Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 54 Meeting Dispute (Part )

Fugaku looked calm and didn't say anything. He just glanced at Tetsuka, who immediately understood and also tried to keep him. Shisui, who was sitting nearby, felt quite strange.

Is this a step backward to advance?
Seeing that everyone still supported the Third Generation, Danzo's face turned dark and although he was unwilling, he had to shut up.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Yuuki put down the documents, picked up the hat with a smile on his face, walked down the stage and returned it to the Third Generation.

The third generation stood up and took it. He looked back at everyone with a heavy expression.

"A dead leaf like me should burn for Konoha until the situation stabilizes and the fifth generation is chosen from among you. At that time, I will entrust the heavy responsibility in my hands to you."

His voice was low, and there was a hint of fatigue and expectation in his eyes.

Everyone was moved. Who didn't have a dream of becoming a Hokage when they were a child? Now, maybe they also have a chance?

Bang bang bang~
There was applause, and Danzo snorted coldly and simply closed his eyes.

Shisui felt very bored, he thought the Sandai would at least refuse twice, but he didn't expect him to accept it directly.

The meeting continued, and the next issue that the ninjas and high-level officials were most concerned about was the division of financial and task shares.

The funding for Daimyo has arrived. Although it has been reduced compared to last year, it is still a huge sum of money.

"The next item is the ninth item, which is the estimated fiscal allocation for Konoha for the next 50 years, with compensation for the ninja sacrificed in this war at the top of the list."

Fiscal issues also included tax adjustments. After the war, taxes on ordinary goods began to decrease, while prices of ninja-related items began to increase.

Among the ninjas, some were happy and some were worried. Of course, most of them were still worried.

Next comes the allocation, with pensions being the first, and everyone agreeing with that. Next comes the war mission allocation, and the retention mission allocation, which are both necessary and will keep the mission program running for the next year.

It involves all aspects and is directly controlled by the Hokage.

Then there are the Anbu, Medical Department, Education Department, Security Department, Barrier Department, and Interrogation Department.
Of course, the order only represents the degree of importance, not the amount of funding.

Among all kinds of grants, task grants account for the largest proportion, more than 30%.

Next is the Anbu with 250 million taels, the Medical Department with 220 million taels, the Education Department with 200 million taels, the Pension Department with 150 million taels, the Barrier Department with 130 million taels, the Security Department with 80 million taels, and the Interrogation Department with at least 50 million taels.
A total of 1.6 billion daimyo grants were allocated to various ministries, and the taxes of Konoha Village were temporarily left in the hands of the Hokage for emergency use.

Next is the task share. The Anbu retained most of the high-level tasks, and no one had any objections, after all, high rewards come with high risks.

Low-level tasks continue to be delegated, and except for the Guard Department, the other departments can basically only wait for the selection by the Anbu, or simply snatch them in the mission hall.

After listening to this, some ninjas frowned, some nodded with satisfaction, and some had a blank expression.

Their tentacles extend to every department beyond the Ministry of Security, and the financial tilt will affect their interests in the coming year.

Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief. The money was not much, because the Guard Department basically had no share of missions, which was the big part, but this allocation had greatly recovered compared to last year. It was a matter of attitude.

"That's all for the fiscal agenda. If you have any objections, you may speak up now."

Yuki Sarutobi had an indifferent expression, which was very different from the expression she had when she presented the bamboo hat to the Third Generation, but no one cared about her at this moment.

The audience gradually became restless. Finances were related to their vital interests, and no one would let this issue go.

"Isn't it too little to provide only 150 million taels of compensation? Can this amount of money make up for the shortfall?"

The one who stood up was just a civilian jonin. He didn't care about these departments. He just wanted to get compensation for the people behind him.

At the current price, a Genin's pension would be around 700,000 taels if collected all at once, but if collected in installments, 3,500 taels a month for twenty years.

Shisui thought of Hideki's situation. His father and brother all died in the battle. One was a Chunin and the other was a Genin. Theoretically, he should have received 2 million ryo, but he only received 400,000 ryo. Shisui turned his head and memorized the man's face.

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Sarutobi calmly opened the document on the third agenda item and replied, "Konoha is currently facing financial difficulties, and the pension system has to be temporarily changed. In the next few years, you will no longer be able to choose to receive the pension in one lump sum.

Only in this way can we pay out the monthly pension on time and temporarily save some funds to continue rebuilding the damaged areas in the past, so the 150 million taels of funding is sufficient for now. "

After he finished speaking, Fugaku couldn't help but frown, feeling something was wrong.

Konoha was not invaded into the village. The destroyed areas in the past were naturally the losses caused by the Nine-Tailed Fox. Since the war has continued to this day, the top leaders have been unable to rebuild it.

Although Shisui's expression was calm, his eyes moved from the civilian jonin to Sarutobi Yuuki.

Even if the three Uchiha didn't look back, they could clearly feel that after Sarutobi Yuki replied, a lot of eyes were looking at them.

"If that's the case, then I have no problem."

The man was silent for a moment, responded to the signal from the person next to him, and sat down.

The atmosphere in the room gradually became a little depressing, and the third generation kept smoking with a frown on his brow.

"There have been many accidents in the Ninja Hospital recently. Many ninjas who returned from the difficult front lines have lost their lives due to the incompetence and lack of care of some medical ninjas.

Although these medical ninjas were not affiliated with the Medical Department, their incompetence still caused great losses to the Medical Department and Konoha's partners.

In just a few days, we have seen so many relatives in tears. Can this continue?"

A person stood up behind Utane Koharu, it was Utane Kae. Her voice was excited and seemed to be filled with anger.

Everyone was wondering, the Medical Department received the second largest amount of funding among the six departments, only after the Anbu, so what else was she not satisfied with?
"We need to train more medical ninjas instead of letting the gaps be filled by incompetent people who don't have the Will of Fire in their hearts."

Yuki Sarutobi was speechless. There were many things going on in the village that she didn't know. She knew exactly what was going on. Seeing this, she immediately glanced at the Third Generation.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, he responded: "Konoha is in financial difficulties this year, and there are still many things to do. The allocation for the medical department has already reached its limit."

Unexpectedly, Uta-ne Kae looked annoyed and shouted, "No, it is precisely because of the financial difficulties this year that we should spend money on important things instead of letting things like this continue to happen.

What do you think, Lord Fugaku?

"presumptuous!"

Upon hearing this, Tiehuo became furious and stood up on the spot, staring at the other party with three magatama. Shisui also stood up, but his aura remained unchanged.

After all, Fugaku is the Minister of the Guard Department. The other party's behavior is a complete rebellion, which is absolutely not allowed for a ninja.

Everyone's face changed, thinking something was wrong. Just as they were about to stand up, they saw Utane Koharu speak sternly, "Shut up! Who allowed you to question Minister Fugaku like this?"

Upon hearing this, Uta-ne Kae's face suddenly changed. She clenched her fists, her body trembled slightly, and she bowed her head in reluctance and said, "I'm sorry, Master Fugaku, I lost my composure."

Fugaku turned his head to look at Utane Koharu. His face looked normal and his voice was calm. He nodded and said, "Yes."

Then he looked at Tiehuo and said, "Sit down."

Shisui sighed. While he was dissatisfied with the sleeping arrangement, he also had to admire Fugaku's composure.

"However, although Xianghui Jonin was a little impulsive, her words did make sense."

I originally wanted to update later because something happened, but someone in the comment section said that I was a eunuch, which scared me so much that I quickly updated. There will be another picture later, and an explanation of what happened in the chapter.
