Konoha: Namikaze Minato, Saved Kushina

A week later, listening to Uchiha Iron Tree's report, Lingye nodded with satisfaction.

The Konoha garrison originally had less than 200 people, but now it has increased to 500.

The minimum condition for joining the Konoha Guard is that the strength is at least Chūnin. Only when the strength reaches Chūnin are they eligible to participate in the selection.

After passing the selection, you will be an official member of the Konoha Guard.

Therefore, even the weakest members of the Konoha Guard can be regarded as good players among Chunin.

However, most of the recruits were Chūnin, and there were not many Jōnin at all.

"Let's recruit these for the time being, and try to recruit some powerful ninjas to join our Konoha Guard in the future."

Lingye instructed Uchiha Iron Tree.

"Yes, Lord Patriarch."

Although Uchiha Iron Tree responded, he had a bit of a wry smile on his face.

Jōnin and Elite Jōnin, both mainstays of Konoha Village.

Although the salary given by their Konoha Guard is not low, it is not attractive to Jōnin and Elite Jōnin.

"Uchiha Fugaku hasn't been to the Konoha Guard, has he?" Lingye asked Uchiha Iron Tree.

"Yes, Lord Patriarch, he has never been to the Konoha Guard."

"Abandoning his post without authorization, then revoke his position as deputy captain."

Lingye said directly.

With the opportunity to take away Uchiha Fugaku's vice-captain position, Lingye will certainly not be lenient, not to mention he has reasons.

"Remove his position as vice-captain, and you will be the vice-captain of the Konoha Guard in the future."

Lingye's words made Uchiha Iron Tree extremely excited, who didn't want to go one step further.

"Thank you, Patriarch, for your attention."

"Became the vice-captain, perform your duties well. I like capable people. Don't let me down."

If you let him down, then Uchiha Lingye can only replace him.

"I promise not to disappoint the patriarch."

Uchiha Tieshu bid farewell to Lingye with joy on his face.

"It would be appropriate to have Uchiha Tieshu as the vice-captain. He has both strength and ability. If Uchiha Yadai assists him, he should be able to do a good job."

Originally, Lingye considered Mikoto as the deputy captain of the Konoha Guard, but after careful consideration, let Mikoto be his assistant secretary.

After leaving from Lingye, Uchiha Iron Tree went to inform Uchiha Fugaku.

Seeing Uchiha Iron Tree who came in through the door, Uchiha Fugaku had a sullen face.

"What are you doing here?"

The other party is Uchiha Lingye's lackey, and Uchiha Fugaku's tone is naturally unfriendly.

"Uchiha Fugaku, you have left your post without permission. As the vice-captain, you have never been to the Konoha Guard. The patriarch ordered you to be removed from the position of vice-captain."

Uchiha Iron Tree looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a sneer.

"What."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku immediately stood up.

The position of deputy captain of the Konoha Guard is still useful to him.

With this position, at least some people from the Uchiha family will listen to him. If he is removed, who will talk to him?

"What qualifications does Uchiha Lingye have to remove my vice-captain position?"

Unable to restrain his emotions, Uchiha Fugaku asked furiously.

"You are so bold, calling the patriarch's name directly. This is the patriarch's order. You must obey if you obey, and you must obey if you don't obey."

Uchiha Iron Tree stared at Uchiha Fugaku with cold eyes.

"If you dare to have any dissatisfaction with the patriarch, I will cut off your head with my own hands."

Listening to Uchiha Iron Tree's words, Uchiha Fugaku felt aggrieved.

If it was before, would Uchiha Tieshu dare to talk to him like this?

"snort."

Uchiha Iron Tree snorted coldly, and left directly, leaving Uchiha Fugaku with a very ugly face.

After Uchiha Iron Tree left, Uchiha Fugaku contacted some Jōnin who still had contact with him in the clan to discuss.

"Master Fugaku, Uchiha Lingye is too much, I can't bear it."

"Yes, if we give in, Uchiha Lingye will definitely bully us again."

Several Jōnin, former Uchiha Shimada loyalists, were outraged.

Even though Uchiha Shimada's reputation in the Uchiha clan has been ruined, they have not changed their loyalty.

So now they are still loyal to Uchiha Fugaku.

"Master Fugaku, I do not recommend that you start a conflict with Uchiha Lingye now."

The only Elite Jōnin present besides Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Ichiro reminded Uchiha Fugaku carefully.

"Master Ichiro, what does this mean? Do you want to seek refuge with Uchiha Lingye?"

Someone asked dissatisfied, with suspicion in their eyes.

It has not been long since Uchiha Lingye became the patriarch, and many people who were originally loyal to the previous patriarch have defected to Uchiha Lingye.

Is it the same for Uchiha Ichiro?

"Hmph, you idiots, do you doubt me?" Uchiha Ichiro said with anger on his face.

"Shut up, I believe Ichiro will not betray my father, nor will he betray me."

Uchiha Fugaku glared at the man who had doubted Uchiha Ichiro just now.

Now Uchiha Ichiro is the strongest combat power on his side, and he can't lose it.

"Master Fugaku, the reason why I propose you to forbear is mainly to not give Uchiha Lingye a chance."

"Although Uchiha Lingye promised the patriarch that he will not target you after his death, Uchiha Lingye will never keep his promise."

"If you find an excuse for him, he will definitely attack you without hesitation. That's the case this time."

Uchiha Ichiro explained to Uchiha Fugaku carefully.

He suspected that the removal of Uchiha Fugaku this time was deliberately trying to anger Uchiha Fugaku.

If Uchiha Fugaku goes to Uchiha Lingye to settle accounts angrily, he will fall into Uchiha Lingye's trap.

"I hope Master Fugaku thinks clearly that our strength is not equal to that of Uchiha Lingye, and we need to wait for the opportunity."

Uchiha Ryuichi and Uchiha Ryuji joined forces, but they failed to kill Uchiha Lingye.

If there is a way to deal with Uchiha Lingye, Shimada-sama will not be forced to commit suicide and apologize.

"I see, I will calm down."

The impulsiveness on Uchiha Fugaku's face disappeared and he regained his composure.

What Uchiha Ichiro said made sense, and Uchiha Lingye couldn't find an excuse, otherwise, he would definitely get rid of himself.

Bear with it for now, as long as he can activate the Mangekyō Sharingan, he has a chance to turn defeat into victory.
