Chapter 190 Economic Investigation·Mission Gold Case

On the first day of the reform of the Guard, the villagers of Konoha already felt it.

Because the guards who used to patrol everywhere with dark faces disappeared, and were replaced by several Uchiha with smiling faces and cheerful all day long.

There are actually quite a few such Uchiha in the Uchiha clan. As long as they are young, have never dealt with the village, have not inherited hatred from their parents, and still retain a childlike heart, they are basically this kind of people.

These people usually love to respect the elderly and love the young in the village, and do things within their ability, so they are already liked by people. When they become police officers, they naturally have a good foundation of public support.

With the help of smiling law enforcement, warning before taking action, reading the regulations before taking action, and not being allowed to take the villagers' things, these people's mental outlook is even more brand new, and they are directly loved by the villagers.

Even if someone commits a crime and is caught, everyone can understand because they will recite the law in public.

At this time, the influence of the Guard is still only among the civilians.

Seven days later, this influence finally spread to the ninja clan and even the Hokage's office.

Because the new equipment of the guard team has arrived!

Police uniforms, police hats, windbreakers, shields, helmets, electric batons, and stun guns.

All the guards immediately changed their old uniforms and wore new uniforms. They had no missions, but they insisted on patrolling the streets.

So much so that when Sarutobi Hiruzen went downstairs to eat, he could see the Uchiha patrolling the streets.

"Go and find out what's going on?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

"I'll go and ask." An Anbu immediately responded.

A moment later, he came back with a flyer.

"Hokage, look!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took the flyer and glanced at it, and his face immediately darkened.

This turned out to be an advertisement, but it was not for selling any products, but for promoting the Konoha Guard.

It actually said "If you have any trouble, find the guard!"

In addition, there was a huge bell painted on it, saying that as long as the bell rang, the guards on the street would rush over quickly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked over and saw a round bell on a telephone pole in the middle of the street.

"There are guards on every street, and there are alarm bells for people to call the police. Once the bell is pressed, they will arrive quickly?"

"Can the Uchiha clan smile?"

Looking at an Uchiha wearing a new uniform of the guard team, smiling and helping an old lady cross the street, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

He has realized the role of the entire system reform.

First of all, these uniforms are so handsome that ordinary people like them at first.

Secondly, the appearance of the alarm bell allows the guards to arrive at the crime scene quickly, unlike before, when the fight was over and the guards arrived late.

Finally, isn't the reason why the Uchiha clan is so annoying because of that stinky face and the attitude of looking down on people?

But now the Uchiha actually knows how to smile

Who else would hate them?

When Senju Tobirama established the Uchiha Guard, he might have been thinking about making the Uchiha clan offend the villagers and unable to integrate into Konoha.

He knows Uchiha so well that he even knows the principle of the Uchiha clan's eyes opening. Of course, he knows the Uchiha clan's attitude towards people and what the result of doing security work is.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo inherited Senju Tobirama's attitude towards the Uchiha clan, but the reasons why they hate Uchiha are different.

Senju Tobirama hates Uchiha because he knows Uchiha.

The special way of opening the eyes of the Uchiha clan makes everyone in the Uchiha clan potentially mentally ill and antisocial.

After all, even if a normal person encounters the most unfair things, at most he will kill the enemy's family, right?

But Uchiha, once angry, once angry, once the Mangekyo is opened, he can drag the village to perish together!

Sarutobi Hiruzen hates Uchiha because of the power struggle.

He does not have the prestige of Senju Tobirama to make the Uchiha clan obey him. Not only does the Uchiha clan not listen to him, but they often confront him.

With such a disobedient subordinate, he also has his own independent armed forces and forces. It's a miracle that he likes him!

The different reasons of the two people actually led to the same attitude, that is: the Uchiha clan must not be tolerated by Konoha, so that it is easier to control.

This attitude did not need to be deliberately expressed before, because the Uchiha themselves would do annoying things.

But now, the Uchiha actually began to win the hearts of the people!

How can this be?

Sarutobi Hiruzen suppressed his anger and chose to wait and see for the time being.

