Chapter 15: Chapter Fifteen: Unqualified Patriarch, Qualified Father!



"Lord Hokage, Uchiha Fugaku is here~"

"Let him in~"

Upon hearing the report from outside the door, Hokori didn't hesitate and allowed him in. Uchiha Fugaku, who was still worried, calmed slightly upon hearing the lack of anger in Hokori's tone. He carefully opened the door and walked into the office.

Looking at Hokori sitting in the office—the man who took the Hokage seat with swift action—Uchiha Fugaku dared not entertain any small thoughts. He spoke seriously, "Lord Hokage, is there anything you need from the Uchiha clan?"

"Don't worry, we, the Uchiha clan, have always been a part of Konoha Village! We will definitely work hard to cooperate!"

As Uchiha Fugaku spoke, Hokori raised his head and observed Fugaku in front of him. Observing Fugaku's behavior today, Hokori sighed helplessly. The Uchiha clan is a proud family. Except for Uchiha Madara, no one else thought about what to do. They just hoped that one day someone could become Hokage to change the current situation in Konoha for the clan. As a result, they were forced to climb under Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, and now the whole Uchiha family had been smoothed out. Uchiha Fugaku, as the patriarch and a genius who could open the Mangekyō, had been molded into this humble appearance.

"Patriarch Fugaku, there's no need to be so restrained~ As a member of Konoha, the Uchiha clan will be treated equally!"

Listening to Hokori's words, although Uchiha Fugaku was very surprised, he still did not relax. After all, there was the old fox Sarutobi Hiruzen, who smiled to his face and promised to change his attitude towards the Uchiha clan, only to let Danzo spread rumors. As a result, the villagers of Konoha shunned the Uchiha clan's guards like the plague, with no one daring to approach or wanting to see them.

Seeing this, Hokori knew that words alone would be useless. The status quo of the Uchiha clan required fundamental change.

"Clan Chief Fugaku, do you have anything to say about the current situation of your Uchiha clan? Now the era of Sarutobi Hiruzen is over~ If you have anything to say, just say it!"

That being the case, Hokori directly threw the question to Uchiha Fugaku. Regarding the current situation of the Uchiha clan, if changes aren't made, it will be their downfall sooner or later. He wanted to see if the patriarch had any ideas.

When Fugaku heard the words, countless inexplicable lights flashed in his eyes. Looking at the calm Hokori in front of him, Fugaku's heart was frantically entangled. Should he trust the Hokori in front of him? Although the current Fourth Hokage had overturned all the policies of the Third Hokage since coming into power, it also directly wiped out the families of the Third Hokage and Danzo. Fugaku couldn't make up his mind for a while.

After a moment of silence, Fugaku tentatively said, "Lord Hokage, our Uchiha clan is doing well~ If Lord Hokage needs it, we, the Uchiha clan, would like to contribute!"

Hearing this sentence, Hokori couldn't help looking deeply at Fugaku. With a deep gaze, Fugaku's heart began to beat crazily, and the whole office fell silent. The atmosphere seemed a bit tense.

But soon Hokori said, "In that case, please go back, Chief Fugaku~ Since your Uchiha clan is good~ then continue to maintain the status quo!"

After all, Hokori waved his hand, and several Anbu appeared in an instant to signal that Fugaku could leave.

Facing the current situation, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but feel a sudden shock. If the current Uchiha clan truly continues to maintain the status quo, then they really can't stay in Konoha anymore. The proud Uchiha had now been squeezed to the edge of Konoha. Along with the Konoha Guard, the commoners of Konoha also complained about the Uchiha clan. Maintaining the status quo is like boiling a frog in warm water, and before long, the Uchiha clan will only decline more and more.

Thinking of this, Fugaku hastily changed his words: "Lord Hokage, I was wrong! Our Uchiha clan is in this situation~ Please, Lord Hokage, guide us!"

After saying that, he fell directly to the ground. Seeing this, the corners of Hokori's mouth curled into a smile. Now, the Uchiha family could completely settle down.

But before that, Hokori stared at Fugaku quietly: "Then, there are only two roads in front of you now, Chief Fugaku~ Do you want a thriving Uchiha clan that develops together with Konoha~ or do you want to maintain the status quo until the entire Uchiha clan falls into the abyss?"

Faced with this problem, how could Uchiha Fugaku hesitate at this time? This is not a multiple-choice question, and if you choose wrong, it's over. He immediately chose the first way.

"Smart choice~"

"Now the surrounding countries have begun to move around. When you go back, send the hawk members of your Uchiha clan to perform missions~ And Uchiha, whose heart is towards Konoha, can gradually delegate power~"

"At the same time, send Uchiha Kagami's descendant Shisui and your son Uchiha Itachi to me. I will accept them and become my disciples to teach them~ The next Hokage will be born between them~"

At first, upon hearing Hokori's order, Uchiha Fugaku was still a bit impatient. It is said that the hawks are sent out to perform tasks, but in reality, they are sent to die in disguise. But these people clamored every day to seize power and overthrow the rule of Konoha, and Fugaku couldn't say much about it.

After hearing Hokori's words, Uchiha Fugaku almost doubted his ears, wondering if he heard it wrong. Looking at Hokori's serious expression, it didn't seem like a joke at all. Fugaku suddenly fell into ecstasy. It can be said that as a patriarch, Uchiha Fugaku is not qualified enough, but as a father, Uchiha Fugaku is qualified. Knowing that his son will be accepted as a disciple by Hokage and has a chance to become Hokage, at this time, Fugaku didn't care so much and hurriedly said: "Yes! I'll go back and make arrangements!"

After that, he wanted to go home as soon as possible, afraid that if he delayed, Hokori in front of him would change his mind. Watching the impatient Uchiha Fugaku, Hokori smiled and waved his hand. Since we want to change the status quo of the Uchiha clan, just this is not enough.

"Don't worry, after you go back, your Uchiha clan can move the clan land back to the previous place~ Staying away from Konoha Center is not a long-term solution after all~"

"What?! Is it really possible, Fourth Hokage?!"

Upon receiving this message, Fugaku let out an exclamation, and his whole face was full of disbelief. Seeing that Hokori wasn't joking and even had the paperwork ready, as Fugaku carefully took the document, he fell to his knees on the ground in an instant.

"Fourth Hokage!! Please rest assured! From now on, the Uchiha clan will definitely stand by your side! We will serve you to the death!"

This series of policies made Uchiha Fugaku bow instantly, in total surrender.

"Okay, there's no need for polite words~"

"There is also the Konoha Guard. I will send some civilians to join in the future, and what you have to do~"

"It is to divide the Uchiha in the Konoha garrison into two teams. One team is internal, selecting Uchiha people with gentle personalities to handle internal disputes in Konoha~"

"The first class is external. I don't need to say more about this class; just keep the true colors of your Uchiha clan! This is the only way to change the reputation of your Uchiha clan little by little!"

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku seemed to have opened up a new world, looking at Hokori with more and more admiration.

"As expected of Lord Hokage! I'll go back and start making arrangements!"

With Uchiha Fugaku gone, Hokori was also completely relaxed. With the problem of the Uchiha clan solved, his Konoha should be the strongest in the world. Thinking of this, Hokori suddenly felt better, then he left the Hokage building alone and went to the Senju clan's compound.
