"Lord Hokage!"
"Teacher!"
When Hiruzen Sarutobi walked into the conference room, Konoha Committee Member all stood up subconsciously to greet him...
Orochimaru breathed a long sigh of relief and laughed from the bottom of his heart.
These days, I'm going to annoy him so much!
Although it has not happened again, a vicious incident like Danzo losing control...
However, the atmosphere of the meeting was still extremely tense.
There was a heated exchange of words, with no one giving in, and even the most basic qualitative issues were not well coordinated...
"Hey, the atmosphere is very lively!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the Konoha Committee Member present, and said with a smile, "It seems that everyone must have put in a lot of effort, their faces are red and their necks are thick from exhaustion..." "Have the minutes of the meeting been prepared? Let me appreciate everyone's results..."
Hizashi appeared beside Hiruzen Sarutobi silently and handed it over with both hands.
"Thank you for your hard work, Hizashi..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and walked slowly to the main seat, facing away from everyone.
The moment Orochimaru looked into each other's eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his eyebrows.
That means. "Bad boy, how does it feel to be Hokage?
Orochimaru was startled.
Then he shook his head with emotion and straightened the chair for Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Teacher, sit down quickly!"
After such an experience...
Orochimaru understands clearly that his prestige and fundamentals are far from solid enough.
Even if the teacher asks him to be Hokage now, Orochimaru will choose to refuse...
Orochimaru told Hiruzen Sarutobi before that he hoped he would work for another fifty years...
But I still thought that in a few years, I would actually be able to take over.
"At least ten years... within ten years, everything must be done by the teacher!" Orochimaru thought in his heart:
"It would be good to work for another twenty or thirty years. Anyway, the teacher's health is getting better and better..."
As for "How can there be fifty years in the world Crown Prince"...
The acceptance level of Orochimaru is very high.
The treatment and research environment under the teacher are so generous, and his lifespan will obviously be different from ordinary people, so why worry?
Orochimaru I even feel like I was a little stupid before...
What's the rush?
Danzo stared straight at Hiruzen Sarutobi, not daring to make a sound and not even moving.
I was afraid that I would make a little noise and disturb Hiruzen Sarutobi who was reading the meeting minutes...
Thinking of the question I just asked myself...
Hiruzen Sarutobi flipped through the meeting minutes and smiled in his heart.
Pretty much what he thought...
Under his leadership, today's Konoha has become stronger and stronger, but it has also led to a leaderless situation, and the intensity of internal friction and internal fighting will also greatly increase...
The three days he left.
It not only lets Orochimaru try this strength, but also tells Committee Member of Konoha...
The village needs him so much!!
"Why don't you speak, Danzo?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi flipped through the records, took a pen and circled a few points that interested him, and said leisurely:
"I'm asking you about Kage Guard?"
Danzo's face turned pale, and cold sweat silently covered his back.
This is the most secret Achilles heel in his heart! It is also the nightmare that will always surge in his heart for decades...
Isshin and Tenzo tried their best to put on their poker faces, not daring to show any expression...
This matter in Konoha is a topic that cannot even be mentioned!
Even Tsunade and Mito Uzumaki will avoid talking about this matter...
Although everyone knows that there is nothing wrong with Hiruzen Sarutobi. After all, he is the heir who grew up with his head touched by Hashirama and Tobirama, but this matter does have a conspiracy theory angle...
Senju Tobirama and Second Hokage died, but several people from Kage Guard survived and became high-level officials in the village. Will of Fire can certainly explain it, but the dark side of human nature also exists objectively.
Although Senju Tobirama has a good reputation in the village.
But taking the initiative to divorce Kage Guard doesn't quite fit the stereotype of him in the public mind...
"Kage Guard..."
"Kage Guard..." Danzo swallowed unconsciously, and fine beads of sweat secreted on his forehead.
The scene of that day was like an illusion, forcibly echoing in his brain again!
Orochimaru looked at this scene and was amazed.
Like a ferocious beast, No-Man was able to subdue Danzo in the Konoha Committee Member meeting...
When the teacher comes back, will he be frightened into this with just one sentence?
"I'm too far behind..." Orochimaru's eyes flickered.
However, he was also very curious about this top secret. What exactly happened back then?
"Danzo, cheer up, you are Hokage's assistant, Anbu Chief."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly, "In any situation, we must calmly examine ourselves and our problems... This is what Second told us before he died."
