The Uchiha Clan's Sun

Minato Namikaze said he had discussed this matter privately with King Uchiha many times, but today is only Minato Namikaze's first day as Hokage!

Good grief, they've been suspecting Minato Namikaze is a black-hearted white lotus for a while now, deceiving them for so long.

Now, things have gotten even better. They're not even pretending anymore; they're playing their cards right, putting their close relationship with Uchiha Jin out in the open!

Seeing that no one raised any objections, Minato Namikaze smiled and continued, "Then let Elder Uchiha explain the details of the Konoha Police Department's reorganization!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room looked at Uchiha Jin, who in turn looked at Uchiha Yatsushiro not far away and gestured to him.

Uchiha Hachimoku nodded and got up to make preparations.

Uchiha Jin then looked at everyone and said, "Because the matter is very complicated, my Uchiha clan has made a PPT. Please wait a moment."

Chapter 315 Reform!

PPT?

what is that?

Everyone in the conference room was puzzled upon hearing this.

The ninja world doesn't actually have the concept of PowerPoint yet, but it does have computers.

With a computer, is it really that hard to create something similar to PowerPoint?

Anyway, Uchiha Jin felt it wasn't difficult, since he only explained the concept of a PowerPoint presentation to Uchiha Hachimoku, and the next day Uchiha Hachimoku brought out a sample for him to review.

After several revisions by Uchiha Jin, the ninja world finally had its own PowerPoint presentation software.

With the help of the Eighth Hokage and several other Uchiha clan members, a large enough screen and related projection equipment were set up in the conference room.

The large screen was hung on the wall at the far end of the conference room to ensure that everyone in the room could clearly see the projected content.

The people in the conference room only felt a sense of novelty towards these things, and did not find anything strange about them.

It must be said that people in the ninja world are very receptive to new things!

After everything was ready, Uchiha Yasuo dimmed the lights in the conference room, and Uchiha Jin pressed the start button on the remote control in his hand. Several large words immediately appeared on the big screen: Report on the Reorganization of Konoha Police Department, Speaker: Uchiha Jin.

"Ahem," Uchiha Jin coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention before speaking, "Actually, when the Konoha Police Department was first established, its function was to be fully responsible for the village's internal security and public order management. However, as more and more problems surfaced, the Konoha Police Department was overwhelmed, and the village had to establish other departments to solve the problems."

"For example, the barrier class, the torture department, the interrogation class, the analysis class, the dark department, and so on."

"Some of these departments are internal, some are external, some are for civilians, some are for ninjas, some are both internal and external, and some are both for civilians and ninjas. Their powers are too chaotic and there is a lot of overlap."

"This has indirectly led to some conflicting rules and regulations in the village!"

......

Everyone in the meeting room nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

They were aware of these things, but no one had paid attention to them before, so they gradually got used to it and no one brought it up anymore.

Uchiha Jin manipulated the slides to turn the pages, and continued, "To solve these problems and find solutions, we must first understand what components make up the security of the entire village!"

"First is public security management, which is related to the daily stability of the village. In the past, this has always been the responsibility of my Konoha Guard Department."

"But the scope of public security management should actually only include the management of criminal incidents such as fighting, murder, arson, and public disturbances. Things such as street vending, environmental sanitation, and village appearance maintenance should fall under the jurisdiction of urban management."

"The scope of urban management is not actually enough to endanger the safety of the village. These are all internal conflicts within the village, which should not fall under the jurisdiction of our Konoha Guard Department. They should be managed by the village administration or other relevant departments."

"In the past, the division wasn't so clear, so city management has always been handled by my Konoha Guard Department."

"In addition, the Barrier Team, the Interrogation Department, the Investigation Team, the Analysis Team, and the Torture Team should actually be subordinate to the Konoha Guard Department, but due to a series of historical issues, these departments have become independent!"

"Moreover, these departments operate both internally and externally, so while they hold a title, they cannot be used by the Konoha Police Department."

"Furthermore, the village's current administrative system is not yet well-organized; most departments operate independently, and people only contact whoever they need. This leads to the Konoha Guard and other departments handling matters in a very simplistic and violent manner!"

"Finally, it's the Anbu!"

"The Dark Division's authority is arguably the department with the most overlapping functions with other departments!"

