Chapter 244：

The number of honorary elders remains unchanged. The Third Hokage was taken from the hands of a certain small ninja clan.

As for whether the Third Hokage was taking advantage of others or exchanging benefits, no one knows.

This is a sensitive period, and everyone knows exactly what the Third Hokage is worried about.

Everyone also wants to know what Natsuki Uchiha is thinking now.

The elders entered slowly, and everyone was staring at the seat belonging to Uchiha, where there were two empty stools.

The Third Hokage also sat at the top.

He wanted to see if Uchiha was coming or not.

This is very important for how to face Uchiha in the future.

When the time was almost up, an ANBU came and whispered something to the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage nodded and waved the ANBU down.

After that, the third generation looked at the door, and other ninjas were also guessing whether someone from Uchiha had arrived.

Sure enough, not long after, Natsuki and Fugaku arrived at the conference room.

Moreover, Fugaku had his eyes closed, and Natsuki led him to the conference room and sat down.

This is the first time Fugaku has appeared in public since the Uchiha clan was attacked.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to his closed eyes.

There are no eyeballs in Fugaku's eyes, so his eyelids are sunken, which looks a bit scary.

All the elders had various thoughts in their hearts, but there was no trace of them on their faces.

After Fugaku sat down, Natsuki said to everyone present:

"I'm sorry everyone, Elder Fugaku came a little late because of an eye injury."

Then Natsuki and Hiashi from Hinata's family almost nodded as a greeting.

Many elders said politely:

"Elder Xia Mu is too polite. You came at just the right time. It's just that we came early."

Xia Mu casually exchanged polite words with some elders, and then sat down.

This is the first time Uchiha has entered Konoha's leadership meeting.

But there were only some small ripples in Fugaku's heart.

He quickly calmed down.

For him, the current Konoha high-level meeting is no longer what he desires.

For Xia Mu, attending high-level meetings is just a means.

Not the end result he wanted.

So when Xia Mu came here, he didn't have any big emotions.

The eyes of some elders would inadvertently glance over Fugaku's sunken eyes, their eyes flickering, not knowing what they were thinking.

The Third Hokage took his pipe and knocked it on the table.

The entire conference room quickly became quiet.

The third generation spoke first:

"First of all, the first thing to be discussed in this meeting is the war between Kumogakure and Kirigakure."

"About the direction of the war and what we in Konoha need to do to deal with it."

All the elders looked at Uchiha Natsuki. After all, this was Uchiha's first time here.

See what Uchiha means.

The blind Fugaku came here just to show his attitude, and at other times he would just act as a mascot.

Xiamu stood up slowly:

"I think the war between Kumogakure and Kirigakure will last a long time."

"The scale of Kumogakure's invasion is very large. The two jinchūriki and the Raikage have rushed to the front line. Their plans are huge."

"Judging from Kirigakure's current state of resistance, there is probably something wrong with their jinchūriki."

"If Kirigakure loses too many people in the first wave of Kumogakure's offensive, they will probably break into pieces and start a guerrilla war with Kumogakure."

"It is not yet known to what extent Kirigakure and Kumogakure will fight."

"But Kirigakure will definitely not sit still and wait for death. Now every ninja village is preparing for war."

"I think we in Konoha should not let people from Iwagakure cross the border. We should wait until the situation of the war becomes clear before making a decision."

"So we Uchiha have sent corresponding personnel to block Iwakaku back on the Shikoku Expressway."

"We in Konoha should actively prepare for war to prevent us from being caught off guard later."

Natsuki said a lot eloquently.

It seemed like he was analyzing the situation for Konoha, but in fact, it was all Cha Lulu's talk.

To sum it up in two sentences.

We Uchiha and Kumogakure have reached a cooperation, and now we cannot let Iwagakure go and fight Kumogakure.

The elders looked at each other, then looked at the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage thought for a moment.

It was already a fact that Xia Mu blocked Yan Yin. Xia Mu came to the meeting to speak for the first time, and he did not mean to refute him.

"The current situation of Kumogakure and Kirigakure is still unclear. We will make plans after Kumogakure's large forces land."

Natsuki then sat down.

In the following time, other elders expressed some opinions on this war.

