Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

What he really cared about was Hiruzen Sarutobi's side.

He didn't think the other party would just sit idly by and watch him mess around.

But the problem is...

How will Hiruzen Sarutobi use his attacks?

He was indeed very curious about this.

If we were to talk about the previous theft incident, it was Hiruzen Sarutobi's test of King Uchiha.

So, this time...

That was Uchiha Jin testing Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Yes.

Despite the large commotion, it's essentially still a test.

This is normal.

Even if Uchiha Jin succeeds in the end, aside from embarrassing Hiruzen Sarutobi and slightly affecting his reputation,

What else?

Gone!

Even with Hiruzen Sarutobi's prestige in Konoha, if he simply displayed the spirit of "honesty and craftsmanship," apologized sincerely to everyone, and even allocated some funds to the police department, he could achieve great things.

And then? That's it!

That concludes the matter.

The reason why Uchiha Jin did this was firstly to retaliate against Hiruzen Sarutobi's probing, but more importantly, he wanted to test how much experience Hiruzen Sarutobi had in political maneuvering.

After all, this wasn't explained in the original work.

Aside from knowing that this guy is a master of political intrigue in the ninja world, I can say he's a highly experienced individual.

But if this title were applied to the previous life, to a world where everyone had old silver coins, it would be hard to say what level it would be considered.

and so.

Now that they have become enemies, it is naturally necessary for him to thoroughly understand this guy's political maneuvering abilities.

Let's test this wave and see how he handles it.

By then, Uchiha Jin will basically have a good idea of ​​what to do.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in his office, looking out at the chaotic crowd, and lit his pipe again, puffing out clouds of smoke.

His brows were furrowed.

His eyes kept flashing, and his brain was working frantically.

He was indeed having a real headache at that moment.

He couldn't let the village continue to descend into chaos; he had to find a solution as soon as possible.

But what to do?

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, at this moment, had no good solution.

Yes.

Konoha had indeed been in chaos before, but there were no ninja clans causing trouble, which is completely opposite to the current situation.

more importantly.

Because we are currently at war, most of Konoha's top fighters, and even a large number of the Anbu, have been dispatched.

He simply didn't have the manpower to handle these trivial matters in the village.

The only solution we could think of was to ask the various ninja clans for help and have them send people to replace the Uchiha.

However, there are two problems that have remained unresolved.

First of all.

Other ninja clans have no experience dealing with the grassroots, so even if they were allowed to take over so hastily.

Without a period of trial and error, they might not be able to get it right.

Second.

Although the Uchiha clan caused quite a stir this time, they are still within the rules of the game, and other ninja clans may not necessarily get involved.

This is a conflict between the Uchiha clan and the Konoha leadership; the Uchiha clan did not provoke them.

If they intervene, they will completely offend the Uchiha clan.

The ninja clan is not stupid.

This kind of thing brings absolutely no benefit and only causes a lot of trouble.

They won't do it!

At last.

Even if I can persuade the ninja clan, if all else fails, I'll let the Sarutobi clan take over.

The biggest question is whether or not to allocate funds?

If he chooses to allocate funds, the Uchiha can still cause trouble.

Good guy!

When I, the Uchiha, took control of the police department, the village was constantly complaining about being poor; in short, they didn't have a single penny of funding.

Why was the village in such chaos before? Why was there no one to deal with the Uchiha clan?

To put it bluntly, there's no funding!

Now, if it were another ninja clan, they would suddenly have funding.

Are you trying to fool the ghosts by burning newspapers at their grave?

By the time.

If he doesn't provide a reasonable explanation for his position as Hokage, his reputation will still be ruined by the Uchiha clan.

How to do?

Just then, a member of the secret service walked in.

"…Hokage-sama!"

"This is a letter from Jonin Shikaku. Please read it!"

Upon hearing these words, Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback.

Then a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Exactly!

He quickly took the letter and dismissed the secret agents before opening it.

But, the next second.

Upon actually reading the words on the letter, his face instantly fell.

The letter contained a lot of text, but the meaning was very simple.

Pay up, neighbor!

Chapter 104 Hiruzen Sarutobi: I'm ready to admit defeat!

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked displeased.

Does he not understand such a simple principle?

If that were all there was to it, would I need to look for Nara Shikaku?

but.

Although he was extremely unhappy, he forced himself to continue watching because of his trust in Nara Shikaku.

Then, there was silence!

Only after he had actually read the letter did he understand Nara Shikaku's thoughts.

In Lu Jiu's words, cutting back on the police department's funds was a mistake in itself.

The reason nothing happened before was simply because the Uchiha were stupid enough.
