Uchiha Kō naturally noticed Senju Hashirama's expression, and with a thought, he understood what he was thinking. He sighed and said, "Since the Senju clan leader has arrived, please take a seat."
Senju Hashirama got so angry that he stopped calling him "Grandpa," but Senju Tobirama caught him and pointed to Nara Seifu and Nara Meigetsu, who were taking notes at the meeting.
"Brother, this meeting is of great importance. It will determine the future development plan of Konoha for the next hundred years. Every word and action must be recorded. It's fine for Uchiha Kō to call you the Senju clan leader, but it wouldn't sound right to call you grandfather," Senju Tobirama immediately advised.
Upon Senju Hashirama finally realized what was happening, nodded, and took the seat of honor.
Following closely behind, Uchiha walked in front, with Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Hirotomo behind him, making a dazzling entrance.
Hearing the sound, Senju Hashirama looked towards the door and saw Uchiha. His expression softened, and he patted the seat next to him. "Madara, come sit here!"
He forgot Senju Tobirama's instructions and still uttered those words. Senju Tobirama frowned, looked at Nara Seifu and Nara Meigetsu, and the two nodded, forgetting about those words.
Senju Tobirama breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Brother! I won't forget our purpose today! We can catch up anytime!"
Senju Hashirama pouted in grievance, then finally sat down. Uchiha was somewhat helpless, but still sat down next to Senju Hashirama, followed by Izuna and Guangzhi.
Senju Hashirama's mind immediately started working, and he began to chat quietly with Uchiha, his eyes full of joy.
Uchiha would nod, or give responses like "um," "ah," "yes," "that's right," or "you're right."
Senju Hashirama didn't see anything wrong and continued sharing many interesting stories with Uchiha. At this moment, Senju Tobirama couldn't sit still anymore and pulled Senju Hashirama back.
Senju Hashirama finally realized what was happening and sat up straight, but his eyes kept glancing at Uchiha, a smirk playing on his lips.
Seeing this, Uchiha Kō couldn't help but twitch his lips. No wonder Grandma Mito always hated Uchiha; no one could stand this.
Next up was Hyuga Akagi tomorrow, so he could spend more time tonight watching and learning from Uchiha Kō's meeting speeches, which would be much more useful than going to school.
Hyuga Hiashi Uchiha Fugaku, Hiashi Hyuga sat expressionless next to his father, Hyuga Akagi sat next to Uchiha Hirotomo.
Uchiha Hirotomo greeted him and then looked at Uchiha Kō was resting with his eyes closed.
Hyuga Akagi nodded in response and also looked at Uchiha Kō.
Immediately afterwards, the various clans arrived. They witnessed such a solemn scene, and with Uchiha Kō resting with his eyes closed, they dared not utter a sound, for fear of angering Uchiha Kō.
They all took their seats, speaking and moving cautiously. Only after the last clan leader arrived did Hatake Sakumo enter, close the door, and then come to Uchiha Kō's side.
After hearing footsteps and the sound of a door closing, Uchiha Kō opened his eyes and looked at Hatake Sakumo.
Hatake Sakumo nodded and bowed. "Reporting to the Lord Hokage, all the major and minor clans of Konoha and high-ranking officials from various industries have arrived. Please give your instructions!"
Uchiha Kō nodded. "Let's begin the meeting."
"Yes!" Hatake Sakumo straightened his body and shouted, turning to his left to face everyone.
"The meeting begins!" he shouted, his voice booming.
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they sat up straight, looking at Uchiha Kō. Uchiha Kō spoke first, "Now that everyone is here, I'd like to announce something."
"This time, the Daimyo of the Land of Earth launched a war without provocation, posing a huge threat to my reputation, Konoha's reputation, and everyone's personal safety. Therefore, we went to resolve this matter yesterday."
"The Daimyo was very grateful to us, so he 'voluntarily' compensated us with a sum of money as an apology and to aid the development of Konoha. Please remember the kindness of the Daimyo of the Land of Earth."
"Let's give a two-minute round of applause to the Daimyo of the Land of Earth Land of Earth," Uchiha Kō said with a smile.
Everyone laughed. What a convenient initiative, what a convenient apology! Although everyone understood what was going on, how could they possibly undermine the Lord Hokage? This money was meant for the development of Konoha.
Two minutes later
Everyone's face was beaming with smiles, and seeing this, Uchiha Kō no longer hesitated.
"First, thank you, Your Daimyo; we've finished. Second, the resources need to be allocated appropriately."
"Dean Tsunade, please feel free to express any material needs you may have. Everyone here is watching, and I'm sure you value the development of medical care in Konoha and won't object," Uchiha Kō with a smile.
Everyone nodded. The medical industry is related to the lives, health, and safety of the villagers, and during wartime, it is related to whether the wounded can receive treatment and to what extent they can recover. This is of great significance to every family and every individual.
Tsunade stood up, her face serious. She looked at Uchiha Kō, bowed, and then bowed to all the attendees.
"Currently, Konoha Hospital is definitely more advanced in terms of environment compared to hospitals in other villages, but it lags behind Kumogakure in terms of sophisticated equipment and various surgical instruments."
"Admittedly, the ninjas at Konoha Hospital are highly skilled and dedicated. However, certain surgeries and instruments can provide convenience for doctors and better treatment conditions for patients. Therefore, I would like to apply for 20 billion yen to import medical equipment, so that the money is spent where it is most needed."
"To provide better medical conditions for patients in Konoha, so that everyone can be free from the suffering of illness." Tsunade looked at everyone with a serious expression.
Everyone nodded. Tsunade had mentioned wanting to purchase a batch of medical equipment a couple of years ago, but the Third Hokage rejected the idea because the village didn't have enough funds.
With so much liquid capital available now, it's not unreasonable for them to ask for 20 billion!
"Now raise your hands to vote. Raise your right hand if you support it, and your left hand if you don't," Uchiha Kō said calmly, then raised his right hand.
Everyone:...
Then, the Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki, Hyuga all raised their right hands, followed by the smaller clans.
Uchiha Kō instructed Hatake Sakumo to go and tally the votes. Five minutes later, Hatake Sakumo returned and said, "Unanimously approved."
Uchiha Kō nodded. "In that case, Lu Ming, assist by recording the hospital's affairs. After the meeting, hand over the funds to Director Tsunade, and then select an Anbu to accompany the entire process and record the details."
"Make sure every penny is spent on the right things!" Uchiha Kō's words shocked everyone. "Even though she's not your wife, you're still so strict about her?"
Tsunade and Uchiha Kō had already discussed it, so Tsunade understood Uchiha Kō's purpose in doing so and was not angry.
The Hokage's wife must use all the money for good and accept the supervision of the Anbu. You (clan leaders and superiors) should not even think about skimming off the top!
