The title of "Ninja Hero" wasn't given for nothing.
He admitted defeat!
So after saying those words and expressing his attitude, he was the first to raise his hand.
He could pick it up and put it down.
Clearly.
He was also completely determined to thoroughly wash away the stain on his reputation this time.
At the very least.
He couldn't give the Uchiha another opportunity to exploit him.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
As Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, Torifu Koharu and Mitokado Homura, though extremely displeased, had already agreed to it, so they naturally didn't cause any trouble.
They just gave Uchiha Jin a sinister look, then quickly raised their hands.
In an instant.
The entire conference room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was stunned.
Everyone was naturally aware of the struggle between the Konoha Higher-Ups and the Uchiha.
But, today.
They had come to see the Hokage faction counterattack!
How could he admit defeat?
Everyone was unable to understand, not knowing what Sarutobi Hiruzen was doing.
Although the Uchiha's actions this time were a bit strange, it was still far from the point of admitting defeat, right?
At the very least.
In the eyes of these Ninja Clans, they were far from running out of options.
Although it would be troublesome to resolve, there were actually many solutions.
So, why?
Everyone was a bit confused.
"What is Lord Hokage doing?"
"This, I don't understand!"
"Anyway, I think there's something more to this."
"I think so too, the Hokage must be planning something."
"Forget it, why bother with so much?"
"Exactly, it has nothing to do with us."
"Since Lord Hokage has raised his hand, it seems he's serious this time, so we just need to support him, right?"
"Whatever Lord Hokage wants to do, that's the Uchiha's concern."
"..."
Everyone whispered among themselves.
But, similarly.
Just as they discussed, no matter what Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to do, it had nothing to do with them.
The ones who truly needed to think were the Uchiha Clan.
So, without hesitation.
Everyone raised their hands in agreement, although other departments' budgets would be a bit less today.
--- Requesting fresh flowers --- But just as the Hokage said, they owed the Uchiha too much for too many years.
Making up for three years' worth all at once really wasn't much.
In fact, one could say this amount was quite small.
Since that was the case, there was nothing more to say.
The speed was very fast!
Seeing that everyone had raised their hands, Sarutobi Hiruzen automatically ignored the Uchiha.
Seeing this scene, he immediately spoke.
"Good, the proposal is passed."
"The Police Force can go directly to the Finance Department for the money later."
"But since the funding issue has been resolved, regarding the villagers' unrest, I hope the Police Force can resolve it within a week."
"Alright, dismissed!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was calm.
After thoroughly settling the matter, he didn't say any more unnecessary words and directly got up and left the conference hall.
Torifu Koharu and Mitokado Homura naturally didn't linger either.
In the blink of an eye.
As the Hokage and the Elders left, their Ninja Clans naturally began to whisper.
Then, they looked towards the Uchiha.
Their gazes were even more filled with strangeness!
Everyone was thinking.
However, considering that the Uchiha seemed a bit off mentally, everyone didn't chat much, but rather left in twos and threes.
Clearly.
They needed to find a quiet place to properly discuss this matter.
Almost in the blink of an eye...
The entire conference room began to become empty.
Only the Uchiha remained.
However, at this moment, the Uchiha members couldn't help but furrow their brows slightly, and each of them began to ponder.
Yes.
They were arrogant and proud, but they were definitely not stupid!
After all, with the current situation, any normal person could see that something was amiss.
"Lord, what's going on?"
"Is the Hokage crazy? He just admitted defeat without even resisting?"
"I still feel a bit unreal, did we just win like that?"
"You idiot, are you too stupid?"
"Exactly, even I can see that this matter is strange in every way!"
"This is too abnormal!"
"I think there's definitely a conspiracy, but what it is exactly, I can't figure it out yet."
"You need to say that? Who can't see it?"
"..."
The Uchiha members discussed animatedly.
Clearly.
Even they had noticed the strangeness of today's event.
However, in the end.
They still couldn't come up with a conclusion, and naturally could only look towards Uchiha Jin.
After all.
Within the current Uchiha Clan, regardless of whether everyone had pledged allegiance to Uchiha Jin, one thing was unanimously acknowledged by everyone.
That was, in terms of intelligence, Uchiha Jin was the most formidable.
So for such incomprehensible matters, everyone naturally looked to him.
