Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch

Chapter 167 About Itachi Uchiha (Please ask for a monthly pass! Please subscribe!)
Zong Xian was sitting in his office on the second floor of the police department, in front of him was a thick stack of work reports from the past few months when he was away from the police department. The work is generally handled by Uchiha Arashiyama alone, acting as the minister's power.

but,

a few months away,
Uchiha Arashiyama is much thinner than the impression.

It can be seen that holding power is not a pleasant experience for Uchiha Arashiyama. The deep dark circles under his eyes silently tell that he has not had a good rest for a long time. Standing upright in front of the table is like a straight knife that has been tempered thousands of times, and you can feel the firmness that would rather bend than bend.

"Lanshan, it is indeed the right choice to hand over the police department to you. Thank you for your hard work." Zong Xian roughly flipped through these work reports. The documents are very beautiful, and it doesn't take much brains to understand The situation of the police department in his absence these days.

After summarizing, it can be described in two words,

smooth.

These days when Uchiha Arashiyama acted as acting minister, he didn't do any brilliant things, but kept the water in a bowl of peace and stability, maintained the operation of the police department according to the regulations left before Zongxian left, and safely let People can't find faults.

"Compared to hard work, I hope that you can give me two days off, Minister. If you can't, go to the front line! I haven't caught the handle of a knife for almost a month. I catch it in my hands from morning till night. With a pen, even when eating and going to the bathroom, you have to read a document with you.”

Standing in front of the table, Uchiha Arashiyama looked tired, and his tone of voice was full of undisguised complaints, "If this continues, I'm afraid I'll even forget how to kill people when I go to the battlefield!"

Don't look at his calm personality,

But he's also an Uchiha.

Aggressive and war-loving, this is the commonality of the vast majority of Uchiha who open their eyes. Even if they are as gentle as Shisui Uchiha, they will occasionally feel itchy. If you want to find someone to fight with all your strength, compared to sitting in an office Li'an enjoys peace, but the clansmen prefer to dance on the tip of the knife, enjoying the excitement and joy brought by the line between life and death!
"Well... What did Elder Fuyue come to the police department two months ago?" Zong Xian asked him from left to right. There is no shortage of people in the clan who can fight, not to mention those elderly people. Even Chihaya, Futaba, Akitaro, and Hokuto who have been following him all the time say that it is too early to be alone, but they are enough to come in handy.

in contrast,

There are only a handful of people like Lanshan who can help share one or two official duties.

If Lanshan is let go, where can I find a second person to help with the complicated official affairs of the police department?

"It seems that I will continue to sit in the office, hey! When will I be tall these days!" Uchiha Arashiyama sighed, and he was not too surprised by the result. After sighing, he cheered up , "Elder Fuyue came to see if there was any mistake in the police department. He walked around and left. Before leaving, he said that if there is anything that needs help, you can go to him, but fortunately, there is nothing that needs help. I can barely do things like painting gourds and ladles, and I don't need the help of Elder Fuyue."

"Then what do you think Elder Fuyue has in mind?"

"It should be simply to come and have a look. Elder Fuyue wants me to see that he is not an ambitious person."

"Then leave him alone, and let Elder Fuyue do what an elder should do with peace of mind in the clan, and the police department will not bother him to be distracted. Anyway, I think Lanshan, you have done a good job." Zong Xian didn't think too much. I care about this little thing. If there is no accident, Uchiha Fugaku should be sincerely wanting to help, but whether it is true or false, the retired "old man" can "care for the elderly" with peace of mind. Since he has chosen to hide it, he will always Hide till you die!

The current Uchiha does not lack such a pair of kaleidoscope sharing eyes in the Schrödinger state.

"Minister, all I can do is to maintain the status quo. Just doing this step is already doing my best. Don't expect me to innovate this kind of thing. Now the Department of Justice is still a complete empty shell. The vacated office It's become a utility room again."

"Don't worry about this. The Department of Justice promised to give Zhishui. He is not here now. Let him go to trouble him when he comes back... As for the reform of the police department, don't worry about it for the time being. I have my own Plan, Lanshan, you only need to help me maintain the operation of the police department."

Innovation is imperative,

In order to completely reverse the inherent impression of the villagers towards the Uchiha clan, and wash away the bad reputation they bear on the Uchiha clan, after completely defeating old guys like Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, Zong Xian is already considering To rectify the police department, it is planned to break the old rigid police department and establish a brand new police department.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. The bastard Uchiha Obito attracted Kirinin, so he had to shelve the plan, and finally persuaded Kirinin. Cloud Ninja, who thought he saw an opportunity, jumped out again. This kind of time is really not suitable Major surgery on the police department.

