The Blade of **Endurance** Stabbed His Adoptive Father!

Inside the Hokage office.

"White Dove, there is a Kumogakure intelligence outpost on the border of the Land of Hot Water. I hope you can handle it; consider it the first S-rank mission for your Uchiha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a mission scroll and placed it on the desk.

This mission was something the F4 had discussed in advance; it was a test, and even more so, a "transaction" to facilitate the recovery of the Sharingan.

The mission would involve Kakashi assisting, and as long as nothing happened to harm the other party, they would ensure any major issues were downplayed and minor ones vanished.

"The Hokage really thinks highly of us Uchiha. We haven't taken a mission in so many years, and the first one is an S-rank mission!"

White Dove did not rush to accept the mission.

Although he did indeed need a mission to leave the village to handle his own affairs, that did not mean he would let the village manipulate him at will.

"Oh, is there some difficulty?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally understood that the other party saying this wasn't a refusal, but rather that there were conditions to be negotiated.

For him, he didn't fear the other party negotiating conditions; he only feared them not negotiating at all.

"I personally hope to contribute to Konoha, of course, but the Police Force has been unstable recently due to unpaid wages, so I would like to wait a while before executing this mission!"

White Dove proposed the terms of the trade.

He spoke so tactfully because he was currently only at the Kage level and did not yet have the qualifications to "refuse to eat beef," so everything had to be done according to the rules.

Once he had the strength to refuse, it would naturally be a case of "Hokage, it belongs to whoever has the strongest soldiers and horses."

Before he transmigrated, when he read those novels, the ones he looked down on most were the transmigrators who had no strength but acted all arrogant and cool.

Where was their brain?

In a ninja world where schemers were everywhere and conspiracies ran rampant, acting tough without strength was practically begging to be killed.

"As it happens, the relocation funds for your Uchiha have already had three hundred million ryo raised. Why don't you use this money to appease the Police Force first?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen "suddenly" thought of this sum of money.

One point five billion ryo was not a small amount; originally, it would have taken some time to allocate it to the Uchiha, but paying three hundred million in advance to exchange for the other party immediately executing this mission was not impossible.

"Executing missions for Konoha is the duty of the Uchiha. Rest assured, Hokage-sama, I will prepare and set off shortly!"

White Dove changed his tune from his previous hesitation, expressing his determination.

He was just one step away from shouting "Loyalty!" on the spot.

To be honest, hearing the other party be so generous and immediately allocating three hundred million ryo to him in advance, he had the urge to call him "Foster Father."

Although his ninja blade was not the Fang Tian Huaji, it was still specialized in stabbing foster fathers.

"That is good. Kakashi will lead the way for you; you two can also get to know each other better!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this with deep meaning.

The mission was not important; Kakashi was what mattered. This also represented their choice to protect the Sharingan in Danzo's eyes.

At this moment, they all believed that the Sharingan in Danzo's right eye was definitely Shisui's Mangekyo; otherwise, the man would not hold onto it so tightly. Therefore, trading it for the three-tomoe Sharingan in Kakashi's eye was extremely cost-effective.

The meat was in their own pot, and no matter how it was divided, it wouldn't go to outsiders. Thus, whether it was Sarutobi Hiruzen or the two advisors, they would tacitly use Kakashi for the trade.

"Then thank you, Hokage-sama, for your 'kindness'!"

White Dove naturally heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's implication, so he nodded.

This was the tacit understanding between the two sides.

The other party provided the opportunity, and if his side couldn't seize it, he couldn't blame the other party for not helping.

After finishing the conversation, White Dove took the mission scroll and took his leave.

The relationship between the two was entirely superficial, so there was no need for him to stay and engage in awkward acting.

However, when he left, he naturally took the money with him.

The money was packed in a sealing scroll and was delivered to him as he left.

White Dove immediately rushed to the Police Force.

Distributing money!

When it came to scattering wealth, he was a professional.

When he arrived at the Police Force, he discovered that the bulletin board already had a notice posted for the recruitment of 200 "temporary workers."

Of course, "temporary workers" was what White Dove called them in his heart; the official title was "City Management."

These ordinary people naturally couldn't be called "Police Officers." Their duties were only to handle minor daily matters, acting like village administrators, so the name didn't feel out of place.

