Naruto: Starting with the power of two systems

Then their own child would probably really have to be imprisoned for so many years.

This is no joke.

Ryosuke ignored them; it was just a dog-eat-dog situation now.

Instead, he looked at the passersby around him.

"A reward of 5000 taels will be given to anyone who witnessed what happened."

The passersby around were immediately excited. 5000 taels of silver was a good income. One of them was the first to stand up and shout it out.

"I happened to see what happened. It was these kids who threw stones at Naruto first."

"Then Naruto retaliated with small stones, and finally the big boy picked up a large rock and threw it, which hit Naruto on the head."

Although he didn't like the fox spirit, it was still quite good if it could earn him some money.

The tall child's father was also furious.

"You are talking nonsense."

The passerby who stepped forward retorted.

“I’m not making this up. If you don’t believe me, ask the people around you and see if they think I’m talking nonsense.”

The father looked around at the passersby, but none of them shook their heads.

The bad feeling in my heart grew stronger.

A smile appeared on Ryosuke's face.

"Now that the matter has been investigated and clarified, the tall boy will be sentenced to five years in prison, and the other two to one year in prison."

"Next, I would like to ask the clan leaders to escort them to the Uchiha Guard prison."

Everyone present was stunned; they were actually serious.

This tall boy was actually imprisoned for five years.

The other two, who didn't hurt anyone, were also imprisoned for a year. That's too harsh.

The tall father immediately sought the Dao.

“Our family is willing to pay the medical expenses, hoping for a lighter sentence, as this is far too harsh.”

The other two parents were also dissatisfied with the ruling against their children, and expressed similar sentiments.

"Our child didn't harm Naruto, so why is he being sentenced so harshly?"

Even the four clan leaders present frowned; this was indeed too serious, which was why the Uchiha clan had previously incurred the village's ostracism.

Ryosuke snorted at this moment.

"Weren't those two kids accomplices? That's why they were sentenced to one year each."

"As for this tall kid, he actually dared to lie. Does he really think it's fun to fool the guards?"

The tall boy's father was also furious. He believed that the other party must have disliked them and had given such a heavy sentence to protect that fox demon.

They couldn't help but look at the four clan leaders behind Ryosuke.

“Nara clan chief, you must stand up for us! This is an area under your control; you are the ones in charge.”

“Although my child did make a mistake, it’s impossible to sentence him to five years in prison. That’s too harsh. What will my child be like when he gets out?”

I find it hard to accept that this sentence will put my child in prison for five years, and I wonder how much suffering he will endure inside.

It's definitely not a good place inside.

Nara Shikaku also felt compassion and said...

"Uchiha Ryosuke, isn't this punishment too harsh?"

Although this is their territory, the Uchiha clan could probably take it back if they wanted to.

Therefore, there is no need to be tough on this person; instead, we should negotiate.

Perhaps through negotiation, the other party can change their judgment and obtain a clear count.

Although he also believed the other party was guilty and that a few months in jail would suffice.

Chapter 167 Naruto's True Identity

Uchiha Ryosuke looked at Nara Shikaku and asked in return.

"Can't you see the terrible state Naruto is in now?"

"His face was covered in blood. He was so young and his body was so fragile. He was hit so hard that he almost died. This is murder. Do you think five years is a long time?"

"If you still have objections, put yourself in their shoes. If your own child was hit by such a large rock and stood in front of you with a face covered in blood, what would you do?"

Nara Shikaku was stunned. Given the question asked, if someone would dare to do this to their son, they must have beaten the culprit half to death to feel better.

Seeing that the other party had nothing to say, Ryosuke also spoke up.

"Sentencing someone to five years for such a crime is probably too lenient. This is murder. Don't let him off just because he's a child. If he's not severely punished, what will happen when he grows up?"

The Nara clan chief was somewhat shaken; it was indeed the case.

If someone so young dares to throw such a big rock at others, what will they be like when they grow up? They'll probably be using knives.

However, at this point, Nara Shikaku brought up his suggestion again.

After all, what Uchiha Ryosuke said were hypothetical scenarios. If the injured person were their child, it wouldn't be fair for them to enforce the law. Of course, they would show extra care for their child, which seriously affected their judgment.

"Ryosuke, this is still too heavy. How about we change the largest one to one year, just as an education? Otherwise, five years in prison will have a big impact on him."

Ryosuke, however, frowned.

“If the impact is significant, then it’s not something law enforcement should be concerned with.”

"Prisoners should think about the consequences of their actions."

“We should protect the interests of the victims, not the interests of the perpetrators; that would be a complete misjudgment.”

Nara Shikaku was also stunned, and he couldn't help but realize the truth.

Indeed, he seems to be protecting the interests of the prisoners, but not Naruto's rights.

The way to protect his rights is naturally to severely punish the criminal and seek justice for him.

He then stopped speaking.

The other three clan leaders witnessed this situation.

They stopped pleading for the prisoner.

If you plead for that prisoner again, wouldn't that be putting yourself in the prisoner's shoes and thinking about their situation?

This is really a bit ridiculous.

The tall, unruly boy's father saw that none of the four clan chiefs pleaded for his son.

He felt utterly helpless; who in the village could possibly stand against the Uchiha clan now?

But for the sake of her child, she couldn't help but say it.

"The current severe sentence is different from the previous one; it was not carried out in accordance with the regulations."

Ryosuke, however, said with a cold laugh.

"Do you think the rules won't change? Regulations aren't static."

"And now I also want to announce two things to you."

"The first thing is that in the future, if any cases of child bullying are verified, we will arrest them all and put them in jail. We will not let them off easily just because they are children."

"We should give more care to orphans, not bully them."

Does anyone object?

"Those who object can leave Konoha Village. My guards do not welcome people like that."

Hearing his words, no one dared to object, and even thought they were all quite right, but they felt a little uncomfortable because the latter half of his sentence was unpleasant.

The Uchiha clan is still the same Uchiha clan, extremely arrogant.

The four clan leaders also agreed with what the other party said. Orphans are already pitiful enough, and it would be too tragic if they were to be bullied as well.

The second half of the sentence was too harsh, but given the other party's current strength, they certainly had the right to say that.

None of the four of them would be foolish enough to stand up and resist.

Seeing that no one objected, Ryosuke spoke up.

"I'm very satisfied. It seems everyone still has some conscience."

The group felt helpless; this was because the other side was forcing them to have a conscience.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with normal roughhousing between children; this was just an extreme case.

On the periphery of the crowd, a woman dressed in a nun's habit and wearing glasses looked at Uchiha Ryosuke with a piercing gaze.

This man actually sympathizes with orphans; perhaps we could try asking him for sponsorship.

The Uchiha clan was large and powerful; supporting an orphanage was more than enough for them.

This person was none other than Yakushi Nonou. She had completed the task given to her by Danzo, and Danzo naturally sent her a month's worth of funds for the orphanage.
