The Fifth Leaf Village

"It went pretty smoothly." Uchiha Douhuan said, "Although we failed to capture Orochimaru, we did gain some important insights. More importantly, all the members of our family returned safely."

During the new book period, I hope you brothers will read and support it.

In addition, there is the book recommendation session.

First of all, the style of Yi Anju’s new book "Restricted Death God" should be the same as his previous books. I highly recommend it!

Then there is Nong Moju's "Becoming a Ninja from Naruto", which will be on the shelves tomorrow at noon. I wish the boss's new book will sell well after it is on the shelves.

After the boss’s new book is on the shelves, am I the one who ranks first in the new book list?

Chapter 34: If I can’t afford to offend the Uchiha, I can’t afford to offend you?

"Yeah, I was a little worried at first. After all, your target of this mission is Orochimaru, one of the three famous ninjas." Uchiha Fugaku said with a smile.

At this time, Uchiha Douhuan took out the mission scroll he got from the Lord of Yamamoto Castle and placed it on the table.

"Douhuan, what is this?" Uchiha Fugaku was a little curious, but Uchiha Douhuan signaled with his eyes that he should open it and take a look.

Uchiha Fugaku picked up a scroll and injected some chakra into it. After just one glance, he became restless and looked up at Uchiha Douhuan: "What are these...?"

"The total is 1.5 billion ryo," Uchiha Douhuan said, "If we weren't in a hurry and didn't bring too few sealing scrolls, we should be able to get a little more."

"You're really amazing, Douhuan." Uchiha Fugaku said happily. You know, after deducting the family's necessary expenses such as ninja tools, it would take several years to save so much money from their Uchiha clan's assets. But Uchiha Douhuan brought back so much money in just one trip, and from what he said, it was far more than that.

"Let's send two senior ninjas from our clan to Tansho Town tomorrow. This is the reward for a long-term escort mission," said Uchiha Douhuan.

"I understand," Uchiha Fugaku nodded.

"How is the security department these days when I was away?" Uchiha Douhuan asked.

"The situation is pretty good, right? With the guidance of the work manual you left before you left, the new ninjas got the hang of it quickly and can now patrol and perform their duties normally." Uchiha Fugaku said, "But..."

"Did something happen?" Uchiha Dohuan saw that Fugaku was hesitant to speak, and asked.

"In the past few days, the number of complaints received by the Security Department against patrol and on-duty personnel has increased several times compared to the past. They are all directed at the newly arrived civilian ninjas, but there are no complaints against our original family ninjas." Fugaku said.

"Is that so?" Uchiha Douhuan chuckled after hearing this. "Did those new members fail to pay attention to the Smiling Enforcement?"

"How could that be?" Uchiha Fugaku rubbed his brow in annoyance. "The security department now consists of four battalions and 4 squads. Before every patrol, the captain repeatedly reminds us to enforce the law with a smile. Yesterday, the entire security department held a meeting to emphasize this matter, but the number of complaints we receive continues to increase. Dohwan, this won't affect your plan to integrate the clan into the village, will it?"

"Don't worry, Elder Fugaku, I will take care of this matter tomorrow." Uchiha Douhuan said calmly. He had expected this kind of thing from the beginning.

After all, he knew very well the character of these unruly people in the village. When the security department was originally composed of members of the Uchiha clan, they might have restrained themselves a little under the tyranny of the Uchiha clan, but now with the joining of civilian ninjas, everything is different.

If I can't afford to offend Uchiha, can I afford to offend you? This is the best portrayal of the mentality of this group of unruly people.

Uchiha Douhuan was actually happy to see this happen. First of all, with these civilian ninjas blocking the way, the public opinion environment of their Uchiha clan in the village would be greatly improved. In addition, these civilian ninjas who were obviously enforcing the law impartially but were maliciously complained about would probably accumulate a lot of grievances. When one day they needed to take action against this group of troublemakers, I think their batons would be much more powerful.

"It would be great if you have a solution." Uchiha Fugaku said, "Besides these, the rest is my personal matter."

"Elder Fugaku, please speak." Uchiha Douhuan said.

"I would like you to be the teacher of Sasuke."

"Oh?" Uchiha Douhuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why did Elder Fugaku suddenly have this idea?"

"Sasuke has reached the age where he can officially begin training in ninjutsu. The day before yesterday, I taught him the clan's formal introductory ninjutsu, the Great Fireball Technique." Uchiha Fugaku said, "But Sasuke's performance is far inferior to his brother's."

