Chapter 26 The Daming Palace delays funding, Sarutobi Hiruzen can’t sit still
Among the information Yan sold, one was aimed at the daimyo.
Anyway, it’s not like Danzo has never done anything to threaten the great names of the Fire Country.
If such information is thrown out, it will definitely cause a lot of misunderstandings.
The Kingdom of Fire is not the Kingdom of Earth, nor is it the Kingdom of Thunder.
The daimyo of the Land of Earth and the Land of Thunder can be as close as the Tsuchikage and Raikage, but not the Land of Fire.
No one would allow the Daimyo to reach into Konoha.
Among the five major countries, the Daimyo of the Fire Country is in the most embarrassing situation.
His relationship with Konoha is not very good, nor is it too bad, but he always uses his brains to dig into Konoha's corners, and is always on guard against Konoha's higher-ups.
In addition, Danzo once threatened the daimyo, which can be used.
So Yan decisively prepared a piece of false information and threw it out.
As for how big the gain is, it depends on how much the daimyo hates Danzo, and how much the daimyo cherishes his own life.
"Daimyo, you can't question me like this."
The staff became anxious and quickly persuaded:
"Let's not talk about whether the information is true or false. Even if it is true, you can't question it like this. Otherwise, what if you force the other party to jump over the wall?"
"Then tell me, what should I do!!!"
Da Ming shook his sleeves and sat on the chair angrily.
Every time he recalled the way Danzo looked at him, he felt panicked, fearing that Danzo would chop him into pieces one day.
Wiping the sweat from his head, the staff member spoke out his suggestions.
"Daimyo, direct questioning is not acceptable. Since Shimura Danzo dares to threaten you and have undue thoughts, it means that he will really take action. We should not directly question you, but beat him.
I remember that the time for the Daming Prefecture to allocate funds to Konoha Village this year is coming up. "
The development of the village cannot be separated from a large amount of money.
Even if Konoha can run on its own, ninjas are big spenders of money, so it's not easy to train them, and it's even harder to raise them.
The money earned from running Konoha alone cannot afford to support so many people.
Fund allocation for Daming Prefecture is a top priority.
Just look at the Suna Ninja Village. Just because the daimyo was unhappy that the Suna Ninja Village kept losing battles, the funding was reduced. As a result, the Suna Ninja Village tightened its belt and continued to lay off redundant ninjas, forcing it to take the elite route.
"Let's drag the money first, and then let Sarutobi Hiruzen come to the Daming Mansion, beat him up, and let him target Danzo."
If you ask directly, it might cause Danzo to backlash, but it is different to let the Third Hokage do it.
If you don’t handle this well, I won’t give you the money!
You don’t dare to kill me anyway.
At worst, let the information out and let the entire ninja world see how ugly your Konoha face is.
The higher the person sits, the more he cherishes his life. The more he cherishes his life, the more suspicious he becomes.
No, just because of an unconfirmed piece of information from an unknown source, the Daimyo had already suspected Danzo.
After all, Danzo once threatened him and really wanted to attack him.
"Okay, let's do this. If Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't give me a reasonable explanation, I will announce everything!!!"
During the Third Ninja War, Konoha suffered serious losses, and coupled with the twists and turns of the Nine-Tails Night, it undoubtedly made Konoha's finances worse.
Even after several years, Konoha still has not been able to calm down.
Every day, the Third Hokage would worry about the village's financial vacancy.
Konoha is short of money, seriously short of money.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Come in."
Hearing the knock on the door, the Third Hokage put down the documents in his hand and rubbed his sore eyes.
After the door opened and he saw who walked in clearly, the Third Hokage smiled and asked:
"It's Xiaochun, what do you want to see me for?"
"The main reason is to ask you why the date has passed but the funding from Daming Prefecture has not been received."
They are all old friends, and the conversation is relatively direct and relaxed, as if asking a friend if he has eaten.
"Didn't the money arrive?"
The Third Hokage couldn't help but frown. The Daming Mansion was very punctual every year.
"Perhaps there is something delayed. If it is not there after a few days, I will send someone to ask."
"Remember to urge me, there are many places in the village that need money."
When she went to bed, Koharu also reminded the Third Hokage not to forget, and then left directly. As an elder adviser, she also had a lot of things at hand, and she was not as free as Danzo.
What the Third Hokage never expected was that the delay in funding from the Daming Mansion would cause a delay of half a month without any movement.
After being urged several times by Koharu, who had moved to another dormitory, the Third Hokage realized that things were not that simple.
If it was just delayed, someone from Daming Mansion would definitely inform him.
But half a month has passed, but there is no movement at all. This is very wrong.
Daming Mansion began to exert its strength.
On the Uchiha side, Hiko, who had rested for half a month, couldn't bear it anymore and finally returned to his post.
"We said half a month ago that we would negotiate to rectify the police department. Half a month has passed and there is still no movement."
It's really unreliable.
Yan could already imagine the scene where Fugaku, the patriarch, and several elders were arguing with each other, talking about things here and there, and ended up not being able to talk about the actual business.
It was Fugaku's misfortune to have a few elders who were too selfish.
It’s not that easy to be a clan leader.
"Captain, do we need to go out on patrol?"
Not to mention that Yan was so choked up that even Quan wanted to go out for a walk.
It's a pity that for half a month, she could only stay by Yan's side obediently every day, and then be dragged to study every day.
"Wait for the notification from the clan leader."
Although there is no need to squat at home, Fugaku still asks Yan to stay in the police department as much as possible instead of running out to patrol or deal with various security incidents.
Yan knew that Fugaku did this for his own good, and he was afraid that he would be blackmailed by Danzo.
"Move all the files out of the cabinet."
Rest is rest, and the files that need to be processed are still being processed.
He rested at home, but the patrol and duty of the third team still continued.
As for the handling of various cases, we can only put them aside and wait for him to return before handling them.
In the Hokage's office building, the Third Hokage could no longer sit still.
Money is needed everywhere in the village, but there is no movement at all from the Daming Mansion. The people sent there didn't even see the Daming's face.
There is definitely something wrong with this.
The Third Hokage decided to go there himself.
"Kakashi, I'll be working hard on you for the rest of the time."
When the Hokage travels, someone will definitely follow and protect him. This time when he went to Daming Mansion, the Third Hokage decided to take Kakashi and the ANBU team he led with him.
Kakashi, who was wearing an ANBU mask, lowered his head slightly and did not speak.
"By the way, inform Uchiha Fugaku and ask him to come see me."
Finally, recalling the report of the ANBU ninja who monitored Uchiha in the morning, the Third Hokage decided to meet Uchiha Fugaku. He felt that he needed to confirm some information.
After receiving the notice, Fugaku immediately put down what he was doing and came to the Hokage's office building.
But what Fugaku didn't expect was that after the meeting, the Third Hokage chatted for a few words and then changed the topic to Hiko.
