Konoha Sheriff

At the same time that Konoha F4 was discussing how to deal with the Uchiha clan in the Hokage's office, Beichen and Shisui were also called to the clan leader's mansion by Fugaku.

Itachi's ANBU team was not in the mansion because they had a mission to go out (since Beichen disappeared, Shisui has not reported to ANBU for a long time)

Beichen and Zhishui saw the 7-year-old Erzhuzi at Fugaku's house.

Beichen was in a good mood today, and wanted to find a chance to tease Erzhuzi, but Erzhuzi heard a lot of bad things about Beichen from his brother, so that he didn't say hello to him at all after seeing Beichen. He was very worried. He snorted coldly and ran away angrily.

Beichen didn't take this incident seriously. After smiling at each other and Zhishui, he came to the study where Fugaku was.

"Lord Patriarch, what are your orders for calling me and Zhisui here so late?"

Beichen and Fugaku were already very familiar with each other, so they didn't have to be too polite and went straight to the point and asked about the reason for calling them here today.

Fugaku looked at these two Uchiha talents who were only 16 years old with a face full of relief, and his eyes were filled with shadows of his own youth.

Although he has neither managed to unite the originally divided Uchiha into one by himself, nor has he opened the Mangekyō Sharingan that has only appeared in legends at a young age, this does not prevent him from feeling that he is the same as the one before him. The two are quite similar...

"Actually, it can't be said to be a big event. For the tribesmen outside, it may be an extremely grand event, but for you two, it's just a matter of time."

After Fugaku pressed Beichen and Zhi Shui's shoulders and motioned them to sit down, he first said to Zhi Shui:

"Zhishui, I couldn't find a good time because of Beichen's disappearance. Now that Beichen is back, the family no longer has any worries.

Then the matter of your succession as deputy clan leader should naturally be put on the agenda. "

"I?!"

Shisui was stunned by Fugaku's words. He never expected that Fugaku would immediately elevate himself to the level of deputy clan leader as soon as he opened his mouth.

"This is the ancestral motto of our Uchiha." Fugaku stopped the excited Shisui and said slowly:

"The Mangekyo Sharingan is a near-ultimate power. A clansman who has mastered the Mangekyo Sharingan is the sharpest spear in the family. Since it is the sharpest spear, how can it not be in a high position?

In addition, this is not an honor, but a real responsibility. If you bear these eyes, you will also bear the responsibility of using these eyes to protect the Uchiha clan all the way. This is your mission. "

Hearing what Fugaku said, Shisui couldn't help but fell into a long silence.

Beichen watched all this from the side and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"It seems that under his subtle influence, Fugaku has finally come to his senses. He can be regarded as the No. 1 person in the clan who knows how to use power and obligation to tie down Shisui."

Beichen was sighing at Fugaku's sudden enlightenment, but he never thought that the next second, Fugaku suddenly turned his head and looked straight at Beichen with his eyes:

"Do you think what I said is right? No. 20 generation Uchiha clan leader?"

"The patriarch is right..." Beichen subconsciously followed Fugaku's words, but the next second he suddenly realized that something seemed not right.

What did Fugaku just call himself? No.20 generation Uchiha clan leader? !

"It's really rare to see you showing such an expression."

Seeing Beichen's disbelieving expression, Fugaku couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"Master Patriarch, you..."

Beichen was really stunned by Fugaku's sudden behavior of sending the clan leader off.

He had thought that Fugaku might be forced to pass on the position of clan leader to him as his power fell, but he didn't expect that this scene would happen so quickly.

Before he even started to argue, Fugaku himself threw away the position of clan leader. What kind of thing is this?

Fugaku smiled and patted Beichen on the shoulder, his tone filled with both relief and admiration:

"Beichen, you may not know that during the past few days when you were missing, there wasn't a day when I didn't miss you...

When you were around, I didn't think many things were a big deal, but when you disappeared, I suddenly realized how much better you were at handling the police force and family affairs than I was. "

"That's just some..."

Beichen was about to explain, but Fugaku stretched out his hand to interrupt him:

"You don't have to be modest. Although I don't have much ability, I still have some self-awareness... I have held the position of patriarch for nearly 20 years, but it is not as good as the three years you have been the police minister. That’s enough to explain the problem.”

To be honest, at this moment, Beichen was wondering if there was a 500-sword ax hand hidden behind the screen, or if Fugaku was going to play a trick on him, like giving him a cup of wine to release his military power.

But his knowledge of Fugaku and his own perception told him that there were no 500 axemen behind the screen. Fugaku seemed to sincerely want to pass on the position of clan leader to him.

"To tell you the truth, since I took over as clan leader, the goal or ideal I have set is to let Uchiha end the previous state of division and return to the 'one Uchiha' that existed when Konoha was founded. situation.

It's a pity that my own abilities are not good enough. I have been working hard for the past 20 years. Not only has it failed to restore the family to its original state, but because of my own indecision, the hawks and doves have become more divided and strengthened.

I really see this situation and feel anxious in my heart.I don't know how many times I suddenly woke up from my dreams, dreaming about my father and the Uchiha ancestors questioning me and asking me why I managed the family like it is today. "

When Fugaku said this, his face was paralyzed and there were tears in his eyes, which was obviously not acting.

"But fortunately, you are there. Since you took over as the Minister of Police, the family has shown unprecedented harmony. I have never seen the family be so united.

I'm not afraid of being laughed at when I say it. When I first heard that your life or death was uncertain, I actually thought in my heart that with the foundation you laid, I might not be able to let the family continue to maintain this trend.

But soon, reality slapped me in the face and made me realize the fact. "

Having said this, Fugaku subconsciously took Beichen's hand and said in an extremely serious tone:

"Beichen, you have qualities that I don't have. I feel more at ease when I leave my family to you than to anyone else. I believe that under your leadership, Uchiha can move forward more steadily, longer, and better."
