Even if their minds were simple, they knew that Elder Jin's parents were once staunch loyalists of Uchiha Kagami.
Even though they didn't personally kill Elder Jin's parents, they could vaguely sense that their leader, Uchiha Setsuna, was secretly behind it.
In this situation, Elder Jin and their leader were absolute mortal enemies!
Uchiha Jin's actions just now further proved that their thoughts were correct.
So, what to do?
Although they were certain that Elder Jin's abilities were good, if he became the Police Chief, then it was possible he truly had the ability to solve the Police Force's reputation problem.
But... the Police Force was the stronghold of the radical faction. To let Elder Jin, someone who had a grudge with the radical faction's leader, take the position...
If they agreed, how would they explain it to their leader, Uchiha Setsuna?
"I agree!"
Just at this critical moment, Uchiha Tekka was the first to speak.
After he finished speaking, he even turned to look at the others and said in a low voice, "My fellow clansmen, stop fighting!"
"The Uchiha's enemies are too strong. If even we within are not united, then we will collapse on our own without the village needing to act."
"Let's unite. Only then will there be hope."
"Since Elder Jin has this ability, why shouldn't we support him?"
The others fell silent.
After some thought, they all began to nod.
Yes.
Except for the true high-ranking members, the minds of the Uchiha were generally very simple.
As long as the Uchiha could become great again, for the glory of the Uchiha, they were even willing to give their lives.
Since Elder Jin had this ability, just as Tekka said, why shouldn't they support him?
Meanwhile, on the other side, Fugaku finally showed a faint smile after seeing this scene.
"Good, very good!"
"Since everyone unanimously agrees, I now solemnly announce that from now on, as the Clan Leader, I will only be responsible for the general direction of the clan."
"As for the Police Force, it will be fully entrusted to Elder Jin."
He was truly very happy.
Clearly, Fugaku also understood that his experience in power struggles was lacking.
The increasingly dismal reputation of the Uchiha during his years in charge of the Police Force was enough to prove this point!
Before, there was nothing he could do!
Now that there was an expert like Uchiha Jin, he naturally had no desire to suffer in the position of Police Chief.
Everyone present also applauded.
Then, when they looked at Uchiha Jin, their eyes were filled with reverence and awe.
Yes.
From this moment on, Uchiha Jin began to change.
If the previous Uchiha Jin, despite having a string of titles, was actually just a figurehead, a mascot, then from today on, everything began to change.
Uchiha Jin would become a true power player.
If he wished, it wouldn't take long for him to gather a force comparable to the radical faction.
Uchiha Jin: "..."
He was stunned.
He had only been lost in thought for a moment, how could such a big change suddenly happen?
Police Chief?
Just having the title was fine, but if he actually had to work, he didn't want to!
He could get stronger by quietly staying at home; who would want to go to work?
If he had transmigrated to a historical or low-martial world, gaining power would certainly be a pleasant surprise.
But this was the world of Naruto!
In a world that values individual strength, power was truly dispensable.
What's more, his system advocated for being a 'lying flat' slacker, and he himself was a shut-in.
"This isn't necessary, is it?"
"I can just have the title. How can I snatch it from the Clan Leader?"
"The Police Chief is also held by the Clan Leader, right?"
Uchiha Jin's mouth twitched.
Without any hesitation, he immediately wanted to get rid of it.
However, Fugaku immediately spoke when he heard this.
"Since the founding of Konoha, the Police Force has been the Uchiha's exclusive territory, and the position of Chief is entirely decided by the Uchiha internally."
"Since all Uchiha agree, and it was my proposal as Clan Leader, Jin-kun doesn't need to feel pressured."
"Do as you think best. Whether you succeed or not, the clan will not blame you."
"Actually, to be honest, it's also because my ability as Clan Leader is limited. Since taking over the Police Force, I haven't made any achievements; instead, its reputation has gotten worse and worse."
"But I believe Jin-kun has this ability, so I'm entrusting the Police Force to you."
Fugaku's expression was serious.
His tone was very earnest, and after speaking, he even bowed slightly.
For a Clan Leader to bow to Jin was giving him considerable face.
Indeed, as Fugaku bowed, the other Uchiha, though silent, also bowed slightly in salute.
Uchiha Jin's face was covered in black lines.
His exposure of the Mangekyo Sharingan was already enough to make Sarutobi Hiruzen nervous.
If he also took control of the Police Force, then perhaps in the next second, Root would be monitoring him 24/7.
At that time, who knew what methods Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo Shimura would use to deal with him.
But there was nothing he could do!
Fugaku, as the Uchiha Clan Leader, had already said so much.
He even admitted his shortcomings, and his posture was so humble.
If he refused again, it would truly be a bit unreasonable.
This... sigh, never mind.
After a helpless sigh, he rubbed his temples and could only reluctantly say, "Clan Leader, you... really don't need to do this!"
