Chapter 227 Announcement of New Regulations

In front of the entrance of the Konoha Defense Force department.

Chiba is giving her inaugural speech as the captain of the Konoha Defense Force.

However, the strong tone of Chiba's speech made Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen very uncomfortable.

However, even though Qianyu knew that the two of them were not feeling well, she did not care.

After all, he is now the captain of the Konoha Defense Force. To put it bluntly, if the Hokage Minato Namikaze wants to intervene in the Konoha Defense Force, he must get his consent.

Chiba began to explain the duties of the Konoha Defense Force to the surrounding Konoha villagers.

"First of all, the first duty is to formulate the rules of the village. That is to say, all of you must abide by the rules formulated by our Konoha Defense Force. The rules formulated by the Konoha Police Force will be invalidated. But don't worry, we will continue to use most of the rules. They will just be transferred to our Konoha Defense Force. There will not be a big change in your life.

The second duty, arresting ninjas with criminal tendencies, is easier to understand. Except for the Yondaime's direct troops, the Konoha Defense Force has jurisdiction over all other ninjas. If we find that a ninja is about to commit a crime or has already committed a crime, the Konoha Defense Force will have the right to arrest him!"

After the ordinary villagers of Konoha heard that their lives would not change much, the others didn't care much.

Because for them, as long as their life is normal, any other changes have nothing to do with them.

Some ninjas in the crowd have already realized that this matter is not simple.

It seems that the Konoha Defense Force has only two simple powers, but these two powers alone mean that the Konoha Defense Force has much more power in Konoha than the Konoha Police Force.

This means that the current Konoha police force has almost no real power.

The ninjas who realized this problem were all very surprised. Could the Uchiha clan agree to this?

Qianyu didn't finish her speech, and continued: "Today, while everyone is here, on my first day in office, in the name of the captain of the Konoha Defense Force, I will add a new rule!"

Hearing Chiba's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Shisui's expressions suddenly changed.

Although Chiba is the captain of the Konoha Defense Force, the Konoha Defense Force also has the right to make regulations, but this requires discussion.

After all, the Konoha Defense Force has a vice-captain, Uchiha Shisui. By doing this, Chiyu is completely ignoring Uchiha Shisui and treating the Konoha Defense Force as his own one-man show.

Namikaze Minato stopped him in a voice that only Chiba could hear: "Chiba, we will discuss and decide on the new rules later."

Chiba looked at Minato Namikaze with a half-smile and said, "Fourth Hokage, this new rule will be of great benefit to our Konoha. For the prosperity of Konoha, I have no choice but to accept it. Moreover, the rules of the Konoha Police Force are formulated by Captain Uchiha Fugaku, so I should be able to do it, right?"

Namikaze Minato frowned and said, "That's because the Konoha Police Force has only one captain, Chiba. The Konoha Defense Force has not only you as captain, but also Shisui as vice-captain! When you make the rules, the two captains must discuss and submit them to me after they are approved. Only after I approve them can they be implemented, instead of you making the rules unilaterally!"

Qian Yu suddenly realized and said, "So that's how it is. I thought I could make it by myself. But Fourth Generation, I just put the word out, and there are so many villagers waiting to listen. It's not good to interrupt it so much.

Let me tell you the rules first, and then you can decide whether you agree or not. We are all here anyway."

Minato Namikaze looked very unhappy. After being silent for a while, he nodded.

Because today is Chiyu and Uchiha Shisui's first day in office, Chiyu should be given the face she deserves.

Qianyu chuckled and announced, "I hope to add a new rule, that is, from today on, if the ninjas arrested by the Konoha Defense Force have committed a crime that is not too serious, they will be required to pay bail according to the severity of the crime. After paying the bail, the arrested ninjas can leave the prison.

Of course, this provision only applies when the crime is not serious. If the crime exceeds the bail limit, this provision does not apply.

Of the bail money paid, the Konoha Defense Force will keep a portion for department maintenance, and the other portion will be handed over to the Fourth Hokage for use in the construction of Konoha.

This regulation can save Konoha's resources, reduce prison pressure, increase Konoha's income, and also enable the construction of Konoha. It can be said that it has no benefits but only harms.

The decision on this rule lies with the Fourth Hokage, so, Fourth Hokage, what do you think of this rule? Do you agree with it?"

Namikaze Minato thought with a serious face.

The requirement to pay bail seems to be beneficial to Konoha, but its disadvantages are also obvious.

The disadvantages of paying bail are the lack of mutual restraint, vague provisions on conditions, etc.

Namikaze Minato looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was also thinking.

At this time, Orochimaru suddenly said: "I think Chiba's rule is very good. After the Konoha police force arrests those who have committed crimes or have criminal tendencies, they are directly imprisoned. The funds invested by Konoha in these people every year are not a small amount. Obviously, some people do not need to be imprisoned.

So instead of wasting resources on them, it is better to use these people to benefit Konoha. Qianyu's rule can really help the development of Konoha."

Orochimaru spoke directly for Chiba.

The Konoha villagers who were watching the scene only knew that this rule sounded beneficial to them, and they immediately started discussing it one by one.

"Master Chiba's rule is very good. We can use the criminals' money to build Konoha. Why not do it?"

"Yes, we can't just leave those criminals behind. The money to take care of them must come from the taxes we pay."

"Then why not follow Lord Qianyu's rules? Not only can we save a lot of money, but we can also profit from these criminals. Isn't that better?"

...

The discussions around him put Minato Namikaze in a difficult position.

Given the current situation, it would be useless even if he disagreed.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen also nodded at him, indicating that Namikaze Minato agreed.

Namikaze Minato sighed slightly. After what Chiyu did today, Uchiha Shisui, the vice-captain, was completely suppressed by Chiyu.

Namikaze Minato asked symbolically: "Shisui, I think Chiba's rule is good, what do you think?"

Uchiha Shisui also understood the situation, and even though he was reluctant, he could only nod and say, "I agree."
