Kakashi didn't think that the current Cloud Ninja had the courage to continue the war. At this time, Konoha had returned to the undisputed top position among the five major nations with its top combat power.
This deterrent force can last at least ten years.
As for why this team was sent to assist the front line... because of Asuma.
He needs to help his good brother get out of this quagmire. On the surface, no one wants to have anything to do with the Sarutobi family, but there are too many people who contact Asuma privately.
Both good intentions and bad intentions will have a negative impact on it, especially during this period of time.
The only quiet place is the front line. It will be uncomfortable to be in the center of the vortex.
After seeing his friends off, Kakashi planned to deal with the difficult problem formally.
The interrogation of the elders and the reconstruction of the core area.
The interrogation of the two elders by the interrogation squad went very smoothly.
Especially after they were told that Sarutobi Hiruzen had escaped, the two of them spilled the beans, telling them everything they should have said or not said over the years.
It can't be said that he is a big villain, but he took advantage of Konoha's size and various aspects to seek benefits. The final figures seemed a bit crazy.
In fact, in terms of resource theft alone, the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan actually stole less.
These two families have a strong desire for power and control a lot of positions.
A dense network was woven, which also involved other ninja clans.
How could someone who is at the top of the pyramid in Konoha Village not have any interests connected with it?
No matter how simple the ninja system is, it still has its own social system.
Although the interrogation team was very frightened when they received these materials, they still did not dare to neglect their work. The information was continuously sent to the Hokage Building and handed over to the Hokage for processing.
"Oh, it would be nice if the teacher was here."
Kakashi had a splitting headache and didn't want to care about anything.
The Hokage has too many things to worry about when dealing with a matter, and threads coming from all directions are dragging him in a direction he doesn't like.
The reconstruction of the core area is even more troublesome, as a lot of the land belongs to these elders, or was obtained by some families through illegal means.
After this armed coup in Konoha, many very high-quality assets will appear out of thin air, and there will also be vacant positions waiting to be filled.
According to the information collected by the Anbu, the intention is that the ninja clan will return to the ninja clan, and everyone in the elders' group will share it together.
This simple approach is what everyone wants, and the resignation of F4 also means the beginning of a new reshuffle.
Those who are ready to make a move have already seen new opportunities in this.
As for civilians?
No one has the knowledge or ability to get involved. Even the Hokage cannot hinder the normal reconstruction work.
This gave the Hokage a headache. He could either accept it completely like Minato Sensei and then slowly transform it.
However, the resistance became greater as time went on, and based on what I learned later, I understood what it meant to be in a state of being unable to reverse the situation.
Directly resorting to knife tactics... would cause greater unrest and lack righteousness and manpower.
Isn't there a better way to handle it?
Kakashi felt that he had not learned enough, and the teacher should have talked about this before.
Then a man came to help.
To be precise, they came to take advantage of the east wind.
"Don't deal with problems separately. They are better solved together."
"I think you need a Hokage secretary, what do you think?"
The next day, an emergency meeting was held in the Hokage Building.
The meeting was chaired by the Fifth Hokage's secretary.
Everyone was confused by the strange secretary of the Hokage. There were only so many ninjas in the village, how come they had never seen this person before.
"I'm sorry I just transferred here from the Anbu, I hope everyone will cooperate."
"Hokage-sama is discussing important matters with the Sannin-sama, so I will be in charge of coordinating these matters for the time being."
The Hokage's secretary doesn't look like an ANBU at all, and he always smiles when talking to everyone.
Hinata and other family heads thought that when they had a chance, they would persuade Lord Kakashi to change someone else. How could a person in such an important position be without dignity?
Lord Hokage is already very kind. No matter how kind your subordinates are, they won't be able to manage a village well.
Then the meeting officially began.
Chapter 109 Easily resolved
After a while, everyone felt that what they saw just now was really prejudice. This guy was much more vicious than the people in the Anbu.
Several people have started sweating profusely, their hearts pounding.
First, a lot of information was spread out, indicating that this was the content provided by Utane Koharu and Elder Mitokado En, and there was also various negative information collected by Root Elder Danzo, so everyone should take a look.
"Shocking! Deserve to be killed!"
Uchiha Fugaku thought he was very rich. After all, they were a thousand-year-old ninja clan, and 60 years ago, there were ruthless people like Uchiha Madara.
It turns out that it's not working. It's because they haven't shown their true abilities that they have this illusion.
In terms of wealth, the Uchiha, who have been excluded for decades, are just at an upper-average level.
Then a pair of Sharingan moved around several abnormal families.
The Hinatas were in basically the same mood; the two major ninja clans were subject to the most restrictions and gained the least.
This is what happens when you foolishly guard your ancestral heritage and fail to keep up with the times. This Konoha really needs to be... reorganized.
These data and relationship networks are so beautiful that even the heads of the families themselves are not aware of some of them.
The Nara family's self-proclaimed clever cover-up method was completely exposed.
If you want to monopolize something, you must have support from the higher-ups. Even the pig, deer, and butterfly combined don’t have the power to do that.
Yoshitomo Nara, who was killed by the third generation, was the main manipulator.
