Uchiha Jin was quite direct.
Although he had already effectively controlled the entire Uchiha, why was he still not interested in taking over the power of the Clan Head?
Even...
Last time, when Sarutobi Hiruzen proposed to make him the Captain of the Police Force, Uchiha Jin mercilessly rejected it?
It was still the same sentence: power equals responsibility!
As long as Uchiha Jin didn't accept these positions, he was just an ordinary Chunin. These messy affairs wouldn't fall on his head. If there was a problem, they could go find Fugaku, that scapegoat.
As for whether Fugaku could solve it, what did that have to do with him?
Of course.
Was Fugaku willing to be the scapegoat?
Hehe!
At this moment, Fugaku's face was indeed ashen, and his whole body trembled with anger. However, a moment later, he still held back his retort, feeling wronged.
There was no helping it!
With that troublesome child Itachi at home, and with the ruthlessness Uchiha Jin had shown, even for the sake of leaving a way out for his family, he dared not fall out with Uchiha Jin easily.
So, endure it.
Anyway, he had been used to it for so many years!
He could endure it when facing the Konoha higher-ups before, and he could do the same when facing Uchiha Jin.
It was precisely after figuring this out that Fugaku's face returned to calm.
At this moment, he was like a clay puppet, standing there quietly without moving. Even in the face of Sarutobi Hiruzen's strange gaze, he just coughed and pretended not to see.
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."
His mind went blank, and his whole person was dumbfounded.
Damn!
Playing like this, are we?
He was so angry he almost laughed, and said through gritted teeth: "Since that's the case, then Fugaku, you tell me, how should this matter be resolved?"
"Ah! Me?" Fugaku looked bewildered.
How to solve it?
I'm a damn commander without soldiers; how do I know how to solve it?
He subconsciously looked at Uchiha Jin. After all, this was the real power holder.
In response to this.
Uchiha Jin rolled his eyes: "Clan Head Fugaku, why are you looking at me?"
"Since Hokage-sama has asked you to solve it, then as the Captain of the Police Force, you are naturally duty-bound!"
Hearing this, Fugaku coughed: "That—I'll try my best?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen rolled his eyes. You'll try your damn best!
Does anyone in the Uchiha listen to you?
But, sigh!
Although Uchiha Jin could play, he didn't have the time. So he slammed the table in anger.
"Uchiha Jin, that's enough!"
"Stop beating around the bush with me. Since you choose to fight me within the rules, then you must abide by the village's rules!"
"The village's ninja clans are not blind. The village has already kept its promise. If you choose to break the contract now, I hope you can bear the consequences!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was full of viciousness.
Since he had already torn off the mask with Uchiha Jin, and Fugaku, this trash, was useless, he naturally couldn't be bothered to hide his true face.
He was really anxious!
If it were any other matter, he wouldn't say it out loud, wishing that Uchiha Jin would break the contract.
Only the Police Force was absolutely impossible!
This was the foundation for maintaining the hostility between the Uchiha and the village. And having been Hokage for decades, he knew even better in his heart that ordinary villagers were the most forgetful, most easily used, and most honorably bought group of people.
Although the current Police Force was delaying, it was damn well justified. The villagers really had no reason to trouble the Police Force!
If the Uchiha were allowed to muddle along for a while longer, the Uchiha's bad reputation would disappear, and at most, they would get a new title of 'useless'. On the contrary, after they failed to solve the problem, there was a high probability that they would have resentment towards him, the Hokage.
So, no!
Other things could be discussed, but the matter of the Police Force was different. Even if he had to force them, he had to make the Police Force return to its former state.
Fugaku: "..."
Seeing this side of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Fugaku was stunned on the spot.
What the hell?
How did Sarutobi Hiruzen become like this?
Was this still the gentle and kind old man who was just a little conflicted in his impression?
On the other side.
Compared to the bewildered Fugaku, Uchiha Jin's expression remained unchanged, but his tone became serious.
"Oh, interesting!"
"Since Hokage-sama is talking like this, then I agreed to let the Police Force open for business?"
"Did I do it?"
"Breaking the contract? Where did that come from?"
Uchiha Jin was quite direct.
In the beginning, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to play the official, so he was willing to kick the ball with him.
Since Sarutobi Hiruzen had put down the identity of the Hokage and chose to talk as the head of a faction, then Uchiha Jin also threw away the skin of a Chunin and directly put on the skin of the Uchiha's Lord.
Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table: "Uchiha Jin, don't go too far!"
"I promised to give you the Uchiha ancestral land in exchange for the village's peace and stability."
In response to this.
Uchiha Jin's face was full of disdain.
"I'm sorry, that's because you didn't make it clear."
"What you exchanged for was the Uchiha going to work and the Police Force reopening for business."
"Those were your original words!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were obscure. After taking a fierce puff of his pipe: "Nitpicking words is meaningless. You can't convince others with this."
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you're wrong again." Uchiha Jin shook his head: "Actually, it can be convincing."
"In view of the excessive complaints from the villagers against the Police Force in the past, our Police Force has decided to turn over a new leaf. In the future, we will follow the principles of having laws to follow, abiding by the laws, enforcing the laws strictly, and investigating any violations."
"In order to avoid miscarriages of justice as much as possible, and to enhance the happiness of the Konoha villagers, the Uchiha have decided to rely on evidence for everything in the future and strictly follow the procedures for every case!"
"Everything is for Konoha!"
At this moment, Uchiha Jin's face was full of righteousness.
Just kidding!
Did he really think only the Konoha higher-ups could play with the Will of Fire? For someone like him who had received nine years of compulsory education, he was no worse than Sarutobi Hiruzen at playing this game.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was instantly dumbfounded.
He looked at Uchiha Jin in front of him in astonishment, and his brain completely shut down. Even though he was trying hard to spin his brain frantically, he couldn't find a single word to refute.
On the other side.
Fugaku was even more dumbfounded, and his brain was overloaded.
It could be played like this?
When he was in charge of the Uchiha before, he had never thought of these things.
Similarly.
He also had a deeper understanding of Sarutobi Hiruzen!
It turned out Uchiha Jin was right. Sarutobi Hiruzen was usually just hypocritical, almost all of which was for show to the outside, but only he was foolish enough to believe it.
If not for Uchiha Jin's rise, then under his leadership, the Uchiha might really become dangerous in the future.
After a long time.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath: "Uchiha Jin, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Of course, it's to contribute to Konoha!" Uchiha Jin said without thinking: "Where the leaves of Konoha dance, the fire will also burn endlessly."
"Hokage-sama, you don't have to be too moved. Everything is for Konoha."
"Farewell!"
