Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 188: Verdict, execution.

Kill Utane Koharu?
Perhaps some people have thought about it, but they would never dare to propose it directly. It is too bold and too dangerous.

The whole audience was silent, and everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.

Is this what the Hokage meant, or is Uchiha Inahime asking for a reminder based on his job?
Everyone is thinking about it, but in fact everyone has the answer in their heart.

How could the Fifth Hokage possibly protect Utane Koharu like the Third Hokage did? Whether before or after he became Hokage, there should have been only hatred between him and Utane Koharu and no affection between them.

But the Fifth Generation placed an outsider like Tenshin in such an important position in the Finance Department. I'm afraid that what happened today was planned by the Fifth Generation for a long time!

No one said anything, only Utane Koharu reacted after a moment of stunned silence. At this moment, her hands and feet were cold and her breathing was rapid.

"Uchiha Inahime, you are clearly seeking revenge. I have only made a few minor mistakes, how could it be so serious?
Fifth Generation, I am willing to return the borrowed property and resign from the position of advisor. For the sake of the Third Generation and for my many years of hard work for Konoha, please allow me to return to the clan to retire!"

Utane Koharu also guessed that Inahori's behavior might have been instructed by Shisui, but she could not admit it directly. Now the only way for her to survive is to arouse Shisui's sympathy.

She was trembling and looked like she was about to die. She gasped when she spoke and looked very pitiful.

Shisui said nothing, seemingly hesitant.

Seeing this, Utane Koharu quickly added, "I am old and will not live for many days. Besides, I have worked with Hiruzen for many years. If I die in prison, it will inevitably hurt his heart. Even if you don't care about me, please let me return to the clan for the sake of the Sandaime's health. I am willing to imprison myself in the clan and never leave."

After saying that, the arrogant Koharu Utatane finally lowered her head and half-knelt in front of Shisui.

However, everyone's expressions were extremely complicated, especially Sarutobi Hiki. His face turned green and he actually wanted to spit on Utane Koharu's face.

"Bah, how shameless! What do you mean by 'for the sake of the Sandaime's body'? Are you threatening me or just trying to please me?"

Shisui's expression was moved, as if he was convinced.

"Bed-changing consultant, hey, why do you have to do this?"

Just as Shisui was about to help him up, Kishi Fumio suddenly spoke up, "Hokage-sama, the Utatane clan is very powerful, and Utatane Koharu, as the clan leader, is in a high position of power. Even if he returns to his clan and imprisons himself, he can still enjoy his old age in peace.

But Konoha has experienced wars many times over the years, and many ninjas have died in hospitals due to lack of medicines. Many children have lost their parents and are alone at the gate of the ninja school, looking at other children with envy.

All this was thanks to her, Koharu Tsuneyasu. Now, she has made such a big mistake, but she wants to cover it up with a casual remark about returning home to retire. Then, in the future, can all ninjas who make mistakes go home to retire?
By doing this, are we living up to the Will of Fire that the Sandaime spoke of, and to the Firstaime's ideal of protecting children from harm?

Is it worthy of the justice that the police department insists on?"

hiss~
When Kishi Fumio finished speaking, everyone was shocked. It seemed that he was determined to kill Utane Koharu!
But they soon realized that what Kishi Fumio said was right, the Utane clan had become increasingly powerful, and even if Utane Koharu was no longer an advisor, how many ninjas present would not be afraid of the Utane clan? They had offended them anyway, so why not kill them all?

"Please, Hokage-sama, execute Utane Koharu!"

Kishi Fumio's voice sounded again, and everyone followed suit and said, "Hokage, please execute Utane Koharu!"

Hinata Hiashi and Sarutobi Hiki also spoke.

Although Hiki Sarutobi did not want Utahain Koharu to die, everyone had expressed their opinions, and if he kept silent it would inevitably attract attention. It would be uncomfortable if he made the Fifth Hokage unhappy.

As for Utane Koharu, her mind was blank. When she saw Kishi Fumio speak, she knew there was trouble. But after Kishi Fumio spoke, she had no other thoughts.

When everyone echoed her voice, she knew that her fate was sealed.

Shisui glanced at everyone, then looked at the dazed Utane Koharu, and finally set his sights on Nara Suzaku.

"What do you think, Senior Suzaku?"

Nara Suzaku's heart moved, he was silent for a moment and then looked at Utane Koharu, who immediately showed hope in her eyes.

"Tetsunobu Koharu."

As soon as the full name came out, Tennekoharu's heart skipped a beat and she no longer had any expectations.

