Transmigrating as the Third Hokage: Make Konoha Great Again!

Kushina lowered her head, her eyes brimming with tears: "Thank you, thank you, Third Hokage, thank you, transfer advisor!"

"The village has always had you in its heart, Kushina..." Minato Namikaze sat beside Kushina, gently comforting his beloved.

"I won't bother you any longer." Xiaochun sighed inwardly and turned to leave.

After going outside, I looked up at the sky.

Xiaochun, who was turning over to her new room, had mixed feelings.

That's really good...

When exactly did I start talking about the Will of Fire while secretly believing that ninjas were just tools?

Shouldn't a village serve this purpose?

And at this moment.

On the other side of the village.

Sakumo Hatake was also pondering the issue of Konoha's new security force.

He found Uchiha Fugaku.

018 Hiruzen Sarutobi's methods are too ruthless; he actually gave money to the Uchiha clan.

Konoha Police Department.

Sakumo Hatake sipped his tea, taking in the interior of the police department.

It's alright...

This organization, created by the Second Hokage and exclusively for the Uchiha clan, is responsible for maintaining order and security within the village and has the function of arresting criminal ninjas.

Adjacent to the police headquarters is Konoha Prison.

Ordinary genin and chunin, unless something unexpected happens, might never even come here once in their entire lives...

Fugaku Uchiha sat opposite Sakumo Hatake.

Holding a document in his hands, he frowned and read it carefully.

This is a compilation of Hiruzen Sarutobi's account and Sakumo Hatake's written plan for the Konoha patrol force.

"So, are you interested?"

While sipping his tea, Hatake Sakumo reached for the snacks next to Fugaku: "Can I eat this? Kakashi made a little less saury this morning, I'm not full."

Fugaku rolled his eyes inwardly.

This is the security headquarters, and you've turned it into a canteen, haven't you?! Eating and drinking here...

And you, as a father, make your son cook, right?

"Please make yourself at home." That was what he thought in his heart, but Fugaku Uchiha acted very warmly.

"Try my wife's cooking."

Sakumo Hatake's gesture was actually a gesture of goodwill.

Fugaku was genuinely unsure about Shiroya's abilities.

A few days ago, during his break, Fugaku and some friends got drunk and complained that Hatake Sakumo looked dignified, but was actually a guy with a very wicked sense of humor!

Yatsushiro chimed in, "Sakuya is the most cunning of them all. He tells others he uses a sword, but he actually uses Lightning Release: Entangling Thousand Years of Death!"

After learning about the nature of the Thousand Years of Death technique, Fugaku sobered up considerably.

Who would be so kind as to research this kind of technique?

Add lightning release as well?

"These three-colored dumplings are delicious. You have a good wife, Fugaku." Sakumo Hatake ate with relish.

"I'm glad you like it!" Fugaku Uchiha smiled. He had joked with Mikoto before that his son would like the dumplings after they were born.

"Is this plan the Third Hokage's idea?" Fugaku Uchiha coughed lightly and got to the point.

"Of course, besides the three generations of elders, who else can restore order to the village?"

Sakumo Hatake said in surprise, "Didn't it say that at the very beginning of the plan? Didn't you read it carefully?"

Fugaku Uchiha felt a tightness in his chest.

He certainly knew it was Hiruzen Sarutobi's intention, and he saw it too…

Isn't this just a random opening line to end the small talk and get to the point?

He discovered that Konoha's White Fang was extremely meticulous!

And then there's the fact that only the Hokage can restore order...

Fugaku Uchiha felt that Sakumo Hatake was hinting at something, but he had no evidence.

"Overall, this is good for the police force and for the Uchiha clan..." Fugaku Uchiha carefully chose his words.

He couldn't see anything unusual in the plan.

It was actually about bringing together some of the Uchiha clan members who had been wounded in battle but were experienced.

Alternatively, members who hold sinecure positions in the police department and have extra time and energy to earn more money may join this new security system.

The problem is...

There were no reductions in the police force's original functions, nor were there any cuts in funding.

