Chapter 191 - 86: Anti-Corruption Storm (6)
After resolving the issues with the Fourth Division of the Standing Army, Jinghang temporarily appointed Maki as the commander of the Fourth Division. For ninja officers at or above the rank of regiment leader involved in corruption or underworld activities, they were handed over to the Intelligence Department personnel stationed at the Yuexi Peninsula for detention and interrogation. The remaining lower-level ninjas were subjected to "study and rectification" on the spot. Jinghang himself, along with Yecang, Scorpion, and Guren, boarded the No. 001 warship back to Sunagakure. Because immediately after the operation, he issued a summon for the "Village Representative Meeting." Such a significant event and action required a meeting to convey the spirit, especially since there were several important and targeted new policies to announce.
When Jinghang and his team returned to Sunagakure, they barely had time to eat before wave after wave of people came, mostly the village elders, trying to intercede. Their words were generally as follows:
"Oh, it’s just a bit of embezzlement, isn’t it? Just pay it back, we’re all from the same village, why be so harsh?"
"That person shed blood and was injured for the village, it’s just a few people from other villages being tied up, it’s not a big deal, let them go."
"Jinghang, I’m telling you, that person’s father saved your father’s life on the battlefield, you can’t be ungrateful..."
Such pleas made Jinghang extremely annoyed, so he simply locked the gate of his villa and moved with Tsunade and Kojingyan to the office dormitory of the Kazekage Building. At least there were guards at the Kazekage Building entrance, preventing random entry. He only showed up when the "Village Representative Meeting" officially convened.
Amidst the applause of the representatives, Jinghang walked onto the podium with a stern face. Clearing his throat, he began his speech.
"I believe everyone is aware of the recent events. It’s truly shocking. In Sunagakure, including the Yuehu New District and Yuexi Peninsula, there are a total of thirty ministerial-level officials, and I had to dismiss five. There are sixty vice-ministerial-level officials, and I had to dismiss thirteen. Additionally, there was one division commander, one deputy commander, ten regimental commanders, and thirty-six regiment leaders from the Standing Army’s Fourth Division. The number of involved ninjas is countless!