"You probably haven't forgotten, right?"
Danzo's heart trembled, how could he forget Teacher Tobirama's instructions before his death?
As long as he is not doing tasks outside, Danzo will stare at Senju Tobirama's photos and recall every detail of that day before going to bed every day... If he doesn't do this, then nightmares will most likely haunt him at night...
Help him remember!
"Kage Guard's duty is to protect Hokage at all costs. When encountering a strong enemy, he will not hesitate to stand in front of Hokage..." Danzo clenched his fists and responded in a low voice.
Danzo doesn't care about the conspiracy theories that have been circulating in the village...
Because the loyalty of Kage Guard members to Senju Tobirama is recognized by the vast majority of Konoha people.
Even if there are some sensitive rumors, they will not affect the overall situation...
But Danzo knew very well that he had not done his duty as Kage Guard.
Senju Tobirama chose to break because he, Hokage, has Will of Fire.
With his own life, he chose to believe in the young people in the village...
It's not that Kage Guard failed to obey Hokage's order, which means he was derelict in his duty.
The problem is.
As Kage Guard, when asked who will cut off the rear, Danzo should immediately raise his hand!
But he didn't!
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt something in his heart and was about to continue.
Torifu Akimichi jumped in front of Danzo and said loudly:
"Hokage, please let me tell you about this! After so many years, some rumors should have ended long ago!"
"It also allowed me to face my own cowardice once again, so that I can protect the village with the strongest attitude!"
Torifu Akimichi fell into inexplicable guilt due to his poor performance when Senju Tobirama stopped. He has been thinking behind closed doors for so many years... until Hiruzen Sarutobi opened " For the Sage Pill' project, it was necessary to requisition Medicine Preparation Manual from the Akimichi Clan, and Torifu came out again with the comfort of Hokage.
Now, as the head of the Akimichi Clan, he is one of the "Konoha Committee Member's"...
"Torifu, why bother?"
"Besides, I have not suffered any injustice. Justice is in the heart of the people."
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled in his heart and randomly arranged a free chess piece. Jing played a major role at this time!
Some words don't taste right when they come out of your own mouth...
We need a replacement with enough status!
"No, Hokage!"
"Please give me this opportunity. You may not care about it, but it's really important to me!"
Torifu Akimichi said firmly.
Torifu Akimichi is unbearable. When Kage Guard is mentioned, the slightly weird atmosphere fills the conference room...
So, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed lightly and nodded.
Danzo on the side felt that his body was alternately cold and hot, and his pores seemed to have been brushed by a knife blade.
An indescribable tension surged out of his heart.
Go and remember...
It is completely different from the previous client, speaking out in front of everyone!
But Danzo couldn't get angry with Torifu Akimichi...
Because he can empathize, Torifu Akimichi wants to release his guilt.
For so many years, Danzo has been doing front-line work at Root day and night.
A large part of my motivation is to make amends for my own inability to face death.
Danzo is even a little envious of Torifu Akimichi!
If he had taken the initiative to tell Hiruzen when he asked him just now, maybe he would feel much better in the future?
"Am I a step too late again?" Danzo's pupils trembled.
Torifu Akimichi took a deep breath and calmed down his mind.
Konoha Committee Members were extremely quiet, waiting with bated breath for this sudden big revelation...
"At First Shinobi World War..."
"While Second and Second Raikage were signing a peace treaty, brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku, who were in charge of security, suddenly launched a rebellion. The unprepared Second Raikage was dying on the spot, and Second was also seriously injured."
"Second led us on a raid, but after being attacked by Treasured Tools of the Sage of Six Paths, Chakra was greatly restricted. Flying Thunder God Technique is very difficult to use..."
"And brothers Kinkaku Ginkaku led the elite rebels of Kumogakure to pursue them..."
"The situation was extremely critical at that time."
Torifu Akimichi Take a deep breath:
"Yan thinks we can't handle it, but Koharu denies Yan and suggests laying an ambush and waiting for an opportunity to break through..."
"But in fact, they were all wrong. Jing's judgment was right. He said that in that situation, someone must be used as a bait to divide the troops so that others can survive!"
The original appearance of history was slowly revealed under the narration of Torifu Akimichi.
Why did Second Hokage, who controlled Flying Thunder God, die on the battlefield?
A large part of the reason is caused by Second Raikage's stupidity.
