"I went to inquire, and it seems they've gone on another mission."
Itachi's brow twitched.
Hearing the word 'war' immediately caught his attention.
However, Ayame was just a civilian, so he naturally had no intention of interjecting.
Uchiha Jin, on the other hand, had flickering eyes.
Minato's Team had just returned and rested for only a day, and now they were hastily dispatched again?
From the looks of it, the front-line war is very intense!
But, never mind.
It had nothing to do with him anyway, so he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
"Oh, by the way, Jin-kun." Ayame suddenly spoke, "Aren't you a ninja too?"
"How come everyone else has gone to the front lines, but you can still be so leisurely in the village!"
Uchiha Jin's mouth twitched.
But he still smiled and said, "Because I'm strong enough, I've already become a Uchiha Elder."
"According to the rules of the village and the Ninja Clan, Ninja Clan elders automatically withdraw from the ninja ranks and are no longer subject to the village's conscription."
There was no need to hide this point.
Ayame and Teuchi, after listening, looked at Uchiha Jin in astonishment.
"You, an Elder?" Ayame was stunned.
Teuchi didn't speak, but just said with emotion, "A Uchiha Elder!"
Uchiha Jin shrugged.
"Actually, not only am I an Elder, but I also hold the position of Chief of the Military Police Force."
Teuchi and Ayame were even more shocked upon hearing this.
Yes.
For them, the Police Chief was considered a high-ranking official of the village.
"This is great news!"
"I've disliked the Police Force for a long time. Now that Jin-kun you've taken over, you really need to properly rectify it."
"Those Uchiha are just too arrogant."
Ayame spoke angrily.
Clearly.
As Konoha Villagers, most basically had no good feelings towards the Uchiha.
On the other hand, Teuchi Ichiraku's tone became serious.
"Ayame, don't be silly."
"Jin and Itachi are also Uchiha. How can you be so indiscriminate?"
Ayame looked a little embarrassed.
After she realized, she naturally understood that what she had just said wasn't quite right.
"Uh, I'm sorry!" Ayame quickly apologized, "Jin-kun, Itachi-kun, I wasn't talking about you two."
"You two are both very good, and Obito is also good."
"But most of the Uchiha are still not good!"
"I don't know how strong Jin-kun you are now, but since you can become the Chief of the Military Police Force, then you can't continue to be so leisurely."
"You must rectify it properly!"
Uchiha Jin had a black line on his face.
Regarding this request, he really didn't know what to say.
After all, to be blunt, he was at most a figurehead and had no intention of actually going to work.
Wouldn't it be better to just lie flat?
Moreover, the Uchiha's reputation was bad, and it was very difficult to change that!
At the very least.
Before the Third Hokage stepped down, and before Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo Shimura were dealt with, it was almost impossible to resolve this matter.
But... he couldn't say such things directly, as Teuchi and his daughter were just civilians.
He didn't want to drag them into such a complex issue.
If he didn't answer, it would be a bit impolite.
After pondering for a moment, Uchiha Jin spoke softly.
"Ayame, let me ask you a question..."
"You think the Uchiha are very bad, but can you think about what wrong things they have actually done?"
"Be specific, just say whatever comes to mind."
"If there really is a problem, I'll go back and deal with it immediately!"
His tone was serious.
If Ayame could truly articulate it, then he would indeed have the authority to handle it.
However, it was a pity.
As Uchiha Jin spoke, Ayame fell directly into silence.
Even though she tried her best to think, she still couldn't find a single instance.
Almost instantly.
She realized something was wrong.
Yes!
Since the Uchiha were so disliked, and she felt an inexplicable, innate fear whenever she saw the Police Force in her daily life.
But after careful consideration, she couldn't find a single specific example.
What was going on?
Ayame fell into confusion.
Teuchi Ichiraku was the same.
He was also constantly thinking, trying to find such an example.
But, it was no use!
Even though he tried his best, he still couldn't find one.
He just felt the Uchiha were annoying, but when asked specifically what the Uchiha did wrong, he couldn't find any actual examples.
Teuchi and his daughter remained silent.
In fact, let alone them.
Even young Itachi was thinking about this question.
However.
Although he couldn't figure it out either, he keenly sensed that there was a big problem here.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speak.
"Master, what exactly is going on?"
Itachi looked confused.
He truly couldn't understand, so he could only look at Uchiha Jin beside him.
Uchiha Jin's expression was calm.
After a long while, he finally spoke softly.
"The Uchiha!"
"You can say they are proud, conceited, foolish, stubborn, and even arrogant!"
"To be honest, I also dislike the Uchiha; they are just a bunch of self-important idiots."
"But, at the same time."
"The Uchiha have their pride. They may look down on civilians, but they would never bully them."
"Bullying a group of weaklings is considered a disgrace to the Uchiha!"
