Sarutobi Hiruzen issued an order to expel Lin Yan, obviously to continue discussing with Uchiha Fugaku a solution to the crisis.

But Lin Yan had no intention of leaving at this time.

Now that we're here, let's take a closer look at how this matter will develop.

Lin Yan thought and smiled slightly.

"Can I stay?"

He looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, but pointed at Uchiha Fugaku.

This request surprised everyone present.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes moved slightly and asked curiously: "Why?"

"This should be the leader of the Uchiha clan, right?"

"I have heard a little bit about what happened between your Uchiha clan and Konoha, but I don't know much about it."

"Sometimes, the whole picture is unknown, and hearsay can easily lead to misunderstandings, and I am usually quite curious."

"Considering that it would be rude to you Konoha Village or the Uchiha clan to inquire about information secretly, I'll just sit here and listen."

"Third Hokage-sama, you won't refuse my request, right?"

After Lin Yan finished speaking, he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a half-smile.

He explained his purpose so directly, with a gentle smile on his face.

It's really hard to resist.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen is not a newbie, he is a veteran.

At this time, he responded calmly: "You are from another village, not a villager of Konoha. According to our rules, we should not tell you these internal matters."

"However, since you are interested and want to know more, then just stay."

After speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his pipe and took a puff silently.

His behavior of making decisions without consulting Uchiha Fugaku made Uchiha Fugaku feel that his dignity was offended.

A feeling of displeasure arose in my heart.

But what was even more surprising than Uchiha Fugaku's displeasure was that at this moment Lin Yan actually turned around and walked towards the sofa area.

Then, he casually sat down in the seat between Shimura Danzō and Mitokado Homura.

This behavior of not treating himself as an outsider, and even treating himself as a master, immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.

Both consultants frowned at the same time.

However, Shimura Danzō, who was very deep in the city, did not react at all at this moment, as if he did not notice Lin Yan's existence.

In fact, Danzo is harboring evil intentions at this moment.

He heard clearly just now, Lin Yan and Might Guy were fighting each other, and the battle between the two caused the earth-shattering commotion just now.

Might Guy was seriously injured as a result and fell into a coma.

However, Lin Yan was unscathed.

The reason why he can do this is obviously because of his great strength.

Marine Six Styles, or Conqueror's Haki, or some other ability.

No matter what, the man in front of him has already become one of Konoha's top-notch combat powers.

And what's even better is that he is a mercenary, part of the Konoha Foreign Legion.

Maybe I can make use of such talents in the future.

Therefore, Shimura Danzō did not show the slightest dissatisfaction with Lin Yan's behavior at this moment.

Someone with the same mentality as Danzo, of course, is Sarutobi Hiruzen.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, although he was shocked by Lin Yan's behavior, he didn't say much.

Strictly speaking, Lin Yan is not his subordinate and does not need to be bound by the rules of Konoha Village.

Taking a step back, it is not convenient for me to criticize Lin Yan's lack of discipline in front of so many people.

Seeing that neither the two major advisors, Shimura Danzō or Sarutobi Hiruzen, showed any intention to stop Lin Yan's behavior.

Itachi and Shisui remained silent.

Uchiha Fugaku, on the other hand, looked at Lin Yan sitting carelessly among the elders' seats, looking naturally at ease.

He became even more curious about this man.

"What did we talk about just now?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of smoke from his pipe and asked.

His voice interrupted Uchiha Fugaku's thoughts and brought Uchiha Fugaku back to his senses.

"You mentioned that the Daimyo of the Fire Country promised to provide funds to our Uchiha clan to help us resolve the conflicts with the villagers."

"But we don't have an accurate figure yet for the specific amount of compensation..."

"Third Generation-sama, it will depend on how much money the daimyo allocates to us."

Uchiha Fugaku replied.

"The amount of this low-interest loan will be very high. You can rest assured that it will be enough to cover the compensation conditions for the injured villagers."

"But now there is a problem that needs to be solved."

"Fugaku, are your people still unwilling to publicly apologize to the villagers? This is a very important matter. If this problem cannot be solved, then no matter how much financial support we provide you, it will not help."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly.

These words made the two people present, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, feel their hearts sink.

It's like a big stone is weighing on my heart.

And Uchiha Fugaku's expression became much more serious.

"I will go back and do some ideological work for everyone."

Uchiha Fugaku responded.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said slowly: "Fugaku, this time we went to the Fire Country Daimyo Prefecture and secured some practical benefits for your Uchiha clan."

"The security force has paid a lot for Konoha over the years, but your salary has not changed much."

"Now, the Daimyo has decided to comprehensively increase the salary and benefits of the Uchiha Guard Force starting next month."

"The basic salary of each member of the security force will be increased by 50% on the original basis. In addition, some long-term subsidies will be added appropriately based on seniority and members who have made important contributions to Konoha and the Uchiha security force. .”

"The basic salary of this group of members will also be appropriately higher than that of others."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words made Uchiha Fugaku slightly stunned.

Although he had already learned the news from his son Itachi in advance.

But hearing these words at this moment, coming from Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth, is a different feeling.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Itachi in surprise, then at Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other senior executives.

"Third Generation-sama, are you serious?"

Uchiha Fugaku was still worried just now, wondering how he should persuade the tribesmen to accept the conditions offered by the village and publicly apologize to the villagers.

But now, he saw a glimmer of hope.

If we can make use of this good news and make that request to the tribesmen, then maybe it is really possible to solve the crisis.
