Naruto, aspiring to become a well-known figure in the ninja world

What a terrifying insight...

Uchiha Fugaku didn't dare to think about whether their Uchiha Hawk Faction's rebellion plan would have any possibility of success by standing on the opposite side of Gojo Kegetsu.

Fugaku was silent.

As a suggestion, the best option is undoubtedly to find an opportunity to kill Gojo Jieyue. But as Gojo Jieyue said, he is an indecisive clan leader and cannot absolutely side with one side.

pop-

Gojo Jieyue clapped his hands to break the heavy and depressing atmosphere.

"Okay, no kidding."

"In fact, I have already figured out how to change the prejudice of the Konoha high-level officials against the Uchiha clan. Believe me, Fugaku, no one wants the Uchiha clan and the Hokage clan to coexist peacefully more than I do."

What a joke. If there really were to be any conflict, the first one to get into trouble would be Gojo Jieyue.

"Really?!"

Uchiha Fugaku became excited: "What kind of method?"

Gojo Jieyue habitually tapped the wooden table with his finger: "As you can see, Fugaku, I am just an ordinary Chunin, and a small figure with little influence in the political ecology of Konoha. But it happens that I have a lot of experience in this kind of problem~"

"There are many ways. The simplest one is to transfer the conflict. Transfer the conflict between Uchiha and the Hokage system to the conflict between Uchiha and the Hokage system and any other major country."

"Of course, Konoha can no longer withstand the consumption of war, so let's not talk about this for now."

Gojo Kegetsu waved his hand to suppress the doubt that Uchiha Fugaku was about to blurt out.

"Another way is to eliminate conflicts. Start with the misunderstandings of the Uchiha by ordinary ninja and villagers."

"Patriarch Fugaku, let me ask you a question first. How many people really have prejudices because they experienced the darkness of the Uchiha?"

"This... definitely won't be much. Since I became the Minister of Police, I have issued many orders and dealt with the problem of rough law enforcement, but the stereotype of us Uchiha has never changed..."

Snapped--

Gojo Jieyue snapped his fingers: "In other words, most of the prejudices against Uchiha are just hearsay."

"We need an article, one that will change the stereotypes of Uchiha in other major countries and even within the Land of Fire."

"Articles? What kind of articles?"

Uchiha Fugaku frowned even deeper. He had tried this method before, posting notices on the police department's bulletin board, but few people paid attention to it.

"Get some paper and pen—!"

Volume 8: "Don't Steal the Soldier's Food Pills for Hunger"

["Don't Steal the Soldier's Food Pills for Hunger"]

[The 39th year of Konoha was the most economically depressed period for Konoha Village. The Second Ninja World War almost drained Konoha’s blood]

[On this day, the police department of Konoha Village was dealing with a difficult case. It didn't involve any powerful ninjas. The person brought in was an old lady in her sixties, with a look of sorrow and shame. She was brought to the Konoha Police Department by the owner of the Konoha Bingliangwan store because she stole Bingliangwan from the store.]

[The head of the police department asked, "Old lady, did you really steal the Bingliang pills from the Bingliang pill room?" The old lady lowered her head and replied in a stammering voice, "Yes, Minister, I did steal them.]

[The head of the police department asked again: "What was your motive for stealing the Bingliang pills? Was it because you were hungry?"]

[“Yes.” The old lady raised her head, looked at the head of the police department and said, “I am hungry, but I need more food pills to feed my three war orphans who lost their parents in the Ninja World War. They haven’t eaten for several days. I can’t watch them starve to death.”]

【After hearing the old lady's words, the Konoha Police Department began to chatter. The Chief of Police swung his shuriken and said seriously, "Quiet! Now the verdict will be announced. Old lady, I must act impartially and enforce the laws of Konoha.】

[You have two choices: a fine of 10000 taels or imprisonment for ten days. The old lady had a painful and remorseful expression on her face. She said to the Minister of Police, "Minister, I have broken the law and am willing to accept the punishment. If I had 10000 taels, I would not have stolen the Bingliang Pills. I am willing to be imprisoned for 10 days, but who will take care of my three grandchildren who lost their parents in the Ninja War?"]

