Chapter 34 : Senju Hayashi!!
Civilian District
Sarutobi Eisuke led a small group of Police Force through the civilian district, patrolling the area under his jurisdiction.
The vendors and civilians bustled around, sometimes arguing with one another, which made Eisuke frown in displeasure.
"This area is much more chaotic compared to the districts where the larger clans reside," he thought to himself.
Having lived in the noble part of the village for most of his life, Eisuke found the civilian district distasteful. The noisy, disordered city life here made him want to leave as soon as possible.
"Lord Eisuke, this is the civilian area," one of his subordinates explained, walking beside him cautiously. "There are many street vendors around here."
"Let's finish the patrol quickly and get out of here," Eisuke said, his expression dark. Whenever he caught sight of the poor people walking by, he instinctively avoided making eye contact, as if he feared their misfortune might rub off on him.
At his command, the team quickened their pace.
Eisuke made up his mind right then—he would never return to this part of the village. He could leave these inspections to his subordinates.
Better yet, he would stay in his office and train his men. Once the Uchiha lost their influence, he'd seize control of the remaining half of the Police Force.
Suddenly, a loud argument erupted nearby, breaking the uneasy silence.
