Naruto: Konoha's Kanpu

Chapter 728: Both Problems Must Be Solved

Feeling dazed and swaying…

Walking out from Hokage Residence, Fugaku seemed to have lost his mind and walked towards the clan’s residence like a zombie.

There are two voices arguing in his mind, one called Advisor and the other called Military Police Force’s Captain.

Military Police Force’s Captain said: ‘I am the Captain. I am the biggest in the team. I go to work when I want to and sleep when I want to. I have a lot of Elite Shinobi under me.’

The Advisor said: ‘I work five days and off two days, from 9 to 5, have a provident fund, and all subordinates are all civil servants who can support me.

Military Police Force’s Captain said: I have the power to formulate public security regulations in the village.

The Advisor said: The regulations you make needs my approval to be implemented.

Military Police Force’s Captain said: I have the right to arrest civilians and Shinobi with criminal tendencies in the village, except for Anbu’s Shinobi!

The Advisor said: ‘I can give advice on everything in the village, including the Anbu and Military Police Force.’

Military Police Force’s Captain said: I can appoint and remove anyone in the team at will!

The Advisor said: I have the right to recommend the next Hokage candidate and cast my precious Advisor’s vote!

Military Police Force’s Captain said: …You fucking bully!

The Advisor said: I have been bullying you for so long, and you only learn this now?

Just as the Advisor was gloating at the Military Police Force’s Captain, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Fugaku.

“Clan Head Kanpū?” Fugaku came back to his senses and looked at the visitor with a calm expression.

Although Kanpū is a lot younger than Fugaku, Kanpū is still the Clan Head of Gekko Clan after all. Although Fugaku doesn’t think highly of this small family.

“Clan Head-sama, it’s me!” ‘Kanpū’ said excitedly.

Fugaku was startled, and then he remembered what Minato said just now, and asked tentatively: “Shisui?”

“Clan Head-sama, has Hokage-sama mentioned it to you?” Shisui asked excitedly.

Fugaku nodded steadily and said: “At seven o'clock in the evening, I will call the clan members to gather at Naka Shrine. I will announce your affairs at that time, remember not to be late.”

“Yes!”

…

After Shisui left, Fugaku continued to move forward, but he was troubled again before taking two steps.

Exchanging the position of Military Police Force’s Captain for the Advisor Position, no matter how he looks at it, it was Fugaku who made the profit!

Once he becomes an Advisor, it is equivalent to having one foot, no, two feet, in the upper echelons of the village. From now on, Fugaku can interfere in all affairs of the village in just and honorable way. This is what he, and even the entire Uchiha clan, have dreamed for many years!

But the problem is, the Military Police Force has equally extraordinary significance to the Uchiha Clan!

In Konoha, when someone mentioned Military Police Force, they will think of Uchiha Clan. When they mention Uchiha Clan, they will also think of Military Police Force. For decades, Military Police Force has been closely related to Uchiha Clan.

And now that Minato wanted to make Kakashi the Military Police Force’s Captain, it is not just as simple as being a Captain.

Not surprisingly, after Kakashi becomes the Captain, Kakashi will definitely add non-Uchiha to the Military Police Force until he completely cut off the ‘bond’ between Uchiha Clan and the Military Police Force!

If this happens then, the Military Police Force will be Konoha’s Military Police Force, not Uchiha Clan’s Military Police Force anymore.

By then, if Minato dismissed his Advisor Position for unfounded reasons, then won’t his Uchiha Clan lose everything?

Fugaku immediately shook his head: ‘No, Yondaime is not such a person.’

‘If he wanted to burn the bridge after crossing the river, he wouldn't resort to such shameless means.’

But thinking about Danzo’s fate, Fugaku couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild.

When he got home, it was already evening. Mikoto had already returned home and was preparing dinner.

Not long after, Sasuke also came back, making a fuss and asking for a shuriken training with his brother.

During the meal, Fugaku sat cross-legged at the head seat, but his mind is wandering.

Itachi sat on one side, his mind is also wandering.

