Capítulo 75: Playing Monkeys
Facing Danzo's display of strength.
Fugaku did not reveal his emotions. He walked towards his seat while observing the various clans 'Clan leader out of the corner of his eye.
For the big clan, there are Sarutobi and Hyuga;
Middle clan, there are Shimura, Akimichi, Yamanaka, Nara, Inuzuka, Aburame;
There are even more small families, such as Kazamatsuri, Ise, Kurama, Gekkou, Yūhi, Mimura...all of them are here. Some of them were even Fugaku's first time seeing them.
Pulling unknown cats and dogs to join the head is just to make a big fanfare and create momentum.
In order to deal with Uchiha clan, this group of people really put in a lot of effort.
Fugaku felt disdain in his heart. He walked to the chair in the corner and sat down.
What was interesting was that.
Although he knew that the higher-ups were going to punish the police department and that he was about to face a storm, Fugaku did not panic at all.
He looked calmly at Sandaime on the other side of the conference table as well as the unfriendly gazes of Clan leader. He suddenly remembered something.
Three days ago.
In his busy schedule, Fugaku took time to visit his brother-in-law in the gym.
The two of them walked along Konoha's street and chatted.
During this period.
Fugaku once curiously asked Dan what hobbies he usually had. Did he really not have much interest in anything other than fitness?
At that time.
Coincidentally, a naughty wild monkey snatched the food of a child next to him, ran to the tree, and even made faces at people.
Duan saw this and went to the fruit stall to buy a banana.
In the puzzled eyes of Fugaku, Dan walked to the tree and handed the banana to Monkey.
When Monkey ran over and was about to take the banana, Dan turned his hand and like a magic trick, the banana suddenly disappeared.
Monkey scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously on the spot, feeling very surprised and puzzled.
Then.
Dan sent Monkey flying with a slap. Seeing the latter fleeing in a sorry state, he laughed happily.
"My hobby is playing monkey."
Dan turned around and said to Fugaku with a smile.
What kind of strange hobby was this?
Fugaku didn't understand at the time, but now he suddenly came to his senses, and concluded that what he was talking about was not playing monkeys, but... playing people.
His brother-in-law actually took pleasure in playing tricks on others.
Although it was wrong to play tricks on people, if the other party was like the wild monkey who stole the child's food, it would be another matter.
Just like now.
Uchiha was the child whose food had been taken away.
And Konoha, who was led by Sandaime, was the wild monkey.
It was a coincidence.
According to what Fugaku knew, the nickname of Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen when he was young was called "Monkey".
Since that was the case, then he would play along with them.
Fugaku originally intended to get straight to the point and directly say that Uchiha had decided to give up on the police department so as to end this meeting early.
But at this moment.
He suddenly wanted to see what tricks and moves Sandaime and the others had prepared in order to punish Uchiha.
It was a delightful thing to watch Monkey perform.
Isn't it?
Thinking of this.
Fugaku smiled and crossed his arms before his chest, sitting steadily on the 'stage'.
Eh?
Fugaku's attitude surprised everyone present.
It seemed that this Uchiha Clan leader had come prepared today and did not intend to bow his head easily. "Hmph."
When Danzo saw this, he snorted coldly and did not say another word.
He slapped the table and started to attack Fugaku in front of everyone.
"Uchiha Fugaku, as the captain of the police department, what explanation do you have for the matter of Uchiha neglecting their duty and causing a prison riot? This riot caused fifteen deaths, sixty-seven injuries, and a large number of buildings to be damaged. These are all the fault of the police department!"
Facing this menacing question.
"Yes, this is all the fault of the police department."
Fugaku nodded and did not make any excuses.
Uh.
This unexpected docile attitude stunned Danzo for a moment, and he thought he had heard wrong.
In his imagination, Fugaku should have argued,
There are many suspicious points in the riot. Maybe it is planned by someone with ulterior motives and provided some suspicious evidence to try to clear up the responsibility of Uchiha family.
What is the situation now?
Danzo came back to his senses and did not care about what tricks the other party was playing. He asked aggressively,
"In that case, I will announce the punishment for the police department on behalf of the village. Do you accept it or not?"
"Of course I do. As for the specific punishment, please tell me clearly, Lord Danzo."
Fugaku had a pious face, and he was as obedient as a sheep.
He was like this, which made Danzo a little overwhelmed.
One had to know.
In order to host this meeting, Danzo had painstakingly prepared for the entire night.
His goal was to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, and by punishing Uchiha in front of all of Clan leader in the village, he would establish his prestige.
The result.
Before his fist could strike out, Fugaku fell to the ground and surrendered.
In the eyes of others.
Rather than saying that Danzo was capable, it was more accurate to say that Uchiha Fugaku were too weak.
Forget it.
As long as he completed the process and settled Uchiha clan, the credit this time would belong to him, Danzo, from beginning to end.
No one could snatch it away.
Thus.
Danzo picked up a document on the table and announced to Fugaku with a cold face,
"Listen, there are three punishments for the police department."
"First, the riot has been proved that Uchiha is unable to manage the prison of the police department, so it must be taken back by the village. However, considering the face of the police department, the position of the prison can not be moved. It is under the jurisdiction of the village's special personnel, and it is fully responsible for the imprisonment, interrogation, and release of the prisoners.
Second, in order to invest more funds into the basic infrastructure of Konoha Hospital, Ninja School, and Anbu, from now on, the budget of the police department will be reduced by 30%.
Third, in order to rectify the bad atmosphere of the police department and alleviate the public dissatisfaction with Uchiha's violent law enforcement, Anbu's supervision team will be transferred to the police department, and has the right to suspended, demote, and remove the duties of the police department."
After these three were said.
Even Clan leader, who was present, couldn't help but be shocked and gasp.
Good fellow.
These three punishments were like three sharp knives that slashed the major artery of the police department. It simply made Uchiha bleed incessantly.
In the conference room, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
The group of Clan leader exchanged silent glances and sighed in their hearts. After Konoha's higher-ups suppressed the police department this time, they were going to further centralize power.
If Sandaime solved the hidden danger of Uchiha, he was afraid that he would have to be a Hokage for decades and die in that position.
In order to curry favor with the higher-ups and for the future of his family, in the matter of sanctioning Uchiha, these Clan leader...
Without a doubt, they would raise their hands and vote for him.
Fugaku lowered his gaze and shook his head with a smile.
Only now did he truly realize.
Whether it was Elder Setsuna's radical decision or Shisui's police department reform plan, none of them could pass this meeting.
Because.
The strategy of Konoha's higher-ups was to pressure the police department to the limit, but they would not really force Uchiha to death. Instead, they would leave them alive.
According to the punishment conditions proposed by Danzo.
After this meeting, the higher-ups will take away the power of the police department, but the police department is still in the hands of Uchiha, which can let Uchiha maintain basic dignity.
That's all.
Fugaku finally understood how correct the decision of Dan Uchiha for giving up the police department was.
"Let's start voting now. Those who agree to the above three punishments for Uchiha, please raise your hand, and it will take effect immediately if the number exceeds half."
Danzo could not wait and urged everyone to vote.
Just then.
"Wait."
Fugaku suddenly raised a hand and stared at Danzo with a burning gaze. "I have a better suggestion."
