“It seems in this world, the Police Force is also within the Uchiha’s sphere of influence.”
Although he complained, from the two Uchiha police officers’ attire, Chen Yue confirmed some information, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
The world's background is slightly different, but the key points remain unchanged. For example, the Police Force is still under the control of the Uchiha clan.
While the Konohagakure Police Force was a trap set by the Second Hokage for the Uchiha clan, it must be said that this fact allowed the Uchiha clan to have their own private official force, making their power superior to any other family in Konohagakure.
“It’s Ryoichi and Gen-ta, you two have been working hard!”
Uchiha Hoka briefly acknowledged the two men named Ryoichi and Gen-ta, but he did not stop his steps. He continued walking forward with Chen Yue.
Chen Yue followed behind, nodding in acknowledgment to the two before continuing to follow the old man's pace.
“Ryoichi, that little boy wouldn’t be…?”
After the two had walked away, the Uchiha named Gen-ta looked at Chen Yue's back, hesitating.
“Hmm, there is no mistake, the child that the retired Hoka-sama is personally bringing, in all likelihood, is only his child.”
Uchiha Ryoichi recalled the once spirited young man: “In the blink of an eye, Tsuki's child is already this big.”
“Yeah!”
Uchiha Gen-ta also felt a turmoil in his heart, but thinking of the child, he couldn’t help but say: “Ryoichi, your child seems older than this child, are they going to start their ninja education this year?”
“Hmm, they have already joined the clan’s preschool this year. After the school opens in April, they will officially become a ninja student.”
Mentioning his own children, Uchiha Ryoichi showed a gentle smile.
“I envy you, my kid is just starting to crawl.”
“Haha, what’s there to envy? They will grow up in a few years.”
“Don’t act coy, you know what I envy? Twins, they are so good!”
……
On this side, Chen Yue and Uchiha Hoka left the family compound and entered the streets of Konohagakure.
The first thing that caught his eye was the incredibly wide street, at least seventy to eighty meters in width, with rows of trees that looked like ginkgo trees planted on both sides.
Behind the trees were high walls similar to the Uchiha family compound. Inside the walls, you could faintly see pavilions and towers, also about seven to eight meters high, similar to those within the Uchiha family compound.
The only difference was that there was no moat, and the walls were not as long as the Uchiha family compound. Obviously, unlike the Uchiha compound, which was like a self-contained small city, the mansions across the street had many different owners.
“Such a deserted street, is this because it’s a noble district?”
Chen Yue discovered that although the street was wide, completely different from the narrow alleys he saw in the anime from his previous life, there were very few pedestrians, and almost all of them were ninjas wearing green vests.
However, judging from the red walls and yellow tiles, and the magnificent buildings in the surroundings, it was clear that this area belonged to the residence of the Konohagakure's powerful families, ordinary people would definitely not dare to hang around in the vicinity.
Although the street he was on now was wide, there were no shops on either side. Obviously, this was not a commercial street, so it was normal for it to be sparsely populated.
Looking at the surrounding buildings, Chen Yue sighed: "This is truly the Naruto world of ancient times. It’s too different from the one in the anime from my previous life.”
Although Konohagakure in the anime also had many Japanese-style ancient buildings, especially in the homes of wealthy families like the Uchiha and Hyuga, the Konohagakure that Chen Yue saw at this moment was: if he didn’t know that he had traveled to the Naruto world, he might even think that he had traveled to Kyoto in the Heian period of Japan.
“The Hokage Tower too, it’s completely a Tenshu-kaku (castle tower).”
Chen Yue looked towards the north side of the street. At the end of his sight, a Tenshu-kaku stood out among the low buildings.
The red walls and yellow tiles were the same color as in the anime, but the square, angular castle-style architecture was much more beautiful than the round one in the original work.
Its height, estimated to be about thirty meters high, was the most conspicuous in Konohagakure, where other buildings were generally only seven to eight meters, or four to five meters high.
As a result, even from afar, Chen Yue noticed it immediately.
In Konohagakure, the only thing that might be more prominent than this Tenshu-kaku might be the faces of the Hokage carved on the Hokage Mountain above the Tenshu-kaku.
Looking up, from left to right should be the giant heads of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The Hokage Mountain was over one hundred meters high, and the three giant heads carved on it were all twenty meters tall. Almost anyone could see the statues of these three Konohagakure leaders just by looking up.
“Carving your own likeness into a giant head and watching over the village, allowing the people of the village to always remember the glory of the predecessors, it is a simple but effective way.”
“However, there are only three heads now, it looks quite good, but when there are six or seven heads later, I feel like it will be a bit ugly.”
Chen Yue commented on the face as he looked up, but he did not have the desire to have his own head carved up there, perhaps because he thought that the statue could not reproduce his inherent handsomeness.
In fact, seeing the faces on the towering mountain, the first thing that came to his mind was: although the Uchiha are aloof and arrogant, they are not completely unaware of their limits.
Even the tallest building in the family compound, the library, was only about twenty meters high, much lower than the Hokage Tower, not to mention the faces of the Hokage.
Apart from that, there was absolutely no urge in his heart to strive towards the goal of Hokage because of the sight of the faces on the mountain, and to have his own head carved up there.
Being Hokage was indeed his goal, but not because of the faces on the mountain.
In fact, after he became Hokage in the future, he would like to reform the Hokage Mountain system as soon as possible.
