Chapter 2 Preface Mission 1: Speak with strength

"Are you a child of the Uchiha family?" The eldest master quickly put on a kind smile and asked Zhenyan.

"Do you know me?" Zhenyan felt curious.

The old man looked at the round fan pattern on Zhenyan's clothes and said with a smile: "The round fan is the symbol of Uchiha."

Zhenyan looked down at his clothes. There was indeed a pattern embroidered on the front of his clothes. He had seen this pattern in the Uchiha clan territory and when he passed by the police department. If the eldest master hadn't said it, he would have thought that the Uchiha was a family that loved table tennis. After all, this pattern looked more like a table tennis racket than a round fan...

After shifting his attention away from the strangely shaped clan emblem, Zhenyan thought of his mission again and asked again, "Master, how do you feel about life in the village?"

The eldest grandfather looked far into the distance, deep into the village, and soon came back to his senses and looked at Zhenyan: "I feel very good to see children like you grow up healthily in the village."

Zhenyan suddenly felt like she was the host, but it didn't matter. When she was in Honghua Village, the enthusiastic uncle and aunt had the same attitude. This only shows that the villagers are progressive in their thinking. After all, everyone has a responsibility to build the new ninja village.

"Why are you asking me this question?" The old man kept smiling and asked Zhenyan another question.

"Well, of course it's because I want to join the police department, so I want to understand everyone's needs from the grassroots level, so that I can better serve everyone and lead our village to become a model representative of advanced villages."

The Third Generation, the Boss, the Hokage: “…………”

What is the model of an advanced village? Is it to surpass other ninja villages and become the hegemon? Is this what the Uchiha advocate? The Third World War has just ended, and Konoha can no longer withstand large-scale consumption...

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through the Third Hokage's mind, and he finally decided to pay more attention to the Uchiha's movements. Of course, he did not express these thoughts in front of Zhenyan, and after leaving a word of encouragement, he left.

"The truth."

Zhenyan was looking at the old man's back when someone suddenly called his name from behind. He turned around and saw two black-haired boys. Both boys wore armbands on their sleeves, and the armbands had a combination of a round fan and a four-pointed star pattern, which was the logo of the village police department.

Seeing someone who might be a colleague, Zhenyan nodded in response.

"What were you talking about with the Third Hokage just now?" asked one of the black-haired boys. His name was Uchiha Kaede.

Shingen tilted his head in confusion: "Third Hokage?"

Another young man named Uchiha Gin raised his chin and pointed at the rock statues high above the village. Zhenyan looked over there. He had noticed the four eye-catching rock statues before, but he didn't associate them with the old man just now. After they were pointed out, he realized that the third rock statue looked like the old man, but was a little younger.

Since the person could be carved there, he must be an important person in the village. Zhenyan used the excuse that he had a broken head and his memory was wrong, and asked a few more questions in detail, and indeed got a similar answer.

Generally speaking, the Hokage is equivalent to the village chief, the biggest leader in the village. He wondered why the old man's answer was so official, it turned out he was the old village chief!

The village chief's words naturally cannot represent the general public. Zhenyan felt that he should interview a few more people, and there happened to be two of them in front of him.

As both were Uchiha, they knew his name well, so this time Shingen asked casually: "What do you think of our village?"

After hearing the question from Shingen, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then they regained their initial pride, but with a look of resentment: "In the beginning, it was the head of our Uchiha clan and the head of the Senju clan who jointly founded the Konoha Village, but since the establishment of the village, the people who have served as Hokage have always been from the Senju lineage..."

Zhenyan had never thought that there was such a reason. He looked at the two people and guessed that they must be somewhat dissatisfied. After thinking for a while, he said, "In this case, we must work hard."

"Work hard?" Uchiha Feng and Uchiha Gin looked at each other, not understanding what the truth meant.

"That's right, it just so happens that our police department is responsible for the security of the village, so it will be easier for us to do our job." Zhenyan affirmed.

Uchiha Feng suddenly looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "You mean..." Halfway through the sentence, he raised his fist...

Shingon looked at the fist in front of him, then at Uchiha Feng who was speaking. He also made a fist and patted his chest: "That's it. We must lead by example, go deep into the grassroots, fully understand the needs of the villagers, strengthen service awareness, mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, promote Konoha as my home, and its construction depends on everyone's spirit!"

Uchiha Feng: "..."

Uchiha Gin: "..."

The two were stunned by the truth and asked stammeringly, "Is... is that so?"

"Of course." Zhenyan said affirmatively, "What else do you think?"

"We thought we had to speak with strength..."

"You really have to speak with strength. Don't underestimate grassroots work." Zhenyan recalled his work experience in Honghua Village and added, "If you don't have strength, you may not even be able to get a word in when communicating with the grandfather and the grandmother."

"…………" Uchiha Feng and Uchiha Yin looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes...

"What's the meaning of the grassroots work you mentioned?" the two Uchiha boys asked again.

"How did the leader of the Senju clan become Hokage?" Shingon asked back.

The two Uchiha boys were somewhat speechless, because even though they were the old enemies of the Senju, they had to admit that the first Hokage was excellent, and the villagers in the village respected him very much...

Looking at the two silent people, Zhenyan spoke again: "So our police department must strive to be a brick of Konoha and move wherever there is a need."

Uchiha Feng: "..."

Uchiha Gin: "..."

After a long while, the two Uchiha boys did not speak again. Zhenyan looked at them and asked, "By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The two were still in shock, and only after hearing Zhenyan's question again did they come to their senses and replied, "Yes, the clan leader said that if you are not in serious trouble, you can report to the police first..."

Zhenyan nodded. He also wanted to get to work quickly, so he went straight to the police department with the two of them. After registering and receiving an armband, he became an official member of the police department.

It was just that it was getting late today, and his young arms and legs could not withstand the fatigue, so he went back to the chieftain's house first. He came here to thank the chieftain for arranging such a suitable job for him, but unfortunately, the chieftain uncle was out for something, and the only one at home was the black-haired boy who had red eyes on him at first, and the baby in the cradle.

When in the police department, Zhenyan made some special inquiries and found out that the black-haired boy's name was Uchiha Itachi, the eldest son of the clan leader and a genius ninja who graduated from the ninja school at the age of seven.

"Ninja" is a new word to Shingon, but thinking that this is not the real world, he quickly accepted this setting. After all, no matter who you are, you have to live in the village.

Shingon walked over and greeted Itachi. Seeing the baby in Itachi's arms, he smiled and said, "She's so pretty, she must be a girl."

Itachi pursed his lips and emphasized: "It's my younger brother."!