Second Raikage ignored the rebellion of Kinkaku Ginkaku, and together with Senju Tobirama, they suffered an armed rebellion like catching a turtle in a urn, and were seriously injured by a sneak attack by Treasured Tools of the Sage of Six Paths at the beginning...
"After Jing proposed this idea, everyone present including Second agreed."
"But I was frightened by the fear of death. On such an occasion, I said something like 'Whoever goes there will definitely die'!" Torifu Akimichi squeezed out these words through his teeth, as if all his strength had been exhausted.
Konoha Committee Member's expressions changed.
This statement is indeed too abstract...
Under such circumstances as sacrificing one's life and death, not only does one not encourage his companions, but he also feels discouraged?
If you talk like this, even those who have courage may become hesitant...
"No wonder Torifu Akimichi has stayed behind closed doors for so many years. Not to mention serving as a consultant, he doesn't even participate in any affairs of the village. He just lets other tribesmen act as agents..."
Orochimaru nodded slightly.
If he was so embarrassed when fighting Hanzo, he wouldn't have the courage to see the teacher...
"Everyone was silent at that time."
"I was looking at everyone's expressions, whether it was Koharu, Yan, Jing, Danzo..."
"They were all hesitant."
"But only Hokage! My companion Hiruzen Sarutobi!" Torifu Akimichi's voice suddenly became louder:
"He laughed, he actually laughed!"
"Hiruzen said with a smile, let him go! He said don't look at him like this, but he is the strongest among us! Let us not worry, he will not die..."
"Hiruzen also told Danzo that from now on everyone will be entrusted to him..."
Torifu Akimichi slowly shed two tears. "Every time I think of this scene, I just feel that I am not worthy to be Second's disciple and Hiruzen's companion!"
"What makes me even more upset is..."
"However, there are still people who slander Hiruzen because of this!"
"I must take this opportunity to tell the truth clearly..."
"I know that some of you here, your expressions did not change when Hiruzen said Kage Guard, but in your heart I am afraid that you have already remembered the rumors from back then: "I am a coward, and there are not many things that cowards can do."
"The only thing I can do is to stand up and tell everyone that we can all be called cowards, but only Hiruzen is a warrior without hesitation!"
Torifu Akimichi said slowly:
"Hiruzen is now managing the village prosperously. All Ninja Clan and ninjas work together. Even if Second is resurrected, he will be amazed after seeing it..."
"In the past, Hiruzen didn't explain the truth of this matter. Maybe he didn't care about rumors, or maybe he didn't want to irritate the hearts of our companions..."
"But we can no longer hide it now!" Torifu Akimichi suddenly shouted sharply:
"I don't allow Hiruzen to do it, because our comrades who are lagging behind have so many doubts that he doesn't care aboutⅠ
There was silence in the conference room.
Danzo, who was listening quietly on the side, had already been wet with cold sweat.
The old-school tough guy image he has always established in Konoha seems to have been destroyed at this moment!
"Danzo, I'm sorry." Torifu Akimichi said.
Danzo didn't say anything, he just tightened his expression and waved his hands in slight pain.
Show yourself that it's okay...
Torifu ruined his Persona and image.
But Danzo couldn't hate him, because deep down he thought so too...
Hiruzen, your reputation should not be dragged down by them because of this incident...
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura sighed deeply and walked to Torifu.
"What Torifu said is exactly the same as the scene back then." Mitokado Homura said in a low voice.
Utatane Koharu said softly, "Hiruzen and Second argued several times and insisted on serving as bait..."
"But Second said that each generation has its own mission."
"Tell Hiruzen not to be anxious. He said that his time will come. Let him protect the ninjas who admire the village and train them until they can be entrusted to the next era. In the name of Hokage, he forcibly ordered Hiruzen to take us to retreat..."
This matter is also a knot in their hearts.
Konoha Committee Member watched Hokage silently...
Since then, the Kage Guard conspiracy theory has been self-defeating.
This can barely be regarded as a small black spot buried in Hiruzen Sarutobi...
And the next focus.
It's about the comparison between Uchiha Yashiro and Danzo, Utatane Koharu and others...
Hiruzen Sarutobi is of course no problem.
As Kage Guard, he immediately wanted to rush out as bait, and even fought with Senju Tobirama several times...
And Senju Tobirama, in the name of Hokage and Will of Fire, forcibly ordered to retreat, could he still refuse to listen?
