Chapter 42 : Allowance??
"Lord Hokage spoke on our behalf and rejected that merchant's claim for twenty thousand ryo!"
When the ninja with dark circles said this, Uchiha Fugaku visibly relaxed. It seemed that the Third Hokage still supported the Uchiha clan and understood their current difficulties.
But what the ninja said next made Fugaku feel like he was falling into an ice pit: "However, he has asked us to pay ten thousand ryo!"
Ten thousand ryo?
Uchiha Fugaku, who had just relaxed, almost collapsed. The Third Hokage was really thinking of himself, not the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Fugaku felt that ever since they had given up half of the Police Force, their clan's situation in the village had become even harder.
What's the reason?
It's all Uchiha Kinya's fault. Otherwise, the Police Force wouldn't be in such a dire state.
"Clan Leader, Lord Hokage said to deduct it from our salaries!"
The ninja with dark circles, feeling a bit anxious about Fugaku's somewhat wry expression, reminded him, "We've had thirty-eight thousand ryo deducted from our salaries over the past ten days due to various reasons. Our remaining salary for this month is only twelve thousand ryo, but we still owe those thugs sixty-five thousand ryo!"
The Police Force is in such a tough spot. Their workload has increased many times over, yet their salary has decreased compared to before.
