Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 254 Fugaku: Damn it! Just how much did Hiruzen Sarutobi embezzle?!

If a ninja clan were to join Konoha, it would face resistance from all the ninja clans in Konoha.

This is purely determined by self-interest.

They already have enough of Konoha's resources to share, so why would they allow an outsider to steal them?

Unless the Hokage is willing to sacrifice his "popular support," or even sow the seeds of future trouble, by forcefully issuing a death order.

However, if a sacred site for summoning beasts comes to Konoha, it will only be welcomed by the Konoha ninja clan.

Because the two sides value different interests, there is no core conflict of interest between the summoning beasts and the ninja clan.

For example, in terms of political resources, summoned beasts can never hold important positions in Konoha; at most, they can obtain a newly established position to manage the toad clan.

This position was specifically created for Mount Myoboku. Mount Myoboku existed first, and then the position came into being.

Therefore, the ninja clan could not possibly hold this position, as they would not be able to directly manage the internal affairs of the toad clan.

Moreover, Mount Myōboku is a sacred place for summoning spirit beasts. Although it was forced to flee by the White Snake Sage, it still possesses a profound foundation.

A powerful summoning beast can greatly enhance the strength of a ninja clan, just like Jiraiya's Gamabunta. Who wouldn't want to sign a contract with him?

No ninja clan complains about having too many summoning beasts or that their beasts are too powerful.

Uchiha family.

Security Department.

Fugaku sat wearily in the security headquarters office, his expression strained. "Those two Hokage advisors are just messing around!"

The training department holds ten meetings a day, and nine of them are convened by the two Hokage advisors.

Fugaku couldn't understand where those two old men got so much energy!

Even he, the head of the Uchiha clan, was starting to feel the strain, while Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were still spouting a bunch of nonsense with great energy!

Every time they changed dorm rooms, Koharu and Mitokado En saw his unpleasant expression and felt like they were on steroids.

He talked on and on, showing no sign of ending.

"Clan leader, perhaps the two Hokage advisors do have some issues to discuss. The training department is of great importance, so it's normal to be cautious," Shisui tried his best to explain the two Hokage advisors' behavior.

"Moreover, this time the two Hokage advisors are not only targeting our Uchiha clan, but all the other ninja clans in Konoha are also attending the meeting."

It wasn't just Fugaku; many clan leaders in Konoha were also suffering greatly from the torment inflicted by Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

Many ninja clan leaders wished they could put a sack over their heads and beat these two old guys up on a dark and stormy night, to teach them a lesson about the dangers of society!

I thought it was during the reign of the Third Hokage!

"Hmph, what kind of problem requires ten meetings a day to discuss! And how many days has this been going on? They're busier than the Hokage!" Fugaku couldn't help but complain.

"These two remnants from the Third Hokage's era are just wielding their power like it's nothing, trying to recapture the feeling of having power before, so they're doing everything they can to torment our ninja clan!"

Zhi Shui gave an awkward smile; the clan leader had indeed been attending meetings at the training department quite frequently these days.

They get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs.

Every day, as soon as I open my eyes, I have to get up for a meeting; the meeting usually ends in the middle of the night.

But I can't skip the meeting convened by Koharu Tsunematsu and Enoki Mito.

These two have pledged allegiance to Zhiyi. If Zhiyi needs them to relay a message, the clan leader will be in a very passive position if he is not present.

The junior ninjas couldn't command respect when facing the clan leaders.

Just like not long ago, what was thought to be an ordinary meeting turned out to be unexpected. Zhiyi directly brought out three Titan armors and let them discuss and allocate them among themselves.

At that moment, demons danced wildly in a struggle to claim ownership of the Titan armor!

The Titan armor ultimately belonged to the Sarutobi clan, the Uchiha clan, and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

The Hyuga clan originally had the strength to compete, but Hyuga Hiashi couldn't stand the high frequency of meetings, thinking that these meetings were just discussing some unnecessary trivial matters, so he sent his younger brother Hyuga Hizashi to attend the meetings.

