Therefore, there should be two vacant positions for elders in the village at this time.

Now, let us discuss and select two suitable elders to fill the vacancy in the position of elder.

Everyone is welcome to speak freely and share their opinions on who would be a suitable candidate.

After saying this, Fugaku looked around, waiting for the others to speak.

The scene remained completely silent. Everyone sat upright, expressionless, and no one knew what they were thinking.

In short, the atmosphere at the scene was very strange.

"Cough cough!"

Seeing this, Fugaku coughed twice and said loudly:

"Since none of you have suitable candidates, I will recommend two of you!"

After pausing for a moment, and seeing that no one raised any objections, he continued:

"I recommend Uchiha Rukawa as the first elder of Konoha."

Rukawa Uchiha not only exposed Danzo's evil deeds, but also brought this scumbag to justice.

They also eradicated the Shimura clan, removing a major scourge from Konoha.

He made significant contributions to the future development of Konoha, and his achievements can be described as outstanding.

"Such a person who has made such great contributions, I think no one would object to him serving as an elder of Konoha!"

"I object!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone raised an objection.

Upon hearing this, Fugaku frowned, thinking to himself that some reckless warrior dared to object, and immediately looked in the direction of the voice.

He looked surprised when he saw the owner of the voice.

Because it was Rukawa himself who voiced his opposition.

"Didn't I tell you before?! I have absolutely no interest in becoming an elder of Konoha!"

Besides, I'm just an observer, so you'd better not include me in your discussions!

Rukawa frowned.

"Sorry, sorry, it's my fault. I was so excited that I forgot!"

Fugaku quickly stood up and bowed to Rukawa in apology.

Everyone looked at Rukawa with complicated expressions. He didn't even care about the position of Konoha Elder?

But it makes sense, considering he's a ruthless person who can casually teach a Hokage a lesson.

The position of a mere elder seems rather insignificant.

"Since Uchiha Rukawa has declined the position of Konoha Elder, then I will recommend two new candidates!"

Fugaku straightened his clothes and said seriously:

"I recommend my eldest son, Uchiha Itachi, to serve as an elder of Konoha."

Itachi Uchiha had been a member of the Anbu for many years, and most of the missions he carried out were high-difficulty missions, all of which he failed, achieving remarkable results.

I think there shouldn't be any problem appointing such an outstanding Konoha ninja to the position of Konoha elder!

As for the second candidate, I'll shamelessly recommend myself!

During the Third Shinobi World War, I led the Uchiha clan and successfully repelled the attack of the Kirigakure army.

He created the opportunity for Konoha to defeat the other three great ninja villages. His achievements can be considered truly remarkable!

Furthermore, as the captain of the Konoha Police Force, he made significant contributions to the security of Konoha.

To allow all the common people of Konoha to live and work in peace and contentment.

Therefore, it is perfectly acceptable for me, Uchiha Fugaku, to assume the position of elder.

After finishing his speech, Fugaku paused for a moment to catch his breath before asking the others:

"Alright, these are my two recommendations. Now, who agrees and who disagrees?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained expressionless and silent, as did the others.

Since they all remained silent, Fugaku assumed they had tacitly agreed and thus decisively made the decision:

"Hmm! It seems none of you have any objections..."

"Very well, then my son Itachi Uchiha and I will take on the two elder positions in Konoha!"

"I object!"

Unable to bear Mitoka's inflammation any longer, she finally voiced her objection.

He turned to look at Fugaku and said in a deep voice:

"Fugaku, your eating manners are appalling!"

You Uchiha want the position of elder, that's fine.

But you Uchiha can only choose one person to serve as an elder!

As for the other elder position, we will need to select someone else to fill it.

At this point, Mitokado Yan glanced at Rukawa out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing that the latter was resting with his eyes closed and showed no intention of participating, he continued:

"Furthermore, if any member of your Uchiha clan is elected as an elder of Konoha, they will be required to relinquish the power of the security force!"

The security force will no longer be composed of members of the Uchiha clan!

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi frantically signaled with his eyes that Homura Mitokado should stop talking.

If I keep talking, I might get into trouble!

Mitokado saw it, but ignored it.

