Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 55 Meeting Dispute (Part )

Fugaku's expression was slightly shaken, but he heard Utane Koharu continue: "So many ninjas lost their lives because of the incompetence and carelessness of these people. Do these medical ninjas really regard them as partners of Konoha?
Do these people still have the will of fire in their hearts? "

Utane Koharu's voice became louder and louder, with a hint of questioning in it.

Tiehuo was indignant and said immediately: "Elder Xiaochun's words are too far-fetched. Those people were already seriously ill. How can their sacrifice be attributed to the medical ninjas?
And since they knew that these people were seriously ill, why didn't they use the ninjas from the medical department but instead handed them over to the kind people who came to support them? Are they deliberately targeting them?"

Facing Tetsuka's question, Utane Koharu remained calm and continued, "The medical ninja from Uchiha acted rashly and had conflicts with seriously injured patients many times.

These people fought on the front lines for Konoha, and after finally returning to Konoha they didn't even get the care they deserved. Is this how Uchiha treats these heroes?

Is this what you mean by targeting? "

“How can we be blamed for the conflict?”

Tiehuo's face changed and gradually turned red.

Utane Koharu did not continue to argue with Tetsuka, but the other person she brought with her followed closely and sneered: "I don't blame you? Are you blaming those friends who were injured for Konoha? Is this an Uchiha who is so tolerant?"

Tiehuo was annoyed and asked back: "Who do you think you are? How dare you doubt the tolerance of us Uchiha? We have never seen you when we were fighting on the front line!"

"I am a medical ninja. How can I ignore the overall situation and go to the front line? Don't the Uchiha people know about Tsunade-sama's warning? No wonder they treat their seriously injured companions so harshly!"

"you!"

Tetsuhuo paused and was about to continue arguing when he was interrupted by Fugaku.

Fugaku glanced at the Sandaime before speaking, "Then I wonder what Elder Koharu means? If you are dissatisfied with our medical ninjas, why don't you inform us in advance? I can order them to be transferred from the Ninja Hospital today."

"I have no intention of targeting anyone, so why should Minister Fugaku be angry? Besides, the hospital is still short of staff. If we transfer them away at this time, we will be neglecting our fellow villagers.

The reason I say this is that I want to invest the village's limited funds in more important areas."

Mitomon Yan, who was sitting near her, asked at the right time: "What Elder Xiaochun said makes sense. The medical department is of great importance, but the village no longer has the spare capacity to continue supporting the medical department. If we want to increase support, we can only divert funds from other departments."

The crowd was not stupid. After hearing this, they knew what the consultants meant.

But they were surprisingly quiet and chose to remain silent. Neither the ninja nor the civilians had anything to do with the interests of the Guard Department.

"If I remember correctly, the Ministry of Security's allocation last year was only 40 million taels. Why did it double this year?"

The four detachments of the Guard Department have 52 people, all of whom are the elite of the clan. This amount of money is barely enough to pay their salaries, not to mention the daily maintenance of the Guard Department's large number of facilities and barriers.

Fugaku frowned slightly. Last year, because of the Nine-tail Rebellion, they were ostracized by the whole village, so the funding was reduced directly from 100 million taels to a mere 40 million taels.

With such a huge Sharingan hanging there, all their excuses were pale.

“Last year was a continuation of the war, and under special circumstances, each ministry cut funding to support the ninja army. This year, the Uchiha made a huge contribution to Konoha.

Now that the war is over, Konoha has a lot more things going on, and the security department has become busier, so it is reasonable to increase funding."

While Fugaku was thinking, the third generation suddenly started to explain.

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En were stunned, then looked at the silent Sandai with some confusion in their eyes.

"As for the medical dispute, I have already asked someone to appease the relatives. Matters of life and death are difficult to guarantee. Even if Tsunade comes back, she may not be able to save everyone. The Uchiha people may have a bad temper, but they will not do such a dereliction of duty.

But after the meeting, Fugaku still needs to mention it to the tribe members, and try to control it."

"Yes, Sandaime-sama," Fugaku responded quickly, feeling relieved.

No wonder the hospital incident has not spread throughout Konoha. It turns out that it was secretly suppressed by the Third Generation!

Utane Koharu's face darkened, and she was even more confused as to why the Third Hokage would defend the Uchiha?
"Can Konoha's safety be guaranteed by the Security Department?"

Danzo, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke. He snorted and said, "Hasn't Konoha been in chaos enough recently? Villagers are fighting, ninjas are fighting, and the exposed spy has not been caught until today.

And these seriously ill relatives, this is all due to the incompetence of the Security Department! Is this how the Security Department treats the funds we allocated?"

Mitomon En seized the opportunity to take over the topic, "The villagers are constantly talking about it, and Konoha is in chaos. The Guard Department should be reorganized. I think we should be cautious about the allocation of funds."

"Yes, we still need to think carefully about it. Let's allocate this money to the medical department!"

Some ninjas related to the medical department couldn't help but agree, but most people chose to watch the show silently.

Fugaku's expression gradually became ugly. He didn't expect that these assistants would actually join forces to suppress Uchiha.

If the contents of these meetings were reported back to the clan, he could already imagine the anger of the elders.

He was a little annoyed at the moment, and snorted coldly and asked, "What you three said is easy, how can we organize the guard team without funds?"

Shisui's mouth twitched when he heard that, and he glanced at Fugaku in disbelief.

Utatane Koharu seized the opportunity and said, "Since Minister Fugaku has also realized the incompetence of the Security Department, then we should think carefully about how to rectify it in the next year. As for the funding this time, I think we should just follow the same way as last time."

Fugaku paused. When did he admit the incompetence of the Guard Department?

The third generation sighed and chimed in again, "Funds are limited, and the war is over, so there is no need to increase the medical department's funding.

The security department is also very important to the village, so let’s keep the funds there.”

Seeing the Sandai speaking again, Utane Koharu took a deep breath and was very confused, while Mito Kado En realized something was wrong and chose to remain silent.

Danzo glanced at Utane Koharu and sneered, then suddenly suggested: "Since the medical department already has enough funding, why not transfer 20 million ryo from the security department to repair the places that the Nine-Tails damaged last time."

Nine tails!

Fugaku was suddenly speechless. After all, the Nine-Tailed Fox was an obstacle they could not get around.

The Third Hokage frowned and ignored Danzo. Instead, he looked deeply at Fugaku. The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be some helplessness in their eyes.

"Shall we take a vote, then?"

Seeing that the third generation was silent, Mitomon Yan made a suggestion.

Utane Koharu glared at Danzo, and although she was a little unwilling, she could only nod.

Everyone looked at the Third Generation again. Since things had come to this, he had no choice but to agree.

It was not until this moment that Sarutobi Yuki took the lead in presiding over the vote, but the three Uchiha tribes had already anticipated the result.

The Hokage, assistants, and the six department heads are not allowed to participate in any votes.

Only other jonin could vote, and the results came out very quickly. As expected, 24 people agreed to allocate funds, 3 were against, and basically all the ninjas chose to abstain.
