Chapter 6: Defending the Police Department, but being cut by the 3rd Hokage's soft knife!

“Hokage-sama, although I can understand the difficulties of the village, the Uchiha have been constantly improving the requirements of law enforcement, and the number of complaints received is much less than before, and only a few civilian staff can handle it.

I hope that the Hokage can understand the difficulties faced by the Uchiha people and that the village will continue to prosper under the leadership of the Hokage. "

"The number of areas that Uchiha needs to patrol is increasing. The police department has already expanded several batches of personnel. There is really no way to handle these matters anymore."

Fugaku praised the Third Hokage a little bit, and then played a pitiful role.

In fact, it can't be considered as playing the victim, because Uchiha is indeed facing such a situation.

After all, not every Uchiha ninja will join the police department. Many ninjas choose to join some teams to carry out missions.

After the family ninjas were dispersed, even though the Uchiha clan was a large clan, there was still a shortage of manpower.

Everyone likes to hear nice things, and the Third Hokage is no exception. Even though he knew that Uchiha Fugaku said this on purpose, he still felt relieved.

Because under his leadership, Konoha did become prosperous.

"You have a point. The Uchiha are indeed a little short of manpower."

What do you mean?

Fugaku's heart skipped a beat when he heard the Third Hokage say this. He thought that the other party was trying to convince him to expand the police department and stuff ninjas from other families and civilian ninjas into it.

So he said decisively:

"Hokage-sama, the Uchiha are a little short of manpower, but there is no problem in ensuring the operation of the police department. Please trust us, Hokage-sama."

If Yan was here, he would definitely yell: Stupid! !

What good would it be for the Uchiha to cling to the Police Department?

Don’t they want to squeeze people in?

Promise him, and state some conditions at the same time!

In exchange, what would happen if ninjas from other families or even civilian ninjas were allowed to join the police department?

The Police Department is the Uchiha's territory. As long as the basic backbone remains unchanged, these ninjas who join in can only become subordinates at best.

Don’t you feel good about throwing all the dirty and tiring work to them?

As expected, Fugaku was still guarding the police department closely, refusing to relax even a little bit, and the Third Hokage sighed slightly.

"In that case, I will select some people to be in charge of the complaints, but as you know, the village finances..."

“The police department will be responsible for the salary expenses of these people.”

If you don't let people in, you'll bleed.

This is a must!

Fugaku quickly agreed. For him, as long as the complaint was not directed to Uchiha, everything else would be easy.

The Uchiha can still afford to support a group of staff.

As long as these people are comfortable with the hassle of handling complaints.

In this way, he has fulfilled his promise to his people.

This kid is really causing me trouble.

After finishing all the bargaining with the Third Hokage, Fugaku walked out of the Hokage's office building and let out a long breath.

Although the process was a bit troublesome, fortunately everything is over.

Next, Uchiha will only be responsible for the police department. As for complaints, there will be a special department to handle them.

A huge weight was lifted off Fugaku's heart.

The Third Hokage also indirectly relieved a lot of pressure on the village's finances.

Although he wanted to boil the Uchiha like a frog in warm water, he didn't want to push the Uchiha too hard.

Once there is no way to retreat, even a rabbit will bite people in a hurry, let alone the largest family in the ninja world.

At least it is the largest family in public.

"Uchiha Hiko? Looks like we need to step up surveillance."

Yan's behavior of picking a time to run to the gate of the ninja school has already made the Third Hokage unhappy, and now he is starting to stand out in the family.

This is not what the Third Hokage wanted to see.

Even if Yan has no intention of joining the hardliners.

Not now, but what about later?

In order to prevent more variables from occurring, the Third Hokage decided to increase the level of surveillance on Yan.

After returning to the family, Fugaku immediately called people together and held a simple family meeting. Not many people attended the meeting, only him as the clan leader, several elders, and the team leader of the police department.

After receiving the notice, Yan Ye put down what he was doing and came to the clan leader's compound.

The elders were still the last group to arrive.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Fugaku, and they were obviously eager to know the result of the clan leader's negotiation at the Hokage's office building.

Even Yan was curious whether the Third Hokage would agree to the Uchiha's proposal.

Should he reject it forcefully, or continue to cut Uchiha's flesh with a soft knife?

Now that everyone was present, Fugaku didn't do anything fancy to whet everyone's appetite.

“Everyone, I went to the Hokage’s office building and presented the wishes of our Uchiha Police Department to the Hokage. After some discussion and negotiation, the final result is that from now on, complaints about the Police Department will no longer be handled by the Police Department, but will be handled by a special department.

However, the village's finances are tight, and the expenses of this department need to be paid by Uchiha from the police department."

This is equivalent to Uchiha paying out of his own pocket to hire a group of people to handle complaints.

This price is not small.

But does Uchiha need this little money?

There is definitely no shortage of it. What the Uchiha fears is trouble, especially all kinds of nagging complaints.

When facing those unreasonable people, if you can't teach them a lesson, you can just make their heads explode.

If it is not handled properly, the village will blame or even punish them.

"Great."

Many team leaders and elders showed surprised smiles, even the spy Shisui showed a happy smile.

This is definitely a good thing for Uchiha.

"This is definitely a victory for the Uchiha!!!"

Seeing the Great Elder’s excited look, Yan secretly rolled his eyes.

You said it's a good thing for Uchiha, I admit that.

But to say it's a victory, what the hell are you talking about?

This is clearly like using a soft knife to cut Uchiha's flesh.

Looking at the smiling Great Elder and others, Fugaku knew very well what they were planning, and he would not give them any chance.

"Yan."

Fugaku directly named:

"You were the one who proposed the complaint handling proposal. What other ideas do you have regarding the family and the police department?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Yan.

Uneasy kindness.

Although he knew that Fugaku was deliberately directing everything to him, Hiko had no intention of turning away. He pretended to think for a moment and replied:

"I think the police department's mission dispatch should be reorganized. Our police department is responsible for the public security issues of the entire Konoha, and will even participate in important tasks such as arresting criminals and spies."

"Those trivial matters, such as catching cats and looking for dogs, can be completely rejected. Let the villagers' respective task departments issue tasks and ask ninjas to search for them."

You heard it right, it means catching cats and dogs.
