Chapter 336
Haruto Saito trapped Koharu Utatane!
Because Koharu herself admitted that the workload was too great, it was equivalent to saying that the current administrative system of Konoha could no longer efficiently handle tax collection, necessitating a new department!
The meeting room was extremely quiet.
Everyone held their breath, wanting to refute Haruto Saito but unable to come up with a valid counterargument at the moment!
This was a formal meeting, and Hiruzen Sarutobi had made it clear that everyone was allowed to express their opinions. This allowed Haruto Saito to discuss the matter as an equal. With Hiruzen presiding, they had to argue with logic rather than relying on force or status!
In such a setting, status held no weight. Even Hiruzen Sarutobi himself was momentarily at a loss for words!
The truth was, Haruto Saito dared to speak so boldly because he had already reached an agreement with Hiruzen Sarutobi!
This was part of their deal!
Hiruzen wanted Haruto Saito to use logical reasoning to convince the other high-ranking officials in this meeting.
Thus, the new department could be established directly!
Koharu Utatane was glaring at Haruto Saito with red eyes, her expression filled with frustration. Homura Mitokado was also giving him a sideways glance. Though his face remained expressionless, Haruto could sense his hostility. As for Danzo, if looks could kill, Haruto would have been dead ten thousand times over from Danzo's glare!
