Naruto: The Sarutobi Clan's Capitalist Overlord

After the Nine-Tails' rampage.

Konoha was badly weakened. The village's fighting strength had suffered heavy losses, probes along the borders continued, and dangers lurked everywhere. The whole village was stuck in a quagmire.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was struggling to cope. Danzo refused to take the blame, and with pressure mounting from every side...

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally nominated a Genin from his own clan to take the blame and soothe the great clans.

That person was none other than Sarutobi Rasheng.

"What? I'm supposed to revitalize Konoha and appease the Uchiha?!!"

Just as everyone assumed the young Genin would bear all the blame...

Sarutobi Rasheng declared, "No one understands Konoha better than I do! I'll make Konoha great again!"

The Uchiha Clan.

Sarutobi Rasheng stood proudly: "For every hundred you transfer, ninety-five goes to me! You know how I operate!"

"Well..." Fugaku looked troubled.

"It's too difficult? Then don't do it!" Rasheng waved over a group of ANBU.

Fugaku was alarmed. "We can work it out! We can work it out! Anything can be discussed!"

Then he went to the Hyuga Clan, the Aburame Clan, and the Inuzuka Clan.

"Don't waste the remaining five. Transfer four-point-eight to me tonight."

"Uh..." The clan heads looked troubled.

"And the remaining two-tenths..."

The clan heads erupted in anger. "You're still at it?!"

"Just kidding. I don't need those two-tenths." Sarutobi Rasheng led the ANBU away.

In the end, the great clans submitted a joint petition to the Hokage, asking him to punish Sarutobi Rasheng.

Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped his pipe and rejected their petition.

He said, "I'll replace whoever's willing to take the blame."

The clans fell silent.
