The issuance of high-level missions for the Anbu and task force will be handed over to Hatake Sakumo.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen only handed over half of the Anbu, these Anbu were recruited from civilian ninja backgrounds, the remaining two units Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hand over, using the excuse of organizing unfinished long-term missions.
Actually, those Anbu were from the Sarutobi Race, or other ninja races like the Ino-Shika-Cho.
Besides these matters, there are also issues of liaison with the Daimyo, funding allocations from the Daimyo Mansion, and restoring the credit of various merchants within the Land of Fire; in short, Konoha has quite a few problems at present, and they're all quite troublesome.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Mitokado Homura reported to Hatake Sakumo one by one, and directly passed the troublesome matters to him, letting Hatake Sakumo understand the difficulty.
In the end, they will definitely rely on these experienced consultants; only they can solve this matter.
"Also, about the Grass Village and Hidden Waterfall Village matters, they are likely arriving at Konoha next week, wanting to sign a peace agreement with Konoha."
Only at the end did Sarutobi Hiruzen mention this matter, yet he still spoke with a kind face: "Fourth Hokage, signing a peace agreement with these two Ninja Villages can at least curb Hidden Rock Village's expansion thoughts, which is greatly beneficial for us...."
"Mm, I understand, it seems there are quite a few things lately, in this case, I will also have to arrange for several helpers."
After listening, Hatake Sakumo felt a bit of a headache, all these matters he could handle, but they were not what he liked, yet for Konoha, he could endure.
Simply put, Hatake Sakumo's temperament is a stronger version of Jiraiya, willing to protect Konoha and able to endure things he doesn't like for Konoha.
"Mr. Yoichi, I heard the Uchiha Race's business has good relations with many merchants in the Land of Fire...."
"I understand, leave those matters to me, Fourth Lord."
Uchiha Yoichi spoke: "In the near future, I will have the Uchiha Race invite various renowned merchants from the Land of Fire to Konoha for exchange, which will surely prompt them to assign tasks to Konoha again."
If necessary, the Uchiha Race's business is very short on people, if it weren't for Uzumaki Minami being pregnant, he would have prepared to continue cultivating Hashirama Cells for Reanimation Sacrifices, summoning more Reanimation Bodies.
The Uchiha Race can release many mission commissions to the village.
Upon hearing Uchiha Yoichi's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Mitokado Homura, among others, had a slight change in their expressions; the business of the Uchiha Race is now famous throughout Konoha, with the supermarket and Food District attracting many customers almost daily.
Although the Ninja Game Park hasn't opened yet, there's no shortage of inquiries; and in the Land of Fire, many are paying attention, once operational externally, people from all over the Land of Fire will definitely come to visit and play.
The popularity of the ninja game is indeed high, especially with two wars, the ninja game even had two patriotic versions, with almost sixty to seventy percent of Land of Fire teenagers having played, fiercely striking against foreign enemies in the game.
Hatake Sakumo nodded upon hearing this and then said, "I will communicate with the Daimyo regarding post-war and next year's budget, but for the peace agreement with Grass Village and Hidden Waterfall Village, what are your thoughts?"
Nara Shikaku's heart stirred, and he then tentatively said, "Fourth Lord, do you mean...."
"For Hidden Waterfall Village, let's just say, they intended to attack Konoha, and we were the ones to strike first; but Grass Village attacked the Land of Fire for no reason, causing many Konoha Ninjas to die; I fear signing a peace agreement with them cannot be explained to the families of the fallen Ninjas....."
Hatake Sakumo said, his principle in doing things is very strong, he has always looked down on ninja villages like Grass Village, which are two-faced and unpredictable; although he can usually endure Grass Village, if it comes to reversing right and wrong to sign a peace agreement....
"Fourth Hokage, the village is heavily wounded now, too many ninjas were killed or injured in this war, defending the borders is already the limit, we cannot start another war."
Sarutobi Hiruzen urged, and after he spoke, Mitokado Homura added, "Yes, Fourth Hokage, there is no funding or military material for the village, if we don't sign a peace agreement with Grass Village, they will lean towards Hidden Rock Village."
"Just don't give them that chance!"
Uchiha Yoichi spoke: "The concerns of the Third Hokage and Advisor Mitokado are completely unnecessary, in my opinion, Grass Village must pay the price for invading the Land of Fire, at least compensating for Konoha's losses this time and transferring 70% of the mission commissions from the Land of Grass!"
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Mitokado Homura's faces darkened, while Nara Shikaku beside them said, "Surely Grass Village would not agree to such conditions...."
"Then destroy them!"
With a calm expression, Uchiha Yoichi gestured and continued, "If they disagree, destroy the village. Hidden Rock Village is incapable of starting another war in the short term, and there are no other Ninja Villages around to challenge us, while Hidden Waterfall Village will sign defeat documents obediently rather than a peace agreement."
"This is too radical, Uchiha Clan Leader, don't you know that Konoha can no longer afford to start a war...."
Utatane Koharu couldn't help but speak, but before she could finish, Uchiha Yoichi interrupted her:
"Who said Konoha has to go to war? I alone am enough!"
Uchiha Yoichi said: "Grass Village's ninjas number around two thousand, I can do it alone, if more than a hundred manage to escape from Grass Village, then consider my mission a failure!"
