Chapter 137: Crisis Public Rtions
Konohas Military Police Forces building.
After a morning of publicity, arge number of vigers gathered from all directions. Among them, many of them were family members of the victims. With red eyes, they could not wait to rush up to demolish the Military Police Forces building!
As for the other vigers, their faces are full of resentment, and their expressions are full of dissatisfaction with the Military Police Force.
Not long after, Uchiha n''s n Head, Uchiha Tengoku walked out of the Military Police Forces building step by step. He was slender, with white temples, a wrinkled face, and a trace of undisguised sadness in his cloudy eyes.
Behind him, Uchiha Fugaku followed. He has already understood about the crisis public rtions from Tengoku, so his expression is in ce, with a bit of perseverance and self-me in his sadness, which perfectly exins what an actor is.
"Everyone"
Tengoku immediately do a ny-degree bow, and it took half a minute before he raised his head again. At this time, his eyes were already red, and the tears from the corners of his eyes were flowing along his wrinkles, which made people feel heartbroken when they saw this.
"Everyone, I''m very sorry! Because of the ipetence of the Military Police Force, the spy incident resulted in 3 deaths and 14 injuries. The Military Police Force''s responsibility cannot be shied away, and will never be shied away!"
Tengoku said with an expression of pain, We, the Military Police Force will be responsible for all the losses in this incident! For the family members of the deceased, we will
Tengoku presented thepensation n that he negotiated with the three eldersst night, and at the same time, he tried his best to appear in difficult situation and old, but his tone became more and more sincere in order to win more sympathy and support from the vigers.
Although there were cries from the families of the dead from time to time at the scene, and the voices trying to discredit them in the crowd, there are also many vigers who kept nodding their heads: The Military Police Force actually bear the responsibility, it seems that the Military Police Force''s conscience is not bad.
They were gradually persuaded by Tengokus speech, and their stance gradually shifted towards the Military Police Force.
This is not over yet. After Tengoku finished his speech, he pushed out Fugaku, who caught the spy, and asked him to describe the process of catching the spy.
Fugaku took a step forward, with a resolute and self-reproachful expression on his face, added a few more to his memories, and then began to make a statement (A/N: two thousand words are omitted here)
Finally, Fugaku stated fiercely and gnashing his teeth that he would definitely increase the patrols in the future and try his best to catch all the spies lurking in the vige, and at the same time, appeal to the vigers to cooperate with the Military Police Force, that if they found any suspicious persons, they must contact the Military Police Forceas soon as possible.
Fugaku''s expressions and eyes are all in ce. Coupled with thest proposal of cooperation between the police and the people, he sessfully captured the hearts of arge number of vigers.
When he finished his speech, there are loud discussions around him.
The spy spies are all sent from other viges. In the end, it is not entirely the Military Police Forces responsibility.
"Although 17 people were killed and injured, it is said that the spy was a Jnin. If it wasn''t for Uchiha Fugakus obstruction, the number of casualties would definitely exceed 100!"
It really surprised me that the Military Police Force took the initiative to take all responsibilities and mes this time.
"Hmph, they just want to win sympathy, that''s all."
"What''s the use ofpensation? Can those who died be resurrected?"
"Everyone sees suspicious people in the vige in the future must report it to the Military Police Force in time!"
Various voices of discussion spread among the crowd, and Tengoku tried his best to distinguish these voices. Although among them, there are many people who refuse to forgive the Military Police Force, there are also arge number of vigers who stand on Military Police Forces side.
As long as public opinion is not one-sided, the situation of Military Police Force and even Uchiha n will not be too difficult!
Tengoku and Fugaku nce at each other, each heaving a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Hokage Tower, in the Hokage Office.
Danz was sitting opposite Hiruzen unperturbedly, sipping tea.
Beside them, an Anbu is reporting in detail about what happened in front of the Military Police Forces building, including Tengoku and Fugaku''s speeches and vigers'' responses.
After a while, Hiruzen waved his hand to let him go back.
Danz put down his tea cup and stared at Hiruzen with weird gaze, and then said: To win the sympathy and support of the vigers through hypocritical speeches, the Uchiha n is learning from you, Hiruzen.
"Military Police Force can actually take the initiative to take responsibility. Whether it is true or false, we shouldn''t continue to embarrass them." Hiruzen did not seem to understand Danz''s gaze, and then lit the tobo pipe, and spewed out some smokes.
