Chapter 97 - Chapter 97: Work Report in the Hokage's Office!

After Izumi went back to rest, Uchiha Shin took Tsunade to the Hokage Building!

The staff in the Hokage Building were all surprised to see Uchiha Shin.

They hadn't expected the Hokage, who hadn't come for many days and had directly thrown all the work to the four advisors, to actually show up today!!

"Lord Fifth!"

"Good day, Lord Fifth!!"

"Lord Fifth."

Uchiha Shin nodded with a smile as everyone greeted him along the way.

"You there!"

Uchiha Shin suddenly called out to a ninja dressed as a female clerk!

"Lord Fifth, my name is Nara Kasumiko! What can I do for you??"

Hearing Uchiha Shin's call, the female clerk hurried over!

"Nara Kasumiko? A member of Shikaku's clan?"

Uchiha Shin raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, Lord Fifth. I am currently Advisor Shikaku's assistant."

Nara Kasumiko quickly responded.

"Good, go and inform the four advisors, Shikaku and the others, to come to the Hokage's office!"

Uchiha Shin said.

As the Hokage, even if he had business, he couldn't possibly go to his subordinates. Instead, he would have them come to him!

"Yes!"

Nara Kasumiko quickly responded and hurried away!

"Let's go, let's go to the Hokage's office!"

Uchiha Shin said to Tsunade.

"Yes!"

Tsunade responded.

Hokage's Office!

Uchiha Shin held Tsunade in his arms, teasing her.

Now, Tsunade not only didn't feel disgusted by this, but she would even actively participate, wishing she could melt into Uchiha Shin's body.

For Uchiha Shin, this was also a new kind of fun.

Training had its own pleasures, and a beautiful woman actively throwing herself at him had its own pleasures as well.

Not long after, a knock suddenly came from the door!

Uchiha Shin and Tsunade stopped and, after straightening their clothes, Uchiha Shin said: "Come in!"

As the door to the Hokage's office opened, the four giants, Uchiha Setsuna, Shikaku, Hiashi, and Kakashi, walked in one after another.

When they saw Tsunade standing beside Uchiha Shin, they were all surprised.

"The Fifth actually brought Princess Tsunade over?"

"What on earth is going on??"

Shikaku and the others didn't know what Uchiha Shin was planning, so they didn't show their thoughts.

"Fifth, you were looking for us?!!"

Uchiha Setsuna was the first to ask.

"That's right!!"

Uchiha Shin nodded!

"It's been a while since I've been to the Hokage Building, and I haven't been paying much attention to Konoha's affairs lately. I happen to have some free time now, so I came to take a look and get an update on the situation!"

You're quite self-aware!!

The four of them thought to themselves!

Then they began to report their work to Uchiha Shin, starting with Shikaku.

Shikaku first reported on the situation in various parts of the Land of Fire and the progress of the purge of the feudal lords and nobles.

Then, he told Uchiha Shin about the civil service examination.

The first batch of selected civil servants had already taken up their posts, and the second round of examinations was under preparation.

In addition, Shikaku solemnly reported on Konoha's new development.

Shikaku believed that Konoha had now become the center of the Land of Fire, and the old Konoha was already outdated and narrow.

It needed to be continuously expanded outwards, and a new city needed to be built.

He also handed over the expansion plan for the new Konoha to Uchiha Shin for his review.

After reading it, Uchiha Shin was very satisfied and agreed directly.

Because the blueprint not only included the expansion of the new urban area, but also his royal palace.

After all, Uchiha Shin was now the sole ruler of the Land of Fire, with both military and political power in his hands.

In the future, he would also establish his own dynasty.

Naturally, he would need a magnificent building to match his status.

And his royal palace would be built on the open space on top of the Hokage Rock!

It would cover an area of more than a thousand acres, far exceeding the Daimyo's Mansion, and not much smaller than the Forbidden City of his previous life!

After that, Shikaku reported on countless other matters, big and small.

Uchiha Shin listened, giving suggestions and making decisions from time to time.

By the time Shikaku had finished his report, two hours had already passed.

Then it was Uchiha Setsuna's turn.

He mainly talked about the tax issues of the Land of Fire.

Through Uchiha Setsuna's report, Uchiha Shin learned that the tax department was even more short of tax officials than the government was of officials.

To this, Uchiha Shin could only comfort him by saying that this was only temporary and would soon be resolved.

He even had the tax department hold multiple civil service examinations, not needing to be combined with Shikaku's government officials.

Uchiha Setsuna naturally nodded repeatedly.

Uchiha Setsuna's report took about forty minutes.

Then it was Hiashi's turn.

He also reported on the public security issues of the Land of Fire.

With Uchiha Shin's initial proposal, Hiashi had recruited many samurai these days, which had indeed greatly alleviated the problem of the lack of ninja.

However, there was another problem: bandits.

With the fall of the Land of Fire and Konoha's full-scale purge of the feudal lords and nobles, the entire Land of Fire was in chaos.

The number of people choosing to become bandits had increased countless times.

The big cities were fine, as the bandits didn't dare to be presumptuous there, but they began to frantically wreak havoc on the small villages.

For a time, countless people suffered.

And now, with Konoha's full-scale purge of the feudal lords and nobles of the Land of Fire, there were no spare ninja to do missions.

So, Konoha simply stopped accepting external missions!

After all, they already had the national tax revenue.

Still relying on missions to make money?

How low was that!

So, the villagers were helpless against the bandits for a time.

After hearing Hiashi's report, Uchiha Shin was silent for a moment.

Then he looked at Kakashi: "Kakashi, how many rogue ninja have we recruited?"

"We've recruited nearly six hundred."

"Among them, three have Jonin-level strength, one hundred and eighteen have Chunin-level strength, and the rest are at the Genin level!"

"At this time, they are still undergoing loyalty training and have not yet been dispatched!"

Kakashi said.

"Is that so!!"

Uchiha Shin nodded.

"In that case, let's take this opportunity to train the troops!"

"Hiashi, Kakashi, which of you is willing to lead this group of rogue ninja to suppress the bandits?"

Uchiha Shin asked.

Hiashi and Kakashi glanced at each other.

"Lord Fifth, I'll go!"

Hiashi said proactively.

Kakashi nodded beside him.

"In that case, then you go, Hiashi!!"

Uchiha Shin nodded.
