After Izumi left, Yen asked Itachi, who was standing in front of the desk:
"You should know the cause of these people coming to Konoha, right?"
"I do. They came for the premeditated assassination of the Daimyo."
Itachi answered truthfully.
"So, tell me, what is the duty of the police department?"
"To maintain the village's order, and..."
The Third Hokage once said that although Itachi is a child, he is a child whose thoughts are closest to the Hokage, which means he is very smart.
Conversely, the smarter a person is, the more they know, and the more things they care about.
Faced with Yan's question, Itachi was stumped.
Because the original intention of the establishment of the police department, in addition to maintaining the village's order, also needs to participate in the capture of spies, criminals, and a series of important and dangerous tasks.
However, as the Third Hokage and others began to raise their vigilance against the Uchiha, the Uchiha were left with only the duty of maintaining order.
Don't even think about other tasks and rights.
"Remember, the current duty of the police department is to maintain the village's order. We also only have the right to maintain order. As for the rest, we are powerless.
As for why it has developed to this point, you should understand in your heart.
Alright, go back. As long as these people don't gather and make trouble, or do other outrageous actions, you don't need to manage them."
"Konoha welcomes tourists and merchants from any region to come and play, to do business."
"As for what you said, the police department has no power to manage, this is the responsibility of the Anbu."
It seems that Yan is shirking responsibility, and it doesn't matter to him.
But in fact, Yan is complaining, complaining that the village has cut off the rights originally belonging to the police department bit by bit.
From beginning to end, the Uchiha were in a passive state.
"Yes."
"Wait a minute."
After Itachi saluted and prepared to leave, Yan suddenly stopped him.
"Captain? Is there anything else?"
Itachi stopped, but didn't expect Yan to make a request that made him angry and speechless.
Stopping Itachi who was about to leave, Yan beckoned:
"Come, smile, let me see."
Itachi: "...."
It can be seen that Itachi really wants to punch him, because both hands, no, the fists are already clenched.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not a pervert, and I don't mean anything else."
Yan smiled slightly, pointed at his own face, and said:
"Do you see it? Like this, smile, don't learn from your dad, always with a straight face, expressionless.
Now you are a member of the police department. If you want to do your best in this position, instead of being like other clan members, then you need to learn to control and manage your emotions and expressions."
"A smile can easily narrow the relationship with people. These are things you need to learn. And people who can smile on their faces but be ruthless in their bones are more dangerous."
A smile, and so many messy truths mixed in?
This has exceeded Itachi's knowledge range.
Because no one has ever asked him to do this before.
Since graduating from the Chunin Exam and leaving his ninja team, Itachi's smile has been much less.
Except when facing his mother, brother, and Shisui.
Others can only see an expressionless face on Itachi.
"I know, the clan leader will always teach you very rigidly and strictly, and praise you, worthy of being my son, remember, never, never learn from him.
Because having a straight face is not a good thing at many times."
"It will only make people feel that you have a bad temper and are not easy to get along with. Apart from the identity, how many people dare to talk to the clan leader with that face?"
"If you want to take on more responsibilities for the clan, your first lesson is to learn to smile, learn how to communicate with the clan, and integrate into their circle."
"...."
Itachi: Can I not learn?
Itachi felt that Yan was making things difficult for him.
"Clan leader, am I right?"
Yan suddenly looked up and asked towards the door.
"Father!"
Upon hearing this, Itachi was slightly startled and looked back.
Fugaku, who had been at the door for a while, had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Yan's words, telling him not to learn from his father, made him very uncomfortable, not to mention that Yan had been mocking him all along.
Especially that sentence, "You are indeed my son," almost broke his defense.
Could it be that my way of educating my child is wrong?
Fugaku couldn't help but doubt himself.
"Cough, cough!!"
With a light cough, Fugaku pushed open the door, his face still the same, he gave Yan a traceless glare. Fugaku wasn't good at tearing down the stage, so he could only say to Itachi:
"Since this is the request of the senior and the team leader, then Itachi, you have to study hard, understand?"
"Yes, Father, I will work hard."
Itachi subconsciously straightened his waist and answered loudly.
Yan had a strange look in his eyes, holding back his laughter, just watching this father and son pair with a very subtle relationship.
"Alright, you can go first."
"Yes Father, senior.
After saluting in a formal manner, Itachi left and closed the door behind him.
"What are you doing?"
As soon as his son left, Fugaku frowned and asked:
"I asked you to merge and lead Itachi's team, but I didn't ask you to teach my son how to become a person who smiles on the surface but is ruthless inside."
"Like you? With a stern face, many clan members dare not speak up easily, is this the so-called clan leader's majesty?"
"Enough, my great clan leader."
Fugaku, with a stern face, looked very scary, at least enough to scare other Uchiha people, but this trick didn't work on Yan.
"....."
Fugaku, who was being mocked, had a full head of black lines.
Knowing that he couldn't argue with Yan, he stopped this topic.
"Tonight, I will hold another clan meeting to continue discussing the reorganization of the police department, you need to attend."
"I won't go."
Yan decisively refused, he wasn't interested in this kind of grinding matter.
A few hard-line elders, holding on tightly and refusing to let go, worried about the deprivation of power, have been hindering Fugaku's reorganization of the police department.
Anyone could guess that the meeting would definitely be a quarrel between Fugaku and a few elders.
At most, those who support Fugaku would also join in.
Arguing and making a fuss, arguing until their faces were red and their necks were thick, but the problem was not solved.
It's not that Yan likes to mock, but that Uchiha Fugaku's performance at critical moments is really disappointing.
Whether it's for the clan or for the village.
How long has it been, and he hasn't even settled a few hard-line elders of the clan.
And this is just reorganizing the Uchiha, not wiping out and disbanding the hard-liners.
If it really comes to dealing with the hard-liners, relying on his wavering character, he probably won't be able to do anything.
He himself is wavering, but he also restricts others from messing around.