"I try my best."

Uchiha Arashiyama agreed with a sigh.

"Lanshan, if you really feel impatient, then pick a few more smart juniors from the clan and train a few successors. After two years, you will be liberated." Thinking about it, even if you let the donkey pull the mill, you have to have a carrot in its mouth. It's not enough to have a big stick without candied dates!

"Two years?"

Uchiha Arashiyama was speechless.

He stared at Zong Xian, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident, it had been agreed for a few months, how come it has been two years?What a joke!

"······This isn't that one, those who can do more work! Haha!"

Zong Xian's smile was a bit awkward.

I accidentally slipped my mouth, so I had to bite the bullet and make up for it, "And the two years are just a general term. If it goes well, maybe in a year or so, some apprentices will be born as teachers, don't you think so?"

"But it's also possible that no one will become a teacher for two or three years. If that's the case, wouldn't I have to keep working?"

Uchiha Arashiyama picked out the loopholes in Zongxian's words with a smooth voice without any ups and downs.

"this······"

Zong Xian opened his mouth,

Finally fell silent again.

Ok!

He didn't intend to let Uchiha Arashiyama leave the police department. In his opinion, Uchiha Arashiyama's value in the police department is much more useful than him holding a knife to kill people, but if Uchiha Arashiyama really If he is unwilling to stay in the police department for a long time to handle paperwork, then...he has to find a way to train new people.

At any rate, he is also a companion who has fought closely together, so he can't really be squeezed as a social animal!
but,

It is not easy to find an assistant who can replace Arashiyama.

At this moment, Uchiha Arashiyama shook his head and sighed: "I hope that some of the younger generations in the family can be found to be smart and obedient. By the way, Zongxian, do you have any recommendations? Does anyone have a suitable target? If so It would save a lot of effort.”

"... Arashiyama, you bastard."

Zong Xian laughed.

Was put together ah!

"Minister, no, patriarch, is there any junior boy in the clan that you think is suitable to take over my job?"

"There must be a suitable candidate."

Zong Xian opened his mouth slowly. When he first trained his team, he could say he had already figured out the details of each family in the clan, how many people there were in the family, how old were the children, and whether they had pets... all this information He is very clear, not to mention after becoming the patriarch, the latest statistics of the clan's population are kept in the study room in the bedroom of his home.

Speaking of,
Arashiyama has been his most powerful arm since before.

A large part of the information he had was collected and sorted out with the help of Lanshan. Lanshan should know whether there is a suitable candidate... The reason why he said this is to ask his own opinion. After all, Lanshan is now the second in command of the police department, so it doesn't mean that he can be replaced by just looking for someone.

"There is a very interesting junior... Uchiha Itachi, Arashiyama, do you know this kid?"

"Uchiha Itachi? Eldest son of Elder Fuyue?"

Uchiha Arashiyama frowned suspiciously. Of course he knew that this junior genius who was reputed not to be inferior to Zongxian and Shisui was already a Chunin at the age of ten this year. You know, this is not the speed of the war. Promoted, non-war period ninja school graduates are 12 years old.

Ten-year-old Chunin,
It can only be said that Uchiha Itachi's excellence is enough to break the rules.

It's a pity that Uchiha Itachi is the eldest son of Elder Fuyue, and because of the age gap, he hasn't had any detailed contact. On the contrary, Uchiha Sasuke, the youngest son of Elder Fuyue, often goes in and out of the police department with Fujika and Naruto. Uchiha Arashiyama and the others are quite familiar with each other.

"That's right, Elder Fuyue's eldest son is said to be a rare genius in the clan. Although he is only ten years old, he has the same mature wisdom as an adult. If it is that child, it may take only a few months to make him Lan Shan, you abdicate to Xian!"

"...Minister, this is not a joke, is it?"

Uchiha Arashiyama asked uncertainly.

"Elder Fuyue is Elder Fuyue, there is no need to have any prejudice against the children of Elder Fuyue because of this, we are all Uchiha after all, if we can't unite internally, then stop talking about restoring the glory of the past and other nonsense gone."

Zong Xian spoke very 'correct' words slowly.

These words are naturally irrefutable correctness, but anyone who has received a complete basic education knows that unity is the right thing to do, but internal strife is everywhere, family, organization, country, disputes are never possible disappeared.

