"After the end of Third Ninja World War, if we want to implement a medal system and evaluate the merits of ninjas who come off the battlefield, then a temporary department needs to be established. This department can be temporarily called 'Medal Review Council', Lord Hokage. It is foreseeable that the heads of each ninja clan in Konoha will want to join this judging panel..."
Yuhara This person has never been very good at hints, because his hints are basically explicit.
Even if a Ninja clan leader with extremely high political sensitivity can discover at the first time that this medal system will damage the unity and threat within the clan and strengthen the direct control of the Ninja Village over the Ninja Ninja, what can they do? Can they reject this system? This is a serious political line error. The medal system helps to increase the overall sense of honor and collective consciousness of Konoha Ninja. Who would openly oppose it?
Not only can they not refuse this medal system, they even have to fight for more medals for the ninjas in the clan. For example, the No. 1 ninja clan. If your clan only has two or three low-level medals, then why do you claim to be the first? Where is your honor? Are you still relying on your ancestors' money?
There is no doubt that Medal Review Council is in the hands of Hokage. Whoever Third Hokage wants can enter, which once again strengthens the authority and influence of Hokage.
So Third Hokage looked at Yuhara with eyes full of appreciation.
Then I heard Kushina Uzumaki say, "I should have a seat on this jury, right?"
Third Hokage: "..."
Fourth Hokage's widow indeed deserves such a position, but do you want to put it so directly?
When Kushina Uzumaki saw that Third Hokage didn't respond, he handed Naruto in his arms to him, "Didn't the third generation of adults hear my words clearly? Why don't you let little Naruto translate for you?"
Little Naruto was so rude that he immediately reached out to pull Third Hokage's beard.
Third Hokage immediately hugged Naruto and said, "I have you, I have you."
You can't afford to offend a widow with a child, you can't afford to offend her.
"Also, what do you think of the establishment of a new village organization that I mentioned?" Kushina Uzumaki first nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to ask.
Third Hokage was slightly silent at this time. Compared with a position on the jury, the issue of establishing a new organization is more complicated.
"I know you want to find a place to accommodate the young ninjas left behind by Fourth Hokage, but what about the name of establishing a new organization? Under what name?" Third Hokage asked.
"Dedicated to improving the average quality of ninjas in the village and cultivating new people, how about an organization that is more educational and training for the time being? I have already thought of the name of the organization, and it will be called Crimson Crown." Kushina Uzumaki said. It was obvious that she had already thought of the answer to this question.
Third Hokage was silent again, until little Naruto started to pull his beard again. He looked at Naruto's face, his eyes stayed on the child's blond hair, and then he nodded.
"Yes, Kushina... you have the right to make such a request. I agree to this matter, and I will help you resolve other obstacles." Third Hokage finally said.
It was rare for him to show his responsible side, but he didn't know if this was considered a debt and guilt to Fourth Hokage.
After talking about things in the village, Third Hokage returned little Naruto to Kushina, and then he came up with a second proposal. Compared with the first proposal, which was almost completely approved, this proposal was a little more troublesome.
"Let's talk about this matter again. It is a good thing to call for the convening of Five Kage Summit and completely end Ninja World War. If it can be initiated, it will naturally enhance the political prestige of Konoha. And now, it is not difficult to convene Five Kage Summit...
Konoha initiated it, Sunagakure seconded it, and Kirigakure probably agreed. The three of us made the request, and the permanent neutral country Land of Iron will naturally help invite Iwagakure and Kumogakure. The samurai are not willing to see the war continue, and the most important thing is that everyone wants to sit down and talk."
Third Hokage feels that convening Five Kage Summit to discuss ending the war is the right decision to follow the trend, but the problem is the next proposal.
"In the future, it is forbidden for ninjas under the age of fourteen to participate in ninja-confrontational missions. This is also discussed. The key is... calling on all countries to reduce the number of ninjas is almost impossible. Kushina, you have to understand that if Konoha makes such a suggestion, then we must be the first to set an example."
Kushina nodded, "The suggestion is just a suggestion, but I think if we really do this, with the help of political pressure, other ninja villages will more or less respond positively. If nothing else, Sunagakure will definitely be willing to sign such a treaty."
Disarmament is an approach that benefits the weak and disadvantages the strong.
"According to the statement in this proposal, you hope that Konoha can control the number of ninjas to less than 15,000 after the war. You must know that this is equivalent to reducing the number of ninjas by a quarter. Regardless of outside opinions, this approach will not be accepted within the village." Third Hokage shook his head and said.
