"The third and most important point is patience." Senju Chen's expression softened again, like a persuasive teacher, "Uncle Fugaku, it will take a day to freeze three feet. If you want to reverse the image of Uchiha in Konoha for decades, it will not be accomplished overnight. This matter cannot be rushed."
"In the early days, you may encounter a lot of misunderstandings. The villagers may avoid you out of fear, or even doubt your goodwill. The tribesmen may also complain and feel aggrieved. This is normal."
"What you have to do is to withstand all the pressure and implement this set of rules unswervingly. If it doesn't work for one month, it will be three months. If it doesn't work for one year, it will be three years."
"Just think of this as the first "Five-Year Plan" of the Uchiha Clan. What you need now is a silent penetration of moisturizing things, not a violent revolution. Just stick to it and measure it. Change will eventually lead to qualitative change. When the villagers of Konoha get used to Police Force's protection and get used to Uchiha's gentleness, everything you expect will come naturally."
After a detailed analysis, all possible difficulties and coping methods were placed in front of Uchiha Fugaku.
The last trace of doubt in his heart disappeared.
He looked at the young man in front of him, and what surged in his heart was not just admiration, but an almost fanatical worship.
This kind of wisdom, this kind of vision, this kind of insight into and control of people's hearts... Is this really something that a teenage boy can possess?
He even had a ridiculous idea: Could it be that the boy in front of him was the reincarnation of First Hokage's soul, coming back to save them Uchiha Clan?
As soon as this idea arose, he was killed by himself. But this did not prevent him from making a bold decision.
"Chen-kun!"
Uchiha Fugaku stood up suddenly, staring at Senju Chen with burning eyes, and his voice was a little high-pitched due to excitement.
"Your wisdom is far beyond anyone I have ever seen! This Police Force, no, this Uchiha's future cannot be without you!"
He took a step forward and said in a very solemn tone, "I would like to personally recommend you to Lord Third and ask you to serve as the deputy captain of Konoha Military Police Force! Join me in promoting this change!"
He believed that as long as Senju Chen was around to remind him, the chance of success for this seemingly difficult matter would be greatly increased! He had even thought of a way to say it, using Senju Chen is Senju Clan As a descendant of E, he serves as the deputy captain of Police Force led by Uchiha, which can show the whole village Uchiha's determination to integrate with the village!
However, facing this proposal that would make any young man ecstatic, Senju Chen just looked at him quietly, and then shook his head gently.
"Uncle Fugaku, I appreciate your kindness. But now is not the time."
"Why?" Uchiha Fugaku was stunned, as if his passion had been poured with cold water.
Senju Chen showed a helpless smile on his face, looking very sincere. "Uncle Fugaku, you think, after all, I am still a child, and my surname is Senju. I am killing Mizukage On the cusp of this great achievement, you suddenly recommended me, an 'outsider', to serve as the deputy captain of Police Force. What do you think... Lord Hokage and the senior officials would think?"
"They will not think that this is you showing your determination to integrate. They will only think that it is you, Uchiha Fugaku, who is trying to win over me, the 'Senju orphan', with evil intentions."
"As a result, not only will your Uchiha Clan's situation become very dangerous, but even the strategy you finally came up with to resolve the crisis by 'asking for a benefit' will fall short. Not only will this not help you, but it will harm you and the entire Uchiha."
Those words were like a basin of ice water, instantly waking up the hot-headed Uchiha Fugaku.
A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.
Yes! How could he forget this!
He only wanted to tie the great talent Chen-kun to him, but ignored the huge political risks behind it!
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the man known as "Ninja", would never watch helplessly as the two most powerful forces, Senju and Uchiha, came together so blatantly. That was an absolute threat to the Hokage's authority!
What I did was simply extremely stupid!
"It's me... I'm too impatient..." Uchiha Fugaku had a look of shame on his face.
'Hiruzen Sarutobi That old fox is too suspicious. Jumping to the stage now and getting mixed up with Uchiha is tantamount to putting yourself on the fire. And that old yin critic Danzo...'
