Chapter 238: Hiruzen Sarutobi: I'm ready to admit defeat!

Hiruzen Sarutobi was very unhappy.

Didn't he already know such a simple truth?

If it were just this, would he still need to find Shikaku Nara?

However,

although he was extremely unhappy, out of trust in Shikaku Nara, he endured it and continued reading.

Then, there was silence!

After he truly finished reading the letter, he understood Shikaku Nara's idea.

In Shikaku's words, withholding the Police Force's funding was a mistake in itself.

The reason nothing happened before was just because the Uchiha were stupid enough.