During Third Ninja World War, the number of ninjas in Konoha expanded to 20,000. However, how many of these 20,000 are considered combatable soldiers? An empty number really doesn't mean much. Instead of blindly expanding the army, it is better to increase the average strength of ninjas.
"It's not like laying off 5,000 ninjas at once, it just takes several years to gradually eliminate them. Instead of maintaining a huge number of ninjas, it's better to find ways to increase the quality of ninjas. Now Konoha has 20,000 ninjas, but what about the number of jonins? Adding Special Jōnin to jonins, the total is only about 500, and most of them are still Special Jōnin.
That is to say, among every one hundred ninjas Konoha, there are only 2.5 jounin on average. If we want to improve the strength of the village, finding ways to increase this ratio is the most important thing. I think the number is second. Between one jounin and ten Genin, do you still need to think about the choice?" Kushina Uzumaki said.
Then she glanced at Yuhara, and then added, "The ninjas who have retreated from the front line of the battle are not useless. We can put them into productive occupations..."
The term "productive occupation" obviously comes from Yuhara.
"Although this is true, the actual situation is not easy to operate. How to increase the jounin ratio?" Third Hokage asked.
At present, the methods of cultivating talents in each village are similar, that is, raising Gu and involution. Regardless of anything else, first get a hundred Genin out. These hundred people will die over and over again, and eventually one or two will be able to become jounin.
"This requires reforming the education and training system in the village." Kushina said.
Yuhara added, "As Ninja World War is about to end and the world is anti-war, it is always right for Lord Hokage to mention the topic of disarmament on Five Kage Summit. This will help improve Lord Hokage's future And Konoha's political reputation proves that we are really reflecting on the war and do not want it to happen again. Originally, Ninja World War was not instigated by Konoha. At least Konoha is qualified to raise the topic of disarmament."
In Yuhara's view, disarmament is not completely impossible. Of course, Ninja Village is unwilling to reduce its military strength, but if this trend of thought really becomes a trend, some people will definitely be happy to see it happen... If Ninja Village reduces the number of ninjas at the same time, Daimyo from all countries will 100% agree.
Who is willing to invest a large amount of money in a Ninja Village? Isn't it good to do something with the money? Food, beautiful women, beautiful palaces, and terrible corruption?
If Daimyo cuts the funds invested in Ninja Village, then Ninja Village will have to reduce its size if not downsize.
Third Hokage was thoughtful, and after a while, he said, "It's okay to mention this kind of thing on Five Kage Summit, but it may be the main topic... It is not impossible to reduce the number of ninjas. You can't Are you going to set up a new organization 'Crimson Crown' dedicated to improving the quality of ninjas? Let me see your results first. If you can really increase the jounin ratio of Konoha, then reducing the number of ninjas will be a matter of course."
As he said that, Third Hokage laughed.
"Damn it, old fox. Apart from me, three-quarters of the men, women, old and children in this room are foxes." Seeing this, Yuhara couldn't help but curse inwardly.
This topic could no longer be discussed. Third Hokage then went back to the medal system. In his opinion, the name of the medal that Yuhara thought of was very interesting.
"The second-level medal, Senju of the Forest Honor Medal, mainly encourages those ninjas who have demonstrated sufficient personal abilities in special operations, such as playing a prominent role in the battle against Tailed Beast..."
After Third Hokage read this sentence, Yuhara became a little embarrassed... He said that the names of these medals were just random thoughts of his.
"Senju of the Forest" is the only medal with the name of the Ninja clan. This is because Senju of the Forest has disappeared now, so Yuhara doesn't mind "commemorating" them. The reason why such a medal appears, Yuhara is just joking. Isn't it interesting that someone who can rival Tailed Beast will get "Medal of the Senju"? He didn't think about himself in particular, because he didn't think Hokage would be named after this set of medals.
But when Third Hokage pronounces the name of this medal like this, it seems that this is a medal specially set by Yuhara for himself... Because Yuhara not only competed with Nine-Tails, he also competed with Eight-Tails. In Konoha, it is really rare to see ninjas who have done such a life-threatening job.
Yuhara smiled awkwardly, and then he had to explain, "It's just to commend some ninjas for their personal bravery. I have always admired Masters Senju Clan and First Hokage."
Seeing this situation, Third Hokage and Kushina Uzumaki looked at each other, and then couldn't help but laugh together.
Then maybe it was because Third Hokage laughed so hard that when he smiled, some people immediately started crying.
Little Naruto stretched out his hands to kick his legs and screamed...
Laughing at your sister makes me cry.
Like I cry like this.