There's nothing right or wrong here, it's just that Senju Tobirama's Will of Fire is burning...
But it's different for others...
Senju Tobirama can break up, but as Kage Guard, their duty is to raise their hands as soon as possible!
But they didn't...
"Danzo, did you fulfill your duties Kage Guard?"
Danzo murmured at the corner of his mouth. At this moment, Darkness of the Shinobi seemed to become very fragile, and shook his head in an unnoticeable manner.
"Koharu, Yan, Torifu, what about you?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said softly.
The three of them lined up in a row, shaking their heads silently in front of Hokage as if they were students waiting for reprimand.
The atmosphere at the scene became weird...
Isshin and Tenzo looked at each other. If Hiruzen Sarutobi deprived these three people of their authority at this moment, no one would stop them... even many people would applaud!
Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a sharp look.
When he was on stage, he was disgusted by Danzo, and now he's back off stage!
Just when Orochimaru was about to speak, he met Hiruzen Sarutobi's serious eyes.
Orochimaru thought for a while and closed her mouth tightly.
According to common sense, he was right to add insult to injury at this moment.
But the problem is that his teacher does not think like an ordinary ninja, and I can't guess what he is thinking...
"Teacher Tobirama broke off the queen for us back then..."
"The core is that he believes that when we grow up, we can become the mainstay of Konoha in the next era. This is full of trust in us..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up slowly, with a lit cigarette in his hand.
Through the smoke, he stared at the photo of Tobirama in the conference room.
"For a long time, like you, I often dream about Teacher Tobirama at night."
"Because I also fell into fear, a fear more terrifying than death. From the moment I became Hokage, I was extremely worried that I had failed Teacher Tobirama and failed to become the Hokage he wanted..."
"I told Orochimaru and Tsunade that I was once tortured by this fear and couldn't control myself. My biggest dream at that time was to fight the enemy to death on the battlefield..."
"In this way, you can get a good reputation as someone who sacrificed your life for the village, and you can also be relieved of this burden."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said softly.
But these words hit everyone's heart like a heavy stone.
It turns out that Lord Hokage, who is so powerful, had a fragile side in the past?
"You may be thinking, why did I change?"
"Because I figured out one thing..."
"Teacher Tobirama protects me because he hopes that I can do my best and not never make mistakes."
"Making mistakes is a normal part of growth... It's not scary to make mistakes. What's scary is that you worry about making mistakes and lose your courage to be diligent and courageous. You are trapped in the status quo and don't even dare to do the right thing!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly:
"Teacher Tobirama said that we should cultivate the next generation so that they can become ninjas who will entrust the new era..."
"So, we must be able to tolerate the ninjas in the village making mistakes, as long as it is not a major issue of principle."
"If you make a mistake, you must use the most severe punishment. This is not only inconsistent with Teacher Tobirama's Will of Fire, but also inconsistent with the normal growth trajectory of a normal ninja."
"Ninjas are "people" who need to be tolerated with patience and love as they grow up, rather than tools that need to be discarded if they don't fit." "If we extend it to Tool Theory, does that mean that Hokage, the ninjas who have been hostile to the village, and Ninja Clan, should be treated with capital punishment?"
"But if this is the case, where does Will of Fire exist? What is the significance of establishing Konoha?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes fell on Isshin and Tenzo in turn, and he paused.
This made these two old fritters shocked.
They are old school ninjas with support for Tool Theory...
But Hokage's words shocked them.
Hyuga and Uchiha, both of them have had conflicts with the village both openly and secretly...
If according to Tool Theory's thinking, Ninja Clan is nothing more than a large ninja, then Hokage is right to kill these disobedient ninjas. "Lord Hokage, Isshin fully approves of you!"
"Lord Hokage, Hyuga Clan will always follow your footsteps closely!"
Isshin and Tenzo said loudly, with expressions of fear and joy.
What's scary is that I always insist on Tool Theory, but I don't see the threat of this argument to my own Ninja Clan...
Fortunately, Hokage is Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly:
"Back to Danzo, Yan, Koharu, Torifu... they did hesitate at the time."
"But I think that's just because we encountered the extreme case of Kinkaku Ginkaku killing Second Raikage. We were originally thinking of peace talks but suddenly encountered a life-or-death crisis."
"If we let them be quiet, maybe in just a few more moments, I believe each of them will have the belief to sacrifice."
