Saving Uchiha starts with flipping the table

After Quan left, Yan asked Itachi who was standing in front of the desk:

"You should know why these people came to Konoha?"

"Yes, they came to plot the assassination of the daimyo."

Itachi answered truthfully.

"Then, tell me, what are the duties of the police department?"

"Maintain the village's law and order, and..."

The Third Hokage once said that although Itachi was a child, he was the child whose thoughts were closest to the Hokage, which meant that he was very smart.

Conversely, the smarter a person is, the more he knows, and the more things he cares about.

Facing Yan's question, Itachi was stuck.

Because the original intention of the establishment of the police department, in addition to maintaining the village's law and order, it also needs to participate in a series of important and dangerous tasks such as catching spies and criminals.

However, as the Third Hokage and others began to escalate their vigilance against Uchiha, Uchiha only had the responsibility of maintaining law and order.

Don't even think about other tasks and rights.

"Remember, the current duty of the police department is to maintain the public order of the village. We are also left with the right to maintain public order. We are powerless to do other things.

As for why it has developed to this point, you should know it in your heart.

Okay, go back. As long as these people don't gather to make trouble or do other extraordinary actions, there is no need to care about them."

"Konoha welcomes tourists and merchants from any region to come and play and do business."

"As for what you said, the police department has no power to manage it. This is the responsibility of the Anbu."

It seems that Yan is shifting the blame and keeping it to himself.

But in fact, Yan is accusing the village of cutting off the rights that originally belonged to the police department bit by bit.

From beginning to end, Uchiha was in a passive state.

"Yes."

"Wait a minute."

After Itachi saluted and was about to leave, Yan suddenly stopped him.

"Captain? Is there anything else?"

Itachi stopped, but Yan made a request that made him angry and speechless.

Stopping Itachi who was about to leave, Yan hooked his finger at him:

"Come on, smile, let me see."

Itachi: "......."

It can be seen that Itachi really wants to punch him, because his hands, no, fists are already clenched hard.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a pervert, and I don't mean anything else."

Yan smiled slightly, pointed to his face, and said:

"See? Do this, smile, don't learn from your father, who always has a stern face and no expression.

Now you are a member of the police department. If you want to do your best in this position, instead of being like other tribesmen, then you must know how to control and manage your emotions and expressions."

"Smiles can easily bring people closer. These are the things you need to learn, and people who smile on their faces but can be fierce in their bones are more dangerous."

A smile, and there are so many messed up principles mixed in it?

This is beyond Itachi's knowledge.

Because no one has ever asked him to do this before.

Since graduating from the Chunin Exam and leaving the ninja team, Itachi has smiled less and less.

Except when facing his mother, brother, and Shisui.

Others can only see a blank expression on Itachi's face.

"I know that the clan leader will always teach you in a very old-fashioned and strict way, and praise you, worthy of being my son. Remember, never learn from him.

Because a stern face is often not a good thing."

"It will only make people think that you have a bad temper and are difficult to get along with. Putting aside your identity, how many people dare to talk to the clan leader with his face?"

"If you want to take more responsibility for the family, your first lesson is to learn to smile, learn how to communicate with the clan members, and integrate into their circle."

"......."

Itachi: Can I not learn?

Itachi felt that Yan was making things difficult for himself.

"Clan leader, am I right?"

Yan suddenly looked up and asked the door.

"Father!"

Itachi was slightly startled when he heard this and looked back.

Fugaku, who had been at the door for a while, had an old face the same color as the bottom of a pot.

Yan's repeated words, "Don't learn from your father", made him feel very uncomfortable, not to mention that Yan kept complaining about him.

Especially the sentence, "You are worthy of being my son", which almost broke his defense.

Is the way I educate my children wrong?

Fugaku couldn't help but doubt himself.

"Ahem!!"

With a light cough, Fugaku pushed open the door, still with the same face, glaring at Yan without leaving a trace. Fugaku couldn't spoil it, so he could only say to Itachi:

"Since this is the request of the senior and the captain, then Itachi, you have to work hard to learn, understand?"

"Yes, father, I will work hard."

Itachi made up his mindShi straightened his back and answered loudly.

Yan had a strange look in his eyes, holding back his smile, and just looked at the father and son who had a very delicate relationship.

"Okay, you go down first."

"Father, senior."

After a formal salute, Itachi left and closed the door.

"What are you doing?"

As soon as his son left, Fugaku questioned with a sullen face:

"I asked you to merge with the team that Itachi was in, but I didn't ask you to teach my son how to become a person who smiles on the face but is fierce in the bones."

"Is it like you? With a sullen face, many tribesmen dare not speak to you easily when they have something to ask you. Is this the so-called majesty of the clan leader?"

"Come on, my great clan leader."

Fugaku with a sullen face looked scary, at least it could scare other Uchiha people, but it was a pity that this trick didn't work on Yan.

"........"

Fugaku, who was ridiculed, had a black line on his head.

Knowing that he couldn't win the argument with Yan, he stopped the topic.

"Tonight, I will hold another family meeting to continue discussing the rectification of the police department. You need to attend."

"No."

Yan refused decisively. He was not interested in such a dry grind.

Several hard-line elders refused to give in. They were worried that their rights would be deprived and had been hindering Fugaku from rectifying the police department.

You can imagine with your heels that the meeting was definitely a quarrel between Fugaku and several elders.

At most, people who supported Fugaku also joined in.

They quarreled and quarreled until their faces turned red, but the problem was not solved.

It's not that Yan likes to complain, but Uchiha Fugaku's performance at the critical moment was really disappointing.

Whether it was for the family or the village.

It's been a long time, and even several hard-line elders of the family have not been dealt with.

And this is just to rectify Uchiha, not to wipe out and disband the hard-line faction.

If it really comes to the time to take action against the hard-line faction, relying on his wavering personality, I'm afraid he won't be able to do anything.

It's bad enough that he's wavering himself, but he also restricts others from doing whatever they want.
