“What Tenxiu Elder said is true. Instead of fighting over this small Uchiha Clan Military Police Force, which Senju Tobirama gave us, it's better to expand it and divide it equally.” The new second elder, Utchiha Feiniao, said with approval.
He didn't look down on Uchiha Tenxiu because of his young age; on the contrary, he enthusiastically approached him.
Clearly, he knew whose efforts allowed him to cross social strata and become an elder.
It could be said that regardless of the past, in the future, he would be the only one in the Uchiha Clan to inherit an elder position, bypassing the actual descendants of the Uchiha elders.
In the days to come, only the descendants of the elders would be able to continue as elders, not others.
Therefore, Utchiha Feiniao, who knew that he had risen to prominence in one fell swoop, benefiting all his relatives and friends, naturally felt grateful to Uchiha Tenxiu, the man behind the scenes. Without Uchiha Tenxiu's plan, the current second elder would still be Uchiha Ming, and there would be no chance for him, Utchiha Feiniao, to become a Clan elder.
So, as soon as Uchiha Tenxiu spoke, he immediately supported him, regardless of anything else.
This made Uchiha Tenxiu look at him in a new light.
Although Utchiha Feiniao was from Uchiha Ming's lineage, he did not possess the latter's attitude of endlessly fawning over Senju Tobirama. Rather, it was precisely because his heart was with the Uchiha Clan that he gained everyone's support, bypassing Uchiha Jing, the traitor's son, to become the new elder of the Uchiha Clan.
“This Utchiha Feiniao is very perceptive. In the future, he can be brought closer. Since both of them have just risen to power, if they unite, their say will be greater.”
Uchiha Tenxiu thought to himself.
Then, he began to speak of his own suggestions.
As Uchiha Tenxiu expanded the Uchiha Police Force and offered sufficiently reasonable suggestions, the elders all felt that Uchiha Tenxiu's intelligence surpassed theirs in understanding the intricacies of the situation. Among them, the great elder Uchiha Feng even stood up directly and said, “I see! No one here can match Tenxiu’s wisdom. We thought for a long time and still couldn't grasp the crucial point, constantly fighting over this small team of seventy people. Now I understand, this Uchiha Clan Military Police Force was deliberately set up by Senju Tobirama for us to contend over, and our Uchiha Clan will sooner or later fall into internal strife because of it!”
“It’s a good thing Tenxiu spoke up, otherwise, I think in a little while, everyone’s tempers would have flared up!”
Uchiha Feng sighed, seeing everyone instantly sober up and their expressions turn sour. He then handed over the allocation of the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force to Uchiha Tenxiu to decide.
“Since that’s the case, I shall offer my humble opinion!” Uchiha Tenxiu slowly stood up and began to allocate the benefits of the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force.
“The Uchiha Clan Military Police Force Captain needs to be a person of high moral standing and exceptional vision. In our Uchiha Clan, no one can fill this role except for you, Great Elder. I’ll trouble you with the position of Uchiha Clan Military Police Force Captain.” Uchiha Tenxiu said, unhesitatingly handing the position of Captain of this Uchiha Clan Military Police Force to the Great Elder, Uchiha Feng. The other party had once been a key supporter of his faction, so reciprocating by giving him the highest authority in the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force was not excessive, and it also allowed others to see his generosity.
What's more, he wouldn't be able to get it anyway.
It's better to let the person who can get it be someone friendly to his faction.
Great Elder Uchiha Feng was naturally the most suitable.
Not only was his strength outstanding, but he had also never retreated in upholding the overall interests of the Uchiha Clan. He could serve as a facade, letting the outside world know that the Uchiha Clan was very stable.
“Among them, two Vice Captains can be set up to serve as your deputies, Great Elder, and manage both day and night!” At this point, a smile appeared on Uchiha Tenxiu’s face.
“This way, the power of the Uchiha Police Force is invisibly doubled. After all, according to Senju Tobirama, one squad is enough for the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force to maintain Konoha’s public order, but that’s only for daytime patrols. Who says they can’t patrol at night? I believe that our Konoha Ninja Village, responsible for the safety of the entire Land of Fire, in such an important position, will definitely attract spies from enemy nations and hostile Ninja to cause trouble. And compared to openly stealing intelligence during the day, they will definitely act at night!”
Uchiha Tenxiu said with conviction, and the eyes of the eight elders beside him lit up.
Listen.
What is a genius?
This is what you call a genius.
He easily resolved the elders' endless disputes over interests and effortlessly expanded the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force.
This reason was put forward.
Even Senju Tobirama couldn't find an excuse to refuse.
After all, all of this was openly for the safety of Konoha Ninja Village, and this Uchiha Clan Military Police Force was originally entirely managed by the Uchiha Clan. So, with a suitable reason for expansion, Senju Tobirama could not openly obstruct it.
At this moment, Great Elder Uchiha Feng almost jumped up and clapped his hands in applause: “Wonderful, wonderful! This way, even Senju Tobirama won’t be able to find any fault. Who says our Uchiha Clan Military Police Force can’t work at night? At night, we must also be responsible for Konoha’s safety. This way, the original seventy people can be expanded to at least one hundred and forty!”
“Hmm, good, this way, each elder can get a share!” The ninth elder, Uchiha Enmon, his eyes lit up with joy. This way, even he could get a considerable number of personnel in this Uchiha Clan Military Police Force.
The rest of the elders also nodded in praise.
Uchiha Tenxiu continued, “Besides these patrol personnel, the headquarters also needs people to be stationed, such as personnel responsible for statistics, financial management, and receiving reports. There must be at least two to four squads of logistics personnel. After all, our Uchiha Clan only excels in combat and is not good at communicating and resolving conflicts with others. These people must exist for the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force to be fully established.”
“This is an increase of four more squads!” Uchiha Liu said with delight.
“Secondly, the Konoha Uchiha Clan Military Police Force must have night personnel arrangements, and they must focus on patrolling various areas of Konoha Ninja Village at night!” At this point, Uchiha Tenxiu couldn't help but mourn for the dark actions hidden within Konoha in later generations. With the diligent work of the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force, the illegal activities of Root and Anbu in later generations would surely become the fuse for conflict between the two sides, making the Uchiha Clan and Konoha like fire and water.
This way, he would have an opportunity to exploit.
Uchiha Tenxiu felt smug in his heart and continued to speak earnestly, “Considering that people get tired, and generally, the time when they are energetic enough to work diligently, I think 24 hours a day, two shifts rotating is too tiring. Basically, one shift would be responsible for 12 hours, which easily leads to negligence and mistakes. I think we should divide the day into three shifts.”
“This way, with eight hours per shift, the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force can patrol in three shifts. Such patrolling can best ensure diligence, and naturally, it also triples the manpower.”
After Uchiha Tenxiu said this, he had already used sufficiently appropriate excuses to triple the number in one go.
“Good, good, excellent!” Everyone agreed.
“Now, it has gone from one hundred and forty people to two hundred and ten people. With so many people, we will definitely be able to control all the powers, big and small, in the entire Konoha Village, completely surpassing other clans and becoming the number one clan in Konoha.”
“…”
