"Don't get me wrong." Senju Chen waved his hand, "I'm not asking you to create chaos. I mean, you can take the initiative to solve some potential threats."
He paused and continued, "Uncle Fugaku, think about it. Although the village is peaceful, what about outside the village? How many bandits and rogues are there on the Land of Fire border? How many rebels are operating secretly?"
"These people may pose a threat to the village at any time. And Police Force can take the initiative to eliminate these hidden dangers."
Uchiha Fugaku's eyes lit up.
"You mean... let Police Force leave the village?"
"Yes." Senju Chen nodded, "Moreover, this must be done beautifully and done so that all villagers know about it."
"For example, you can spread some news in the village first, saying that there are recent bandit activities on the border, which may threaten the safety of the village."
"Then, Police Force volunteered to go to the border to eliminate bandits."
"When you return successfully, we will publicize it in a big way. Let all the villagers know that it was Uchiha Clan who protected their safety."
Uchiha Fugaku's breathing became rapid.
"This... this is indeed a good idea."
"Not only that." Senju Chen raised a smile on his lips, "This matter can also solve the conflicts within your clan."
"Don't those young tribesmen feel that 'serving the people' is too embarrassing? Then let them fight. Let them regain the glory of Uchiha in the battle."
"And those elders will also recognize your decision again because of the success of this operation."
Uchiha Fugaku's eyes flashed with excitement.
"Chen-kun, you are right. This is indeed a good way to kill two birds with one stone."
Senju Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"However, Uncle Fugaku, this must be done without leakage."
"First of all, the target you choose must be a real threat. It cannot be those insignificant thieves."
"Secondly, the action must be successful. If it fails, not only will it fail to achieve the effect, but it will make the villagers even more disappointed with Uchiha."
"Therefore, it must be kept secret in advance, and publicity must be in place afterwards. All villagers must know that it was Uchiha Clan who protected them."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded solemnly.
"I understand."
Senju Chen put down the tea cup and looked at Fugaku.
"One more thing."
"What's the matter?"
"About Brother Minato becoming Fourth Hokage." Senju Chen's tone became serious, "Uncle Fugaku, what are your thoughts now?"
Uchiha Fugaku was silent for a moment.
"To be honest... I'm a little disappointed." There was a hint of bitterness in his voice, "We supported Orochimaru at the beginning because he could give us greater power and freedom. But now..."
"But now Brother Minato has come to power." Senju Chen took over, "And Brother Minato is an idealist. He will not let you expand like my teacher Orochimaru did."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded.
"Yes. I already feel it."
"After Minato Namikaze came to power, although he was very friendly towards us, he was very firm on some key issues."
"For example, I proposed before that I hope Police Force can expand his authority and be responsible for the security around the village. But he refused."
"He said that Police Force's duty is to maintain public security in the village. Things outside the village should be handled by regular ninja troops."
Senju Chen smiled.
"This is normal. Brother Minato will not allow any organization to have too much power."
"But..." he changed the subject, "This doesn't mean you have no chance."
Uchiha Fugaku raised his head.
"What do you mean?"
"Uncle Fugaku, think about it. Although Brother Minato has restricted your authority, he has not restricted your actions."
"As long as what you are doing is for the good of the village and to protect the villagers, he has no reason to stop you."
Uchiha Fugaku's eyes lit up.
"You mean..."
"Yes." Senju Chen nodded, "You can take the initiative in the name of 'protecting the villagers'."
"For example, you can say that there have been recent activities of rebel ninjas or bandits, which may threaten the safety of the villagers. So Police Force decided to take the initiative to eliminate these rebel ninja bandits."
"What can Brother Minato say? He can't say that you are not allowed to protect the villagers, right?"
Uchiha Fugaku had a smile on his face.
"Chen-kun, you are right."
"But..." Senju Chen's tone became serious, "Uncle Fugaku, this matter must be done openly. Brother Minato cannot be made to feel that you are challenging his authority."
"So, before each operation, you must report to Hokage's Office. Explain the purpose, goals, staffing, etc. of the operation."
"In this way, Brother Minato can't find a reason even if he wants to stop it."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded.
"I understand."
Senju Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"One more thing."
"What's the matter?"
"About the conflicts within the clan." Senju Chen put down the tea cup and looked at Fugaku, "Uncle Fugaku, you must solve this problem as soon as possible."
"If the opposition within the clan becomes louder and louder, it will not only affect your reforms, but also make outsiders laugh."
Uchiha Fugaku's face became solemn.
"I know. But... those elders and young people, their ideas are too stubborn."
"Stubborn?" Senju Chen smiled, "Uncle Fugaku, they are not stubborn, they just can't see hope."
"Think about it, during this period, Police Force has done so many things, but the effect is not obvious. Although the villagers' attitude towards Uchiha has improved, they still maintain a distance."
"In this case, those elders and young people will naturally doubt your decision."
"But..." Senju Chen changed the topic, "If you can accomplish a big thing, a big thing that all the villagers will remember, then the situation will be different."
"At that time, those elders and young people will naturally recognize your decision again."
A flash of understanding flashed in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes.
"You mean..."
"Yes." Senju Chen nodded, "So, Uncle Fugaku, during the next period of time, you must concentrate on doing this well."
"As long as this thing is successful, all problems will be solved."
Uchiha Fugaku Take a deep breath.
"I understand."
He stood up and bowed deeply to Senju Chen.
"Chen-kun, thank you."
"Uncle Fugaku is serious." Senju Chen smiled, "We are allies and we should help each other."
Uchiha Fugaku straightened up, with a long-lost smile on his face.
"Yes, we are allies."
He paused and suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Chen-kun. There is one more thing I want to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?"
"About Shisui." Uchiha Fugaku's tone became serious, "Since he joined Root, there have been fewer and fewer Hui people. Even if he comes back occasionally, he is in a hurry and has no time to say anything to us."
Senju Chen was silent for a moment.
"Uncle Fugaku, what do you think...Shisui's current status?"
Uchiha Fugaku's face turned a little ugly.
"To be honest... I'm a little worried."
"Shisui That kid has been very sensible and talented since he was a child. But... he is too idealistic."
Uchiha Fugaku sighed, "But reality is not that simple."
Senju Chen said nothing.
He knew that Shisui Uchiha in the original work was too idealistic and eventually embarked on a path of no return.
He wants to use Kotoamatsukami to control Fugaku to prevent Uchiha's coup.
But he didn't expect that Danzo would take away his eyes.
Unexpectedly, his death would accelerate the genocide of Uchiha.
After the two of them had finished chatting, Uchiha Fugaku stood up and prepared to leave.
"Chen-kun, then I will leave first. In the next period of time, I will do what you say."
"Yeah." Senju Chen nodded, "Uncle Fugaku, remember what I said. This must be done beautifully, so that all the villagers will remember it."
"I understand." Uchiha Fugaku turned and left.