"Really?" Uchiha Douhuan also laughed when he heard that. He remembered that when he was learning this ninjutsu in the clan's private school, there were a total of 28 Uchiha children at the same time, and he ranked 27th. This even made him doubt whether he was suitable to be a ninja.

"But after all, we have you as a precedent in our clan, so I asked Sasuke to test the attributes of his chakra. His chakra attributes are fire and lightning. I also asked him to try to learn lightning escape. His talent for lightning escape is far superior to fire escape." Uchiha Fugaku said with a wry smile.

Sasuke's talent in Lightning Release was no less than Itachi's in Fire Release. After reading the scroll of Lightning Release: Thunder Ball twice, he was able to release a lightning ball with a diameter of up to one meter. However, their family were all ninjas specializing in Fire Release. Although Mikoto's chakra also had lightning attributes, her research on Lightning Release was not deep. Therefore, how to teach Sasuke became a difficult problem.

Fortunately, there is a person in the clan who is in a similar situation to Sasuke. As the former clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku is very familiar with Uchiha Dohuan's resume. When Uchiha Dohuan was still studying at the Ninja School, although he performed well in the Ninja School thanks to his family's talent, he was just mediocre in the clan. His performance in the clan's private school, which mainly taught Fire Release Ninjutsu and Illusion Jutsu, was terrible. At that time, the family was planning to give up training him until he relied on coaxing and getting the first Lightning Release Ninjutsu from the clan elder who guarded the Ninjutsu warehouse. Only then did he really begin to show his talent.

Therefore, facing Sasuke's current situation, Uchiha Fugaku naturally came up with the idea of letting Sasuke become Uchiha Dohuan's disciple.

"Also, Douhuan, you know that I'm not good at educating children. Itachi has gone astray, so I want to entrust Sasuke to you." Uchiha Fugaku said.

"I understand. From now on, let Sasuke come to my place after school." Uchiha Douhuan said with a smile.

"Thank you very much, Douhuan-kun." Uchiha Fugaku said solemnly.

"That's true, Elder Fugaku. I would be more than happy to help kids who are in a similar situation as I was before avoid taking detours," said Uchiha Douhuan.

"No, Douhuan, this is a thank you from a father." Uchiha Fugaku said with emotion, "Please pay more attention to Sasuke."

"I will." Uchiha Douhuan nodded.

"Then I won't bother you anymore." Uchiha Fugaku said goodbye, and Uchiha Douhuan stood up to see him off.

After Uchiha Fugaku left, Uchiha Dohuan finished maintaining the sword and went to rest.

The next day, Uchiha Douhuan arrived at his office in the Security Department and nodded with satisfaction as he looked at his subordinates who had redecorated his office while he was on a mission.

Chapter 35 Red Envelope

Before Uchiha Douhuan became the clan leader and served as the deputy captain of the security department, due to time constraints, the security department only prepared an extremely simple office for him. There was no extra decoration except a desk and a file rack.

This time, while he was out on a mission, the security department also gave his office a little renovation.

Not only were the desks and chairs replaced with a new set, but the filing cabinets were also carefully organized. On both sides of the office was an antique display stand, on top of which was placed a complete set of tea sets that were obviously produced by famous designers. Several kinds of valuable fine tea were also carefully selected.

On the other side, there was an antique-looking knife rack with an empty space for the knife, which seemed to be prepared for Uchiha Douhuan's Thunderbolt.

Uchiha Douhuan placed the ninja sword on the rack and looked at the wall behind the seat. This was the place he was most satisfied with.

There was no particularly complicated decoration on the blank wall, only a calligraphy scroll hanging on the wall with four large characters written on it - Qing Zheng and Ren He.

Uchiha Dohuan sat in the office chair. Not long after, Fugaku sent someone to deliver a summary of the complaints received during this period to Uchiha Dohuan.

Uchiha Douhuan selected a group of people who received more complaints and had them and their captains called to the office.

Soon, Uchiha Douhuan's office was full of people.

Uchiha Douhuan looked up and took a look at the key targets of the complaints, and found that most of them were children who had graduated from the ninja school only a few years ago, and several of them were even younger than Uchiha Douhuan.

