Uchiha Fugaku stared blankly at the figure by the window whose back was gilded by the sunlight.
That figure was not tall, and even had the characteristic thinness of a young man, but in his eyes, it seemed to hold up a brand new sky.
First Hokage Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha...
Those two mythical names, the original intention and ideal of building the village that had long been buried in the deepest parts of the history scroll, were mentioned again in such an understatement and so shockingly from the mouth of a Senju Clan boy.
This is no longer a reform plan.
This is simply a Tongtian Avenue that is enough to change the fate of the entire Uchiha Clan, and even change the entire pattern of Shinobi World!
He, Uchiha Fugaku, has been mediocre for half his life. He thinks that killing Mizukage is the pinnacle of glory in his life. However, in front of the grand blueprint drawn by this young man, his achievements are as insignificant as a speck of dust.
An indescribable heat suddenly rose from the depths of his chest, sweeping through all his limbs in an instant. It was not because of fear, but because of a thing called "dream" that had been suppressed for too long and had almost been forgotten by him.
He recalled that when he was young, he had been very high-spirited and eager to lead Uchiha Clan, wash away the stigma of being a traitor, and truly stand at the top of Konoha.
But the cold reality, the rejection by the village's top management, and the alienation of the villagers have smoothed his edges little by little, causing him to compress all his ambitions into the three-acre land of "Police Force". In the day-to-day wrangling and confrontation, he became numb and only knew how to use toughness to maintain what little dignity he had left.
It was the young man in front of him who used a grand blueprint to pry open his rusty heart, allowing him to see a magnificent future that he could not even dream of.
"Chen-kun..." Uchiha Fugaku's voice became a little hoarse due to extreme excitement. He slowly stood up from the tatami, faced Senju Chen's back, and bowed deeply again, "I have learned my lesson."
This time, it is no longer a worship out of fear and fear, but a hero's most sincere respect for a guide who lights up his path.
"Uncle Fugaku is exaggerating. I just think that Uchiha and Senju should not be what they are now."
Senju Chen turned around, and he stretched out his hand to help Fugaku, indicating that Fugaku didn't need to be polite.
Uchiha Fugaku sat down again. This time, his waist was straight and his eyes were no longer confused. Instead, there was an unprecedented firmness and heat. Like the most devout student, he humbly asked for advice:
"Chen-kun, the blueprint you have drawn is so grand and majestic that Fugaku is fascinated by it. But... how to proceed? There are probably many stubborn people in the clan who are accustomed to the way things have been done in the past. If you want them to change, I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance."
After all, he was the leader of the clan. After getting excited, he immediately began to think about the practical problems.
"This is exactly the detail I want to talk about." Senju Chen sat back down unhurriedly, as if he had expected this question. "Any reform cannot be smooth sailing. The key to its implementation lies in three points: example, rules, and patience."
He held out his first finger.
"Example. This matter must be promoted from top to bottom. Clan Head Fugaku, you and the elders of the clan are the first banner of this change. You must set an example."
Senju Chen looked at Fugaku, his eyes becoming meaningful. "For example, starting from tomorrow, when you patrol the village, you can try to say hello to the villagers and ask them if they need help. Where? I'm afraid it's just helping an old woman carry a basket of food, helping a group of children who have fallen down, etc. These seemingly trivial things, once done by you, the leader of the Uchiha clan, will have more impact than the admonitions given at a hundred clan meetings."
"When the clan members see that even the clan leader is putting down his dignity to 'serve the people,' the excuses of those die-hards will naturally fall apart."
"Of course, you will not be accepted by the villagers at first, because everyone's dislike of Uchiha has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but please Clan Head Fugaku believe me, within half a year, everyone will change their attitude towards you and happily accept Uchiha Clan."
In Uchiha Fugaku's mind, the image of himself wearing Police Force uniform, helping someone carry a food basket suddenly appeared, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face. But in just a moment, this unnaturalness was replaced by determination.
For the future of the family, he is willing to sweep the streets, let alone carry the food basket!
"I understand." He nodded seriously.
"Second, there are rules." Senju Chen's tone suddenly became serious, "Without rules, there will be no success. You need to summon the elders immediately to formulate a new set of iron-blooded Police Force internal regulations. The core of this set of regulations is what I said before, 'Don't take advantage of the masses,' 'Police must go out,' 'Civilized law enforcement,' etc."
"And to go with it, it must be a mechanism with clear rewards and punishments!"
"We must set an example! For those team members who strictly abide by the regulations and are praised by the villagers, we must not hesitate to reward them! We must not only give material rewards, but also give honors! We can set up 'Service Stars of the Week', 'Service Stars of the Month', etc. within Police Force, and post the deeds of these people in the most conspicuous It is a place where all the tribesmen can see it, and the villagers outside can also see it. You can even ask Hokage's Office for him in the name of Police Force! Even if the village leaders don't approve, we Uchiha ourselves will hold a commendation meeting with great fanfare!"
"We should make 'serving the people' an honor and a culture that young people within a race strive to pursue!"
Uchiha Fugaku's eyes lit up and his breathing became rapid. He seemed to have seen the scene where the young people at Uchiha were rushing to help the old lady cross the road in order to compete for the title of "Service Star".
"What about... what about those who don't follow the rules?" he asked.
Senju Chen's mouth curved with a coldness that was inconsistent with his age.
"We must not tolerate those black sheep who are willing to go their own way and ruin the reputation of Uchiha!" His voice was not loud, but there was an unmistakable chill in it. "One verbal warning, two public criticisms and no If the bonus is deducted three times... then Police Force will be expelled directly! If the circumstances are bad and have a very bad impact, he can even be named and criticized at the whole clan meeting, making him completely unable to hold his head high and becoming a negative example for everyone!"
"In troubled times, heavy codes are used. In the early stage of change, thunderous means must be used to clear obstacles and unify thoughts. I believe Clan Head Fugaku knows this better than me."
"At the same time, a villager's opinion box can also be set up at Police Force to let the whole village know that everyone can give you opinions, and you can collect the villagers' opinions and make corresponding corrections."
"For example, which tribe members violated disciplines, which tribe members bullied the villagers, including villagers who were bullied by others, etc. As long as someone reports it, we will quickly investigate and deal with it."
"The advantage of this is that it deepens the integration and interaction between the Uchiha Clan and the entire village. When everyone finds that their suggestions for you are accepted and implemented by you, they will feel honored and their attitude towards the Uchiha Clan will also change."
Uchiha Fugaku felt a chill in his heart.
Senju Chen In these words, kindness and power are combined, and the killing is decisive.
But it is precisely because of this that he is even more convinced. Because such methods and means are truly feasible.
"Well, I will personally supervise this matter." Fugaku responded in a deep voice.
