84: Should ask Kiyomi to do this often in future etings
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 an 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 outco 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 mbers were overworked. “ Fugaku began his explanation. Although the police departnt is handled by the Uchiha clan not everyone can beco a part of it.
The basic requirent for one to join the police departnt is at least have the rank of chunin. Otherwise, the whole departnt 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 departnt?
“Secondly, due to the police departnt having solely Uchiha clan mbers, 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 mbers 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 departnt 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 mbers had various reactions to this. So were nodding in agreent while so 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.
Even 10% of the debt is a very large amount of money. And even if the rights were auctioned off they couldn't earn that much money since unlike in the past most clans are still suffering from the aftermath of the third great ninja war and the nine-tails attack.
So Izanami giving them this chance is sothing they were very grateful for. And besides the rights they were selling were to authority to recruit new mbers.
And even then these recruits would still have to listen to the old squad captains who are still Uchiha clan mbers.
So if you look closely you could see that this deal isn't bad for the clan as they still hold the authority over the police departnt. It's just now they would have to share the police departnt with other clans.
This could even be considered a win as this would allow the other villages to work alongside Uchiha clan mbers.
But although there are nurous advantages there is the reason why this topic has never been approved or brought to the clan etings.
It is because most clan mbers, especially the elders have the mindset that the police departnt belongs to them and them only. They have the sa ntality as so old grandpas who refused to try using a telephone because there was a rumor saying that the enemy nation could be using it to spy on them.
“Patriarch this ..” one of the older elders wanted to protest but he was quickly silenced when soone else spoke.
“It’s a nice proposal right “ Kiyomi asked as she looked at the elder who was about to protest. She had a sweet smile on her face that made the elder break into a cold sweat.
“Yes, it’s as Lady Kiyomi said the proposal is wonderful. I wanted to thank the clan leader for thinking of such a thod to help our clan in such dire situations. “ the elder quickly said as he began to ring complints after complints about how great this proposal is.
“That’s wonderful I knew the elder was a wise man indeed, “ Kiyomi said with an innocent smile as if she didn’t scare the poor guy to death.
“So anyone else who wants to express their opinion “ she asked as she gazed at the crowd while still having her sweet smile.
The rest of the elders shook their heads vigorously. They didn’t dare to speak. Although they have their own pride no one is suicidal. Especially after seeing the state the great elder was in a few minutes ago.
“Good since we all ca to an agreent 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 mbers. 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 overti after all.
With that, the eting went on for the next 2 or 3 hours. During the whole eting, the clan mbers felt their whole worldview change as they finally realized how shaless 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 etings ‘ Fugaku thought as he pondered this very seriously.