"For example, the function of protecting the Hokage is almost rendered useless by the existence of the Anbu."

"For example, disputes within the village involving ninjas may involve spies from enemy villages, so they also fall under the jurisdiction of the Anbu. They also require the assistance of many departments such as the Analysis Team and the Interrogation Team, and their functions overlap with those of the Konoha Police Department!"

......

Uchiha Jin's words caused everyone in the conference room to fall into deep thought.

If Uchiha Jin hadn't pointed them out one by one, they wouldn't have discovered so many problems with the village's current administrative system.

However, a clever person like Nara Shikaku keenly noticed a special word in Uchiha Jin's words: 'systematization'!

After Uchiha Jin finished explaining the general situation, Nara Shikaku asked, "Elder Uchiha, you just mentioned the word 'systematization,' could you elaborate on that?"

Uchiha Jin glanced at Nara Shikaku with some surprise, then nodded and said, "Of course, that's what I'm going to emphasize next!"

"The so-called systematization has three aspects: structured integration, standardized construction, and dynamic evolution!"

"Simply put, it means breaking down a complex thing into countless details, then dividing these details according to certain standards, and finally assembling them in a certain order to form a complex but orderly whole!"

"This is a necessary step for the village to grow and thrive!"

"Let me reiterate, we are not a rabble from Juxiao Mountain. A chaotic administrative system like this is absolutely unacceptable!"

After a moment's thought, Nara Shikaku asked, "What does Elder Uchiha intend to do?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Uchiha Jin stated directly, "Dismantle and reorganize the village's existing departments! Build a completely new Konoha Village!"

Upon hearing this, many people in the conference room changed their expressions!

If the various departments in the village are to be reorganized and broken up, does that also mean that the positions in each department will be redistributed?

This affects the interests of many people!

However, there are many more people who haven't secured a spot and are eager to make their move!

Seeing this, Minato Namikaze added, "Of course, we also know the principle that haste makes waste. You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time!"

"Therefore, we have decided to put aside the administrative departments where the problems are less serious for the time being and instead focus on reforming the departments that have more serious problems and involve village safety!"

"This reform benefits the present and future generations; it is imperative!"

"Therefore, I hope everyone can put aside their prejudices and grudges and push this matter forward!"

No sooner had Minato Namikaze finished speaking than King Uchiha immediately chimed in, "Also, everyone can rest assured that after the reform, there will only be more positions available. People with similar experience will definitely be given priority in the recruitment process, so there's no need to worry about unemployment after the reform!"

Uchiha Jin's guarantee reassured everyone!

Chapter 316 Legislative Council! (Major Revision)

"We're not unwilling to reform, but we need to come up with a plan first so that everyone can see how we're going to reform."

Although Minato Namikaze and King Uchiha's words reassured everyone a lot, many doubts remained, so someone asked a question.

"This is exactly what I'm going to introduce to you all next." Uchiha Jin smiled, raised his hand in a gesture, and said, "Please look at the big screen!"

After a pause, once everyone's attention had turned to the big screen, Uchiha Jin used the remote control to turn a page of the PPT and said, "Since it was our Uchiha clan that first proposed the reform plan, then the reform should naturally start with the Konoha Police Department!"

...(Majorly revised, censored)

Meanwhile, inside a VIP ward at Konoha Hospital.

"Well......"

Hiruzen Sarutobi groggily opened his eyes, the dryness in his mouth making every breath feel unusually hot.

"Water...water..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi weakly uttered a few syllables, but it was all in vain.

At this moment, there was no one else in the ward except for him and the other two patients, Koharu and Mitokado.

After a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi gradually regained consciousness. Although his body was still in pain, he stopped making pointless struggles and simply waited quietly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi understood that, given his status and that of Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, it was impossible for no one to take care of them.

There's no one in the ward right now, which means the person taking care of them has gone out on business.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi had predicted, a while later, Asuma Sarutobi, reeking of smoke, pushed open the door to the ward and walked in.

"Old man, you're awake! Wait a minute, I'll go get the doctor right away!"

Sarutobi Asuma noticed that Sarutobi Hiruzen had woken up immediately, and then shouted and turned to leave the ward.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes as he could only watch the boisterous Asuma Sarutobi disappear from sight.

