"It's a caravan responsible for purchasing on behalf of the village," the Third Hokage said vaguely.

Shigeru didn't care about this and said bluntly:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hokage. In order to collect various intelligence and protect important personnel, Anbu has suffered heavy losses since the war broke out and has not yet replenished its personnel.

"I think the village should send a certain number of ninja troops to take care of such an important matter as purchasing supplies, instead of handing over tasks to caravans. Caravans are unreliable.

"At critical times, you still need to rely on your own talents."

Are you pretending to be stupid, or do you really not know?

Akamichi Tifeng reluctantly pulled Shigeru's clothes and reminded him that the caravan responsible for purchasing supplies was jointly established by the Sarutobi and Shimura families.

That's why they could be responsible for purchasing on behalf of the village.

A caravan formed by several ninja families, responsible for purchasing under the banner of the village, was well-oiled.

Shigeru ignored Akamichi and continued:

"I don't agree with letting the caravan purchase important supplies on behalf of the village. It's better for the village to send ninja troops to take charge. As for protection, it's impossible. Anbu doesn't have enough manpower.

"Send Anbu to protect the caravans of several of your families so that your families can make money?

"Is it possible?

"If they're capable, they should do the purchasing themselves and be responsible for security issues themselves. If they're not capable, they shouldn't take the job.

"If you want to make money but don't want to take risks, do you still need someone from Anbu to protect you?

"What a big face.

"If this caravan is unreliable, then I suggest changing it as soon as possible. There are not many others in Konoha, but there are many ninja families. Select a group of ninjas from each family to come, let alone take supplies. I'm afraid the enemy will have to take a detour if they see it."

Is there something wrong?

Nothing wrong.

Hyuga, Uchiha, Inokacho, and some small and medium-sized families could each draw a few people to form a caravan that most enemies wouldn't dare to target.

Shigeru continued with his suggestions:

"For example, Uchiha, is there a shortage of strong men? No. Hyuga is lacking? No. Is it okay for these two families to draw ten Jōnin each? How about Inokacho drawing ten?

"Is there a problem?"

"..."

Seeing Shigeru's eyes sweeping over, Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha wanted to say no problem!

Especially Uchiha—not to mention ten, even twenty would be no problem!

After forming a caravan like this, who would dare to cheat or assassinate?

If the village really formed such a caravan, the selected families would laugh out loud in their dreams.

Another point is that Uchiha, Hyuga, and Inokacho have strong members, but Shimura and Sarutobi do not. In the final analysis, it's their family background that doesn't work.

Families such as Uchiha and Hyuga are strong because they were already powerful before the village was established. Their family wealth is not comparable to that of ordinary families.

When Sarutobi and Shimura founded Konoha, they were still minor clans. Even though they are now thriving with the Third Hokage's support, the number of strong ninja hasn't grown significantly in a short period.

Even though the Sarutobi clan has the most ninja among many clans, if they were to have a fight with Uchiha, they would likely be beaten soundly.

"That's it for today's meeting."

The Third Hokage didn't want to say another word. He had asked for Anbu to protect the caravan, but Shigeru brought up Uchiha and Hyuga instead. What did that mean?

Look down on Sarutobi Shimura?

The Third Hokage stood up and left, signaling the meeting was over.

Akamichi smiled bitterly and said, "Master, can I call you master? Can you always go to the front line and switch places with Tsunade? I beg you."

Akamichi Tifeng originally thought Tsunade was too tough, but when she went to the front line, he realized she wasn't tough enough!

Tsunade would at least give the Third Hokage some face.

Look at Shigeru—he slaps the table and scolds him constantly, openly undermining him without giving any face. In comparison, Tsunade seems like a saint.

Shigeru is full of thorns.

"Senior, don't make such jokes. I can't bear it," Shigeru laughed.

"I can't bear it, and you still do this? I'm almost scared to death, you know?"

Akamichi Tifeng patted his chest, his flesh jiggling, looking helpless.

Shigeru spread his hands and said seriously:

"When I was weak, I pretended to be insignificant. Now that I have confidence, should I still pretend? Then wouldn't I truly become insignificant?"

"..."

Akamichi wanted to scold him for his audacity but couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay, you're not insignificant. So, tell me, what should we do if the relationship completely breaks down?"

With Shigeru's attitude, Akamichi genuinely feared that one day the Hokage factions would come to blows.

"Then just let it break. Why endure if others make things difficult for you?" Shigeru said indifferently.

At worst, Konoha could break apart, and everyone would find peace in their own way.

Of course, this couldn't be said outright—it wouldn't be good for unity.

"You're something else. I can't deal with you," Akamichi said helplessly as he left.

Shigeru turned and looked at Hyuga Hiashi, who was still sitting in his chair. "Is there something wrong, young patriarch?"

Hyuga Hiashi wanted to discuss something but, recalling Shigeru's toughness in the meeting, swallowed his words:

"On behalf of my family, I'd like to talk to you about compensation."

"Let's talk as we walk."

Shigeru didn't refuse him, but as he walked out of the conference room, he called out to Uchiha Fugaku: "Please say hello to the old patriarch for me."

"Huh?" Uchiha Fugaku froze, nodded reflexively, but sensed something was amiss.

What did Uchiha and Shigeru have to do with each other?

Why bring this up all of a sudden?

Could it be… that he wanted to win Uchiha over?

"Thank you for your concern," Fugaku said, hiding his thoughts as he quickened his pace and left the Hokage office building. The people around him began to look at Shigeru differently.

Everyone knew the Hokage and elders had always treated Uchiha poorly, but Shigeru showing kindness at this moment—it was noteworthy.

If Tsunade's faction truly won over Uchiha, then…

Things in the village might get interesting.

There was no need to consider whether Uchiha would accept—they were eager for a supporter.

Since Senju Tobirama became the Second Hokage, Uchiha had been increasingly targeted. During the Third Hokage's tenure, things worsened, though not yet as overt as during the Nine-Tails incident.
