Chapter 286: The Third Hokage: Money smells so good!

Only Jingyi helped contact Uchiha and Hyuga for Tsunade's sake, otherwise, you would be so anxious that no one would take out the money.

Jingyi looked at the Third Hokage deeply, which made the Third Hokage confused.

Why are you looking at me like that?

"The demands of the Uchiha and Hyuga are very simple. That is, please stop targeting them and stop those intentions of unequal treatment. Hokage, please restrain yourself. No matter what, the Hyuga and Uchiha are members of the village. Don't go too far in some things."

"Cough cough cough!!!"

The Third Hokage coughed and retorted with a red face:

"There is absolutely no such thing. I guarantee it has never happened before and will never happen in the future."

"That's good."

Since the Third Hokage made such a lame promise, Shizue stood up decisively and prepared to leave.

"I will ask Hinata and Uchiha to send the money as soon as possible. Remember, this money is borrowed. I hope Hokage can remember his promise and not take the money and continue to target others. Whether it is Uchiha Madara or Uchiha Kagami, such a person can just pop up casually?"

"I promise that this will never happen again."

The words have been said so bluntly. If I continue to target him, it will appear that I am not trustworthy and it will also be a slap in the face of Jingyi, the middleman.

However, the Third Hokage's promise was only to not take the initiative to target them. If the Hinata and Uchiha cause trouble, it can't be blamed on him.

Of course, the Third Hokage would not take the initiative to give benefits to Uchiha and Hyuga.

This is not targeting you. These are the conditions for borrowing money for turnover. Anything else is out of the question.

But this is what the Uchiha and Hinata wanted.

As for offering benefits proactively?

It's almost time for the sun to rise from the west.

Rather than expecting the Third Hokage to give them benefits on his own initiative, Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi would rather believe that the next Hokage will treat them sincerely.

"Whoo~~~~"

The financial troubles were finally solved.

The Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief, leaning back in his chair, and began to think back to his conversation with Jingyi just now. It was true that he had not said anything irrelevant, nor had he made any other promises. Only then did he completely relax.

Targeting Uchiha and Hyuga?

Now no one in the village is targeting them, and the Third Hokage is too lazy to do these things.

Because he had enough troubles.

As for the main forces being targeted, Danzo Shimura and Koharu Utsumi?

Under the pressure of money, the Third Hokage believed that they would compromise.

Compared to the village's financial problems, the Uchiha incident was nothing.

During this period, the Uchiha clan had not yet been targeted by high pressure, so the voices of resistance within the clan were not so obvious. The emotions of both the doves and hawks were very stable, and no one was calling for an attack on the village. Under such circumstances, the Third Hokage naturally would not take the Uchiha clan's affairs to heart.

Targeting the Uchiha is just a strategy, not above all else.

So when it came to money, the Third Hokage decisively chose to bow his head.

Not actively targeting Uchiha?

OK!

no problem.

Give Uchiha normal treatment?

OK!

Still no problem!!!

These problems that can be solved with money are not problems at all!!!

As for the Hyuga clan, there is even less to say.

Others don't fight or compete, they just want to do things behind closed doors, so why are you staring at them?

Does the Hyuga clan love money?

No! ! !

Therefore, the Third Hokage agreed decisively to the conditions brought by Shizuka.

Any hesitation for even a second is disrespectful to money.

With this money, the village can pay out pensions and sustain the war and internal consumption of the village, at least until the money from Daming Prefecture is sent.

At most, Daming Prefecture will delay for a while. It won't delay for a whole year and only pay the money at the end of the year, right?

The Third Hokage's idea was simple, but unfortunately, the Daimyo had exactly the same idea.

It’s not that I won’t give you the money, but when I give it to you depends on my mood.

If you are not careful, it will be delayed to the end of the year and you will have to give it to you slowly. Anyway, you will not lose a penny that you deserve.

As for whether you in Konoha have any objections, just keep it to yourself.

You guys have made me lose face so much, so what's wrong with me delaying?

It’s not like I’m not paying.

If it was something else, the daimyo would at most lose some face and throw it back to the daimyo of the Wind Country, but he had already slept with the woman sent by others!!!

Can this be sent back?

Finances were more important than Uchiha matters.

There is another key factor, that is, as the main force against Uchiha, Shimura Danzo has no power and influence, and he can't jump up and continue to strangle Uchiha even if he wants to.

Plus Shizuichi and Tsunade are stuck in high-level circles.

They don't look at the Uchiha with any tinted glasses. As long as the Third Hokage and others don't go too far in targeting the Uchiha, Shizuichi and Tsunade will just turn a blind eye.

If any measures are too extreme, they will definitely stop them.

Since we can't target them too harshly, and the financial problem can be solved, why not let Uchiha go for now?

What other Uchiha wanted was nothing.

Something that can be done in just a few words.

As for the borrowed money, the Third Hokage was confident that it would definitely be repaid.

However, not long after Jingyi left, a plan for family development was delivered to the Hokage's office, and the Third Hokage's mentality exploded.

Not long ago, he solemnly assured that there would be no problem with the village's finances.

How long has it been since?

In less than two hours, someone came to ask for money.

The Sarutobi clan had a weak foundation and developed too quickly, making them a typical nouveau riche family. The family did develop, but its business could not keep up with the pace of development, causing the Sarutobi clan to be unable to develop itself after they lost financial support from the village.

The only solution is to keep asking for money.

Otherwise, the entire Sarutobi clan would tighten their belts and start living a hard life, strangling all development plans.

The family's meaning is very clear. The New Year has passed. Mr. Hokage, the family needs a lot of funds for development. Money is needed everywhere. Do you think so?.........

If it were in the past, the Third Hokage would definitely find ways to collect the money, embezzle some funds, and then give priority to the development of the family.

But can we still do this now?

No.

Because the remaining money in the Ministry of Finance has been locked up.

Once it is given to the Sarutobi clan, the Ministry of Finance will be in an awkward situation again.

As a last resort, the Third Hokage had to put the plan on hold. From today on, the family's development plan would need to be shelved, various subsidies would no longer be provided, and the family's ninjas would have to start being self-sufficient.

Because the village finances do not allow it.

"I hope it won't cause too much trouble."

When he thought of his family, the Third Hokage's spirit, which had finally relaxed, began to tense up again.
