"Furthermore, Master, you are the Hokage, and you Jiraiya have the status and strength of Jiraiya and Tsunade, the Sannin."
"If this can be implemented for a few years, then these families won't be able to oppose it so easily."
After Hagoromo finished speaking, he poured a cup of water for Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi finally spoke slowly, "Hagoromo, you need to understand that once this plan is proposed..."
"Even if you're not the one in charge on the surface, when you're promoted to Jonin later..."
"None of these families will let you pass easily."
Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally knew that the success of this plan would mean that the Hokage would have even greater power.
However, Hagoromo, as the proposer, would also become a thorn in the side of these families.
Don't think that just because Hagoromo doesn't appear in the open, she won't be discovered. Although these families all have some internal problems.
But that doesn't mean everyone in the clan is a fool.
With a little investigation, one can find out who was behind this.
While it's impossible for them to rebel against the village, they can still make things difficult for Hagoromo.
"If I truly lack the strength to overcome obstacles, then I am indeed unworthy of becoming Jonin."
"Master, you should think about how to properly educate these graduating students, lest some people reap the benefits later."
Hagoromo didn't care at all about whether he could be promoted to Jonin, and instead said something meaningful.
If this plan succeeds, and if Hiruzen Sarutobi manages it well, these commoner ninjas will become the Hokage's most loyal supporters.
Don't assume that becoming a ninja means everyone is fearless of death.
On the contrary, it is because of the fear of death that they are even more eager to improve their strength and progress.
To put it bluntly, becoming Jonin is something that Hagoromo has to achieve through his own strength.
Adding a little more difficulty wouldn't be a big deal.
"Old man, I'm not so old that I need you to remind me of this kind of thing."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said irritably, "If you didn't know the power of public opinion here..."
He might as well just abdicate.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master," Hagoromo Yi said, nodding.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stroked his beard, looking at the disciple before him.
After a long pause, he finally spoke with a sigh, "Well, leave it to me. After all, this is a good thing for Konoha."
Upon hearing this, Hagoromo knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi had made up his mind, so he took his leave.
After Hagoromo closed the office door, Hiruzen Sarutobi waved.
A figure Body Flicker Technique before Hiruzen Sarutobi, kneeling on one knee and saying, "Hiruzen Hokage."
"Shisui, go and call Asuma here for me."
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke to Shisui Uchiha, who was standing in front of him.
"Yes!"
Shisui responded with a sound, then disappeared again.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed softly and closed his eyes to wait.

The next morning, Hagoromo arrived at the Ninja Academy as usual.
But in the teacher's office, they encountered an unexpected person.
"Asuma- senpai?"
Hearing the sound, Asuma Sarutobi in his office, turned around and said irritably:
"I've told you several times, you're the old man's disciple, you don't need to address me like that."
"Habit, habit."
Hagoromo waved his hand, after all, he was only Chunin, and when he met Jonin, he would almost always address him as "senpai" (senior).
"Why are you at school so early? Is there something you need?"
Hagoromo already had some guesses, but she still asked anyway.
Bite--
A crisp click of a lighter rang out, Asuma Sarutobi lit a cigarette, slowly saying:
"The old man asked me to come and announce the internship plan for the graduating students with you."
The other teachers in the office were taken aback by these words and all looked at Hagoromo and Asuma Sarutobi.
Really...
Hiruzen Sarutobi planned to have his son attract most of the attention.
This old man...
Hagoromo nodded, took the documents from Asuma Sarutobi's hand, and then tossed them directly to Iruka, saying:
"Inform all teachers that there will be a meeting later."
An hour later, Asuma Sarutobi left the Ninja Academy.
Hagoromo ignored the astonished teachers and turned to leave the meeting room.
Anyway, everything that needed to be explained has been explained, now we're ready to carry it out.
Inside the teachers' meeting room, several teachers in charge of the senior grades walked at the back.
One of them spoke up, "Kubo- senpai, about this matter..."
"Is this how you're going to handle this? You've been teaching these children for so many years, are you really willing to send them to their deaths?"
After Kubo finished speaking, he left alone.
The remaining group exchanged glances, saying nothing more.
The news announced at the school quickly spread among the various clans of Konoha.
Some smaller clans perked up, ready to see what the Uchiha and Hyuga's attitude would be.
Unexpectedly, they received Hyuga Clan Hokage Building clan members in the Konoha Military Police Force had increased to more than twenty.
The Uchiha Clan, on the other hand, remained silent and did not comment on the fact that graduating students would first enter an internship.
At this point, these smaller clans understood that the Hokage had already reached an agreement with the Hyuga and Uchiha Clans.
Hagoromo completely ignored this, because Asuma's arrival directly shifted the focus of the matter to him.
Even if someone later finds out that it was Hagoromo who suggested this.
By then, not only will the dust have settled, but the fruits of labor will also have ripened.
There's no risk involved, but you can reap the benefits.
--
On the training field, Shikamaru stayed with Hagoromo.
"Teacher, my dad said he won't be meeting with you for the time being."
"Oh, it's alright. I'll give it to you when I need to hand over anything later."
As Konoha's top AI, Shikaku would notice this, Hagoromo would naturally know it too.
However, according to Hagoromo's plan, the supply of medicinal herbs increased.
As long as the Ino-Shika-Cho Clans accept this benefit, there will not be much opposition within their tribes.
On the contrary, they are the main supporters of the Hiruzen plan.
As for the fear of losing their voice, the family secrets are the foundation upon which their three clans are built.
Moreover, the medicinal herb business doesn't require any so-called "voice" or "power"; they simply need to follow in the footsteps of each generation of Hokage.
"The adult world is so hard to understand." Shikamaru said lazily as he lay down on the grass after finishing his story.
Hagoromo chuckled lightly, "Isn't the world of you children easy to understand?"
"That's different. At least you don't have to plan every single step," Shikamaru said, shaking his head.
"Shikamaru! Come quick! Choji says he wants to catch fish!"
Naruto's voice rang out loudly from not far away.
"Can't I just lie down and relax when I finally get a break?" Shikamaru muttered to himself, but still got up anyway.
Then came a loud reply, "Coming!"
Hagoromo leaned against the tree, looked at the disciples not far away, shook her head and laughed.
