Chapter 498

Therefore.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who understood this clearly, pondered for a long time before speaking softly.

"Shisui, you've worked hard."

"Uchiha Jin's sudden move was something none of us anticipated."

"But, it is understandable!"

"After all, that guy Uchiha Jin is inherently ruthless and never hesitates once he's made a decision."

"Since you have already been driven out of the Uchiha, then from now on, you are a new ninja clan."

"For now, let's do this."

"I will first clear out a space from the Sarutobi clan for you to settle down properly."

"When the Jonin meeting is held in the future, I will use the name of the Hokage to designate a piece of land in the village so that your clan can thrive and multiply."

"Considering you have no assets and need to survive for the time being..."

"I'll give you 200 million as your startup capital."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked imposing.

Yes.

Since he had decided to accept this group of Uchiha, he naturally wouldn't be stingy in his actions.

Money, he really didn't lack.

In fact, if he wanted to, he could easily claw it back double from the treasury!

On the contrary.

Shisui had chosen to bring people to defect to him in public.

He had to reward them.

And this support had to be generous enough to attract more people to defect to him.

To put it bluntly.

This was for others to see.

Buying horse bones with a thousand gold!

Although this saying didn't exist in the ninja world, he understood the principle.

And, on the other side.

After hearing these words, Shisui was instantly dumbfounded.

Yes.

Even though Uchiha Jin had told him beforehand, he hadn't expected Sarutobi Hiruzen to be this wealthy and arrogant!

Damn it.

The entire annual fiscal appropriation for Konoha was at most 1.1 or 1.2 billion.

Sometimes, when the Daimyo wasn't generous, it was only 800 or 900 million a year.

But now?

He had just defected, and Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth and offered 200 million.

No wonder.

Uchiha Jin kept tricking him, wanting him to come to Sarutobi Hiruzen to get money.

Damn it.

Is he really that rich?

"Shisui, what's wrong?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a smile.

Shisui, who had come back to his senses, immediately knelt on one knee: "Lord Hokage, thank you!"

"From now on, our branch of the Uchiha will unconditionally obey your commands!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slowly.

Although paying such a high price had the implication of 'buying horse bones,' the Uchiha weren't taking this money for nothing.

Now that Shisui was on board, he felt reassured.

"Mm, good!"

"Arrange for the wounded to be sent to the Konoha Hospital; I will have the Anbu assist."

"As for you, Shisui, bring everyone and follow me to the Sarutobi clan grounds."

"It's about to get dark; let's arrange accommodation for you first."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke slowly.

After finishing.

He gave a simple order, and the Anbu began to act.

Shisui, naturally, cooperated fully.

After arranging for the wounded, he followed behind Sarutobi Hiruzen and headed toward the Sarutobi clan grounds. ===== CHAPTER 499 =====
