The legend of Fifth Uchiha - Chapter 15

Chapter 15 Fugaku’s Mind

Fugaku understands the aspirations of the Third Generation’s goals, just like the root organization that the Third Generation once supported.

The ninja clan and some prestigious ninjas were very wary of the Root Organization. As for those forces that were repeatedly attacked by the Root Organization, they were even more terrified.

The villagers may not be able to understand the cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness of the Root Organization’s ninjas, but the major ninja clans and those who know the Root Organization can hardly hide their fear.

After his rise to prominence, the Root leader Danzo has gone underground, with power nominally taken back by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In fact, the Anbu training class is used to train Root ninjas in a more cruel way.

Uchiha Fugaku frowned when he heard the Third Generation’s words. Although he missed the care of the Third Generation when he was a child at first, the Konoha Guard Force was the Uchiha’s forbidden territory.

Fugaku somewhat resented Sarutobi Hiruzen’s meddling and attention in the affairs of the security forces.

Fugaku felt a little heavy about Sarutobi Hiruzen’s appreciation and favor.

At the same time, Fugaku also knew clearly that he could not decide the affairs of the security forces.

“Hokage, it might be better if you convey these words to the captain of the guard, Sanzo. Fugaku is a weak person and I’m afraid he can’t lead the affairs of the guard.”

After thinking for a while, Fugaku decided to kick the ball away. Fugaku felt a little pressured by Sarutobi Hiruzen’s support.

“Hahaha, Fugaku, you are indeed a good ninja who respects his superiors and cares for his colleagues. It’s a pity that I was too busy with work to express my opinion on the election of the Uchiha clan leader. I should have supported you at that time.”

Third Generation blew out a smoke ring, smiled brightly, and then his face turned gloomy and said.

This Uchiha Fugaku is really ungrateful.

Uchiha Fugaku didn’t know how to respond to Third Generation’s attempt to win over and support them, and he stood there in a daze for a moment.

“Hokage-sama, the security forces are busy. If there are no more missions assigned to you, Fugaku will take his leave.”

After a long while, Uchiha Fugaku finally uttered these words.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a long drag on his pipe and said in a deep voice:

“Where the leaves are dancing, the fire will also continue to burn. The flames will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout. You are the ninja that I watched grow and sprout. Go, work in the guard team, and you are also contributing to Konoha!”

“yes!”

Uchiha Fugaku nodded seriously to Will of Fire.

…

Uchiha Naraku had been in charge of the First Squad of the Security Force for less than a week, and he had already caused a lot of trouble for the squad.

The first division has four squadrons. The original annual salary of the first squadron was 600,000 taels, but Naraku increased it to 1 million taels.

The staff of the other three squadrons had a two-year salary of 600,000 taels, which was reduced by 200,000 taels to 400,000 taels.

Excluding the additional salary for the first squadron, there is an additional squadron with a salary of 200,000 taels per person, which means 3.4 million taels of funds as reserve for 17 people.

Four hundred thousand for two years is a little tight for survival in Konoha, but not so tight that one cannot survive.

However, the Uchiha Guard Force not only receives a salary, but also has an incomparable advantage, which is that they will not be sent to the battlefield.

All the ninjas of Konohagakure were sent to the battlefield during wartime, and when the fighting was intense, even the newly graduated Genin were sent out.

However, ninjas from the security forces would generally not be sent there. Just this advantage alone would make it very difficult for other ninja clans to get in.

But they couldn’t squeeze in. The Uchiha clan members were barely able to settle down, so how could they possibly recruit other ninja clans or civilians?

Many Uchiha tribesmen even hold unpaid positions in the security forces.

Doing other jobs to make a living meant that during World War II, except for a few elite soldiers, almost no Uchiha were forced to go to the battlefield.

The annual salary of the First Squadron of the First Division was increased, and the older ninjas who applied for transfers couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed.

Although the annual salaries of the other three squadrons decreased, they no longer had to carry out arrest missions and some missions against ninjas, and they were completely transformed into village managers and security team members.

The responsibilities of the first team were further subdivided, and each squadron was given a new name.

The first squadron was named the Criminal Investigation Squadron, with seventeen people specializing in major cases, arresting criminal ninjas, and investigating spies. They were transformed from being all-rounders to unilateral staff.

Missions are often accompanied by danger, but for the bellicosity and pride of the Uchiha young ninja, this is a good opportunity to spread their fame.

The second squadron of the first team was named the Public Security Squadron.

Its patrol range was expanded and it was responsible for patrolling the patrol areas of the original four squadrons.

It was only responsible for the public security within the village and handling villagers’ requests for help and disputes.

Matters involving vendors originally had nothing to do with the Second Squadron and were not under their jurisdiction.

They were only responsible for public security disputes.

As for the discovery of foreign spies, criminal ninjas, and the like, they had the authority to deal with them, but they could transfer them to the First Squadron’s criminal investigation team.

The First Squadron has limited manpower and limited intelligence acquisition capabilities, and requires the cooperation of all members of the First Division.

If there are any suspicious signs, they can be reported and transferred to the First Criminal Investigation Squadron. If appropriate, a reward will be awarded to the person who submitted the information.

The third squadron of the first team was transformed into a village management unit, responsible for taking care of vendors, hygiene, the environment, etc.

Uchiha Naraku solemnly stated that the main approach towards villagers and vendors should be persuasion, and random beatings, smashing and arrests are not allowed.

These rude ninjas were very good at tasks like killing people, so it was somewhat difficult to persuade them gently. However, Naraku had already held a meeting and had repeatedly and seriously emphasized this.

The second squadron and the third squadron, one is responsible for public security and the other is responsible for village management, and they are the most hated departments by the villagers.

The Second Squadron is in charge of public security. If there is a dispute between two people, they help one and offend the other. In the long run, their reputation and image will definitely decline.

Moreover, if the security team members are to deal with disputes among villagers, they are more likely to be meddling in other people’s affairs and end up pleasing neither side.

The Third Squadron is in charge of the village’s environmental vendors, needless to say, there was an incident in the past where someone was hunted down by the Uchiha Jōnin because of a minor matter of setting up a stall.

When Naraku saw these files, he couldn’t help but sigh at the complacent Uchiha guards. This was not a reputation at all, it was clearly a stigma.

The 4th Squadron serves as a special mobile force, and any team that needs support will be provided by the 4th Squadron.

The elites from each squadron were all transferred to the First Squadron and the Fourth Squadron. Most of the ninjas in the First Squadron were young and strong, and they had great combat power.

As for the ninjas in the 4th Squadron responsible for support, most of them are young ninjas, generally under the age of 20.

The Special Mobile Force can also be called a special police force. If there are no special incidents, they will have more free time.

This will allow the young men of the 4th Squadron to have enough time to practice ninjutsu and grow.

The Uchiha Guard also manages the prison, which is managed by other guard departments. Naraku doesn’t worry about these. He should first take care of his own land.

The personnel changes and division of responsibilities over the past few days have given the staff of the Uchiha Guard’s First Squadron some new experiences.

The third squadron, the village management squadron, was mostly composed of the old and weak members of the Uchiha clan. They did not have the hot tempers of the young ninjas, but they did a good job of enforcing the peace law that Naraku had repeatedly emphasized.

The previous violent incidents such as shouting and yelling, and overturning stalls have become much less common, and most people step forward to persuade people to stop.

The third squadron, the village management squadron, is currently planning the stall area so that vendors can set up stalls in a centralized location to avoid complaints from other villagers.