Although Hyuga Hizashi was also striving to obtain the Titan armor, constantly demonstrating the greatness of the Hyuga clan, obtaining the Titan armor was well-deserved.

But when asked, "Can you really be in charge of the Hyuga clan?" he was speechless, losing some of his confidence and thus losing his eligibility to compete for the Titan armor.

From then on, Hiashi Hyuga never missed a meeting of the training department, even when he was unwell.

Furthermore, the Sarutobi clan, unlike their previous low-key approach, displayed formidable strength at this meeting, which surprised everyone.

Everyone knows that the Sarutobi clan is quite powerful, but no one knows exactly how powerful they are.

Now I know that the Sarutobi clan actually has more ninjas than the Uchiha clan!

When Fugaku found out, he really wanted to shout out that there must be something wrong with this!

The Sarutobi clan has demonstrated power surpassing that of the Hyuga clan, and they are fully capable of competing with the Uchiha clan for the title of Konoha's number one ninja clan.

If the Uchiha clan hadn't produced two Mangekyou Sharingan, they might not have been able to suppress the Sarutobi clan.

Is this reasonable? !

The Uchiha and Hyuga clans have been top-tier ninja clans since the Warring States period, possessing a profound heritage.

But what gives the Sarutobi clan the right to do this?

Based on the Third Hokage alone?

Damn!

How much did Hiruzen Sarutobi embezzle during his reign?

How much did the Sarutobi clan embezzle?

How can Konoha be improved by having parasites like these around?!

Fugaku rubbed his aching temples and said to Shisui, "I heard you've been spreading rumors about the Land of Grass lately?"

"Yes, I gained a lot of insights from my last mission to Kusagakure. The relationship between Hozuki Castle's Kusanagi and Kusagakure is even more tense than that between the Uchiha clan and Konoha, but in the end, they cleared up their misunderstandings, understood each other, and reconciled, becoming one family."

Shisui remarked with emotion that he could not forget what had happened in the Land of Grass.

Fugaku did not reply to Shisui's words, but instead picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

He knew that Shisui was publicizing what happened in the Land of Grass and wanted to use this as an example to ease the conflict between the village and the clan.

But it's still too immature.

Everyone in Kusagakure Village must understand.

Clear up misunderstandings? Understand each other? Reconcile?

It's obvious without even thinking that there's something wrong here.

However, the village is indeed much better to the Uchiha now than before, and the sensitive hearts of the Uchiha clan members can feel that the village genuinely wants to ease tensions with the Uchiha.

Minato didn't have the same deep-seated distrust of the Uchiha clan as the Third Hokage; he was willing to give the Uchiha a certain amount of trust.

He took Obito as his disciple and recruited Shisui into the Hokage's Guard, showing his sincerity.

Furthermore, it allowed the Uchiha clan to acquire Titan armor.

If the Third Hokage were in power, something like this would be impossible.

Don't even think about getting a Titan armor!

Even his Mangekyou Sharingan was taken by Konoha's Root, and then, under the Third Hokage's intervention, he apologized and punished himself with three cups of wine.

Just thinking about it for a moment made Fugaku feel his whole body turn red and warm.

This is outrageous!

Fortunately, things didn't turn out the worst.

In that case, the Uchiha clan is willing to repay Minato with sincerity.

Uchiha Shisui, a member of the Hokage's Guard, is an Uchiha clansman who considers the village and his clan equally important.

Appointing him as a high-ranking member of the Uchiha clan is enough to demonstrate the Uchiha clan's attitude.

Shisui possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, so appointing him as the elder of the Uchiha clan wouldn't be surprising.

Fugaku Uchiha looked at Shisui, lost in thought.

And the Konoha Police Department...

This is a big problem. The Security Department is both the chain that binds the Uchiha and the foundation of the Uchiha's strength.

If you want to make changes, you must be extremely cautious!

We can only wait until Shisui becomes an elder of the Uchiha clan before we figure out a solution.
