Chapter 68 This is how the police department should operate (Part 1)

Police Department!

After truly understanding the immense authority of the police department, Fugaku Uchiha even felt like slapping himself twice.

As the founding clan of Konoha, the Uchiha naturally possessed an aura of prestige and even had a powerful organization like the Police Department, which had the potential to rival the Hokage. Yet, they ended up being universally disliked...

There are bad people among the masses!

Fugaku Uchiha did not admit that his clan was too foolish; he could only say that the enemy was more cunning and treacherous than they had imagined. The pride of the Uchiha clan, however, completely disdained such behavior…

Ok!

Ignoring this insignificant reason, Fugaku Uchiha, who had already begun to think, combined with the hints from Jin Uchiha's words, and in the subsequent discussion with Setsuna Uchiha, also discovered the insidious nature of the intelligence that the Second Hokage had given to the police department.

That is, the pride of the Uchiha clan makes them naturally have a strong sense of distance in appearance, and their impartiality in the process of enforcing the law constantly offends the people in the village, thus falling into a situation of being isolated by the entire Konoha ninja clan.

Over time...

The reputation of the Guard Department was completely ruined along with that of the Uchiha clan, and even Fugaku Uchiha, who knew this, had no good solution before.

After all, Fugaku knew the nature of his own family members well. Only a leader with extremely high prestige could make everyone obey and build a good reputation through law enforcement that was both measured and compassionate.

But today is different...

Uchiha Jin's series of feats, including "eliminating the Root, killing Danzo, and intimidating the Hokage," brought his prestige within the Uchiha clan to its peak.

As long as it's ashes...

"What?!"

Just as Fugaku was looking forward to Uchiha Jin reforming the police department and enabling the Uchiha to better integrate into Konoha and potentially become Hokage, a series of words from him left him stunned.

Enforcement with moderation? Enforcement with compassion?

To hell with all of that! You don't even understand the principle that power unused expires!

I seriously doubt whether you are a proper Uchiha. How could my Uchiha clan, with its thousand-year-old pride, possibly accept such a weak, incompetent, and irresponsible approach!

Although he had thoroughly lashed out at Fugaku, the nominal clan leader, a hint of approval flashed in Uchiha Jin's eyes.

It is undeniable.

Fugaku's past performance was indeed somewhat weak, but to be able to think to this extent, even if he picked up on the few words that Uchiha Jin had unintentionally revealed, it was still quite a challenge for this reckless ninja with a weak political foundation.

If Uchiha Jin's goal was to gain the approval of the villagers of Konoha, and then gradually engage in a tug-of-war with Hiruzen Sarutobi, and finally, through repeated compromises and feigned compliance, elevate a Hokage from the Uchiha clan.

Then congratulations, Fugaku! This idea isn't entirely without the possibility of success!

However, in Uchiha Jin's view, this approach was simply arguing with an idiot, which would inevitably lead to his IQ being lowered and him being defeated by the idiot with more experience.

Trying to play the public opinion game with Hiruzen Sarutobi, who has been running Konoha for decades? Do you really think his "Will of Fire" for fooling people is just a hollow name?

Do you really think just anyone can cosplay Mei Changsu?

The most important thing is!

Hokage?

Whoever wants to be this can be. As a transmigrator, Uchiha Jin certainly couldn't bear the shame of compromising himself for a mere village chief position.

And as a farmer of the Uchiha clan, what could be more effective than the tempering of blood and fire in helping his turkeys grow faster?

So, is it about compromising and feigning compliance?

nonexistent!

The existence of the police department may be a product of Tobirama Senju's conflicted psychology. As the Hokage, he needed to treat all the ninja clans under his command equally, but as a member of the Senju clan, he was burdened with the blood debts of countless clansmen and Uchiha.

Thus, the police department emerged as a potential path to Hokage, but one that would never be grasped by the Uchiha clan.

You have personality problems and you're a political idiot, so it's my fault you can't become Hokage!

Just thinking about Tobirama Senju's mocking smile made Jin Uchiha feel a sense of admiration for this inventor of forbidden ninja techniques.

He's quite a character, actually!

Tobirama Senju could never have imagined that once the ruthless shackles of the police department fell into the hands of King Uchiha, he would be able to pull off some amazing feats.

"The first thing is to expand recruitment. There's no need for the Uchiha clan to waste their energy on trivial disputes. Hiring some temporary workers from the periphery can easily handle it."

"Let outsiders join the police department?"

Fugaku Uchiha frowned slightly. Even though he knew there was something wrong with the existence of the police department, he still didn't want any outsiders to share his family's power because of the family's unique pride.

"Are you stupid? Do you even know what a temporary worker is?!"

Uchiha Jin pointed at Fugaku's nose, cursing him angrily for his lack of ambition.

"What's wrong with the noble Uchiha spending a little money to hire a few ordinary ninjas to help out? Do you expect to clean your own house?"

"How do you know... no..."

Fugaku Uchiha instinctively offered a defense, then quickly changed the subject and pressed for an answer.

"However, the cost of recruiting staff is a strain on the family, even though we have some resources. It would be too much of a stretch to cover this expense in the long run."

At this point, Fugaku Uchiha added in a low voice.

"You recently embezzled 100 million ryo from the clan. Even though we are the wealthy Uchiha clan, we don't have much liquid capital left..."

"Don't worry about these little things!"

Uchiha Jin decisively dismissed Fugaku's idea of ​​taking advantage of him, and instead launched into another tirade against him.

"Doesn't the police department have its own funding? Can't they even spare this little bit of money?!"

Uh……

Seeing that his feelings had been ruthlessly rejected by Uchiha Jin, Fugaku shook his head helplessly and then spoke with a touch of melancholy.

"The person in charge of the village's finances is Tsutomu Koharu. The police department's budget has always been pitifully small, so it's only because the clansmen don't incur much expense when they're needed..."

Fugaku suddenly stopped speaking, and following the strange feeling in his heart, he looked up again. Sure enough, what met his eyes was Uchiha Jin's gaze that looked at him like he was an idiot.

"What's wrong...?"

Fugaku didn't know what he had said wrong, but under that gaze, he felt completely at a loss.

Ugh……

Uchiha Jin did not answer. After letting out a deep sigh, a surging aura burst forth with his powerful voice.

"If I'm short of money, I'll double it and go ask that old witch, Xiaochun, for it. If that girl dares to hold me back in this regard..."

"Then let her learn what it means to be more powerful locally than a distant official!"
