To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

Some people were puzzled and asked, "What does the chief mean by this? Aren't we supposed to follow his orders?"

Uchiha Shigeka didn't say anything, just looked at them silently.

The Uchiha's question was answered by someone else.

The Uchiha clan member who was patted on the shoulder by Uchiha Shigeka came back to his senses, his eyes revealing ecstasy.

He quickly knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "Thank you, Chief, for giving me this opportunity. From now on, I will only listen to you and no one else!"

Uchiha Shigeka glanced at him and said, "You don't listen to Uncle Zong Xing?"

This person is from the Hokage faction, and their leader is Uchiha Muneyuki.

The man raised his head with a firm look in his eyes: “I won’t listen.”

Uchiha Shigeka looked at the others and said, "What about you? Your answer to what I said..."

Someone has already made a proof, so the rest of the people will understand it even if they don’t understand it.

This is an attempt to steal their support and win them over!

Just follow Uchiha Shigeka's words... As expected, after becoming the clan leader, how could he not build up a faction of his own?

Uchiha Shigeka's words were very clear, he needed loyal and reliable people to work for him - the clan leader had sent people to recruit!

Would they say no? Of course not.

Those who are able to accept Uchiha Shigeka's recruitment and join the General Affairs Department already have a great liking for him and have a lot of admiration and longing for him in their hearts.

Snapped.

Several people immediately followed suit, kneeling on one knee and placing their right hands in front of their hearts.

"From now on, your voice is the only one in our hearts!"

They all said in unison: "We are willing to obey the orders of the patriarch without hesitation!"

Seeing the situation of the few people, Uchiha Shigeka smiled with satisfaction.

......

In the following days, Uchiha Shigeka dispatched different observers to inspect and supervise the opening of the family court.

Observers were not limited to the General Affairs Department; subordinates of Uchiha Tadao and Uchiha Muneyuki were occasionally chosen to go.

Uchiha Shigeka then expressed his willingness to join the clan leader faction through the observer's report.

No one refused - these people were specially selected by Uchiha Shigeka, so there was no possibility of them refusing.

In this way, Uchiha Shigeka quickly formed a clan leader faction with a considerable number of members in a short period of time.

At a glance, they actually account for one-third of Konoha's police force, and this process is still accelerating.

These people joined the clan leader faction, and Uchiha Shigeka asked them not to make it public and continue to work in the Traveling Taiwan faction and the Hokage faction.

The two vice-chairmen, Uchiha Tadashi and Uchiha Muneyuki, were busy with official duties, and Uchiha Shigeka was secretive in his work. Until now, the two of them did not know that many people in their faction had changed their flags and became members of the clan leader's faction.

As the days passed, the reputation of the Uchiha clan's family court began to spread.

The people from the Konoha Police Force walked on the streets, keeping in mind the principle of flexible law enforcement. Over time, the villagers no longer looked at them with fear and terror.

On this day, many villagers boldly inquired about the affairs of the Uchiha clan's family court.

The members of the Konoha Police Force looked at each other and followed the instructions of the Clan Leader Chonghua, telling them in detail about the matters related to the Clan Court.

Finally, the member of the police force revealed a piece of news.

"Everyone, don't be curious. Our minister said that the family court is a small-scale pilot. If the effect is good, it will be promoted to the entire Konoha."

A villager hesitated and said, "What Chief Chonghua means is..."

The member of the police force smiled and said, "It seems that the effect is good now. In the near future, you will see the emergence of the Konoha Court."

"When the time comes, you can come to the Konoha Court for any disputes or trivial matters. We will definitely make a fair and satisfactory judgment."

"I know that." Someone said, "Everyone who was investigated by the police department told us. With the help of the interrogation department and your Sharingan, how can anyone hide anything?"

Another person continued, "Although it is not a good idea to pry into other people's privacy, since the head of the Chonghua clan and the Hokage are guaranteeing it, it is not unacceptable."

