Chapter 53: Support is unnecessary, unity bears the brunt
The tavern was quiet. The owner left immediately after preparing some snacks to go with the wine. There were only a few squad captains from the police department in the tavern.
"Yan!"
Seeing Yan coming, everyone stood up.
But when they saw Itachi behind Yan, their expressions changed slightly.
Yan took the initiative to explain:
"Itachi can be trusted. Just treat him as one of my own. If he does something to betray everyone, you can come to me."
"Seniors."
After Itachi saluted everyone, the look in Yan Yan's eyes was a bit strange, but also mixed with a hint of emotion.
"Hahaha, we are all members of the clan, we can definitely trust each other. Sit down quickly, it's just you two."
With Yan's guarantee, others were willing to believe Itachi and believed that he would not go and tell the truth.
If Itachi really did this, they believed that Yan would handle the matter personally and give them an explanation.
As soon as the two sat down, Yan poured two glasses of wine and pushed them over.
Itachi looked at the cup in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"Senior, I'm not an adult yet."
The people who can sit here are not too young. Yan was originally the youngest, but after Itachi came, he was at the bottom.
"It doesn't matter, just treat it as an early experience."
Patting Itachi on the shoulder, Yan picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He choked a little and the taste was not that good.
Itachi fell into a tangle, and he didn't even notice that he had been tangled several times since he came out with Yan.
The atmosphere has reached this point, everyone is looking at themselves.
With Yan taking the lead, Itachi, who was also underage, had no choice but to follow suit.
"Ahem!!!"
It's just that he choked on his wine.
"Hahaha, it seems Itachi still needs some exercise. How can a man not drink? Although you are still a boy."
"Yes, I need to exercise. When I was the same age as him, I stole the wine my father had hidden and drank, and I got beaten up."
They were all on their own, and as they drank a glass of wine, the atmosphere became lively.
Itachi, whose face was a little red, felt a little out of place.
Thinking of Yan's teachings, he could only try to force out the smile he thought was most appropriate.
The good atmosphere did not last long. When the topic shifted to today's matter, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared.
"The patriarch...sigh."
Not to mention others, Yan Du, as a supporter of the neutral faction, felt disappointed and helpless.
How many times has this happened?
"Damn it, we have obviously worked hard and handled various security cases, why are you targeting us like this?"
"The villagers don't understand us, and the village targets us. Are we Uchiha born to be treated unfairly?"
"The most annoying thing is that we know who is targeting us, but we have no way to fight back or retaliate."
Being targeted?
It's not a big deal, Uchiha has faced so few targets in countless years?
The worst case scenario would be to start a war, with everyone carrying knives and fighting.
Not many Uchiha people were afraid of death, but they couldn't bear the grievances of being beaten and unable to reach out, and being scolded and unable to retaliate.
"Yan, please explain to everyone."
After drinking several glasses of wine, Yan, whose face began to turn red, placed the glass heavily on the table:
"I know you have something in mind. In the entire family, only Uchihahiko currently dares to speak and act. We are all willing to believe you and accept your arrangement.
As long as you can make everyone vent their anger. "
Long-term suppression, repeated disappointments and frustrations have caused everyone to no longer care about factional issues.
Hard-liners, centrists, and even the remaining doves all participated.
The atmosphere is almost perfect.
Yan twirled the wine glass in his hand, put it down, glanced at everyone's face, and asked the same thing:
"I asked this to Itachi just now, and I'll repeat it now."
"Can I trust you and trust you?"
What does this mean?
Is this asking them to change their stance?
The people present have their own factions in the family, and issues involving factions cannot be decided easily, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Itachi, who was a little confused, opened his mouth to explain:
"The captain does not want everyone to support him and be loyal to him, but he wants everyone to put aside their family factions and unite as one."
Scared me.
As long as it's not about changing factions, everything else is easy to talk about.
Yan was the first to express his position:
"As long as it doesn't involve factional issues within the family, I will support you, unless you, Uchihahiko, want to lead us against the higher-ups!"
"Yes, count me in!!"
"Count me in, I can't stand it for a long time. These bastards bully others too much."
"very good."
After getting everyone's approval, Yan showed a satisfied smile.
He never thought about asking the people with real power in the police department to give up their faction at this time, because it was simply unrealistic.
He just needs to unite everyone through this incident, put aside internal factional issues, and deal with the outside world unanimously.
Yan believes that if this happens once, it will happen again.
Over time, once everyone gets used to this cooperation model, the so-called faction issue will be bullshit.
Everyone was willing to believe him and follow him, and Yan also took out the valuable information.
“The biggest problem we have, apart from the clan leader’s reluctance to fight back, is that we cannot directly retaliate because the other party’s identity is very sensitive.
Even though he is no longer the Hokage's assistant. "
"He can directly target us, but our revenge cannot be directed at him. He can arbitrarily smear our Uchiha's reputation, but we cannot smear him."
This is the biggest problem with identity.
If you want to directly smear Danzo, you can only do it unless Uchiha openly challenges the village, or someone from Uchiha joins the top management, and his status cannot be lower than Danzo.
Clearly, neither path is currently viable.
You can't openly challenge the village. This is the bottom line.
Similarly, it is even more difficult for people from the Uchiha clan to enter the upper echelons.
"Then we can't just do nothing, right?"
Yan's words were like a bucket of cold water, cooling everyone down. This won't work, that won't work either, let's just sit here and dry our hair!
It's better to go home and sleep.
Otherwise tomorrow will be another day full of frustration.
The tribesmen were anxious.
Yan then placed the files he brought on the table.
"Konoha population data?"
Everyone was speechless when they saw what Yan took out. Is this what you said?
Everyone took off their pants, and then you pulled out this thing.
Not to mention others, even Itachi had a bit of disappointment in his eyes.
"What's Danzo's name?"
Yan asked as he patted the things on the table.
"Of course my name is Shimura Danzo, but I can also call her..."
Yan replied angrily, but before he finished speaking, he was stunned.
