Chapter 1: What Happened to the Konoha Police Force!? (2/2)
Wakaho spoke with a serious expression.
"My brother is right!"
Obito also puffed out his chest, looking proud.
"..."
Teacher Daiki felt a headache coming on.
"You don't need to do anything! Just stay put and behave!" Teacher Daiki finally couldn't hold back and scolded.
"This is a ninja school, not a place for major criminals. There's no need to bring the Konoha Police Force's ways here!"
As soon as Teacher Daiki finished speaking, he felt something was off.
It wasn't that there was anything wrong with what he said; he just wanted the two troublemakers to behave.
The main issue was Wakaho's reaction...
"Teacher!"
"What did you say about the Konoha Police Force!?"
Wakaho's expression suddenly turned cold, and he took a big step forward, confronting Daiki!
"Since the founding of Konoha, the Konoha Police Force has been dedicated to the village's security and has never slacked off for a moment!"
"Does the teacher have any opinions on the Konoha Police Force?"
"Or do you have a problem with the Uchiha clan?"
Wakaho's voice grew louder, and his gaze became more dangerous.
The other teachers in the office looked over in surprise.
This first-grade student... was he scolding the homeroom teacher?
And on the first day of school!
Even the other teachers were surprised, let alone Daiki, who was stunned.
"I..."
"I will report this to the clan leader."
Teacher Daiki had barely uttered a word when Wakaho cut him off.
"I will inform the clan leader that Teacher Daiki, who is responsible for teaching at the Ninja Academy, has a severe prejudice against the Uchiha clan!"
"The teachers at the Ninja Academy were personally selected by the Hokage, right?"
"So, are the other teachers the same? Does the Hokage have a problem with the Uchiha..."
"Enough!"
Seeing Wakaho's words becoming more outrageous, Daiki swiftly moved, hurriedly covering Wakaho's mouth.
He then signaled to a few younger teachers in the office.
The younger teachers understood immediately, quickly left the office, and closed the door behind them.
After confirming the door was closed, Daiki looked at Wakaho again.
The boy's eyes were calm and serious.
But having dealt with students at the Ninja Academy for over a decade, Daiki could see the cunning hidden deep in the boy's eyes...
At that moment, Teacher Daiki realized he had been played.
Those alarming words were just a cover...
To divert attention from the serious incident of beating someone to the hospital?
This kid is so cunning!
"So... they were seriously injured by you, weren't they?"
Daiki finally released Wakaho, speaking with a headache.
"The victim is Obito, teacher," Wakaho emphasized.
"I know..." Daiki rubbed his temples again. "You acted righteously to protect your brother; you did nothing wrong."
Given the previous situation, how could Daiki dare say anything like, "Fighting is wrong no matter what"?
"My big brother is amazing. He did nothing wrong!" Obito also chimed in in support.
Teacher Daiki's headache worsened.
"In any case, you two stay in school and behave. How this matter will be handled... I will report it truthfully."
Daiki stressed the words "truthfully."
"Besides that, there's something else we need Teacher Daiki's help with," Wakaho raised his hand.
"Hmm?" Teacher Daiki raised an eyebrow. The boy raising his hand like this finally looked a bit like a student.
"Our lunches were spilled during the fight. Please inform their parents and demand compensation."
Wakaho said seriously, "Additionally, there's the cost of Obito's beating, mental damages, my chakra expenditure, and the cost of taking them to the hospital..."
As he spoke, ignoring Daiki's increasingly gloomy expression, Wakaho raised two fingers.
"And for the mental damages, please count it as two portions. I can let it slide, but Grandma will definitely be heartbroken seeing Obito like this."
"Grandma is the most important person to Obito and me, and even Clan Leader Fugaku respects her greatly."
"If she's heartbroken, the cost will be... high.
