Chapter 807: Greed Without End Is Not a Good Habit

Cloud Hidden Village.

"That guy actually became the Third Hokage?!"

Raikage Ai, upon learning the news, angrily smashed the solid wood table.

His father was slain by Lian Ye on the battlefield decades ago. These years Ai has been thinking nonstop about avenging the Konoha Poison Master.

But ever since becoming Raikage, he has never found a suitable opportunity.

Now that he learns Lian Ye has become Hokage, the fury in his heart is hard to suppress.

Especially since that shameless guy is demanding money from their Cloud Hidden Village.

Both the words and the subtext are full of threats!

A warrior may endure what a ninja cannot, and he is already a hulking brute.

"Big brother, do we really have to give money?"

Qila Bi's expression was odd.

He didn't understand why, with the Konoha Poison Master becoming Hokage, they should give money to congratulate.

When Big brother became Raikage a few years ago, Konoha Village didn't come to congratulate either.

"Give money?"

Lightning Radiance surged over Raikage Ai, and his eyes flashed with ferocity.

"That's impossible!"

As the words fell, the murderous intent on his body was unmasked.

"Then we..."

Under Qila Bi's sunglasses, his eyes lit up, eager to try.

He had long wanted to pit himself against the rumored Konoha Poison Master.

As long as he kills him, he can avenge those fallen seniors!

Although the seniors were all slain by Lian Ye, the two brothers felt their own strength was not weak.

Maybe they really can get revenge.

"Go to Konoha!"

Raikage Ai waved his hand grandly, leading his elite guard toward Konoha.

He wants to see what kind of strength the guy who killed his father possesses...

The party marched grandly toward Konoha.

Meanwhile, similar events were unfolding in other ninja villages.

Obviously Lian Ye has indeed offended many people over these years.

Konoha Village, Hokage Office.

"You two, work properly."

Lian Ye lay on the chair, occasionally urging the two workhorses.

"Finish early, leave early."

The office's lighting wasn't great; in the morning it couldn't catch any sunlight.

Better to stay in the courtyard at home.

Forget it, who can control themselves after getting a job?

He couldn't believe that the once lazy salted fish had actually landed a respectable job.

Tsk tsk, how fickle the world is.

Just as he was reflecting, the office door was knocked.

"Please come in."

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang and Yuanfei Rizhan spoke simultaneously.

Uchiha Tanaka entered the office.

His gaze involuntarily fell on someone sunbathing on the balcony.

Qianshou Feijian really has gone mad.

He actually let that guy become Hokage!

Although Lian Ye's five-point Cultural Class grade is a secret in the village, his son Uchiha Reifeng is in the same class as Lian Ye.

He naturally knew about it.

When he learned that Qianshou Feijian had appointed Lian Ye as Hokage,

he was completely stunned.

It seems Konoha Village is doomed.

"Should the Uchiha seize this chance to stage a coup and become Hokage?!"

Of course, he was only thinking about it.

The Uchiha are not a match for the whole village; a coup would be a dead end for the clan.

"Tanaka Clan leader, what business do you have?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang spoke in a deep voice.

"I wish to discuss with the Hokage the matter of Uchiha Clan members taking on missions."

Uchiha Tanaka explained his purpose.

It turned out that Qianshou Feijian stipulated that after graduating from the Ninja Academy, Uchiha Clan members could report directly to the Security Forces.

They wouldn't need to go to the Task Main Hall like other ninjas to receive missions.

In fact, it cuts off the Uchiha's chances of interacting with other ninja clans.

And the Security Forces are a job that offends people.

Over time, the Uchiha naturally no longer have good relations with any ninja clan in the Village.

It must be said that Qianshou Feijian has a sharp political mind.

He easily eliminated the possibility of the Uchiha forming cliques for personal gain.

At first the Uchiha didn't react, and by the time they realized the problem later, it was already too late.

They could only grind their teeth and swallow it.

Now that Lian Ye has become the Third Hokage, Uchiha Tanaka wants to give it a try.

What if it actually succeeds?

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang heard this, his brows slightly furrowed, and he locked eyes with Yuanfei Rizhan.

Such a matter is beyond what the two Hokage Assistants can handle.

The two said nothing, instead looking toward Lian Ye on the balcony.

"Uchiha Clan Leader, isn't the Security Forces fine?"

Lian Ye yawned, his voice lazy.

He remained seated, with no intention of getting up for a face‑to‑face talk.

Uchiha Tanaka saw this and his complexion darkened, but he restrained himself from erupting.

Mainly because he dared not.

That kid is no longer the little brat they could manipulate at will.

If they really take action, the one who suffers will certainly be him.

Moreover, Lian Ye's current status is Hokage, so acting would imply the Uchiha are rebelling.

"No, Hokage."

He took a deep breath and produced the prepared excuse.

"I think Uchiha Clan's Members should not be limited to the Security Forces; they can also help the Village take on missions..."

He jabbered on at length, and Lian Ye kept yawning.

"You make some sense."

Although he and Uchiha Tanaka don't get along, the other's words were indeed sound.

If the Uchiha cannot be continuously suppressed, a problem will eventually arise.

Rather than forcing them to rebel, it's better to give them a chance.

"Half of the Uchiha can be assigned missions; those who leave the Security Forces would be replaced by members of other ninja clans."

The Security Forces easily offend people.

Instead of making the Uchiha take the blame, let other ninja clans participate.

That would lessen their resentment.

"But..."

Uchiha Tanaka's face showed surprise; he hadn't expected Lian Ye to say that.

Let other ninja clans join the Security Forces.

The Uchiha's power within the Security Forces would diminish.

It would no longer be their one‑voice rule.

"That's enough."

Lian Ye cut off Uchiha Tanaka, his tone showing a hint of impatience.

"The Uchiha Clan Leader's insatiable greed is not a good habit."

He is indeed willing to give the Uchiha a chance, but that doesn't mean he can let them walk all over him.

How could he let the Uchiha take all the good things?

"I understand, Hokage."

Uchiha Tanaka, hearing this, said nothing further and honestly left the Hokage Office.

Lian Ye's approach isn't a loss for the Uchiha.

Having gains and losses is normal.

"You two, go consult each major clan about the Security Forces' slots."

Lian Ye delegated the work to the two henchmen, while he himself lay on the balcony basking in the sun.

What a hassle.

After becoming Hokage, even sunbathing gets interrupted.

It's nothing like before, when one could just cook and lie down all day.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang and Yuanfei Rizhan: "…"

That guy just moves his lips, leaving all the dirty and tiring work to them.

So the Hokage can be that idle.

Never mind, after all they're just Hokage Assistants.

Honestly working for the Hokage.

A few days later, diplomatic delegations from various nations brought money.

"Hokage, the delegations from various nations request an audience."

The ANBU came to report.

"Let them in."

Lian Ye naturally welcomed the money‑bringing youths.

As for why they went all the way here to bring money?

Not important at all…
