Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

Fifteen minutes before the meeting was scheduled to begin, the meeting room was almost full.

The Third Generation Elder and the other two elders arrived early and took their seats in the elders' seat.

There was no way around it; the news of Danzo's capture that morning had greatly upset the two elders.

To avoid unnecessary targeting, they were very sensible.

At this moment, the meeting room was almost silent, with only a few Jonin occasionally talking quietly, but they would quickly stop.

Inside the meeting room, only two seats remained.

That belongs to Haneda and Kakashi.

With three minutes to go before the meeting was scheduled to begin, Minato glanced around the room and, seeing that almost everyone was present, said apologetically:

"I'm sorry I'm late and have kept everyone in suspense."

Hearing the familiar gentle voice, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The third generation smiled and said:

"It's not time yet, Minato."

"Haha, I see..."

Minato scratched the back of his head and glanced around the conference room.

He felt a pang of nostalgia when he discovered that only Haneda and Kakashi's seats were still empty.

His beloved student, Obito, was always late.

Although he always used helping an elderly woman as an excuse...

Minato shook his head as he recalled his investigation into the real reason for Obito's lateness.

Obito was genuinely kind-hearted in helping the old lady, so we can't blame him.

When everyone in the conference room saw that Minato hadn't spoken for a long time, they knew that they were waiting for Haneda and Kakashi to arrive.

The other Jonin also waited patiently.

There was no other way; Haneda and Minato were sworn brothers.

Kakashi was Minato's student, so they couldn't be blamed.

Da da da……

The footsteps drew closer.

Haneda and Kakashi entered the conference room right on time, when the clock struck the appointed moment.

"I'm sorry, Minato-senpai (teacher), I've lost my way in life."

Haneda and Kakashi said in unison.

…………

Chapter 181 The Irreconcilable Conflict Between Konoha and the Uchiha!

"The timing was just right, I wasn't late."

Minato smiled.

As most people in the meeting room expected, Watergate didn't take this to heart.

Haneda and Kakashi sat in different places; one was with the Uchiha clan, and the other was with the Hatake clan.

Soon, the two parted ways.

After Haneda and Kakashi were seated, Minato began today's meeting.

As a first-time Hokage, he was not yet fully capable of handling the village's political affairs and the relationships between the various ninja villages.

Since assuming the position of Hokage this morning, he has spent the time consulting with the Third Hokage and asking questions of older or more representative people.

As is customary for a ninja, Minato would first identify the problem and then try to find a solution.

The same applies to village administration.

cough cough...

Minato coughed a few times, indicating that he was about to speak.

“These past few days, and throughout the years since I graduated from the Ninja Academy, I’ve been thinking about some things.”

"It's about the village, about the ninja world, it's all mixed up, a lot..."

"I read many books, trying to find the answer, but the books only contained theories, not practical examples."

"Let me start with the problems I investigated among the villagers."

"Most ordinary people have a dislike for the Uchiha, thinking that the Uchiha are high and mighty, arrogant and disrespectful to them."

"This situation exists even among ninjas at the ninja academy..."

When Minato used the Uchiha clan as an example first, everyone was quite confused.

Logically speaking, as the Hokage strongly supported by the Uchiha clan, Minato should at least have received some benefits, right?

Why is the first thing to do in a meeting to target the Uchiha clan?

The reason Minato mentioned the Uchiha clan first was because he wanted to improve the relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan.

Most of the Uchiha he knew were kind-hearted, but a bit expressionless and arrogant.

There wasn't much arrogance or haughtiness, as the villagers described.

Minato wanted to change this mindset and truly integrate the Uchiha clan into the village.

Therefore, he raised this question precisely to solve it.

“I was looking through the files at noon and saw a lot of complaints from villagers about the police team.”

“We receive these kinds of complaints almost every day.”

"Most of them are about police brutality and non-compliance with regulations."

"Fugaku, is there something more to this than meets the eye?"

Minato looked up at Fugaku as he finished speaking.

As the head of the Uchiha clan, he probably knows the inside story, right?

Minato has a general understanding of the villagers' demands. Next, he will learn about the Uchiha's demands in order to find a balance between them.

Inside the meeting room, everyone looked at Fugaku.

But the Uchiha were different; they looked at Minato instead.

They didn't understand what Watergate meant by asking that question.

Should we target the Uchiha clan?

Once you've used them, you sever ties?

In a sense, Fugaku was similar to Minato in that he served for a short period of time.

He didn't have a particularly deep understanding of the police force, and he relied on the council of elders to solve many problems.

Fugaku did know something about the villagers' complaints.

However, this problem already existed when his father was still alive.

He had long been used to it and didn't take it seriously.

Fugaku knew that Minato would never make things difficult for the Uchiha.

But at this moment, Minato asked him a question, and he wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain it!

Fugaku subconsciously looked at Haneda.

cough cough...

Let's leave this to my sworn brother!

Fugaku kept glancing at Haneda, frantically sending him meaningful glances.

Seeing this, Haneda smiled helplessly.

He didn't know much about the police force either.

But Haneda knew what the general cause of this law enforcement problem was.

“Senior Minato, forceful law enforcement is necessary.”

"The authority of the law must be established, otherwise it cannot deter criminals."

"As for systemic issues, some people commit crimes but don't admit it. They get punished, but they're still unhappy, so they report it."

"Our police force can't do anything about this kind of unreasonable behavior."

Haneda spread his hands and said.

Upon hearing this, Minato pondered for a moment and concluded that Haneda's words made sense.

Law enforcement must be serious, as for violence...
