Naruto: The Strongest Force

The ones maintaining order nearby were members of the Sarutobi clan.

In fact, the person who answered the call was also a member of the Sarutobi clan, but the residents nearby didn't recognize him.

They tried their best to save the image of the Third Hokage, but in fact, most of the villagers still didn't catch the cold at all.

After all, the previous three generations of Hokage did too many wrong things.

But what they care about is not the opinions of the people. What they really care about is the opinions of the Fifth Hokage Orochimaru.

After seeing the content of the announcement.

The Sarutobi tribesmen also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the Fifth Hokage is not ready to liquidate the Sarutobi family.

One of them quietly returned to his clan to report.

The Sarutobi clan is very low-key, and their clan doesn't even have walls.

Ordinary civilians can pass through their clan areas.

If you don't know better, you won't be able to tell that everyone in this area has the surname Sarutobi.

Because the people of the Sarutobi clan, except for the old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant, other young and middle-aged people would not return to Ninja Village at the same time.

Many even after graduating from the ninja school, they were sent to the border of Konoha where no one lived at all.

Only after advancing from genin level to chunin level.

Only then can you apply to be transferred back from the border.

However, they cannot stay in the clan area for more than three months each year.

As a result, although this area belongs to the Sarutobi clan, almost no one knows about it.

Chapter 428 Risks and Opportunities

The Third Hokage can be said to be the longest-reigning Hokage.

He started making plans for the Sarutobi clan very early on.

The Sarutobi clan has no other advantages, but they are obedient.

It is precisely because the Sarutobi clan obeyed the words of the Third Hokage that the Sarutobi clan has been hiding well for so many years.

When the third generation first came to power, the Sarutobi clan still had an old clan leader, but after the old clan leader passed away.

The Sarutobi clan has never chosen a new clan leader.

Because the position of the Third Hokage is equivalent to that of the clan leader.

There are three elders in the clan.

Among these three elders, the eldest elder is an honorary elder of Konoha named Sarutobi Tsune, and he lives a life without fighting against the world every day.

Usually at high-level meetings in Konoha, they vote in favor of the decisions made by the Third Hokage and ignore other things.

The second elder's name is Sarutobi Takaaki, and he is mainly responsible for the overseas deployment of the Sarutobi clan. Whether it is border stations or overseas missions, he is in charge.

The third elder is named Sarutobi Daigo, and he is mainly responsible for Sarutobi's internal affairs.

The three Sarutobi elders jointly maintained the development of the Sarutobi clan.

Orochimaru seemed to be very busy recently, and no high-level meeting was held even after such a big thing happened.

Instead, he announced the matter directly without communicating with anyone.

Fortunately, the news brought back by the tribe is still good.

The Fifth Hokage Orochimaru was not prepared to liquidate the Sarutobi clan.

Even now that Uchiha has left and Hinata has been hit hard, it is a good opportunity for the Sarutobi clan to come to the forefront.

With expectations and caution for the future, Sarutobi Takaaki went to meet Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was sitting in the office.

Seeing Sarutobi Takaaki in front of him, he was a little amused.

Even he still hasn't fully found out how many Sarutobi's clan members there are.

If it hadn't been for giving the wrong signal to the Sarutobi clan before.

It is estimated that this Sarutobi Takaaki will not come to see him.

After Sarutobi Takaaki came over, he said that there were still many members of the Sarutobi clan, but they were all stationed at the border of Konoha.

It's not wartime now, so some can be transferred back to help Konoha.

Orochimaru was pretty lucky.

The words he said also made Sarutobi Takaaki's heart stop for a beat.

"I know that the old man borrowed a lot of money to fund the development of your Sarutobi clan."

Sarutobi Takaaki looked stiff.

Orochimaru continued:

"But that's all in the past, and I don't intend to pursue it anymore."

"But don't expect to have extra resources in the future."

Sarutobi Takaaki's face had a look of sarcasm:

"That's natural. We're very grateful that Hokage-sama doesn't pursue it."

