"That's right!"
Don't put it so harshly.
Haruma chimed in, "We're ridding the Shinobi World of a menace! It's time for those ruthless merchants who leech off ordinary people to pay the price!"
The phantom of Fugaku shuddered, and finally nodded resignedly.
"Oh, right."
Haruma spoke up, reminding him, "Don't even think about using Genjutsu to kill them later!"
Fugaku Phantom rippled again, gritting his teeth as he asked, "Why?!"
"Isn't the goal to rid the Shinobi World of a menace? Wouldn't it be better to take the item and then kill them?"
Haruma glanced at Fugaku with disdain, "You've killed everyone, so who's going to spread the news?"
"How did Madara Uchiha's name become so renowned throughout the Shinobi World?"
Fugaku continued to tremble, his mouth opening and closing, but he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
What a tragedy!!!
Fugaku still hasn't gotten a definitive answer from Haruma about whether Madara is dead or alive.
But with this reputation resounding throughout the Shinobi World...
Even if Madara dies, he'll crawl out and fight this thing to the death!
Recalling the scene of Shisui turning into a stone statue at the Haruma Hut, Fugaku felt a chill in his heart and argued again, "If we don't kill those people, won't they just come back?"
"Anyway, all you want is their wealth. Once you have it, you might as well kill them." There was a hint of pleading in Fugaku's voice as he said this.
He would much rather go to the battlefield for a grand and epic battle than pretend to be a delusional teenager and rob someone.
They still used the name of their ancestors.
Haruma looked at Fugaku as if he were an idiot, "Start over?"
"If they come again, won't you steal it again?"
"If we do this a few more times, and they realize we're watching them all the time, they'll naturally change their ways."
"Perhaps after they have a sudden realization, they will become kind, frugal, and charitable good companies and good bosses."
Upon hearing this, Mikoto and Itachi couldn't help but feel sympathy for Fugaku, whose phantoms surged like a tidal wave.
Especially Shisui, who could completely empathize, almost overflowed with sympathy in his eyes.
He was just a relatively well-known ninja in his clan, and he felt somewhat ashamed to do these things.
Moreover, he is the head of a prestigious clan renowned throughout the entire Shinobi World.
Fugaku let out a long sigh and then fell silent.
He didn't want to argue anymore; when money is involved, there's really no bottom line...
Even more inhumane!
Smack
Like the crisp sound of a bubble bursting, Fugaku's phantom vanished instantly.
I don't know if I interrupted it myself, or if I was oral sexed by Haruma.
Haruma didn't seem to care about the puppet's departure, and simply yawned, saying, "If there's nothing else, let's adjourn the meeting."
"I'm so sleepy!"
It wasn't that Haruma lacked energy; it was that he had fought for too long in the training room with Teacher Guy had opened Seventh Gate, and had exhausted too much of his spirit.
He still didn't use Ninjutsu, only pure Taijutsu.
Without using Ninjutsu or Dōjutsu, Haruma was completely outmatched against Seventh Gate Guy, only able to occasionally retaliate thanks to the abnormal regenerative power of his Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.
But while suffering, Haruma's combat abilities also grew and transformed at an extremely exaggerated speed!
The next day,
The clan chief's office.
The desk and the mountain of documents were squeezed into a corner of the room.
In the very center of the room, a luxurious five-meter-long bed, which Haruma had casually summoned using Wood Release, occupied what used to be his office space.
At this moment, Haruma's stand-in, in the form of Fugaku, was fast asleep on the bed, while his spirit was immersed in the training room.
This method, which involves no real damage but allows one to continuously fight against various powerful opponents and grow stronger, is undoubtedly favored by Haruma Tian.
Quietly cultivate your skills, then amaze everyone.
It's simply a dreamlike, divine skill of old silver coins.
Knock knock knock,
The guard knocked on the door and said directly from outside, "Clan Head Fugaku, the Hokage has sent word that you are attending a meeting."
"Meeting?"
