Chapter 36 Uchiha Itachi: As expected, complaining in person is the most deadly!

After Quan left, Yan asked Itachi who was standing in front of the desk:

"You should know why these people came to Konoha, right?"

"Yes, I came here to plot the assassination of the Daimyo."

Itachi answered truthfully.

"So, tell me, what is the role of the Police Department?"

"Maintaining the village's law and order, and......"

The Third Hokage once said that although Itachi was a child, he was the child whose thoughts were closest to the Hokage, which meant that he was very smart.

Conversely, the smarter a person is, the more he knows and the more things he cares about.

Faced with Yan's question, Itachi was stuck.

Because the original intention of establishing the police department is not only to maintain village security, but also to participate in a series of important and dangerous tasks such as arresting spies and criminals.

However, as the Third Hokage and others began to increase their vigilance against the Uchiha, the Uchiha were left with only the responsibility of maintaining law and order.

Don't even think about other tasks and rights.

“Remember, the current duty of the police department is to maintain law and order in the village. We are also left with the right to maintain law and order. We are powerless to do anything else.

As for why it has developed to this point, you should understand it in your heart.

Well, go back. As long as these people don't gather to cause trouble or do other outrageous things, you don't need to bother with them."

"Konoha welcomes tourists and merchants from any region to come and visit and do business."

"As for what you are talking about, the police department has no authority to intervene. This is the responsibility of the Anbu."

It seems like Yan is shifting the blame and is not concerned about the matter.

But in fact, Yan was complaining that the village was gradually cutting away the rights that originally belonged to the Police Department.

From beginning to end, Uchiha was in a passive state.

"Yes."

"Wait a moment."

Itachi bowed and prepared to leave when Yan suddenly called him.

"Captain? Anything else?"

Itachi stopped, but Yan made a request that made him angry and speechless.

Calling Itachi who was about to leave, Yan hooked his finger at him:

"Come on, smile and let me see."

Itachi: “….”

It was obvious that Itachi really wanted to punch him, because his hands, no, his fists were clenched hard.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a pervert, and I don't mean anything else."

Yan smiled slightly, pointed to his face and said:

"See? Be like this, smile, don't be like your dad, who always has a stern face and no expression.

Now you are a member of the police department. If you want to do your best in this position and not be like other people in the same tribe, then you must know how to control and manage your emotions and expressions. "

"A smile can easily bring you closer to others. These are things you need to learn. People who smile on their faces but are vicious in their hearts are more dangerous."

Just a smile, but with so many confusing things mixed in?

This was beyond Itachi's knowledge.

Because no one had ever asked him to do this before.

Ever since he graduated from the Chunin exam and left his ninja team, Itachi has smiled less often.

In addition to facing his mother, younger brother, and Shisui.

Others could only see a blank expression on Itachi's face.

“I know that the clan leader will always teach you in a very old-fashioned and strict way, and will praise you, saying that you are worthy of being my son. Remember, never learn from him.

Because having a stern face is not a good thing in many cases.”

"It will only make people think that you have a bad temper and are difficult to get along with. Putting aside your status, just looking at the face of the clan leader, how many people dare to talk to him?"

"If you want to take on more responsibilities for the family, your first lesson is to learn to smile, learn how to communicate with the clan members, and integrate into their circle."

"......"

Itachi: Can I not learn it?

Itachi felt that Yan was making things difficult for him.

"Patriarch, am I right?"

Yan suddenly looked up and asked the door.

"Father!"

Itachi was slightly startled when he heard this and looked back.

Fugaku had been at the door for a while, his face the same color as the bottom of a pot.

Yan's constant comments like "Don't learn from your father" made him feel very uncomfortable, not to mention that Yan was always complaining about him.

Especially that sentence, "You are worthy of being my son", which almost broke his defense.

Is the way I educate my children wrong?

Fugaku couldn't help but doubt himself.

"Cough cough!!"

With a light cough, Fugaku pushed open the door. He still had the same face and glared at Yan without leaving any trace. Fugaku couldn't spoil the show, so he could only say to Itachi:

"Since this is the request of the seniors and the captain, then Itachi, you must study hard, understand?"

"Yes, father, I will try my best."

Itachi straightened his back subconsciously and answered loudly.

Yan had a strange look in his eyes, trying not to laugh, as he looked at the father and son who had a very delicate relationship.

"Okay, you go down first."

"Father, senior."

After a formal greeting, Itachi left, closing the door behind him.

"What are you doing?"

As soon as his son left, Fugaku asked with a gloomy face:

"I asked you to merge with the team that Itachi was in, but I didn't ask you to teach my son how to become a person who smiles on his face but is vicious in his heart."

"Is it like you? You always have a gloomy face, and many tribesmen dare not speak to you easily when they have something to ask you. Is this the so-called majesty of the tribe leader?"

"Come on, my great patriarch."

Fugaku with his face crossed looked scary, at least he could scare the other Uchiha people, but unfortunately this trick didn't work on Yan.

"........"

Fugaku, who was badly criticized, was very upset.

Knowing that he couldn't win the argument, he dropped the subject.

"Tonight, I will hold another family meeting to continue discussing the reorganization of the police department. You need to attend."

"Don't go."

Yan refused decisively. He was not interested in such a hassle.

A few hard-line elders refused to give in, fearing that their rights would be deprived, and had been hindering Fugaku from reorganizing the police department.

One could easily guess with one's heels that the meeting would be dominated by a quarrel between Fugaku and several elders.

At most, people who support Fugaku will also join in.

They quarreled and made a lot of noise, but the problem was not solved.

It’s not that Yan likes to complain, but Uchiha Fugaku’s performance at the critical moment was really disappointing.

Whether it is for the family or for the village.

Such a long time has passed, and even the hard-line elders of the family have not been dealt with.

And this is just to reorganize the Uchiha, not to wipe out and disband the hardliners.

If the time really comes to take action against the hardliners, I'm afraid even Mao won't be able to do anything with his wavering character.

It's bad enough that he's wavering himself, but he also restricts others from doing whatever they want.
