To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

"Brother Fugaku, I'm not Uncle Zhaoping. I have my own ideas."

Uchiha Shigeka said in a deep voice: "I believe that doing this will make the Uchiha clan better. This is the right path."

"Is this path to let the Hokage faction join the police force?" Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and sighed: "Shigeka, what we worried about has really come true. As the clan leader, you are influenced by the thoughts of the Third Hokage."

Uchiha Fugaku was heartbroken: "You didn't consider the interests of the Uchiha clan. The Third Hokage asked you to do it, and you obeyed. This is simply the behavior of a puppet!"

"I originally thought that what Uchiha Ryuji said was alarmist, but now it seems that it may come true. The Uchiha clan...will become a vassal of the Hokage lineage!"

Uchiha Shigeka said: "You are too polite, Brother Fugaku. You are too arbitrary. What makes you think that our Hokage faction will not do better?"

"Is it because we are close to the Hokage lineage?" Uchiha Shigeka shook his head and said, "I know that some people in Konoha's upper echelons don't like us Uchiha, but don't we Uchiha have a deep prejudice against the Hokage lineage?"

"Now that I am the clan leader, I am here to eliminate the prejudices between the two sides."

Uchiha Shigeka's eyes were firm, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Fugaku, believe me."

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head: "I'm sorry, Shigeka. That night, we didn't stop you from becoming the clan leader. You should keep the promise you made."

"Uchiha clan, you will be at the helm for the time being, enjoy the voyage." Uchiha Fugaku said, "But, Shigeka, your voyage has just begun, and there is still time. I hope you can listen to what I say and give it more consideration."

Uchiha Shigeka was silent.

Uchiha Fugaku continued, "My love for the Uchiha clan is no less than yours. If you ever deviate from your path, I will definitely stand up and stop you. I will never let the Uchiha clan fall into an irretrievable situation!"

"That's all I have to say. Let's go."

Uchiha Fugaku turned and left the meeting room, and behind him, the people from the Zhaoping faction followed him out.

As for the remaining extremists, Uchiha Zhaoping did not recruit them into the police force.

The reason they appeared here was purely because this was the first family meeting held by Uchiha Shigeka after he became the clan leader.

The family meeting is actually a jonin meeting.

The extremists are few in number, but there are also senior ninjas among them, so they must come.

Uchiha Maeno helped up the unconscious Uchiha Ryuji. He did not say a word. After looking deeply at Uchiha Shigeka, he left with the extremists.

Suddenly, only Uchiha Tadao and Uchiha Muneyuki were left on the field.

Uchiha Muneyuki came to Uchiha Shigeka, patted his shoulder and said comfortingly: "Shigeka, don't take the loser's words to heart. The Uchiha clan, we have the final say now!"

Uchiha Tadai continued, "That's right. I don't think there's anything wrong with your approach. Just go ahead and do it. Soxing and I will fully support you."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shigeka took a deep breath and smiled at the two of them.

"Well, thank you Uncle Lutai and Uncle Zongxing, I'm fine." Uchiha Shigeka sighed sadly: "Brother Fugaku and I used to be good friends who could talk about anything, but now we are so estranged. It's really unpredictable and fate plays tricks on us."

"Fugaku inherited Brother Zhaoping's faction and became their spokesperson. Your identities now are completely different from the past."

Uchiha Tadai said: "You are now the head of the Uchiha clan, and everything must be considered and viewed as the head of the clan."

"Zhonghua, I chose you because I think you will bring a better future to the Uchiha clan. Don't let me down."

Uchiha Shigeka nodded: "I understand, Uncle Ryotai."

......

The first family meeting ended unhappily.

A day later, Uchiha Fugaku and others submitted their resignations to Uchiha Shigeka and withdrew from the police force.

Uchiha Shigeka held the resignation letters in his hands with a smile on his face.

"I was just thinking about how to fire you, but I didn't expect you to quit on your own initiative. This is exactly what I want!"

Regardless of what Uchiha Fugaku and others thought about quitting the police force, Uchiha Shigeka readily agreed to their resignation.

There were a lot of empty spots in the Konoha Police Force all of a sudden.