He had to wait and see, after all, Konoha was still fighting with other villages, and there must be no chaos inside.

Then, he got more reform plans for the guard team.

He didn't care when he saw the ninja police, economic police and internal police, but when he saw the armed ninja police, he couldn't help it.

"It is composed of elite experts of the Uchiha clan, specializing in responding to major crimes, armed riots, and ninja crimes that may occur in Konoha City!"

"The current organization is 60 people, divided into three battalions"

"Isn't this a benchmark for the Anbu? What do they want to do? They want to set up another Hokage office building?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen slapped the table and said, "Ask Sarutobi Nobu to come over!"

Not long after, Sarutobi Nobu, who was nearly 40 years old, strong and healthy, but looked confused, came.

He was an elite jonin of the Sarutobi clan. After Danzo disappeared, he was transferred to the Root by the Sarutobi clan as the leader and took over Danzo's job.

Sarutobi Hiruzen threw the document directly in front of Sarutobi Nobu: "Look, do you know these things or not?"

"Reform of the Uchiha clan?" Sarutobi picked up the document and looked at it twice, then nodded: "I know!"

"Do you know why you didn't report it?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked sharply: "Isn't it your job to monitor Uchiha? Why did our ANBU discover it first?"

"But, is it necessary to report this kind of thing?" Sarutobi Nobu was confused: "I have seen all these reforms. They are all good for the village and the villagers, and there is no part that threatens Konoha!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen almost spat out his old blood.

"Sarutobi Nobu, Sarutobi Nobu, you!" Sarutobi Hiruzen pointed at the middle-aged man in front of him, not knowing what to say.

Why not just tell Sarutobi about the conflict between the Sarutobi clan and the Uchiha clan?

In fact, there is a paradox involved here.

Take the emperor and the prince as an example.

Why are many emperors very smart and aware of the dangers of civil servants? Why do they still let civil servants teach the prince?

Why not take the prince with you and teach the emperor the art of mind?

The answer is simple, the prince follows the civil servants, even if he is pedantic, at least he is filial.

But if you follow me and learn the art of the emperor's mind, what if you learn it too well and want to kill the king and rise to power?

The same is true for Sarutobi Hiruzen and Sarutobi Nobu.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen has a family in his heart, there are also differences in kinship and distance within the family. For example, his own son is greater than his brother's son.

He wanted the position of Hokage to continue to be passed down to the Sarutobi clan, but the prerequisite was that this person must be his son or grandson.

Not just anyone from the Sarutobi clan.

Therefore, what Hiruzen Sarutobi implemented in the Sarutobi clan was truly the education of the will of fire.

Only by facing his own son can Hiruzen Sarutobi pass on the truth of the world.

The purpose is to prevent other Sarutobi from becoming ambitious so that they can remain loyal to his own lineage.

This is the reason why evil paths are so difficult to follow. There are too many ambitious people. Without extreme strength and tough tactics, it is impossible to control everyone.

Even if they are suppressed, these careerists will continue to fight among themselves.

A typical example of this is the Eight Kings Rebellion of the Jin Dynasty. Such a dynasty was established by all evil people, so much so that the emperor and ministers of the Jin Dynasty did not respect their own family members, but respected Zhuge Liang.

But it was of no use, and eventually it fell apart because there were too many evil people.

Sarutobi Nobu grew up receiving the Will of Fire education from an early age. Even if the Sarutobi clan weighs more in his heart, he will not hate Uchiha because of it.

Fortunately, Hiruzen Sarutobi was more eloquent and convinced Sarutobi Nobu with just one sentence.

If the Uchiha clan gets the support of the villagers and produces a powerful ninja, the next position of Hokage will belong to Uchiha!

"Then what should we do?" Sarutobi asked.

"First send people to watch and look for flaws in the Uchiha clan!" Hiruzen Sarutobi had no good solution. Unless Uchiha shouted for rebellion, he would have no reason to attack Uchiha.

Moreover, it is still a war period. If there is chaos within Konoha first,

Sarutobi Hiruzen still knows one thing. If Konoha is defeated by other villages, they will not ask for compensation, but if Konoha is defeated, other villages will not show mercy just because you do not want compensation.

