All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

However, after yesterday's brainstorming session, they learned to view Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions from a higher perspective.

It turns out that this is practically handing over all the risks to the Uchiha clan, so it's only right that they do their job well.

If they don't do well, the Uchiha clan's reputation, which had finally improved thanks to Elephant-kun's achievements, will plummet again.

The wickedness of his intentions sent chills down the spines of both Fugaku and Shisui!

Is this still the same Hiruzen Sarutobi who was once the great, glorious, and righteous Third Hokage in everyone's hearts, the one who proclaimed the inexhaustible Will of Fire of Konoha?

"It's too late to find someone else at the last minute. Fugaku, this job is in your hands."

"I believe that if it were you, you would definitely minimize the risks to public opinion!"

Fugaku and Shisui, looking dazed, left the Hokage's office. They looked up at the sky, then exchanged a glance, as if they had been separated by time.

The sky was overcast, the rising sun obscured by a thick, impenetrable cloud.

This seems to indicate that the future of the Uchiha clan is uncertain!

They already understood the Hokage's thoughts:

The Konoha Uchiha clan, who held the upper hand in the Fourth Shinobi World War, received the Kumogakure delegation. Given the Uchiha clan's arrogance, they would likely look down on these "peace seekers" who had come so eagerly.

The barbarians of Kumogakure, who have always dreamed of competing with Konoha for the title of the strongest ninja in the world, would not tolerate such humiliation and would inevitably clash with Uchiha Daisuke.

When the time comes, the Third Hokage will reappear, punish the Uchiha who caused the trouble, and quell the anger of the Cloud Village.

While demonstrating their stance, they also showcased the splendor of Konoha, forcing Kumogakure, which had always enjoyed comparing itself to Konoha, to relinquish the initiative in negotiations.

This is killing two birds with one stone: it damages the Uchiha clan's reputation while simultaneously gaining the upper hand in negotiations with Kumogakure.

Sacrifice the Uchiha clan, and bring happiness to countless families!

But on what grounds?

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression gradually turned cold, and he tapped on the table.

"Lord Hokage."

A member of the Anbu responsible for the Hokage's security suddenly appeared, knelt on one knee before Hiruzen Sarutobi, and awaited orders.

“Something must have happened at the Uchiha clan gathering yesterday.”

"Go and find out what exactly is making our Minister of Security so capricious."

"At the same time, investigate the movements of Uchiha Zō!"

"Hey!"

"Also, don't let people who shouldn't know about this find out."

"Hey!"

……

"Xiang, can we really join the garrison?"

Matt Shane scratched the back of his head, somewhat incredulous.

Hyuga Rin, standing beside him, looked up, equally puzzled, at Uchiha Sō who had summoned them.

"Don't you believe me? Look at who's in charge of the Konoha Police Department now."

Kazuko Uzumaki and Karin entered Konoha with the members of the Heavenly Court's Commerce Department and began to cooperate with Uchiha Igaku in carrying out the reform of the Security Department.

With some free time, Uchiha Sho naturally thought of his two good teammates.

How could they possibly forget about something that could openly improve their status and treatment?

Moreover, he considered that the Uchiha-dominated security department had suddenly started recruiting other people, even temporary workers.

Those with official positions, as well as other ninja clans and civilian ninjas in Konoha, will definitely observe for a while.

This could hinder the reform of the security department. If Hiruzen Sarutobi realizes this and intervenes, it could greatly slow down the progress of his plan.

His choice to launch the security department reform at this time coincided perfectly with the crucial moment when the Cloud Village delegation arrived for negotiations just before the end of the Third Shinobi World War.

Since the Third Hokage entrusted the reception and security of the Kumogakure delegation entirely to the Security Department, no one could stop Uchiha Sō from making some changes under the pretext of insufficient manpower in the Security Department.

However, as the saying goes, delay can lead to unforeseen changes.

Once the Cloud Village delegation's negotiations concluded, the core of the Security Department reform—bringing in other ninja clans and civilian ninjas to "share" the Security Department's "power"—was not achieved.

Later, Hiruzen Sarutobi realized Uchiha Zou's "sinister intentions," and that he would secretly "threaten" others, which would give him a headache.

Now, Uchiha Sho, in his capacity as the vice minister of the Konoha Police Department, has arranged for two of his former teammates to join the department as squad leaders, effectively breaking the Uchiha's monopoly on the department.

What's even more interesting is that the other ninjas who aspire to join the Security Department can immediately tell that these two have "backers" within the Security Department.

As long as I join the Security Department and get closer to them, I won't be afraid of being bullied by the Uchiha members of the Security Department.

Their backgrounds can also play a significant role.

One of them comes from the Hyuga clan, the second most powerful clan in Konoha, and represents the Konoha ninja clans.

