Chapter 237

What he really cared about was Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He didn't think the other party would just sit there and watch him mess around without doing anything.

But, the question was,

how would Hiruzen Sarutobi make his move?

He was indeed curious about this.

If the previous thief incident was Hiruzen Sarutobi's test of Uchiha Jin,

then this time,

it was Uchiha Jin's test of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Indeed.

Don't look at how big the commotion was; essentially, it was still a test.

This was normal.

Even if Uchiha Jin succeeded in the end, besides making Hiruzen Sarutobi lose face and slightly affecting his reputation,

what else could he do?

Nothing!

Even with Hiruzen Sarutobi's prestige in Konoha, as long as he displayed the "bowing craftsman" spirit, apologized to everyone properly, and even allocated some funds to the Police Force,

then what? Nothing!

The matter would end there.

The reason Uchiha Jin did this was, first, to retaliate against Hiruzen Sarutobi's test, but more importantly, he wanted to test how experienced Hiruzen Sarutobi was in political maneuvering.

After all, the original work didn't explain this.

Other than knowing this guy was considered a master of political maneuvering in the ninja world,

but in the world of his previous life, where everyone was an "old silver coin," it was hard to say what level he really was.

So,

since they had already become enemies, he naturally needed to thoroughly understand this guy's political maneuvering ability.

Test this wave and see how he handles it.

Then Uchiha Jin would basically have a handle on it.

And, on the other side.

The Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat behind his office, looking at the chaotic crowd outside the window, and couldn't help but light his pipe again and puff away.

He frowned.

His eyes flickered, and his brain was running wildly.

At this moment, he was indeed having a headache.

He couldn't let the village continue to be chaotic; he had to find a way to solve it as soon as possible.

But, what to do?

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't have a good method for a while.

Indeed.

Konoha had been chaotic before, but there were no ninja clans causing trouble; this situation was completely opposite.

More importantly,

because it was currently wartime, most of Konoha's experts and even a large number of Anbu had been sent out.

He didn't have the manpower to handle these small matters in the village.

The only method he could think of was to seek help from the major ninja clans and have them send people to replace the Uchiha.

But there were two problems that couldn't be solved.

First,

other ninja clans had no experience dealing with the grassroots; even if they were asked to take over so hastily,

without a period of exploration, they might not be able to do well.

Second,

although the Uchiha made a big commotion this time, it was still within the rules of the game, and other ninja clans might not necessarily intervene.

Because this was a struggle between the Uchiha and the Konoha higher-ups; the Uchiha hadn't provoked them.

If they intervened, they would completely offend the Uchiha.

Ninja clans weren't stupid.

This kind of thing, which had no benefits and only brought trouble,

they wouldn't do it!

Finally,

even if he could persuade the ninja clans, or as a last resort, have the Sarutobi clan take over,

the biggest problem was: should he allocate funds?

And once he chose to allocate funds, the Uchiha could still stir up trouble.

Good guy!

When the Uchiha controlled the Police Force, the village was crying poor, and there wasn't a single cent of funding.

Why was the village so chaotic before? Why didn't the Uchiha have the manpower to handle it?

To put it bluntly, no funding!

Now, changing to other ninja clans, suddenly there was funding.

Are you burning newspapers at a grave to fool ghosts?

At that time,

if he, the Hokage, didn't have a reasonable explanation, he would still have his reputation destroyed by the Uchiha.

What to do?

And just at this time, an Anbu walked in.

"Lord Hokage!"

"This is a letter from Jonin Shikaku; please review it!"

Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned.

Then a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Just in time!

He hurriedly took the letter, and after letting the Anbu retreat, he opened it.

But, the next second,

after truly seeing the words on the letter, his face instantly drooped.

The letter wrote a lot, but the meaning was very simple.

Give money!