[At this time, a young ordinary police officer in the police department stood up, bowed to the old lady, and said, "Please accept the judgment of 10000 taels." Then he turned to the other people in the police room, took out 1000 taels and placed them in front of the old lady]

[“Everyone, I am the most ordinary member of the Uchiha clan. Now, please pay a fine of 1000 taels each. This is to pay for our indifference, to punish us for living in a village where grandmothers have to steal military ration pills to feed their grandchildren.”]

[The police station suddenly fell silent. After a moment, all the police department members stood up silently, and each of them carefully took out 1000 taels and placed them in front of the old lady. Even the police chief was no exception. In the end, the amount placed in front of the old lady was far more than 1 taels.]

[An ordinary ninja who wishes to remain anonymous heard the police chief mutter to himself afterwards: "If a person commits a crime for money, that person is guilty; if a person commits a crime for the sake of the Hyouryo Maru, the village is guilty; if a person commits a crime for dignity, everyone in the village is guilty."]

……

……

Uchiha Fugaku sat there in a daze, holding the article just written by Gojo Kegetsu in his hand, unable to say a word.

The Yin-Touch Chakra brought by the Sharingan constantly stimulated his brain, causing his thinking center to work frantically.

In what year was he born in Konoha?

It seems to be... the 19th year of Konoha!

Who was the Chief of Konoha Police Department in Konoha 39 years?

"If I remember correctly, my father died in battle in 37, and I succeeded him as the Chief of Police at that time... So, the Chief of Police of Konoha in 39 is me, Uchiha Fugaku!"

Uchiha Fugaku nodded in sudden realization.

"So... I was the one who dealt with the old lady who stole the ration pills... huh?"

Uchiha Fugaku was even more confused. When did this happen?

That was the 39th year of Konoha, and now is the 51st year of Konoha.

Twelve years of war are enough to make people forget many things.

He was almost out of chakra, and his memory center didn't remember encountering such a thing in the 39th year of Konoha.

Moreover, how could such a thing happen in that war-torn era! Everyone knows that severe punishments should be used in troubled times. More often than not, the evil men with dragon and tiger tattoos were imprisoned and severely tortured by the police.

There is no such thing as 100 taels of tenderness, only screams and wails in exchange for fists as big as sandbags.

Fugaku looked up at Gojo Kegetsu, who was drinking tea and chatting and laughing with his wife, then lowered his head and read the article a few more times...

"Could it be that... I have lost some of my memories due to excessive training of the Sharingan over the years?"

Uchiha Fugaku fell into deep self-doubt.

Something is wrong, something out of ten or even nine points is wrong.

The whole article exudes a weird and strange atmosphere, which made the person involved, Uchiha Fugaku, once think that it was because the Yintun Chakra affected the brain.

Finally, he raised his head and looked at Gojo Jieyue again, and asked in an uncertain tone: "Um... Gojo-kun, I don't quite understand."

Uchiha Mikoto stroked her belly, covered her mouth, and laughed softly. Gojo Kegetsu turned his head away, and because of the black satin blindfold, his expression could not be seen, but Fugaku seemed to be able to sense his confusion.

That silent doubt was like a question: "It's written so clearly, don't you understand? Uchiha idiot."

Uchiha Fugaku felt a little ashamed. After all, it was Gojo Kegetsu who saw through him completely. His thoughts could no longer keep up with him.

"Please give me your advice." Fugaku said sincerely.

"Is there anything you don't understand?" Gojo Jieyue asked back.

Fugaku pointed at the article whose ink was not yet dry: "It says the Ministry of Police in 39. I was the Minister at that time, but I don't remember such a case at that time..."

"Of course you don't remember it, because I made this article up completely~"

"Ah? Fabricating, isn't that just lying?"

"So what?"

It seemed like Uchiha Fugaku was meeting Gojo Kegetsu for the first time. Lying was of course very common, but for ninjas like them who danced on the edge of a knife, what was lying a big deal?

But the key point is that this article is used to reverse the prejudice of the "others" in this world against Uchiha.

How can a beautiful vision built on lies be realized?

Gojo Kegetsu's pair of bright, intelligent eyes seemed to see Fugaku's doubts through the black satin: "You are worried that if someone exposes it, the Uchiha will be labeled as a 'clan of liars' and fall into a deeper abyss, right?"

