Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Defending the Police Department, Being Cut by the Third Hokage's Soft Knife!
"Hokage-sama, although I can understand the difficulties of the village, Uchiha has been constantly improving the requirements for law enforcement, and the complaints received have been much less than before, and only a few civil servants can handle it.
I hope Hokage-sama can also understand Uchiha's difficulties. As the village continues to prosper under Hokage-sama's leadership."
"Uchiha needs to be responsible for more and more patrol areas. The police department has expanded several batches of manpower, and there is really no way to deal with these things."
Fugaku flattered the Third Hokage a little bit, and then sold a wave of misery.
In fact, it's not a sell-off, because Uchiha is indeed facing such a situation.
After all, not every Uchiha ninja will join the police department, many ninjas choose to join some small teams to perform tasks.
After the family ninjas are scattered everywhere, even if Uchiha is a big family, there will be a shortage of manpower.
People like to hear good words, and the Third Hokage is no exception. Even if he knows that Uchiha Fugaku deliberately said this, he feels a bit comfortable in his heart,
Because under his leadership, Konohagakure has indeed become prosperous.
"What you said makes sense, Uchiha's manpower is indeed a bit insufficient."
What do you mean?
Seeing the Third Hokage say this, Fugaku's heart jumped, thinking that the other party wanted to persuade him to expand the police department and stuff other family ninjas and civilian ninjas in.
So he decisively said:
"Hokage-sama, Uchiha's manpower is a bit insufficient, but the operation of the police department is still guaranteed, please believe us, Hokage-sama."
If Yan is here, he will definitely scold: Stupid!!
What good is it for Uchiha to stick to the police department?
Don't they want to stuff people in?
Agree with him, and by the way, put forward some conditions!
As an exchange, even if other family ninjas, or even civilian ninjas, join the police department, what can they do?
The police department is Uchiha's territory. As long as the basic backbone does not change, these ninjas who join in can only become little brothers at most.
What dirty work, hard work to give them, isn't it cool?
As expected, Fugaku still stubbornly defended the police department, unwilling to relax a bit, and the Third Hokage sighed slightly.
"In that case, I will select some people to be responsible for the complaints, but as you know, the village's finances....."
"The police department will cover the salary expenses for these individuals."
If you don't let people in, you have to bleed.
This is a must!
Fugaku quickly agreed, for him, as long as the complaint problem is not thrown on Uchiha's head, everything else is easy to say.
Supporting a group of incumbents, Uchiha can still afford it.
As long as these people are responsible for dealing with the trouble of complaints.
In this way, his promise to the clan was also fulfilled.
This kid really knows how to trouble me.
After ending all kinds of bargaining with the Third Hokage, Fugaku walked out of the Hokage office building and let out a heavy sigh.
Although the process was a bit troublesome, fortunately, everything was over.
Next, Uchiha only needs to be responsible for the police department, and as for the complaint problem, there will be a special department to solve it.
A big stone in Fugaku's heart fell.
The Third Hokage also indirectly relieved a lot of pressure on the village's finances.
Although he wanted to boil Uchiha with the method of boiling frogs in warm water, he didn't want to force Uchiha too much.
Once there is no way out, rabbits will bite people when they are anxious, let alone the first major family in the ninja world.
At least it's the first big family on the surface.
"Uchiha Yan? It seems that we need to strengthen the surveillance."
Yan's behavior of picking the time to run to the gate of the ninja school has already displeased the Third Hokage, and now he is starting to emerge in the family.
This is not what the Third Hokage wants to see.
Even if Yan has no intention of joining the hardliners.
Not now, what about in the future?
In order to prevent more variables from happening, the Third Hokage decided to strengthen the surveillance of Yan by one level.
Returning to the family, Fugaku immediately called people and held a simple family meeting. There were not many people attending the meeting, only him as the clan leader, and several elders, plus the squad leader of the police department.
Upon receiving the notice, Yan also put down the things at hand and came to the clan leader's courtyard.
Several elders are still the last group of people to come.
Everyone's eyes are focused on Fugaku, obviously a little impatient to know the result of the clan leader going to the Hokage office building for negotiations.
Even Yan is curious whether the Third Hokage will agree to Uchiha's proposal.
Is it a strong rejection, or is it still cutting Uchiha's meat with a soft knife?
When everyone was there, Fugaku didn't make some unnecessary things to hang everyone's appetite.
"Gentlemen, I went to the Hokage office building and proposed our Uchiha Police Department's wish to Hokage-sama. After some discussions and negotiations, the final result is that from now on, matters about the police department's complaints will no longer be handled by the police department, but by a special department.
However, the village's finances are tight, and the expenses of this department need to be paid by Uchiha from the police department."
It's equivalent to Uchiha paying for it himself, raising a group of people to handle complaints.
This price can be said to be not small.
But does Uchiha lack this money?
Definitely not lacking, Uchiha is afraid of trouble, especially all kinds of entangled complaints.
Facing those nagging people, under the premise that they can't teach people, they can make your head explode.
Once it is not handled well, it will face the village's blame or even punishment.
"Great."
Many squad leaders, as well as the elders, all showed surprised smiles, even Shisui, the spy, also showed a happy smile.
This is definitely a great thing for Uchiha.
"This is definitely a victory won by Uchiha!!!"
Looking at the excited look of the eldest elder, Yan rolled his eyes secretly..
You say it's a good thing for Uchiha, I admit this point.
But to say it is a victory, what are you talking about?
This is clearly cutting Uchiha's meat with a soft knife.
Looking at the smiling eldest elder and others, Fugaku knew very well what these people were thinking, and he would not give these people a chance.
"Yan."
Fugaku directly called him:
"About the proposal to handle complaints, you proposed it, about the family and the police department, do you have any ideas?"
The eyes of the crowd fell on Yan.
Not kind-hearted.
Knowing that Fugaku deliberately guided everything to himself, Yan did not intend to evade, pretending to think for a moment, and answered:
"I think the task of the police department should be rectified. Our police department is responsible for the security issues of the entire Konohagakure, and even joins in important tasks such as arresting criminals and spies."
"Those trivial matters, such as catching cats and finding dogs, can be completely rejected, and let the villagers publish tasks by themselves, and ask ninjas to find them."
You didn't hear wrong, it's catching cats and dogs.
