Wood Leaf Police Force Building.
After a morning of publicity, a large number of villagers gathered from all directions. Many of them were the family members of the deceased. Their eyes were red and they wanted to rush up and tear down the police force building!
As for the other villagers, their faces were also full of resentment. Their expressions were full of dissatisfaction with the police force.
Not long after, the patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Tian, walked out of the police force building step by step. His body was thin, his hair was gray, his face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were cloudy with a trace of sadness that could not be hidden.
Behind him was Uchiha Tomiyama. He had already learned about the crisis from the patriarch, so his expression was on point. There was a bit of determination and self-blame in his sadness, which perfectly explained what it meant to be an actor.
"Everyone …"
Uchiha Tian bowed 90 degrees, and only straightened up after half a minute. At this time, his eyes were red, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes along with his wrinkles. Looking at him made people feel sad.
"Everyone, I'm very sorry! Because of the incompetence of the police force, there were three deaths and fourteen injuries in this spy incident. The police force cannot shirk the responsibility, and will never shirk it! "
Uchiha Tian said with a painful expression, "We, the police force, will be responsible for all the losses in this incident!! The family members of the deceased, we will … "
Uchiha Tian explained the compensation plan that he had discussed with the three elders last night. At the same time, he tried to make himself look as pitiful and old as possible, but his tone was more sincere to win more sympathy and support from the villagers.
Although there were cries of the deceased family members from time to time, as well as voices mixed in the crowd trying to discredit them, there were also many villagers who kept nodding. The police force was responsible, and the police force did not have a bad conscience.
They were slowly persuaded by Uchiha Tian's speech, and their position gradually leaned towards the police force.
This was not the end. After Uchiha Tian's speech, he pushed out Uchiha Tomiyama, who caught the spy, and let him describe the process of catching the spy.
Uchiha Tomiyama took a step forward. His sorrowful face was filled with determination and self-reproach. Once again, he reminisced about the past. Then, he began to narrate with great emotion …
In the end, Uchiha Tomiyama said fiercely and gnashed his teeth that he would increase the patrols in the future and try his best to catch all the spies lurking in the village. At the same time, he called on the villagers to cooperate with the police force. If they found any suspicious people, they should contact the police force immediately.
Uchiha Tomiyama's expression and gaze were on point. Coupled with the suggestion of cooperation between the police and the people, he successfully captured the hearts of a large number of villagers.
When he finished his speech, the crowd immediately burst into a noisy discussion.
"The spies were all sent by other villages. After all, it's not all the responsibility of the police force."
"Although there were seventeen casualties, it is said that the spy was a Jonin. If it wasn't for Uchiha Tomiyama from the police force, there would have been more than a hundred casualties!"
"This time, the police force took the initiative to bear all the responsibilities and losses, which really surprised me."
"Humph, they just want to gain sympathy."
"What's the use of compensation? Can those dead people be resurrected? "
"In the future, if you see any suspicious people from other villages, you must report to the police force in time!"
All kinds of discussions spread in the crowd. Uchiha Tomiyama tried his best to distinguish these voices. Although many of them refused to forgive the police force, there were also a large number of villagers who stood on the side of the police force.
As long as the public opinion is not one-sided, the situation of the police force and even the Uchiha clan won't be so awkward!
Uchiha Tomiyama and Uchiha Tomiyama looked at each other and felt relieved.
… …
Naruto Building, Sarutobi's office.
Danzō Tomiyama was sitting opposite Sarutobi, drinking tea.
Next to him, an Anbu reported what happened in front of the police force building, including the speech of Uchiha Tomiyama and Uchiha Tomiyama and the reaction of the villagers.
After a while, Sarutobi waved his hand and let him go.
Danzō Tomiyama put down the teacup and looked at Sarutobi strangely, then he said: "Using a hypocritical speech to gain the sympathy and support of the villagers, the Uchiha clan is learning from you, Sarutobi."
"The police force took the initiative to take responsibility, whether it's sincere or not, we shouldn't continue to embarrass them." Sarutobi didn't seem to understand Danzō Tomiyama's eyes, he lit the pipe and smoked.
