Ryosuke, however, did not care about them. Now, it is nothing more than dogs biting dogs. Instead, he looked toward the surrounding passersby.
"Whoever saw the course of events, reward is 5000 ryō."
The surrounding passersby immediately became a little excited. 5000 ryō, that is also a pretty good income. First, there was someone who stood up and shouted.
"I just happened to see the course of events. It was these few children who first threw stones at Naruto."
"Then Naruto used small stones to counterattack. Finally, that big child directly threw a big piece of stone, which just happened to hit Naruto's head."
Although he also did not like the demon fox, being able to earn a sum of money was also quite good.
The tall child's father was also furious. "You are talking nonsense!"
The passerby who stood out, however, retorted back. "I am absolutely not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, ask the people around. See if they think I am talking nonsense or not."
That father indeed looked toward the surrounding passersby, but not a single one shook their head. In his heart, the bad feeling grew stronger and stronger.
Ryosuke's face also had a smile. "Since the matter has already been investigated clearly, then sentence this tall child to five years in prison, and the other two to one year in prison."
"Next, I ask the four clan heads to escort them into the Uchiha Police Force prison."
Everyone present was stunned. They are actually going through with it. That tall child is actually really being locked up for five years.
The other two, who did not injure anyone, were also locked up for a year. This is way too heavy.
The tall child's father immediately pleaded. "Our family is willing to pay for medical expenses, hoping the sentence can be lightened a bit. This is really too heavy."
The other two parents were also dissatisfied with their children's sentence and likewise said, "Our children did not cause any harm to Naruto. Why are they sentenced so heavily?"
Even the four present clan heads also furrowed their brows. This indeed is too heavy, which is why the Uchiha clan previously invited the village's rejection.
At this time, Ryosuke also snorted. "Weren't those two children accomplices? So they were sentenced to one year."
"As for that tall child, he even dared to lie. Does he really think deceiving the Police Force is something fun?"
The tall child's father was also furious in his heart. The other side is definitely displeased with them, and in order to protect that demon fox, he sentenced so heavily.
He could not help but look toward the four clan heads behind Ryosuke.
"Clan Head Nara, you must stand up for us. This is your jurisdiction. You are the ones in charge here."
"Although my child indeed was wrong, it is also impossible to sentence five years of imprisonment. This is really too heavy. After coming out, what will my child become?"
In his heart, he absolutely could not accept it. This sentence makes his child be locked up in prison for five years. Inside, how much suffering must he endure?
Inside is absolutely not a good place.
Nara Shikaku also gave rise to compassion and said, "Uchiha Ryosuke, isn't this sentence too heavy?"
Although this is their jurisdiction, if the Uchiha clan wants to take it back, they probably can take it back. So there is no need to be tough on this person, but rather to negotiate.
Maybe through negotiation, they can get the other side to lessen the sentence.
Although he also thought the other side was guilty, a few months of imprisonment would be enough.
However, Uchiha Ryosuke looked at Nara Shikaku and instead asked back. "Haven't you all seen Naruto's miserable state now?"
"His face is full of blood, such a young age, such a fragile body, suffering such a heavy blow, almost dying. This is outright murder. Do you think five years is still long?"
"If you still have objections, then switch perspectives. If your own child was hit by such a big piece of stone, full of blood standing in front of you, what would you do?"
Nara Shikaku was also stunned. If the premise is according to the other side's question, daring to do this to their son, then definitely they would beat the perpetrator half-paralyzed to relieve their anger.
Ryosuke saw that the other side had nothing to say and also said, "A sentence of five years for such a crime might even be considered light. This is a crime of murder. Don't let them off lightly just because they are children. If they are not severely punished, when they grow up, what will happen then?"
Clan Head Nara's heart was also a bit shaken. This is indeed the case.
At such a young age, they already dare to use such a big stone to hit people. When they grow up, won't they take up knives?
However, at this time, Nara Shikaku still brought up another suggestion.
After all, what Uchiha Ryosuke said is a hypothetical situation. If the victim were their child, and they enforced the law, it wouldn't be considered fair law enforcement. Toward their own children, of course, they would be protective, severely affecting judgment.
"Ryosuke, this is still too heavy. How about the tallest one be changed to one year instead? Just as education, otherwise, imprisoning for five years will greatly affect him."
Ryosuke, however, frowned. "A great impact, that is not something law enforcers should consider."
"Criminals, when committing acts, should think of the consequences in advance. We should protect the victims' rights, not protect the criminals' rights. Otherwise, doesn't that mess up priorities?"
Nara Shikaku was also stunned, and his heart couldn't help but realize. Indeed, he now seems to be protecting the criminal's rights but is not protecting Naruto's rights.
The way to protect his rights, of course, is to heavily sentence the criminals and get justice for him.
So he no longer spoke. And the other three clan heads, seeing such a situation, also no longer pleaded for that criminal. If they continued pleading for that criminal, wouldn't that mean they were putting themselves in the criminal's shoes?
This is really somewhat laughable.
That tall troublemaking child's father, seeing that all four clan heads did not plead for his son, was also utterly helpless. Now, who in the village can resist the Uchiha clan?
But for the sake of his child, he still couldn't help but say, "Now, this heavy sentencing is different from previous punishments and was not done according to the regulations."
Ryosuke, however, sneered and said, "You think regulations won't change? Ordinances are not unchanging."
"Moreover, now I have to announce two things to everyone."
"The first is, from now on, as long as bullying incidents like this are investigated and confirmed, every one caught, every one imprisoned. No one will be let off just because they are children."
"For orphans, we should give more care, not bullying."
"Does anyone oppose? Those who oppose can leave Konoha Village. My Police Force does not welcome such people."
Hearing his words, no one dared to speak out against it, even feeling it made sense. They just felt a bit uncomfortable because the latter half was unpleasant to hear.
Uchiha was still that Uchiha, arrogant to the extreme.
The four clan heads also felt there was nothing wrong with what he said. Orphans were already quite pitiful. If they were also bullied, then that would be too tragic.
It was just that the latter half was spoken too harshly. However, given his current strength, he indeed had the qualification to say such words.
They wouldn't be foolish enough to stand out and oppose it.
Ryosuke saw no opposition and then said, "I am very satisfied. It seems everyone still has a bit of conscience."
The crowd was helpless. This guy was forcing them to have a conscience.
Actually, normal rough play between children does not seem to be anything, this time is just an extreme situation only.
On the outer edge of the crowd, however, there was a woman wearing a nun's attire and wearing glasses, looking at Uchiha Ryosuke with eyes that were shining brightly.
This man actually sympathizes with orphans, maybe she can go to the other party to pull some sponsorship.
The Uchiha clan has a big family business, supporting an orphanage, that is more than enough.
This person was precisely Yakushi Nono, who previously completed the task that Danzo gave her, and Danzo naturally sent a month's orphanage funding.