"Yes!" Sarutobi nodded, and just as he was about to leave, there was suddenly a burst of noise outside.

"What happened outside?" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and shouted.

"Lord Hokage!" An ANBU came in: "The Uchiha people broke in!"

"What?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled, and then his eyes lit up. I was just about to find a weakness in you, but you exposed yourself?

"Let's go and have a look!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said, then looked at Sarutobi Nobu: "Recruit some of the people from the root!"

Although internal chaos at this time is not good for Konoha, if there is a chance to deal with the Uchiha clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen will not miss it.

After leaving the office and going downstairs, we arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the Hokage's office building, which is also the mission reception area.

Normally there are only a few people here, but today there were even more people, but it was just a group of people gathered in a circle, watching the excitement.

"Make way, make way, Hokage-sama is coming!" the two ANBU shouted, clearing a path for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen came to the crowd, he was shocked to see two economic policemen in light cyan uniforms commanding two ninja policemen. The two ninja policemen had already kneeled two office workers of the mission management office on the ground.

And these two office workers were none other than his Sarutobi clan!

"What happened here?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said immediately when he saw this, and asked: "Who among the four of you is taking the lead?"

"Hokage-sama!" A police officer came to Sarutobi Hiruzen, saluted, and showed his ID: "Director of the Economic Crime Investigation Division of the Konoha Police Bureau, Satoshi Uchiha, this is my partner Satoshi Uchiha. , we received a report that Sarutobi Cong and Sarutobi Kaoru, the staff of the Task Management Office, intercepted funds through high-collar and low-definition methods during their office hours. The amount was extremely huge and the circumstances were extremely serious, so we came here to arrest them!"

"Economic Crime Investigation Division?" Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. He had seen civilian police, ninja police, and armed ninja police before, but this was the first time for this economic investigation.

So he was trying to catch corruption?

However, how did the corruption arrest come to the head of our Hokage office building staff?

"What does high salary and low settlement mean?" Before Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth, a ninja in the crowd suddenly asked.

"High salary and low settlement means asking the task issuer for a high amount of task money, but the amount when making the task list is very low!" Uchiha Hui immediately said: "For example, for a C-level task, the merchants gave 200,000 taels, but the registration office staff only registered 150,000 taels, and the remaining 50,000 taels went into the pockets of the two of them!"

"What, is there such a thing?" The ninja's eyes widened immediately.

He is a civilian ninja. First, he cannot enjoy the grant, and second, he has no family income. The whole family depends on the task money he earns from doing tasks. As a result, you tell me that this part of the money was intercepted by someone?

"Captain Uchiha Hui!" Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately said: "I'm afraid there is another misunderstanding in this matter. Are you sure that the reporter did not lie? Or deliberately framed?"

In fact, only he knows that this matter is real and he instructed it, but this kind of thing is extremely hidden. Except for the staff of the task management office and the merchants themselves, no one else knows it.

Where did the Uchiha Guard get the news?

It couldn't be that the merchants reported it themselves!

"We never arrest people for no reason!" Uchiha Hui smiled and said, "We received the news on the 11th day, and then we started a secret investigation!"

He took out a stack of task lists and said, "Konoha's task lists have always been in quadruplicate. We Uchiha also have a copy because we are guarding the gate. Based on these files, we visited more than 300 merchants who had recently come to Konoha to issue tasks. Ninety-five percent of the funds they gave and the amount on the task list did not match!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to continue speaking when he heard Uchiha Hui say, "Of course, the possibility of 300 merchants joining forces to forge is very low, but it still exists. So we did another thing in these 11 days, which is to send merchants who have cooperated with us to Konoha to issue tasks and experience task management firsthand. The integrity of the clerks in the Konoha Task Management Office"

"Unfortunately, the result is very sad!"

Uchiha Hui shook his head, looked at everyone, and said: "There are a total of five windows in the Konoha Task Management Office, plus a rotating staff, a total of six staff members, but five of them are involved in this case"

"Three of them have been caught on the way to work, and the remaining two are here!"

