Kinda pissed at Hiruzen right now.
Here he is, moaning and whining about the state the village is in to a five year old child, where a six year old child can get assaulted with law enforcement being present on the scene, who then proceed to put in a grand total of zero fucking effort to catch the perpetrators, and like – my guy, you're the one in fucking charge you dipshit.

He's the leader of what is essentially a military dictatorship city-state (if one technically subservient to the nation they reside in, but how relevant is the daimyō in canon anyway) and he doesn't like how it's being run??? Then do it differently you geriatric fuck oh my god what an asshat. Fuck, man.

Beyond that, thanks for the chapter!

Just to make it clear, I don't have an issue with how Hiruzen is written or anything, I'm pissed at the character not the writing, yeah?

edit:typo
In his very slight defense, there's not much he can do about the general hatred of Naruko. You can't force the village to like her.
As for the assault and the police issue, that's actually much more complicated than it appears. The Uchiha police tried to intervene, but the village hates them enough that the village managed to provoke one of the cops into attacking a chunin who committed no crime. That's not a good look and the Hokage can't act to favor the party that was very technically in the wrong, even if the Chunin deserved it.

The problem was easy to solve 10 years ago, now it's almost impossible without massively weakening the village. In another 5 years enough new ninja would have developed that he might be able to try fixing things, but of course he doesn't have 5 years. His real issue is that he keeps falling into short term thinking, Fix the issue in front of him as quickly as possible regardless of the consequences years later. Which can be excused a bit since the village was nearly destroyed by the Nine Tails and he didn't have many options. Still biting everyone now.
