I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 45 represents Orochimaru.

Konoha West Street, Police Precinct.

In the spacious and bright office, looking out over the large building through the bright glass, Uchiha Yoru suddenly revealed a hint of desire for power.

The police department has nine squads, and the squad responsible for the village has a staff of two hundred, which means that Uchiha Yoru can recruit two hundred subordinates.

"Brother Ye."

As the deputy captain of the squad, Shisui has clearly been in low spirits lately; the experiences of this period have been too much of a shock for him.

Orochimaru returned to Konoha full of enthusiasm, expecting to become the Fifth Hokage, but he was disappointed. In addition, he had been responsible for helping to deal with the affairs of Root, and had been exposed to the darkness within the village, which was a serious blow.

Meanwhile, sitting in the squad leader's seat, Uchiha Yoru looked at Shisui's dejected appearance and couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.

"Shisui, look at yourself now! You've been so devastated by this little thing? You're supposed to be the pride of the Uchiha clan."

At this point, Uchiha Yoru nodded solemnly with a determined look, saying, "Shisui, you must believe in the Will of Fire, believe in the Third Hokage. Everything will be alright when Orochimaru becomes the Fifth Hokage."

After being comforted, Uchiha Shisui forced a smile. Looking at the guiding light in his life, he couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of Brother Ye, always so composed, always so confident."

"Brother Ye, congratulations on becoming a Jonin and taking over the Seventh Division of the Police Department."

Good! As Uchiha Yoru was appointed as the captain of the 7th Squad, the Uchiha clan also submitted an application to the village. After all, they couldn't let a squad leader remain a Chunin, could they?

As for contributions, he assisted Orochimaru in handling political affairs on the front lines. In the hands of politicians, this achievement is enough to be embellished. If he were an ordinary ninja, he wouldn't even need to think about it.

Seeing Shisui's forced smile, Uchiha Yoru shook his head and sighed, "Shisui, we have a long way to go. Right now, the branch only has about thirty members. We need to fill the gap in the Seventh Division as quickly as possible."

"yes!"

The two are now in a superior-subordinate relationship. Although Shisui is stronger, he admires Uchiha Yoru more. Therefore, he has no complaints about becoming the vice-captain of the Seventh Division. On the contrary, he is very pleased.

"Brother Ye, recruitment has already begun, and the review process should be completed in three days at most."

Ninjas are an extremely efficient species, after all, they were trained as weapons from the very beginning.

Furthermore, the police department is not entirely composed of Uchiha members; it also includes civilian ninjas, after all, it is a department.

Although the police department is practically the Uchiha's private armed force, if the police department only recruited members of their own clan, not to mention whether there would be enough people, the Uchiha would have been isolated long ago.

The Uchiha clan was truly isolated by the other clans of Konoha after the Nine-Tails incident, since before that the Uchiha had always been in the center of the village.

Furthermore, the police department also needs public attention, such as keeping the Hokage, the person in power, informed of its movements. Similarly, the Uchiha clan needs civilian ninjas as cannon fodder, or rather, as tools in their hands.

The Uchiha clan merely controls all the real power in the police department. At the same time, the ninjas in the clan also need to communicate with the village. Half of the ninjas will form ninja teams with others to carry out missions. The other powerful clans are the same.

Seeing Shisui's expression, Uchiha Yoru narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "Shisui, this time remember to focus on bringing Orochimaru's followers here. Also, from now on, the Seventh Police Division will no longer represent the Uchiha, but will also represent Orochimaru."

At this point, Uchiha Yoru took out a list from the side, focusing on the list of the Hyuga clan.

"The Seventh Police Squad is still short one of its two deputy captains. I think the Hyuga family is a perfect fit. Remember to ask them what they think."

"Remember, there are also the various clans in the village, such as Inuzuka and Aburame. No matter what decisions the major clans make, there is one thing: this time we represent Orochimaru-sensei, not the Uchiha. So you must understand the importance of the Seventh Police Division."

After hearing this, Shisui looked up and saw Uchiha Yoru rubbing his brows wearily, his face full of exhaustion. This sight made him feel even more guilty, as if the heavy responsibility of the clan had fallen on Yoru's shoulders.

"Brother Ye, if this happens, the Seventh Squad will probably become a sieve with holes everywhere."

Although Uchiha Shisui was powerful, it was obvious that he was lacking in political acumen. He had made his point so clear, yet the other party still didn't understand.

Looking up at Zhishui, whose face showed worry, he gave a wry smile, rubbed his brow, sighed, and shook his head to explain.

"Shisui, your strength is worthy of being called the number one genius of the Uchiha clan, but you are still too inexperienced in politics. You are the future of the clan, and you need to think more carefully about politics."

"The Seventh Division of the Police Department was essentially handed over to Orochimaru-sensei by the clan. Therefore, the Seventh Division no longer obeys the Police Department, nor the Uchiha clan, but Orochimaru-sensei! The future Fifth Hokage!"

At this point, Uchiha Yoru gave him a knowing look, while Shisui clearly only vaguely understood.

"I understand what you're saying, Brother Ye. This is a gesture from the family."

It was obvious that Shisui only understood the surface meaning. The Seventh Police Division was indeed a pledge of allegiance to the Uchiha clan, but it was different in Orochimaru's hands. It was no longer a simple private armed force, but represented Orochimaru's small political clique, who was very likely to become the Fifth Hokage.

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru shook his head. He finally understood why Shisui in the original story was so distraught that he jumped off a waterfall to commit suicide. It was all because of his personality and his political acumen.

"The Seventh Police Division represents Orochimaru-sensei. If the various clans in the village are willing to send ninjas to join, it represents Orochimaru-sensei's power."

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru made it clear that he had instigated the whole thing, and that the Uchiha clan was happy to see it happen.

The 7th Division was given by the Uchiha clan, and this squad recruited people from various clans, not because they wanted elites, but because they wanted an attitude. Orochimaru wanted to see the attitude of the various clans in the village.

It's hard to say who will become the Fifth Hokage, but Orochimaru certainly has the best chance. Otherwise, he wouldn't have failed to choose a Hokage for two or three years after the Nine-Tails' attack in the original story, which ultimately led to Orochimaru's defection.

It goes without saying that Orochimaru's inability to become Hokage was due, aside from the opinions of certain high-ranking officials, primarily to Danzo and the Third Hokage.

If Danzo still wanted to become Hokage, he would never agree to the emergence of such a young and uncontrollable Hokage.

The Third Hokage's lack of interest likely stemmed from the fact that Orochimaru had already gone astray in his mind.

As for the Sarutobi clan and other families behind them, they were simply going with the flow and didn't want their own interests to be harmed.
