Konoha's Mission Master

Let him be more confident.

Let the flames burn even more fiercely.

Burn away his laziness and sloth...

"certainly…!"

Obito Uchiha adjusted his goggles and smiled.

"I believe you...can do it too."

Kakashi turned his head and said seriously to Obito.

But when Kakashi turned around and looked at his father on the high platform, a deep longing appeared on his face. One day, he would also stand on the high platform like his father.

From this day forward, Obito and Kakashi will be rivals striving towards the same goal.

“Let’s go, let’s go train,” Yakumo said.

"it is good."

The group nodded and squeezed through the crowd to the training ground.

After waking up today, they gathered on the street to wait for the results inside the Hokage Building. When Hatake Sakumo received the God Robe, his friends were overjoyed.

At that very moment, a certain task was quietly completed.

Ding--

"Detection detected: Sakumo Hatake's fate has been reversed."

"Bond Quest: Kakashi, Completed!"

'Mission reward has been issued.'

Congratulations on obtaining three Grandmaster Breakthrough Scrolls.

Bonus reward: Ultimate Taijutsu Technique - Thousand Years of Death!

[Description: Copy Ninja Kakashi Hatake's only self-created taijutsu technique, imbued with a mysterious power, possesses the unique ability to enhance brotherly friendship.]

Yakumo laughed, and then froze...

“Obito…” Yakumo began.

"What...?" Obito Uchiha turned around and asked.

"Physical Technique Secret: Thousand Years of Death!"

"Aww~~ Damn it!"

"Kakashi... take this Thousand Years of Death!"

Obito Uchiha instantly grasped the essence of the Thousand Years of Death and charged towards Kakashi Hatake.

"Hey... you bastard, don't you dare lay a hand on Lin!!"

Obito Uchiha shoved Yakumo aside, but Kakashi ambushed him in the rear, and a scream... spread outwards.

Inside the Hokage meeting room, the true high-ranking members of Konoha Village were gathered: Sakumo Hatake, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, Fugaku Uchiha, and Hiashi Hyuga.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi has stepped down as Hokage, he remains a member of the Konoha Elders Council and is undoubtedly a powerful figure.

"Now I announce the first order: starting tomorrow, members of the Uchiha clan can apply to join the Anbu, but according to the rules, they must first undergo a background check by the Anbu's intelligence department."

Sakumo Hatake's first order was like a thunderclap, causing everyone in the office to change their expressions. Some were secretly pleased, while many more became angry.

“No way!” Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately denied.

“This is inappropriate!” Mitokado Homura also chimed in.

"Don't forget... I am the Hokage now!"

Sakumo Hatake spoke in a slightly somber tone, gradually releasing his aura. Compared to half a year ago, his imposing presence was even stronger, revealing his sharp edge.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless... He hadn't expected Sakumo Hatake to implement such sweeping reforms so soon after taking office.

"Yes, sir." Fugaku Uchiha replied immediately, his face revealing undisguised surprise.

At the same time, he thought to himself, "From today onwards, Hatake Sakumo is a friend of the Uchiha clan. As long as you don't ostracize the Uchiha clan, we are friends."

The Uchiha clan truly suffered in Konoha. They were wary of the Second Hokage, restricted by the Third Hokage, and monitored by the Third Hokage's close friend. Despite their seemingly large and powerful clan, they were actually far removed from the true core of power.

"On the other hand, the Konoha Police Department also needs to allocate quotas to recruit people from the entire Konoha."

Fugaku Uchiha's smile deepened. The Konoha Police Department, on the surface, represented the privileges of the Uchiha clan, but it was a thankless job that caused conflicts between the Uchiha clan and other major ninja clans. Hatake Sakumo's benefactor!

"Furthermore... I would suggest that the Daimyo abolish the grain trade contract with the Land of Lightning, as I cannot accept this price."

“This is feasible…” Fugaku Uchiha immediately said.

Aren't you afraid of inciting war?

Mitokado En's expression was rather unpleasant.

"If the Cloud Ninjas engage in battle, then we will follow..."

Sakumo Hatake looked at Homura Mitokado and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Konoha has never been afraid of war!"

“I agree!” Fugaku Uchiha immediately said.

"If the Cloud Ninja goes to war, I am willing to lead the elite of the Uchiha clan to the front lines!"

