Chapter 260: The Announcement Drops, and Konoha's Elders Explode!

Fugaku stood there, utterly bewildered.

Hearing Uchiha Jin's words, his mind went completely blank.

Reorganizing the Uchiha, that was understandable.

But, amending the law?

What good would that do?

Isn't that just working hard for no reward?

Yes.

He simply could not understand!

As the head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku had also held the position of Police Force Chief for a long time.

Of course, he knew in his heart that the Police Force had the right to amend laws.

However.

He had never taken this matter to heart; back then, he had glanced at it and immediately forgotten it.

So, he truly could not comprehend it.

But he also knew Uchiha Jin's temper; since he had spoken so directly now, it proved there was definitely something he hadn't grasped.

He was still capable of asking questions without shame.

Thinking of this, he could not help but speak up.

"Lord Jin, do not beat around the bush."

"Amending the law and such, what benefits can it provide us?"

"At this critical juncture, is it necessary to specifically do this?"

Yes.

In Fugaku's view, if the Uchiha were the Hokage.

Then he would not mind specifically amending the law and making the lives of Konoha villagers better.

But, now.

The Uchiha and the Konoha elders were fighting until their human brains were beaten into dog brains.

Where would they find the time to do such a thing?

So, he was truly curious.

With such a useless ability, how could Uchiha Jin possibly play with it?

Uchiha Jin's expression remained calm.

After giving Fugaku a slightly eerie glance and sighing lightly, he spoke indifferently.

"Concentrating the iron ore business within a single ninja clan easily creates a market monopoly, which deprives Konoha villagers and ninjas of their right to choose."

"Therefore, I am amending the law: iron ore, this strategic resource, cannot be held within one ninja clan."

"The current iron ore industry must be split; at the very least, five ninja clans must participate, so that the prices of kunai, senbon, shuriken, and other ninja tools, and even the farming tools used by villagers, can be lowered more easily."

"This would count as a good thing for both villagers and ninjas."

"Clan Head, what do you think?"

Hiss!

After hearing Uchiha Jin's words, Fugaku directly sucked in a cold breath.

So numb.

You must know that the iron ore in the Land of Fire is basically all controlled by the Sarutobi clan.

Even if the Daimyo wanted to make a purchase, he would have to negotiate with the Sarutobi clan.

This newly drafted law of yours is aiming to directly dig up the Sarutobi clan's roots!

One can imagine.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen were to learn of this, he would absolutely be so angry that he would kill Uchiha Jin on the spot.

He broke out in a cold sweat all over his forehead.

Looking at the Uchiha Jin before him, his spine was even emitting cold air.

Truly, too ruthless!

He never would have thought that the Police Force, a mere...

The 'right to amend and formulate laws' that he had been too lazy to pay much attention to, Uchiha Jin could directly turn into a spectacle.

But, he had to admit.

Uchiha Jin was truly strong; the gap between him and Uchiha Jin was too great.

"This, is that not bad?" Fugaku frowned and could not help but speak: "Like the Yamanaka clan's flower shop, countless inns, the Akimichi clan's barbecue restaurants, the Nara clan's deer antlers, the Hyuga clan's taverns, hot springs, and other industries."

"If we follow your logic, they all belong to monopolistic industries."

"Not to mention other ninja clans, even we Uchiha control all the gambling dens and wineries in the Land of Fire, as well as half of the ninja tool industry."

"If you really do this, then what do we Uchiha do?"

He was truly a bit panicked.

After all, Jin's methods were a bit too ruthless; this was going to offend all the ninja clans.

Actually.

Uchiha Jin was truly a bit stunned.

Yes.

Although he had shares of the Uchiha clan's industries, he actually truly did not know what the Uchiha clan's industries were.

In the past, he had been too lazy to care.

After all, in the Ninja World, the most important thing is to increase combat power.

But, now.

Upon truly learning of the Uchiha's enterprises, he was left completely stunned.

Good heavens!

Is this really the Uchiha clan I looked down upon?

My goodness.

All the gambling dens and brewing businesses in the Land of Fire actually belong to the Uchiha?

Even the ninja tool business, the Uchiha hold half of it?

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Uchiha...

Truly worthy of being a former powerful clan; he has now seen it completely.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask.

"How do the Uchiha have so many enterprises?"

"Then, what about the Senju clan?"

"The Senju clan, sharing the same name as the Uchiha, what were their former enterprises?"

Fugaku looked slightly complex.

He truly did not expect that this genius within the clan, though formidable in every aspect,

knew nothing about such basic matters.

He helplessly shook his head, but still spoke directly.
