Chapitre 54: Chapter 54: How the Uchiha Clan Won Over the Village
As Funan expected.
While Uchiha continued to remain quiet, the Hokage group became a little unable to sit still.
The calm before the storm made their hearts heavy and suffocating! Because their spies told them that Fugaku had provided a large amount of supplies to enhance Uchiha's power.
Even Koharu and Homura, who originally had little trust in Danzo were now urging him to act.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Danzo obtained a large amount of funds from Konoha and regained control of Root.
Even Hiruzen, although reluctant, realized that, with Koharu and Homura, the Root could not organize itself in a hundred years.
They needed Danzo!
Uchiha became quieter and quieter.
Following Funan's policy, they even smiled and greeted the villagers.
Although Uchiha's smile scared many people at first, now everyone has gradually adapted to it and sometimes smiles back.
They still don't like Uchiha, but you can't be cold-faced when someone smiles at you, right?
The Uchiha's reputation began to improve rapidly. At least they were no longer considered enemies.
On the contrary, because Uchiha ignored many things, the villagers got into trouble.
The Uchiha clan's position was crucial!
Many said that Senju Tobirama, out of fear of the Uchiha clan, had handed over control of the Konoha Police Force to the Uchiha clan. Allowing them to work independently and, what's more, do unpleasant jobs with the goal of completely isolating the Uchiha clan from the village and ultimately forcing them to rebel.
However, Funan did not agree with this theory, he had always had a suspicion.
Tobirama's fear of the Uchiha clan was not unfounded, but would he really use the Konoha Police Force as a joke to deal with them?
Was his political approach so foolish?
The Konoha Police Force was crucial, if the Uchiha clan really wanted to harness its power to do something, the entire Konoha would be in chaos, it wouldn't be much better than a direct rebellion.
Therefore, Funan was more inclined to think that Tobirama allowed the Uchiha clan to deal with the village's problems and maintain the safety and stability of the village.
They will be appreciated by the villagers and identify with the village. Let them catch criminals and see what happens to those criminals. Let them get in touch with the lowest level and understand life.
Integrating into Konoha step by step.
Just like the Senju clan, they eventually broke up and completely integrated into Konoha.
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the huge power given to Uchiha by Tobirama.
Funan even believed that if Tobirama had not died, Uchiha Kagami could have been the Third Hokage, or even his descendant, Shisui, could have become Hokage.
That was the Second Hokage's true purpose.
It was only after Funan assumed control of the Konoha Police Force that he realized that the Uchiha clan had the right to make decisions without prior information and to expand the force.
How terrible this is!
Basically, as the leader of the Police Force, Funan could mobilize an army and at the same time, he could act against anyone.
Of course, if the Uchiha clan became arrogant and overbearing, they would eventually take a different path.
Because arrogance and excessive authority, combined with excessive application of the law, would lead to the villagers' contempt and, ultimately, destruction.
In this sense, the Konoha Corrupt Quartet also had an important role.
Is it really the will of the Second Hokage to exclude Uchiha?
It is possible that it is because their families need to expand, occupy some village interests, and some shinobi clans have to be eliminated in this process, and they chose the Uchiha clan for this.
Anyway, Tobirama is already dead, and no one can ask him personally.
Even if someone asked him, it would be meaningless. At this point, who would care so much? There is no turning back.
Funan only looks at the present. With such great power, there is no reason not to use it.
Being indifferent to what happens is also a strategy.
For example, right now, many villagers are fed up.
The Uchiha are doing nothing, and the most direct thing is that low-level thieves are acting with impunity.
According to Funan's arrangement, the Police Force only takes care of big things and ignores small things. However, what big things can happen in Konoha?
After the thieves tested the Uchiha, many of them, more daring, began to rob homes directly when the villagers were away.
God knows how some people feel when they go to work and come home to find their entire house empty.
Several of them ran desperately to seek help from the Police Force.
Following Funan's instructions, the Police Force treated them kindly, questioned them seriously, took notes, and then told them: "Go back home and wait for news!"
Smiling all the time.
And then...
What more is there to say?
After one or two times, many villagers discovered this and accused Uchiha of his inaction. They even slapped the table and almost poked Uchiha's nose with their fingers.
The Uchiha still had a good attitude and always had a smile on their face, but the Sharingan appeared in their eyes.
At this moment, the villagers suddenly trembled and realized their mistakes. The people they were blaming were Uchiha. The villagers fled in bewilderment.
The Uchiha were lazy and disinterested, they didn't want to do anything. Only until the owners begged until they were breathless did they act.
After many pleas, they finally recovered the lost items.
Looking at the result, the owners were so grateful to the Uchiha that they almost knelt down.
As a result, Uchiha's reputation and strength have both improved.
The Konoha Corrupt Quartet began to get anxious. Their goal was to isolate the Uchiha and make everyone in the village detest them. Now it seems that the opposite has happened.
Many Uchiha of the Police Force saved time, increased their strength, their reputation improved, the salary remained the same, but the clan was now giving bonuses.
Curse! Minister Funan, a person who improved their lives so much, is only the deputy leader of the clan...
Because?
In just half a month, there were many voices calling for the Fugaku clan leader to abdicate and Funan to take over and become the real Uchiha clan leader.
Seeing the changes in Uchiha, the smile on Fugaku's face never disappeared. But when calls were heard for Funan to assume leadership of the Uchiha, he stopped smiling.
Fugaku didn't intend to stay in this position for long anyway, but is it appropriate for them to do this?
Did they think he had no dignity? Are there any Uchiha who have been forced to relinquish clan leadership?
…Okay, there really is!
