Let the Notice Make the Rounds

Someone read the notice aloud.

"Recruiting all Konoha ninja?"

"Genin get a monthly allowance of 50,000 Ryō?"

"Chunin get 200,000 Ryō a month?"

"Jonin get 350,000 Ryō a month?!"

The moment that figure was read out, the villagers gathered around erupted.

"How much? Fifty thousand for Genin? Two hundred thousand for Chunin?!"

"I work myself to the bone on missions all month and only make thirty or forty thousand..."

"That's more than you earn from missions!"

"And it's nowhere near as dangerous!"

A young man dressed as a Genin lit up.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand... That's Elite Jōnin-level income!"

"You can make that much working for the Konoha Military Police Force?"

A middle-aged ninja beside him frowned.

"Don't get excited yet. Keep reading."

Someone continued down the notice.

"Eight hours of work a day..."

"Rotating through three shifts..."

"Free to take missions during time off..."

"There's time off? And you can take missions then?"

"Wouldn't that mean two sources of income?"

The ninja in the crowd began breathing faster.

But what truly stunned them came next.

"Ninja who join the Konoha Military Police Force can send their children to train at the Uchiha Training Ground free of charge..."

"They can train alongside Uchiha children..."

"Those who excel may also earn the chance to learn the Uchiha Clan's standard ninjutsu..."

The entire Square fell silent.

Every ninja there froze.

A chance to learn ninjutsu?

The Uchiha Clan's ninjutsu?

Those techniques were the most closely guarded assets of the great ninja clans, secrets never taught to outsiders!

And the Uchiha Clan was willing to let outsiders learn them?

A young civilian ninja flushed with excitement.

"Is this for real?!"

"If I could learn Uchiha ninjutsu... my strength would shoot up!"

"Are the Uchiha doing charity work?"

His companion rubbed his hands
