Madara, let's change the world together!

The former emphasizes individual presentation, while the latter emphasizes teamwork.

In short, the Hyuga clan, with their unparalleled Byakugan's perceptive abilities, became indispensable sensory ninjas on the battlefield.

Thanks to this ability, the Hyuga clan has made many friends and made a wide circle of acquaintances.

Although outsiders have some criticisms of their clan's rules, it doesn't prevent them from having one of the best reputations among the Konoha clans.

"There is a service fee for this task, and we would appreciate it if the head of the Hyuga family could lend a hand."

Hiashi Hyuga did not answer immediately.

Is it not a good idea to make this decision without consulting the heads of other families?

However, the Fourth Hokage's attitude clearly showed that he was determined to handle this matter. This compensation money was obtained by the other party and was done in accordance with the rules, so they had no reason to interfere with the arrangements.

If he agrees, he'll at least gain some good reputation.

Since the matter is settled, then

"Lord Hokage, our Hyuga clan naturally offers our full support, but we still need to discuss this matter further. At the latest, our Hyuga clan will give you a reply within three days!"

Minato's expression changed slightly, but he still maintained his smile.

"Then I will await the Hyuga family head's reply."

After saying that, Minato left, accompanied by Hiashi Hyuga.

After he walked away, his expression became serious.

It's a bit much that such a small matter needs to be discussed. Even if Hiashi Hyuga is cautious by nature, isn't it a bit too much?

It seems that the ninja clans of Konoha have close ties, with only the Uchiha clan standing alone.

We must hurry up and cultivate his direct subordinates!

If it weren't for the fact that Might Day and Might Guy's personalities were so incompatible, he would have wanted to bring them over.

Next, Minato did not return to the Hokage's office, but went to the Konoha orphanage.

He had never been here before.

Before the war, it was often said that the Konoha Orphanage was short of funds, and this compensation should be able to relieve their urgent needs.

however

"Lord Hokage, thank you for the donation, but our orphanage already has enough funds."

The pharmacist, Nono, with blond hair and round glasses, politely declined Minato's offer.

She gestured to the bright and beautiful orphanage behind her and said with great gratitude.

"We are extremely grateful to Lord Yuan. Our orphanage received financial assistance three years ago."

"As long as the children here can demonstrate what they have learned and contribute to the Chamber of Commerce, Master Yuan will not hesitate to provide them with living assistance."

"The children in the orphanage are now proud to work for the Chamber of Commerce in the future."

Is that so?

Minato Namikaze scratched his head awkwardly. He hadn't even done any research beforehand; it was a real blunder.

At that moment, a child with gray hair wearing glasses similar to those worn by Nono peeked out from the doorway.

"Kabuto, is something the matter?"

Yakushi Nonou looked at the child who had recently come to the orphanage and was learning medical ninjutsu from her, and a maternal smile appeared on her face.

"Dean, what should we prepare for lunch?"

"Hold on."

Minato saw the happiness in Nonou's smile, and then heard her rejection.

"The orphanage's current expenses are sufficient. Please, Lord Hokage, use this money where it is more needed."

Ok

Minato Namikaze had no choice but to return and consider other ways to use the money.

I never expected that Mr. Yuan's business association would even invest in Konoha's orphanage.

After Minato Namikaze visited the Hyuga clan and the orphanage, and posted the details of the compensation distribution on the bulletin board of the Hokage Building, all the high-ranking officials of Konoha and the heads of the various ninja clans knew about it.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi found out, he sighed.

In the end, Minato Namikaze chose a different path.

Let him see what the final outcome of Minato's story will be.

The next day, Hyuga Hizashi visited Namikaze Minato and promised that the Hyuga clan would be responsible for distributing the pensions.

All accounts will be posted on the bulletin board, and eligible individuals can register and receive their pensions at designated locations within the village.

As for the members of the ninja clan, they are the same as ordinary people and need to go to the designated locations to collect their rewards.

After that, news of the compensation spread, and the villagers discussed it enthusiastically.

First, he praised the Fourth Hokage's benevolence; second, he praised the Chamber of Commerce President Kiyoi Gen's magnanimity.

In short, the Konoha Merchant Guild has once again made a strong impression on the residents of Konoha, and its already high reputation has become even higher.

