The First Thing the Military Department Did
Meanwhile, behind Makoto Ito was a large group of people!
First, there are his four deputy ministers...
Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, Minato Namikaze, Fugaku Uchiha!!!
And his two bodyguards!
Might Duy and Might Guy!
Behind these individuals was a Konoha 12 Rookies, Kakashi, Kurenai, Asuma, and a whole bunch of Konoha Elite Jonin who wanted to join the military!
Madara Uchiha looked at Makoto Ito beside him and asked...
Where are we going?
Makoto Ito thought for a moment and replied...
"We need to find a place for the military headquarters to be stationed first, after all, there are still 1,000 ninjas stationed there! If it's not a very large place, it simply won't work!"
"Do you need a base?" Madara Uchiha continued...
"How about we go to the Uchiha Clan's territory?! It's a large place, and no Uchiha Clan members live there anymore! I think it's a good option..."
Hashirama Senju to the side, also spoke up...
"Our Senju Clan's original territory is also fine! It's a large place, and there's no one there now..."
Hearing their conversation, Makoto Ito shook his head...
"Let's forget about it. Although no one lives there now, it is still your home. It's not really appropriate to turn your former home into a military headquarters. Even though no one lives there anymore, the clan land is still there, so there's something to look forward to... I do have a good idea for where our military headquarters will be located!"
"Where?"
Where is it?
Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju looked at Makoto Ito with curiosity...
Makoto Ito continued...
"This is where we are now! The Forest of Death!!! It's on the edge of Konoha, uninhabited, and full of primeval forest! We'll modify it a bit with some sticks! It'll be a natural encampment!"
The two nodded upon hearing Makoto Ito's words...
"The Forest of Death? That's certainly a nice place!!!"
"Let's go! Starting today, the military headquarters is officially established! I can spend every day with Madara!!! Hehehe..."
Hashirama Senju spoke, he wore a perverted grin...
Hearing this from beside him, Madara Uchiha his spine...
Minato Namikaze also flashed his signature sunny smile...
"Now that the military headquarters is established, are we about to launch our first military operation?! Hehehehehehehehehehehe... It's time to let the Ninja World feel the pain!!!"
Fugaku Uchiha smiled as well...
"I'm really looking forward to it, Minato! Now we can train together Tenten..."
Might Guy and Might Duy, father and son, who were standing next to everyone, jumped up at the same time and shouted!
"This is youth!!!!"
z...
And so, the group arrived at the Forest of Death ...
Makoto Ito and Hashirama Senju each used Wood Release to slightly alter the center of the forest...
Training grounds, practice areas, and even living quarters were all easily erected from the ground!
The ninjas also displayed their unique skills, some cutting down trees, some using Earth Release to level the land, and Water Release to create rivers... Makoto Ito even cultivated a large area of farmland around the military headquarters...
In fact, Makoto Ito had wondered before why no ninja in the Ninja World used ninjutsu to farm. It was such an easy thing to do!
Fire Release Ninjutsu can burn weeds, Earth Release ninjutsu can cultivate land, and Water Release Ninjutsu can water plants!
In addition, with the Wood Release of himself and the First Hokage, they could be used to accelerate the growth of crops, producing countless harvests!
If things go this way, the military might be able to grow enough food to not only satisfy Konoha's needs but also export it!
The ninjas were also somewhat bewildered. The military headquarters had only just been established, and instead of giving a speech, the minister had gone to farm first...
But no one had any other ideas, and they all joined in the farming business!
And so, after half a day of clearing, the boundless farmland was cultivated. With the help of Makoto Ito and Hashirama Senju's Wood Release techniques, the first crop was harvested in just half a day!
The group of ninjas who originally wanted to join the military were shocked!
Is farming really that easy?!
So much food! More than we could ever eat in a lifetime!
Then Makoto Ito and Hashirama Senju built several more large warehouses and piled all the grain inside...
Overall, the military headquarters has now been officially established!
Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha are in charge of recruiting new people over there, and the quota of 1,000 ninjas stationed in the military is now completely full!
These 1,000 people are the elite of the elite! The strongest of the strong!
Even the weakest are Special Jonin...
Chunin don't exist in the military!
In fact, there are many Jonin in Konoha, and even more if you count Special Jonin!
Therefore, it would be a very easy task for the military to gather 1,000 resident ninjas...
With recruitment completed and the military headquarters grounds set up, the first batch of grain was stored!
Everyone gathered in the square...
The military headquarters has been officially established successfully!
