The Konoha Special Mobile Unit refers to the Konoha Ninja led by Sarutobi Asuma.
Most of them are commoners who haven't attended Ninja School, so they aren't bound by the Fire Will and don't possess a pathological loyalty to the Hokage.
Asuma's Fire Will is in significant conflict with Sarutobi Hiruzen's.
Neither side was willing to back down, but they hadn't completely fallen out yet.
To maintain the Hokage's legitimacy, Sarutobi Hiruzen proactively designated the Konoha Ninja led by Asuma as the [Konoha Special Mobile Unit].
"Really?"
Akimichi Torifu, who had been despairing and preparing to compromise, suddenly froze and looked excitedly at the figure seated at the far end.
He wore his Konoha headband meticulously, a black tight-fitting combat uniform, and his face showed a hint of anger, though it hadn't erupted.
He was just quietly observing everyone.
The large grid-patterned floor-to-ceiling windows in the Hokage Building conference room allowed dazzling sunlight to stream in, illuminating most of the people.
Due to his status, Asuma was arranged to sit in the shadowed, easily overlooked, far corner where the sunlight couldn't reach.
However,
when he stood up, he seemed to possess an unconscious magic that drew others' attention, making everyone involuntarily turn their gaze towards him.
"The Konoha Special Mobile Unit is willing to offer 400,000 reward points to purchase two revival coins."
Asuma ignored the furious Hokage and looked at Akimichi Torifu, saying, "One of them will be given to the Akimichi to revive Akimichi Choza."
A hero who died protecting Konoha,
he was unwilling to watch the opportunity for his revival be used as a bargaining chip by the Hokage to suppress the Ninja Clan.
This was a desecration of the Fire Will.
"Sarutobi Asuma, are you clear about what you're saying?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned deeply,
his tone very impolite, directly addressing Asuma by his full name.
"Very clear."
Asuma's gaze was serious as he said, "I am willing to offer 400,000 family reward points to purchase two revival coins."
Although the Konoha Special Mobile Unit did not have the massive scale of the Ninja Clan forces led by the Hokage,
it had elite players like Tsunade and Naruto Uzumaki, so the accumulated family reward points were a very considerable asset.
"Only two revival coins dropped, and you immediately want to buy them all?"
Shimura Tanno's eyes were gloomy as he questioned, "Does the Special Mobile Unit, relying on its strength, believe it can disregard the many Ninja Clan?"
His words directly placed Asuma in opposition to all the Ninja Clan.
And subtly implied an accusation about the Mobile Unit's strong performance in daily life, leading to its disregard for the Hokage's orders.
"You are trying to mislead."
Asuma's expression remained calm as he said, "Is the Mobile Unit not part of the Konoha Ninja?"
Although the Mobile Unit mostly consisted of commoners and commoner Ninja, it also included Ninja Clan members who were on good terms with Asuma.
He merely disliked political maneuvering,
but having wandered extensively and served as a Guardian Ninja in his youth, he was not unfamiliar with such political tactics.
Asuma looked directly at Shimura Tanno, saying, "Furthermore, I made it very clear that one of them is for Akimichi Torifu, to revive a Konoha hero; the Mobile Unit only needs one revival coin."
"Are you deliberately trying to mislead, hoping to incite conflict between the Ninja Clan and the Mobile Unit, and divide Konoha?"
His tone was firm,
causing Sarutobi Hiruzen's frown to deepen.
The plan to incorporate the Akimichi Ninja into the Hokage's directly controlled Shadow Organization was originally set in stone, but Asuma abruptly disrupted it.
This left Sarutobi Hiruzen in a very bad mood.
He stared intently at Asuma, his displeasure undisguised.
Both were his juniors, yet Shimura Tanno could consider his interests, willingly taking on the dirty work of offending the Akimichi to help him expand the Shadow Organization.
His own son, however, was stabbing him in the back.
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart grew even more irritated.
