#i am emotionally invested in proving that madara was right about tobirama being an ass

babygirl i have a VERY detailed explanation about why this shit happened. me and my girl @petra-kopanja have spoken about this in so much depth we ended up hating tobirama even more and establishing a connection between the existence of such police force with the massacre

Like why did Kishimoto make the Uchihas cops?

Konoha is a military village, so there can’t be that many civilians. Like we have Ayame and the Ichiruki ramen guy (did we ever get his name?). We don’t really know anything about Tenten and Lee’s families and we barely know anything about Sakuras (her dad was a ninja I think). Other than that all of the Konoha characters are ninjas and the parents that we get to know were also ninjas. So like how many civilians could there really be? Not that many. So then who were the Uchiha police force meant to police? The soldiers when they were off duty? On duty? It could be, but why would Tobirama give the Uchihas that much systemic power when he didn’t really like them and wanted to oppress them? Is it because of the whole “people don’t tend to like the ones that crack down on crime” thing? Like “Boohoo people don’t like cops because they have systemic power and have a tendency to abuse it”, “Poor them”. what?

Like why did Kishimoto decide to make this weird connection between a fictional oppressed group (the Uchihas) and a real life oppressor group (cops)? He didn’t have to do it, but he still did. And like why? It’s not really needed for the plot to work, but he still kept bringing it up. What was his intention with this? Is he just stupid?