Due to the special conditions required to awaken the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan never fears war and even craves the battlefield. Although each time they rush to the front lines, they suffer heavy casualties, they also give birth to more than a dozen pairs of three-tomoe Sharingan. These people with three-tomoe Sharingan are the true core of the Uchiha clan...

Of course, Fugaku Uchiha did not believe that the Land of Lightning would start a ninja war just because of the abolition of the food import treaty. At this moment, his shout of agreement was more like taking sides.

Starting today... the Uchiha clan is no longer a neutral party, but supports the Fourth Hokage, Sakumo Hatake.

As long as you don't target me, we're friends.

Mitokado Homura looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and found the latter silent. He was increasingly unable to understand his old friend's calculations.

"The Root will be disbanded within five days, and members can choose whether or not to join the Dark Side," Hatake Sakumo continued.

Everyone immediately looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, since the Root organization was now essentially his private army, and Sakumo Hatake's move was aimed at breaking Hiruzen Sarutobi's last trump card.

“Okay.” After a few seconds of silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi replied.

"One more thing, I need the finance department to increase the compensation for the children of fallen martyrs, as well as increase the monthly relief payments until the children reach the age of twelve."

Twelve years old is the age to graduate from the Ninja Academy. Becoming a genin or finding a job within Konoha is enough to support oneself in the Hidden Leaf Village.

"No... According to the Ministry of Finance's current plan, a certain amount of money is stored up every year to prevent a possible outbreak of persecution... Increasing pensions and relief payments will increase fiscal spending and cause a shortage of military funds when war breaks out."

Mitokado Yan refused almost instantly, his face serious, and his words were reasonable and well-founded.

“Then we will deduct a portion of the monthly stipends for Jonin and the Elders, while increasing the commission rate for S-rank missions. I will send someone to the Land of Fire to negotiate with the Daimyo and increase Konoha’s annual military budget.”

Sakumo Hatake made the decision almost without hesitation. It was a decision he had been thinking about for a long time, and he was willing to offend many people as a result.

"Then...yes!" Mitomon En laughed.

At this moment, his smile was either dazzling or sinister. Hatake Sakumo's order could be said to have completely offended 80% of Konoha's Jonin.

In that case, the Fourth Hokage... won't be here for long!

"Then let's adjourn the meeting."

Sakumo Hatake waved his hand and gave the order. He had already seen through Mitokado Homura's thoughts, but so what?

Sakumo Hatake is doing his part for the descendants of his comrades who died on the battlefield, even if it offends many people, but so what... he has a clear conscience.

"I am willing to donate 40% of my annual mission earnings to support this decision. Those martyrs who sacrificed their lives to protect Konoha deserve better care."

Jiraiya, who had been slacking off the whole time, continued speaking in a very calm tone, as if he had entered the office for a high-level meeting and waited for this opportunity to say these words.

He is the patch.

"Lord Hokage, the Uchiha clan is willing to donate 500 million to support this order. The descendants of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for Konoha should enjoy better treatment."

Suddenly, Fugaku Uchiha stepped forward and said.

“I… on behalf of the Sarutobi clan, am willing to donate.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, but his expression was somewhat complicated.

In the end… I was still tricked by the little fox.

After everyone dispersed, the various ninja clans, for the sake of their reputations, donated a large sum of money to help Konoha establish an orphan relief fund to provide relief and emergency aid to the descendants of fallen soldiers.

A few minutes later, Hiruzen Sarutobi returned.

"Is there something you need, Third Hokage?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with some concern, his tone slightly stern.

"You allowed the Uchiha clan into the heart of Konoha Village, aren't you afraid you won't be able to control them? Or do you simply not understand how terrifying they are!?"

"Of course I'm not afraid... After all, even the legendary ancestor of the Uchiha clan wasn't as strong as Yakumo is now when he was nine years old, so... I'm not afraid!"

“You…” Hiruzen Sarutobi said helplessly.

“I might not be able to control it… but Yakumo definitely can.”

Sakumo Hatake said in an extremely confident tone.

Chapter 154 Hatake Secret Manual, Grandmaster Level

The passing of the torch between Hokage gradually came to an end and subsided.

Konoha Village returned to its usual peace and tranquility, and just as everything was gradually getting back on track, Hatake Sakumo began to issue decrees.

"The roots disintegrate."

"Relief Fund".

"Increase the commission rate for Jonin missions."
