As a member of the Hokage, one dares not be a loyal subject of Konoha

Chapter 13 Eyes

As it turns out, never take someone for a fool.

Especially since the other party is the head of a clan.

This was the person who calmed down the Uchiha clan when they were dissatisfied with the village.

Although in his heart, Fugaku was inclined to accept Hinata Himaru's advice.

After studying the matter, he did not act on his own. Instead, his first order was to warn the villagers to increase patrols during the village's reconstruction and to thoroughly inspect everything and everyone entering the village.

Even if it's a building materials merchant approved by high-level officials, they still have to be taken to the security detail so that their subordinates can test whether it's male or female!

This is a harbinger.

Once the patrols are intensified, it will be easier to arrest those who are monitoring the Uchiha clan. Ironically, when the villagers see the Uchiha clan's efforts, they will be more supportive of their actions in making arrests.

Despite the villagers' lukewarm attitude towards the Uchiha Guards, you have to acknowledge their importance.

With them patrolling the streets day and night, the security situation in Konoha has improved dramatically.

People looked down on the arrogance of the Uchiha clan and were extremely dissatisfied with their pretentious behavior.

In other words, what gives you the right to act cool?

Madara Uchiha betrayed the village and was killed by the First Hokage. Do you think the current Uchiha clan is some kind of behemoth from the Warring States period? Are you kidding me?

However, the Uchiha clan continued to do as they pleased, ultimately leading to their own demise.

While Hyuga Hisei was using the Uchiha clan to launch an attack, didn't he also have the idea of using the Hyuga clan himself?

When it comes to confronting higher-ups, the choice between fighting alone and having a reliable ally is obvious.

Moreover, it wouldn't be difficult to form a deep bond with the Hyuga clan.

When the higher-ups repeatedly learn that they are entering and leaving the Hyuga clan's territory, they will naturally assume that it is Hyuga Hima who is plotting behind the scenes.

This is very advantageous for the Uchiha!

Therefore, the current situation is clear.

Hinata Hiroki planned to have the Uchiha clan take the lead to buy him time, at least to clean up the rear on the moon, and then slowly relocate his clansmen. After that, without any worries about the rear, Hinata Hiroki would have much more room to maneuver, enough for him to do as he pleased.

Uchiha's good friend believes that by cooperating deeply with the Hyuga clan, he can make the higher-ups wary and gain more benefits and more say. Therefore, following Hyuga Hisei's instructions, the next step is to arrest those ANBU surveillance agents.

In short, everyone felt they had made a huge profit.

After returning home, Fugaku realized that what Nichisei said made sense. Even if he acted subservient in the future, he couldn't avoid being targeted by higher-ups.

You're being targeted from both sides, so why make yourself suffer?

Especially when he left the Hyuga clan, what Hyuga Hiroshi said reminded him even more.

Yes!

This village was built by us! You mere Sarutobi clan bastards, nothing more than sycophants of the Sengoku period and Senju, why should we suffer injustice?

In conclusion, Fugaku also had a radical side.

This time, it is clearly a legitimate opportunity to retaliate against the higher-ups!

Fugaku also planned to test the reaction of the higher-ups.

Thinking of this, Fugaku, who was leading the patrol, exchanged glances with his good buddy who had picked up two girls at the dumpling shop.

I recognized you in the eye; we're kindred spirits!

True partners often only need a glance to understand each other.

He understood that he was being used, and that his advice might cause his wife hardship, but it didn't matter. A real man is born into this world; a mere woman is nothing compared to power! By winning over the higher-ups and uniting with Hyuga, he might one day become the village chief!

He knew that the Uchiha had taken the bait. Once the Anbu were captured and brought to justice, the Uchiha would come back to him for advice and strategies, which would further highlight his reputation as a mentor who could help others succeed! This move to buy time was a sure thing. If the Uchiha performed well, and the Hyuga eventually swept across the world and became king, it wouldn't be impossible to have the Uchiha as his subordinates.

Their eyes met, and everything was understood without a word!

"You mean, that tribe hasn't caused trouble; instead, they've increased patrols and started doing their job properly?"

Inside the temporary Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked puzzled as he confirmed the information presented by his subordinate.

"The specifics are unknown, but at least on the surface, the tribe has not shown any resistance to either relocation of their territory or surveillance."

Kurenai Yuhi appeared calm and reported on her work.

In fact, he was practically a member of the Hokage lineage, but unfortunately it was all for naught. The vice-captain was still the vice-captain, and this was the end of his career.

Who told the previous head of the Dark Division to be named Sakumo Hatake?

It turns out that the Third Hokage did not want another Hatake Sakumo to appear, and Yuhi Shinku did not want to be played to death by the higher-ups like Hatake Sakumo, so even if he were offered the position of head of the Anbu, he would refuse.

Moreover, he had a premonition that the power struggle between the higher-ups and the Uchiha would be very complicated, so he didn't personally direct the work and naturally chose to go through the motions without putting in any real effort.

He finally understood things during the Nine-Tails' rampage.

With such a small amount of money each month, why would he work so hard?

He worked so hard back then that he almost died. That should be enough to prove himself, right?

The higher-ups kept insisting that funds were tight, and I haven't seen a single penny of bonus paid. It's a good thing he didn't die in the line of duty, otherwise it's uncertain whether the full amount of compensation would have reached his daughter. They would have just opened the shop and that would have been the end of it!

"I understand, you may leave."

He lit his pipe, waved goodbye, and waited until the setting sun had faded into the deep red before standing up and going to the window to ponder deeply.

Upon regaining power, he had many things to do. Fortunately, his wife was dead, so he didn't have to spare any energy for paying his dues and had plenty of time to spend in the office playing power games.

Even so, with his experience, he couldn't figure out what the Uchiha were planning.

This is different from his initial plan.

After some thought, the old village chief concluded that there was no major problem.

After all, when it comes to scheming and plotting with those radical young men, the old village chief wasn't afraid at all.

In terms of internal martial arts, he was confident that ten Uchiha would be no match for him!

For now, the focus should still be on the border.

Recalling the intelligence that had just come from over there, a worried look appeared on the Third Generation's face.

War is imminent.

Just as the old village chief was devoting himself to Konoha.

In the suburbs, outside the small courtyard left behind by Mr. Snake, Chief Richeng fled in panic amidst the disdainful gaze of Red Bean and the snickering of Kurenai Yuhi.

After Mr. Snake defected, this place became Miss Red Bean's new home, and also her base with her best friend.

The three of them were playing Dou Dizhu (a card game) inside when the atmosphere changed.

But in the end, Chief Cheng ran away with his back bent.

However, he vowed that this was the last time, and he would definitely teach those two girls a lesson next time!

Get her!

He was afraid that the three of them would not pass the censorship if it was because of this group; otherwise, he would have definitely taken action.

Next time, if the atmosphere gets heated, he won't care about anything else. Those two girls shouldn't blame him for being inhuman then.

of course.

When anger rises, Chief Richeng always has to find a way to vent it.

His gaze gradually sharpened.

The next moment, Hinata Himo sensed the coordinates on the moon.

this time.
