It's just that there are still some radical elements from the elders' lineage.

I just happened to be short of materials after agreeing to cooperate with Orochimaru.

Let's take care of it all at once.

"No problem, I'll be there on time tonight~"

Seeing that Bai Ye had agreed,

Fugaku was immediately overjoyed.

Once the internal clan issues are resolved,

Only then can the Uchiha clan truly be considered safe.

At that time, all you need to do is wholeheartedly assist Bai Ye.

Seeing that Fugaku Uchiha had successfully invited Byakuya to the banquet

Hiashi Hyuga and the others standing nearby immediately felt a pang of regret.

I should have known they would invite me too.

Pity,

The Uchiha clan beat them to it.

Soon, the group arrived at the Hokage Building conference room in a large procession.

The three generations of the family and the Chancellor of the Exchequer had already taken their seats in the meeting room.

Looking at the group of people Bai Ye brought in,

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not stop it.

He smiled and gestured for everyone to sit down.

In truth, Hiruzen Sarutobi also knew that the daimyo's purpose in sending someone was not simple.

This is a good opportunity for the clan leaders to hear as well.

Let's see what kind of nonsense that big name is going to spout.

Bai Ye plopped down next to the Minister of Finance.

He glanced at the Chancellor of the Exchequer beside him with amusement.

But that look in his eyes,

But this made the Chancellor of the Exchequer feel uneasy.

Seeing the minister's somewhat flustered appearance,

Hiruzen Sarutobi then said meaningfully, "Heh, what brings the minister to Konoha?"

"Now you can tell me~"

see,

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, however, was momentarily at a loss for words.

Facing a group of ninja clan leaders,

The minister understood this at this point.

If this were said out loud,

I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this conference room today.

Chapter Fifty-Four: Division of Compensation

After much hesitation,

The Finance Minister can only place all his hopes on the daimyo.

Hopefully, Konoha will consider the Daimyo's feelings.

It won't do anything to me.

"Um, Lord Hokage, what does His Highness the Daimyo mean?"

"The supplies Konoha sent out for the expedition were all allocated from the Daimyo's residence."

"Since the war has been agreed to, shouldn't some of the reparations also be allocated to the Daming Prefecture?"

"Of course, this is all the Daimyo's idea. Let me discuss it with you first."

After stating the future purpose,

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, desperate to survive, kept trying to explain himself.

Upon hearing this, the people in the conference room

They all understood.

This powerful figure has his eye on the 70 billion taels of compensation.

For a time,

The atmosphere in the entire conference room immediately became heavy.

The heads of the various ninja clans glared at the Minister of Finance with hostile expressions.

Good guy,

We fought a desperate battle to win the war.

You're trying to take a share of our compensation money the moment you open your mouth.

It's just too much of a lie.

As for the supplies for the expedition...

If you're so capable, then don't give it to me!

Without Konoha to hold the line on the front lines...

You see, maybe the enemy will just take over the Land of Fire and make your name disappear.

see,

The Chancellor of the Exchequer immediately sensed something was wrong.

I'm so regretful now.

I should have known better than to take this assignment.

If this is not handled properly,

Forget about embezzlement, even returning to Daming Prefecture is a problem.

"Hehe, everyone, don't be in such a hurry~"

"We discussed it first, and Daiming didn't say he absolutely had to!"

"I think Konoha has worked hard and made great contributions, so if Konoha doesn't take the money, who will?"

"When I get back, I will definitely report your achievements to the Daimyo, shall I?"

Regarding the Chancellor's explanation at this time.

No one reacted at all.

Bai Ye beside him was simply fiddling with his fingers, oblivious to everything else.

They showed absolutely no intention of striking up a conversation.

As for the Third Hokage

At this moment, he simply closed his eyes and sat there, adopting an attitude of indifference, as if it were none of his business.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer understood as well.

The mission wasn't completed, and a lot more will be lost; otherwise, I won't be able to get out of this door.

"I see that the gates of Konoha are in dire need of repair, and there are many places that require funding!"

"After I get back, I'll report to the lord that this amount of compensation is definitely not enough."

"How about allocating another 30 billion taels to make it a round number?"

Once this condition was stated...

The Chancellor of the Exchequer is heartbroken.

That's 30 billion taels!

Given the daimyo's personality, he definitely wouldn't pay for it himself.

In that case, we'll have to cover the costs ourselves.

That would mean losing most of one's life savings in one fell swoop.

Seeing the Chancellor of the Exchequer's pained expression

That should be the absolute bottom line.

Seeing this, even Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had remained silent until now, chuckled and agreed.

Seeing that the Hokage had agreed,

The Chancellor of the Exchequer also breathed a sigh of relief.

At the very least, they'll be able to leave Konoha alive.

After the matter was discussed,

The Finance Minister hurriedly led his team to prepare to leave Konoha.

However, before leaving,

Bai Ye's words made the Finance Minister freeze.

"Go back and tell Daimyo~"

"Give him face and call him by his full name."

"Don't give him face~"

Speaking of which,

The rest is self-explanatory; the Chancellor of the Exchequer understands as well.

He nodded hurriedly, indicating that he would definitely convey the message.

After it was over,

The Chancellor of the Exchequer didn't dare waste a single second.

Without looking back, he led his team away from Konoha.

As for what he was thinking...

That's unknown.

into the night,

Byakuya then brought Izumi to the Uchiha clan's banquet.

This banquet,

In order to resolve the Uchiha clan problem once and for all,

Fugaku arranged the banquet to be held directly at the clan head's house.

They also invited a group of radicals, led by the Grand Elder, to a banquet.

Fugaku, along with Itachi, waited at the entrance of the clan compound early to welcome Byakuya's arrival.

Looking at the two men, Fugaku and his companion, who were waiting for him respectfully,

Bai Ye was naturally in a good mood.

have to say,

Fugaku Uchiha was good at interpersonal relationships.
