Konoha Sheriff

At 08:30 in the morning, all ANBU members who currently had no tasks on hand received orders to assemble in front of the Hokage Building.

ANBU are not as cold and machine-like as the Roots. Although they kill people like crazy, most of them still retain the emotions of being human.

Therefore, some people in the crowd at this time could not help but complain softly:

"I'm so convinced! What on earth are you thinking, Hokage-sama? Why should we be responsible for such meaningless work?"

"Who says it's not the case? Isn't our ANBU's full name the Special Assassination Tactics Unit? Going to collect money from those vendors in broad daylight, isn't it something that just a few newly graduated genin can do..."

At this moment, a tall figure appeared in front of several people:

"Do you have any objections to the tasks assigned by the Third Generation?"

The visitor's code name is Xiang, and he is the personal ANBU who has been responsible for the protection of the Third Hokage since he was a Jonin.

Hearing the eerie and cold voice, several people trembled in unison:

"no!"

"Since you have no objection, then come out as soon as possible..."

Before Xiang finished speaking, there were already bursts of footsteps and noisy yelling in the distance:

"RNM, refund the money!"

"Are you worthy of us like this?"

"Oh no, I'm so disappointed!"

Listening to the continuous yelling and cursing, the mouths of all the Anbu's masks opened wide.

This, this is... a villager riot?

Thinking of this, several Anbu subconsciously raised their hands to form seals.

Xiang was startled by the actions of these people and quickly reached out to stop him:

"Crazy, aren't you? These are villagers in the village, not enemies!"

"Then captain, what do you think we should do?" The ANBU members all looked at Xiang.

The dark face under the elephant mask was already covered with cold sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and said:

"You use your body to hold them back. Remember, you must not let the villagers break into the Hokage Building under any circumstances. I will inform the Third Generation immediately!"

While he was talking, Xiang had already jumped straight into the Hokage's office along the window.

In fact, there is no need. Xiang came here specifically to inform him that Konoha F4 is not blind or deaf. He has already heard and seen the movement outside the door.

When Xiang broke in from the window, Konoha F4 was nervously discussing how to deal with the villagers outside.

"How did things become like this?" There was obvious panic in Xiaochun's voice when she went to bed.

Mito Monoyan looked like he had seen a ghost:

"Why didn't those villagers come to the police force and instead came to cause trouble for us?"

Danzo's face was livid, and he kept mumbling:

"How could it be? This shouldn't be the case?"

Hiruzen's cloudy old eyes swept over the three old friends one by one, with obvious disappointment in his eyes.

I really believed your evil deeds!

Turning his head to look at the ANBU who were crowded by the crowd outside the window, the third generation secretly clenched his fists. He suddenly stood up and walked out of the Hokage's office under the surprised gazes of the other three people.

…………

"Where's Hokage-sama? We want to see Hokage-sama!"

"No matter what happens today, we have to let Mr. Hokage give us an explanation!"

The force of the crowd attacking ANBU was getting stronger and stronger. Just when the human wall formed by ANBU members holding hands was about to be broken through, a figure wearing a red and white bamboo hat suddenly appeared on the rooftop of the Hokage Building:

"Everyone, didn't you say you wanted to see me? I'm here now!"

After all, the reputation accumulated by the Third Hokage over the years as a Hokage cannot be overshadowed. As soon as he said these words, the crowd stopped pushing and pushing.

People raised their heads and looked up at the back of the figure wearing the imperial robe, and the shouts and curses in their mouths suddenly stopped.

"Everyone, what is it that makes you so restless?"

It was okay not to say this, but as soon as he said this, the crowd that had been quiet became agitated again. The angry crowd kept talking about how they paid money to the Hokage Building, but did not get any receipt, and were even arrested by the police. People from the security forces told them that they had never received any relevant documents on this matter.

Hearing this, Sandaiqi's whole body trembled. Fortunately, he stood high enough so that the crowd below didn't notice.

He was angry that his three pig teammates couldn't understand how to make money, and he was also angry that his power had been shaken.

During his more than 30 years as Hokage, what he said or even spread was never questioned.

But today, he was questioned by more than one person, and people actually questioned him based on the words of the Uchiha clan members.

This made me feel an unusual atmosphere, a strong sense of crisis!

Sandai immediately had an idea in his mind. He took a deep breath and sighed:

"I don't know anything about this matter. This is really my dereliction of duty as Hokage..."

Having said this, the third generation immediately took off his Hokage hat, revealing his sparse white hair and bowed deeply to the villagers below.

With this bow, half of the anger in the villagers' hearts disappeared immediately.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the villagers who were frozen in place with doubtful expressions on their faces. Sandai rolled his eyes and then added another sentence:

"Although I don't know exactly what went wrong, everyone is willing to hand over the money, which shows that everyone trusts me. If this is the case, then I can't let everyone suffer this loss in vain.

Let's do this. Next, please line up in front of the Hokage Building, and I will send people to pay for your losses one by one. "

Upon hearing the words "compensation for losses", the attitude of the villagers present immediately made a 180-degree turn.

Some people spontaneously lined up to wait for compensation for their losses, while others admired the third generation as a person and left directly. They would rather suffer losses themselves than let their beloved third generation suffer.

Seeing that the storm was finally gone, Sandai breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to the Hokage's office.

After returning to the office, Sandai's first words were:

"Take out all the money you put into your pockets some time ago. I know you are worthy of this."

"This..." Xiaochun hesitated for a moment before going to bed, and finally said: "Why do you have to go to this extent? Hiruzen, you only need to talk in public to continue with the police force..."

"That's enough!" Sandai shouted loudly: "You think you've lost enough face, don't you?"

If he really admitted in public that he, the Third Hokage, was openly competing with the police force for profit, wouldn't his "loving the people like sons" personality that he has maintained for more than 30 years immediately collapse?

Seeing Mito Kabuto and Koharu Kaikai who had transferred to another dormitory go out to arrange the refund, Sandai was silent for a moment, then looked at Danzo who did not leave, but kept looking at him with a half-smiling expression:

"You should know what I want to say, right?"

"Does that kid really have that much energy? The White Fang of Konoha didn't scare you so much back then, right?"
