Chapter 693: There are no long-term allies in the face of interests

As long as the family’s land is not replaced, nothing else matters.

There isn't much else in the entire Fire Kingdom, except for a lot of forests and grasslands. There are plenty of places to raise deer, so they can be moved anywhere they want.

Even if Yan doesn't help with this matter, Zhu Ludie can handle it easily.

"The sites used for breeding by the three pig, deer and butterfly companies can be used for other purposes. I will inform you of the specific arrangements once I have thought of them."

You need to think carefully about what to do with a piece of grassland and a forest. If you really can't figure it out, just leave it alone and wait until it is fully developed before doing anything else.

Konoha is developing everywhere now, so there is no shortage of space here.

Asking the pig, deer and butterfly to move their breeding grounds to other places in advance is also for future considerations. It is better to deal with it now than to worry about it later.

"Everyone, I have something ugly to say first."

Yan solemnly reminded the people of each family:

"Although the old city will not be changed much, and the territories of the families will not be taken back by the village, the village is protecting the interests of the families. At the same time, I also hope that the families can be more stable and not just do some renovations today and tear down a few houses tomorrow."

"Hokage-sama means that the buildings in the old town cannot be easily moved?"

"Nonsense, if it's moved, is it still considered an old town?"

Where there are advantages, there are definitely disadvantages. There is no way around it. If the families cannot accept it, they will withdraw early and move to other areas. The land and houses will be taken over by the village.

I can't possibly let you take all the benefits, right?

Fortunately, not every ninja family is called the Sarutobi clan, and not every ninja family is so shameless.

This situation has little impact on the families present, as the population of these families is not as large as that of Uchiha, Hyuga, and Sarutobi.

The Uchiha and Hyuga clan territories are located in two different corners of the village, and the affairs of the old town have nothing to do with them.

Only the Sarutobi clan was shot.

Everyone even suspected whether Yan was deliberately targeting the Sarutobi clan.

After all, the Sarutobi clan's territory is also in the old city. Unlike other clans, the Sarutobi clan has many people, many people and many ninjas. As the clan develops from generation to generation, their numbers will only continue to increase, and the clan's territory cannot be expanded. They even have to maintain the current situation.

If this continues for a long time, many members of the Sarutobi clan will face the embarrassing situation of being forced to leave the family and find other ways out.

Subconsciously, everyone couldn't help but look at the representative of the Sarutobi clan.

The Third Hokage is the pillar of the Sarutobi clan. It is impossible for him to be involved in such matters, so he can only choose someone from the family to be the representative.

Is the family being targeted?

The representative of the Sarutobi clan looked unhappy, but he did not dare to stand up and question Yan whether he was deliberately targeting the Sarutobi clan.

The representative of the Sarutobi clan did not dare to ask, but Yan took the initiative to explain:

"This plan is not aimed at the Sarutobi clan. In fact, the Sarutobi clan has developed too fast, which no one expected. I will not mention the past again. Of course, even if I want to mention it, I will not talk to you, but directly to the Sandaime-sama."

The representative of the Sarutobi clan breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone knew that Yan and the Third Hokage had a bad relationship.

But Yan is the kind of person who says what he thinks. If he wants to target you, he will just start directly without beating around the bush.

As long as he opened his mouth, it meant that he was not targeting the Sarutobi clan.

"Hokage, other families may be suitable to continue to take root in the old city, but the Sarutobi family... I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult. After all, there are too many people in the family, and the clan will definitely expand to the surrounding areas."

"That is something the Sarutobi clan needs to consider, not me, or rather, it needs to be considered by Sandaime-sama himself."

If your Sarutobi clan becomes larger in number and there isn't enough space to live in the clan land, it's none of my business, right?

I, Uchiha Hiko, did not force you to stay in the old town.

"Go back and discuss this with the Sandaime. The Sarutobi clan should either make plans in advance or move directly to other areas. Although the village is developing rapidly, there is still a lot of space for the Sarutobi clan to be resettled."

Want the benefits of the old town but don’t want to move away?

Then I'm sorry, but all of you in the Sarutobi clan must either stay in your current clan territory or move away.

It's not that everyone has to squeeze together in pigeon coops, but it's impossible for every household to have a yard like before.

How you squeeze in is your own business. The village will not divide the land of unowned people or other families to you.

As for the houses or land of ordinary families, it is even more impossible to give them to you.

As long as the Sarutobi clan is unwilling to move away, they will inevitably be forced to squeeze together, unless they have the strength to take over the Senju clan's land.

Take over the Thousand Hands’ land?

Unless Tsunade is crazy, she will not give the Senju clan's land to the Sarutobi clan.

"But..." The representative of the Sarutobi clan made a bitter face.

Yan didn't want to listen to his explanation and continued:

"Of course, you can ask other families to cede some of their territory, such as the Shimura clan and the Tatene clan. These families have small populations but large territories."

Even if you are the Third Hokage, can you bite your own people?

If they don't take action, the Sarutobi clan will soon be squeezed together. If they take action, the difficulties of the Sarutobi clan will be solved, but attacking their allies will make the reputation of the Third Hokage even worse.

It will also make the family whose flesh is being cut off completely away from the Sarutobi clan.

It is even possible that these families would surrender voluntarily.

Alliances are established on the basis of interests.

Not only can the Sarutobi clan not bring them any benefits, they also want to cut flesh from them!

This may?

If one thing goes wrong, the Sarutobi clan will become like the Uchiha clan of the past and become a lonely family.

As soon as Yan's words came out, the representatives of several families who were mentioned immediately became alert.

Their current relationship with the Sarutobi clan is not as close as before, and the Sarutobi clan wants to cut flesh from them?

What a joke.

You, the Sarutobi clan, want to develop, but we don’t?

"........"

The representative of the Sarutobi clan finally understood that everything that happened before was nothing as Yan's killer move was waiting for them.

Just one sentence caused several families to turn away from the Sarutobi clan.

Completely break away from the Sarutobi clan's chariot.

It's time for the Sarutobi clan to enjoy the taste of not having one.

This was a punishment for the Third Hokage who had opposed him in every way before.

Of course, Yan will not kill the Sarutobi clan with one blow. When the Sarutobi clan can no longer bear it, they can choose to move out of the old city. It is that simple.

After all, they are a big family in the village, there is no need to kill them all with one blow.

This shouldn't be done, because it would harm the interests of the entire Konoha.

"Hokage-sama, with this kind of oppression, the Sarutobi clan..."

Shikaku was somewhat worried that there would be a backlash.