Is that correct?

The entire text only mentions the current inadequacy of Konoha's security forces. Although it mentions the Kushina Uzumaki incident, it doesn't place all the blame on the police department.

Is this still the style of Konoha's higher-ups?

Could such a pie really fall from the sky?

He had spoken with Chief Yixin in private.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's public emphasis on security is a harbinger of an impending attack.

We must be wary of this tactic. If it does happen, we must argue our case and find fault with other departments.

"Very good, does that mean you agree?"

Sakumo Hatake said with a smile, "Vice Minister Fugaku, it's good to go back and talk to the clansmen. Joining is not mandatory."

“The Uchiha are important members of the village and have a wealth of experience. I personally hope that you can join us. The Third Hokage emphasized your importance to the village.”

"The funds for the patrol unit were donated to the village by the Third Hokage, who hoped to also take care of the Uchiha clan members."

Fugaku Uchiha's expression turned solemn: "Thank you for your concern, Third Hokage!"

"Give me an answer as soon as possible. I'll reserve one spot for the Uchiha in each team." Sakumo Hatake stood up and extended his hand to Fugaku:

"We hope the police department can provide assistance to the patrol forces."

Their hands clasped together.

After Sakumo Hatake left, Fugaku hurriedly sought out Isshin Uchiha.

This old man was the backbone of Fugaku and the entire Uchiha clan; he was a living fossil of the Uchiha.

After hearing Fugaku's description, Isshin remained silent for a long time, and took out his pipe, something he hadn't done in a long time.

He exhaled puffs of smoke.

"Clan Chief Isshin, stop smoking and say something!" Fugaku said urgently.

"I never imagined Hiruzen Sarutobi's methods were so vicious; he's almost as ruthless as that bastard..."

Uchiha Isshin's voice was hoarse: "I never expected that they would actually give money and jobs to the clansmen!"

A look of confusion appeared on Fugaku's face.

What are you talking about?

Seeing Fugaku's expression, Isshin became even more grief-stricken: "Didn't I say that we should never forget the history of our clan!"

"When the guard department was first established, everyone thought it was a good thing, but what about now?"

"You only saw Hiruzen Sarutobi's benefits, but you didn't see the conspiracy behind it..." Isshin Uchiha took another deep drag of his cigarette, stimulating his mind:

"This so-called security force, yes, it hasn't encroached on the functions of the guard department yet, but what about in the future?"

"These clansmen have obtained new jobs and money, and have come into contact with the pro-Hokage faction in Konoha. In the long run, will they still remember that our Uchiha should have a Hokage position?"

Fugaku frowned.

He felt that Uchiha Isshin's words were somewhat extreme, but also made a lot of sense.

"These Uchiha who joined the patrol force are a vulnerable group and are easier to bribe."

"They themselves have little say within the clan, but they have relatives and friends; one person can have the propaganda effect of ten..."

He sighed heavily, "And it was Hiruzen Sarutobi who donated this money!"

Fugaku said in a deep voice, "Then we'll refuse! We'll say the police force is too busy..."

"reject?"

Uchiha Isshin gave a wry smile: "How can you refuse? The clansmen won't understand. They've extended an olive branch, and we're going to burn it with fire jutsu..."

"If we refuse this time, we're afraid we won't even be able to ask for a say in the future if there are any changes in power within the village!"

If someone doesn't participate in welfare-related activities that are also beneficial to the village, why should they be in a high-ranking position?

Fugaku was stunned and quickly asked, "What should we do then?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?!"

At this moment, Uchiha Isshin seemed to have aged many years; in Fugaku's eyes, even the wrinkles on his skin seemed to have deepened.

“I am an incompetent clan leader, Fugaku.”

“Whenever I think of the previous patriarchs, the eldest patriarch had great strength, the young patriarch had wisdom, and even my brother Setsuna had a fierce courage.”

"What do I have? I have nothing, so I can only follow the last words left by the young clan leader Izuna."

"Don't trust Tobirama Senju!"