Haruma pushed open the door, straightened her clothes, and secretly pondered the old fox's purpose.
Hokage Building.
The spacious conference room had only a handful of people inside.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, dressed in the Hokage robes, sat at the head of the table, with two elderly men sitting beside him.
Current Konoha High Command, Hokage Advisor: Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu.
Unfortunately, Konoha's old F4 group was forced to disband due to Danzo's defection.
Representatives from the various clans of Konoha were also present at the lower level.
The powerful Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hiashi.
The Akimichi Clan, a faction of the Hokage, is headed by Akimichi Chōza. The Yamanaka Clan is headed by Inoichi. The Nara Clan is headed by Shikaku Nara.
Almost all of Konoha's top figures gathered here.
There was one empty seat left at the front of the row, which was reserved for the Uchiha Clan were located on the very edge of the village, far from the center.
As Fugaku made his final entrance, the Anbu members withdrew and slowly closed the door.
Haruma, now transformed into Fugaku, sat in a chair, observing everyone in the room with great interest.
Haruma noticed something interesting: not all ninja clans were summoned for this meeting.
Apart from Shikaku Nara, who was regarded as a strategist by Sarutobi, the others were all clan chiefs who had previously made deals with Fugaku.
Sarutobi narrowed his eyes, subtly glancing at Fugaku before saying in a deep voice, "The main purpose of this meeting is to address the numerous complaints about the Police Force."
As expected.
A slight smile played on Haruma's lips, but he inwardly sighed: the aftereffects were coming on faster than he had imagined.
Sarutobi glanced at the crowd below and said solemnly, "The basic duties of the Police Force are to be fair, impartial, and govern according to the law."
"In a very short time, all the complaint mailboxes in Konoha were overflowing with letters! Some merchants even directly dropped their letters into the mission mailbox at the Hokage Building!"
"Favoring their own ninjas, protecting their own business, targeting similar shops, etc."
"I do not wish for any of these chaotic situations to occur within Konoha!"
Sarutobi said sternly, "If this happens again, I will have the Anbu personally deal with the offender!"
"After the meeting, the clan heads relayed the message to all members serving in the Police Force."
The clan leaders below the stage, except for Haruma and Shikaku Nara nodded in agreement.
Shikaku had never agreed to Fugaku's deal in the first place; he was only there as a strategist to help Sarutobi analyze the situation, and to help someone else.
Haruma ignored it because, apart from himself as the captain, there wasn't a single Uchiha Clan left in the Police Force.
Sarutobi didn't specifically mention any particular company, nor did he pursue the various violations that had already occurred. He simply ordered them to rectify the situation now, which was already quite lenient of him.
The clan chiefs dared not outwardly comply but inwardly defy them, and were determined to go back and have a serious talk with their clansmen.
Haruma chuckled inwardly, thinking, "It's too late to change it now."
Sarutobi's biggest mistake was not to take the matter seriously as soon as it was discovered.
The conflict has already begun; the clan chiefs may choose to ignore it or strictly order their clansmen to enforce the law fairly in the future.
But those merchants and ordinary people who have been treated unfairly are not so easily forgiven.
Failing to compensate merchants who were unfairly punished, and failing to hold family members accountable for previous illegal enforcement actions, is also a major blunder.
The Uchiha Clan has been the subject of numerous complaints because they have always strictly enforced the law and never looked at the background of the offenders.
Whether they are clan ninjas or ordinary civilians, anyone who violates the rules will be dealt with severely.
This kind of inhumane law enforcement is the root cause of public dislike and complaints.
The newly appointed Police Force, however, are too sentimental.
They turn a blind eye to things involving their own ninjas and merchants with whom they have connections.
They dealt with ninjas and shops outside their own organization.
In this model, if even one person starts it, it will undoubtedly lead to a significant internal struggle.
Today you deal with my clan's ninjas, tomorrow I'll be keeping an eye on your clan's shops.
In a short time
Not only was Konoha's commercial district greatly affected, but several law enforcement ninja families also developed a degree of mutual animosity.
