublemakers. Just as he was about to nod contentedly, he suddenly heard a somewhat discordant laugh.
Sanada Naoki followed the sound and found it was one person in the ranks. Although standing perfectly straight, his face wore a strangely radiant smile.
"Is this funny?" Sanada Naoki came before this person, looked up at him standing rigidly on the bunk, and asked.
"Funny!" the person being asked replied loudly.
This appearance made Sanada Naoki really want to hit him a couple of times with his baton, but the man had completed every previous action meticulously. Now, wanting to hit him, he couldn't even find a reason.
"Is it really funny?" Sanada Naoki asked again.
"It's really interesting!" the person being asked replied again with a smile.
This person completely stumped Sanada Naoki. He began to suspect he might have hit him too hard earlier and damaged the man's brain.
Sanada Naoki looked around blankly, his lips twitching for a while, before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence after a long pause: "Very good! Training is just this interesting!"
Just then, another person moved his foot slightly. Sanada Naoki, desperate to alleviate the awkwardness, immediately singled this person out and delivered a "foot massage package" to him.
Everyone else in the dormitory was scared into silence. Although these people could usually rely on some brute force to throw their weight around among ordinary villagers, now, facing ninjas who truly wielded power, they finally realized their own weakness and foolishness.
"Listen carefully, all of you," Sakurai Hideaki spoke at this time. "For the next six months, I am ordered to reform the mental state of people like you. Can you follow my orders?"
"Yes!" the crowd in the dormitory quickly replied.
"Too quiet, I can't hear you! Can you follow my orders?" Sakurai Hideaki raised his voice.
"Yes!" The crowd hurriedly increased their volume and shouted back.
"Very good," Sakurai Hideaki nodded.
At this moment, the dormitory door opened, and Yamamoto Ryota, dragged in like a dead dog, was thrown like a piece of rag before everyone.
Sakurai Hideaki also turned and left.
...
Several days later, Guy, who had been specially promoted by Uchiha Douhuan to Jounin Squad Captain, returned to the village after completing the border patrol mission Kakashi had assigned him.
However, as soon as he returned, he saw at the village edge a large group of Samcheong Education Corps members in green jumpsuits running past him while shouting slogans.
Witnessing such a youthful scene within the village brought tears to his eyes.
Although he didn't know exactly what was happening, being his usual impulsive self, he immediately shouted "Youth!" and joined their run.
For the members of the Samcheong Education Corps, this was yet another form of torture.
It was bad enough being worked to death themselves, but now, every morning during their run, a lunatic in a green jumpsuit would run alongside the group shouting "Youth!".
And the instructors from the Security Department were very respectful towards this best friend of the new Chief Captain. Whenever Guy passed by, they would pause their 'education' of insufficiently loyal members.
...
This day, after Uchiha Douhuan finished work at the Hokage Building, he had a small gathering with Kakashi, Inuzuka Tsume, Aburame Shibi, and others.
During this period, the Inuzuka and Aburame clans had finished dividing the assets of the former Utatane and Mitokado clans within the village and had completely replaced their previous ecological niches in the village, becoming major ninja clans second only to the Uchiha, Hyuga, and Sarutobi clans in terms of assets. Their former positions were now occupied by smaller ninja clans like the Gekko, who had contributed significantly during the coup that day.
Sometimes, Inuzuka Tsume couldn't help but marvel: Elder Bone was right. Being cautious in normal times is precisely to have the capital to go all-in when opportunities arise. Choice is often more important than effort.
With sufficient resources for cultivation now available, it wouldn't take many years for their Inuzuka clan to have groups of Jounin as well.
The Aburame clan was even more successful. For them, more funding meant they could cultivate more and stronger insects. With resources, their clan members' strength increased even more rapidly than the Inuzuka clan's.
After three rounds of drinks, the middle-aged people at the gathering, feeling merry, inevitably began to concern themselves with the younger generation's marriage prospects.
Uchiha Douhuan was only seventeen. Although ninja clans within the village and the Land of Fire nobles who had recently moved to the village, if they had daughters of suitable age, all had their eyes on this hot commodity, Uchiha Douhuan's age could serve as a shield. Conversely, Kakashi, being 21 this year, was precisely at the prime age for marriage. Furthermore, his Hatake clan was not particularly populous. Thus, he became the main focus of this private drinking party.
Kakashi found this rather troublesome and could only quickly change the subject:
"Speaking of which, our policy, the Samcheong Education Corps, has quite a good reputation in the village. We've swept away all the dark and evil forces in the village, and the villagers are giving rave reviews," Kakashi remarked.
Isn't that the truth? Those troublemakers who were particularly active before were basically caught in one sweep this time. The few fish that escaped the net last time were also caught by the Security Department during this period and sent inside. The remaining villagers either had ninjas in their families or were good people like Teuchi who peacefully ran their own small businesses. So naturally, the positive reviews came flooding in.
"If you ask me, this should have been done long ago!" Namiashi Raidō also spoke up in agreement at this point. "Those reckless fools even dared to bully the Fourth Hokage's orphaned son! If not for the previous rules, I would have long wanted to grab those guys and teach them a proper lesson!"
"Speaking of which, how has that kid Naruto been lately?" Uchiha Douhuan also asked curiously.
"Eh, that kid has become increasingly mischievous recently. He and Sasuke even started some 'Seven Star Society' at the Ninja Academy. They do nothing proper all day, just skip classes and pull pranks," Kakashi facepalmed upon hearing this. "Iruka has been running back and forth between my place and Fugaku's house quite a lot during this time."
Uchiha Douhuan: ...
"Hehe, kids will be kids; having some energy is a good thing," Uchiha Douhuan chuckled dryly. He hadn't expected Sasuke to be involved in this too.
