Chapter 25 I will pay...100 million

"Just...is 50 million enough? Do you want to add more?"

  There must be brave men under heavy rewards.

  A higher bounty can attract strong men to come to Konoha faster to kill Uchiha Fugaku.

  During the years he became Hokage, he also had several small treasury on hand.

  It is very easy to increase this bounty to another ten or twenty million.

  As long as Uchiha Fugaku doesn't die, God knows how many more troubles this guy can cause him.

  Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and decided to increase the bounty to 70 million.

  This amount is enough to make those shadow-level experts excited.

  Sarutobi Hiruzen left the Hokage Tower and walked towards the location of the Hatake family.

  It was impossible for him to have direct contact with Uchiha Fugaku.

  The Sarutobi family and the Uchiha family need a family of their own.

  The Hatake family, which is now on good terms with the Uchiha family, is the most suitable candidate.

  He can use independent law enforcement powers.

  It's just a stopgap measure anyway.

As long as Uchiha Fugaku dies, he has plenty of ways to get his independent law enforcement rights back.

  Not just independent law enforcement powers, but also owned by the Uchiha family.

  He won't let it go.

  Of course, he would not do anything rude to Uchiha Fugaku's body.

  After all, the other party is a candidate that I rarely identify with in these years.

  If it weren't for the fact that the other person was from the Uchiha family, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that the two of them would become very good friends.

  After all, there are not many smart people like them in this world.

  ...

  "Konoha's independent law enforcement power?"

  Uchiha Fugaku looked at Hatake Fūo, the leader of the Hatake family.

  A middle-aged ninja in his forties, dressed in white, with a friendly smile on his face, and some vicissitudes of life and maturity in his eyes.

In appearance, he looks somewhat similar to Hatake Saun and Hatake Kakashi.

  He is Sagumo Hatake's biological brother and Kakashi's uncle.

  "That's right!"

  Hatake Sano nodded. He didn't expect that Sarutobi Hiruzen would let him be the middleman.

  "I am only responsible for delivering the news to you. As for whether you accept it or not, I have no opinion."

  Hatake Sano added.

  The Hatake family has always had friction with the Sarutobi family because of Hatake Sagumo.

  But Kakashi Hatake is also a serving captain of the Anbu, and the relationship between the two parties has not reached the point of breaking up.

  Even so, he didn't have a good impression of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

  It is precisely because of this that he will vigorously promote the alliance with the Uchiha family.

  Uchiha Fugaku was a fox, but Sarutobi Hiruzen was a greedy wolf.

  He knew very well who to form an alliance with was more beneficial to the Hatake family.

  "Excuse me, Chief Hatake!"

  Uchiha Fugaku said with a slight bow to Hatake Sano.

Although the Hatake family is now in decline, there are many talents like Hatake Kakashi among the family's children.

  One of Hatake Kakashi's eyes comes from Uchiha Obito. At this moment, Uchiha Obito becomes Uchiha Madara and secretly controls the Akatsuki organization.

  He also used genjutsu to control the fourth generation Mizukage Yagura of the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki for many years, becoming the de facto ruler of Kirigakure Village.

  The Nine-Tails Incident in the past was that Obito killed many ninjas present in a sneak attack when the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Kushina was about to give birth, and used the Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails to break the seal.

  It was he who controlled the Kyuubi to wreak havoc in Konoha, which ultimately led to Namikaze Minato having to use the Ghoul Seal to seal the Kyuubi's negative chakra, and then seal the positive chakra and Kushina's remaining chakra in Naruto's body , making him the new Nine-Tails Human Pillar.

  The current Uchiha Obito has definitely opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and has strength above the shadow level. Because of the influence of Obito's Sharingan, Kakashi's Sharingan also became the Mangekyō Sharingan at the same time.

Kakashi, whose one eye became the Mangekyō Sharingan, definitely has shadow-level combat power, but he always thought that it was because of his father's death, and he was still worried about Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he was unwilling to show his true strength.

  Uchiha Fugaku also wanted to use cooperation with the Hatake family to draw closer the relationship between himself and Kakashi.

  Hatake Kakashi is a genius ninja who became a Jonin at the age of only 12 years old. Even without Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan, he still has the qualifications to become a shadow-level powerhouse.

  Such a genius is worth making friends with.

  Uchiha Fugaku is destined to become Hokage in the future, and he should value more than just the Uchiha family.

  All of Konoha should be his concern.

  "You can tell Sarutobi Hiruzen that I accept his suggestion.

  As long as the Anbu voluntarily give up their law enforcement rights, I can ask the police force to give up the pursuit of that matter."

  Uchiha Fugaku said with a smile.

  I was not prepared to pursue this matter to the end. This is unrealistic.

Doing so would only cause the atmosphere between him and the forces headed by Sarutobi Hiruzen to become increasingly tense, and they would eventually have to meet in advance.

  This went against his plan to gradually divide and erode the forces around people like Sarutobi Hiruzen, and finally eliminate Sarutobi Hiruzen with a final word.

  If the war starts now, the Uchiha family will have to face many unnecessary enemies.

  In addition to several mortal enemies such as the Sarutobi family and the Shimura family, even the Anbu of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the roots of Shimura Danzo's men are forces he must fight for.

  He must try his best to control Konoha's internal conflict within a smaller scope, so as not to damage Konoha's muscles and bones.

  He didn't want to inherit a mess when he became Hokage.

  Besides, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been causing the Uchiha family to panic all these years.

  He also had to let Hiruzen Sarutobi experience the inner fear, anxiety and helplessness that the original had.

  Death is what Hiruzen Sarutobi must experience. This is the retribution he deserves for his many years of evil deeds.

But before that, he would make Sarutobi Hiruzen completely lose his fighting spirit in his actions again and again, and he would feel the decline of the power in his hands bit by bit.

  It was still early, there was still time to play the game, and he had enough patience.

  Uchiha Fugaku's words made Hatake Sano frown.

  He also did not expect that Uchiha Fugaku would accept Sarutobi Hiruzen's trade request.

  What is this man who has been hiding his true face thinking about?

  Hatake Sano could not see through Uchiha Fugaku more and more.

  No wonder Uchiha Fugaku could deceive the entire Konoha for decades. He is indeed not as good as Uchiha Fugaku.

  Could it be that the Uchiha family is going to produce another Uchiha Madara?

  ...

  The extremely anxious Sarutobi Hiruzen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he received the news sent by Hatake Sano.

  What he was most worried about was that Uchiha Fugaku was clinging to his weak point and chasing him with all his strength.

  This meant that he had to watch his character collapse a little bit, and had to use his power in advance to fight Uchiha Fugaku in a decisive battle.

  It is very irrational to do this before clearly seeing Uchiha Fugaku's trump card.

  And to launch such a large-scale civil war at this time, Konoha Village is likely to be severely damaged.
