Hyuga Officers
Just as Natsuki thought.
The security situation in Konoha these days is not very good
There are no major conflicts, and no one cares about minor frictions.
Fortunately, the third Hokage ordered the ANBU to patrol the village, otherwise there might have been a big mess.
There are no more complaints from the villagers, but people come every day to ask when more officers will be deployed.
Helpless, those merchants had no choice but to send all their complaints to the Hokage.
Although not everyone can see him, these villagers have lived in Konoha for a long time. There are more people, and therefore most of the complaints have gotten to the ears of the Hokage.
The third Hokage had no choice but to try their best to urge the Hyuga clan to take over.
Under the urging of the third Hokage, the Hyuga clan moved ahead two days. On the sixth day, the police officers were finally in place.
However, the officers available were still not as much as the Uchiha clan.
The Hyuga clan has the Byakugan that can observe and Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven that can block chakra pathways. They are also good members of the security team.
Sure enough, as soon as they took office, the public security environment improved instantly.
The person in charge of the officers was Hyuga Hizashi, and the security team are all members of the Hyuga clan.
Hizashi learned from the faults of the Uchiha's, so all members of Hyuga's security team must enforce the law gently and not let the villagers complain.
The Hyuga branch family has always been fighting on the front line, and they all have caged birds carved on their heads.
Although they were born as Hyuga, they is not noble at all, but rather approachable.
Therefore, most disputes among residents are mainly based on admonishment.
When the residents saw that the noble Hyuga family was so easy to talk to, they all praised them.
"The Hinata clan is indeed reliable."
"Much better than the Uchiha clan."
"If you ask me, they should have been made officers force a long time ago."
Natsuki and Itachi were walking on the street. Itachi had resigned from the position of ANBU.
Natsuki plans to interact more with Itachi. He will be very powerful in the future, but his illness requires a solution.
Fugaku wanted Itachi to get closer to Natsuki, and Itachi also admired Natsuki's mind. They both wanted to see how the villagers would react after Uchiha gradually withdrew from the police force.
"Itachi, what do you think our clan lacks?"
Natsuki said while observing the streets of Konoha. Konoha was said to be a village, but the scale was far from what a village should be.
Judging from the size of the streets, the permanent population is at least hundreds of thousands. No wonder Uchiha was obsessed with seizing it before.
It's a pity that the future changes in the ninja world cannot be changed by hundreds of thousands of ordinary people.
After all, without high-end combat power, Konoha is already strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
The high-pressure policy has always made the people of the Hokage government not trust the Uchiha family at all.
Not to mention the position of Hokage, even the position of advisor elder was not given to Uchiha.
No wonder they were so resentful.
In the past, the more unwilling the Hokage was to delegate power, the more tightly Uchiha tightened the guard. Moreover, during the Kyuubi period, it was clearly an order from the top to keep Uchiha from participating in the battle.
In the end, it became the reason for the villagers' suspicion.
Regarding the direction of public opinion, it is difficult to tell whether the Hokage was causing trouble. I just don't know whether this person is Danzo or the third Hokage.
Itachi thought seriously: "Deputy leader, I think it's a sense of identity."
Natsuki waved his hand: "Just call me senpai."
"Identity huh? how many jounin do we have in the clan? How many are there in Konoha?"
In Konoha, the total number of registered Jonin is only about two hundred.
A jounin can lead three to five teams of four in normal times, and even more in wartime, so the weight of a jounin is particularly heavy.
But in the guard force, a Jonin Uchiha is just a squad leader.
There are more than thirty such jounin captains in the guard team.
"We Uchiha have more Jonin than other ninja clans, but they are all concentrated in the police force."
"As long as they are in the police force, it is impossible for them to be recognized. They can only lose their spirit in the trivial things every day."
"We are strong ourselves, why do we need recognition from others?"
Itachi nodded thoughtfully.
"I heard that the Hyuga clan are doing very well now and there are very few complaints. What do you think, senpai?" Itachi thought for a while and looked towards the street.
Natsuki felt much more comfortable when he heard Itachi just changed his title to senpai.
Fugaku gave him the position of deputy clan leader on a whim, which always made Natsuki feel weird.
Natsuki also followed his gaze and looked over,
There were two members of the Hyuga family's security team over there, dealing with a dispute.
After a while.
"Are there really few complaints?"
The corners of his mouth curled up: "The job of a police officer is not that easy."
Sure enough, the conflict there escalated.
The voices of the two people being adjusted became louder: "Who are you to interfere with my business? My wife is from the Yamanaka clan."
"So what about the Yamanaka clan? My surname is Shimura, do you understand? I am a clan member of the consultant elder Shimura Danzo..."
The two Hyuga clan members were caught in the middle. They were not human beings inside and outside, and they were not human beings even if they were caught.
"Sir, it's obvious that you were wrong first, and others were just forced to fight back." Hyuga Aikawa explained patiently.
After all, Hizashi had ordered not to arrest anyone unless the situation was particularly serious.
"You are just a member of the Hyuga branch, a branch member at that, and you still dare to interfere in my affairs here."
The man was drunk and punched and kicked Hinata Aikawa who held him, but the words he said were extremely heart-wrenching.
Aikawa's expression suddenly changed. This was an insult. For the branch family, this was the tabooest.
So he put his fingers together and touched the drunk man's body.
The drunkard's acupuncture points were tapped, and he immediately fell to the ground, his face smashed on the ground, his nose bleeding violently, and he cried: "You are violently enforcing the law, I want to file a complaint against you!"
Aikawa's face was ashen as he watched the villagers next to him pointing at him.
He quickly grabbed his teammates and took the drunken man away.
Itachi watched this scene from the side and felt that it seemed familiar.
Because he often saw Shisui encounter this kind of thing, and he always took the initiative to apologize and reconcile.
As a result, some people in the clan were dissatisfied with Shisui.
Most of the merchants here are related to major families.
Every time there was a conflict, they would come out and threaten.
Therefore, Uchiha is often caught in the middle and has difficulty being a human being.
We can only make peace with each other, but many Uchiha are very emotional.
Now that all these things have been left to the Hyuga clan, it seems that the Hyuga family is not as good as us Uchiha.
Itachi admired Natsuki even more.
Too many people in clan have encountered this kind of thing, but they have never been used to these people.
Because of the Uchiha's arrogance, they never bother to make excuses with you. They always enforces the law impartially, arresting and imprisoning those who should.
Over the years, Uchiha has become accustomed to this kind of work process.
And this is also the second Hokage's Tobirama's plan. If you want to enforce the law impartially, you will inevitably offend the villager. If you offend the villagers, you will naturally not be able to win the Hokage's vote of confidence.
So the Uchiha's could never hope to get the Hokage position.
Otherwise, based on Fugaku's contribution in the Third Ninja War, even if not being the Hokage, it should be possible to be an advisory elder.
