"The Clan Head sent me to the Police Force to salvage the Uchiha's reputation."
"As long as I can withstand the schemes and suppression from the Hokage's faction, I can even turn the tables and make Sarutobi Hiruzen suffer a loss."
"That's enough!"
"..."
Chapter 90: Tekka Pledges Loyalty, Next Phase of the Plan Begins
Uchiha Tekka was completely stunned.
Yes.
After Uchiha Jin's explanation, his worldview was utterly shattered.
He never imagined that simply catching a thief could involve so many things.
Thinking of this, he trembled all over.
Before, he could never understand.
Why did the Police Force diligently do its job, only for its reputation to get worse and worse?
But now, he understood.
It turned out that the village's higher-ups had been constantly trying to suppress and defame the Uchiha!
Thinking of this.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his whole body trembled slightly.
"So, that's how it is!" Uchiha Tekka's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "The village elders are going too far."
"How can they use such sinister methods against the Uchiha?"
"No wonder the Uchiha's reputation in the village kept getting worse."
"Elder Jin, I understand."
"From now on, I will completely follow your command; everything is for the Uchiha!"
Yes.
The Uchiha's minds were that simple.
He had joined the radical faction before simply because he looked down on the moderate faction.
But, over the years.
Uchiha Setsuna only talked big, but in reality, he had no achievements whatsoever.
The Uchiha's situation in the village hadn't changed at all!
He had long been displeased with Uchiha Setsuna; his inaction over the years was simply due to a lack of other options.
Now, however, it was different!
Uchiha Jin's sudden rise gave him new hope.
Not only had he awakened the Uchiha's ultimate secret, the Mangekyo Sharingan, but more importantly, Uchiha Jin's mind was what truly impressed him.
Just from such a small matter, he could instantly sense something was wrong, and then in a few moves, he found the truth.
Even more commendable was that Uchiha Jin could also launch a counterattack.
This was too amazing!
Coupled with Uchiha Jin's words during the clan meeting last night.
It also proved that he had a clear understanding of the Uchiha's predicament that surpassed ordinary people's perception.
To summarize.
Great strength, a clear mind, and ruthless methods.
He even began to ponder if Jin became the Clan Head, could he change the situation within the clan?
So, there was nothing more to say.
He once again knelt on one knee before Jin, and unlike the previous time, this time he offered his loyalty.
He was no longer playing with the radical faction; he wanted to follow Uchiha Jin.
Uchiha Jin: "..."
His mouth twitched.
Looking at Tekka, who was kneeling on the ground again, he really didn't know how to complain.
Good heavens!
Tekka was an Elite Jonin within the Uchiha clan.
Especially within the radical faction, he had strong appeal.
Basically, one could say.
Tekka's loyalty to him could bring in a group of people.
But, he really didn't need it!
He was just a slacker who wanted to lie flat; even taking on the role of Police Chief this time was just being forced into it.
So, seeing this posture, he even wanted to suggest to Tekka to just go and join Shisui.
How great it would be to be a hands-off boss, why insist on doing it himself?
However, wait a moment.
If he also formed a faction, and then had a falling out with Shisui, and the two of them started competing.
Wouldn't Shisui be able to use this as an excuse to constantly ask Sarutobi Hiruzen for aid?
He had already been exposed.
Even if he stayed home all the time, Sarutobi Hiruzen would keep a close eye on him.
On the contrary.
The more he chose to remain silent, the more worried the Hokage would be, fearing that he was secretly plotting something.
Since that was the case, it was better to just raise the banner directly.
This way, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not only be relieved, but Shisui would also use the excuse of not being able to defeat him to fight for various resources from the Hokage.
Anyway, even if he didn't fight for the village's finances, they would eventually flow into the major Ninja Clans.
Therefore.
It was better to get them for the Uchiha!
Even better, the fiercer the Uchiha fought amongst themselves, the more relieved the village would be.
With the village relaxed, Kazama's plan would also be easier to execute.
As for Tekka's loyalty, Uchiha Jin was actually the least worried.
These Uchiha guys, let alone engaging in any kind of forbearance or dormant.
If their minds were even slightly normal, they wouldn't have been bullied to such an extent by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
A bunch of simpletons!
Since he said he would be loyal, it must be genuine.
Thinking of this, he slowly nodded.
"Alright, I understand."
"Since you have no problem, then do as I instructed."
"Continue to severely punish the three guys arrested today as 'spies'; just make sure not to kill them."
"I reckon the Hokage will come to demand their release by tonight at the latest!"
Tekka slowly nodded.
Now that he knew Jin's true thoughts, he naturally felt more confident.
Indeed, the Hokage's faction deserved a lesson.
"I understand, sir!" Tekka pondered for a moment before he couldn't help but speak: "I will handle this personally."
--- Requesting flowers --- "But if we deal with the Anbu like this, can the Hokage really let it slide?"
Uchiha Jin rolled his eyes.
Looking at Tekka in front of him, his eyes were full of helplessness.
He couldn't even figure this out?
Helplessly shaking his head, he couldn't help but ask in return: "Do you know those three are Anbu?"
