Chapter 111

The title of Ninja Hero is not given for free.

If he loses, he accepts it!

So, after stating his stance with these words, he was the first to raise his hand.

Able to take it up, able to let it go.

Clearly.

He had also made up his mind completely; this time, he would thoroughly wash away the stain on his reputation in one go.

At the very least.

He could not give the Uchiha another chance to exploit the situation.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

With Hiruzen Sarutobi speaking up, Kohona Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

Although extremely displeased in their hearts, since it had been decided long ago, naturally they caused no trouble.

They merely cast a vicious glance at Uchiha Jin, then promptly raised their hands.

In an instant.

The entire conference room became so silent that a pin drop could be heard.

Everyone was stunned.

Naturally, everyone in their hearts knew about the struggle between the Hidden Leaf Village's leadership and the Uchiha.

But, today.

They had come to see the Hokage faction fight back!

How could they be admitting defeat?

No one could understand; they couldn't figure out what Hiruzen Sarutobi was doing.

Although the Uchiha's behavior this time was a bit strange, it was far from reaching the point of surrender.

At the very least.

In the eyes of these ninja clans, they were far from being out of resources and options.

Solving the problem might be troublesome, but there were indeed quite a few ways to do it.

So, why?

Everyone was a bit puzzled.

"Hokage-sama, what exactly is he doing?"

"This... I can't understand it!"

"Anyway, I feel there's something not simple about this."

"I feel the same way; the Hokage must be plotting something."

"Forget it, why worry about so much?"

"Isn't that right? It has nothing to do with us."

"Since the Hokage-sama has raised his hand, it seems this time he's playing for real; we should just support him directly."

"Whatever the Hokage-sama wants to do is the Uchiha's problem to worry about."

"..."

Everyone whispered among themselves.

But, similarly.

Just as they discussed, no matter what Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to do, at least it had nothing to do with them.

The ones who truly needed to think were the Uchiha clan.

So, without hesitation.

Everyone raised their hands to show agreement, even though other departments' budgets would be a bit lower today.

· ·········Requesting flowers····· ······

But as the Hokage said, they owed the Uchiha far too much for too many years.

Making up for three years at once really isn't that much.

One could even say this amount is quite small.

Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say.

The speed was very fast!

Seeing that everyone had raised their hands, Hiruzen Sarutobi automatically ignored the Uchiha.

Seeing this scene, he immediately spoke up.

"Good, the proposal is passed."

"Later, the Police Force will go directly to the Finance Department to collect the funds."

"But since the funding issue is resolved, regarding the villagers' unrest, I hope the Police Force can settle it within a week."

"Alright, meeting adjourned!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was calm.

After settling the matter completely, without any further nonsense, he stood up and left the conference hall directly.

Kohona Utatane and Homura Mitokado naturally did not linger for a moment either.

In the blink of an eye.

With the departure of the Hokage and the elders, the ninja clans naturally began to whisper among themselves.

Then, they looked toward the Uchiha side.

Their eyes were even more filled with strangeness!

Everyone was thinking.

However, considering the Uchiha's spirits were somewhat off, no one spoke much; instead, they simply left in small groups.

Clearly.

They needed to find a quiet place to discuss this matter properly.

Almost in the blink of an eye.

... ...... 0

The entire conference room began to empty out.

Only the Uchiha remained.

Yet even the Uchiha clan members could not help but frown slightly, each beginning to ponder.

Yes.

They were arrogant and proud, but certainly not stupid!

After all, given the situation before them, any normal person could see something was wrong.

"My lord, what is going on?"

"Has the Hokage gone mad? He didn't even resist and simply surrendered?"

"I still feel a sense of unreality. Did we really win just like that?"

"Itachi fool, are Itachi really that stupid?"

"Exactly. Even I can see that this matter reeks of strangeness everywhere!"

"This is far too abnormal!"

"I'm sure there is a conspiracy, but I can't figure out what it is yet."

"Who can't see that? Why do Itachi need to say it?"

"..."

The Uchiha clan members chattered among themselves.

Clearly.

Even they could see the strangeness of today's events.

However, in the end.

They still could not reach a conclusion, so they could only look toward Uchiha Jin.

After all.

Within the current Uchiha clan, regardless of whether everyone had pledged allegiance to Uchiha Jin, one point was unanimously acknowledged.

That was, in terms of intelligence, Uchiha Jin was the most capable.

Therefore, for matters they could not solve, everyone naturally turned to him.

Uchiha Jin, his brow slightly furrowed.

In fact, from just now until now, he had been thinking about this matter.

Only.

In fact, let alone this group of Uchiha, even he was completely baffled.

Yes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision truly caught him off guard.

So he just admitted defeat directly?

He found it hard to understand.

After all, in his mind, it shouldn't have been like this.

What exactly is Sarutobi Hiruzen thinking?

Yes.

With almost no need for doubt, Sarutobi Hiruzen must have other plans.

Only, for the moment.

He really couldn't figure out what the Hokage faction actually wanted to do.

Is this Sarutobi Hiruzen really that powerful?

Even he, who in his past life received a complete nine-year compulsory education.

couldn't understand his moves?

He didn't believe it!

Sarutobi Hiruzen shouldn't be this strong.

In this ninja world where power struggles are still in their early stages, there is no soil to cultivate a master of power struggles at this level, is there?

Could it be...

I am overcomplicating the problem?

Following this line of thought, after thinking for a while longer, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Hmm, I get it!

Thinking of this, he immediately took a deep breath.

"Alright, let's go back first."

"Whatever it is, we'll talk when we get back to the Police Force."

"..." The door.
