Chapter 283: The Resolve of the Uchiha Clan!
"What? Lord Ikeizumi actually prepares to expand the Police Force all the way to the Land of Water?"
As the ninja cats under Kojirō brought back Uchiha Ikeizumi's idea, the entire Uchiha clan became almost like a pot of boiling water.
In the past, the Uchiha clan was extremely dissatisfied with the Police Force; those radical Uchiha clansmen even felt that Konoha's Police Force was simply a method used to restrict their Uchiha clan!
But with the rise of Uchiha Ikeizumi, and with Absolute Justice growing within Konoha, the clansmen of the Uchiha clan began to realize that it was truly too wonderful that they were Konoha's Police Force!
If there were no Konoha Police Force, the Uchiha clansmen right now would perhaps have to ponder how to follow Uchiha Ikeizumi.
"The news was transmitted back by Lord Ikeizumi's ninja cat. Uchiha Izumi has already officially become the grand captain of the Land of Water Police Force!"
Among the three Uchiha clansmen who had previously been arranged by Uchiha Ikeizumi to resolve Gato, someone stood up, his face filled with worship and admiration.
To let the Uchiha clan step out of Konoha, and even directly become the Police Force of another great nation—
To speak the truth, even in dreams, the clansmen of the Uchiha clan would not dare to make such a dream!
Compared to that trash Fugaku, Uchiha Ikeizumi simply surpassed him by far too much!
Even if Uchiha Ikeizumi appeared to not care about the Uchiha clan at all, how was this not using another method to bring glory and prosperity to the Uchiha clan?
"No, do not use the narrow vision of a single clan to look at Lord Ikeizumi!"
"Lord Ikeizumi's capacity is something difficult for us to imagine; Lord Ikeizumi has already placed his vision upon the entire ninja world!"
"And Lord Ikeizumi also stated very clearly that he only needs a Police Force that believes in Absolute Justice, rather than an Uchiha clan's Police Force!"
Another Uchiha clansman who went to execute the Gato mission spoke up calmly.
Although he also felt his blood boiling over Uchiha Ikeizumi's conception, and even wished he could directly fly to the Land of Water to complete the task assigned by Uchiha Ikeizumi, he also knew that selecting true executors of justice was his most important task at hand.
"Open up the organization of the Police Force, and let everyone in Konoha whose heart faces toward Absolute Justice join the Police Force!"
"If—if Lord Ikeizumi truly places his gaze upon the Five Great Nations, wanting to cause the Police Force to open all over the Five Great Nations, then relying solely on the clansmen of the Uchiha clan is not enough to use, even if we add ten times more it is not enough to use!"
"We need to recruit more people with shared ideals, even if they are not of the Uchiha clan!"
"As for those narrow-minded people who still constantly think of the glory of the Uchiha clan, go and intermarry with those who join the Police Force!"
"The Senju clan integrated into the entirety of Konoha through the method of intermarriage; our Uchiha clan can likewise integrate into the entire ninja world through this kind of method!"
The last Uchiha ninja who followed Uchiha Ikeizumi to execute the Gato mission spoke up slowly.
Even he had to admit that, at the very beginning when he heard Uchiha Ikeizumi's arrangement, the first thought that rose in his mind was also to take this opportunity to bring glory and prosperity to the Uchiha clan, letting the glory of the Uchiha clan sprinkle across the entire ninja world.
But he finally reacted in the end; if they truly selected only Uchiha clansmen to serve as the Police Force of the entire ninja world, it might not necessarily be a good thing for the Uchiha clan.
After all, merely being Konoha's Police Force had already caused the Uchiha clan to suffer endless misunderstandings; if they truly became the Police Force of the entire ninja world, the Uchiha clan would probably become a thorn in the eye of the entire ninja world!
"To have the clansmen of the Uchiha clan intermarry with all the righteous Police Force members—"
"Thereby letting the Uchiha clan and justice completely fuse into one entity—"
It had to be said, along with this Uchiha ninja's speaking, all the Uchiha clansmen in the entire ancestral hall fell into silence.
This method was not bad; after all, the Senju clan had integrated into Konoha in this way, almost reaching the point where Konoha was the Senju clan and the Senju clan was Konoha.
If the Uchiha clan also did this, as long as there were still people in the world who persisted in justice, then the Uchiha clan would not count as truly extinct.
The sole defect was probably that the outcome of doing this was that the Uchiha clan would no longer be a whole.
"Let us do it this way!"
"If Lord Ikeizumi truly can create a peaceful ninja world, it does not matter even if our Uchiha clan disappears!"
An Uchiha ninja of high standing and reputation set the keynote, counting as endorsing the idea of having the Uchiha clansmen enter marriage alliances with all future executors of justice.
After the Uchiha clan finished their meeting, they directly sent the proposal to open up the organization of the Konoha Police Force into the hands of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"This is—"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the intelligence in his hand, and after seeing Uchiha Ikeizumi's thought, he could not help but fall into silence.
The Five Great Nations had basically already learned that a huge upheaval had occurred in the Land of Water, but Sarutobi Hiruzen could never have imagined in any way that Uchiha Ikeizumi actually wanted to move the Police Force to the Land of Water, and even become the justice organization of the Land of Water.
"He is using this kind of method to express dissatisfaction toward you; previously when Tsunade proposed to arrange medical ninja for the Konoha Police Force, you rejected it."
"Now, Uchiha Ikeizumi has leapt out of Konoha, and has even directly controlled the entire Land of Water."
"In his heart, he still cares about the Uchiha clan!"
Utatane Koharu also saw the proposal handed up by the Uchiha clan, but she only felt that Uchiha Ikeizumi had finally exposed his own ambition, and did not feel that this was some kind of temporary impulse!
"No, what we should consider right now is, what the consequence will be if Uchiha Ikeizumi leaves Konoha!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen fiercely took a puff of his pipe, his face enveloped beneath the smoke, making it impossible for people to see his concrete expression clearly.
"Leaves Konoha?"
Utatane Koharu also became somewhat silent; she also realized—realized that Uchiha Ikeizumi's identity had a new change once again.
When Uchiha Ikeizumi was still in Konoha, no matter what he did, even if he supported Tsunade to become the Hokage, that was only the business of the single house of Konoha, and he still had to take Sarutobi Hiruzen into account.
But as Uchiha Ikeizumi practically controlled the Land of Water, then his thoughts to a certain degree could represent the Land of Water, representing another of the Five Great Nations just like the Land of Fire!
"If Uchiha Ikeizumi leaves Konoha, the current Uchiha clan will also follow him and leave."
"Not only the Uchiha clan, but even Naruto—"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's mood was very melancholy. Absolute Justice was truly about to take root and sprout in the ninja world; this was clearly a good thing, yet whenever he thought of Uchiha Ikeizumi being able to leave Konoha at any time, leaving behind a huge, terrible mess, he could not help but feel at a loss.
"Go and have Tsunade come to see me!"
After a period of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen made a decision. He might not necessarily be able to make Uchiha Ikeizumi come back, but if it were Tsunade, if it were this matter of electing Konoha's new Hokage, it should be able to make Uchiha Ikeizumi come back, right?