Xiaochun, who is in charge of medical care, said that he would stock up on some medical materials in case they were not enough during the war.

Hyuga of the Guards, what kind of personnel mobilization is needed, and if the war breaks out, the way the barrier operates will change.

In short, they are mobilizing around this war.

Xia Mu never stood up to speak again, because he knew that this war would end soon.

He came today for other purposes.

Finally, the boring half hour passed.

It’s time for free proposals.

Generally speaking, this time is the exchange of some interests in the village.

Xia Mu, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up directly.

Everyone stared at it.

Xia Mu took out a notebook from his body and said:

"I suggest that the Nara clan's deer farm should be doubled to breed more deer and provide us with more antlers for Konoha."

The current Nara clan is headed by Shikaku, but the elders are not Shikaku.

It was an elder of the Nara family named Nara Shikago.

Shikago is already quite old, and his hair style is exactly the same as Shikamaru Shikaku's, except for the gray hair on his temples.

As one of the elder families who joined Konoha during the early days of the Fire Nation.

They are usually a bit low-key, and the members have very high IQs.

Their family's responsibilities and division of labor are very clear, so in meetings in Konoha, they rarely need to speak.

Luhe had been closing his eyes to rest, but after hearing this, he slowly opened his eyes.

He said slowly:

"The deer antlers in the village are enough for the time being. Expanding the deer farm rashly will incur unnecessary expenses."

Xia Mu nodded:

"We Uchiha have entered Konoha's high-level for the first time, and we want to make some contributions to Konoha."

"so…"

…

Chapter 296 Throwing Coins

Konoha high-level meeting.

"So we chose to fund the expansion of the deer farm for the Nara family."

"When the expansion is completed, some medicinal materials need to be reserved for us, the Uchiha clan, in priority."

Many elders were in an uproar after hearing this. Expanding the deer farm was not something that could just be done by just enclosing a piece of land.

In terms of manpower, more people are needed, and in terms of material resources, more fodder is needed.

The Nara family has been raising deer for generations, and the antlers and related medicinal materials are an integral part of the entire Konoha medical system.

It also takes into account the maintenance of the medical system.

Therefore, the Nara clan's status in Konoha has always been as stable as Mount Tai.

Unexpectedly, Uchiha said he wanted to invest as soon as he arrived.

In the end, all that was exchanged was the priority supply of some medicinal materials, which was simply free money.

It's like telling a fruit seller, I'll double the size of your store, and you'll have priority in selling my fruit from now on.

Shikawa narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage did not expect Natsuki to suddenly make this move and frowned.

Luhe said in a calm voice: "This matter is of great importance. I need to go back to the clan to discuss it."

Xiamu didn't care about Luhe's procrastination technique either.

He took out a pen and drew on the notebook, then continued.

"We, the Uchiha clan, are willing to invest in the Akimichi clan and increase the development of secret medicine."

"Strive to allow ordinary ninjas to take it, thereby reducing the probability of ninja casualties...

"We, the Uchiha clan, are willing to invest in the Yamanaka clan and increase the development and application of secret techniques so that we can better serve the battle..."

"We, the Uchiha clan, are willing to invest..."

Xia Mu then read the names of twenty or thirty families eloquently.

In Konoha, except for the Sarutobi, Shimura, Tenjin, and Mitomon families.

All other famous families in Konoha were named.

The Hyuga clan didn't mention it either, because Natsuki had already given away the money before.

The Aburame family invested money in raising insects for them.

Inuzuka invested money to raise dogs for them.

Even Yuhi Hong, who was the only one left, invested money in it, and the reason was to study genjutsu.

The Hatake clan was obviously from a single lineage, but Natsuki still invested money in it, and the reason was to study swordsmanship.

In short, Xia Mu was throwing money around like crazy.

The excitement soared into the sky. The investment he mentioned would cost at least two billion.

Many ninjas were shocked by Natsuki's aura.

Everyone was wondering how much money Uchiha had earned over the years.

The Third Hokage was numb. He had thought that Uchiha might save the country through a curve.

After making money, he bribed the major ninja clans in Konoha.

I didn't expect Uchiha to be so direct and throw money at me.
