There was a meeting in the Kazekage Building to determine the trend of the shinobi world, and there was also a meeting in the Hokage Building. Although the meeting was unremarkable, no village dared to ignore it.
The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, sat in the main seat, looking at the young faces crowded around an oversized table, and couldn't help but smile.
He was happy and sincerely gratified.
His most proud disciple Orochimaru, Konoha's sharp sword Sakumo, Tatsu who made great achievements in battle, Shikaku who commanded many battles, Ding Zao, Shiwei, Hizashi, Hizashi, Mikoto, Hime who gradually grew up. Lu, of course...and Kushina.
This group of young ninjas traveled to three countries and abruptly reversed the unfavorable situation to the current situation.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at these energetic young people, it was like suddenly seeing clusters of fresh greenery on a snow-white winter day, which was dizzying and filled with joy.
"First Hokage, Second Hokage, have you seen it? I have lived up to your expectations and passed on the will of fire..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked straight to the door. After crossing the threshold, he turned to look at the young people and said slowly: "Konoha can win one battle after another because of your hard work." !
But I, the Hokage, can only let you young people stand in front, I'm sorry. "
After Sarutobi Hiruzen said these words, he walked away.
Kushina quickly pulled Chen's sleeve and said with a smile: "Chen, did you see, is Uncle Hokage crying?"
The Third Hokage, who had not yet gone far, quickened his pace and said angrily: "It's been very windy in Konoha these two days! Kushina is grounded for a month!"
…
…
With the departure of the Third Hokage, this meeting is over.
Chen did not go home immediately, but walked straight towards the rooftop of the Hokage Building.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, the Third Hokage did not look back, but still looked at the small group of people downstairs.
Tatsuya didn't speak. He took a step forward and stood side by side with the Third Hokage, looking at the scenery of the village.
"I haven't been back for several years. Do you think the village has changed?" the Third Hokage finally asked.
Chen shook his head: "There aren't many changes, except it's a little livelier than the last time I came back... It's still the same scenery, but it seems I'll never get tired of it."
"Yeah, I really don't get tired of watching it. When I'm alone and have nothing to do, I just like to stand here and look at the village and listen to the noise in the distance."
The Third Hokage paused for a moment and said softly: "Chen, you did a great job, even beyond my expectation."
Chen said nothing and continued to wait for the Third Hokage to continue.
"I thought you would come to me in a few days, but I didn't expect you to come now. Tell me... what's going on with the security team?"
The Uchiha clan first came to the Kingdom of Water in the war zone, and later followed Chen to the Kingdom of Earth.
During the period when the Uchiha clan left, the security work of the village was naturally handed over to the Third Hokage, and the Third Hokage was handed over to the Nebe due to lack of manpower.
There are also historical reasons for this.
During the Second Ninja War, a deal was made between the former clan leader Uchiha-san and Danzo, and Danzo received the management rights of the security force for a period of time.
Since he has experience at the root, the Third Hokage is happy to be the boss.
Chen, who was far away in the Kingdom of Wind at the time, did not stop what the Third Hokage did. He even deliberately contributed to the situation and sent the security team out.
After that, the great elder Uchiha Yun took some members of the clan to take a rest, and the Third Hokage prepared to return the guard team, but was rejected by the great elder.
The reason is simple. Uchiha are short of manpower, and most of them are working hard on the battlefield!
Although there is a suspicion of misfortune, it is also true, so the management power is still in the hands of the root.
This one lasts for nearly four years.
Over time, if it weren't for the huge Uchiha mark on the guard team, many villagers would have forgotten that this organization was an Uchiha family business.
How can that be done
So the war was about to end, and the Third Hokage returned it again, but was still rejected.
The Uchiha clan didn't want it, and the Third Hokage couldn't force it, so they waited for Tatsu, the future clan leader, to come back to discuss the matter.
"It's true that I didn't allow them to take over," Chen admitted directly.
The Third Hokage is so experienced. He has held the position of Hokage for most of his life. Naturally, he has deep insights into the distance. He has long seen that it was Chen's order.
So he asked very calmly: "Why?"
Tatsumi said: "Because the Uchiha clan is also an ordinary family in Konoha. Since I have become the clan leader, I will not allow this family to have any privileges!"
Privilege, yes, this is how Chen characterized the police force.
The Konoha Guard is nominally responsible for formulating the village's laws, strengthening and maintaining order and security in Konoha Hidden Village, and arresting ninjas with criminal tendencies.
Just from the sound of it, I feel like this department is very powerful.
But this awesome department is actually a family business, managed by the Uchiha family for generations. Even the logo has the Uchiha family crest in the center.
To ordinary people, this is a special structure.
But in fact, the powers of the police force are very limited. For example, they cannot intervene in matters involving ANBU.
This department is a combination of the urban management and police departments. It manages gambling, fights, alcoholism, small businesses and hawkers...
But has the urban management brigade always been scolded
If something happens to other departments, it can be said that they are temporary workers, but can the police force do that
Moreover, those who have been managing ordinary criminals in the village for a long time will not have the opportunity to go out to perform tasks. Without tasks, the Uchiha clan's combat effectiveness will be weakened, and their eye opening rate will be even lower.
In the second ninja world, Uchiha-san led his men to ambush Sunagakure and suffered huge losses. This is a good example.
Therefore, this organization is a privileged organization in name, but it was actually established by the Second Hokage to weaken and monitor the Uchiha clan.
If a tiger is kept in a cage, it is just an ornamental animal.
But this kind of thing cannot be said clearly.
Chen must start from class antagonism and national unity.
He continued: "Uncle Third Generation, there has never been a department in Konoha that belongs to a certain family, and the police force is no exception! I am ready to return this department to the village to show fairness.
Elder Danzo is very experienced, so why not just leave it to the root management. "
“…”
The Third Hokage frowned and said, "Will your tribe agree? Uchiha has been in control of this department for thirty years."
Chen nodded: "Since I am going to become the clan leader, they must agree to whatever I say."
"Did you know? Many Uchiha ninjas in the police force will develop arrogance after being exposed to prisoners for a long time, and they will enforce the law violently.
This is very detrimental to the Uchiha clan's integration into the village. "
"I am ready to completely change this family and integrate the Uchiha clan into the village."
“If integration is not completed in my generation, there will be no chance in the future.
Do you want to see this ethnic group disappear into the long river of Konoha? "
The Third Hokage fell silent.
