Chapter 61

While Kakashi was hurrying toward the Hokage Building, the village's combat tournament had also reached its climax. Practically all of the rioters who had gathered earlier at the gate of the Military Police Force to pressure the leadership had been rounded up, leaving only a few disguised as rioters by the private soldiers of the two clans still at large. Their resistance had also resulted in some injuries among the civilian ninjas, but under the full-scale pursuit of the Military Police Force, it was only a matter of time before these individuals were captured. Civilians living closer to the Military Police Force could easily see through their windows as members of the force dragged rioters, beaten to the state of dead dogs, toward the headquarters. Terrified, they kept their doors and windows tightly shut, not daring to make a peep. Meanwhile, in Fugaku's office, Uchiha Douhuan was drinking tea cup after cup with Uchiha Fugaku and Aburame Shibi, having even detained the ANBU members who had come to summon him to the Hokage Building.