As expected, Nara Suzaku said in a firm tone: "The cholera in Konoha is a crime that cannot be forgiven. If we don't kill him, it will not be enough to appease the public anger, it will not be enough to comfort the dead ninjas, and if we don't kill him, we will not be able to face the 300,000 villagers of Konoha!"

"Please, Hokage-sama, kill Utane Koharu immediately!"

At this point, everyone in the conference room, except Shisui and Utane Koharu, had reached a consensus.

Seeing this, Shisui slowly stood up, no longer hesitating.

"Does the sleeping consultant have any other arguments?"

Utane Koharu's brain was working rapidly, and she said hurriedly, "There is no law in Konoha that says corruption must be punished by death, and there is no such precedent."

Konoha has only been established for fifty-one years, and many things are not perfect, naturally including the laws.

"Hokage, although the law does not say how to deal with corruption, Utane Koharu's behavior has seriously harmed Konoha. I don't know how many ninjas died because of her. This behavior can be regarded as treason and she should be killed according to the law."

Inahori was familiar with the contents of the law, and there was no way Utane Koharu could argue with him. He struggled for just one sentence and then had nothing more to say.

Everyone sighed, worthy of being Uchiha!
"It seems that the sleeping consultant has nothing to say."

Shisui glanced at everyone, his expression turning serious.

"I've said before, no matter who it is, I won't let him go if he dares to do anything that harms Konoha's future.

Now that the evidence is conclusive, the ninjas from various groups are in agreement.

Then, I declare that Utane Koharu is a corrupt person and is to be taken into custody by the Police Department, stripped of his advisory position, stripped of his title of Jonin, and executed in three days. As for the embezzled property, the Police Department and the Anbu will go to the Utane clan's territory to confiscate assets to make up for Konoha's losses over the years.

However, considering that Koharu Tenne has served Konoha for many years, the execution will be carried out in prison and must not be known to the villagers to save face."

"Hokage-sama, be merciful!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and praised him in unison.

Only a few people realized that the reason why Shisui killed Utane Koharu was simply corruption, not any other crime, which made them feel a little uneasy.

"Shisui, it's you! You deliberately designed to harm me, evil Uchiha, you shall not die a hapless death!"

Seeing that the outcome was already decided, Utane Koharu could no longer suppress her anger. She pointed at Shisui with a crazy expression. If all the things were recovered, then her death would have been in vain, which she could not accept.

So she struggled desperately, and angrily said, "Wolf cub, ungrateful thing, Hiruzen trusted you so much in the beginning, and you treated me like this, what have I done wrong, what about disturbing Konoha, I just borrowed money, other things have nothing to do with me, you are clearly accusing me!"

"presumptuous!"

Izayoi who was standing by had been waiting for a long time. Upon hearing this, his three magatama instantly turned into a kaleidoscope and he was about to take action to subdue him.

However, Shisui raised his hand to stop him, and said, "What Utane Koharu suggested is not unreasonable. Let the police department revise this part of the law within three days, and continue to enforce it after three days."

"Yes!"

Daohuo agreed immediately. With Yan Shifan around, they didn't have to worry about the law at all.

But the faces of the others changed. The revision of the law would definitely affect them. Should they speak up and refute?
Everyone looked at Izayoi who was beside Shisui. The terrifying pupil power and the sense of oppression made them choose to accept.

Utatane Koharu's face turned green. If there is no law, then add one. It's simply lawless! The second generation is right. Uchiha is a born evil creature. Danzo's idea is also right. If they had supported Danzo to destroy Uchiha, they would not have ended up like this.

"you!"

She pointed at Shisui, so angry that she had nothing to say. Seeing this, Inahori waved her hand lightly, and the people from the police department immediately came to her side.

Utane Koharu slapped their hands away, stared at Shisui, and then looked at everyone.

Mizuto Menyan was heartbroken. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said nothing. He was so sad that he simply closed his eyes and stopped looking at her.

Izayoi's eyelids drooped slightly, ready to take action at any time.

The air in the room seemed to be stagnant, and they were curious, was Utane Koharu going to resist?

Of course not. In this situation, even Danzo, who is stronger than her, can only accept his fate.

Hundreds of jonin surrounded the Hokage building. If Utane Koharu made any unusual movement, she would be torn into pieces in an instant.

'Save some dignity.'

Utane Koharu just glanced at everyone with hatred, and then walked out of the Hokage's office step by step in a loose manner. The moment she walked out of the office, she was hunched over, as if all her energy had been drained.

