Naruto: I Became Tsunade's Husband and Took Over Konoha Chapter 94: Reforms

Uchiha Ryun stood up amidst the applause of the crowd and began his speech.

"Thanks to the trust of the clan leader and our clansn, I, Uchiha Ryun, will do my best as the head of the Security Force. However, I must make one thing clear first. From now on, the mbers of the Security Force will not be limited to only our Uchiha clan."

The first half of his statent made everyone nod with smiles, but the second half caused so clansn to frown. Due to Uchiha Ryun’s authority and strength, no one dared to openly oppose him.

Uchiha Hirotomo simply closed his eyes. This was no longer his responsibility. Now, he only managed clan affairs and not the village, making his workload much lighter.

As for Ryun’s plans, it would depend on his own abilities.

Uchiha Ryun swept his gaze across the room, taking in everyone’s reactions. He smirked coldly and said, "Do you know why the villagers used to dislike us so much?"

The crowd replied, "We don’t know."

Uchiha Ryun chuckled. "If you were villagers or street vendors, would you be happy if the Security Force drove you away? The villagers just want to earn so money, but they get punished for ’disturbing public order.’ Do you expect them to reflect on themselves?"

"Also, when dealing with troublemakers, how do we arrest them? With a cold face, issuing warnings, and if they don’t comply, resorting to force? Yes, we’re following regulations, but do those people care about that?"

After Uchiha Ryun finished speaking, the clansn were no longer as stubborn as before. Instead, they began to think carefully.

"All of you are law-abiding citizens, and we know that. But enforcing the law will inevitably make so people unhappy or rebellious. At that point, we must consider whether the law is more important or human sentint."

"Here, I must emphasize—the law is more important! But procedures, enforcent thods, and attitudes are equally important!"

Uchiha Ryun used many new terms that the Uchiha didn’t fully understand, but they found them impressive nonetheless.

"Enforcing the law will always offend those who break it. In the past, we just arrested people and took them away without a word. With so many villagers watching, how would they know what you’re doing? After arresting soone, you say nothing, holding your heads high as if you’re proud. What are you trying to prove?"

At this point, Uchiha Ryun slamd the table loudly.

Clan leader Uchiha Hirotomo swallowed nervously and glanced at Uchiha Ryun cautiously, thinking to himself, Brother, take it easy.

The Uchiha clansn lowered their heads in silence because Uchiha Ryun’s words perfectly described their past behavior.

"I don’t care how you enforced the law before. From now on, listen carefully. When arresting soone, first identify yourselves. Later, I’ll issue each of you an officer’s badge. Show it before making an arrest!"

"Then loudly announce the suspect’s cri so everyone knows that we, the Uchiha, are handling a case, arresting criminals, and standing on the side of the people. Understood?"

"Furthermore, no violent enforcent! Every operation must involve at least two people—one to supervise and one to enforce. If I catch anyone using violence, they’re fired!"

Uchiha Ryun’s tone was rough, unlike Uchiha Hirotomo’s.

But this rough attitude effectively instilled fear and respect.

At this mont, an Uchiha jonin stepped forward. "Sixth Elder! Your earlier points are about internal reforms, and we agree. But what did you an when you said the Security Force won’t be limited to the Uchiha?"

Uchiha Ryun nodded and smiled. "I know. Everyone thinks the Security Force was created by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, specifically for the Uchiha."

"But have you ever considered—that old man who always called the Uchiha ’inherently evil,’ was he really that generous?"

"Enforcing the law ans making enemies. The power is imnse. If only one clan monopolizes it, not only will the villagers resent us, but other clans won’t accept it either. You take all the at and leave nothing for others?"

"Do you think you’re Uchiha Madara?" Uchiha Ryun openly ntioned Madara’s na, causing the crowd to gasp in shock, their eyes flashing with guilt.

In the Land of Water

Uchiha Madara sneezed and frowned. "The weather’s getting cold. Black Zetsu! Go chop firewood!"

"Yes, Lord Madara!" Black Zetsu then sank into the ground and disappeared.

Back at the Clan eting

Uchiha Ryun scanned the crowd. "Since the power of law enforcent is great but also creates many enemies, let other clans join in to share the burden. We’ll retain the top leadership and ensure over half of the mbers are our own."

"So might worry about clansn losing their jobs. The solution is simple. I’ll apply to the Hokage for expanded temporary positions. These will have the sa benefits as official ones but serve as auxiliary officers. Later, the clan will encourage entrepreneurship. When the ti is right, we’ll either promote these temporary officers or transition them into business."

Before implenting reforms, Uchiha Ryun had already considered many aspects. The Security Force was indeed a privilege granted to the Uchiha by the Second Hokage, but monopolizing it without sharing any benefits was detrintal to unity.

Thus, he explained everything at the clan eting first. Any objections had to be raised openly, not whispered behind his back later.

The Uchiha shinobi exchanged glances. The Sixth Elder’s plan was thorough, and they couldn’t find any flaws. The reasoning was clear.

Power would still remain with the Uchiha, but so official positions would be given to other clans. Existing Security Force mbers would lose their official status but retain their benefits.

After so thought, they realized this was all for the clan’s sake. One by one, they raised their hands in agreent. Once the proposal was reported to Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi the next day, Uchiha Ryun would officially take office as the head of the Uchiha Security Force—no, the Konoha Security Force!

The eting lasted until midnight. After rewards were given and promotions announced, everyone finally left the hall.

Uchiha Hirotomo smiled and said, "Ryun, is it really impossible for the Security Force to remain entirely under our control?"

"Clan Leader Hirotomo, I understand your feelings. But the truth is, monopolizing power never ends well. Surely, as clan leader, you understand this better than I do?" Uchiha Ryun’s gaze carried a hint of suspicion.

How did you even beco clan leader if you don’t grasp such a basic principle?

Uchiha Hirotomo did understand—better than anyone. But power was intoxicating. Having complete control over legislation, enforcent, and judgnt within the Uchiha clan was an unmatched privilege.

He was just pretending to be ignorant. Sighing, he patted Uchiha Ryun’s shoulder.

"Ryun, I’ll leave the future of the Uchiha to you. As for those who bullied you before, I’ve already had them arrested. You decide how to deal with them."

Uchiha Ryun glanced at him, surprised. Truthfully, the recent war and negotiations had made him forget about the original host’s bullying.

He hadn’t expected Uchiha Hirotomo to rember and even offer him the chance to handle it.

"Clan Leader Hirotomo, you’ve planned this well. Then, have those shinobi exiled to the borders to guard Konoha’s frontiers," Uchiha Ryun said with a smile.

"That’s it?" Uchiha Hirotomo had thought Ryun would personally punish or even kill them. But this was the result?

"What else? Kill them? That’s unnecessary. Let them train hard at the borders. Maybe one day, they’ll bring glory to the Uchiha!" Uchiha Ryun laughed.

Indeed, the higher one’s position, the broader their perspective. Uchiha Hirotomo felt both pleased and conflicted. In so ways, Ryun seed more suited to be clan leader than he was.
