Chapter 107 Confidence

Konoha, Uchiha District.

Patriarch Residence.

To the concerns put forward by Fukashi, Kazuki taking another sip from the cup smiled a little and spoke up.

"To address your concerns let me ask you about a few things chief fukashi"

"Please" Gestured Fukashi politely to continue speaking.

"The leaf police force… do you think it has only harmed uchiha and didn't bring them a single benefit? Why do you think that among all the clans in the village the population of the uchiha clearly exceeds others? Did the second hokage truly create the leaf police force just to harm the uchiha?"

Put forward Kazuki some questions with an anticipating look on his face for the response of Fukashi and Fugaku.

Such questions truly seemed to have caught both father and son by surprise, silence in the room for a while as both went into deep thinking.

"HA!"

After a while Fukashi letting out a huge breath broke the silence and with a wry smile on his face spoke up.

"I won't lie Kazuki-Kun, I or maybe none of us has ever looked at things from this perspective, since aside from the war uchiha unlike other shinobi aren't bound to do missions and just do their duties at the police force they are exposed to less danger which result in way less causalities compared to others"

Admitted Fukashi his shortsightedness honestly as for someone experienced like him it didn't take long to figure out what kazuki was implying from his questions.

Uchiha who had the whole leaf police force under their command unlike others after graduation had two paths to choose, either join a genin squad or become an intern at leaf police force.

After becoming chunin they could become an official member of the leaf police force and becoming jonin granted them the position of a team captain and during all this time they are barely exposed to any danger.

All this had resulted in uchiha having the least deaths compared to others, for example the Hyuga and Yamanaka Clan were normally assigned at the borders all year due to the insight of byakugan and communication abilities of the latter.

At the borders there are skirmishes from time to time and causalities of Hyuga and Yamanaka Shinobi were very high.

Same was for the other clans and even civilians' shinobi, after becoming a genin they were bound to take on risky tasks and leave the village resulting in causalities again.

*You only see half the picture after all" Said Kazuki inwardly at the response of Fukashi.

Another reason why Tobirama had allocated the leaf police force to uchiha was to prevent the emergence of another Madara and even if it did, get rid of it right away.

Uchiha were someone who felt love more than anyone and losing love would turn it into hate surpassing that of love; Tobirama limiting uchiha just to the police force was to keep them away from the danger of losing their loved ones and stop the emergence of Madara this way.

"So don't you think that other clans would want to prevent their casualties by allocating some of their shinobi to the police force; the pressure of every clan would throw the resistance of third hokage and the elders out of the window"

Saying that Kazuki rested his gleaming eyes on the shocked father and son before him.

"Kazuki-Kun, your insight is astonishing. At fifteen, you possess a wisdom that I, with many more years to my name, have yet to achieve. It's humbling, truly" Said Fukashi in an emotional tone, eyes that looked at the silver haired young man before him full of acknowledgment.

"You're overpraising me; I just stated some obvious facts" Kazuki at the showering praises stayed humble.

"HAHA!!"

At his humbleness Fukashi and Fugaku both just laughed and stood up, Kazuki standing up as well.

"You can rest assured for the upcoming jonin vote of confidence Kazuki-Kun; the uchiha stands with you."

"I'm grateful, Chief Fukashi" Thanked Kazuki in a sincere tone.

Next Kazuki who was about to leave was stopped by Fukashi for dinner as it his continuous persistence the former found refusing to be an insult.

Fukashi who was super happy today after the dinner took out dozens of sake bottles and Kazuki who hadn't taken a sip of alcohol this life didn't let go of the opportunity.

"HAHA! I can't even defeat you in a drinking battle; you are truly something else"

Fukashi in the distressed eyes of Fugaku who looked slightly tipsy, with his face super red laughed and praised Kazuki loudly, who also had a slight blush on his face.

"Chuckle"

At his words Kazuki couldn't help but chuckle and gulp down another small cup of sake down, his eyes showing some emotions and words barely audible leaving is mouth.

"Yes, I'm truly something else"

It didn't take long for Fukashi to show signs of extreme drunkenness as Fugaku apologizing took him to his room, Kazuki knowing he was approaching his drinking limit also chose to stop and finally left the patriarch residence.

Night had fallen and the full moon brightly lit up the whole uchiha district, on the deserted streets Kazuki slowly walked home while enjoying the cool breeze but when he passed by what seemed like uchiha training ground, his steps couldn't help but halt.

HA!! HA!!

THUD!! THUD!!

It was midnight and in the deserted training ground with shuriken targets fixed on logs and ropes hanging down towering trees trained a small figure covered in sweat and dust, he looked around four and held a kunai bigger than his hands.

The kid had short, unkempt, dark colored hair and a relatively broad nose and well defined eyelashes, that were turns upward at each ends.

The kid trained alone, not knowing someone watching him from afar, Kazuki's eyes on the kids face that resembled someone from his memories, as eventually, after deep thought, the name finally escaping his lips.

"Shisui Uchiha"

A.N:- I have slightly altered the age of shisui but due to the plot gradually differing from the canon it won't really make much of a big difference
