Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

Chapter 75 Hokage and Fugaku, Uchiha Return to the Battlefield (6/10)

Konoha Prison, death row.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, carrying a Kusagakure ninja who looked like a dead dog, chatted casually with Fugaku Uchiha: "Fugaku, you guys did a good job."

"According to Sakumo, they cooperated very well with the patrol forces and the ANBU, managing to trap all the Kusagakure outside the village without letting a single one escape—"

Fugaku Uchiha smiled awkwardly: "These are trivial matters, things we should do, not worth your fuss about—"

They are from the Uchiha clan!

Fighting on the battlefield is what they should be doing.

Patrolling the village was already a waste of talent, and now with the addition of patrol units and the strengthened Anbu, the Konoha police force is practically becoming a sinecure.

I brew tea every day and drink it all day long.

Other ninja clans might be able to accept it, but the restless genes in the Uchiha clan's bloodline made them always unwilling to be confined to a village.

Even if it's not about killing people, just going out for a run and having some fun would be fine, right? Of course, being able to kill people would be the best—

"What, you have a request?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile, "Just say what you want! We're all from the same village, there's nothing we can't say."

"I just wanted to tell the Third Hokage that the Konoha Police Department can also go to the battlefield—" Fugaku hesitated for a moment, but still brought it up with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Uchiha Isshin had actually told him not to say such things.

The original purpose of establishing the Konoha Police Force was to prevent the Uchiha clan from going to the battlefield; this fundamental principle was established by Tobirama Senju.

Unless it reaches the point where no one in Konoha can take over, Hiruzen Sarutobi will not make any rash changes.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was the Third Hokage and also a student of Tobirama Senju.

How could one possibly jeopardize their own teacher's core principles?

But Fugaku Uchiha had a different idea.

He felt that Hiruzen Sarutobi was not what Isshin had described, and that he was actually a very kind-hearted Hokage.

The so-called principle is to judge actions, not intentions.

Regardless of whether it was to split the Uchiha clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi did take care of some Uchiha who couldn't go to the front lines, allowing them to regain their dignity and sense of purpose.

Fugaku still remembers.

When Uncle Yan, also known as Uchiha En, as a squad leader in the patrol unit, captured a Kusagakure ninja, the proud expression on his face...

This was something he hadn't shown for many years while he was unemployed.

So, if Hiruzen Sarutobi truly considered the Uchiha clan as his own, then he should have considered the plight of the elderly Uchiha and the Konoha Police Department, right?

This was also a test by Fugaku Uchiha against Hiruzen Sarutobi.

If he refuses, then perhaps it really is as Uchiha Isshin said: he just wants to split the Uchiha clan.

"Go to the battlefield?" Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded thoughtfully, but did not continue.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

Fugaku's heart sank slightly.

Could it really be as Chief Yixin said?

"As soon as this topic is brought up, Hiruzen Sarutobi will definitely deflect it and unleash a Bagua Sixty-Four Palms attack."

Just as Uchiha Fugaku was showing slight disappointment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly said, "No problem, Fugaku."

"You're also one of the Konoha committee members, so I'm letting you know in advance."

"In the near future, Konoha will be conducting a special military operation. The personnel required are elite soldiers who cannot excessively disrupt the village's daily security—"

"Is the Konoha Police Department facing any difficulties?"

Fugaku Uchiha was taken aback for a moment, then instinctively replied, "No problem, Hokage-sama!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, I look forward to seeing how the Uchiha clan performs!"

It was a while after Hiruzen Sarutobi left that Fugaku slowly came to his senses.

The third generation wasn't thinking about how to shirk responsibility, but rather was seriously considering it—

They even gave a definite answer!

Furthermore, what does it mean to "list yourself as a member of the Konoha Committee"?

This is so embarrassing!

Fugaku Uchiha scratched his head, but couldn't help but grin.

As a father, he naturally hoped his son could grow up in a peaceful environment.

Therefore, at this moment, he naturally hoped that the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Konoha leadership could be eased.

Becoming a member of the Konoha Committee is naturally an even greater honor.

There was a great deal of discussion about this matter within the Uchiha clan, with everyone debating who would be elected to the council and whether anyone from the clan would be able to secure a seat.

Unexpectedly, Sarutobi—no, the Third Hokage—actually gave it to him, and to him no less!

I wonder if there are any other people?

"If the Third Generation only gave it to me, that wouldn't be right, but who can say for sure?"

"In short, I've agreed to let the Uchiha clan go to the battlefield. I need to report to Clan Chief Isshin right away—" Uchiha Fugaku strode out of the death row cell. As he walked, he noticed that a grass ninja seemed to move slightly and let out a painful groan.

"Hmph, if the analysis team hadn't been operating at their limit, I would have killed you scum by now!" Fugaku Uchiha suddenly had three tomoe appear in his eyes and cast a genjutsu on the grass ninja.

He knew that these grass ninjas had even set their sights on the Uchiha!

The most despicable thing is that they dare not attack the Uchiha clan members with Sharingan, but only kidnap the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled.

A sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions or reflections) swept through Fugaku Uchiha's heart.

The patrol force wasn't established solely to target the Uchiha clan—

Each grass ninja can only extract a limited amount of information.

If it weren't for the combined efforts of the patrol force, the ANBU, and the police, who systematically captured an elite Kusagakure squad, they wouldn't have been able to gather so much intelligence about Kusagakure.

"The Third Lord is also very angry—"

"He personally interrogated the grass ninja instead of having the ANBU arrest him; he's a man of principle!" Fugaku Uchiha thought to himself.

And 100 meters underground from the basement of Hokage Rock.

Inside Tobirama Senju's secret laboratory.

Hiruzen Sarutobi carried the unconscious Kusanagi ninja, along with the research findings of Hiruko and Orochimaru, and Kakuzu's exquisite Earth Grudge Fear—

The complex sealing technique was broken, and we entered this place.

The conversation with Fugaku was also part of the preparations for Tobirama Senju's resurrection.

Uchiha Isshin was considered a somewhat troublesome opponent by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

If Tobirama Senju was brought back entirely by the Konoha leadership—

There was a slight possibility that he might become suspicious, although Hiruzen Sarutobi believed in Tobirama-sensei's abilities and thought that making him completely outmaneuvered shouldn't be a problem—

But if you're going to do something, you should do it to the best of your ability.

Having the Uchiha clan participate in the discovery of Tobirama-sensei would be irrefutable proof!

And considering all this, it is actually a subtle way of telling Tobirama Senju that he has been the Hokage for more than 20 years.

I manage everything in Konoha very well; I can do some things that you couldn't do before.

Although you are my teacher, the Hokage of Konoha—

It's me now!