That's right, those who are a little older still know how to protect themselves, but those who have just graduated from the ninja school are probably still full of the will of fire. They are naturally reckless and stubborn when doing things, so it is not surprising that they are complained by those unruly people who think that if they don't take advantage of them, they will suffer losses.

At this moment, the captains who led them on patrol and duty, that is, some original members of the Uchiha clan, were also helpless. After Uchiha Douhuan came to power, they repeatedly emphasized that they must enforce the law with a smile before going out on patrol every day, and the team members under their command also did so, but the complaint rate remained high and they had no way to deal with it.

Uchiha Douhuan placed the complaint documents in front of them one by one.

"Deputy Captain Doo Hwan, it's really not their fault. They are enforcing the law impartially and strictly abide by the discipline of enforcing the law with a smile during the process. These complaints can be said to be malicious complaints." A small captain stood up to explain.

"I know. I've reviewed your law enforcement records one by one." Uchiha Douhuan said, "I didn't call you here to punish you."

Uchiha Douhuan looked at the civilian ninjas behind the team leaders and asked, "How do you feel about working in the security department these days?"

"Report to the deputy captain, the work is going very smoothly. We are honored to work in the security department!" At this time, a brave young man puffed out his chest and replied.

"Tamura Arashinosuke," Uchiha Douhuan glanced at the information and called out the man's name. "Very good. Within three days of taking office, he handled three road occupation incidents and arrested seven villagers who were drunk and causing trouble."

"This is what I should do!" said Tamura Rannosuke proudly.

“But, your complaint rate…”

Before Uchiha Dohuan could finish his words, Tamura Arashinosuke lowered his head and became listless.

"Why are you making that expression?" Uchiha Douhuan suddenly laughed. "In our security department, complaint rates are not included in our performance indicators."

"Ah?" Tamura Arashinosuke raised his head in confusion. To be honest, he was already prepared to be scolded. He had a monthly salary of 80,000 and subsidies. On his first day at work, he received a powerful C-level ninjutsu that he had never dared to think about before. Being scolded was no big deal.

But Uchiha Douhuan's words made him stunned on the spot. The vice-captain called us over, didn't he come to scold us?

"Although our position is destined to be misunderstood by the villagers, it is reasonable to suffer some grievances in order to serve Konoha. We should always remember the teachings of the Will of Fire. Everyone should have faith that we are doing a great thing." Uchiha Douhuan patted Tamura Arashinosuke on the shoulder and said.

After saying that, Uchiha Douhuan took out a thick red envelope from his pocket and put it into the other person's hand.

"Well done! This is a reward for your hard work these past few days!"

Then, Uchiha Douhuan took out a stack of red envelopes and distributed them one by one. Everyone in the office got one.

After distributing the red envelopes, Uchiha Douhuan returned to his desk and continued.

"I hope everyone will continue to work hard in the future and work together to create a better Konoha Village!"

The civilian ninjas who received the red envelopes were overwhelmed with emotion. Tamura Arashinosuke even raised his hand to salute: "Salute to the vice-captain! Chu! Cheng!"

"loyalty!"

"Loyalty! Sincerity!" Uchiha Douhuan returned the greeting.

After this group of people left, Uchiha Douhuan called the next group of people and did the same thing.

Throughout the morning, everyone in the security team received red envelopes from Uchiha Douhuan. The original Uchiha clan members were fine, because they knew that their new clan leader was always generous, but the new civilian ninjas were different. After receiving the red envelopes, they were all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and the negative emotions caused by the high complaint rate were immediately swept away.

After Uchiha Douhuan distributed the red envelopes, he finally had some free time and made some tea in the office.

This group of captains received 2 yuan in red envelopes, squad leaders received yuan, and ordinary team members received yuan. The cost of less than million yuan was nothing for Uchiha Dohuan, who currently had a huge amount of money. However, Uchiha Dohuan also understood that this money could only temporarily stabilize the fluctuating morale of the people in the security department, and by the way, raise everyone's tolerance threshold for the unruly people of Konoha. If they really wanted to solve this matter, they had to have an opportunity to let them vent their dissatisfaction caused by malicious reports.

As for the villagers' satisfaction? Uchiha Douhuan never cared about that. The so-called smiling law enforcement, including the complaint mailbox outside, was just the attitude of the Security Department. These unruly people in Konoha were dissatisfied? They would be obedient after being hit with a baton.

"I hope those two old guys won't make me wait too long." Uchiha Douhuan said to himself while drinking tea.