Having already switched into "politician mode," all sorts of verbal sparring techniques came to mind, and he simply couldn't stop.

"Although Uchiha Rukawa was commendable for exposing Danzo, the destruction caused by his battle was also enormous."

Countless buildings and houses were destroyed, and the number of casualties was incalculable.

All these factors combined have resulted in immeasurable economic losses for Konoha.

As he spoke, Mitokado kept glancing at Rukawa out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that Rukawa still didn't react at all, he became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.

"The Shimura clan's money could have been used for postwar reconstruction, but because the entire Shimura clan's land was leveled, all their assets were lost."

Therefore, the Uchiha clan will have to pay the lion's share of the funds for postwar reconstruction!

"Not much, ten billion taels will suffice!"

Mitokado slowly raised one finger.

According to Mitokado Homura, if Uchiha Fugaku wanted to become an elder of Konoha...

It would require the use of the garrison's authority, plus one billion taels of silver, in exchange.

Of course, Fugaku could not agree to such harsh conditions.

boom! !

He slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily:

"Impossible! You want the Uchiha to pay 1 billion ryo? You're dreaming!"

"Hmph! You're just daydreaming!"

"Without handing over the authority of the security force, plus one billion ryo, your Uchiha clan can forget about becoming elders of Konoha."

Mitokado Homura snorted coldly, showing no sign of backing down!

"Why?!"

Fugaku retorted, unconvinced...

"Just look at how you Uchiha people fight without any regard for your surroundings, destroying countless buildings!"

The Uchiha mentioned in the text refers to Uchiha Rukawa.

However, he still had some reservations, so he did not reveal his name directly.

Before Fugaku could retort, Mitokado Homura continued:

"Alright! I don't want to waste any more words with you. These are my two conditions. If you agree, then we can talk; if not, then there's no point in discussing it!"

"you..."

Fugaku gritted his teeth in anger, about to say something, when Rukawa, sitting in the main seat, opened his eyes and said calmly:

"Okay, I don't want to waste my breath on you..."

The Root organization invaded the Uchiha clan, causing damage to the Uchiha territory and countless losses. Konoha should compensate the Uchiha with one billion ryo.

"The two elder positions have been filled by Fugaku and Itachi respectively. Do you have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage, sitting at the lower end of the table, wanted to loudly denounce Rukawa for being shameless.

The destruction suffered by the Uchiha clan's territory.

The reason for this is the battle between Rukawa and Itachi, and it has absolutely nothing to do with Root!

But after considering the consequences of such a rebuttal, he decisively chose to keep quiet.

If you're weaker than them, just do whatever they say!

I felt extremely frustrated!

Hiruzen Sarutobi could hold back, but Homura Mitokado couldn't.

boom! !

He slammed his hand on the table and retorted loudly:

"Nonsense! The destruction of the Uchiha clan's territory is your own fault. Don't drag the Root organization into this!"

At this moment, at the negotiating table, he, as a seasoned politician, is the ultimate master.

At this table, no one is allowed to talk more nonsense than him.

"Don't even think about getting Konoha to hand over 1 billion ryo to your Uchiha clan!"

He gave a cold laugh and said sarcastically:

"And besides, didn't you say you were just here to sit in? Now you're barging in, it's really something..."

The sarcastic remarks were not yet finished.

next moment...

Snapped! !

Rukawa slapped out from a distance, unleashing an invisible gust of wind that instantly sent the opponent flying.

Bang! !

The wall was dented from the impact, and spiderweb-like cracks spread in all directions.

At the same time, Rukawa's leisurely voice came through.

"Seeing how excited you are, then the Mito clan can provide this ten billion taels!"

"Damn it! I was negotiating with you, why did you suddenly attack me?!"

Mitokado Homura, his face contorted with rage, pointed at Rukawa and demanded an explanation in a stern voice.

This is a negotiation, not a fight. How can you start a fight over a disagreement?

At this moment, he felt extremely angry, his temper flared, and his mind went blank.

He even forgot that the person opposite him was a ruthless man who dared to attack a third generation!

"You're not satisfied?! Then let's have two billion!"

Rukawa said expressionlessly.

"Get lost! I won't give you a single penny!"
