The color on Uchiha Fugaku's face has not yet fully recovered. Senju Chen's analysis of "great achievements that shocked the master" just now stripped away the bloody and fatal dangers he was proud of. Looking at the young man in front of him now, he no longer had any contempt in his heart, only the panic and heartfelt awe that he felt for the rest of his life were left.
Senju Chen's words, "If things go on like this, if everyone doesn't hate you, who can they hate?" was like a heavy hammer hitting Uchiha Fugaku's heart, making his already pale face even more ugly.
He opened his mouth, his voice was dry, with a hint of unwillingness and confusion.
"I also know that Police Force is not welcome in the village..." Uchiha Fugaku frowned. This has always been his worry, but he has no way of starting. "But Police Force After all, the responsibility is the task assigned to the Uchiha Clan by the village. Its role is ultimately for the stability of the village. You can't... you can't let the tribe just give up and hand over this power and responsibility to others, right?"
These words conveyed a deep sense of powerlessness.
Giving up means admitting Uchiha's failure and losing the last and most important position in Konoha's power structure.
If you don't give up, you can only watch the rift between the family and the village widen day by day, and eventually lead to an irreversible confrontation. This is a dead end.
"I didn't tell Uchiha Clan to give up the security mission." Senju Chen's face reappeared with that harmless and pure smile. He picked up the slightly cold tea and blew it gently, his movements calm and leisurely., as if talking about an ordinary little thing, "On the contrary, Police Force is the best and only springboard for the Uchiha Clan to fully integrate into the village and even become the core of the village..."
"It's just that, if you want to save Uchiha's image in the village, you really need to make some changes."
Uchiha Fugaku was refreshed, and his body leaned forward subconsciously, staring at Senju Chen with burning eyes, like a drowning man grabbing the last driftwood. "Oh? How to change it?"
Senju Chen put down the tea cup, looked directly at the Uchiha patriarch with clear eyes, and slowly spit out a word that once shocked Shisui Uchiha.
"First of all, we must fundamentally reverse your positioning of Police Force. You are not a superior law enforcer, but a guardian who 'serves the people'."
"To serve the people of...?"
This word, spoken from the mouth of the young man in front of me, carries a strange magic power. Uchiha Fugaku's expression is exactly the same as that of Shisui. He was confused at first, and then fell into deep thought. Service? Uchiha, to serve those unarmed civilians?
This... this simply overturns their family's decades of understanding.
Senju Chen didn't give him much time to think. He knew that to deal with a high-ranking and deep-thinking tycoon like Uchiha Fugaku, he must use a complete, rigorous, and alluring theory to break through his psychological defenses in one go.
"Uncle Fugaku, have you ever thought about why the people in the village are afraid of you and alienate you?" Senju Chen held out a finger and spoke in a low voice, but the words were clear, "Because in their eyes, Police Force represents 'punishment', 'coldness' and 'power'. Your presence usually means something bad has happened. When people see you, they are like mice seeing cats. How can they get close to each other before they can hide away?"
"So, the first step is to change this impression. I suggest that you formulate a new set of internal rules and a set of iron-clad disciplines for Police Force!"
Senju Chen's voice began to take on a sacred and solemn tone, as if he was not making suggestions, but conveying some supreme code of law.
"The first and most important one is: 'Don't take advantage of the masses'!"
"Whether you are helping a lost child find a home or helping a vendor catch a thief, you must not accept any form of gratitude from the other party, even if it is just a bunch of meatballs or a piece of fruit. You must let all villagers understand that Uchiha's help is pure and does not ask for anything in return!"
"Article 2: Establish a rapid response mechanism! I call it 'the police will go out and act upon hearing the news'. Set up a special duty room in the clan area. Once we receive help from the villagers, no matter how big or small it is, we must rush to the scene in the shortest possible time. Even if we are helping an old lady find a cat or helping neighbors mediate disputes, we must show the efficiency and attitude of hunting down S-class traitors!"
"Article 3: Change the attitude of law enforcement! All Police Force members must put away their natural arrogance when facing ordinary villagers who are not criminals! Learn to smile and learn to communicate in a gentle tone. You can be ruthless to criminals, but you must be like a spring breeze to the villagers. Let everyone know that the Gunbai badge is a symbol of protection for good people; for bad people, it is a hammer of judgment!"
One by one, "rules" that were unbelievable, but seemed to go straight to the core of the problem, were constantly spoken from Senju Chen's mouth. Uchiha Fugaku's breathing had become rapid unknowingly. His brain was running rapidly, comparing the scene described by Senju Chen with the current situation of Police Force.
Those team members were naturally arrogant when enforcing the law, those impatient faces when civilians asked for help, those "little things" that took away vendors' goods... Scenes of scenes flashed through his mind at this moment, but they were no longer innocuous details, but poisonous that shook the foundation of the family!
Senju Chen had a panoramic view of the changes in Fugaku's expression. The heat was almost over, and now it was time to introduce the real news. These rules and regulations were just means, and the huge benefits behind them were the bait that made the patriarch completely take the bait.
"Uncle Fugaku, you may feel that doing this will make Uchiha lose the majesty of a strong man." Senju Chen changed the subject, his tone full of temptation, "But have you ever thought about what earth-shaking changes it will bring to the Uchiha Clan once these rules and regulations are implemented?"
He paused and raised a second finger.
"The first and most direct benefit: you will completely change the image of Uchiha in the village! It will only take a few years, or even one or two years, when the villagers get used to coming to Police Force when they have difficulties and get used to the reliable, efficient, honest and friendly image of Uchiha team members, you will no longer You will no longer be an object of rejection, but will become the most supported and indispensable organization in the entire Konoha! By then, the public will and the general trend will lead, who else can easily shake your position? The vague suspicion and exclusion of those at the top will become vulnerable in the face of absolute public opinion! You know, ninjas also have families."
Uchiha Fugaku's pupils shrank suddenly!
People's hearts! Senju Chen was actually talking to him about people's hearts! This thing that he and the entire Uchiha Clan ignored, in Senju Chen's description, became an indestructible talisman!
"Second, the expansion of power!" Senju Chen's voice lowered a bit, full of devilish deception, "Uncle Fugaku, is the power of Police Force really limited to the internal security of Konoha?"
"When the Uchiha Clan 'Sin Busters' flag is hung high in Konoha and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, you can completely set your sights outside the village! Land of Fire Are there no bandits within the country? Are there no lawless bullies in various towns? Even... rebellious criminals from other countries and criminals who have strayed into Land of Fire, shouldn't they be punished?"
"You can take the initiative to ask for help to deal with the 'dirty jobs' that the regular ninja troops in these villages disdain or have no energy to deal with. At first, you may just deal with some small thieves, but slowly, your business scope will become larger and larger. Eliminate bandit gangs, hunt down criminals with high bounties, and even... in the name of 'maintaining regional peace', deal with internal disputes in some small countries!"
"Uncle Fugaku, imagine that one day, the entire Land of Fire, and even the people of several small surrounding countries, will only recognize your Uchiha Gunbai, when everyone regards you as the incarnation of justice, what kind of transcendent status will Uchiha Clan have? At that time, will your power still be restricted by the little Konoha?!"
Boom!!!
These words were like a bolt of black lightning, splitting open Uchiha Fugaku's mind! He only felt his scalp numb, and an electric current shot straight from his spine to Tianling Gai!
