Inside the Hokage Building.
"What? The Uchiha Clan is giving up some of its positions in the Konoha Military Police Force?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi kept muttering Fugaku Uchiha's words in surprise.
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
"This time, Elder Danzo's Root base was attacked, and the Uchiha Clan failed to fulfill its proper role."
"The Uchiha Clan is willing to relinquish some positions in the Konoha Military Police Force and let capable people take them on."
Fugaku Uchiha's words were flawless, leaving Hiruzen Sarutobi at a loss for what to say.
And every one of those words had been thought up for Fugaku Uchiha by Uchiha Yato.
The scene returned to the end of yesterday's meeting.
"You want to deal with Danzo, so why give away positions in the Konoha Military Police Force?"
After hearing Uchiha Yato's plan, Fugaku Uchiha asked this question without even thinking.
Uchiha Yato did not answer directly. Instead, he responded with a question.
"What kind of reputation does the Uchiha Clan have in Konoha now?"
Shisui answered.
"We're practically like rats crossing the street."
"Then why do you think so many people hate the Uchiha Clan?"
Following Uchiha Yato's lead, the Great Elder said, "Because the Uchiha Clan enforces the law too strictly? But that really is authority Konoha gave us!"
Hearing the Great Elder's words, Uchiha Yato revealed the truth at the right moment.
"It is precisely because the Uchiha Clan is too upright that, no matter what it does, it can never truly integrate into Konoha."
"This was an open scheme left behind by that dead Second. The simplest way to break it is for the Uchiha Clan to step out of it."
Uchiha Yato did not mince words in the slightest. He clearly had no regard for Tobirama Senju, calling him "that dead Second" again
