There are two reasons.
First, he genuinely couldn't change it; he had discussed it many times within the Clan before.
But it was truly useless!
The pride of the Uchiha is something etched into their very bones.
As the saying goes, it's easier to change rivers and mountains than to change one's nature. He couldn't even change his top general, Uchiha Tekka.
Let alone anyone else.
In fact, forget about them.
Just look at the Uchiha geniuses, Shisui and Itachi, who seem the easiest to talk to.
Don't be fooled by their usual kind and humble demeanor, appearing very approachable.
But, in reality...
Uchiha Jin, who had the most contact with them, knew better than anyone that they were actually more arrogant than anyone else.
Even the Uchiha behind him right now weren't as arrogant as Shisui and Itachi.
It's just that...
Unlike these Uchiha, Shisui and Itachi's arrogance was ingrained.
Normally...
Most people couldn't really tell.
Shisui considered himself an Uchiha genius and a descendant of Uchiha Kagami, so he was arrogant enough to disregard everyone and directly set his mind on changing the Clan.
No one could change him.
No matter how difficult, even death, could not change his original intention.
Itachi was even more arrogant!
In the original work, besides Shisui and Sarutobi Hiruzen, he didn't put anyone else in his eyes.
He had an attitude of 'you don't understand anything, I can't be bothered to talk to you, just follow my arrangements.'
Especially when facing Sasuke!
He had an attitude of 'I've thought of everything for you, you don't need to think about anything, just blindly follow my arrangements.'
As for whether you accept it?
Are you kidding me?!
I'm such an amazing person, and I've thought of everything so well for you, why the hell wouldn't you accept it?
This was also the fundamental reason why Sasuke had a love-hate relationship with Itachi later on.
On one hand...
His brother was indeed good to him, even considering the Eternal Mangekyo.
But, damn it...
Sasuke, as an Uchiha, had an even wilder mentality than Itachi.
Coupled with the influence of Indra's Chakra, it would be strange if he approved of Itachi's actions.
So, in summary...
These Uchiha guys are typical 'Dragon-Among-Men' archetypes.
Want to change them?
Forget about it!
Even the Sage of Six Paths probably couldn't change something so ingrained.
Of course, more importantly...
During this time, Uchiha Jin had thought it over carefully, and it seemed that the Uchiha's personality was actually quite good.
Konoha's number one noble Clan, wild, cool, and awesome!
If he wanted to execute Nara Kazama's plan in the future, the Uchiha's posture would definitely be able to intimidate a large number of people.
People, after all...
Naturally admire strength!
Of course, the prerequisite is...
Uchiha Jin must genuinely control the Uchiha; this card, if played well, can have a huge effect.
But if no one controls this large ship, then the Uchiha will collapse on their own without anyone else needing to intervene.
The reason is simple!
The Uchiha's minds are truly abnormal; the outward manifestation is that they are prolific producers of traitors.
In the distant past, there was Uchiha Madara as the representative, and more recently, Obito and Itachi, those two blockheads.
When these people go mad, who cares about the Uchiha Clan?
Look at it.
Madara wanted to kill the Uchiha!
Obito wanted to kill the Uchiha!
Itachi even personally acted and directly killed the Uchiha!
Alas!
Thinking of this, Uchiha Jin couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
And, at this moment...
Led by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and escorted by Torifu Koharu and Mitokado Homura, he walked directly into the hall.
"Hokage-sama!"
Everyone stood up and spoke respectfully.
Even Uchiha Jin, though disgusted in his heart, still stood up and adopted a respectful posture.
There was no other way!
If he wanted to play within the rules of the game, then he had to obey the rules of the game.
Many Uchiha were also quite unwilling.
But seeing that Uchiha Jin had stood up, they naturally could only reluctantly stand up and speak.
"Hmm, everyone, please sit!"
"Given that we are currently in a time of war, I will not waste words."
"First, I want to apologize to the Uchiha!"
"I won't elaborate on the specific reasons, but in short, due to various reasons, the Police Force's appropriations have been delayed for many consecutive years."
"And it is precisely because of this that the members of the Police Force have recently started to struggle to afford food."
"I even heard that because of this, the Police Force is in a state of unease, and no one can even calm down to work."
"Every day, they are thinking about how to do side jobs to earn money to support their families."
"This is a failure on my part as Hokage!"
"Therefore, I must apologize!"
"So, considering this, after discussions with a few elders, we have decided to promptly settle the Police Force's outstanding payments from previous years."
"Of course, considering that this amount is too large, it certainly cannot be paid off all at once."
"According to village regulations, the Police Force's annual appropriation is normally 370 million ryo."
"This time, I propose to first allocate a total of one billion ryo for three years."
"The funds will be directly allocated from the Treasury Department. Elder Utatane Koharu has also stated that there are no issues and the allocation can be made at any time."
"But, likewise..."
"The Treasury Department's annual budget is limited, and allocating three years' worth of outstanding payments to the Police Force all at once will definitely affect other departments."
"However, I hope everyone understands."
"You must know that the Police Force has been shouldering the burden for other departments for many years."
"Now, without further ado, let's vote by a show of hands."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was calm.
There was no intention of picking a fight with the Uchiha; in fact, he even spoke favorably of the Uchiha in his speech.
Yes.
This was his personality.
Once he decided to do something, he would not hesitate.