Danzō Tomiyama continued to tease him: "If we let the police force win the support of the villagers, maybe the next Naruto will be elected from the Uchiha clan."
Sarutobi looked at him and said: "I'm not old yet!"
"Is that so?"
Danzō Tomiyama's mouth twitched slightly: "But why do I see white hair on your head?"
Sarutobi frowned.
White hair, isn't it because he didn't sleep all night in the Mist Village?
"We argued for a long time yesterday, there was no result, Sarutobi, it's time to make a decision."
Danzō Tomiyama's eyes flashed.
After the outbreak of the war, the Wood Leaf stationed a large number of ninjas in the direction of the Earth and the Lightning to deter the two major countries. Now that the Mist Village has made it clear that they want to join the war, the Wood Leaf had no choice but to station ninjas in the coastal areas.
At this moment, the Wood Leaf only had two choices, one is to transfer the ninjas in the direction of the Earth and the Lightning, but this way, the power will be scattered, and it won't play a role in deterring the three major countries. Once the three major countries feel that the Wood Leaf has no ninjas, they will most likely launch an attack at the same time, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
The other choice is to transfer the ninjas of the Uchiha and the Hyuga clans.
After the war began, although these two clans also sent a lot of ninjas, most of them were Genin, they didn't release any of their core forces!
Therefore, transferring their strength is the best choice at the moment!
Danzō Tomiyama, Mitokado Homura, Koharu Utatane all supported the second choice, and so did Sarutobi.
The reason why he can't make up his mind is naturally because of his concerns!
The Uchiha and the Hyuga clans are both Wood Leaf clans, they have a reputation, but they don't have much power, but this time, if these two clans are released, it's equivalent to opening the prison of power.
The Hyuga Clan is better, the existence of the Caged Bird seems to make the Branch Family firmly revolve around the Main Family, but the Caged Bird not only limits the Byakugan's ability, but the Main Family can also directly destroy the Branch Family's brain through the Caged Bird. This kind of contradiction involving life and death is irreconcilable, so it's very difficult for the Hyuga Clan to unite and fight for power.
On the other hand, the Uchiha Clan is extremely united, especially the people in the police force, they are very united.
All of this is thanks to Nidaime Naruto.
The original intention of Nidaime Naruto establishing the police force is to give the Uchiha Clan something to do, and also to make it convenient to observe and monitor them, but the consequence of this is that the elites of the Uchiha Clan have a reason to stay together all day long!
For example, the members of the Sarutobi Clan are scattered all over the Shinobi World when they go out on missions, so they may not see each other for a long time. On the other hand, the members of the Uchiha Clan in the Police Force stay together from morning to night. They work together, patrol together, eat together, chat together, enjoy the glory together, and also bear the criticism of the villagers together. Over time, how strong would their unity be?
In terms of internal unity, in the entire Wood Leaf Clan, in addition to the Anbu, Root, and the Uchiha Clan's police force!
Fortunately, the name of the police force also firmly pressed the Uchiha Clan on the bench of power, if they want to go further, they will have to rebel, or … make a huge contribution!
And now, the opportunity is here.
Once the Uchiha Clan gets enough merits on the battlefield, their prestige and reputation is bound to rise to a new level!
At that time, the Uchiha Clan will have the unity of the police force on their left hand, and the huge prestige and the support of the villagers on their right hand. They will be able to seek greater power and more say in the Uchiha Clan!
For example, competing for the position of the fourth Naruto!
Although Sarutobi didn't have any malicious intentions, he really didn't want the fourth Naruto to be from the Uchiha Clan!
Danzō just said that the fourth Naruto was from the Uchiha Clan, he deliberately used this point to annoy Sarutobi.
Sarutobi looked deeply at Danzō, his eyes were uncertain.
In the face of Sarutobi's sharp eyes, Danzō didn't panic, he even wanted to laugh. There's no way, Sarutobi has no choice!
He can only let the Uchiha Clan go to the battlefield, watch them make contributions, watch them grow ambition, watch them jump up and down, and then Danzō can jump out and clean up their mess!
Danzō took a sip of tea: Wow, this is really the wisdom of the Wood Leaf!
After looking at it for a long time, Sarutobi finally nodded!