Uchiha Shigeka's eyes flickered as he looked at the personnel lists of the Hokage faction and the Taichung faction.

He picked up the pen and first eliminated those who did not truly support him, and secondly, selected the Uchiha clan members who could be won over to become his own people among those who supported him.

There are so many factions in the small Uchiha clan, and now there is another Chonghua faction... Oh, it should be called the Clan Leader faction, there is nothing wrong with that, right?

......

My head was dizzy and my body was as hot as a furnace, causing a burning sensation.

I'm resting today, everyone go to bed early and take care of your body. If you don't pay attention, you will catch a cold and have a fever, and then the fever will keep coming back.

I'm not running away, please rest assured. That's it, good night.

Chapter 188: Give me flexible law enforcement!

Uchiha Muneyuki took a look at the personnel arrangement list and nodded with satisfaction.

At a glance, more than two-thirds of the positions in Konoha's police force were taken by people sent by the Hokage.

Uchiha Muneyuki looked up at Uchiha Shigeka and said with a smile: "Shigeka, you did a great job and lived up to the trust of Hokage."

Uchiha Shigeka smiled faintly and responded, "As long as Uncle Zong Xing is satisfied."

Uchiha Ridai frowned, he noticed something wrong from the personnel arrangement list.

Those clan members who did not truly support Uchiha Shigeka were not among them.

Secondly, among those who truly support Uchiha Shigeka, these people are also the most fanatical worshippers.

——In other words, they are the people who are easiest to be won over.

Uchiha Tadao read it again, his eyes thoughtful, and thought to himself, as expected.

It's not just his faction, the same goes for those in the Hokage faction.

Uchiha Rida glanced at Uchiha Shigeka and said with a playful smile: "Shigeka, the candidates you picked are very interesting."

"Uncle Lutai, as the clan leader, I need not only personal strength, but also people I recognize to work for me."

Facing the other party's scrutiny, Uchiha Shigeka remained calm and said calmly: "Although I am young, I have the awareness to do great things. Time waits for no one, and this is an indispensable part."

"Uncle Lutai, I believe you will support me."

"Oh?" Uchiha Ridai put down the personnel arrangement list and said with a smile: "Tell me the reason. Why should I support you?"

Uchiha Muneyuki looked at the two of them strangely, not knowing what they were talking about.

Uchiha Shigeka took out another list and handed it to Uchiha Tadao.

Uchiha Ridai raised his eyebrows and took it to read.

The next moment, his eyes suddenly focused, and he held the list and said, "Chonghua, my daughter's name is also on the list. I wonder what position you have assigned to her?"

Uchiha Shigeka smiled and said, "Uncle Lutai, let me keep you in suspense for now. You will know in a few days."

"I just want to say that I trust Mikoto, so I naturally trust you, Uncle Taidai. We are family, aren't we?"

"Hahaha."

Uchiha Rida smiled and said, "Yes, of course they are my family. Chonghua, this reason is enough. Just go for it. I will fully support you."

Uchiha Ridai patted Uchiha Shigeka's shoulder and said with a smile: "I still say the same thing, I hope you don't let Mikoto down."

Uchiha Shigeka nodded and said firmly: "Definitely!"

Uchiha Muneyuki looked at the two people getting along well and glanced at another list.

Uchiha Mikoto's name was ranked first, followed by several other names, including people from the Hokage faction and the Taitai faction.

Unlike previous personnel lists, this one only has names but no positions.

——What is this list? What are these people going to do?

Uchiha Muneyuki was curious and confused.

.......

The main task of the Konoha Police Force is to maintain public security and stability within the Hidden Leaf Village, arrest people with criminal tendencies, and sometimes support the Anbu in participating in the village's security work.

However, the police force has limited powers.

They cannot arrest ninjas above the level of Chunin, and they cannot interfere in matters involving the Anbu. These are all managed personally by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Therefore, the people that Konoha Police Force faces are mostly villagers and Genin.

The villagers of Konohagakure Village felt the changes in Konoha Police Force the most profoundly.

They found that the Uchiha clan had changed.

"Hello, this is what was stolen from you, right?"

