isn't that worth celebrating?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With such a teacher, Itachi will certainly not be fooled by anyone in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A little bit of paternal authority is nothing compared to that, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, I told Itachi long ago that Itachi should put on airs outside as the clan head, but why put on airs with your children at home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Itachi are father and son!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, that Jinjun really doesn't seem like an Uchiha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Fugaku nodded slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had noticed it long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Uchiha Jin possessing the Sharingan, and moreover a unique Mangekyo Sharingan, he would have truly thought Jin was a Nara, believing his parents had swapped him at the hospital when he was born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since returning from the Hidden Mist battlefield, Uchiha Jin had not left his gate or stepped out his door; with that lazy demeanor and the wisdom to see through the fog and reach the core, he was a typical Nara.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, fortunately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The appearance of the Mangekyo Sharingan left no room for anyone to question Uchiha Jin's identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could, of course, feel completely at ease!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Fugaku spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mikoto, there is something I would like your thoughts on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The position of Police Force Chief we gave Jin was, in fact, merely a figurehead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But since Jin possesses this capability, I wish for him to truly assume the post.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With a wisdom no less than the Nara's, he will surely handle the issues concerning the village, the villagers, and the Uchiha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only fear the other clan members may be unwilling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do Itachi think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had already decided to let Jin take the post immediately, considering the voices within the clan, he could not yet make up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, his brow furrowed in worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fugaku, Itachi are overthinking it,\" Mikoto said directly. \"I do not think it is as complicated as Itachi imagine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Itachi must not forget one thing: Lord Jin is the only Mangekyo Sharingan user in the clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would they really be willing to offend an Uchiha with a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan over such a trivial matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are they not afraid Jin will make things difficult for them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they are not eager to curry favor and flatter him, why would they offend him over such a small thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could anyone be so foolish?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fugaku, Itachi are actually very capable; Itachi are just a bit indecisive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This trait is truly not good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Itachi are the Head of the Uchiha; Itachi must show some dominance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Fugaku wore a bitter expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for being indecisive, how could he not know this himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he truly could not change it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not wish to offend anyone and always sought a plan everyone could agree upon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, things did not go as wished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well, I understand,\" Fugaku said helplessly. \"I will try to change in the future;