Everyone had different expressions and was filled with emotion.

Now they had solved the problem of Utane Koharu as they wished, but they were not very happy. Instead, they felt more and more uneasy. They looked at Shisui and fell into silence.

"Hokage-sama, when we were investigating the corruption of Utane Koharu, we also found a lot of problematic ninjas."

Inahori took out another pile of evidence, and then someone took it and placed it in front of Shisui.

Shisui didn't look through it, but instead looked at everyone.

Facing Shisui's gaze, many people lowered their heads, but Hyuga Hiashi remained calm, because he was not a high-ranking official in Konoha, and even if he had ideas, he would have no chance.

"What do you think? Or should we solve them one by one according to the example just now?"

"This"

Everyone was speechless and unsure, even though they themselves had never had such an idea and had never done such a thing.

But their family doesn't know how many ninjas work in various departments. Can they guarantee that everyone in the family is clean?
"Hokage-sama, this trend must not be allowed to continue and must be severely punished."

Daohuo suggested without hesitation, completely ignoring the expressions of the people around him.

"This"

But Inahori was in the right, and they had no way of refutation. They could only look at Shisui, hoping that he could shut up this evil Uchiha.

Shisui patted the thick pile of evidence on the table. He wondered how many people would be implicated by such a thick pile of evidence.

Shisui pondered for a moment, then asked, "When were these made?"

"The situation during the last three years of the Sandaime era."

"What do you think? Do you want to see it?"

Hinata Hiashi was curious and subconsciously wanted to roll his eyes at him, but he saw Shisui looking at him strangely. Hinata Hiashi smiled awkwardly and lowered his head quickly.

"Let the Hokage-sama decide. We won't watch it."

Everyone was sad and suggested in a low voice.

"According to the laws of the Third Generation period, how should corruption be dealt with?"

Inahiri immediately replied, "During the Third Generation period, there were no regulations regarding corruption in Konoha's laws."

The Konoha Law was drafted by the second generation and has hardly changed. Although the Senju lineage is long, it is ultimately just a family and has no experience in governing hundreds of thousands of people. The laws are mostly focused on restraining ninjas and protecting civilian lives, and do not contain overly detailed content.

Having said that, everyone did not relax, because Daohuo had just brought up other clauses and could still deal with them.

But surprisingly, Inahiri didn't continue talking, and Shisui nodded.

"If that's the case, then it's Konoha's problem. But there can't be no punishment for a mistake. What do you think, Suzaku Jonin?"

Nara Suzaku's heart moved. He didn't expect the reward to come so quickly, so he immediately cooperated and said: "What the Hokage said is right. Why don't we let those people return the embezzled money to Konoha twice within three days? After three days, the law will be repaired, and those who are stubborn will be dealt with according to the law."

Shisui smiled and said with satisfaction: "What do you think?"

"Hokage-sama is wise!"

This praise came from the heart and was extremely sincere. They looked at Nara Suzaku with gratitude.

"Then let Suzaku Jonin be in charge. Recover the stolen money within three days. Those who fail to do so will be dealt with according to the new law." Shisui said, pushing the document directly to the corner of the table, close to Nara Suzaku's position.

Nara Suzaku took the document and immediately responded, "Yes!"

"Everyone, from this it seems that Konoha's laws are not perfect. For the sake of the village and the villagers, I want the police department to revise them to ensure the interests of every villager. You can raise any opinions you have."

Shisui sat down again, then spoke in a gentle tone.

Everyone looked at the pile of documents in Nara Suzaku's hand and naturally did not dare to have any opinions, so they had to agree.

"Since everyone has no objection, let's do it this way."

The meeting ended and everyone left the Hokage Building with trepidation.

Shisui was very satisfied with today's gains. The situation of Utane Koharu, who had been enduring for many days, was finally resolved. It was the decision of the majority of the senior management, and he just made the final judgment.

"Sure enough, the teacher is right. If you want to do something, it's best to use another thing as an introduction."

"Hokage-sama, what about this evidence?"

After everyone had dispersed and Shisui was feeling emotional, Nara Suzaku came over with a stack of documents.

Shisui smiled gently and said softly, "Since it has been handed over to Suzaku-senpai, you can handle it yourself."

"Yes!"

This trust made Nara Suzaku completely relieved, and he slowly left with the documents in his arms.

Izayoi frowned and asked, "Did Lord Hokage call me back for a mission?"

"Your mission is to stay in Konoha for the time being to prevent anyone from having bad intentions."

"Yes, I understand."
