Konoha Sheriff

"Of course not!"

Shisui didn't need any hint, Itachi shouted directly.

He couldn't even imagine how the people in the police force would react when they heard something happened to Beichen.

How could Itachi, who embraced the lofty ideal of "realizing the peaceful evolution of his family and the village," witness such a situation?

Hearing his son's clear-cut opposition to him, Fugaku's brows furrowed unconsciously, but as a loving father, he still patiently asked Itachi for the reason for saying this.

"Because...because..."

Seeing that Itachi hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain why, Shisui stood up on the side and took the initiative:

"Lord Patriarch, and all the captains of the police force... You must have seen how hard Beichen Force has made in the past two months to change the villagers' impression of the family and the police force. In here?"

After hearing this, the ten captains and deputy captains hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

They patrol the streets with their team members every day because they are very aware of the villagers' attitude towards the police force.

"Minister Beichen has made so many efforts to improve the family's image in the hearts of the villagers. If I choose to break up with the top management of Konoha at this time.

So what will the villagers think of us?Aren’t all the efforts Captain Beichen put in previously in vain? "

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell into silence.

Many people looked in agreement after listening to Shisui's words.

But at this moment, Huo Feng, a die-hard loyalist of Beichen, suddenly said:

"However, Minister Beichen was killed by those hateful Konoha senior officials. If we don't take action, how can we comfort Minister Beichen's spirit in heaven?"

"Yes," hearing what Huofeng said, the captain of the fourth detachment, who obviously belonged to the hawk Uchiha, also spoke up at this time: "Besides, those high-level officials in Konoha dare to murder even Minister Beichen, and the follow-up will definitely be the same. Will they come up with ideas on our heads?"

Hearing the words of the fourth captain, not to mention the people around him, even Fugaku, the clan leader, nodded subconsciously.

Seeing that the situation on the field had changed again, with the hawks and doves taking clear sides, Itachi and Shisui both showed disappointment in their eyes, but at the same time, completely different thoughts came to their minds.

Shisui's idea is that only Beichen can lead the scattered Uchiha to come together. What Beichen said to him before is correct.

Beichen, if you are really no longer alive, then it will be up to me to shoulder your will and lead the people to move forward.

But Itachi's idea was that Beichen's previous approach really didn't work.

It took two months of hard work to finally look like an Uchiha, but as soon as Beichen died, the family immediately regressed back to its original appearance.

This shows what?It shows that Uchiha's narrow energy cannot be changed!

Beichen has proved with his own life that no matter what means are used, it is simply impossible to achieve peaceful coexistence with the village without the tribesmen changing their personalities.

If the internal lesions are not removed, how can we deal with external threats?

For a family that is rotten to the core, it is best to ruthlessly scrape the bones to cure the poison.

Just as Itachi was thinking about how to implement the "bone scraping and cure" for the family, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that Shisui had stood up at some point.

He faced the eyes of everyone present and stood in the center of the crowd, and then... suddenly bowed deeply to everyone present:

"Everyone, I can understand your urgency, but I still want to boldly say, please wait a little longer for a chance of a miracle."

Miracle?

Upon hearing this word, everyone present was stunned.

Of course they knew what the miracle Shisui meant, but... was such a miracle really possible?

Zhishui knew what everyone was thinking. In fact, even he felt that the probability that Beichen was still alive now was very slim. However, in order to prevent Beichen's previous efforts from being in vain, he still gritted his teeth and said:

"We haven't seen Beichen's body yet, haven't we? Before we see the body with our own eyes, there is still hope and possibility of turning everything around...

Everyone knows Beichen, and you should know that he never fights an uncertain battle. In order to bring down Uchiha, Beichen would rather lie dormant in the police force for three years. Such a man would really rashly die with the enemy. What? "

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was silent for a long time.

To be fair, they obviously didn't want anything to happen to Beichen, but the tragic scene on the barren mountain... could Minister Beichen really survive that tragic battle?

If he really survived, why has he refused to be released to Konoha?

"I, I also think Minister Beichen is still alive!"

In the silence, Quan, who had been sobbing silently, suddenly spoke:

"Minister Beichen said that he has his own sense of proportion..."

The girl's words contained a strong flavor of self-deception, but it made everyone unconsciously feel a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

"But, what should we do if we can't wait for Minister Beichen? Even if we are willing to wait, those high-level officials in Konoha may not be willing to wait.

Even if we do nothing, they will definitely be able to make little moves behind our backs. "

The fourth captain still felt that this was really inappropriate.

After being silent for a while, Fugaku also spoke:

"Yes, Shisui. Besides, paper can't cover the fire after all. If it keeps dragging on, the clansmen will be curious about where Minister Beichen has gone. How should we explain it then?"

Listening to the two people's questions, Shisui couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.

After all, he is not Beichen. He does not have Beichen's ability to make the final decision in just a few words.

However, he knew very well that he could never give in at this time.

For the plan he and Beichen agreed on, for changing the family, and for realizing the grand blueprint in his heart.

"Seven days..." Zhisui's voice was not loud, but it showed an extremely firm meaning:

"Seven days at most. If Minister Beichen still hasn't come back after seven days, it won't be too late for us to continue according to the original plan."

"But what if..." The fourth team captain wanted to say something else.

"Nothing unexpected!" Zhisui interrupted him roughly:

"If anything happens within these seven days, I will be responsible for all the consequences!"

At this point, Shisui, who had been bowing before, suddenly straightened his back, revealing his resolute face, and... a pair of four-cornered windmill-shaped Mangekyō Sharingan!