It's terrible that some things cannot be made public. Now everyone knows how much is going on in order to monopolize the medicinal materials business.
There are also many little stories about other families.
Those jonin of commoner origin and small families with little resources immediately became unhappy.
Every day you call yourself Konoha people, but you try your best to be the superior ones. This is disgusting!
There was an instinctive commotion in the conference room; some people were afraid, some were angry, and some seemed to be thinking about something.
Because of the disclosure of interests, many senior ninjas and families were instantly divided into several factions. The original hope of rebuilding the industry according to the third generation period was to directly declare bankruptcy.
Some people even have to face the thundering methods of the Fifth Generation.
You know, before he came to power, everyone said that Kakashi was like Tobirama Senju, and Lord Tobirama's methods were really unpleasant.
Then, when everyone was panicking, the Hokage's secretary said that the Fifth Hokage was kind-hearted and did not want to pursue trivial matters, and everything was based on the development of Konoha.
This time only the main culprit will be executed, and several leaders of the elders' family will also be sent to the guillotine.
The remaining ordinary members can continue to survive by returning their income.
"Although it's very sad, I can't blame you all, after all, that was the trend before."
"I hope that everyone will not make the same mistake again under the leadership of Hokage-sama. As for the investigation of accounts going back decades, it has also been stopped."
"Konoha is everyone's Konoha. Such matters will be dealt with seriously in the future."
Many people breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this statement. If the matter was really pursued, they would not become lambs to be slaughtered.
By then, Konoha will probably have a second civil strife, and it will be more serious than the third generation's defection.
After all, Godaime-sama is kind and knows how to compromise.
Before everyone could feel at ease, they started to raise the issue of reconstruction of the core area, which involved the sensitive interests of all parties.
The Hokage's secretary said that because the Core War was fought too hastily, a lot of information was lost, including Konoha's planning map, so they could only redefine the industries of each family according to the map of the Nidaime period.
The ancestral lands of each ethnic group must be returned, but some areas that are not consistent with the original location of the village need to be re-investigated.
For example, to find out why there is an extra street in Nara House, you can simply check the source.
As long as it is compliant and legal, it must be returned to everyone.
Now, please ask all homeowners to report your own losses so that we can make a statistics.
"The core area of Konoha cannot always be barren. We have to consider the impact on the big village."
……
How to report this?
You said you would not pursue the matter, and then I became greedy and sent myself to the guillotine?
Is straight hook fishing still lacking a brainless chicken?
Everyone was silent.
The problem now is that Konoha F4's resources cannot be shared, and their own flesh has to be cut off...
"Ahem, sorry, sir. We haven't prepared the materials regarding the core area's industries yet. Can we submit them in a few days?"
Some people bravely spoke out.
"Ouch, this...wait a minute."
The Hokage's secretary left for a while with an embarrassed look on his face. In fact, he spent a long time in the Hokage's office drinking tea and reading books under Kakashi's astonished eyes.
“Even though they know I’m an actor, they’re still scared.”
"Godaime-sama's methods are quite clever..."
"You can tell me later..."
Half an hour later, the Hokage's secretary agreed with an embarrassed look that everyone wanted to postpone the submission of the application, but no later than 3 days.
It just so happened that the Fifth Hokage also came to the meeting room after communicating with the Three Ninjas.
"Sorry, we were just discussing how to arrange the ninja army returning from the front line."
"Learn more from the Sannin seniors, so that you won't go down the wrong path."
Kakashi's words made the strangeness in the eyes of several people disappear completely. There is still a wartime ninja army returning from the front line. What a coincidence.
The three ninjas, the frontline ninjas, can make sure that no one can turn the tables.
The new Hokage's methods were swift and decisive, and he chopped everyone into a bloody mess with just a few strokes of his sword.
But he chose not to come forward and negotiate on his own. What a "kind" person he is.
Everyone suppressed their heartache and said that they could understand the Hokage's job.
The last topic is when the official Hokage handover ceremony will begin.
Everyone's opinion was that it was most appropriate to refer to the period of the Sandaime. He held the ceremony after the end of the First Ninja World War. There was no handover from the Second Hokage, but the ceremony was still completed steadily.
Kakashi said that he would wait until all three elders were brought to justice before holding the ceremony, in order to show a different style from the previous ten years.
"Anyone who hurts Konoha will pay the price!"
This kind of determination made everyone's heart tremble. The heart of the Five Generations is as sharp as a knife.
After the meeting, they left in twos and threes. Ordinary ninjas and families who did not cause trouble naturally turned around and applied for reconstruction.
Those who have something to hide will be in trouble when they return home, because some things are not worth the weight.
This time, we must provide a lot of resources to satisfy the Fifth Hokage so that we can get through this period smoothly. As for the future... let's talk about it after he comes.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's initial belief was not much different from Kakashi's.
In the Hokage Building, the Hokage who was full of faith was summarizing and learning, trying to understand the understated operation just now.
It's as perfect as a scalpel to differentiate, and then it feels so good to pressure people with sin.
The industries and resources that can be recovered this time are enough for him to carry out his own reform work, and those positions of real power will not be discussed later.