One of them is a relative of Might Guy, a long-time genin of Konoha, representing commoner ninjas.

This means that all the ninjas in Konoha have their own "backers" who band together.

In addition, Uchiha Sō planned to use the "family business" that the Heavenly Court's Commerce Department had acquired in Konoha during the war to provide some benefits for the regular employees of the Security Department.

It is believed that soon a large number of ninjas who are "living a hard life" will be willing to work for the Security Department.

As long as the security force develops well enough and recruits enough ninja clans and civilian ninjas, the Konoha Security Force will become bigger and stronger!

At that time, it's uncertain who will be in charge of Konoha!

We must grasp both aspects firmly!

Tsunade wants to pursue, and the Hokage wants to compete.

However, if it really comes to the last resort, it is not impossible to use force to send the Third Hokage off the stage and allow him to leave office with dignity.

I hope Hiruzen Sarutobi won't be ungrateful and make a fool of himself.

Chapter 37, Clash with Hyuga

"If Xiangshan joins the garrison, that's fine. But if I join the garrison, I'm afraid the clan..."

Hinata Rin really wants to join the security department so that she can openly spend more time with Ezora.

However, she feared that her identity as a member of the Hyuga branch family would cause trouble for Uchiha Zō.

"Rin, don't worry. The Hyuga clan's rules can't possibly be greater than Konoha's rules. Besides, the Hyuga clan would be more than happy to have you join the Konoha Police Force."

Uchiha Sō was well aware of Hyuga Rin's concerns, but he had already considered them.

"It just so happens that I am planning to personally visit the Hyuga clan today to discuss with the clan head, Hyuga Hiashi, the issue of the Hyuga clan's cooperation in joining the Konoha security work."

"elephant……"

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Rin was deeply moved. She believed that Uchiha Sō was willing to share the power of the Security Department with the Hyuga clan for her sake.

While Uchiha Eizo did do this partly because of his teammate Hyuga Rin, the Hyuga clan is currently the second most powerful clan in Konoha after the Uchiha.

In the original work, it's hard to say that Hinata Hyuga's status was a factor in her becoming the Crown Princess.

After all, after the Uchiha clan was wiped out, the Hyuga clan became the true number one clan in Konoha.

Unlike the Uchiha, they were not ostracized by the other villagers of Konoha.

"Brother Xiang, the Hyuga clan has accepted the invitation."

The door to the Minister of Security's office suddenly opened from the outside, and a head popped in. It was Uchiha Igaku, who was in charge of the Security Department's reform.

"Let's go, let's pay a visit to the second most powerful family in Konoha..."

The gates of the Hyuga clan's territory gleamed with a cold white light in the sunlight, and two branch family ninjas with bandages wrapped around their foreheads stood like two statues on either side.

Uchiha Sho's long black hair swayed gently in the wind, and the armband of the deputy head of the security department gleamed with a dark red luster in the sunlight.

"Vice Minister Uchiha Sō, the clan head is already waiting in the inner room."

One of the branch family ninjas bowed his head in greeting, but when he looked up, he quickly glanced at Hyuga Rin standing behind Uchiha Sō, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Hinata Rin's fingers unconsciously tightened around the hem of her clothes.

As a member of a branch family, this was the first time she had entered the main family's gate with dignity as a "guest".

What made her heart race even faster was the back of the man beside her—tall and straight like a pine tree, yet exuding a chilling aura of danger.

"Relax."

Uchiha Xiang suddenly turned his head, a half-smile curving his lips.

"After today, the Hyuga clan will be begging you to come back and visit often."

The Japanese-style sliding door to the inner room slowly opened, and Hyuga Hiashi sat in the main seat, with Hyuga Hizashi, the head of the branch family, beside him.

What made Uchiha Sho raise an eyebrow was that there were actually five clan elders sitting on both sides—it looked like they were about to judge some criminal.

"Chief of the Sun Foot Clan."

Uchiha Xiang gave a casual bow, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"It seems the Hyuga clan values ​​this meeting very much?"

Hiashi Hyuga nodded slightly.

"The deputy minister of the garrison has come from afar, so we cannot neglect him."

His gaze lingered on Hinata Rin for a moment.

"Ling is back too."

Just as Hyuga Rin was about to bow, Uchiha Sho suddenly reached out and pressed down on her shoulder.

"Ling is now my special assistant, here on behalf of the Security Department to record the contents of the meeting."

He deliberately emphasized the words "special assistant," and watched with satisfaction as the elders' expressions changed slightly.

"Vice Minister Uchiha."

The old man sitting second from the right suddenly spoke, his eyes sharp as a hawk's beneath his gray eyebrows.

"I am Hyuga Ichiro. I've heard you intend to involve the Hyuga clan in the security department's work?"
