After receiving the approval of the leader of the Uzumaki clan, Ashina, the Uzumaki Branch of the Konoha Police Department was officially established.
At the same time, five Uzumaki tribe members joined the Uzumaki Branch of the Police Department.
This news caused widespread concern among the major ninja clans in Konoha.
Although the current Uzumaki clan is declining, after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Uzumaki clan, which was once a die-hard ally of the Senju clan, still has its heritage and is still one of the wealthy ninja clans.
In particular, most of Konoha's sealing techniques were gifts from Ashina, the previous leader of the Uzumaki clan, and the Konoha Jounin uniforms also have the Uzumaki clan's logo.
No matter how weak it is, it doesn't mean that the Uzumaki clan has no influence.
This is especially true for those ninja clans with a long history.
As we all know, the Police Department has always been a taboo of the Uchiha clan since its establishment. No foreigners have ever joined. Now, five Uzumaki ninjas suddenly broke the convention and joined the Police Department. They also established a so-called Uzumaki Branch, even without mentioning the purpose and motivation of the Uzumaki clan, the name of this so-called police station is enough to make people think.
Has the Uzumaki clan really begun to form an alliance with the Uchiha clan?
Not to mention the other ninja clan in Konoha, even Tsunade was stunned.
Is it because Senju has retired to seclusion and his name is no longer there, so the Uzumaki clan wants to find another ally?
Or are there other unspeakable secrets behind this matter?
Tsunade didn't know what to do about this.
But no matter how the rumors from the outside evolved, the Uzumaki Branch of the Police Department jointly established by Uchiha and Uzumaki was officially opened the day after its establishment.
Uchiha Kazushi, the former captain of the police department who was a close confidant of the clan leader, personally led his forty-two ninjas to officially take office as the chief of the Uzumaki Branch of the Police Department, and Uzumaki Yasuji, a tribesman recommended by Uzumaki Ashina, became the adjutant.
After discussions between the Uchiha clan and the Uzumaki clan, the Uzumaki branch adopted a structure similar to that of the police department headquarters, and divided several professional police groups internally.
Among them, the patrol team has 24 members, the inspection team has 12 members, the mobile team has 12 members, the assault team has 12 members, and the finance and budget and final accounts team has 6 members. Including the chief and deputy chief officers, the number of people in the branch is as high as 68. member.
Although the current number of people from the two tribes is not enough to fill the entire branch staffing, both parties do not care about it. After all, the top priority is to support the stall first.
Uchiha Fugaku also found a position as the supervisor of the patrol team in the Whirlpool Bureau.
Uchiha Tokumitsu also got the position of head of the anti-illegal organizations and counterintelligence team under the police headquarters.
Although the atmosphere inside Konoha became increasingly weird with the establishment and operation of the Uzumaki Branch of the Police Department, the Uchiha did not care and immediately devoted themselves to Konoha's security and law enforcement work according to their respective responsibilities.
The merchants in Konoha were even more nervous.
Because every merchant has received the Public Security Management and Counter-Espionage Regulations issued by the Police Department, which lists hundreds of management requirements, and there are also corresponding penalties.
Among them, the most prominent is the fine.
The numerous fines make merchants dizzy.
In the past, although ordinary villagers were quite afraid of the Police Department, merchants, especially those with ninja background, were respectful and obedient on the surface, but in their hearts they did not take the Police Department seriously.
Because no matter what trouble they cause, as long as it does not involve spies, as long as there is indeed a conflict with Uchiha, there will always be other departments in Konoha and even ANBU to interfere.
There are often people who have just been taken away by Uchiha and have not had time to be imprisoned. Then other departments of Konoha come to release them with documents. When such things happen more often, the majesty of the police department is naturally deeply affected.
But the aggressiveness displayed by the police force has significantly doubled since the reform.
For three days in a row, there were no less than ten obvious conflicts between the Police Department and the Konoha Government Affairs Department. Four ninjas who came to be released on bail with documents from the Government Affairs Department were directly taken into the custody of the Correctional Services Department by the Crime Team of the Police Headquarters. He was imprisoned and charged with "dereliction of duty" and "false transmission of government documents."
The crime was made up by Uchiha Tokimitsu.
After being charged with the crime, Uchiha Tokumitsu added these two items to the police code as a precedent for the future.
The imprisonment of the Ministry of Government ninjas is equivalent to poking a hornet's nest.
Koharu, the consultant elder in charge of the Ministry of Government Affairs, was jumping up and down, criticizing the Uchiha clan for being too strict in enforcing the law, and was suspected of taking revenge for personal gain.
But if the ninjas of the Ministry of Government are imprisoned, they will be imprisoned, and it is useless no matter who appeals; according to the first trial judgment, they will be transferred to a labor camp for two months after being detained in the detention center for one month, and during the detention period, the detainees must be The family brings money to pay for food and custody management fees.
Through the reform and reorganization of the police department, the Uchiha radicals gradually gained more power.
Although it strikes hard at merchants with a background, the police department treats villagers with no background in a fair manner. Even if they violate the regulations, if it is the first time, they will only give a warning or give each person a fifty-dollar slap. Let's settle the matter.
The advantage of different treatment is that it makes the civilians who are originally angry at the ninjas feel more comfortable.
Although the civilians of Konoha do generally live a good life compared to civilians in other areas of the Land of Fire.
But after all, Konoha is also a place where the Ninja clan gathers, and the existence of the Ninja clan will inevitably erode the interests of the civilians.
