Akimichi Torifu lowered his eyelids and remained silent.

"However, Akimichi Choza is a hero of Konoha, and there is no need to hesitate too much when reviving a hero."

Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the subject, saying, "Let's give this resurrection coin to the Akimichi clan first, and then distribute it to the village once we've collected enough clan contribution points, how about that?"

Before the others could speak,

"Lord Hokage, you absolutely cannot!"

Shimura Danno jumped out and said, "We understand your desire to revive the heroes who protect Konoha, but if the order is broken, who will continue to protect the village wholeheartedly? Only by upholding the rules and paying enough clan contribution points to exchange for revival coins can Konoha remain stable."

"I've made up my mind."

A look of satisfaction flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes. He then lightly tapped the table and declared, "This resurrection coin will be given to Akimichi Torifu."

They were able to clearly understand his intentions in intimidating the various ninja clans, and they cooperated with him without hesitation.

As expected of Danzo, a close friend who fought alongside him, he has truly raised an excellent successor.

"However, what Shimura Danno said makes sense. If I break the rules at will, I, as the Hokage, will not be able to explain it to the other ninjas."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pretended to be hesitant, and after thinking for a moment, he sighed and said, "Torufu, how about this, in addition to the 200,000 family contribution points that should have been paid, the Akimichi family will give 50 players to the village to expand the Shadow Organization, how about that?"

See the picture poorly.

This is Hiruzen Sarutobi's true purpose.

Danzo, the close friend, was right. Even the Ino-Shika-Cho ninja clan, which has had ties with the Sarutobi family since the Warring States period, cannot be completely trusted.

A hint of caution flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

After he was removed from his position as Hokage, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio did not rescue him from his imprisonment. Instead, they betrayed Orochimaru for the sake of their clan's interests when Orochimaru targeted the ninja clans.

He hasn't forgotten any of these things.

Therefore, even though the Ino-Shika-Cho family seems loyal now, it still cannot dispel Hiruzen Sarutobi's resentment.

We must firmly keep our armed forces in our own hands.

"Hand it over to the Shadow Organization?"

The autumn wind seemed to daze slightly.

When his gaze fell on the Hokage's gentle, smiling face, he saw a shadow of Danzo Shimura from the past.

They claimed to be protecting Konoha, but they went against the wishes of the ninja clans by force and plunder, forcibly sending talented members of the ninja clans to Root.

Is the Hokage's current method any different from that of Danzo Shimura back then?

Akimichi Torifu's eyes were filled with disappointment.

But there was no room for refusal.

Each major ninja clan has elite ninjas who died in battle. Although they didn't say anything, they were all eagerly waiting for the resurrection coins.

If I refuse,

Even if the Konoha troops kill the boss monster and obtain resurrection coins, the Hokage can legitimately prioritize exchanging the resurrection coins for other ninja clans.

Who knows when we'll be able to revive Choza Akimichi?

Hiruzen Sarutobi wore a faint smile.

Without urging them, they quietly waited for Akimichi to make his decision.

He knew this classmate's character very well: honest and kind, and very concerned about the family's heritage. It was impossible for him to refuse to revive the family's pillar, Akimichi Choza.

I am confident of victory.

“Alright, my Akimichi clan is willing to send someone.”

Akimichi Torifu hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and prepared to agree.

Suddenly, a voice came from the back of the conference room.

Sarutobi Asuma's eyes showed dissatisfaction with the Hokage's underhanded power plays. He frowned and said, "The Konoha Special Mobile Force is willing to lend contribution points to the Akimichi clan."

Chapter 315 Kakashi is the ultimate winner

Konoha Special Mobile Force

It refers to the Konoha ninja led by Sarutobi Asuma.

Most of them were commoners who had never attended a ninja academy, so they were not swayed by the Will of Fire and did not have a morbid loyalty to the Hokage.

Asuma's Will of Fire clashes greatly with Hiruzen Sarutobi's.

Neither side was willing to back down, but they hadn't completely broken off relations.

To maintain the legitimacy of the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi voluntarily separated the Konoha ninja led by Asuma and called them the [Konoha Special Mobile Force].

"really?"

Akimichi Torifu, who had already given up hope and was about to compromise, suddenly froze and looked excitedly at the figure at the end of the table.

He wore his Konoha headband meticulously, along with his black, tight-fitting combat suit, and a hint of anger on his face, but he didn't show it.