Before long, Sarutobi Asuma entered the ward with several doctors and nurses and began to perform various examinations on Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After a flurry of activity, once it was confirmed that Hiruzen Sarutobi was alright and only needed to continue resting, the doctors and nurses left the ward, leaving Asuma Sarutobi to take care of Hiruzen.

After Sarutobi Asuma fed Hiruzen a few spoonfuls of water, Hiruzen finally recovered completely.

"Your surgery was just completed early this morning, and the anesthesia is still working, so you feel a little weak. You'll feel better after resting for a while!"

Sarutobi Asuma looked at the weak Sarutobi Hiruzen on the bed and felt very complicated. Worried that Sarutobi Hiruzen might overthink things, he took the initiative to explain.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly and asked, "What about Lake Biwa?"

Sarutobi Asuma replied, "My mother stayed up all night, so I told her to go back and rest. She should be back by evening."

Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt much more at ease and asked, "What happened after I fainted? I think I saw Tsunade?"

Sarutobi Asuma said, "You read that right, it really is Lady Tsunade who has returned. She broke the Four Purple Sun Formation, but she was...suppressed by Shimura Danzo. In the end, it was only after the Uchiha clan head, Uchiha Jin, intervened that Shimura Danzo was subdued!"

After a pause, Sarutobi Asuma asked with some confusion, "Old man, what exactly happened? Why did you fight with Shimura Danzo? Weren't you two on good terms?"

The current Sarutobi Asuma is not the elite Jonin Sarutobi Asuma worth 30 million ryo in the future. He is still just a rebellious delinquent who has always been indifferent to the affairs of the village, especially those related to his Hokage father, so he is unaware of the inside story.

"Uchiha Jin...?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes flickered, and he murmured something under his breath, but he showed no intention of answering Asuma Sarutobi's question.

Sarutobi Asuma's face flashed with resentment upon seeing this; this was exactly what he hated most.

His father, Hiruzen Sarutobi, never treated him like an adult!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, not in the mood to care about Asuma Sarutobi's thoughts, asked again, "How are Koharu and En?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had already noticed that Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were lying on the hospital bed next to him, but he hadn't had a chance to ask them about it until now.

Although Sarutobi Asuma was displeased, he still spoke up for the sake of Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was still lying in a hospital bed: "Elder Mitomon Homura is fine. He is the one with the lightest injuries among you. He has already woken up once before."

"However, because he is about to undergo surgery, he is still under anesthesia and will probably not wake up for a while."

"But Elder Koharu Tsukai...her condition is the most serious!"

"Although Elder Utatane did not suffer any serious external injuries, her chakra was severely depleted, almost exhausting all of her life force!"

"If Lady Tsunade hadn't intervened and stabilized her condition, she would probably be dead by now!"

"Even if she's not dead now, her lifespan has been greatly reduced, and when she'll wake up is still unknown!"

Chakra, in a sense, is a manifestation of a person's body and spirit. When chakra is exhausted, it means that the strength of the spirit and body is exhausted, like a lamp running out of oil, which is extremely dangerous!

In the original storyline, Kakashi Hatake died because he ran out of chakra!

"Is that so..." Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was very complicated. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "What about Danzo Shimura? How is he now?"

Sarutobi Asuma retorted irritably, "You still have the nerve to care about him? You should know that you've all become like this because of him!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head slightly, saying meaningfully, "You don't understand. This matter is far more complicated than you think! Danzo Shimura and I may have both been...used!"

There is great terror between life and death!

At the moment when he thought he was about to die, Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind was clearer than ever before, and he noticed many details that he had not noticed before!

He felt that the reason he and Danzo Shimura had ended up like this was probably because they were deliberately manipulated!

As for who that person was... Hiruzen Sarutobi already had a target in mind.

However, now is not the time to settle scores with him. The most urgent task is to thoroughly sort out the current situation to prevent any omissions!

Sarutobi Asuma found it hard to believe. Could even an old man as cunning as a monkey be taken advantage of?

Doesn't that mean that person is even more cunning than a monkey?

......

While Hiruzen Sarutobi and Asuma Sarutobi were talking, in the Hokage Building conference room, King Uchiha was also coming to the end of his presentation on the specific reforms and began to discuss matters related to the Anbu.