Sasuke looked left and right. He is keenly aware of the subtle atmosphere at the dinner table, so he immediately behaved like a good boy and lowered his head to eat in silence.

“There will be a meeting at Naka Shrine at seven o'clock. Remember not to be late.” Fugaku left a few words after finishing his meal and got up and went to the study room, ready to continue brainstorming.

……

The other side of the village.

After the single dog Kakashi finished enjoying the supreme deluxe version of the pickled beef-flavored dinner, he lazily walked to the balcony, leaned his back against the railing, then took out ‘Icha-Icha Paradise’ and started reading it.

“Meow~”

At this moment, a black-spotted cat suddenly jumped up from downstairs, squatting on the corner of the balcony railing and staring at him.

After a while, another fat orange cat jumped up from the other side.

Two stray cats, one on the left and one on the right, block Kakashi in the middle, and meow together.

Kakashi seems to be already accustomed to it. He squinted his one eye and still looked at the little yellow book in his hand, feeling content.

“Kakashi!” Suddenly, a familiar voice came from downstairs.

“Minato-sensei?”

Kakashi quietly stuffed the little yellow book into his ninja bag, turned around and found that Minato was downstairs.

With a flicker of yellow flash, Minato had already come to the balcony, and said with a smile: “Kakashi, I didn’t expect you to have a cat.”

“Meow!”

“Meow~”

When the two stray cats meet Minato, they became very excited and meowed docilely.

Kakashi shrugged helplessly, wanting to explain but not knowing where to start, so he changed the subject and asked Minato what he wanted from him.

Minato leaned on the balcony railing, admiring the afterglow of the setting sun, and said his intention casually: “Kakashi, I would like to ask you to serve as the Military Police Force’s Captain.”

“What?” Kakashi exclaimed in shock!

‘Military Police Force’s Captain?’

‘Will Clan Head Fugaku agree?’

‘Even if Clan Head Fugaku agrees, will Uchiha Clan agree?’

Kakashi touched his left eye: ‘The Uchiha Clan can’t just treat me like as one of them just because I have a Sharingan, right?’

“Minato-sensei, what’s going on?” Kakashi didn’t think Minato would talk nonsense, so he asked seriously.

“I have invited Clan Head Fugaku to serve as an Advisor, so…” Minato smiled at Kakashi.

Kakashi can’t help but laughed: “Minato-sensei, you're putting me on a shelf to roast.”

Even if Fugaku really becomes an Advisor, it doesn’t mean that Kakashi can successfully hold the position of Military Police Force’s Captain, after all, Uchiha Clan has always been united and exclusive.

If he, an outsider, suddenly appeared as their Captain, he might be tricked into something by them.

Kakashi is so lazy, and didn’t want to enter this hole, so he rolled his eye and recommended: “Minato-sensei, it's better to let Kanpū go.”

‘Poor guy.’

Kakashi’s eye looks sincere.

Minato shook his head and said: “Kanpū is the Gekko Clan’s Clan Head and is not suitable for the position of Military Police Force’s Captain.”

Kakashi was stunned for a moment and asked: “Minato-sensei, are you worried that Gekko Clan will become the next Uchiha Clan?”

Minato nodded. Since he took office, he has encountered many problems, two of which are particularly troublesome for him!

The first is Danzo and Root.

As an Advisor, Danzo already holds a high position with great authority, and such a person also has the legal Root that is not weaker than Anbu, which belongs directly to himself.

The second problem is the Uchiha Clan and Military Police Force.

In Konoha, whether it is Hokage’s Position, Advisor Position, or other departments, they are all iron-clad positions with regular personnel, but only the Military Police Force has been held by Uchiha Clan for so many years!

The two are about to merge together and form a village of their own. If they are not separated as soon as possible, they will become a disaster sooner or later.

Now that Danzo has stepped down, an Advisor Position has just become vacant. Using this position as a bait may solve the second problem in one fell swoop.

Minato looked Kakashi with a smile.

Kakashi smiled bitterly and said: “In that case, I will try my best.”
