Chapter 156 Public Opinion Subsides? It Continues to Expand!
Tsunade went to the police department's director's office and found Yuuki playing with insects: "The old man's idea is to minimize violent conflicts and focus on fines!"
“Understood!” Yuuki nodded thoughtfully. “Regarding the intensity of law enforcement, the Uchiha clan and the police force members have a consistent and clear attitude!”
Tsunade sensed something was off, but didn't take it seriously.
She excitedly returned to her laboratory!
Several new medical ninjutsu techniques are almost finished being researched!
If things go as expected, her combat ability will be elevated to a whole new level!
No more feeling so helpless when facing Hanzo the Salamander!
We'll definitely catch up with that brat!
After watching Tsunade leave, Yuuki stealthily found the nobles.
A new instruction has been introduced.
"Isn't the war of information a war in itself?"
The opening of the new map for the psychic realm may lie in this war of words.
...
That day, the police department indeed reduced its enforcement efforts significantly.
If you can avoid arresting someone, then do so; if you can impose a fine, then do so.
Uchiha's change in attitude naturally attracted heated discussions among the villagers.
I don't know where this rumor came from.
The police department backed down entirely because of the Hokage!
The wise Hokage discovered the excessive enforcement of the law within the village and issued a stern warning to the Uchiha clan.
The news spread among the villagers in such a detailed and believable manner that it seemed like the truth.
Now, the villagers, who were initially worried that discussing the police department and the Uchiha clan would implicate them, have become much less hesitant.
"Do you think I can go to the police department and get back the fine I was fined when I opened the shop?"
"Are you crazy? Would you let your guests vomit up the food they've already eaten?"
"Isn't this because the Hokage is backing us up?"
Even though most of the villagers had never seen Hiruzen Sarutobi, they still had great faith in the great Hokage.
The Hokage is omnipotent!
No matter if they are deceived, arrested, or punished... it's as if the Hokage can save them all, or should save them all.
As night fell, the two men, both having lost their elder positions, met and exchanged information in a secret chamber at the Root base.
"Koharu! You're the one who incited public opinion to attack the Uchiha clan, aren't you?" Shimura Danzo asked first.
"How did you know? I didn't tell anyone," Xiaochun, who was turning over a new room, couldn't help but ask.
Danzo Shimura scoffed, "Once it's done, there's no absolute way to disappear... Wait, you didn't tell anyone, so who spread the rumor?"
Koharu, the girl in the dorm, was taken aback: "Of course, it's a ninja..."
Danzo Shimura's expression underwent a long-absent change of expression: "Not telling anyone, you mean—not even telling the monkey?"
Xiaochun, who was turning over to her dorm, nodded with a grim expression.
Danzo Shimura lowered his head, pondering whether he should continue cooperating with this foolish woman.
The elaborate schemes of a villain are no match for the quick wit of a fool!
Whenever he dealt with dirty business in the village, he would use various hints to inform the monkeys of the simple situation.
On the one hand, it's about how much contribution one makes.
On the other hand, it prepares the monkeys mentally and provides a safety net for potential troubles.
You, on the other hand, don't say anything and just bury yourself in your work!
madness!
If a problem does occur, how can it be resolved?
Danzo Shimura patiently asked, "What major event has happened in the village recently?"
Koharu Utatane recounted all the information, including the alliance between the Senju and Uchiha clans, the rise of the police department, and Uchiha Yuuki's Sharingan.
Upon hearing the word "Sharingan," Danzo Shimura subconsciously touched his injured eye, a greedy glint appearing in his single eye.
"Hmph, Uchiha Yuuki, as expected of a born evil brat, has finally revealed his true colors!"
“That’s right!” Koharu Tsurugi chimed in, “Why does he suppress merchants and charge exorbitant fines? Many nobles are very dissatisfied with the police department!”
My money! My relationships!
The evil police department!
“There’s no room for compromise now.” Shimura Danzo’s one eye flashed with a sharp light as he looked at Utatane Koharu: “Next, we need you to continue spreading the word!”
"Alright, the Uchiha shouldn't touch resources that don't belong to them. They must pay the price!!"
When Shimura Danzo saw Koharu Utatane, who immediately agreed, he looked at her as if she were a dead person.
The village was in the midst of war, and there was no consideration for the greater good; it was all driven by personal vengeance!
This compromised the safety of the village!
Perhaps we could find a way to get Koharu and Uchiha Yuuki to go to the Pure Land together.
The Mangekyou Sharingan can only be used to its fullest potential in my hands!
Only when villages face war can they play a more effective role!
Everything for the village!
...
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the intelligence report in his hand, his brows furrowed.
He was pleased with the police department's performance, but the public opinion was not suppressed; on the contrary, it intensified.
It even got linked to him, the Hokage.
This is not a problem.
The bigger problem is that prices are skyrocketing!
"In just three days, the price of rice and flour, essential for villagers' food, has increased by at least 50%, and the upward trend has not yet slowed down!"
"Ordering the police department to suspend arrests has only made things worse!?"