"Besides, since we can't hide things, if there are disputes like this again, it will be clear who is right and who is wrong, and it is indeed fair."

As the villagers were talking, they all looked at the members of the Konoha Police Force.

"So, when is the Konoha Court held?"

The Konoha Police Force could only raise their hands and say, "It's almost there, it's almost there."

One of them pointed to the street, where Konoha's official agency departments were located.

"When we move there, the Konoha Court will be officially operational."

......

Chapter 197: Kato Dan: The Second Hokage is so kind to the Uchiha

The Konoha Police Force has moved.

Since the Konoha Police Force is to be opened to the entire Konoha, the office cannot be located within the Uchiha clan.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen made the decision to expand the original interrogation department and move other surrounding departments to other locations.

A large piece of land near the Hokage Building, which is extremely valuable, was allocated to the Konoha Police Department.

In order to speed up the construction, Sarutobi Hiruzen specially dispatched a group of Konoha ninjas to assist the workers.

There are ninjas who are good at earth escape, strong and powerful in physical skills, and able to sense the details and flaws of construction...

In short, we must strive to build the Konoha Police Department and the adjacent Konoha Court within a month.

At this time, a month had passed since the day when the Jonin Conference proposed reforms to the Konoha police force.

The new Konoha Police Department and Konoha Court have been built.

Uchiha Shigeka raised his eyes and looked towards the new location.

Its layout and decoration are not much different from those of the Konoha Police Department within the Uchiha clan. The engraving in the middle of the huge shuriken is still the Uchiha clan's iconic fire fan emblem.

This was what Sarutobi Hiruzen proposed to keep.

Uchiha Shigeka made such a major concession for the sake of Konoha's enthusiasm. If the fire fan clan emblem is still removed... even Sarutobi Hiruzen would think it was a bit too much.

The Uchiha clan is the founding clan of Konoha, so there is nothing wrong with retaining their fire fan emblem as the symbol of Konoha's police force.

The new organization, the Konoha Court, has a flame as its emblem.

That is the flame representing Konoha!

"Chief Chonghua, from now on we will be neighbors and colleagues."

At this time, Kato Dan's voice came.

Uchiha Shigeka turned his head and saw Kato Dan smiling at him gently.

Looking back in the direction he was heading, next to the Konoha Police Force, the Interrogation Department was located there.

This was originally the territory of the Interrogation Department. Because of the proposal put forward by Uchiha Shigeka, the two departments would have to cooperate frequently in the future. For convenience, Sarutobi Hiruzen put the two departments together.

The two sides are neighbors and should take care of each other.

"Kato Jonin, please give me more guidance in the future." Uchiha Shigeka said to Kato Dan with a smile.

After the two exchanged a few polite words, Kato Dan looked at the Uchiha clan members who were constantly coming in and out, busy with the relocation.

Kato Dan suddenly became curious and asked, "The Konoha Police Force will be working here in the future, so what will happen to the old site in the Uchiha clan territory?"

"Of course, if my question is abrupt and offensive, Patriarch Chonghua doesn't have to answer my little curiosity."

"There is nothing that cannot be answered." Uchiha Shigeka said: "Kato Jonin must know what happened in the Uchiha clan."

Kato Dan immediately said, "It's about the family court. Everyone in Konoha has been talking about this new thing these days."

Kato Dan looked at the Konoha Court and smiled, "I wonder how many people are looking forward to the opening of the Konoha Court."

Uchiha Shigeka chuckled: "The building is complete, and it won't be long before it opens to the public. I think the Konoha Court will be officially operational next Monday."

Kato Dan smiled even more deeply and said with anticipation: "Then I'll wait and see."

Uchiha Shigeka smiled and nodded, saying, "Let's get back to the previous topic. I have divided the use of the old police station site in the clan territory into two."

"A portion will be given to Uncle Lutai to be used for the management of the clan and the operation of the clan court."