"We cannot ask ninjas not to hesitate or fear when faced with a life-or-death crisis... This is a natural human reaction, and this is not a mistake."
"But I absolutely believe that every Konoha Ninja dares to fight with their lives against the enemies who invade the village!"
Danzo and others were stunned.
Hiruzen is actually solving the problem for them?
"For example, Danzo, after I said I wanted to break up, he also stood up..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Danzo: "But Danzo, if Teacher Tobirama looked at you with a tool mentality, would you be able to live to this day? "I'm not saying that you will be cut off, but that in the process of our growth, Teacher Tobirama has tolerated our mistakes many times, so that we can continue to make progress and make small achievements."
"As you said, if you can't complete the task once, you will die. Your soul returned to Pure Land when you were ten years old."
Danzo said hesitantly, "However, Uchiha Yashiro brought heavy losses to Land of Fire!"
"You cannot ask an individual to bear extreme circumstances... Even if you encounter the mysterious ninja Uchiha Yashiro encounters, you can guarantee that you will be able to protect Ancient Mirror?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head noncommittally:
"If the ninja mission fails, accountability must be pursued."
"But when determining responsibility, we don't look at the final loss, but only whether we fulfilled our responsibilities and tried our best... If the loss is caused by excessive external forces and has nothing to do with personal behavior, the results cannot be used to infer culpability."
"Such losses should be borne by the village."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly:
"Using collective strength to make up for individual limitations, isn't it the meaning of Konoha?"
"As for Yashiro protecting his companions, it has nothing to do with whether he can protect Copper Mirror in the end... It is just a subconscious action to protect his companions, and it is meaningless to go online."
"You were in a meeting... so let's continue the meeting?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced around at the Konoha Committee Member present, and took a puff of his cigarette:
"If there are any issues, let's talk about them now. Three days of meetings is enough. Let's set the tone today."
"I said something ugly in the first place. If I don't talk about it in the meeting and then question it to the ninjas, then the nature of the problem will be very serious..." The Konoha Committee Members were silent for a moment and slowly applauded their Hokages!
No one objects, and they all agree with Hiruzen Sarutobi from the bottom of their hearts...
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled slightly and raised the meeting minutes in his hand.
"Your meeting was a complete mess, like a shrew cursing..."
"But it's okay, the red faces and sweating between each other can be regarded as strengthening the relationship."
"This is my Itinerary Summary in Land of Fire, regarding Nobles's donation, tax base, further distribution of Sage Land Pill and sales of Sage Cosmetics, as well as the new version of the mission details reached by Konoha and Nobles."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took out a notebook, which he summarized on the way.
With a finger, Itinerary Summary turned into twenty copies.
The principle is similar to "Shuriken·Shadow Clone Technique'
Hizashi distributed it with understanding, and he was too busy to read it attentively.
This is Lord Hokage's handwriting!
Upon seeing this, Hizashi and Nara Shikayama, who were responsible for recording, looked up in surprise.
What Hiruzen Sarutobi did by Itinerary Summary is meticulous and clear in order of priority. It is obvious that he has a very deep foundation!
However, this is not what Hiruzen Sarutobi gained from practicing in Shinobi World, but his old foundation.
"As expected of Lord Hokage..." Nara Shikayama said sincerely.
After a while.
Konoha Committee Member slowly closed Itinerary Summary, their eyes full of shock.
During the three days they were wrangling...
Lord Hokage actually went to Land of Fire to do such a big thing?
The total amount of donations alone is close to one billion, coupled with Sage Land Pill's increased production and the estimated preliminary sales of cosmetics, it means that Konoha's fiscal revenue has doubled again this year!
And it can be seen with the naked eye that the allocation from Land of Fire to Konoha will also increase next year...
"Teacher, what does it mean that you have become Land of Fire General of the Nation? In wartime, you are in charge of all treasuries, and you can investigate and handle illegal Nobles on the spot on your own?"
Orochimaru I feel like there are several question marks popping up above my head.
You have too many things to do these days, right?
Even if you don't count the output value brought by "Sage Land Pill' and other scientific research products...
He made nearly one billion taels back just from donations, and he became Land of Fire, who is in charge of everything, Grand General?
Killing a Nobles is not a big deal to a ninja.
But it can promote in-depth cooperation between Nobles and ninjas, and use the system and system to make Nobles willing to pay and cooperate, and even regard Hokage as a member of their own system...
