Chapter 63 I, Fugaku, am a master at pretending to be confused (Ch 63)

Harumitsu and Tsunade walked side by side and soon arrived at the police department and came in front of Fugaku.
“Hmm? Lady Tsunade, why are you here too?”
“I don’t have anything to do, I just followed Harumitsu to take a look.” Tsunade patted Harumitsu’s shoulder, indicating that he had something to say.
Under Fugaku’s gaze, Harumi took out a brand new document.
“Brother Fugaku, this is the new order from the Hokage. From now on, everything about the orphanage will be arranged and handled by our police department.”
At the bottom of the document, there was Sarutobi Hiruzen’s signature and seal, which he had signed not long ago.
Fugaku looked up at Tsunade, then back at Haruki.
His idea coincided with Sarutobi Hiruzen’s. Taking over the orphanage was not a wise choice for either the Uchiha or the police department.
However, looking at the somewhat similar smiles of Harumitsu and Tsunade, he made a decisive decision and trusted Harumitsu.
Anyway, he won’t be the clan leader in the future. He is now the Minister of Police in name, but he knows very well what to do in practice.
It’s just a ruthless stamping machine that helps Qingguang handle trivial matters.
If it were someone else, they might be dissatisfied, but for Fugaku, this was simply a great thing.
Never mind, I believe Qingguang will be done. After get off work, he still has to give Chunya illusion guidance.
“no problem.”
“Qingguang, I remember you used to visit those children often. Recently, you have been unable to go there due to matters related to the police department.”
“How about… I’ll leave this orphanage to you. As for your daily work, I’ll find a way to handle it for you.”
Fugaku’s answer made Tsunade unable to hold back and she was stunned: “Huh?”
“Lady Tsunade, do you think there is anything wrong with Harumitsu being in charge of this matter?” Fugaku asked.
“That’s not the case, it’s just… forget it, it’s nothing.” Tsunade waved her hand.
Why does it seem like Fugaku didn’t even think about it and just handed the case over to Harumitsu? Is he the Minister of Police or Harumitsu?
Why do I feel weird and like my brain is not working very well?
Can such a person really become the Minister of Police?
In this regard, Harumitsu did not intend to shirk responsibility. Although he had not fully understood the intentions of Fugaku and Togashi, the father and son, he could roughly guess some of them.
“Don’t worry, Minister Fugaku. I will take good care of the orphanage.”
Not long after, Tsunade finished her lunch with Haruki in the cafeteria of the police department and returned to the medical department.
Qingguang led a dozen police officers to the village market for a stroll after dinner.
Everyone was carrying oil, rice, firewood, salt, vegetables, fruits, meat and other things in their hands and walking towards the orphanage.
As soon as the group of people arrived at the door, they saw the children sitting on the lawn in the orphanage, listening to the director telling stories.
When the dean saw Qingguang leading a dozen people behind him waving at him outside the door, his eyes suddenly lit up and he closed the storybook, especially the supplies in their hands.
“Children, look who’s here.”
“Brother Qingguang!”
The children swarmed over and surrounded Qingguang.
Looking at Qingguang’s treatment, it would be a lie for these ninjas from the police department to say they were not envious.
“Don’t just focus on me, these older brothers are here with me to visit you.” Haruki pointed at the uniformed Police Department ninjas behind him and shouted.
Taidou immediately stepped forward and ran in front of Tiehuo. Being so brave, he pinched the muscles on Tiehuo’s forearm, with stars in his eyes.
“Let me help you, I can carry it too!” As he said that, he was about to take the two bags of rice from Tiehuo’s hands.
Tiehuo smiled and let go, and then with a snap, the rice bag fell to the ground.
Taidou was holding two rice bags in his hands, his face flushed. He used all his strength to lift them up and staggered inside.
This scene actually made Tiehuo laugh: “Hahaha, let me help you, kid, you are still too thin, you need to eat more and gain more meat so that you can have more strength.”
“No, I can lift it!” Taidou gritted his teeth, unwilling to accept Tiehuo’s help, and took one small step forward at a time.
Qingguang walked up to Tiehuo and whispered, “This child’s personality is similar to yours, Brother Tiehuo.”
“Well, indeed, like me, a man.” Folding his arms, Tiehuo nodded, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Such a scene not only happened to Tiehuo, but other ninjas in the police department also had similar feelings.
Under the arrangement of Harumitsu and the dean, the group of children quickly took the food and went to the river to wash it with the ninjas from the police department.
The dean took this opportunity to come to Qingguang and said, “Qingguang, thank you so much today. The children have never seen so much food before. It’s a rare opportunity for them to eat well and be full.”
His eyes were red and moist, and the dean wiped his moist eyes with his sleeve.
“Don’t worry, Dean. From now on, the children’s meals will remain the same.”
“Hmm, hm? What did you say?” The dean realized it belatedly and looked at Qingguang in disbelief. For a moment he even thought that he was too old and must have heard it wrong.
“You think you can keep it up?”
Haruki nodded, “Yes, this is the latest order from the Hokage-sama. From today on, the orphanage is part of the police department. All expenses for the children will be covered by the police department.”
“You don’t have to worry about someone coming and taking the child away again.”
At this moment, tears of joy flowed from the dean’s eyes. She excitedly held Qingguang’s hand and kept repeating the same words.
“Thank you, Qingguang…”
After the dean calmed down, an unprecedented smile of relief appeared on his face.
“By the way, Dean, there is one more thing I want to tell you.”
“you say.”
“I have an idea. Although the police department cannot provide schooling for all the children, we will invite several teachers to come here to teach them. For those with outstanding academic performance and ninja talent, the police department will provide scholarships, grants and interest-free loans for them to study in the ninja school.”
“Do you think this is okay?”
Originally, the dean was so excited that he shed tears just because the children could have enough food and clothing.
Qingguang’s words even gave her a sense of being in a dream.
She said in a trembling voice: “You mean, the police department even…even pays for their schooling?”
“I’m sorry, Dean, the police department doesn’t have enough funds to send all the children to school, so this is the only way…”
Seeing Qingguang lowering his head in self-blame, the dean immediately said, “No, child, you don’t have to apologize. This is enough, really enough.”
By the evening, adults and children gathered around the large bonfire. The children were vying to listen to the stories told by the ninjas from the police department, and sat next to them in twos and threes.
Haruki walked to the tree in the corner and watched all this with Nono with a happy smile on his face.
