“However, wouldn’t that be too many? While Senju Tobirama can’t openly refuse our increase in numbers, what if he insists there are too many and refuses to approve the funding?” Uchiha Feng inquired.
“If he truly disagrees, then we’ll openly opt for a two-shift system, giving him an out,” Uchiha Tenxiu said, waving his hand, completely unconcerned about Senju Tobirama’s disagreement. “This way, we can at least double the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force’s manpower.”
“Of course, to ensure the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force’s operations are unaffected, we’ll still implement a three-shift system. However, one of those shifts will be paid for by the Uchiha Clan ourselves. This small amount of money shouldn’t be an issue for the Uchiha Clan, right?” Uchiha Tenxiu said, looking at the Great Elder and asking for his opinion.
“The Uchiha Clan can afford this small sum. Being able to embed more people in the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force is more beneficial for the Uchiha Clan’s control over Konoha. That’s what’s most important,” Uchiha Feng stated firmly.
“In that case, the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force will have a total of 210 members. If possible, one of the shifts can be outsourced as a mission, either to clan members, Ninja from clans close to the Uchiha Clan, or even civilian Ninja. In short, we can release some positions to win over people’s hearts.”
“After all, with little work, good pay, and proximity to home, if they don’t do it, plenty of others will. The Uchiha Clan is never short of people!”
As Uchiha Tenxiu said this, he couldn’t help but sigh. The Uchiha Clan in the original story was so useless, holding such great power, yet they were still played to their demise by Senju Tobirama.
Speaking of which, Senju Tobirama also had a limited perspective. Although he saw that these managers in the Ninja World were reviled and ostracized by everyone, he didn’t realize that the essence of so-called managers was the greatest fulcrum of collective power.
If he hadn't had other ambitions.
Just with the Uchiha Police Force alone.
He could have easily forced Senju Tobirama into a frenzy, leaving him no choice but to resort to force to resolve conflicts.
Fortunately, Uchiha Tenxiu, having done this much for the Uchiha Clan, could be considered to have repaid his gratitude to the Uchiha Clan.
As for the rest, if they still couldn't outplay the Senju Clan.
Then don't blame Uchiha Tenxiu for being ungrateful.
There was still a path to survival left for them.
As for anything more, don't even think about it.
Unless, it was those clan members who left with him, only then could they enjoy unique, superior treatment.
“As for those who remain in Konoha! Let them cause trouble for Konoha, let Konoha consume itself in internal strife!”
Uchiha Tenxiu thought contentedly, arranging various plans for the Uchiha Clan’s Uchiha Clan Military Police Force members remaining in Konoha.
Then, Uchiha Tenxiu discussed with everyone the Uchiha Police Force's salary and benefits, working hours, daily holidays, various Konoha management regulations, punishment severity, and the handling of cases caught by the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force.
After a round of discussions, everyone present had a rough outline of the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force.
Among them, the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force was divided into three shifts.
These three shifts were managed by the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force Captain-General and two Vice Captain-Generals, each overseeing one shift.
The first shift's working hours were from 8 AM to 4 PM, the second shift's from 4 PM to 12 AM, and the third shift's from 12 AM to 8 AM. Meal times were rotated, so while the work hours were compressed, more free time was added outside of work.
This was beneficial for those who wanted to improve themselves, allowing them more time for training and other activities.
There was also no need to worry that long periods of peaceful work without time for exercise and training would lead to a decrease in the clan members' strength.
Later.
Considering the survival needs of Konoha's hundreds of thousands of people, in addition to the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force headquarters beneath the Hokage Rock, three branch offices would also be established in the east, west, and south directions of Konoha. This would ensure sufficient patrol coverage for the vast Konoha Village.
Moreover, with one headquarters and three branch offices, each shift of 70 people could be divided into sixteen-person teams. The remaining four people would form the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force Captain-General’s personal guards, ready to receive orders at any time.
And after the Great Elder Uchiha Feng took the position of Uchiha Clan Military Police Force Captain-General, the remaining eight elders each divided the 64-person team, with each elder getting two small teams. Not to mention, this was just one shift. If you include the other two shifts, the personnel would triple.
That is, six small teams, totaling 24 people.
Even Uchiha Tenxiu could embed twenty-four people in this newly established Uchiha Police Force.
With the insertion of his trusted subordinates from Uchiha Raimon, it would certainly contribute to his future extraction of resources from Konoha.
“I just hope Konoha’s ability to generate resources is strong enough, otherwise, draining it won’t be exciting!” Uchiha Tenxiu had a look of joy. With so many key personnel in the Konoha Uchiha Clan Military Police Force under his control, what defensive capabilities could Konoha possibly have left?
Finally, there was the prison takeover.
At this moment, the Konoha Prison indeed existed. Before this, as the Uchiha Police Force had not yet been established, the administrative management of the entire Konoha Village was in utter chaos. All sorts of criminals, big and small, were continuously crammed into the prison like a tide, and the sheer number of people involved was astounding. Not only that, these criminals also implicated many innocent people, causing the Anbu members responsible for their capture to be heavily criticized and even verbally abused.
To make matters worse, every few days, some troublesome villagers from Konoha would go to the Hokage Office to inquire about information and complain to the Hokage. Among these people, some were clan uncles of the Senju Clan, while others were relatives like great-aunts or great-uncles from the Sarutobi Clan or other clans, all of whom had status.
Almost every criminal was often connected to the relatives of certain individuals, which gave Senju Tobirama a huge headache.
Especially when clan uncles of the Senju Clan appeared among these people, Senju Tobirama felt his head swell even more. He was known for being strict, cold, and ruthless, but facing the entanglement and wailing of these relatives, he had to suppress his inner irritation and send them away with a smile.
It can be said that Senju Tobirama had long been tired of the Konoha Prison, this hot potato of a department, and wished he could kick it away immediately. So, when the Uchiha Clan took over the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force, the prison was conveniently thrown their way.
The other Uchiha elders were unwilling to accept this prison. They naturally saw that the prison was a quagmire; whoever got involved would have their reputation ruined and be entangled in all sorts of troubles.
Still harboring illusions of becoming Hokage and hoping to seize all of Konoha's power to eventually become Hokage, they did not want to tarnish their reputations, so they all refused.
Unfortunately, Senju Tobirama forcefully thrust it upon them, using the reason that the prison and the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force were one entity.
However, even though the prison was forcibly given to the Uchiha Clan by Senju Tobirama, none of the elders wanted to manage this Konoha Prison, constantly trying to shirk responsibility.
To this, Uchiha Tenxiu felt that if it was accepted, then it was accepted. Anyway, judging by the various methods the other party used against the Uchiha Clan, the Uchiha Clan's reputation in this Village of Konoha couldn't possibly be good, so since their reputation was already bad.
Might as well just do what needs to be done.
What’s more, they want to be Hokage and don’t want to get a bad reputation, but I don’t want to be Hokage. If I can gain more power, then gaining more power is a good thing!
And, this prison thing, it seems to be very profitable!
Uchiha Tenxiu, who never thought he had too much money, thought for a moment and, in the eyes of everyone’s disdain, said, “In that case, leave it to me!”
Facing everyone's doubts, Uchiha Tenxiu directly used the reason that he did not want to be Hokage, telling the elders that if there was an opportunity to contend for Hokage in the future, he would hand it all over to the elders and their descendants, and he would support them unconditionally.
