"During this period of time, you should not go anywhere except the police department and clan areas. Let other people replace your patrol duties."
You are the patriarch, you have the final say.
In this regard, Hiko has no objection, and it is not bad to skip work with pay and be lazy.
"correct."
Hiko had already reached the door, and Fugaku's voice came over:
"Don't blame Shishui, he can't help himself. In fact, Shishui is a very gentle person, both to outsiders and to his own people."
"I know, but I can't help myself."
Shishui is a good person, but he has no opinions, otherwise he would not be easily brainwashed by the higher-ups.
But he is in trouble, what about me?
In order to unite Uchiha, I have made all kinds of troubles, and it is not easy for me!
If I try to forgive him, who will forgive me?
For Shishui, Hiko has no hope.
As long as the opponent doesn't jump out and hinder him.
"I will reorganize the police department's team. I think the police department needs to add a few captains. I will discuss this matter with the elders. I hope you can take care of your people."
What's the meaning?
Reorganization?
Hiko didn't understand why Fugaku had such an idea.
At present, the job distribution of the police department already belongs to a very standard model.
After all, Uchiha has worked hard for many years. Although Uchiha's people are arrogant, it doesn't mean they have no brains.
But Fugaku wanted a reorganization at this juncture.
The reorganization of the police department may bring great changes to Uchiha.
The minister's office fell silent, and Fugaku pressed his hands on the table, facing the table. Suddenly, he let out a muffled groan, and blood flowed down his eye sockets.
Picking up the towel to cover his eyes, Fuyue panted heavily, leaning on the back chair, muttering to himself: "Why not?"
After resting for a while, the dizzy Fugaku returned home.
Itachi, who was playing with his younger brother Sasuke, saw his father came back, and quickly stepped forward and bowed to say hello: "Father."
"Um."
Fugaku, who had already recovered, responded lightly and asked:
"How is Sasuke doing in school?"
"Of course not bad, I want to be as strong as my brother."
Sasuke boasted of himself, with a grin on his face.
Before the family was destroyed and his parents died, Sasuke had a cheerful personality, and he also liked to show off his achievements in front of his elder brother and father, hoping to be praised by his father and elder brother.
"As expected of my son."
Fugaku rarely showed a smile, and pampered his son's head:
"You go upstairs to play, your brother and I have something to talk about."
"Oh~"
Sasuke was a little disappointed, he liked to stick to his father and brother very much, but facing his father with a stern face and a dignified face, Sasuke could only go upstairs obediently.
Itachi quietly knelt on the mat, waiting for his father's instruction.
Sitting cross-legged, Fugaku asked casually:
"I believe you have heard about what happened to the family and the police department. What do you think of Hiko's performance?"
"yes."
Itachi bent slightly, then sat up straight, looked at his father calmly, and replied:
"Father, I think Senior Hiko's idea is good, but the method is a bit radical, and he is very rude to the elder."
To change Uchiha's status quo and solve some headaches for Uchiha, this is something Itachi wants to do, but can't.
He couldn't even bring it up.
Hiko's family is lonely, and he has nothing but some young followers. He can say what he wants to say and do what he wants to do without fear.
In the face of the aggressive Sixth Elder, he can also attack directly.
If it were Itachi, he would definitely not dare to do this.
Hiko shot at the Sixth Elder, there is nothing wrong with it, if it were him, he would definitely be sprayed to death.
"Itachi, do you really think so?"
Fugaku's tone became severe.
Facing his father who suddenly changed his attitude, Itachi bowed his head slightly, and replied respectfully:"Yes, my lord father, Senior Hiko seems to be rude, but in fact, what he did was for the sake of the tribe. The complaints from the police department have always troubled everyone, but now they have been resolved very well.
And the seniors saw it very clearly.
Some things, the family has no way to solve it, but no one to solve it. "
These words already hinted at the suspicion that his father was incompetent, but Itachi still said it.
"However, if he does this, it will make the village feel more disgusted with us Uchiha, and it will inevitably increase our surveillance and control."
Fugaku didn't shy away from these topics, so he directly brought them out to discuss with his son.
Itachi fell silent.
He has already learned about these things through Shishui. Regarding these things, Itachi also has a headache as to how to analyze them.
From Uchiha's point of view, Itachi thinks that Hiko did nothing wrong, but doing these things will strengthen the village's defense and surveillance of the family, and the pros and cons are obvious.
Seeing that his son was silent, Fugaku didn't ask any further questions. The father and son just sat together, relatively silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Fugaku, who seemed to be grinding his son's temper, finally spoke.
"Recently, don't go to see Shishui. I will reorganize the police team. Shishui is transferred away, and his position will be vacant. I hope you can fill it up and follow Hiko.
Rest well, I hope you can think from his perspective. "
Uchiha needs someone to open up the situation, and this opportunity is Anbu.
Originally, Fugaku planned to send his son Itachi to Anbu.
Uchiha worked so hard for so many years and paid a lot of money to get the consent of the third Hokage. This is an opportunity.
But with Hiko's repeated tossing, Fugaku changed his mind.
He asked Itachi to enter the police department, and he would work with Hiko.
"Yes, my lord father."
Itachi obediently accepted his father's arrangement without any resistance or dissatisfaction.
It seems that he, Uchiha Itachi, should be like this.
night.
After a busy day, Shishui, who almost doubted his life, came to the patriarch's compound.
The guards of the patriarch's compound had gone back to rest, and Fugaku was the only one left in the courtyard, drinking tea in the courtyard.
"Master Patriarch."
Wearing a tight black suit, Shisui entered the courtyard and saluted Fugaku respectfully.
Fugaku put down the tea cup in his hand slowly, and slowly raised his head: "The work over there is a headache, right?"
The department responsible for handling complaints has been set up, and the third Hokage did not break its promise. After agreeing to Fugaku, it started to prepare.
It's just that when the people in this department deal with complaints, the progress is not smooth.
Those who can complain to the Hokage office building are either of the entangled type, or they hate the police department or Uchiha.
In the face of these people, you can't do anything about them even if you use your mouth.
No, Shishui, who has just been transferred for a day, feels physically and mentally exhausted.
"It's difficult."
Shisui squeezed out an ugly smile wearily, scratched his short hair, and sighed:
"I never thought before that these things would be so troublesome to deal with. It takes a lot of procedures to get forgiveness from others. It's not easy."
"Then do you think Hiko's proposal is right or wrong?"
Fugaku asked.
