Chapter 40: Fugaku's Resignation

"It's Fugaku."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said:

"What do you want from me?"

"I'm so sorry, Sandaime-sama."

Fugaku looked annoyed:

"I didn't know that big brother would actually fight his way out. All of this was caused by us Uchiha. I hope the village can hand over those damaged rooms to us Uchiha. We will bear all the losses."

"It is a blessing for all of Konoha that Patriarch Fugaku has this awareness."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said:

"However, your eldest brother only sparred with Elder Danzo and did not defect from our village. He will always be a part of our Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen would never admit that Lu Lin had completely cut off ties with the village.

Now the village lacks ninjas that are strong enough to intimidate other villages that are eyeing it covetously, so Lu Lin outside will also make other villages hesitate before taking action.

After all, they didn't know what Lu Lin's attitude towards the village was.

Fugaku naturally understood this and nodded in agreement:

"Sir, I take the blame for this matter and resign from my position as Minister of the Guard Department."

"The head of the Fugaku clan doesn't have to."

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly rejected Fugaku's request. He now served as the head of the guard department and had some connection with the village.

If I didn't have this position...

"Patriarch Fugaku, you can raise any difficulties the Guard Department has, and we can hold a meeting to solve them for you."

"Is it really possible?"

Fugaku's eyes lit up:

"The work of the security department is a bit tedious now. I hope the village can send more colleagues to help."

"Is this a request..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought silently. The entire guard department was controlled by the Uchiha clan. It would be good if he could insert some of his own people into it.

So he nodded:

"I will put forward your request at tomorrow's meeting. At that time, you can also tell others about your difficulties."

"Thank you very much, Third Generation Master."

Fugaku said gratefully, then took his leave.

After leaving the Konoha building and entering the Uchiha clan, Fugaku finally took off the smile on his face.

The reason why he brought up the difficulties of the Guard Department just now was because Lu Lin asked him to do so before he left. He said that the reason why Uchiha had such a bad reputation in the village was because of the Guard Department.

Although the job of the security department is to maintain the security of the village, it is extremely easy to offend people.

Moreover, anyone who can open a shop in the village must have some connection with those big families. When they are offended, they will naturally use their connections to speak ill of them.

Little by little, the Uchiha's reputation became extremely bad and their popularity became extremely poor.

Therefore, before leaving, Lu Lin asked Fugaku to ask the village for more people. All those who came would patrol the village every day. As for the people from the Uchiha clan, they would just drink tea and read newspapers in the office every day.

Even though Fugaku didn't understand much, he could only listen to what his elder brother said.

Moreover, he also wanted to change the reputation of the Uchiha clan in the village.

In a dark underground cave, which is filled with special instruments, at the end of the tubes of various instruments is an old man.

"Master Madara, there are still talented people among your people."

"Ah Fei, what happened again?"

The old man slowly opened his eyes and asked while gasping for breath, as if he had exerted great effort.

And in front of him stood a very strange humanoid creature.

Afterwards, this humanoid creature told the old man everything about Lu Lin.

The old man's old eyes flashed:

"I didn't expect that there are still some talented people among the younger generation who can be used.

By the way, you just said that this Lu Lin summoned Susanoo?"

"Yes."

The humanoid creature named A Fei patted his chest:

"A Susanoo that is not as big as Madara-sama's, but it seems to be a complete Susanoo."

"Really."

Somewhat unexpectedly:

"Are you sure this is her first summon?"

"If he hasn't summoned before in Uchiha territory, this should be the first time."

A Fei nodded. After all, since Madara had grown old, no Uchiha in the entire ninja world had ever seen anyone summon Susanoo.

"He is such a good junior. What a pity."

It was a pity that I didn't notice Lu Lin earlier. Now he can even summon a complete Susanoo. On Madara's side, no one can defeat him except himself.

"Then be more careful and don't let him ruin our plan. Otherwise, even the Uchiha clan can't let him go."

"Yes."

Ah Fei nodded in agreement, but he was still making strange movements with his hands.

"What happened to your hand?"

"Just now I was fingering my butt to see if I could get shit out. Master, what does it feel like to poop?"

Madara didn't know how to answer Ah Fei's question. After a long silence, the word "get out" popped out of his mouth.

Watching Ah Fei sink into the ground, Madara sighed and closed his eyes again:

"Hashirama, the choice you made back then must have been wrong."

Other major ninja villages also received the news sent back by the spies.

Leiyin Village

"Humph, Konoha has lost two major fighting forces at once. This is a good opportunity."

A muscular man sneered. Toppling Konoha was what he and the people in the village wanted most.

"Go check for me the current situation of the Sannin. I want the most detailed information."

Now in Konoha, the most powerful ones are only the three disciples of the Third Hokage. As for the Third Hokage himself?

His strength is indeed good, but he is old, so old that he is afraid of war. Otherwise, during World War II, when the Kages of other villages were active on the battlefield, why was only the Kage of Konoha staying in the rear?

Don’t say that Konoha has enough combat power. If it did, Konoha’s losses wouldn’t have been so heavy.

Sand Hidden Village.

The Third Kazekage has been feeling a chill in his back lately. He always feels that someone has some bad intentions towards him.

This is the sixth sense of a Kage-level warrior, and he takes it very seriously.

"There are still too few high-end combat forces in the village."

After processing today's documents, he rubbed his brows, and then thought of Elder Qiandai's grandson:

"Scorpion's talent can indeed support the future of the village. We need to focus on training him. Why don't we ask Elder Chiyo for him after a while? I will bring him to my side and teach him myself."

As the poorest and weakest village among the five major villages, the Third Kazekage's greatest wish is to see the village become stronger.

. . . . . .

In the sky, a large piece of iron sand was inexplicably suspended, with several human figures standing on it.

"Boss Lu Lin, haven't we reached the place we are going to yet?"
