Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 231 It's Impossible to Become a Father Unexpectedly

Below the Konoha Police Department building, apart from some ninjas patrolling inside and outside the village, everyone else stood in an open space, arranged in squads.

In addition to the nine squads, the civilian staff of the police department and the prison guards of the police department's prisons were also specially arranged into a squad, making a total of eleven small square formations.

Each squad leader, assistant minister, and warden stood at the front of their respective squad. If there was no squad leader for the time being, the deputy squad leader would take over.

The Assistant Minister is responsible for managing the civilian staff of the Police Department, while the Warden is naturally the prison guard who manages the prisons of the Police Department.

Surrounded by two vice ministers, Uchiha Gen entered the police department and then went up the steps of the police department entrance.

Gen Uchiha didn't really like wearing the green vest that Konoha wore, so he didn't.

He wore a black sweater on top, black trousers on the bottom, a long sword at his waist, and a black trench coat with silver patterns on the top. Combined with his handsome face, he exuded a dashing and dashing air.

The other two vice ministers were also dressed casually; the major ninja villages are quite tolerant of the attire of Jonin.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Everyone bowed and greeted each other, speaking in unison.

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Gen felt a pang of emotion.

When he first came into this world, he was just a lowly soldier standing below. Now he is the head of the police department and the leader of the Uchiha clan!

Although he was only considered a second-highest-ranking member in Konoha, and his status was slightly lower than that of the Konoha F4, his actual power was in no way inferior to that of Danzo and his two companions.

"Everyone, please rise," Uchiha Gen said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone straightened their backs and looked at the excessively young minister with expectant eyes.

Uchiha Gen then delivered a speech, using the most dignified and respectable language imaginable, something everyone in this world loved to hear.

His speech ignited the passion of the audience and filled them with renewed energy for their work.

After the speech, Uchiha Gen, accompanied by two vice ministers and the minister's assistant, went to the minister's private office.

This office is the largest, has the best lighting, and is the most luxuriously decorated; it has always been the office of the Minister of Police.

After the two vice ministers left, Uchiha Gen sat down in the chair that had once belonged to Uchiha Fugaku and reminisced about it.

"I don't really like this chair. Please replace it with a softer one that can swivel and recline."

"Yes, Minister." The minister's assistant quickly replied.

Although he had never heard of this chair before, it didn't stop him from agreeing immediately and then doing everything he could to get it.

As the former minister's assistant, he must gain the new minister's approval in the shortest possible time to prevent being replaced.

This must be a test from the minister!

"Minister, what do you usually like to drink?"

"Keep a little bit of tea, juice, coffee, and alcohol on hand so I can change things up from time to time."

"Yes, Minister."

"What would you like to drink now?"

After a moment's thought, Uchiha Gen said, "I'll have a cup of coffee."

"Yes, please wait a moment."

Uchiha Gen waved his hand, and the department head's assistant immediately turned and left.

Two minutes later, Uchiha Gen was sipping his aromatic coffee while flipping through police department documents.

When you first arrive, the priority should be to understand the situation. Giving orders without understanding the situation is just giving blind advice.

Uchiha Gen spent most of the afternoon reviewing documents and gathering information, but he still issued an order before leaving get off work.

That is to increase the salaries of police officers below the rank of captain by 20%, and the salaries of management personnel at the rank of captain and above by 10%.

Who doesn't like a raise?

Naturally, this won cheers and support.

Wage increases are not something that can be arbitrarily decided on a whim.

This conclusion was reached by Uchiha Gen after carefully calculating the financial situation of the police department and the salary system of its members at all levels.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, such a price increase would be both surprising and unlikely to cause financial problems for the police department.

If something unexpected happens, Uchiha Gen has already come up with a solution: cut the expenses for prison inmates.

Why would a criminal need to eat so well?

As long as we don't starve to death, that's fine.

……

After finishing work, Uchiha Gen headed to his new home, smiling as he greeted his clansmen along the way.

Since it was winter and darkness fell early, the house was brightly lit when I arrived at the gate, where three figures stood.

Mikoto Uchiha stood in front, holding Sasuke, with Itachi beside her.

Welcome home.

Mikoto Uchiha smiled broadly, hugged Sasuke, and bowed slightly.

"Miss Mikoto, you don't need to do that anymore, especially in the middle of winter," Uchiha Gen said with a smile, shaking his head.

"understood."

"Quickly call for help."

"Welcome home, Dad."

Itachi and Sasuke spoke at the same time, but the latter looked reluctant.

Sasuke didn't understand why his father was calling someone else "dad" when his father had only gone on a long trip.

Uchiha Gen was startled; he certainly didn't want to become a father unexpectedly.

"Misaka-nee, there's no need for that. Itachi and Sasuke both have memories now and know who their father is."

"Just call me brother, it makes me feel uncomfortable, and it's not appropriate for my age."

"We're all already familiar with each other, so let's be casual with each other. Being too polite will only make us uncomfortable."

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious."

Hearing Uchiha Gen say that, Mikoto was also very happy, though she also felt quite awkward.

"Alright, I'll do as you say."

"Call someone else."

"Brother Xuan."

Itachi and Sasuke spoke at the same time. This time, Sasuke didn't look reluctant; that's how he always called out to others.

Uchiha Gen smiled and nodded, then said, "Let's go, everyone go inside."

"Yes, the food is ready. Shall we go eat now, or change our clothes first?"

"Let's eat them right away; these two little ones are probably starving."

Touched by her words, Mikoto smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay."

The four of them entered the courtyard together and went straight to the dining room.

The layout of this residence was basically based on Uchiha Gen's preferences, so the dining area was a table and chairs, rather than a low table where people sat on the floor.

Mikoto brought over a basin of warm water, a white towel draped over her wrist, and said with a smile, "I don't know if these dishes will suit your taste..."

While washing his hands, Uchiha Gen said, "Mikoto-nee, your cooking is really good. I quite like these dishes."

"If you want to improve, I'll have my shadow clones teach you to cook more dishes in the future."

"Okay, I know you're a better cook than me."

Afterwards, Itachi and Sasuke washed and dried their hands, but they sat properly in their chairs without touching their chopsticks.

It's clear that Itachi and Sasuke, both from wealthy families, had excellent upbringing.

The Akimichi family didn't do this very well. They are a family of moderate size, and their behavior of fighting over food is quite annoying.

Uchiha Gen didn't touch his chopsticks either, but waited until Mikoto returned and sat down before saying, "Don't just stand there, start eating, eat whatever you want."

After saying that, Uchiha Gen was the first to pick up his chopsticks.

After Uchiha Genji returned the food, the mother and her two children started eating, each taking a bite of their favorite dishes.

After the meal, Mikoto didn't need to clean up the tableware; the servants would take care of that.

Mikoto took Sasuke to play, while Itachi stayed with Uchiha Gen, asking him questions about training and even demonstrating some techniques.

Time passed by little by little, and soon it was time for the two brothers to rest.

Itachi went to take a bath and rest by himself, while young Sasuke needed Mikoto to take care of him.

After the two brothers rested, Uchiha Gen went to take a bath, and then Mikoto followed him...

It's frustrating. I spent twenty-five days writing the outline, and it's almost finished, but I'm experiencing writer's block.