Since Uchiha Shigeka became the clan leader, he has not paid much attention to the clan affairs, and most of them are managed by Uchiha Tadashi.

Now that the Konoha Police Department has moved outside the clan, it's a pity that the old site is left vacant, so it would be better to hand it over to Uchiha Takanari to manage.

"And the other part... Kato Jonin, don't forget that behind the old site of the clan is a Konoha prison where important criminals are held."

Uchiha Shigeka looked at Kato Dan's surprised eyes and said, "The old site is now used as Konoha Prison."

The Uchiha clan controls not only the Konoha police force, but due to the nature of their work, they also manage the Konoha prison.

The other part of the old site is occupied by a group of General Affairs Department personnel dispatched by Uchiha Shigeka, who are responsible for matters related to Konoha Prison, and...supervising Uchiha Brigade's every word and action.

The Uchiha Brigade supervises clan members and members of the police force, and the General Affairs Division supervises the Uchiha Brigade.

The person in charge of both directions is Uchiha Shigeka.

"...The Second Hokage was really good to the Uchiha clan."

Kato Dan sighed.

Konoha Police Force and Konoha Prison are all organizations and departments that were fully handed over to the Uchiha clan by the second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, when he was in office.

Kato Dan knew very little about the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Konoha high-level officials. From his perspective, he could only conclude that the Uchiha clan was worthy of being the elder clan that founded Konoha, and their power and status were quite considerable.

Senju Tobirama did give the Uchiha clan great power and status, bringing the Uchiha clan's power to its peak in Konoha.

But Uchiha Shigeka knew that Senju Tobirama's original plan was to monitor the Uchiha clan and prevent the emergence of someone like Uchiha Madara again.

Senju Tobirama's motives are not pure.

......

The reform of Konoha Police Force is proceeding in an orderly manner.

After the members of the police force had adapted for a few days, a new Monday arrived in the blink of an eye.

The Konoha Court opened as scheduled and officially opened to Konoha.

First of all, the Konoha Court has to solve the unjust, false and wrong cases caused by the Konoha Police Force in the past.

After the experience of being questioned by the police department, tortured by the interrogation department, and controlled by the Sharingan, the person who could not bear it and suffered a mental breakdown had already committed suicide to apologize.

The real murderers who did not have the courage to commit suicide, under the watch of the Konoha villagers, did not have the slightest thought of resistance. They honestly told what they had done and pleaded guilty.

People who were plotted against and wronged were able to have their injustices vindicated, wash away their shame and regain their innocence.

As the president of the Konoha Court, Uchiha Shigeka sat in front of the stage and looked at the victims who were either crying with joy, wailing in pain, or in despair.

Uchiha Shigeka sighed lightly, justice delayed is still justice.

He corrected and resolved all the mistakes made by the Konoha Police Force in the past.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the trial, sighed and blamed himself: "It's my fault as a Hokage that the real murderer got away with it and the victim suffered injustice..."

Uchiha Shigeka comforted Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "This is not Master's fault. Konoha gave the power of law enforcement to the Uchiha clan, but we did not do a good job and created many false cases. This is all our fault."

"No, this has nothing to do with Chonghua. You have only been leading the police department for a short time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, "Rather, it is precisely because of Shigeka's appointment as the Minister of Police that these unjust, false and wrong cases can be re-examined and the truth can be revealed to the world again."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled with relief and said, "I feel very relieved that Shigeka is in the police department. Under your management, Konoha's justice will be properly enforced!"

Uchiha Shigeka's eyes flickered when he heard this.

- Can Danzo Shimura's plan to assassinate his companions be carried out correctly?

......

Chapter 198: Xiaonan Arrives

With the existence of the Konoha Court, the efficiency of the Konoha Police Force in handling cases has been greatly improved.

The people of Konoha knew that once a case was brought to court in Konoha, the truth would come out and the criminals would be brought to justice.

No one can escape the judgment of Konoha Court!

This is the confidence that the members of the Interrogation Department and the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan bring to the people.
