He faced Fugaku's eyes that widened at that moment, and said slowly, "Clan Head Fugaku, don't be excited, the next step is the real gift to the Uchiha Clan."
"In the future, Konoha Military Police Force, under certain circumstances, will have the power to go out of the village to carry out investigation and arrest tasks."
"..."
Silence.
Deathly silence.
The expression on Uchiha Fugaku's face was completely frozen.
He sat there blankly, his mind went blank, as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt from head to toe.
Out... out of the village... to enforce the law?
Did he hear wrongly?
These four words were like an extremely heavy hammer, hitting the depths of his soul hard, making him feel dizzy.
Since Second Hokage Tobirama Senju established Konoha Military Police Force, for decades, Uchiha Clan has been like an invisible chain, tightly tied to the three-acre land of Konoha.
Their strength, their pride, their Sharingan that could make any enemy tremble, can only be dealt with trivial public security issues within the village, wasted away and forgotten in the day-to-day wrangling and confrontation.
Going out of the village to establish meritorious deeds has always been something that Uchiha clan leaders of all generations could not even dream of.
That is the iron law engraved in the highest law of Konoha! It is the shackles hanging above Uchiha's head that can never be broken away!
But now...
Senju Chen, this young man who was only fifteen years old told him in an understatement.
This chain is loosened.
"Chen...Chen-kun..." Uchiha Fugaku's voice was as dry as if it had been polished with sandpaper. His lips were trembling, and it was extremely difficult to speak each word, "You... you are saying... really?"
"Of course it's true." Senju Chen still had that gentle smile on his face, "However, my sister also has conditions. Every time you leave the village, you must submit a detailed written application to Hokage's Office for her personal approval. Only after approval can it be implemented."
To Uchiha Fugaku, these restrictions are not considered restrictions at all!
Apply to Hokage? Be responsible for Hokage?
Isn't this a matter of course?!
Not only is this not a restriction, but it is a great honor! This means that Konoha Military Police Force will no longer be the security team marginalized by the village's top management, but an armed force directly under the command of Hokage!
What is this? This is the treatment only true direct descendants receive.
An indescribable ecstasy, like a volcano erupting, exploded from the deepest part of his chest, instantly sweeping through his limbs and making all the blood in his body boil!
He seemed to have seen the Uchiha clansmen, wearing Police Force uniforms, proudly Earth Flow walking out of the Konoha gate to hunt down those vicious traitors and defend the peace of Land of Fire!
He seems to have seen that the Gunbai family emblem of Uchiha will once again resound throughout the entire Shinobi World with their illustrious military exploits!
They Uchiha Clan, finally... finally stand up again!
"So... so good..." Fugaku was so excited that he was a little incoherent. He suddenly stood up from his seat and bowed deeply to Senju Chen.
Senju Chen had quick eyes and quick hands, so he quickly stood up and supported him.
"Uncle Fugaku, it doesn't have to be like this, we are allies."
Uchiha Fugaku was supported by him, but his eyes were already red. He looked at the young man in front of him, his voice trembling slightly with extreme excitement. "Chen-kun, this kindness... I Uchiha Fugaku, and my entire Uchiha Clan, will never forget it!"
He knew that this huge surprise could never be proposed by Tsunade. The only person behind it who really facilitated all of this was the strategizing young man in front of him!
My original choice was indeed correct!
Taking sides Senju Chen is the most correct decision he Uchiha Fugaku has ever made in his life!
However, after the great ecstasy, an extremely realistic and extremely difficult problem suddenly poured on Uchiha Fugaku's fiery heart like a bucket of cold water.
His expression changed from ecstasy, to solemnity, to deep embarrassment at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Senju Chen had a panoramic view of all this, but remained calm, just looking at Uchiha Fugaku quietly.
Fugaku sat down again, his brows locked together tightly.
The opportunity is now in front of us.
And there are two.
One is Public Security Department from Senju Chen. Sending the elites of the clan there is to express loyalty and is the best way to integrate into the core of power.
The other is their own Konoha Military Police Force. This is the foundation and the facade of Uchiha. Now that they have the power to go out of the village to enforce the law, it is also a broad road leading to merit.
Here comes the problem.
How should we divide people?
Send all the most elite, experienced, and powerful clan members to the Public Security Department?
This is undoubtedly the best way to express sincerity to Chen-kun and Lord Hokage. But in this way, the remaining people on Konoha Military Police Force's side are the old, weak, sick and disabled. What will be the consequences if the mission out of the village approved by Lord Hokage is failed due to lack of personnel and ability?
Isn't it equivalent to telling everyone that they Uchiha Clan are just a bunch of useless trash, and their true colors will be revealed as soon as they leave the village?
At that time, even if Lord Hokage doesn't say anything, what will the clan leaders and senior officials in the village think of the Uchiha clan? If the village takes back the power of their security department to leave the village, how will he explain to the elders of the clan? Wouldn't he, Uchiha Fugaku, become an eternal sinner who ruins the future of the family?
But the other way around...
Leave all the elites in Konoha Military Police Force and send some crooked or inexperienced young people to the Public Security Department?
Isn't that a slap in the face of Senju Chen and Lord Hokage!
Chen-kun spent so much effort to open up the situation for Uchiha, only to turn around and send him a bunch of burdens? Isn't this a typical burning of bridges?
With Chen-kun's wisdom, how could he not see his own little plan? By then, the friendship will be over, the alliance will be broken, and Uchiha Clan will be beaten back to its original shape again. Without a backer, the situation may be even more difficult than before!
For a moment, Uchiha Fugaku only felt that one was as big as two. The happiness that had just made him float into the clouds instantly turned into a hot potato, which made him in a dilemma and unable to sit still.
Senju Chen Looking at his tangled look, he knew that the heat was almost done.
He coughed softly, breaking the silence in the room.
"Uncle Fugaku... are you in trouble about the exchange of candidates?"
Uchiha Fugaku raised his head suddenly, with a hint of embarrassment showing that his thoughts had been read. He smiled bitterly and nodded, "To be honest Chen-kun, it is indeed true. This happiness came so suddenly, I didn't know what to do for a moment."
Senju Chen smiled.
He leaned forward slightly and said slowly in a heart-to-heart tone, "Uncle Fugaku, maybe we can change our thinking a little bit."