'The time has not come yet...' Senju Chen thought with a sigh.
However, it's coming soon. Third Shinobi World War is about to end, and Brother Minato will succeed Fourth Hokage. Judging from the current momentum of Konoha, it is estimated that it is certain. In other words, my teacher Orochimaru is still a bit of a threat to Brother Minato.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi, the biggest factor of instability, takes a back seat, and when Konoha's Fourth project comes on stage, that's when I can really move from behind the scenes to the front.
Of course, the transformation of the Uchiha Clan just takes some time.
Senju Chen continued to comfort Uchiha Fugaku: "Uncle Fugaku, you don't have to be too anxious. Just like I just said, you have to be patient. Although I can't be the vice captain, if you have any questions, you can always come to Senju's mansion to see me."
"As long as you need something, I will tell you everything you need."
He paused and gave Fugaku a reassuring smile.
"Moreover, this period of time also happens to be a buffer period for Uchiha to make internal changes and adjustments. When Police Force's new trend begins to take effect and it has gained some good reputation in the village, then we can talk about subsequent cooperation. Wouldn't it be more natural and justifiable?"
He is thoughtful, not impatient, and even considers the next steps carefully.
This kid, his sense and wisdom are simply...!
"I understand." Uchiha Fugaku took a long breath and solemnly promised to Senju Chen, "Chen-kun, don't worry. From today on, I, Uchiha Fugaku, will lead the whole clan on the path you pointed out for us! I will never let you down!"
"Then wish us success one day." Senju Chen nodded with a smile.
"By the way, Clan Head Fugaku, I heard that Obito Uchiha died in battle and transplanted his Sharingan to his teammates before he died?"
"Well, that's what happened. Many people in the clan are also discussing this matter, and a large number of people feel that Sharingan of Obito should be recycled, and Sharingan of Uchiha should not be allowed to be inherited by outsiders for no reason." Uchiha Fugaku replied.
"Then what does Clan Head Fugaku think of this matter?" Senju Chen asked curiously.
"I believe that transplanting Sharingan to his teammates is the last wish of Obito Uchiha. Although I don't agree with this very much, I think the last wish of the deceased should be respected, so I suppressed this matter."
"Then, Clan Head Fugaku, don't you think this incident can actually be the beginning of the Uchiha Clan's change?"
"You mean..." Uchiha Fugaku is the head of the clan after all. After a little thought, he understood the meaning of Senju Chen's words.
"Yes, we can definitely use this as a publicity. Let the whole village know that Uchiha Clan will not take back the Sharingan that the tribe members voluntarily donated. Not only will we not take it back, but we will also help him become proficient and master how to use Sharingan."
"Let the whole village know that Uchiha Clan will not sacrifice the family ties of our comrades for Sharingan. We respect the deceased and the choice of every Uchiha tribesman. We will use this as a starting point to promote the Police Force reform plan."
"Let this matter become the first step in Uchiha's reform. Clan Head Fugaku, what do you think?"
So important Sharingan was given as promised, and it also helped the giver learn and control Sharingan.
This can make the villagers of Konoha feel that Uchiha Clan may not be as ruthless as imagined, but Uchiha Clan is also humane, respecting the wishes of the deceased and valuing the family ties of comrades-in-arms.
If this emotional card is played, even if it doesn't change the views of all the villagers, they will still look at him with suspicion.
Uchiha Fugaku thought for a moment and agreed to Senju Chen's suggestion.
"Well, I'll do as you say."
After the matter was settled, Senju Chen stood up and left.
Uchiha Fugaku personally walked him to the gate and looked at the young man's leaving figure with complex and fiery eyes.
He knew that from today on, the fate of the Uchiha Clan has been tightly tied to this mysterious boy Senju.
As Senju Chen was walking home, he raised his head, looked at the warm sun in the sky, and whispered to himself:
"The seeds have been sown, Clan Head Fugaku, don't let me down..."
"It's up to you whether you can change the tragic fate of the Uchiha Clan in the original work."
