Chapter 352
Hokage Building, Hokage's Office!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two figures appeared simultaneously in front of the desk—White Fang and Haruto Saito!
"Sensei, you called for me!" Haruto said, glancing at Sarutobi Hiruzen's side, where Danzo stood.
Sarutobi usually met with Haruto alone. It was rare for Danzo to be present as well, which meant that this was an important matter.
"Haruto, take a look at this!" Sarutobi Hiruzen tossed a scroll to him.
Haruto picked it up and quickly scanned through it.
To his surprise, this wasn't a mission briefing but a financial report from the Treasury Department. It detailed the total revenue of Konoha over the past three months, including tax income and grants from the Daimyo's office, as well as the military expenditures.
In summary, Konoha's financial situation was severely imbalanced.
The fiscal deficit was enormous!
"Sensei, what is this supposed to mean?" Haruto asked after reading through the report. If the Treasury Minister weren't Mitokado Homura, he would have suspected that Sarutobi Hiruzen was planning to transfer him there to sort out the finances.