For example, the Nara family's medicine business has squeezed Konoha's herbalists to the point of struggling to survive; while the Akimichi family's food business has monopolized Konoha's high-end catering market.
As for the ninja clans such as Hinata, Sarutobi, Shimura, and Inuzuka, they each have their own exclusive businesses.
When there are more uncles, the interests of the common people will naturally be oppressed and exploited.
However, the police department has recently launched a heavy attack on those merchants of the great ninja clan, often arresting people and closing their stores in the name of violating regulations. This has actually freed up a lot of money for the lives and operations of Konoha civilians or small ninja clan. space, everyone suddenly felt that the business environment had suddenly been optimized!
I hope the wealthy families can be locked up longer!
Konoha civilians and young ninja families are secretly looking forward to it.
Sarutobi, Shimura and Ino Shikacho from the Hokage family have their own ideas, the Great Ninja have their own ideas, and the common people and the Little Ninja naturally have their own choices.
Anyway, neither Uchiha nor the rich are good birds. Since it has nothing to do with him, he can just sit back and watch the show.
This is the most widely recognized idea among the common people of Konoha and the small ninja clan.
And this is also very consistent with Uchiha Tokko's original intention of fighting one faction after another to fight for the last faction.
Uchiha Tokumitsu is also quite satisfied with the current atmosphere inside the village.
Facts have proven that being afraid of power without virtue is the subconscious evil of every ordinary person who does not have a strong will. As long as proper temptation is given, negative public opinions are all nonsense and almost worthless in the face of interests.
The Uchiha conservatives are very worried about the recent frequent conflicts. They feel that this kind of behavior that creates conflicts and estrangements will inevitably affect the unity between Konoha and Uchiha and is intolerable behavior.
But when they came to Uchiha Tokumitsu and tried to lobby, they were directly kicked out by Uchiha Tokumitsu.
Then, a piece of official paper transferred them from the police department and threw them into the northwest border defense force of the Land of Grass, and gradually replaced the radical Uchiha tribesmen back to the village.
The patriarch's direct line also gained more real power in the process of suppressing conservatives, and naturally they had no objections to the popular and powerful Uchiha Tokimitsu.
"Tokumitsu-kun...do you have time to talk to this old guy like me?"
After eleven faction members were transferred from the police department, the conservative elder Uchiha Sanchiyo finally couldn't sit still anymore and took the initiative to find Uchiha Tokumitsu to try to intercede.
"You're welcome, elder, but your words are serious. Please come in and take a seat."
Uchiha Tokumitsu quickly introduced the three thousand generations of elders into the office of the police department.
"I know Tokumitsu-kun has some opinions against conservatives, but after all, like Tokumitsu-kun, they are all descendants of the Uchiha clan."
The Sanqiandai elders stopped beating around the bush and went directly to the topic: "No matter what our stance is, the ultimate goal is for the family. I hope Lord Deguang can understand..."
Elder Sanchiyo's posture was very low, and Uchiha Tokko couldn't be tough.
"I understand, so I don't blame them too much." Uchiha Tokumitsu first set a tone for his behavior, and then explained: "It's just that they really don't get along with the family. Let them go to the border to experience it. It’s also a good thing…”
"Tokumitsu-kun, the family can no longer withstand the blow of the Battle of Naraku Underworld. Please be sure not to provoke internal conflicts." Elder Sanchidai said solemnly.
"I know..." Uchiha Tokumitsu also sighed: "Elder Sanchiyo, as you said, we are all for the future of the clan, but the recent behavior of the conservatives is destroying the current situation..."
The three thousand generations of elders also remained silent.
As an elder of the clan, he naturally knows the character of his clan members.
In the past, conservatives with relatively mild personalities acted as the lubricant between Uchiha and the village. They were believers in the Will of Fire. They were usually courteous and treated Konoha villagers and fellow ninjas equally.
But after the Uchiha radicals began to unify the interior and take power, the conservatives seemed out of place and even an eyesore.
Especially after the radicals and patriarchs merged directly, the conservatives were almost squeezed to the point where they had no place to stand.
When the Uchiha clan begins to actively stir up trouble in order to expand the boundaries of their power, the outdated conservatives must be eliminated. Even if they do not initiate another civil war, they must be exiled to the Country of Grass and wait for the Uchiha clan to rule. The area must be monitored, otherwise none of the Uchihas in power would be at ease.
Even if we are of the same clan, we must accept the consequences of marginalization if we do not agree.
"Let's do this... the conservative tribesmen should give up their operational positions in the police department and work in internal support agencies..." Elder Michiyo felt sad, but Uchiha Tokimitsu couldn't bear it in the end.
"Can……"
Elder Sanchiyo took a deep breath and nodded in agreement with Uchiha Tokumitsu's opinion.
"...In addition, if there are still people who have contact with the Hokage family, I also hope that they can take the initiative to cut off contact." Uchiha Tokumitsu lowered his head and added: "Everything in the past can be forgotten, but if If something similar happens again..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't finish what he said, but Elder Sanchiyo also understood what he meant.
"...I understand." Elder Sanchiyo sighed and stood up slowly: "In any case, I still want to thank Lord Tokuguang for forgiving those unscrupulous disciples..."
"They are all from the Uchiha clan. Elder Sanchiyo is really too polite..."
Uchiha Demitsu also stood up to see him off.
Just as he opened the door to the office, an Uchiha ninja ran back excitedly and shouted with a hint of excitement: "Sir Tokumitsu, there is a conflict between the Uzumaki Branch of the Police Department and the ANBU!"
"Really! Great!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu was not surprised but overjoyed.