But there was no other way.
He had just agreed to Akimichi Torifu's request to demonstrate the Hokage's benevolence towards Konoha's heroes, and as Hokage, he couldn't easily go back on his word.
"In that case, one revival coin will be given to Akimichi Torifu to revive a Konoha hero."
He maintained a gentle smile and questioned, "However, who the second revival coin goes to still needs to be discussed by all the Ninja Clan and elite Ninja; it cannot be decided hastily and given directly to the Mobile Unit."
As his voice fell,
the Ninja Clan members all echoed his sentiment, their gazes towards Asuma subtly showing rejection.
200,000 family reward points—each Ninja Clan could grit their teeth and produce that amount; no one wanted to hand over the rare revival coin.
That was a life!
It was the Hyūga Clan Head who spoke; his pure, flawless Byakugan looked at the other party and said, "Although it's not for the Mobile Unit, Akimichi Torifu being able to obtain a revival coin is due to Asuma Jonin, so it implicitly occupies the Mobile Unit's slot for purchasing a revival coin."
"The Mobile Unit should not be eligible to continue competing for the second revival coin."
Normally, Hiashi would not want to antagonize Asuma, but the Hyuga Clan desperately needed one revival coin.
As a long-standing clan, it had always adhered to the Main Family and Elder system,
but during the Konoha's destruction, all the Main Family Elders were killed by the clan traitor, Hyuga Neji.
The Main Family and Elder system existed in name only.
To be honest,
Hiashi did not resent Neji, who betrayed the clan, as much as one might imagine.
Putting aside the Main Family and Branch Family identities, Neji was, after all, his own younger brother's biological son, the most talented junior in the Hyuga Clan for hundreds of years, his own nephew.
He had placed great hopes on him,
wanting him to become a shield to protect the Main Family, but he had overlooked the resentment in Neji's heart towards the Main Family.
As the Clan Head, he was now unsure
whether the Main Family system, which had protected the clan's heritage since the Warring States Period, was truly right or wrong.
That's fine.
Whether an enemy, a traitor, or an innovator, it didn't matter.
Since the Hyuga Clan had already split into two factions, they would wait hundreds of years for facts to judge who was superior.
However,
a hint of worry flashed in the Hyūga Clan Head's eyes,
that nephew was still too young; even if he was a betrayer, he was a clan member with the same blood.
He was worried about Neji, who had not yet matured, possessing strength but still very naive, leading them to contend with the cunning and treacherous Orochimaru.
After much thought,
the best solution was to risk impeachment and revive Hizashi, so that Hizashi could go to the Fire Empire to assist and help Neji.
Back then, Hizashi wouldn't have died if it weren't for him blocking the Cloud Hidden war for Konoha.
He was well aware of his younger brother's methods and abilities; they were definitely not inferior to his own.
"That's right, since the Mobile Unit helped Akimichi Torifu secure a revival coin, they are not eligible to continue participating in the subsequent competition."
"Seconded."
The Ninja Clan members spoke one after another, all refusing the Mobile Unit's participation in the revival coin competition.
They all understood that once the wealthy Mobile Unit got involved, there would be no way for them, the Ninja Clan, to obtain a revival coin.
Therefore, there was a subtle sense of unity.
At this crucial moment,
Akimichi Torifu's expression was strange; after a light cough, he said, "According to the intelligence received from the game, the player with the greatest contribution in killing the Gran Forest [Minotaur King Sautar] this time is Hatake Kakashi of the Mobile Unit."
"According to the rules, rewards from a Konoha player's solo hunt do not need to be submitted to the family as contributions."
"For family team operations, the player with the greatest contribution in killing can choose one dropped item and pay 20% of that item's reward points to claim it."
In other words,
there was no need for competition at all; as long as Kakashi wished, this revival coin would be in the Mobile Unit's grasp.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was ashen, his fists clenched tightly beneath the conference table.
