Chapter 47: INAZ - 46

Divide and conquer! Yes, this was Hiruzen Sarutobi's current thinking. As long as the respective security responsibilities were dispersed, for example, using the Hyūga clan to be responsible for the Uchiha clan's security, while the Uchiha clan was responsible for the Sarutobi clan's security, and the Sarutobi clan was responsible for the Shimura clan's security...
Only such an unrelated chain could disperse the power and obligations of the Konoha Military Police Force!
"Ahem, since everyone has this intention, then let me say a few words," Thinking this, Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed twice, calming down the heated arguments below. The Hokage had spoken, and the heads of the other clans all shut their mouths and stopped talking.
"Since everyone intends to assist with the vacancy in the Uchiha clan's Konoha Military Police Force positions, then I can't refuse others either. It's just regarding the division of security rights and territories, I do have some suggestions here. Of course, they are just suggestions," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile. Although he said suggestions, if you didn't listen... Did you really think the 'Strongest' Hokage was a vegetarian?
"Lord Hokage, our Shimura clan applies to join the Konoha Military Police Force and can undertake the security work for our Shimura clan's residential area." Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, the current head of the Shimura clan, Takumi Shimura, impatiently stood up.
Seeing his clansman acting like such a conspicuous target, Danzō's face immediately darkened. He knew his old partner too well; showing this kind of expression at this time was all too familiar. Hiruzen Sarutobi at this moment wasn't showing anything good.
"Oh? Clan Head Shimura intends to help the Uchiha clan?" Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes, looking at Takumi Shimura. Meanwhile, Fugaku Uchiha beside him watched everything with a smile. This development was exactly the same as what Shinji had predicted earlier. Thinking of this, Fugaku Uchiha regarded Shinji even more highly.
"Yes, our Shimura clan is willing to help," Takumi Shimura said resolutely.
"Very good. Are there any other clans with ideas?" Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his head to look at the other clans. The heads of the other clans seemed to have sensed the difference in the atmosphere and began to remain silent.
Watching the actions of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the heads of other clans, and looking at Shimura Danzō's expression, Takumi Shimura instantly felt... Did he say something wrong?