He arched his hands, facing everyone, and said: "Everyone in Konoha Village, everyone who comes to issue tasks, and the ninjas who carry out tasks, I guess you will be very concerned about the progress of this case, so we will treat this matter as an important case and a special case, and strive to give everyone an answer within three days!"

After speaking, Uchiha Hui raised his hand, and the two ninja police immediately took the two clerks away.

The two clerks still wanted to resist, but they were sitting in the office, how could they resist Uchiha?

They were knocked unconscious twice and then directly dragged away.

Only everyone with a confused look on their faces, and Sarutobi Hiruzen, were left.

"Hokage-sama?" Sarutobi Nobu asked in a low voice, "What should we do?"

"Does the Uchiha Guard have the right to arrest corruption?" Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head and asked.

"It seems that they do." Sarutobi Nobu thought for a while and said, "When the Konoha Guard was founded, the second generation expected the guard to punish all illegalities, and corruption should be included in it!"

"Do I need you to remind me?" Sarutobi Hiruzen gritted his teeth unhappily, and then looked at everyone.

Such a big thing happened in the Hokage's office building, and the other people in the hall are still looking at him, the Hokage!

If he doesn't say something, I'm afraid the fire will burn him tomorrow.

Even tomorrow is not needed. These office workers work here every day, and everyone knows their surnames and names.

They are all surnamed Sarutobi!

Who would believe you if you said they have nothing to do with you, Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Sarutobi Hiruzen activated the water escape in his eyes, and his eyes turned red in just a moment.

"I just learned about this matter. I am very shocked and sad. I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the Hokage's office building. I gave them trust, but they actually repaid me like this!"

"These five office workers are all named Sarutobi!"

Instead of being pointed out by others, I might as well say it first!

"This matter is a shame to the Sarutobi clan and Konoha!"

"I am heartbroken and ashamed of Konoha!"

"Ashamed of the first generation and the second generation, I wish I could remove myself!"

Clenching his fists, Sarutobi Hiruzen said passionately: "I will also pay attention to this case throughout the process. I hope that the Uchiha clan can enforce the law impartially, dig deep, and return Konoha to a bright and clear world!"

"After the results come out, I will convene a Konoha meeting and announce my abdication!"

"Ah!?" Everyone present was shocked. The Hokage is going to abdicate?

You know, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been the Hokage for too many years, and everyone has gotten used to it.

Now you are suddenly going to abdicate, this feeling is like the big tree that has been with me all day is about to fall. I am not so anxious all day, but I am definitely feeling empty inside.

But they thought of the five corrupt Sarutobi, and it seems that the Hokage is really involved in this matter.

Even if the Hokage cannot be found, isn’t it incompetent for you, the Hokage, to manage your subordinates like this!

So, is the Hokage really going to abdicate?

"Hokage, you can't abdicate!"

"Konoha Village can't live without you!"

Instantly, many of Sarutobi's loyal followers spoke up, and some villagers were in tears. Those who didn't know thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen was going to die.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was quite proud, but he still said earnestly: "I am to blame for this. I have made up my mind. That's it!"

He clasped his hands and went upstairs directly.

Only the shocked, confused, and tearful people were left standing in the hall.

Suddenly someone said: "All the people in the task management office have been arrested. How can we accept the task!"

"Didn't they arrest six people? Is there another one?"

"Six people, five of them are corrupt, and the remaining one is simply pure and innocent!"

"Who is the remaining person?"

"Yuhi Shinku!"

Yuhi Shinku was also confused. He didn't embezzle not because of Ning Yuan's reminder, but because Sarutobi Hiruzen intended to be democratic and deliberately arranged a person who was not named Sarutobi in the task management office, saying that I am not using all my family members!

And he had very little time to work, usually he had a chance to replace the other five people when they were sick or tired.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, there was only one person left in the whole department?

He heard someone calling him to work, and someone asked him to work directly with his clone.

Someone even called him Xiri Qingtian.

Xiri Shinku hurriedly bowed, "What a compliment!"

But Xiri Shinku didn't feel the joy of the promotion at this time, only a heavy heart.

It seems that something big is going to happen in Konoha Village!
