Yuuki's smile grew even brighter as he watched Kabuto's smile gradually crumble.
Then, Mitsuba took Kabuto to find textbooks.
Yuuki, on the other hand, began to ponder; in the original story, Kabuto was able to not only learn all of Orochimaru's skills but also innovate on his own.
Kabuto shouldn't have much trouble with self-study now; Yuuki hoped Kabuto would enjoy it!
Immediately, Yuuki began to contemplate the expansion of the Military Police Force.
Yuuki was not a leader in his previous life, so he didn't know anything about top-level design.
He only knew how to treat the symptom, not the root cause, identifying problems and then solving them.
Since the trivial matters were causing the Uchiha Clan Ninja so much headache, he would first solve the immediate problem.
Yuuki thought about it and felt that tasks concerning ordinary villagers, like city management and public order, didn't require Ninja to solve, let alone Ninja of the Uchiha Clan.
Yuuki planned to recruit some ordinary people into the Military Police Force to manage these affairs, but Konoha was a Ninja Village, and those in charge were basically Ninja.
Yuuki didn't know if returning the power to govern ordinary people to ordinary people would cause resentment among Konoha Ninja.
For this reason, Yuuki decided to first put out feelers in the newspaper to see what the public opinion was.
This was the trouble Yuuki faced now that his status was high; if he asked directly, the Ninja with opinions would probably say they had no opinions.
Yuuki called Qiyue and asked him to try and reveal that the Military Police Force was short-staffed for Village security and daily management due to needing to handle more important matters.
Therefore, they wanted to recruit a team composed of ordinary people specifically responsible for handling such incidents.
Of course, the one proposing this suggestion would naturally not be Yuuki, but an ordinary Military Police Force employee who brought it up due to work pressure.
If it caused resentment among Ninja, that employee could be fired, given generous compensation, and could still contribute within the Clan if not in the Military Police Force.
Anyway, Yuuki was rich and powerful now, stating that any problem that could be solved with money was not a problem.
So, the next day, an article appeared in the newspaper, guiding people to consider whether it was appropriate to use ordinary people for maintaining public order and management.
Yuuki specifically used a Transformation Jutsu and took Mitsuba to wander around various parts of Konoha.
"Did you see what the newspaper said? It's rumored that the Military Police Force is going to recruit a team of ordinary people!"
"Of course I saw it. I have to say, ever since Lord Yuuki became the Head of the Military Police Force, the Military Police Force has been much gentler in its dealings, but seeing those Ninja-sama still makes me a bit scared."
"If the Military Police Force is really managed by ordinary people for Village security, I will definitely support it!"
"I support it too, but what if they encounter Ninja causing trouble? Would those teams of ordinary people dare to step in and manage it?"
"That's right. What if a Ninja-sama causes trouble in my shop? What good would those ordinary people be? They'd just be giving themselves up for nothing."
"Haha, I'm not worried. My son is a Chunin, so generally no one dares to cause trouble in my shop."
"Didn't you say your son was gone a while ago? What, have you gone mad from missing him?"
"Haha, last time, when Hokage-sama returned, my son wasn't there, so I thought he had sacrificed himself and was just waiting for a Ninja-sama to come to my door to notify me. Those days were really hard to bear! But yesterday, my boy came back with Lord Yuuki!"
"Don't even mention it, many people were in the same situation as you. At that time, some of them hated that person to death."
"Keep your voice down, don't talk nonsense like that!"
The topic gradually began to shift, so Yuuki took Mitsuba and left the area.
Yuuki then arrived at an izakaya, a place where Konoha Ninja frequently came to drink.
"The war is finally over! To victory, cheers!"
"Come on, cheers!"
"This war ended really quickly! It's the first time I've seen a war end so fast!"
"Indeed, it was only a little over two months from the Hidden Mist invasion to its complete end, right?"
"True, but the gains were substantial! We basically completely crippled the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Village."
"It's all thanks to Lord Yuuki!"
"That's right, to Lord Yuuki, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Seeing that the few people weren't discussing the newspaper's gossip, but hearing someone praise him, Yuuki was still very happy and silently memorized their appearances.
Hmm, these people will definitely be the pillars of Konoha in the future!
However, Yuuki still had to tell them their scope was too small; they didn't know there would be a war that would end in three days in the future.
And half a day of those three days would just be two Genin fighting.
As time passed, the few people finally discussed the topic Yuuki cared about.
"Did you read the newspaper? It's rumored that the Military Police Force is going to form a team of ordinary people."
"I know about that, but I don't think it's reliable. What if they encounter danger? What if they run into a lurking spy while investigating a case?"
"Indeed, this is practically sending these ordinary people to their deaths. It still takes Ninja to protect Konoha."
"However, it's said that a certain Military Police Force employee brought it up because he felt there were too many trivial matters, so there's some truth to it."
"That's right, when we were Genin, we did enough tasks like catching cats and weeding. These ordinary matters aren't big, but they're incredibly troublesome."
"When you put it that way, members of the Military Police Force aren't easy either. It's better to be a task Ninja!"
"Last time you said the Military Police Force had good benefits, high pay with no danger. How come it's changed now?"
"That's because after the war with Kumogakure started, the Military Police Force stopped recruiting, didn't it? If you ask me, Lord Yuuki should just find Ninja. I'd definitely go!"
"Didn't you just say that Military Police Force members aren't easy and it's not as comfortable as being a task Ninja?"
"That's because I'm not a Military Police Force member, I'm a task Ninja! If I could join the Military Police Force, why would I bother with tasks?!"
"Hahaha! That's typical of you, have one!"
"Cheers!"
Afterward, the two discussed other topics, and Yuuki didn't stay, heading directly to the next location.
Soon, it was evening, and Yuuki had also wandered around Konoha for a day.
He had to admit, Yuuki felt he had gained a lot.
Indeed, I'm just an ordinary person; in my previous life, I couldn't even get ahead in the ordinary world.
How could I come up with a perfect plan by just snapping my fingers in the even more complex environment of the Ninja World?
Yuuki sorted through his gains for the day and realized he had indeed been taking things for granted.
The Ninja World is not Earth; there are supernatural powers here, and a purely ordinary law enforcement team would probably be useless.
Considering that ordinary people prefer to deal with ordinary people, and Ninja, who dislike trivial matters, are not averse to ordinary people taking over.
Ultimately, Yuuki decided to form a mixed team. Yuuki did not intend to use the existing three-person squad system.
A law enforcement team of five, with three ordinary people and two Ninja, should be a more reasonable configuration.
Of course, this would also be announced first to see everyone's reaction, and if there were any problems, they could be changed later.
After all, the great man told us to cross the river by feeling the stones!
