Chapter 36 Uchiha Itachi: Sure enough, complaining in person is the most deadly!
After Izumi left, Hiko asked Itachi who was standing in front of his desk:
"You should know the reason why these people came to Konoha, right?"
"I know, I came here to plot the assassination of the Daimyo.
Itachi answered truthfully.
"So, tell me, what are the responsibilities of the police department?"
"Maintain law and order in the village, and..."
The Third Hokage once said that although Itachi is a child, he is the child whose thoughts are closest to those of Hokage, which means that he is very smart.
On the contrary, the smarter the person, the more he knows and the more things he cares about.
Facing Yan's question, Itachi got stuck.
Because of the original intention of the establishment of the police department, in addition to maintaining public security in the village, it also needs to participate in a series of important and dangerous tasks such as arresting spies and criminals.
However, as the Third Hokage and others began to become more wary of Uchiha, Uchiha was left with the responsibility of maintaining law and order.
Don’t even think about other tasks and rights.
"Remember, the current responsibility of the police department is to maintain public security in the village, and we are left with the right to maintain public security. The rest is powerless.
As for why it has developed to this point, you should understand in your heart.
Okay, let's go back. As long as these people don't make trouble or do other extraordinary things, you don't need to worry about them. "
"Konoha welcomes tourists and businessmen from any area to come and do business."
"As for what you said, the police department has no authority to deal with it. This is the responsibility of the ANBU."
It seems as if Yan is shirking blame and ignoring the matter as it has nothing to do with him.
But in fact, Zeyan was 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 moment."
After Itachi saluted, he was about to leave when Yan suddenly stopped him.
"Captain? Is there anything else?"
Itachi stopped, but he didn't expect Yan to make a request that made him angry and speechless.
Stopping Itachi who was about to leave, Yan pointed his finger at Gou Gou:
"Come on, smile and let me see."
Itachi: "......"
It was obvious that Itachi wanted to punch him, because his hands, no, his fists were already clenched hard.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a pervert, and I don't mean anything else."
Yan smiled slightly, pointed at his face, and said:
"Did you see that? You should be like this, smile, don't imitate your father, who always has a straight face and is expressionless.
Now you are a member of the police department. If you want to do your best in this position and not be like other people, then you must know how to control and manage your emotions and expressions. "
"Smiling can easily bring you closer to others. These are things you need to learn. People who smile on their faces but are ruthless at heart are even more dangerous."
A smile, and there are so many messy truths mixed in it?
This was beyond Itachi's knowledge.
Because no one had ever asked him to do this before.
Ever since he graduated from the chuunin examination and left his ninja team, the smile on Itachi's face has disappeared a lot.
In addition to facing his mother, younger brother, and Shisui.
Others could only see a blank expression on Itachi's face.
"I know that the patriarch will always teach you in a rigid and stern way, and praise you, you are worthy of being my son. Remember, never imitate him.
Because keeping a straight face is not a good thing in many cases. "
"It will only make people think that you have a bad temper and are difficult to get along with. Regardless of your identity, how many people dare to talk to him with the face of the patriarch?"
"If you want to take on more responsibilities for your family, your first lesson is to learn to smile, learn how to communicate with the tribe, and integrate into their circle."
"...."
Itachi: Can I not learn?
Itachi felt that Yan was making things difficult for him.
"Clan leader, am I right?"
Yan suddenly raised his head and asked towards the door.
"Father!"
Hearing this, Itachi was slightly startled and looked back.
Fugaku, who had been at the door for a while, had a face about the same color as the bottom of the pot.
Yan's words, don't imitate your father, made him feel very uncomfortable, not to mention that Yan kept complaining about him.
Especially that sentence, as expected of my son, I almost broke his guard.
Is the way I educate my children wrong?
Fugaku couldn't help but doubt himself.
"Ahem!!"
With a slight cough, Fugaku opened the door. He still had the same face and glared at Hiko without leaving any trace. Fugaku couldn't help but say to Itachi:
"Since this is the request of senior and captain, then Itachi, you have to study hard, do you understand?"
"Yes, Father, I will try my best."
Itachi subconsciously straightened his back and answered loudly.
Yan had strange eyes and was holding back a smile as he looked at the father and son, who had a very delicate relationship with each other.
"Okay, you go down first."
"Father, senior."
After bowing solemnly, Itachi left, closing the door behind him.
"What are you doing?"
As soon as his son left, Fugaku asked with a downcast face:
"I asked you to annex the team with Itachi, but I didn't ask you to teach my son how to become a person with a smile on his face but a ruthless person in his heart."
"Is it like you? With a slumped face, many clan members don't dare to speak to you easily. Is this the so-called majesty of the clan leader?"
"Come on, my great patriarch."
Fugaku with his face straddled looks very scary, at least it can scare the other Uchiha people, but unfortunately this trick is useless against Hiko.
"..."
Fugaku, who was complained about, had black lines all over his head.
Knowing that he couldn't speak, he stopped the topic.
"Tonight, I will hold a family meeting again to continue discussing the rectification of the police department. You need to attend."
"Not going."
Yan decisively refused. He was not interested in this kind of grinding thing.
A few hard-line elders refused to let go, fearing that their rights would be deprived, and had been obstructing Fugaku from reorganizing the police department.
You can tell with your heels that the meeting was definitely a quarrel between Fugaku and a few elders.
At most, people who support Fugaku also join in.
They made a lot of noise and made their faces red and thick, but the problem was not solved.
It's not that Yan likes to complain, but Uchiha Fugaku's performance is really disappointing at critical moments.
Whether it's for the family or the village.
How long has it been since this happened? Even the hard-line elders in the family haven't figured it out yet.
And this is just to straighten out the Uchiha, not to smooth out and disband the hardliners.
If it comes time to take action against the hard-liners, I'm afraid even Mao won't be able to do it just because of his swinging temperament.
He just sways left and right, and restricts others from messing around.
