Naruto: Awakening Eternal Power with My Eye Techniques

"Everyone, the choice is in our hands now. Will we become Konoha's true protectors, or remain just an optional patrol unit? Your decision right now will decide it all!" Shiyu Uchiha's words greatly stirred up the emotionally-charged and ever-adolescent Uchiha clan members present.

As soon as Shiyu Uchiha finished speaking, Uchiha Shizhi immediately continued, "Now is the time to choose the future path for our clan. This is your last chance—those who wish to remain in the Police Department, please stand. Those who choose to become Konoha's protectors, stay seated. I've already made my choice."

Uchiha Shizhi's words delivered a second emotional blow. Although heated discussions broke out across the hall, only a few individuals stood up. Most remained seated, and several of those who had risen quickly changed their minds and sat again. In effect, the vote passed unanimously.

Then Shiyu Uchiha continued, "As for security issues near other ninja clans, they're generally not serious enough to worry about. We can simply recruit members from smaller clans to handle them—they already have the necessary connections, so cooperation through negotiation would be easier.

Our Uchiha clan only needs to form an inspection squad to ensure these newly-recruited officers don't abuse their authority, knowingly break the law, pursue personal gain, or damage our reputation.

We're shifting from managing an entire village to managing just two units, which significantly reduces our workload. Most importantly, if mistakes are made, we can punish those responsible and provide explanations to the villagers—something we couldn't do before.

Of course, we must also reward those who perform well. Every year, each region should establish role models.

And we won't need too many people either. Personally, I suggest using some ninken as assistants to gather intelligence, then have our personnel verify the information. We must ensure no innocent suffers and no criminal goes unpunished."

Elder Fukasaku and Third Elder did not object this time. To them, Shiyu Uchiha was merely a mouthpiece for Uchiha Shizhi—acting solely under the latter's guidance to train and develop Shiyu Uchiha.

As for Elder Ni, after careful consideration, he believed this arrangement would help integrate the Uchiha clan into Konoha, so he decided to observe developments before making any move.

"So let's entrust this task to Sujin Uchiha. What do you all think?" concluded Uchiha Shizhi.

Sujin Uchiha was the clan's internal intelligence officer—the most outstanding talent in that field. He also maintained excellent relations with the ninken clan, making him perfectly suited for this responsibility. Naturally, no one opposed this assignment.

Finally, during the clan meeting, it was decided that those Uchiha who hadn't awakened their eyes and possessed weaker abilities would be dispatched to manage the clan's properties, lending a hand in building the clan's foundation. Meanwhile, the more powerful ninjas would form an escort unit responsible for ensuring the safety of Uchiha trade caravans, as the clan's business operations had expanded significantly and required more manpower and resources.

With everything decided, everyone got up and walked out of the meeting hall. Due to Uchiha Shizhi's close watch, Shiyu Uchiha had no opportunity to cause trouble or target someone. In the end, he had no choice but to obediently return home together with Uchiha Shizhi.

The next day, the Uchiha Clan swiftly sprang into action. After those elite members were reassigned, the First Security Task Force under the Police Department was quickly reorganized. With that powerful troublemaker gone, reforming the department's conduct issues faced minimal resistance.

At the same time, the Uchiha Clan started inviting numerous personnel who had just returned from frontline duty to join the Security Task Force. Because of the clan's outstanding performance during the war, those invited weren't necessarily high-level experts but rather people with more meticulous minds.

Moreover, the Uchiha Clan's reputation had not yet deteriorated to the extreme due to the Nine-Tails' Rampage and the joint rumors spread by the F4. Therefore, under the attraction of excellent welfare benefits, the ranks of commoner officers were soon largely replenished. The clan also invited a Tokubetsu Jonin recently returned from battlefield service to serve as captain of the force. Naturally, the key factor was that this individual maintained very good relations with the Uchiha Clan.

These individuals had long been tempered by the harsh realities of life and became extremely tactful in their dealings with others. Under the supervision of the inspection squad led by Sujin Uchiha, together with Shiyu Uchiha, they handled several troublemakers, even making an example of one person whose offenses were particularly serious by imprisoning them and posting an official bulletin for all to see.

Uchiha Shizhi placed fairness at the core of law enforcement while also considering human nature, ensuring everything remained open and transparent. All punishment results were made public along with explanations about which laws had been broken so people could accept these decisions without doubt or suspicion, preventing rumor-mongering.

Additionally, an anonymous suggestion box was specially established to collect villagers' opinions and receive complaints.

In the early stages, Shiyu Uchiha personally handled several cases himself, setting an example for others and earning significant prestige for himself. This helped improve the Police Department's reputation somewhat, though most people remained watching closely.

This resulted in the unit responsible for recruiting ninja clan members failing to reach even one-third of its target recruitment level. With no other choice, Shiyu Uchiha took matters into his own hands, reaching out to several good friends from small ninja clans, asking them to support him by serving as squad leaders temporarily while they recruited team members themselves. Their patrol zones would be located near their respective family territories.

Just then, with the war over, the village's low-rank missions had already drawn many competing applicants. Thus, upon being invited by Shiyu Uchiha, these individuals readily accepted the roles. The key point was that if someone found it unsuitable, the agreement could be unilaterally terminated simply by informing the other party timely.

Even Shiyu Uchiha considered trying to rope in Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki to help him as well, but like himself, these two spent most of their time training and simply didn't have time.

Eventually, Shiyu Uchiha thought about the pair of Lily Sisters and the Senju Clan, which had been divided into many pieces. He had an idea in mind, though he needed tacit approval from one person first—he was fairly confident he could secure that approval.

Several days later, during a visit to Mito Uzumaki, Shiyu Uchiha raised his request. After thinking briefly, Mito told him to go home and wait for news. His heart raced with excitement—he knew the matter was settled. What remained now was merely the question of how many recruits they could ultimately bring into the Police Department.

As expected, three days later, members from smaller ninja families started showing up at the Police Department one by one to sign up. This went on for several days before finally tapering off. Shiyu Uchiha tallied up the numbers and found they had recruited over thirty individuals. Combined with the people he'd personally recruited, there were now enough hands to handle patrol duties near the Uchiha district. Satisfied, he gave a nod and went to report his progress to Uchiha Shizhi.
