"Uh, I understand." Tekka nodded.
Uchiha Jin spoke directly, "When the Hokage comes to demand him, I will naturally appear in person."
Tekka nodded and prepared to bow and leave.
Seeing this, Uchiha Jin's eyes darted around.
His expression became serious as he looked at Tekka, and his mind began to work.
After a moment of silence, he spoke again.
"Tekka, wait a moment."
… "Since you've chosen to follow me, then arrange things according to my instructions."
"In the Police Force I'm in charge of, don't be so proactive with solving cases. In short, just slack off."
"After all, the Village doesn't belong to the Uchiha, so even if the Village's public order completely collapses, the first one to be affected would be Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage."
"If the Konoha Villagers come to demand an explanation, then it's one word: delay!"
"Of course, the people in our Police Force responsible for receiving the Konoha Villagers should have smiles on their faces and good attitudes. If it's really not working, then just bow and apologize."
"As for actually doing anything? Just wait!"
"Find any reason you want. The case is complicated, it's hard to investigate—you can come up with anything."
"If you really can't find a reason, then just say the Police Force hasn't received any funding, and we Uchiha haven't been paid for several months."
"So all the Police Force members have gone to take on missions or do odd jobs to earn living expenses."
"Anyway, the Village delaying the Police Force's funding has been going on for years, so even the Hokage can't find fault with that reason."
"And while you're at it, explain to the Konoha Villagers that for the past few years, the Uchiha Clan has been paying out of its own pocket to subsidize the Police Force."
"But now, the Uchiha have no money."
"Once this matter completely blows up, casually submit a report to the Hokage, crying poor."
"Ask when the outstanding payments from all these years will finally be given."
"If the money isn't provided, the Police Force can only be disbanded."
"After all, the people in our Police Force also need to eat and support their families, don't they?"
"Then spread the word so that all Konoha Villagers know that the disruption of the Village's public order has nothing to do with our Police Force."
"It's purely because the Village isn't providing funding!"
Chapter 91: Uchiha Jin's Scheme, Sarutobi Hiruzen's Investigation
Uchiha Tekka gasped.
This was a reverse threat to the Hokage!
Even the radical faction of the Uchiha in the past, despite all their boasting, no one dared to do something like this.
More importantly.
Even if Uchiha Jin did this, no one could find fault with him.
The reason was too legitimate.
No matter how displeased Sarutobi Hiruzen was, unless he dared to remove the Uchiha, he could only bow his head and concede.
As for removing the Uchiha?
What a joke!
The Uchiha haven't done anything wrong, so even if he is the Hokage, he can't do that!
You should know that when they were in charge of the Police Force, you, the Hokage, didn't allocate a single penny. Instead, the Uchiha maintained it with their own money.
What does this mean?
Even if it gets out, it can only prove one thing.
The Uchiha are good people!
Even if the Village doesn't allocate funds, they still use their own money to do things for the Village.
Even if you take a step back and really remove the Uchiha.
But then what?
Which Ninja Clan would you replace them with? If you don't allocate funds, no one will do it!
Let alone other Ninja Clans, even the Sarutobi Clan wouldn't.
As for allocating funds, that's also not possible!
During the Uchiha era, the Village was already short on money, and there was no funding for the Police Force.
If another Ninja Clan took over, would money suddenly appear?
If this news spread, how would the common people view him, the Hokage?
Understanding this, Tekka was filled with shock.
Uchiha Jin is too strong.
This method left him stunned.
"Okay, I understand."
"I'll arrange this immediately, but should this be done in secret?"
Uchiha Jin's brows furrowed slightly.
After a moment of contemplation, he still shook his head, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.
"No need, just do it openly."
"Just hide it from the common people. As for the Hokage faction or other Ninja Clans, there's no need to conceal it."
"This is an overt scheme. What if they know?"
Yes.
He just wanted to openly slap Sarutobi Hiruzen's face!
To tell him clearly, I, Uchiha Jin, am going to cause trouble.
Are you angry?
Are you furious?
Do you hate me to death?
And at this time, Shisui should also appear.
This is a good pawn who possesses the 'will of fire'. Shisui also dislikes me, Uchiha Jin.
Now he wants to win over a group of Uchiha to challenge me, Uchiha Jin.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, what are you waiting for?
Why don't you quickly provide money and resources to support Shisui?
As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen chooses to do so, Uchiha Jin would dare to throw the match, and then let Shisui wildly cash out and embezzle everything.
Either way, he wouldn't lose.
As for whether Sarutobi Hiruzen would fall for it?
Uchiha Jin wasn't worried at all.
Because before they truly broke ties, no matter how angry Sarutobi Hiruzen was, he could only retaliate within the rules of the game.
If he wanted to incite other Ninja Clans to destroy the Uchiha, no one would support him without a righteous cause.
Unless, he used Danzo!
But the problem is that such underhanded tactics cannot be brought into the light.
If he dared to do that, it would mean that even if Uchiha Jin counterattacked, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only watch helplessly!
"Okay, I understand." Uchiha Tekka bowed respectfully, "I'll arrange it immediately!"
This time.
Although he didn't understand the reason, he didn't ask.
Uchiha Jin had already proven his ability, and for Tekka, just following orders was enough.
He didn't care about anything else.
He believed Uchiha Jin had the ability to handle everything.
