Chapter 104: Going Out Again

Danzo and Fugaku were in tit-for-tat confrontation.

Che saw that the silent Sarutobi Hiruzen beside Danzo was Danzo's confidence.

However, Fugaku also had confidence. He said: "Now is a war period. The police force should help Konoha solve its problems. Some of its forces can be allocated to support the front line. Konoha also needs the power of Uchiha."

Upon seeing this, Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "I propose that the Hyuga clan lead the reinforcements, while Uchiha stays in Konoha to garrison."

Sarutobi Hiruzen then looked at Hyuga Tokuyo and asked, "Does the Hyuga clan still have enough strength to lead the army?"

Hyuga Deyang spoke up and said: "Although the clan leader and some clan members are stationed at the northeastern defense line, the Hyuga clan is a major clan of Konoha, so naturally they still have the ability to command reinforcements and share the worries of Konoha."

Fugaku immediately spoke out and confronted Hyuga Tokuyō, "What can the Hyuga clan do when they go to the front line? It's not just to see a few more kilometers, then it's better to bring a few more pairs of telescopes."

"Uchiha Fugaku! Don't be too arrogant!"

Hyuga Tokuyo's son Hyuga Tsukisho stood up and slapped the table, pointed at Fugaku and yelled angrily.

Fugaku crossed his arms, his three Magatama Sharingan revealed, and his aura was so fierce that he instantly frightened Hinata Yusei.

Fugaku ignored Hinata Tsukisho, a junior, and said to Hinata Tokuyō: "Our Uchiha clan is very powerful. We are all elite ninjas and have many talented people."

"Did you know that Che beside me once defeated the Eight-Tails of Hidden Cloud Village? The newly developed ninjutsu is even more powerful at the tailed beast jade level."

Fugaku pulled Che out, and Che, who was originally watching, was inexplicably pulled into the war of words.

Just when Uchiha and Hinata were tit-for-tat and the scene became tense for a time, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and took out the Hokage's majesty and said: "What are you talking about? What is this place?"

"One slaps the table and the other glares, why don't you just use your mouth."

"Okay, I've already thought about it. This time we will reinforce the southeast. Minato will be the commander-in-chief, and the Hinata and Uchiha clan will jointly assist and lead two thousand ninjas to consolidate the southeast defense line."

Danzo on the side planned to retort, saying: "The Uchiha clan cannot go to the front line, they..."

"That's enough, Danzo, I am the Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words made Danzo hold back his words.

"Half of the Konoha police force will stay behind, and the other half will follow the troops to the front line."

"The remaining police task vacancies will be temporarily filled by issuing tasks."

Fugaku said with satisfaction: "Thank you, Hokage-sama, for making it happen."

Fugaku glanced at Che next to him and smiled.

"Sure enough, it was right to bring Che here. The higher-ups are indeed afraid of Che's strength."

Sarutobi Hiruzen then announced the list of other jounin who had been chosen, and then the meeting dispersed.

Che followed Fugaku towards the Uchiha station.

"Che, this time our Uchiha clan can go to the front line as a clan unit. Do you know what it means?"

"Meritorious service." Che answered Fugaku's sudden question.

"More than that, after making meritorious service, we can prove that Uchiha can not only do a good job as a police force, but also be qualified for other tasks. In this way, we can break the shackles placed on the Uchiha clan during this second generation period." Fugaku's eyes were full of hope.

But Che didn't agree with this idea in his heart.

This time it was indeed a concession from Konoha's top brass.

After all, it was a time of war, and Konoha really needed Uchiha's power.

After this honeymoon period, the higher-ups will definitely find ways to continue to restrict Uchiha to the police force.

There is a high probability that the ancestral method cannot be used as a reason, and it will continue to weaken and exclude Uchiha.

This time Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and became a good guy, but that may not be the case after that.

With Danzo's thinking and methods, he is probably thinking about how to deal with Uchiha right now.

However, Che did not express his inner thoughts. He nodded silently, as if agreeing with Fugaku's point of view.

Fugaku came to the Uchiha station, and first came to his home to invite Che to discuss the expedition.

Uchiha Mikoto made tea for the two of them, and Fugaku and Che sat on the tatami, drinking tea and talking.

At this time, Uchiha Itachi, who was only two years old, came over.

"Hello, brother Che."

Uchiha Itachi smiled, and his delicate face made it difficult to distinguish between male and female for a moment.

"Hello."

Che turned around and said hello.

Mikoto quickly came over and took Itachi away. She educated Itachi and said, "Itachi, don't disturb Dad and Brother Che's discussion."

Itachi nodded obediently and said, "I know mom, I just went to say hello."

Mikoto smiled softly and poked Itachi's forehead, "I know you are sensible."

Seeing this look of motherly kindness and filial piety, Che couldn't help but sigh: "When you have a son, you should be like Uchiha Itachi. Captain, your son is really outstanding."

"You're so young, what can you tell?"

"Three years old is a big deal."

"Hahaha, Itachi is only two years old. Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Che, what kind of clansmen do you think we should send to the front line to support us." Fugaku brought the topic back and asked Che for his opinion: "I I want to transfer all the elites, what do you think?"

Che understood that Fugaku was eager to make meritorious deeds, but he stopped after thinking for a moment.

"Captain, this is inappropriate."

"Why?"

"Although this will give us more room to play on the battlefield, the strength of the Konoha police force will be too empty."

"Once there is an accident in the village, the top leaders, especially Danzo, will definitely take the opportunity to attack, which will be disadvantageous to Uchiha."

Fugaku is also a smart man and soon realized this. "Indeed, this is indeed something that Danzo can do."

"Given the current situation of Uchiha, it is more important to be blameless than to be meritorious. Alas."

Fugaku sighed and showed a disappointed look.

Seeing this, Che said: "We can allocate half of the Genin, Chunin and Jonin in proportion, so that we can form a multi-level force on the battlefield, and it can also give the younger generation of Uchiha enough experience. This may not be a bad thing."

Fugaku nodded and said: "Since we can't send out all the elite, then this is the best way."

"I will list the list of people going to the battle tonight. Do you have any requirements to note?"

Che smiled and said: "Take Tiehuo and Tonghuo with you. They are my subordinates."

"Don't worry, they are not members of the police force and can form a team freely." Fugaku raised his hand slightly and said.

"In this case, I don't have any requirements."

So Che and Fugaku parted ways.

The next day, Fugaku announced the list, and the Uchiha clan members were eagerly waiting.

All the ninjas of the Uchiha clan wanted to go to the battlefield to make achievements, so those who were not selected were quite disappointed, while those who were selected were excited.

As for Che, he stayed at Hong's house for the last day before the expedition.

After that, Che went on another expedition, this time heading to the southeast of the Land of Fire.