At the same time, the ninjas of Konoha also gained a new impression of Minato Namikaze.

At least, many ninjas quite like this fair, just, and transparent way of doing things.

This includes the current Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku.

Chapter 236 The Reactions of the Various Ninja Clans

When Fugaku Uchiha heard that Hyuga had taken over the job, he was at the Konoha Police Department receiving a report from his subordinates on the latest progress of the pension issue.

"Chieftain, shall we go and collect it?"

"This is what the Uchiha Jonin asked."

"Of course, we Uchiha will just follow the rules and regulations."

"Let the eligible members of the tribe collect it themselves."

He paused while writing and added.

"Send a Uchiha-made sweet to the Hokage as a small gift to thank him for the extra compensation."

"Yes!"

The next second, the ninja left.

Fugaku Uchiha's brush began to move again, writing the name "Sasuke" on the white scroll paper.

He decided to name his unborn child "Sasuke," the same name as the Third Hokage's father, Sarutobi Sasuke.

He told the public that he hoped his second son would become a great ninja like Sarutobi Sasuke.

The Uchiha clan needs an opportunity, a chance to ease tensions with the village.

The subtle sense of surveillance surrounding the new Fourth Hokage disappeared shortly after he took office, indicating that this Hokage truly has the value of strengthening communication.

Fugaku was well aware of the Uchiha clan's predicament.

Under Danzo's watchful eye, he dared not let the Uchiha clan sever ties with the village, nor did he dare let them make a mistake.

If they were to further provoke conflict between their clansmen and the Konoha leadership, the Uchiha would have few options left.

It is the Uchiha clan's good fortune to have a Hokage whose style differs from Hiruzen Sarutobi's.

We must grasp this carefully!

At that moment, Fugaku Uchiha thought of Mikoto Uchiha.

He had already kicked Mikoto, a high-level combatant, out of the core circle of the Uchiha clan, but he was only supervising her to ensure that the Uchiha bloodline would not be leaked.

But since she has a close relationship with Gen Kiyoi, the president of the Konoha Chamber of Commerce, and the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze also has a close relationship with Gen Kiyoi, is it possible for Mikoto to contact the Fourth Hokage?

He wanted to give it a try.

Perhaps this opportunity will allow me to speak with the Fourth Hokage in a private capacity.

After this incident, the Uchiha clan planned to try to get closer to Minato Namikaze, and other ninja clans naturally had their own strategies.

Hyuga, for example, chose the same course of action as during the Third Hokage's time: neither too close nor too distant.

This way of doing things is also the reason why they have never been able to touch the core of Konoha's power.

The Nara clan intends to continue to observe for the time being and handle matters officially. The Yamanaka and Akimichi clans, who have close ties with them, naturally share the same attitude.

It should be said that while most ninja clans did not intend to get close to Minato Namikaze, they also did not intend to cause him any trouble.

The Shimura clan already showed signs of disliking the Fourth Hokage.

That being said, although Shimura Danzo belonged to the Shimura clan, he was not the clan leader, did not manage affairs at all, and did not even leave any descendants.

As a member of the family, I only occasionally take care of the family.

Furthermore, the Shimura and Sarutobi clans had been watching over each other since the Warring States period, and during the time of the Third Hokage, both clans received various benefits and developed very rapidly.

Because of the excessive privileges they have now, some people are starting to feel dissatisfied as they no longer receive any benefits.

However, the Watergate approach left no room for criticism.

They were just somewhat dissatisfied, and of course, that was all they could do.

Before all the ninja clans fully understand Minato's methods and temperament, they will not act rashly.

After all, the shadow of a village usually represents the strongest individual force in that village.

Whether the Shadows can take control of the village depends on their own methods.

Otherwise, he would end up like the Second Raikage, who was killed by the Gold and Silver Brothers, who belonged to different factions in the same village.

Becoming a Kage is only the first step; it doesn't mean that becoming a Kage will give you complete control over the village's power.

To truly gain a foothold, one must rely on one's own methods.

Of course, if you're as strong as Hashirama Senju, then you don't need to worry about anything; no one will dare to resist you.

Someone like Tobirama Senju was ruthless and created the Anbu, a special unit specializing in assassination tactics. During his tenure, no one dared to cause him trouble, and his prestige was exceptionally high.