Danz continued to tease: If the Military Police Force can win the support of more vigers, maybe the next Hokage will be selected from the Uchiha n.
Hiruzen squinted at him and said, I''m not that old yet!
"Really?"
The corners of Danzs mouth twitched slightly, But why do I think you''ve grown white hair?
Hiruzen frowned when he heard this.
For that white hair to appear, isn''t it because of Kirigakures incident that made me couldnt sleep all night?
"Yesterday, after arguing for a long time without results, it''s time to make a decision, Hiruzen."
Danz''s eye flickered as he said that.
After the war broke out, Konoha stationed arge number of Shinobi in the border with the Land of Earth and Land of Lightning to deter these two Great Countries. Now that Kirigakure has made it clear that they would also participate in this war, Konoha had to deploy Shinobi to be stationed in the coastal area.
At this moment, Konoha only has two choices, one is to transfer the Shinobi at the Land of Earth and Land of Lightnings borders, but doing this would cause their power to be scattered, and it wont be enough to shock the three Great Countries. Once the three Great Country feels that Konoha can''t bear it anymore, they are very likely to attack at the same time, which would cause disastrous consequences.
Another option is to draw Shinobi from the Uchiha and Hyga n.
After the war began, although the two great ns sent a lot of Shinobi, most of them were just Genin, and none of their pirs were sent!
So, drawing their power is the best choice at present!
Danz, Homura, Koharu all support the second option, and Hiruzen is still hesitating.
The reason why he couldn''t make up his mind is naturally his concern!
The Uchiha and Hyga n are both Konohas noble ns, and have a great reputation, but they have little actual power. However, if two great noble ns go out this time, it will be equivalent to opening the prison of power.
Hyga n seems to be in better situation, as the Caged Bird seems to allow Branch House to revolve around the Main House firmly. However, the Caged Bird not only limits Byakugan''s ability, but also also the Main House to directly destroy the Branch Houses members brains through the Caged Bird. This kind of contradiction involving life and death is irreconcble, therefore, it is more difficult for the Hyga n to unite to fight for power and profit.
On the other hand, the Uchiha n is extremely united, especially those from the Military Police Force, who are very united.
Speaking of which, all of this are thanks to Nidaime Hokage.
The original intention of Nidaime Hokage to establish the Military Police Force was to allow Uchiha n to have something to do, and to facilitate centralized observation and monitoring of them, but the consequence of concentration is also allowing the Uchiha n''s elites to have a fair reason to stay together all the time!
For example, when the nsmen of Sarutobi n went out for missions, they were scattered around the Shinobi World. The nsmen may only be able to see each other for a few times all year round, while the Uchiha nsmen in the Military Police Force are staying together all year round. From morning to night, they work together, patrol together, eat together, chat together, enjoy the glory together, and bear the criticism from the vigers together. Over time, how strong their unity and solidarity be?
In terms of internal unity alone, in the entire Konoha, except for Anbu and the Root, Uchiha n''s Military Police Force is the best!
Fortunately, the three words Military Police Force also firmly pressed the Uchiha n on the bench of power. If they want to go further, they will either have to rebel or make a huge contribution!
And now, the opportunity is here.
Once the Uchiha n has achieved enough merits on the battlefield, their prestige and reputation will inevitably rise to the higher level!
When the timees, with their left hand of the united Military Police Force, and their right hand of the great prestige and support from the vigers which were transformed from the contribution on the battlefield, the Uchiha n can logically seek greater power and more right to speak!
For example,peting for the Yondaime Hokages position!
Although Hiruzen does not have any evil intent and is not deliberately targeting Uchiha n, he really doesn''t want the Yondaime Hokage toe from the Uchiha n!
When Danz said that the Yondaime Hokage maye out of the Uchiha n just now, its all to seize this point and deliberately disgust Hiruzen.
Hiruzen looked at Danz deeply, his eyes cloudy and uncertain.
Facing Hiruzen''s gaze, Danz is unperturbed, and didnt panic at all, he even wanted tough a little bit, it cant be helped, after all, because of the situation, Hiruzen has no choice at all!
He can only let Uchiha n go to the battlefield, watch them build merits, watch them breed ambition, watch them jump up and down, and then Danz can just jump out and wipe his ass!
Danz took a sip of tea with ted expression: I am indeed the Konoha''s wisdom!
After looking at Danz for a while, Hiruzen finally nodded!
