"Alright, now you all get to work and have Chidori recorded in our Uchiha Clan's Ninjutsu scrolls. Let's spread it widely so that every Uchiha can use it fluently!"

As Uchiha Takashi spoke, he walked out of the research institute, where the learned researchers waved repeatedly, shouting, "The clan leader is awesome! The clan leader is the best!"

Amidst the cheers Uchiha Takashi gradually lost himself, becoming somewhat euphoric. "Ugh, this is... the feeling of being fawned over! It's so great! Maybe I should just go to the research institute and get some more Ninjutsu to show off?"

It wasn't until he was quite a distance from the research institute that he suddenly realized, "No, how could I have been so absorbed in those thoughts?"

He has no research skills whatsoever; he's simply transplanted the Ninjutsu from his previous life. If he were to actually study it, he'd be a complete novice.

Almost swayed by the researchers' praise, Uchiha Takashi decided he needed to stay away from research institutes from now on; these researchers were just too terrifying.

"Greetings, Clan Chief!" Just as he was thinking this, he encountered a patrol of Konoha Military Police Force personnel.

The Guard Force immediately greeted Uchiha Takashi Uchiha Takashi, who then noticed the patrol team.

Looking at the members of the Konoha Military Police Force in front of him, dressed in their uniforms, Uchiha Takashi suddenly had an idea. Since he was just idling around anyway, why not go and see what the Konoha Military Police Force was up to?

He wasn't just curious; he was there to inspect the work. As the clan chief, it was his duty to inspect all the departments, wasn't it?

Uchiha Takashi was convinced by his own words, and then he said to the Guard Force members, "You don't need to worry about me, continue your patrol, I'm going to check on headquarters."

The Konoha Military Police Force officers nodded, then picked up their swords and continued their patrol.

Watching them leave, Uchiha Takashi scratched his head. He didn't know what the Konoha Military Police Force was doing patrolling the clan's headquarters with swords, but he decided to respect their actions.

Soon, Uchiha Takashi arrived at the entrance of the Konoha Military Police Force building. Guard Force Guard Force members were constantly going in and out of the gate, along with many civilians, creating a bustling scene.

Inside the Guard Force, the scene was even busier.

A number of civilians surrounded the front desk, chattering about their problems, while inside, many Guard Force walked back and forth carrying various documents, constantly shouting something.

"Clan leader? What are you doing here? Is there something you need to tell me?" Just as Uchiha Takashi was standing there looking around, a voice suddenly appeared behind him.

Uchiha Takashi turned around and saw that it was Uchiha Seki, the Uchiha Shin, the reincarnation of Indra.

"Oh, it's Shuo. I came here to see how your work is going. It seems the Guard Force is quite busy. What are your daily tasks?"

Uchiha Takashi pointed to the busy reception desk and the civilians gathered outside and asked...

Uchiha Seki looked in the direction he was pointing, then replied, "Actually, it's alright, not too busy. Our daily work mainly involves handling various emergencies within the headquarters."

To mediate conflicts among clan members, punish offenders according to the law, and discipline those who violate the law.

There are also reports from family members, and there are many other issues, which I can't possibly go through one by one.

Uchiha Takashi nodded. "I know that. After all, I was the one who first proposed the Konoha Military Police Force, so I'm quite familiar with these things."

I just wanted to ask, what kinds of problems do you usually deal with?

Upon hearing this question, Uchiha Seki looked up and pondered for a moment, then, somewhat uncertain, asked, "Shouldn't it be fighting and brawling?"

Uchiha Takashi was puzzled by his uncertain words. He could understand that fighting and brawling were common occurrences, given the Uchiha's personality, but why was he so uncertain?

"Why 'should'? Is there some other thing that's similar to fighting?"

Uchiha Seki shook his head. "That's not it. It's mainly because we don't know how to judge these kinds of fights."

In short, we can't be sure whether those things qualify as fighting or brawling, because they seem normal to us, but legally they definitely constitute fighting or brawling.

Uchiha Takashi understood now. To put it bluntly, what seemed normal according to the Uchiha Clan's traditions was illegal fighting and brawling under the law.

Therefore, Uchiha Seki was somewhat confused as to whether to follow the law or the clan's general rules.

Uchiha Takashi: "What other questions are there that you can't answer? And who else is as uncertain as you are?"

Uchiha Seki pondered again, and then listed several behaviors that were consistent with the Uchiha Clan's character but were illegal under the law.

Uchiha Takashi wrote all of this down and decided to strengthen the underlying logic of the legal system within his clan when he returned.

The law has been in effect for about half a year, but many things that were previously done according to family rules or established customs are now illegal under the new law.

However, based on the previous lenient management, the clan members developed the habit of following the clan's customs, which became the primary standard.

Uchiha Takashi believed this was absolutely unacceptable. If the Uchiha wanted to establish a nation and unify the entire Shinobi World in the future, they needed a strict legal enforcement procedure.

Furthermore, the law must be thoroughly implemented; it is absolutely unacceptable to use the law as a pretext while simultaneously adhering to so-called social norms.

With two sets of standard logics in place, society would inevitably descend into chaos. Therefore, he was determined to emphasize the absolute authority of the law to his people.

It is essential to make every member of the tribe realize that the law is the minimum standard and must never be violated. Just as morality and the rule of law state, we must cultivate a habit of respecting and obeying the law.

"Are there any other requests? For example, do you think the uniforms of the Guard Force are not good-looking, or do you have any opinions on the equipment or system?"

Uchiha Takashi continued, "Please feel free to voice any opinions you may have, and I will do my best to make improvements."

Uchiha Seki blinked, then asked, "Can I call the others over to make our demands together?"

Upon hearing how troublesome this was, Uchiha Takashi looked up and thought for a moment before saying, "Forget it, I'll send you a questionnaire afterward. Write down your opinions on it, and I'll look at it then."

As Uchiha Takashi spoke, he pondered in his mind whether he should install a clan leader's suggestion box at the foot of his office building, so that every clan member could offer him their opinions.

It looks pretty good, I'll set it up when I get back.
