Facing Uchiha Fugaku's expectant gaze, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded gently and responded affirmatively: "Of course it is true, Fugaku."

"Just announce this news to your tribe. Starting from next month, the salary of every member of your security force will be increased."

"This is the Daimyo's personal instruction."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words once again gave Uchiha Fugaku strong hope.

Noticing the change in his father's expression, Uchiha Itachi on the side also breathed a sigh of relief.

Uchiha Shisui was equally relieved.

Looking at the current situation, it seems that there is hope that the family crisis can be resolved for the time being.

Lin Yan observed that the expression on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face revealed a sincere flavor.

It doesn’t look like an act.

He should really hope that the Uchiha clan can continue to live in harmony with Konoha.

The two consultants, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, behaved relatively calmly after Sarutobi Hiruzen said these words.

The two of them also didn't seem to have any major reaction to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

Originally, they were all on Sarutobi Hiruzen's side.

So Lin Yan thinks their reaction at this moment is normal.

However, one person's reaction surprised Lin Yan.

That is Shimura Danzō.

At this time, Danzo had a calm expression on his face, unable to see any inner emotional fluctuations at all.

This old guy is full of prejudice and arrogance towards the Uchiha clan.

Normally, he would have already come out to oppose Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision.

Now, he didn't even fart.

Lin Yan was watching Shimura Danzō and was quickly noticed by the other party.

At this time Shimura Danzō slowly looked towards him.

After glancing at Lin Yan, Shimura Danzō stood up without saying anything.

"Now that the issue has been discussed, let's do it."

"I'm leaving first, Sarutobi."

After Danzo finished speaking, he left the office directly.

"Master Third Generation, then I will go back immediately to explain the situation to the tribe and strive to solve this problem as soon as possible."

Uchiha Fugaku also submitted a farewell request.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, picked up the pipe and started smoking.

Before Uchiha Fugaku left, he turned his head and glanced meaningfully at Lin Yan.

After he also left, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned to look at Lin Yan and said with a smile: "Every village has its own troubles."

"Sorry for making you laugh, Lin Yan."

"Third Hokage-sama, I also take my leave."

Lin Yan stood up, turned to look at Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, and nodded to them.

Then get ready to leave the office.

He said nothing more.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the two major consultants did not ask any questions at this time.

They just let Lin Yan leave the office alone.

After Lin Yan left, Utatane Koharu finally said what he had been holding in his heart: "This Lin Yan really has no manners."

"The Kingdom of the Sea is probably just a barbarian land!"

Her complaints failed to cause much trouble.

Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi had no business speaking on this topic.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen is not a person who is used to speaking ill of people behind their backs.

As for Mitokado Homura, although he was dissatisfied with Lin Yan's rude behavior just now, he also did not agree with Utatane Koharu's words.

"I just didn't expect that he would be interested in the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village..."

"Does this man have any ulterior motives?"

Mitokado Homura guessed.

At the same time, his eyes fell on Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi intentionally or unintentionally.

However, the two of them remained silent.

They are only responsible for executing orders and will not draw random conclusions on matters without factual basis.

At this time, it was Sarutobi Hiruzen who spoke.

"Lin Yan's strength is extraordinary. Konoha is now in short supply of combat power, and many important tasks often cannot find suitable ninjas to carry out them."

"Cultivating him into a trustworthy partner will be of great benefit to us in Konoha."

"Maybe he also wants to integrate into the big family of Konoha."

"We should treat this issue with a more tolerant heart."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words left Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu speechless.

Since he, as Hokage, has said so, the two advisors certainly respect Sarutobi Hiruzen's opinion.

"You two go down first."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.

"Then I'll take my leave now, Lord Third Generation."

Shisui and Itachi both flashed at the same time and disappeared into the office.

After the two of them also left, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep drag on the cigarette.

Then, his eyes became deep and sharp.

"You all should be familiar with Might Guy's Taijutsu. Eight Inner Gates is one of the Forbidden Techniques of Taijutsu."

"Lin Yan is too powerful."

"It won't do us any good to fall out with him."

"Now, what we have to do is to establish a good relationship with him as much as possible after confirming whether the other party is trustworthy and strive for more cooperation between the two parties..."

"His Marine Six Styles and Conqueror's Haki, I think there is indeed something we can learn from."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu immediately looked subconsciously towards the distance outside the window.

The previous explosion outside the village was still vivid in my mind.

Might Guy is Konoha's Jōnin, and his physical skills and overall strength are very powerful. As advisors, of course they know this very well.

"Compared to Lin Yan's strength, Sarutobi, I'm more worried about Danzo."

At this time Utatane Koharu reminded.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen did not tell the two companions what Danzo did in his office that day.

But at this moment, both Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura are very defensive against Shimura Danzō.

"Danzo has been sizing up Lin Yan just now, and I don't know what he is thinking."

"It worries me though, Sarutobi."

"Lin Yan is a mercenary. Like the samurai who work hard, they only care about money and not people."

"If Danzo contacts Lin Yan and tries to use Lin Yan to deal with the Uchiha clan, what should we do?"

He and Utatane Koharu both saw Danzo's malicious look just now.

Despite appearances Danzo remained calm.

But after all, this man has been with them for decades, and everyone is very familiar with his character, temperament, and behavior.

The words of Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura also made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel a little worried.

His eyes instantly became serious.

"I will talk to Danzo, don't worry."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said after pondering for a moment.
