Chapter 53: Support is not necessary, unity is the first priority

The tavern was quiet. The owner prepared some snacks and then left. There were only a few team leaders from the police department in the tavern.

"Yan!"

Seeing Yan coming, everyone stood up.

But when they saw Itachi behind Yan, their expressions changed slightly.

Yan took the initiative to explain:

"Itachi can be trusted. Just treat him as my man. If he does something to betray you, you can come to me."

"Seniors."

After Itachi bowed to everyone, he looked at Yan with a somewhat strange look, mixed with a hint of emotion.

"Hahaha, we are all from the same tribe, so we can definitely trust each other. Sit down quickly, you two are the only ones missing."

With Yan's assurance, others were willing to trust Itachi and believe that he would not go and tell on others.

If Itachi really did this, they believed that Yan would handle the matter personally and give them an explanation.

As soon as the two sat down, Yan poured two glasses of wine and pushed them over.

Itachi looked at the cup in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke:

"Senior, I am not yet an adult."

Those who can sit here are not young. Yan was originally the youngest, but after Itachi came, there was someone at the bottom.

"It doesn't matter, just consider it as an early experience."

Patting Itachi's shoulder, Yan picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. It was a bit choking and the taste was not that good.

Itachi was in a dilemma. He didn't even notice that he had been in a dilemma several times since he came out with Yan.

The atmosphere has reached this point and everyone is looking at themselves.

With Yan taking the lead, Itachi, who was also not yet an adult, had no choice but to follow.

"Cough cough!!!"

It's just that he choked on the wine.

"Hahaha, it seems Itachi still needs some practice. How can a man not drink? Even though you're still a boy."

"Yes, he needs to exercise. When I was his age, I stole the wine hidden by my father and drank it. I was beaten for it."

We are all family, and as we drank a glass of wine, the atmosphere became lively.

Itachi's face flushed a little, and he felt a little out of place.

Thinking of Yan's teachings, he could only try his best to force out the smile that he thought was most appropriate.

The good atmosphere didn't last long. When the topic shifted to today's incident, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared.

"The clan leader...sigh."

Not to mention others, Yan, as a supporter of the neutral faction, felt disappointed and helpless.

How many times has this happened?

"Damn it, we've been working hard to handle various public security cases, why are we being targeted like this?"

"The villagers don't understand us, and the village is targeting us. Are we Uchiha born to be treated unfairly?"

"The most infuriating thing is that we know who is targeting us, but we have no way to fight back or retaliate."

Being targeted?

It’s no big deal. Haven’t the Uchiha encountered enough targeting over the countless years?

The worst that can happen is a war, and everyone can just pick up knives and fight.

Few Uchiha people are afraid of death, but they cannot tolerate the grievance of not being able to raise a hand when being beaten or not being able to fight back when being scolded.

"Yan, you have to tell everyone the truth."

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Yan, whose face began to turn red, put the glass heavily on the table:

“I know you have something in mind. In the entire family, only Uchiha Yan dares to speak and act. We are all willing to believe you and accept your arrangements.

As long as you can let everyone vent their anger. "

Long-term suppression, repeated disappointments and frustrations have led to everyone no longer caring about factional issues.

Hardliners, neutrals, and even the remaining doves got involved.

The atmosphere is almost set.

Yan turned the wine glass in his hand, put it down, and scanned everyone's face, asking the same question:

"I asked this question to Itachi just now, and I will repeat it now."

“Can I trust you and believe in you?”

What does this mean?

Are they asking to change their stance?

The people present have their own factions in the family, and no decision can be made lightly when it comes to factional issues, otherwise it will cause great trouble.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Itachi, who was a little confused, started to explain:

"The captain doesn't mean that he wants everyone to support him and be loyal to him, but he hopes that everyone can put aside their family factions and unite as one."

Scared me.

As long as it doesn't involve changing factions, everything else is easy to deal with.

Yan was the first to express his opinion:

"As long as it doesn't involve factional issues within the family, I will support you, unless you, Uchiha Yan, want to lead us to confront the top leaders!"

"Yes, count me in!!"

"Count me in, too. I can't stand it any longer. These bastards are going too far."

"very good."

With everyone's affirmation, Yan showed a satisfied smile.

He never thought of asking those who hold real power in the police department to give up their faction at this time, because it was simply unrealistic to do so.

He only needs to use this incident to unite everyone, put aside internal factional issues, and face the outside world in unison.

Yan believes that if this happens once, it will happen a second time.

Over time, once everyone gets used to this mode of cooperation, the so-called factional issues are simply bullshit.

Everyone was willing to believe him and follow him, and Yan also took out some useful information.

“The biggest problem we have, apart from the fact that the clan leader is unwilling to fight back, is that we cannot retaliate directly because the other party’s identity is very sensitive.

Even though he is no longer the Hokage's assistant. "

"He can target us directly, but we can't retaliate against him. He can smear our Uchiha reputation at will, but we can't smear him."

This is the biggest problem with identity.

If they want to directly discredit Danzo, it would be impossible unless the Uchiha openly challenged the village, or someone from the Uchiha clan entered the upper echelons and their status could not be lower than that of Danzo.

Obviously, neither of these two paths is feasible at present.

You cannot openly challenge the village. This is the bottom line.

Similarly, it is extremely difficult for members of the Uchiha clan to enter the upper echelons.

"Then we can't just do nothing, right?"

Yan's words were like a bucket of cold water, cooling everyone down to the bone. This wouldn't work, that wouldn't work, what the hell are we sitting here for?

It’s better to go home and sleep.

Otherwise, tomorrow will be another day full of frustration.

The tribesmen were anxious.

Only then did Yan put the files he brought on the table.

"Konoha population data?"

Everyone was speechless when they saw what Yan took out. Is this the solution you mentioned?

Everybody took off their pants, and you took out this thing.

Not to mention others, even Itachi had a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"What's Danzo's name?"

Yan patted the things on the table and asked.

"Of course, my name is Shimura Danzo. You can also call me......"

Yan replied unhappily, but before he could finish his words, he was stunned.
