Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Budget Dispute

"Not only that, but the Konoha Police Force is only responsible for the security of the village, and it can't contribute much to the village. Moreover, the people of the village are now increasingly dissatisfied with the Uchiha clan, and they are questionable whether they can even do basic law and order work. In this case, it would be too unfair to the other departments to keep the original budget of the Konoha Police Force. ”

"This is the protection of the Uchiha clan, after all, they are one of the two families that created Konoha...

Ape Fei Ri sighed helplessly, in this kind of battle of words, he is not Tuan Zang's opponent.

At least on the surface.

"Protection, why give them protection! Over the years, in addition to enjoying the benefits of the village, the Uchiha clan has done something for the village... , just because their clan is the founder of Konoha, can they lie on the past merit book and go on forever. ”

Danzo's attitude is surprisingly tough.

"You're prejudiced against the Uchiha clan...

Ape Fei Ri's palm slammed down on the conference table, and the entire conference room trembled in his rage.

"It is because of your protection that the Uchiha clan has been able to isolate themselves from the village and continue to cultivate hostility towards Konoha among the next generation."

Danzang tried to restrain his smile and continued to speak.

"The Konoha Police Force is a department established during the second Hokage period, and it is very necessary for the peace of Konoha...

"The Great War is over. It's a time of peace, don't you think such an idea is too outdated? A new era calls for change. For the sake of Konoha's future, some sacrifices are necessary ... ”

Tuan Zang didn't bother to look at the angry face of Sarutobi Hiza again, and continued:

"What do you think of the proposal to cut the budget of the Konoha Police Force?"

"No objections."

Koharu echoed.

Mito Menyan also nodded and silently agreed.

"But if the Uchiha clan can't calm their emotions and take some inappropriate actions, then ...

The anger of the ape flying sun slash gradually dissipated, and it was replaced by deep concern.

"Isn't there still that imp named Uchiha Shisui? What a pity it would be if you didn't have the opportunity to use the chess pieces you carefully laid out... ”

Danzang's words were like a sharp sword stabbing at the ape sitting in the middle of the conference room.

"If you cut it by forty percent, the Uchiha clan will definitely riot...

Ape Fei Ri's face was full of exhaustion, and his voice trembled slightly,

"What do you think of the cut?"

"Your decision is so wise...

Danzang pretended to pay respect.

Expressions of disgust appeared on both faces at the same time.

。。。。。。。。

"Tiger" was lucky to pick up a life.

When he first met Uchiha Itachi, he knew that Uchiha Itachi was strong.

At that time, he naively thought that he was stronger, but he just had no eyes.

It wasn't until he saw the power of "Moon Reading" that he realized how ridiculous his conceit was.

He followed Uchiha Itachi from a distance, looking at Uchiha Itachi with fear in his eyes that could not be erased for a long time.

Tenzo walked forward with his head buried in the woods, not knowing that he was lucky enough to avoid the same encounter as the "tiger" because he was young.

Itachi Uchiha got the information he wanted.

The reason why "Tiger" knew about this was simple.

The materials for the "Nine-Tails Incident" are on the desk in the Tuanzang office.

As long as you stand behind Tuan Zang, you can see a white label with the words "Nine-Tails Incident" written on the back of the folder.

Itachi Uchiha never imagined that he had ever been so close to the document, close enough to reach it.

But it can be difficult to steal documents in an office that is closely guarded by ninjas 24 hours a day.

The most important thing is time.

The Uchiha clan's regular meeting is scheduled for three days, and once the goal and time of action are decided, everything will be irretrievable.

He has no time ...

The weight of the whole world seemed to weigh on him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

It was already dark, and a full moon crept up the treetops.

The edges of the silver disc shone with a blood-colored halo and an ominous aura.

。。。。。。。。

Hokage's office.

The expressions of the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash were unusually serious.

In front of him was the Uchiha Shisui with sunken eye sockets, chapped lips, and an exhausted look.

"Have you had any results from your recent investigation?"

There was a shuddering oppression in the gentle voice of the ape flying sun.

"The Uchiha clan's dissatisfaction with the village is growing and has reached the point where it is about to get out of control. At recent gatherings, complaints about the village have also intensified... ”

"Is that so? Alas... ”

Ape Fei Ri sighed deeply, and the old face suddenly had a few more wrinkles,

"It's all my dereliction of duty to fail to do the Hokage's job...

"No...

Uchiha Shisui could feel his self-reproach and hurriedly spoke,

"It's just a lack of communication on both sides... , everything is still turning around, and it has not reached the point where it cannot be reconciled... ”

"What if tomorrow it is announced that the budget of the Konoha Police Force will be cut by another thirty percent? How do you think the situation will play out ... ”

Sarutobi's gaze rested on Uchiha's face.

"Another 30% cut, this is absolutely not okay...

Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but shout, and his pale face suddenly turned red,

"The ninja life of the Konoha Police Force is already very poor, and many families are frugal and can only make ends meet. If the budget is cut again, many people will go hungry, and the children of the Uchiha clan will not be able to afford the ninja school... ”

"It's Danzo-sama's proposal, and it's been approved at the Council of Elders."

Ape Fei Ri's face was full of bitterness,

"The original proposal was to cut it by 40%. I tried my best to oppose it, but I couldn't change the decision of the other three elders. Cutting the budget by 30% is already the best I can get. ”

There was silence in the room.

The Uchiha stayed still, as if he hadn't recovered from the words of the ape flying sun.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid..."

After a long time, he struggled to squeeze a few words out of his mouth.

However, he could not say the latter words anyway.

That was what he feared the most, and what he didn't want to see.

"What are you afraid of..."

Ape Fei Ri asked eagerly.

"I'm afraid that the Uchiha clan will riot...

After struggling for a long time, the Uchiha Shisui finally said what he really thought from the bottom of his heart.

"That's what I'm worried about... ,”

The ape flew to a halt for half a second,

"Will you attend the next Uchiha clan meeting?"