That buddy was forced to run away from home and became the greatest missing-nin in the shinobi world.
But Fugaku definitely can't be like him.
At this time, the person who gave him a fatal blow came.
Itachi, after finishing his missions and speaking with the clan members, very much agreed with their opinion.
Isn't it just a matter of time before Funan becomes clan leader?
Furthermore, the sooner he takes office, the easier it will be for him to work for the clan. Regardless, the current situation feels strange and restrictive.
Itachi thought that his father was not someone attached to the position of clan leader. So, Itachi returned home excitedly and negotiated with his father to get him to resign.
That night, heart-rending screams echoed through the central area of the Uchiha clan.
Many even thought that Hiruzen had taken action. The tension spread throughout the clan.
Hearing the screams, Funan, who was drinking tea, sighed deeply. "How can the child be beaten like this when he is older?"
"Get out of here, is this the right thing for you to say? Has your hair grown all the way?" Setsuna rolled his eyes and said: "Itachi, that little guy is pretty good. He is dedicated to the family."
"But, you can't approach him like that directly either. Do you think Fugaku has no shame?" Funan said angrily.
Setsuna said coldly: "If it weren't for him, how could Uchiha have reached this point?"
"You..." Funan shook his head and said: "You can't blame him entirely. Don't you and Elder Soji have any responsibility?"
"Boy, it looks like your skin is itchy!" Setsuna looked at Funan with an evil look. "A brat like you talking to me like this, you're asking for a beating!"
"Minister!" At this time, an Uchiha hurried over and whispered: "Nara Shikaku has arrived, he came secretly and wants to talk to you."
"Has he finally come?" Funan stood up and said, "Old man, do you want to come?"
"No!" Setsuna said angrily. "I have an allergy to members of the Nara clan!"
Funan said suspiciously: "Didn't you only get beaten up by Sarutobi Hiruzen? Could it be that someone from the Nara clan came up with the idea?!"
"Go to hell!" Setsuna threw his teacup forcefully. This beast keeps saying this all day long. 'I caused trouble back then and was taken care of by Hiruzen, so what? The two grandsons Soji and Fugaku don't even have the courage to cause trouble. They have allowed themselves to be bullied until now. Can they compare with me?'
...
"Hey, Scarface, what a long time! I've missed you!" Funan yelled, walked over, and gave Shikaku a big hug.
The constitution that had been modified by the God Tree was stronger than that of the Senju clan. Shikaku almost fainted from the hug.
"Okay, Funan, I know you are upset, don't take it out on me. I am also the leader of a clan. I have to consider the family. I can only ask for your forgiveness." Shikaku shook his head and smiled bitterly.
During the Third Shinobi World War, Funan and Minato were equally popular.
However, the people of the Hokage faction distrusted Funan and were unwilling to completely hand over authority to him, fearing that his fame would make it difficult to suppress him.
Therefore, Shikaku, who was next to Minato, was transferred to Funan, euphemistically saying that Funan was too young and lacked experience.
As a result, Shikaku became the commander-in-chief of a front, and Funan was the number one thug.
Funan doesn't care about this, as long as he wins. At that time, he had not even awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and he had no other options.
During the war, he cooperated very well with Shikaku. He was smart and his overall view was hundreds of times better than that of Danzo, who was the original commander-in-chief.
The two of them cooperated, but it was awkward at first. After all, they both knew the other's identity and were worried that the other would secretly do something to them.
However, as time went by, whether it was forced by the situation or something else, the two shinobi, who were different in age and divided into factions, secretly became friends.
When Shikaku mentioned his apology, he was referring to the fact that he had never come to Funan's defense when it was attacked by public opinion just before the end of the war. As a comrade in arms, he had been quite insensitive.
"How could I blame you?" Funan patted Shikaku on the shoulder and said: "I am now considered the leader of the Uchiha clan. I understand. I understand you too well."
"If you hit me again, I'll fall to the ground. If you don't give me fifty million ryo, don't even think I'll get up."
"Don't think I don't know that you're trying to get back at me."
Funan's face twitched: "Are you blackmailing me?"
Shikaku sneered: "You used this trick to blackmail me for ten million ryo!"
"Does the ace of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans care about ten million?"
"And the leader of the Uchiha for fifty million?"
"I'm not the clan leader yet!"
"Deputy Chief, I can give you a discount."
"You are cruel!" Funan sat down in front of the table, took a sip of tea, and said: "Well, did something happen to make you visit me?"
Shikaku took the tea and drank it in one gulp. "Of course I have something, otherwise, how would I dare to come at this time?"
"You are very rude!" Funan glanced at Shikaku sideways. "You dare to say anything."
"Being polite to you will only make me appear hypocritical." Shikaku smiled and said: "Are you really having a good time now?"
"How could I not be?" Funan chuckled and said: "The Ino-Shika-Cho clans and the Hokage faction separated, the Root was almost annihilated, the power of the Hokage faction was weakened, and the good days of the Uchiha clan had only just begun."
Shikaku shook his head and said: "That's what you say. But in reality, you are walking on eggshells with every step you take. Now is the most crucial time for the Uchiha. A single mistake could mean their destruction."
Funan smiled slightly and said nothing. But his consciousness sank into his body, looking at the two fruits.
Level 3 (Fire Release)
Level 4 (Eye Technique)
The fruit of the Eye Technique is very close to level 5. He has been collecting death row prisoners through the Police Force. It wouldn't be long before the fruit advances in level.
And also...
If he was pressured, he could take the fruit before it advanced to the next level, and it would still increase eye power. With the Tsugihagi no Kokuo, he would like to see who in Konoha could stop him.
