After the two children went to play, the group chatted for a while. At this moment, a clansman stepped forward and said to Uchiha Touken, "Clan leader, the Inuzuka clan has come to visit."

"Douhuan, you guys go ahead with your work. I'll show Genma and the others around here," Kakashi said.

"Alright then, you can wander around here on your own." Uchiha Touhuan nodded, said goodbye to Mikoto, and then went to the entrance with Fugaku.

When Uchiha Touhuan and Fugaku arrived at the door, the Inuzuka clan's patriarch, Inuzuka Jacques, and the elder, Inuzuka Kotsu, along with all the clan's high-ranking members, including special Jonin and above, were present. Uchiha Touhuan shook hands with each of them.

"Oh, Chief Touhuan, I'm so sorry to trouble you to come out and greet me personally." Although Inuzuka Kotsu was over seventy years old, his old face was full of smiles as he shook hands with Uchiha Touhuan and said with a smile.

"Hehe, Elder Bone, what are you saying? You are from the generation that witnessed the establishment of the village, and you are my elder. How could I not come out to greet you?" Uchiha Touhuan laughed.

"Chief Dou Huan is joking. I'm just an old man with bones." Inuzuka Kotsu waved his hand. "By the way, Chief Dou Huan, has that kid Feng been causing you any trouble lately? That kid insisted on coming to the Security Department. I was worried that he would use his connections to cause you trouble."

"Elder Bone, what are you saying? Brother Feng has been a great help to me in the Security Department," said Uchiha Touhuan.

"Chief Dou Huan, please don't overpraise him," Inuzuka Jacques said. "We all know that boy's temperament. Although he has some talent, he is reckless in his actions. Please be tolerant of him in the future."

"Oh, Chief Jaw, what are you saying? Brother Feng is quite diligent in his work. Moreover, the police dogs donated by the Inuzuka clan last time have greatly relieved the pressure on our team members in their daily work at the security department," said Uchiha Touhuan. "By the way, speaking of which, I have an idea that I was just about to share with you, Chief Jaw."

"Please speak, Chief Do-hwan," said Inuzuka Jacques.

"Here's the thing, the police dogs donated by the Inuzuka clan last time played a crucial role in this investigation into the case of spies from another village inciting villagers to spread rumors. And considering that the Security Department may continue to expand its force, the Security Department plans to order another batch of police dogs from the Inuzuka clan in the future."

"That's true. Chief Dohuan, just let us know when you need anything, and our Inuzuka clan will donate another batch," Inuzuka Jaw said.

"That won't do," Uchiha Touhuan said. "We can't let you spend money every time. How about this: the Security Department will take the lead in setting up a department, allocating 80 million ryo annually, while the Inuzuka clan will be responsible for training a batch of ninja dogs specifically for the Security Department each year. What does Clan Chief Jaw think?"

"This..." Inuzuka Jacques was stunned when he heard the number. It wasn't too little, but too much! That's 80 million! After deducting expenses, the Inuzuka clan earns less than 80 million a year. The breeding grounds and stud dogs for police dogs are readily available, so why would they need so many?

However, after seeing Uchiha Touhuan's smile, Inuzuka Jacques realized that the 80 million yen a year was less for ordering police dogs and more for giving directly to the Inuzuka clan.

"What, is it not enough?" Uchiha Touhuan asked.

"No, no, no, that's enough. On the contrary, it's a bit too much," Inuzuka Jacques hurriedly said.

"A lot?" Uchiha Touhuan said, "Every member of the Security Department witnessed the performance of the last batch of police dogs donated by the Inuzuka clan. They are good partners to every member of our Security Department. Although I am an outsider in the field of breeding ninja dogs, I imagine that the cost of breeding such intelligent and brave police dogs must be very high. I can understand the Inuzuka clan's desire to contribute to the village, and the Jaw Clan Chief is a role model for us Konoha ninjas who have the Will of Fire in our hearts. However, the Security Department also has no reason to let its comrades suffer."

At this moment, Inuzuka Jacques understood why Inuzuka Fu had praised Uchiha Touhuan so highly after only one mission with him: this guy was really rich.

At this moment, Aburame Shiki arrived at the scene with the high-ranking members of the Aburame clan. Seeing Uchiha Touken and Inuzuka Gaku chatting happily, Aburame Shiki became curious and leaned over to ask, "What are the two clan leaders discussing?"

"Clan Chief Shiki, you've come at the perfect time," said Uchiha Touhuan after shaking hands with the high-ranking members of the Aburame clan.

"Uh, Chief Dou Huan, is there something you need?" You Nu Zhiwei asked.

"Well, a couple of days ago, when I was chatting with Captain Shikai, he mentioned that the Aburame clan cultivates a type of insect that can transmit the images seen by the insect back to its master's brain through chakra, thus enabling remote reconnaissance, right?" Uchiha Touhuan said.

"Well, there is such a technology, but these insects are still being cultivated, and there are still many technical flaws. Chief Dou Huan, is there a problem?"

"This technology has great potential. If possible, I envision using it in areas with high foot traffic within the village, and hiring a group of ninjas from the Aburame clan to monitor these areas. This would greatly reduce the patrol pressure on the security department in these areas," said Uchiha Touhuan.

"Chief Dou Huan, this technology is still very immature, and there are many problems with the insects we cultivate that need to be solved. I'm afraid we can't do what you've said yet," said You Nu Zhiwei.

"That's easy," Uchiha Touhuan said. "Our Security Department should naturally give strong support to projects that benefit the village and its people. How about we allocate 80 million taels to sponsor the nobles' research and development of this technology?"

"Huh?" Aburame Shiki was also dumbfounded after hearing the number Uchiha Touhuan mentioned. As the saying goes, even though they were a marginal ninja clan that barely managed to get close to becoming a major ninja clan, the total net profit of all their clan's businesses was less than 80 million.

Not only him, but even Kakashi, who came along, was dumbfounded. Were the Uchiha really that rich?

Putting aside the fact that there will be another 80 million after this, it's no secret in the village's ninja circles that the Security Department's high salaries are now being spent so lavishly. Can the Uchiha clan afford Uchiha Touhuan to spend so much money like this?

After receiving Uchiha Touhuan's promise of an initial investment of 80 million yen, with the possibility of further increases depending on the situation, Aburame Shiki was somewhat dazed when she entered the banquet with the Inuzuka clan.

At this moment, Kakashi noticed that there weren't as many guests left, so he came over and asked curiously, "Where did you get so much money? The Uchiha clan shouldn't be this wealthy, right?"

Upon hearing Kakashi's question, Uchiha Touhuan smiled mysteriously: "Want to know? Then keep an eye out for missions in the village lately. If there are any missions to the Land of Waves, then take them. I'll teach you how to make money."
