84: Should ask Kiyomi to do this often in future meetings

Although Kiyomi was still insulting the great elders no one dared to reprimand her. They saw the horror of her Mangekyou Sharingan as she trapped the great elder into a genjutsu. The great elder couldn’t even resist as he was helpless against her.

What greatly made them fear her the most was how she managed to win over Fugaku. They all saw that in that clash of aura, Fugaku lost miserably like how the great elder did. And Fugaku as the clan leader is the strongest of them all. So if she managed to defeat him wouldn’t that mean she is much stronger than him?

“ Coming back to the topic at hand I have many reasons to sell those rights as this is the best outcome for the village. “ Fugaku said as he decided to not bother with Kiyomi anymore.

“ Firstly we are short-staffed and due to this many of our clan members were overworked. “ Fugaku began his explanation. Although the police department is handled by the Uchiha clan not everyone can become a part of it.

The basic requirement for one to join the police department is at least have the rank of chunin. Otherwise, the whole department would be flooded with people who only have the rank of gennin. After all, why should they go out and do missions while risking their own life when you could just join the police department?

“Secondly, due to the police department having solely Uchiha clan members, the clan has gotten more and more negative reputation. It has been affecting our family businesses. And if this went on those businesses would go bankrupt. “ Fugaku stated.

Hearing this, many Uchiha clan members clenched their fists. This is the ugly truth everyone was purposely avoiding. At first, things were not that serious but after the nine-tails incident things went downhill.

“ And the third and last reason is because of the deal I made with Lady Izanami, “ Fugaku said, surprising everyone. They didn't expect that.

“ As you all may already be aware, we are currently very tight on our finances because of the amount of debt we are paying to the World Bank.

And with our family businesses are no longer able to earn enough to pay that amount. So that is why Lady Izanami proposed this idea one year ago.

If our family businesses are suffering huge losses every year due to the negative impact the police department has then we would have to sell the rights to the World Bank and they would buy these rights in exchange for 10% of our total debt. “ Fugaku finished his explanation.

Many clan members had various reactions to this. Some were nodding in agreement while some were very dissatisfied. The most dissatisfied were the elders who belonged to the hawk faction.

But despite their dissatisfaction, they didn't argue back. Everyone who isn't a fool could see that Izanami was giving them a favor.

“Good since we all came to an agreement let’s go into the next subject. Who amongst you would volunteer to protect the auction house next week? They have asked for at least fifty personnel. “ Fugaku said as he ignored the disbelieving looks from the rest of the clan members. He knew if it wasn’t for Kiyomi scaring the shit out of these guys they would argue with other for the next few days without arriving at a decision.

So when his daughter made his work easy why should ignore her help and complicate things? No one likes to work overtime after all.

With that, the meeting went on for the next 2 or 3 hours. During the whole meeting, the clan members felt their whole worldview change as they finally realized how shameless a clan leader could be.

Since the elders were still too scared to show any opposition he changed many old rules that were unchanged due to the old geezers refusing to change. Of course, Fugaku kept the changes to a minimum since even he didn’t dare to push his luck too much and face a backlash afterward. After all, who knows whether these old geezers may get too angry and go insane.

‘Should ask Kiyomi to do this often in future meetings ‘ Fugaku thought as he pondered this very seriously.