"Ah, these are our things."

The couple tensed their bodies, not daring to breathe, and responded carefully to the Uchiha's words.

"Well, if it's convenient, can you please make a note? It's stipulated that the return of lost property to its owner needs to be recorded."

This Uchiha clan member might have done this for the first time. The smile on his face seemed a little awkward, and his tone was deliberately slowed down and softened, but it sounded a little raw.

This scared the couple, and they quickly followed the other party's instructions and took notes.

The couple breathed a sigh of relief when the Uchiha left.

"Mother of the child, do you feel that there is something different about the people in the police force?"

"...More terrifying than before, right?"

The situation of this Uchiha clan member was happening all over the Hidden Leaf Village. The villagers found that although his smile was a little ugly, his dry tone was very readable.

But they have indeed changed, becoming less cruel and less harsh in their enforcement.

Uchiha Shigeka set a tone that the Konoha police force must change their previous practices and adopt a flexible law enforcement approach.

When facing villagers, you should smile and speak gently. When facing criminals, just use Sharingan illusion to control them. Don't beat them up in the street in order for others to see.

But this is not enough. The biggest distrust of the Konoha villagers towards the Konoha police force comes from the Police Department.

That was not a place they had ever set foot in, so they had more imaginations about it. All kinds of horrible and terrible rumors came from here, causing great reputational damage to the Uchiha clan.

Because the Uchiha clan used to enforce the law strictly, had a cold face and used rough methods to subdue criminals, it was hard for the villagers of Konoha not to believe what kind of cruel torture these people would encounter when they arrived at the police department.

The villagers of Konoha are ignorant. Psychologically, they believe that the criminals deserve to be treated like this, but they are also afraid that the police force has too much power to enforce the law, and they don't know when the power will fall on them.

It's not like this has never happened.

Uchiha Shigeka was looking through the case files of the past. After reading for a while, he rubbed his brows and said speechlessly, "Because of the similar appearance to the criminal, he was arrested, tortured, and forced to confess... Is the Sharingan just for show? In this case, we can use illusion to control the other party and know the truth."

Uchiha Mikoto handed over a cup of tea and said softly, "The family reported it to the police too late, and the criminal had already fled Konoha and is nowhere to be found. We don't have many people, so we issued a commission to search for the criminal."

Uchiha Shigeka continued expressionlessly, "But the criminal has not been found, and the family members can't wait any longer and keep urging them to come back, so they found someone who looks similar to him to take the blame?"

Since he was trying to solve the case quickly, he naturally wouldn't use the Sharingan to get the truth.

The actions of the police force itself have been criticized, and people like Danzo Shimura, who are prejudiced against the Uchiha clan, have been secretly fanning the flames.

The Uchiha clan was arrogant again and was too lazy to explain - in fact, they did do something wrong, but they did not try to refute some rumors that they had not done anything wrong.

If this continues, it is no wonder that the Uchiha clan is not welcomed by the villagers.

Uchiha Shigeka threw the file aside and said in a deep voice: "This situation must be changed. The Konoha Police Force should not have such an image in the eyes of the villagers!"

......

Chapter 189: Jonin Conference

"Shigeka-kun, it's been a while since we last met. You are now the head of the Uchiha clan."

Orochimaru's pair of dark golden snake eyes showed a hint of hidden research desire, and with a smile on his lips, he said, "Congratulations, Shigeka-kun."

"Senior Orochimaru, I didn't expect you to come back." Uchiha Shigeka looked surprised, then said ashamedly, "I just took over as the clan leader not long ago, and I was busy with affairs. I didn't even notice that Senior Orochimaru came back at some point."

"Hehe, I just arrived yesterday too." Orochimaru explained, and continued, "There are occasional fights with Iwagakure and Sunagakure on the front line, but they are not big conflicts. This time I came back to attend the Jonin meeting."

"Is it because of Tsunade-sensei?"

"Hmm?" Orochimaru was confused for a moment, but then he thought of something and said with a smile, "It's about expanding the medical ninjas, right?"

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "I didn't come back for this matter. As for what it is..."

"Zhonghua-kun can go ask the teacher."
