Chapter 55 Some Are Happy And Some Are Sad

The relaxed and happy atmosphere here is different from Lin Yan's.

There are people in the village who are in a very sad mood now.

Hokage Building, inside the office, Uchiha Fugaku's request for an interview was granted by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

At this moment, he is personally reporting to Sarutobi Hiruzen, explaining the details of the recent conflicts between the Uchiha clan and the villagers.

Of course, in addition to Fugaku, there were also Itachi, Shisui, Kakashi and others present.

In addition, Konoha Village's two major consultants, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, as well as Hokage assistant Shimura Danzō were also present.

Everyone's expression is different, but the seriousness between the eyebrows cannot be faked.

"Master Third Hokage, the whole story is probably like this."

"I definitely did not exaggerate or conceal anything."

Uchiha Fugaku analyzed the cause, process and impact of the entire conflict.

His appeal is also very simple, that is, he hopes that the village's senior officials can intervene to mediate.

"The work of the security force has certain particularities. In addition to maintaining security in the village, they must also prevent spies from outside the village from invading."

"This is a rule that was already established when Master Second Hokage established the security force."

"I think it is understandable for the Uchiha Guards to do this."

Utatane Koharu was the first to speak out.

Although it seems that she is speaking for the Uchiha clan, everything should not be taken at face value.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was still smoking and silent.

Mitokado Homura also had his eyes half-open and half-closed, with an expression of emotion and anger on his face.

Only Shimura Danzō had a very serious expression at the moment, and even his half-open and half-closed eyes showed a cold light.

"The village will come forward to handle this matter, Fugaku."

"Please express my gratitude to all members of the Uchiha clan on my behalf for your contribution to the development and peace and stability of Konoha."

"The village will never forget your contribution."

After pondering for a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally spoke.

It is also wise to set the tone on this issue before Shimura Danzō talks nonsense.

He knew very well that with Danzo's character, if he remained silent, the other party would definitely blame the Uchiha clan.

You know, it was not that simple when Second Hokage Senju Tobirama appointed the Uchiha clan to take on the important responsibility of Konoha's security force...

What Uchiha Fugaku is most worried about is that the village leaders do not recognize his demands.

Now that he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen speak, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Itachi and Shisui, who were listening behind them, also felt relieved.

However, there is a saying that goes well.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be an accident.

Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, and before Uchiha Fugaku could say his thanks, Shimura Danzō suddenly spoke.

"The duty of the security force itself is to protect the tranquility of Konoha Village and prevent the threat of invasion by external spies."

"But now, you are fighting against the villagers because of a small conflict."

"Although we can mediate on your behalf, there is no way that the Uchiha clan can escape the necessary responsibilities just because of this!"

Shimura Danzō's words made everyone present feel their hearts sink.

Especially Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Shisui.

They all know that this Lord Danzo is a hawk in the village and is always known for being tough, decisive and ruthless in doing things.

Just because of Danzo's words at this moment, the atmosphere that had already relaxed suddenly became very tense again.

However, due to the special nature of the work of the security forces.

They are living a tight life now.

But everyone there knew what she was trying to say.

Although the Uchiha clan is nominally the largest clan in Konoha Village.

Therefore, it is really difficult to come up with such a large amount of money to compensate the villagers.

The vast majority of clan members cannot accept entrusted tasks and receive high rewards like ordinary ninjas.

In other words, they have not been able to enjoy the dividends of Konoha's economic development over the past few decades.

Seeing that he remained silent, Mitokado Homura also spoke at this time: "Well, I have a compromise."

But at this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't speak, he just frowned and smoked.

And the security force is different from ordinary ninjas.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen a little confused.

This has led to the fact that for decades, most members of the Uchiha clan have been receiving a basic salary.

By asking the Uchiha clan to publicly apologize to all the people of Konoha Village, isn't this equivalent to asking them to admit that the Uchiha clan made a mistake?

But over the years, their development has actually gradually declined, and the family's industry has been repeatedly cut back.

Coupled with several consecutive ninja wars and various disputes, large and small, the Uchiha family invested a lot of money and manpower.

"Even if we intervene to mediate, whether this issue can be properly resolved ultimately depends on your attitude."

I was humble, lowered my stature, and let go of all the arrogance of the Uchiha clan. When I came to the dialogue, I just wanted a relatively fair result.

Uchiha Fugaku is in a difficult situation.

When he came to talk to the senior management this time, he never thought about compensation.

Utatane Koharu didn't make his words too clear.

"More than 20 of them were seriously injured and are now receiving treatment in the hospital."

But now, this is not the solution I want.

"Danzo is right, Fugaku, your security forces did attack more than a hundred villagers."

Other ninjas can normally accept some high-value commissioned tasks.

"What the security forces did did really hurt the feelings of the villagers."

The income cannot increase, and the landlords have no surplus food now.

"You, the security force, please publicly thank everyone in Konoha Village."

This is also an unacceptable condition.

"I think this might be able to gain the villagers' forgiveness."

"At the same time, you must fully bear the treatment costs of the injured villagers, and appropriately provide them with compensation for lost work, mental loss, etc. to a certain extent."

Moreover, they had to bear the treatment costs of the more than 100 injured villagers, and also had to pay a large amount of compensation to each one.

Not only did they sacrifice many tribesmen, but they also paid a high price in other aspects.

But Utatane Koharu spoke again.

Mitokado Homura explained his words directly, which made Uchiha Fugaku's face look even more ugly.

"The impact on you Uchiha clan is also the lowest."