At this time, there was a knock on Uchiha Douhuan's office door.

"Come in."

After the office door was pushed open, Uchiha Douhuan looked at the person who came and smiled.

"Shisui, you've come just in time. I was just about to come look for you. Take this red envelope. Everyone in the security department will get a share."

Chapter 36 Sasuke and Naruto (Part )

"Come, Shisui, sit down." Uchiha Douhuan motioned Shisui to sit down, then poured him a cup of tea.

Although Shisui has returned to work in the Security Department, Fugaku naturally cannot trust him completely, so he only arranges him in a logistics position.

"Dou Hwan, it's not a good idea to have such a high complaint rate for the Security Department." Uchiha Shisui looked a little anxious.

"Shisui, I'm also having a hard time dealing with this," Uchiha Dohwan said, feigning worry and rubbing his brow. "When the Uchiha were in charge of the Security Department, the villagers were dissatisfied with it. Even after recruiting so many civilian ninjas, they're still dissatisfied with us. I really don't know what to do."

Shisui sighed deeply. He couldn't understand why his family had been trying so hard to integrate into the village, but had achieved so little success.

"Forget it, let's at least use the red envelopes to calm the rest of the people in the security department. As for the rest, we'll leave it to time." Uchiha Douhuan looked at Shisui and said, "When the village sees the sincerity of the security department, we will definitely reach a mutual understanding with the village."

"Well, Douhuan-kun, I believe you." Uchiha Shisui said.

"Take the red envelope. Everyone in the Security Department gets one, so of course you can't be left out. You're also a part of the Security Department." Uchiha Douhuan said after pushing the red envelope to Shisui.

"I understand." Shisui didn't want to accept the red envelope, but he couldn't refuse the reason given by Uchiha Dohuan.

After Shisui left, Uchiha Dohuan also relaxed, leaning back in his chair and flipping through the copied documents of the evidence he got from Orochimaru, while thinking to himself.

[I wonder if you will side with the Will of Fire or the village when you see this.]

……

Time passed unknowingly and it was time to get off work. Uchiha Douhuan, who had been sitting for the whole afternoon, stretched his body, tidied up his desk a little, and prepared to go home. There would be a little kid coming to his house in the evening.

At the same time, Kakashi, who had spent a day in the old house of the Hatake clan to help Naruto clean up a room, also walked out of the house and headed towards the ninja school.

It was the time for the Ninja School to be dismissed, and this was also the saddest moment of Naruto's day.

Other children in the ninja school were either picked up by their families or went home with their friends, but Naruto had neither family nor friends to walk with. Before this time, he could only sit alone on the swing in the school and wait until everyone left before he would set out on the way home alone. At least this way, he would face fewer malicious glances on the way back.

For Sasuke, the time after school every day is the time he looks forward to the most. He will be the first one to rush out of the school to see if his beloved brother has come to pick him up. If he can see his brother after school, he will spend the rest of the day happily.

However, today, after rushing out of the school gate, Sasuke saw not his gentle brother, but his serious-faced father.

"Dad?" Sasuke was a little surprised when Fugaku appeared at the school gate.

"Let's go, Sasuke." Uchiha Fugaku had a cold face and signaled Sasuke to follow him with his eyes. The two of them walked one after the other towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

"Um, Dad, why didn't my brother come to pick me up today?" After a while, Sasuke couldn't help but ask.

"Itachi has a mission during this period." Uchiha Fugaku said.

"Okay." Sasuke looked a little depressed after hearing his father's words.

"Also, I've hired a teacher for you. After school, you can go there by yourself."

"Teacher?" Sasuke raised his head curiously. "Who is it?"

"You have a pretty good talent in Lightning Release, so I've asked Chief Dou Huan, who is the best at Lightning Release in the clan, to teach you. Sasuke, follow your teacher and learn well, and don't bring shame to our family," said Uchiha Fugaku.

"Chief Dou Huan?" Little Sasuke was stunned when he heard this. Although family affairs in peacetime had basically nothing to do with children of his age, Sasuke also learned from some words around him that his father used to be the chief of the clan, but not now. The person who replaced his father as the chief of the clan was the Chief Dou Huan that his father was talking about.

"Yes, Sasuke, your teacher, although not much older than you, is a very wise man and the strongest in the clan." Uchiha Fugaku said patiently.
