When they saw that the money belonging to Sarutobi Goken, Sarutobi Miyagi, and Sarutobi Yoshiko had not been confiscated, even though some of it was illegal, the remaining Sarutobi ninja immediately relaxed and began lining up to be registered and inspected.
Before long, the assets of over a thousand Sarutobi ninja had been counted, and they had passed the genjutsu interrogations.
Box after box of money was carried out of the Sarutobi clan compound.
More and more Konoha villagers gathered to watch. Their eyes went from shock, to anger, and then to hatred.
Uchiha Tekka read aloud, "Registrant: Sarutobi Tojo, jonin, carrying 1.43 billion ryo in cash, and assorted gold, silver, and jewelry..."
"Sarutobi Tojo, head of the Mission Settlement Department, embezzled 1.74 billion ryo in rewards..."
A lame jonin pointed at the boxes in the Sarutobi clansmen's hands and roared, "Some of that is my money! I carried out several S-rank missions on the battlefield, and they docked half my reward!"
Uchiha Kawamo read aloud, "Registrant: Sarutobi Eiki, jonin, carrying 1.53 billion ryo in cash, and assorted gold, silver, and jewelry..."
"Sarutobi Eiki, head of the Logistics Department, embezzled 2.34 billion ryo in compensation payments..."
An old woman's voice trembled as tears rolled down her face. "My son's compensation money... They said the finances were tight and only gave me thirty percent..."
"Kill them!" someone screamed, picking up a stone and hurling it over.
These Sarutobi clansmen were all jonin, and they easily dodged the stones.
Then Sarutobi Eiki sneered and deliberately said loudly, "What? You filthy commoners think you're worthy of laying hands on me?"
The ninja of the Uchiha Military Police Force quickly stepped forward and stopped the furious villagers.
"Uchiha! Are you protecting them?"
"They embezzled our money! What right do they have to leave?"