After arriving at the Police Force, White Dove did not go to the Chief's office but stood directly in the middle of the lobby.

"Move a few tables over here!"

He directed several Uchiha to help.

Hearing his command, these administrative Uchiha began to execute the order without a word of complaint.

Swish!

Several desks were pushed together to form a small, makeshift platform.

"Bring out the payroll for the Police Force and tally it up. Let's see how much the village owes you. Today, I'm settling it all at once, and I'm adding an extra twenty percent for each of you as interest!"

White Dove announced this generously, simultaneously forming hand seals to extract money from his sealing scroll.

Poof!

After the white mist cleared, a pile of cash appeared on the table.

Three hundred million ryo, and since the denominations weren't particularly large (having been gathered from various Konoha departments), it naturally formed a small mountain.

Gulp!

Quite a few Uchiha swallowed hard.

Even though they had already received a payout per head yesterday, the fact that they could receive more now left them with only one thought in their minds.

"Loyal! Ty!!"

One Uchiha struck his chest with a clenched right fist, as if he couldn't vent the excitement in his heart any other way.

And this acted like a signal.

"Loyal! Ty!!"

"Loyal! Ty!!"

Earth-shattering chants erupted.

White Dove's reputation was already high, and now that he was handing out money back-to-back, how could they not be loyal?

Even if he told them to go hack the Hokage to pieces, these Uchiha clansmen would only ask, "Where is he?"

He had Uchiha Tomohiko, the Fourth Squad Captain who was previously his superior, assist him in distributing the tallied wages.

A salary of fifty thousand ryo was already low for a ninja, yet the village had been dragging its feet with various excuses, so it was no wonder the Uchiha were dissatisfied.

An average genin could earn 50,000 to 100,000 ryo a month with some effort, while a jonin averaged a million ryo monthly; even with the life-threatening risks involved, the gap was worlds apart.

Therefore, this pittance of a salary was truly unacceptable.

It was only because White Dove didn't want to satiate the Uchiha all at once that he hadn't already reformed the wage structure.

However, these things had to be done slowly; he would secure the financial path first.

With several hundred Uchiha, averaging a few hundred thousand ryo owed to each, it was clear this debt hadn't accumulated in just a day or two.

The three hundred million in cash he brought still had more than half remaining on the table after paying off the arrears, making countless Uchiha eyes burn with envy.

Thud!

White Dove jumped onto the pile of money, looked at the clansmen crowding the hall, and gave a highly inflammatory promise.

"Gentlemen, I have said it before: I, Uchiha White Dove, will not hoard this glory for myself. Follow me, and you will only gain more in the future!"

If Uchiha Fugaku had said this, no one would have paid him any mind.

But coming from White Dove, not a single Uchiha doubted it, and they all began to cheer fanatically.

"Loyal! Ty!"

The sound even attracted the attention of many people nearby, but hindered by the "fierce reputation" of the Uchiha, naturally, no one dared to come to the Police Force to investigate.

"Captain Tomohiko," White Dove said in a low voice after jumping down from the money pile to Uchiha Tomohiko, who had a sharper mind and a more stable personality. "I have to execute an S-rank village mission this afternoon. Take the remaining money back to the One Heart Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, select clansmen with potential; I will subsidize resources later to train them into ninjas!"

Entrusting these matters to him was not only to lighten the workload for Yashiro but also to put him to the test.

If he did well, he could serve as his right-hand man in the future.

"Yes, Minister!" Uchiha Tomohiko nodded to accept the task, feeling highly approving and admiring of White Dove's methods, though he asked with some concern, "I don't know how many people you plan to take with you this time; wouldn't it be better to bring a few more?"

Having finally produced such a capable and reliable high-ranking member of the clan, he didn't want the other party to encounter any accidents while executing the mission.

"Don't worry. Although this mission might have some 'surprises,' I naturally have my ways!"

White Dove carefully laid his cards on the table.

He certainly knew there was something wrong with this mission; after all, "the enemy is the F4" was no mere meme.

And the Mangekyo he had hidden would absolutely give any schemer a surprise.

Of course, he also had the intention of fishing.

Who was he fishing for?