Uchiha Arashiyama hesitated to speak.

He didn't think it was a good idea to bring Uchiha Itachi to the police department, but Zongxian seemed to have other considerations, so he hesitated again and again, and swallowed back the words of dissuasion. Bo Weat brought it here, and it took a while to observe it before it would come in handy.

It's not too late to discuss after the actual contact.

"... If I remember correctly, Uchiha Itachi is a free ninja right now? He has not registered with the police department, nor has he joined other departments in the village..." Zong Xian Mumbling to himself, various memories about Itachi Uchiha flowed through his mind.

The ninjas in Konoha Village can be roughly divided into two categories,
One is paid and the other is not paid.

The so-called salaried people refer to the ninjas who work in the administrative department, the police department, the medical department, and the dark department. They have specific positions and specific jobs, and they are almost public officials in the conventional concept; Those who receive wages are also ninjas in the cognition of ordinary people in the ninja world.

They do not have specific positions in the village and are not linked to specific departments. The village will not pay them wages. They can only earn money by performing tasks for living expenses. It can be said that the number of the former is fixed and limited. The latter accounted for most of the ninja places in Konoha Village.

Like in the original history, Kakashi was considered a paid ninja when he was working in Anbu, but when he quit Anbu later, he became a second type of ninja.

The current Uchiha Itachi is the second category.

If the history remains unchanged, Uchiha Itachi will join Anbe in the near future, but now the future of Konoha has been changed beyond recognition by Zongxian. Without Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, the Uchiha clan is still popular Bad, but come on with the poor choice of a coup d'etat.

In this new future,
What kind of path will Uchiha Itachi choose to embark on?
Regarding Uchiha Itachi's younger generation, Zong Xian couldn't help but think about it. This is a ruthless person who can kill his family and parents with his own hands, and his parents are not the kind of scumbag parents who would abuse their children. Uchiha Fuyue's sternness, Uchiha Mikoto's gentleness...he has an almost perfect family that many people desire.

but,

Growing up in such a family, he still swung the blade down.

At that time,
He is only 13 years old!
"Headache!"

Zong Xian was hesitant about how to deal with Itachi Uchiha. He thought about killing the matter once and for all, but using the crimes that Itachi Uchiha had never committed and the crimes that he probably had no chance to commit again to convict and punish him. I still have a little mind... okay!

This is bullshit.

Zong Xian struggled to survive until now, his hands were bloodied countless times.

It's not enough to be merciful for Uchiha Itachi,
The reason why he gave up the choice of killing Uchiha Itachi is very simple, that would be too wasteful.

Since Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Obito can all use Uchiha Itachi, as the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, he naturally has the power to drive Uchiha Itachi, so it would be too wasteful to waste such a useful chess piece. It's a pity, and Uchiha Itachi's Susano possesses the two enviable spiritual weapons of [Ten Fist Sword] and [Yataka Mirror].

In contrast, Zongxian's Susanoo equipment is very shabby.

The Taidao of conventional configuration,

Other than that there aren't any special weapons.

If possible, Zongxian hopes to change the equipment for his Susanoo, just like he is holding the [Blaze Fan] now, maybe his Susanoo can be equipped with more powerful weapons.

"Anyway, Lanshan, remember to bring that child here."

After thinking hard,
Zong Xian made a decision.

Rather than letting Uchiha Itachi let himself go, and the latter said that he killed him, it would be better to send it to the police department and watch it under his nose. If there is any change in him, then he will deal with it immediately This genius descendant of the Uchiha clan.

"What if he doesn't want to come?"

"Then recruit him in the name of the patriarch."

The patriarch of the Uchiha clan is not just a title, he has clear rewards and punishments for the clansmen.

"alright, I got it."

Uchiha Arashiyama nodded.

"Okay, let's stop here for today! Let's talk about other things tomorrow."

Zong Xian looked out the window,

The orange-red afterglow is projected from the window, coating the floor of the office with a bright color.

Before I knew it, the sun was setting and the smoke rising from the village was clearly visible. It was indeed almost time to get off work.

----

Konoha Village, the northeast corner, the clan land of the Uchiha clan.

Located on a training ground in the dense forest, with the help of the afterglow of the setting sun, a pair of brothers are practicing against each other. The five-year-old Uchiha Sasuke is holding Kunai to attack non-stop. Unfortunately, his movements are so crude that there is no need to start. Sharingan, Uchiha Itachi can see many loopholes in his baby brother's posture.