"That's right, Gojo-kun. I'm worried..."

"Who would remember?" Gojo Jieyue asked back, "Even you, the person involved, have to think about it for so long, who would remember what happened 12 years ago?"

"But...what about the Root? What if Shimura Danzo, including the Sandaime, wanted to suppress us Uchiha and deliberately spread the truth?"

Gojo Jieyue was even more confused: "Think about it, why is the Uchiha clan so prejudiced?"

"It's because... people just follow what they say!"

Volume 9: No one knows Konoha better than me!

"Once people have a preconceived notion about something, it becomes very difficult to change the impression."

"That's why the Uchiha are so badly regarded by ordinary ninjas and villagers in Konoha."

"What would happen if, when this article spread throughout Konoha, Patriarch Fugaku arranged for actors to act as eyewitnesses of Konoha's 39 years before Shimura Danzo could take action?"

"Or, if a similar incident 'happened' to happen in the police department on that day, and happened to spread throughout Konoha, how would the views of ordinary ninjas and villagers, and even the younger generation of the great ninjas who did not experience that period, change towards the Uchiha?"

The series of rhetorical questions left Fugaku dizzy. He silently thought about the possibility raised by Gojo Kegetsu.

"What was Patriarch Fugaku's reaction when he first saw this article?"

Uchiha Fugaku was about to speak, but he saw Gojo Kegetsu holding up a finger to silence him: "Don't answer so quickly, let Madam Mikoto take a look too."

"After reading, you two should write down your first impressions of the Konoha Guard on a piece of paper and see if they agree~"

Gojo Kegetsu pulled out the white paper with the article written on it and handed it to Uchiha Mikoto.

a long time……

Looking at the same words on the paper, the couple fell silent.

【Kind】

The couple looked at each other and understood the emotions in each other's eyes.

Even as a member of the Uchiha clan, even as an eyewitness to the events in the article, my first reaction after reading the article was -

[Oh my god! Konoha Police Department is really a warm place. The people there must be sunny, kind, and advocate peace and civilization.]

Even people like them would have such a reaction, let alone different people who don't have a deep understanding of that time period.

Horrible, so terrible!

Uchiha Fugaku looked deeply at Gojo Kegetsu. For the first time, he felt awe for someone other than a powerful ninja. For the Uchiha clan, who valued the power of force, this was almost the highest praise.

Terrible man.

The air fell silent again. The two men remained silent, and no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

At this time, Uchiha Mikoto whispered her own opinion: "If that's the case, why not mention the name 'Uchiha' more often in the article?"

"Wouldn't this further deepen people's impression that the Uchiha are a 'kind clan'?"

"No, that won't do, Mrs. Mikoto."

"That would seem a bit too deliberate."

Gojo Kegetsu shook his finger in front of Uchiha Mikoto and said, "To change the stereotype, we as the parties involved should not take the initiative to bring up such things. Instead, we should wait for those who know about it to discover the truth themselves through word of mouth."

"There is only one seemingly casual mention of 'Uchiha' in the entire text. This is a hint, guiding people to actively explore the composition of the security department in the text."

"It seems like there are no Uchiha, but there are Uchiha everywhere!"

"When the truth is discovered, when you realize how profoundly you have misunderstood the 'kind Uchiha' clan over the years, the guilt will erupt like a volcano!"

Gojo Jieyue spread his arms and shouted:

"The deeper the misunderstanding of Uchiha was, the stronger the emotion will be after the reversal. This is the reversal technique!"

The shocked couple got goose bumps all over their bodies.

"Even the most vicious ninja has a soft side deep down. Facing misunderstandings caused by good qualities such as kindness can best inspire people's desire to protect~"

"By then, there might be a wave of 'protecting the Uchiha'."

"Even if the Uchiha still cannot get a seat in Konoha's upper echelons in the end, the environment they are in will be far better than it is now!"

"Even if the fifth generation inherits Danzo or the second generation, unless he completely abandons the attitude of civilians and civilian ninjas and implements a high-pressure rule like the Hidden Mist Village, it will be almost impossible to suppress the Uchiha to their current dire situation."

Gojo Jieyue's rhythmic and emotional voice hit the Uchiha couple's "simple" worldview like a violent storm.