He simply watched everyone quietly.

The Hokage Building's conference room has large, grid-like floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing dazzling sunlight to stream in and shine on most people.

Asma, due to his status, was assigned to sit in the shadows at the very end, where he was easily overlooked and never saw sunlight.

but,

When he stood up, he seemed to have a magical power that unconsciously attracted the attention of others, making everyone unable to help but turn their eyes to him.

"Konoha's Special Mobile Force is willing to spend 400,000 contribution points to purchase two resurrection coins."

Ignoring the Hokage's ashen face, Asuma looked at Akimichi Torifu and said, "Give one of them to the Akimichi family to revive Akimichi Choza."

A hero who died protecting Konoha.

He was unwilling to watch the chance for the other party to be resurrected be used as a bargaining chip for the Hokage to suppress the ninja clan.

This is a blasphemy against the Will of Fire.

"Sarutobi Asuma, do you understand what you're saying?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned deeply.

They were very rude, addressing Asuma by his full name.

"very clear."

Asma's gaze turned serious as he said, "I'm willing to spend 400,000 family reward points to buy two resurrection coins."

The Konoha Special Mobile Force, although not as large as the ninja forces led by the Hokage.

However, there are elite players like Tsunade and Naruto Uzumaki, so the accumulated clan contribution points are a very considerable asset.

"You only got two resurrection coins, and you want to buy them all right away?"

Shimura Danno's eyes were sinister as he questioned, "Does the Special Mobile Force think it can ignore so many ninja clans just because it's strong?"

His words put Asuma in direct opposition to all the ninja clans.

Furthermore, it subtly implied that the Mobile Force was usually very strong and therefore disobeyed the Hokage's orders.

"You are trying to confuse the public."

Asuma remained calm and said, "Aren't the Mobile Force members also Konoha ninja?"

Although the mobile unit is mostly composed of civilians and civilian ninjas, there are also clan ninjas who are on good terms with Asuma.

He simply detested the manipulation of power.

But having wandered around in his youth and worked as a guardian ninja, he was no stranger to these political tactics.

Asuma looked directly at the clan head Shimura and said, "Besides, I made it very clear that one of them is to be given to Lord Akimichi Torifu to revive the heroes of Konoha. The Mobile Force only needs one revival coin."

"Are you deliberately trying to confuse the issue, hoping to incite conflict between the ninja clans and the mobile forces, and to split Konoha?"

His tone was firm.

This caused Hiruzen Sarutobi to furrow his brow even more deeply.

The plan to recruit Akimichi clan ninjas to expand the Kage organization directly under the Hokage's control was already a done deal, but Asuma abruptly disrupted it.

This caused Hiruzen Sarutobi to be in a very bad mood.

He stared intently at Asma, his displeasure undisguised.

Despite being junior colleagues, Shimura Danno was considerate of him, taking the initiative to take on shady jobs that offended the Akimichi family in order to help him expand his shadow organization.

His own son stabbed him in the back.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt increasingly agitated.

But no way,

He had just agreed to Akimichi Torifu's request to demonstrate the Hokage's benevolence towards the heroes of Konoha, and as the Hokage, he couldn't easily go back on his word.

"In that case, let's give one resurrection coin to Akimichi Torifu to revive the heroes of Konoha."

He maintained his warm smile and raised a question: "However, the decision on who to give the second resurrection coin to requires discussion among the ninja clans and elite ninjas. We cannot make a hasty decision and simply hand it over to the mobile force."

The words fell,

The other ninjas echoed his sentiments, their gazes towards Asuma subtly revealing a hint of rejection.

Two hundred thousand clan contribution points are something that each ninja clan can grit their teeth and come up with; no one wants to hand over their precious resurrection coins.

That's a life!

The speaker was the head of the Hyuga clan. He looked at the other person with his pure and innocent Byakugan and said, "Although it's not for the Mobile Force, Lord Akimichi Torifu was able to get the revival coins because of Jonin Asuma, so it can be considered as indirectly taking up a spot in the Mobile Force to buy revival coins."

"With the second revival coin, the mobile force should not be eligible to continue competing."

Normally, Hiashi wouldn't want to antagonize Asuma, but unfortunately, the Hyuga clan is desperately short of a revival coin.

As a family with a long history, it has always upheld the system of clan and elders.
