Chapter 210 Bail

Chiba explains to Danzo that as long as they stir up antagonism between the villagers and the Uchiha clan, those arrogant Uchiha clan members can be arrested for having criminal tendencies if they show a tendency to take action.

Danzo immediately became interested and gestured for Chiba to continue.

Qianyu continued, "According to the duties of the Konoha Guard, they have to patrol Konoha every day. At that time, we can, for example, let some villagers who have complaints about the Uchiha say bad things about the Uchiha, and then let these Uchiha people happen to hear it. As long as the Uchiha people make any unusual movements, they will be arrested immediately.

After this happened once or twice, the villagers knew that they had the support of our Konoha Defense Force and they no longer had to be afraid of the Uchiha Clan as before, so they could speak freely.

At that time, if the Uchiha clan members can't stand the abuse, whether they respond or fight, we will arrest them immediately and lock them up for a few days. If they want to be released early, they have to pay bail."

Danzo asked suspiciously, "Bail?"

Qianyu nodded and explained, "That's right, in fact, these can't be called crimes at all. They were only arrested very reluctantly on the grounds of having criminal tendencies, and they were detained for two days at most.

In this case, it is better to maximize the benefits. The last thing the Uchiha lacks is money. If you want to leave early, just pay the bail.

If it is a person's first time, he can pay 10 taels of bail and leave directly. The second time, he needs 20 taels, and the third time, 30 taels, and so on.

If the case is handled, the bail will have to be raised directly to 50 taels before bail can be granted, and so on.

Anyway, the Konoha Defense Force can dictate the village's rules, so this bail will become the first new rule of the new department."

Chiba explains the bail plan to Danzo.

This is Qianyu’s plan to make money.

After all, the richest family in Konoha is the Uchiha clan.

He collected the wealth of the Uchiha clan and then used it to support his organization.

Those Uchiha clan members are so concerned about their reputation that Qianyu is not afraid that they will not pay the bail.

After hearing Qianyu's explanation, Danzo also showed a sinister smile: "It's a good idea. If it goes well, the Uchiha clan's reputation in Konoha will disappear completely, and no one will be afraid of him. At that time, it will be easier to suppress the Uchiha clan.

The cells for holding those Uchiha should be placed in the Root, so that they can feel the atmosphere of the Root."

Chiyu was even happier when she heard that Danzo was going to lock up the Uchiha clan members who committed crimes in the Root in the future. In this case, the imprisoned Uchiha clan members would be more willing to pay bail.

Danzo looked at Chiyu with eyes full of admiration.

He could come up with such a mean idea, which really suits his taste.

An old fox and a little fox, both smiled sinisterly with tacit understanding.

...

At this time, Minato Namikaze and Shisui Uchiha had already arrived at the Uchiha clan's territory and met Uchiha Fugaku.

The three of them sat on the tatami. Uchiha Fugaku poured a cup of tea for Namikaze Minato and asked with a smile, "Fourth Hokage, how come you have time to come to my place today?"

After taking a sip of tea, Namikaze Minato said, "Patriarch Fugaku, I came to you this time because I have something to inform you about, regarding the adjustment of the authority of the Konoha Guard Force."

Uchiha Fugaku paused as he picked up the teacup.

What Namikaze Minato was talking about was a notification, which means it was something that had already been decided.

Uchiha Fugaku asked calmly, "Adjustment of the authority of the Konoha Guard? What authority does the Fourth Hokage want to adjust?"

Namikaze Minato replied: "Regarding the two powers of making village regulations and arresting ninjas with criminal tendencies, Konoha will establish a new department in the future, and these two powers will be divided into the new department."

Uchiha Fugaku's expression finally changed and his brows frowned slightly, because the two most important powers of the Konoha Guard Force are to formulate regulations for the village and arrest ninjas with criminal tendencies.

Uchiha Fugaku asked, "Fourth Hokage, is there something we did wrong? And why do you want to set up a new department and adjust the authority of the Konoha Guard? How come I, the captain, don't know anything about it?"

Namikaze Minato sighed and said, "Patriarch Fugaku, this is the result of a joint discussion between the Hokage Assistant, the Sandaime and me."

Uchiha Fugaku's pupils dilated a little.

Hokage assists...Danzo?

And does Sarutobi Hiruzen agree?

This means that Konoha’s top leaders still want to target the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Fugaku felt very aggrieved. He had already lowered his posture so much, but these people still couldn't let them go?

Namikaze Minato said to Uchiha Fugaku: "Clan leader Fugaku, I know you are worried, but don't worry, I believe in you and am willing to believe in the Uchiha clan, and Shisui will be the deputy leader of the new department."

The frustration in Uchiha Fugaku's heart suddenly dissipated a little.

If Uchiha Shisui becomes the deputy leader of the new department, that would be a different matter.

but...

Uchiha Fugaku asked: "Yondaime, who will be the leader of the new department..."

Namikaze Minato was a little afraid to look into Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, and after slightly squinting his eyes, he replied: "It's Chiba."

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Isn’t this just a joke?

Who doesn't know that Qianyu is eager to kill all Uchiha?

Even if Uchiha Shisui becomes the deputy leader, can he suppress the killer Chiyu?

This is clearly targeting the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Fugaku said in a deep voice: "Fourth Hokage, I know that our Uchiha clan once caused a lot of trouble to Konoha, but that was in the past. I have tried my best to change my clan members, and now I am also trying my best to restrain them. If the Fourth Hokage or other senior leaders have any opinions, you can raise them, and I will definitely try my best to satisfy them.

However, the Konoha Guard was founded by the Second Hokage. Although our Uchiha clan has gone a bit too far before, we have always been doing our best to fulfill the duties of the Konoha Guard.

So please, Fourth Generation, reconsider and take back this order!"

"Lord Patriarch..."

Uchiha Shisui wanted to speak up for Namikaze Minato, but Uchiha Fugaku looked at him fiercely and said, "Shisui, I'm discussing something with the Fourth Hokage now. If you have anything to say, talk to me later!"

This matter concerns the entire Uchiha clan. Uchiha Fugaku must make his attitude clear and try his best to make Namikaze Minato take back his decision.

Otherwise, these people of his own are not easy to deal with.

Uchiha Shisui opened his mouth, but finally had to close it.

Namikaze Minato said helplessly: "Patriarch Fugaku, I know you are worried. In fact, I am worried too, so I let Shisui be the deputy leader."

Uchiha Fugaku said seriously: "Fourth-generation, Shisui is indeed very good, but facing Chiba, Shisui is still too young."

In Uchiha Fugaku's opinion, it is absolutely impossible for Uchiha Shisui to suppress Chiba unless the long-dead Uchiha Madara is resurrected.

For the benefit of the Uchiha clan, he must now fight for his rights.