"Sasuke, when you charge forward, you swing your arms too much...Lower your center of gravity, it's important to learn to stand still..."

Uchiha Itachi was unraveling the move while pointing Sasuke how to correct the mistake.

The boy listened very carefully. He kept every word his brother said firmly in his heart, and corrected his movements bit by bit according to what his brother said. Exercises like this are already part of his daily life. Every day After ninja school, before dinner, I will practice with my brother in this training ground.

"Sasuke, you can rest now."

Uchiha Itachi looked up through the dense and luxuriant canopy above, glanced at the sky that was about to turn dark, and accelerated the speed of his attack. He took the kunai from his younger brother's hand in an instant, then stretched out his hand to hold his little brother's head, and said softly : "It's time to go home, mom should have prepared dinner and wait for us by this time."

"Eh? Are you going back now? The sun hasn't set yet?"

Sasuke was not happy to go back so early, he liked practicing with his brother the most.

"If it's late, father might not let us practice at this time." Uchiha Itachi began to pack his things.

"······All right!"

Thinking of his father's majestic appearance, Sasuke succumbed.

Although his father now has plenty of time to teach him how to practice, Sasuke still likes to practice with his brother.

The two brothers packed up their things, left the training ground, returned home, opened the sliding door, stepped into the entrance with one foot, and saw Uchi standing on the floor of the corridor, wearing a home kimono with his hands in his sleeves Bo Fuyue, the stern-faced former patriarch looked at the two sons who had just returned home, and shouted sharply:
"too slow!"

"It's fine if Sasuke is ignorant, why even You Itachi are messing around with Sasuke, wandering outside without going home every day, it's too shameful."

The harsh tone made Sasuke lower his head a little uneasy, and reached out to grab his brother's skirt.

"Father, I plan to pick up a mission this weekend, and I will trouble you to take Sasuke to practice." Facing his father's lesson, Uchiha Itachi calmed down. This was not the first time that he was blamed like this. Know how to deal with your father.

really,

After hearing Uchiha Itachi's answer, although Uchiha Fugaku still had a straight face, he didn't say anything, turned around and walked straight towards the restaurant. Uchiha Itachi turned back and smiled at his younger brother. The two brothers exchanged words at the entrance. Shoes, Uchiha Mikoto, who heard the end of the farce at the door, poked her head out and urged the two brothers to wash their hands with a smile.

Dinner is sukiyaki.

A family of four sat around the table.

Strictly speaking, it should be a family of five. Uchiha Mikoto's slightly protruding belly is pregnant with a small new life.

"When I went shopping today, I heard that the patriarch is back?"

Uchiha Mikoto picked up a chopstick of beef and put it into Sasuke's bowl, while distractedly talking to her husband.

"Well, I'm back."

"Aren't there any activities or ceremonies in the clan?"

"There was an original plan, but before the patriarch came back, he sent a letter to stop it, saying that there was no need to spend a lot of time to do something... to save face, and after some discussion, it was cancelled. After all, the war in the north has not yet begun. After the end, it is very likely that the patriarch will go north."

Uchiha Fugaku picked up a piece of tofu, and while it was drying, he talked, and when he finished speaking, the tofu was almost ready to eat.

"Do you still want to go to the north? This is really hard work!"

"Able people should do more work."

Uchiha Fugaku said and looked at the eldest son, "Itachi, do you want to go to the north? I showed you the battlefield when you were young, but you were still too young at that time. If you want to see what war is , you can take this opportunity to look north.”

Itachi Uchiha was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect his father to ask such a question suddenly.

"Fu Yue, what are you talking about? Itachi is only ten years old."

Uchiha Mikoto's complexion was not very good.

Like most mothers, Uchiha Mikoto does not want to see her child go to the battlefield, especially when she is pregnant now, she really does not want to hear any bad news at this time, even if she knows I know that ninja is a high-risk occupation that walks on the edge of a cliff all the time.

"Itachi, think about it carefully! Such an opportunity is rare."

Uchiha Fugaku ignored his wife, but looked at his son seriously.

For ninjas, seeing the cruelty of war is not a bad thing, especially Itachi was very intelligent since he was a child. It is said to be beneficial and harmless, as to whether it will be dangerous...
Ninjas are inherently high-risk occupations, and there are not a few ninjas who sacrificed their lives even for daily tasks. Moreover, he believes that with Itachi's ability, as long as his luck is not too bad, it should not be difficult to come back alive.

"I will think about it."

Uchiha Itachi lowered his head and replied softly.