He seemed to be very satisfied with Sarutobi Takaaki's attitude.

Orochimaru said leisurely:

"You also know the situation in Konoha now."

"It is true that we are lacking some people. Considering that you are members of the old man's tribe, I can arrange for you to join the police force."

"In the past, the security force was run by the Hyuga branch. Now, the branch has been hit hard and there is a huge shortage of personnel."

Sarutobi Takaaki was excited when he heard this. It seems that the Fifth Hokage still takes good care of the Sarutobi clan.

After all, he is a disciple of the Third Hokage, so he still remembers this incense love.

If the Sarutobi clan can be a good security force, then the development of the clan will be just around the corner.

"But..." Orochimaru lowered his head slightly, his eyes full of oppression.

Sarutobi Takaaki was instantly startled.

"You know in your heart what Hinata's work ability and strength are."

"Hinata has about 80 job openings. You Sarutobi clan can hire more people, but I will only pay the salaries of 80 people."

"If you do this job well, your family will have more opportunities in the future."

"If you can't even do a good job as a police force."

Orochimaru paused.

"Konoha does not raise idlers."

"have you understood?"

Before Sarutobi Takaaki came to see Orochimaru, he had already made all kinds of preparations.

Such a good situation was completely beyond his expectation.

At least the Hokage has given the Sarutobi clan a chance.

This is a quota for the police force.

This is undoubtedly a timely rain for the Sarutobi clan who urgently needs to be deeply bound to Konoha.

But Orochimaru obviously knew the fact that there were many people in the Sarutobi clan.

Opportunities and risks coexist.

Orochimaru's rule is quite strict, and the Sarutobi clan has received some news about Hinata's affairs.

It means not supporting idle people.

It's very sophisticated. If you can't do your job well, then you will be idle.

If you can't do your job as a ninja, you're just idle.

At that time, whether you will be exiled or simply expelled from the village is a matter of Orochimaru's word.

Of course, if the Sarutobi clan can make some achievements in the police force, then there will still be a place for Sarutobi in Konoha in the future.

Let’s see if you can catch this wealth that is pouring out of the sky.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama, for giving us the Sarutobi clan this opportunity."

"We will recall enough tribesmen to complete the mission you gave us."

Orochimaru waved his hand, and Sarutobi Takaaki retreated.

In the office after Sarutobi Takaaki left.

Orochimaru let out a chuckle.

……

After Sarutobi Takaaki returned to the clan, he talked with the other two elders.

Both elders felt that this was an opportunity.

There may not be such a good opportunity in the future, so we must seize it.

The three of them discussed it and found out that Hinata's ability could not be matched by even the Sarutobi clan, so they could only increase it through quantity.

They are preparing to recall five hundred tribesmen.

After the discussion, many message birds took off from the Sarutobi tribe and flew to various outpost towers in the Land of Fire.

……

Leaf Border.

The anxious Sarutobi tribesmen.

Finally, news came from the elders of the family.

Sarutobi Takaaki told them that Konoha is currently short of people and needs a large number of clan members to return to the village.

And the restriction that only chunin or above can return to the village has been lifted.

In this first batch, 500 people will be transferred back to the village.

If done well, the Sarutobi clan won't have to be so sneaky in the future.

Sarutobi Ryuunosuke saw the letter and thought in his mind.

Ryunosuke is the leader in this station.

He called them all together.

"People, please listen."

He waved the letter in his hand.

"Now is the time when Konoha needs people. We now have the opportunity to return to Konoha."

"Hokage-sama allows us, the Sarutobi clan, to join the guard force."

The tribesmen below all showed joy. These Sarutobi tribesmen had never suffered much since they were young.

But after becoming a ninja, he has been stationed in this barren border.

Although the Third Hokage provided them with many training resources.

But there are no entertainment facilities here.

There are even very few members of the opposite sex.

Each of them must be promoted to chunin before they can have freedom.