But he is the first person to do so in thousands of years!
There is an essential difference between forced and voluntary, and the benefits and stability are very different.
Orochimaru's doubts are naturally also the doubts of other Committee Members...
We haven't seen each other for three days. Lord Hokage has become General of the Nation?
Is this right!
"Literally..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi raised the corners of his mouth:
"Land of Fire's Nobles all recognize Konoha's Will of Fire, and strongly support the in-depth cooperation between Ninja and Nobles to become a close and inseparable whole."
"I actually refused to give me this title, but Nobless are too enthusiastic..."
"It's okay if they shout like that, I will always be Konoha's Hokage."
Hearing this, Danzo's eyes darkened.
He was still thinking about when he could catch up with Hiruzen!!
Even if he becomes Hokage, what will happen if Hiruzen abdicates and changes course to become a general?
Just when Danzo was having random thoughts.
His eyes collided with Hiruzen Sarutobi, and several fragments suddenly appeared in his mind...
Hiruzen seemed to have reminded him several times to pay attention to Root's past problems?
But he didn't take it seriously and excused himself.
At this moment, Danzo realized that Hiruzen had actually told him a long time ago that he would put an end to Root's mess!
Just like Orochimaru and Iburi, Tsuchigumo Clan...
If you go to talk to Hiruzen, how could there be any impeachment of "Aosui' him later?"
"What on earth am I thinking! Why don't you listen to Hiruzen?" Danzo let out a sullen breath, wishing he could go back in time and give himself a punch!
He is not a child and knows that Hiruzen cannot handle everything for him.
You can't even notice the problem, so what are you doing Hokage?
Danzo couldn't help but feel regretful. If he had listened to Hiruzen earlier, he should be the one presiding over Konoha these days, not Orochimaru! "This is what Hiruzen taught me! Just like Lord Tobirama said, train me to be a person who can be entrusted to the next era."
"I'm so disappointed!" Danzo's face turned red and blue.
He also thought that in the sensitive matter of Kage Guard, Hiruzen could also mention that he also said that he wanted to break up...
It has already exhausted all benevolence and righteousness.
And at this moment.
Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly, "Danzo, do you know you are wrong?"
Danzo said without hesitation, "Hokage, I was wrong! I am willing to bear all punishment! Please give me instructions!"
Konoha Committee Member looked at Danzo in surprise.
This is the first time they have seen Danzo admit his mistakes, in person!
But it's unreasonable and expected...
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with satisfaction.
"There is no need for punishment..."
"Root was established too early, and the environment at that time was relatively complicated. It is considered a problem left over from history."
"I, Hokage, failed to supervise you, and I am also responsible. I have talked with the members of Root, and everyone in Root is relieved that they received compensation and Medal personally awarded by Lady Mito."
"The new Root has been re-formed, but unlike before, the members are no longer people who give up everything... but heroes with special talents who are willing to immerse themselves in darkness for the village!"
"Danzo, this is the last time."
"I won't argue with you about historical issues, but if you violate Will of Fire again..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed slightly tiredly:
"Hiruzen beheaded Danzo with tears, which makes people feel uncomfortable, but please supervise me!"
Danzo felt like his heart was shaking.
It turns out that Hiruzen has already done everything for him? He also invited Lady Mito...
This feeling is far more important than dealing with Iburi and Tsuchigumo Clan for Orochimaru!
"I'm such a loser!" Rarely, Danzo cursed himself in his heart.
He loudly said seriously:
"If I do it again, Lord Hokage, please be my Kaishakunin!"
"I will never let you down!"
"It's not that you're failing me, you're failing the village and Will of Fire!" Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head slightly.
"Also, I don't have to talk to you one by one. I'm not used to it. I always feel like I'm Teacher Tobirama..."
Hearing this, Danzo was startled.
He really felt this way just now...
Obviously he and Hiruzen are eternal rivals!
"In order to prevent the recurrence of extreme situations, I plan to take 5% of the mission commissions of the ninjas and establish Emergency Risk Fund Pool, named Konoha Mutual Aid Fund."
"If another incident like Yashiro happens, we will allocate funds from it."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly, "But the village must also provide subsidies, the amount is also 5% of the commission, and set up personal special accounts for forced savings for the ninjas."
"It can only be used when it comes to medical treatment, Ninja Tool, emergency needs on the battlefield, weddings and funerals."
Nara Shikayama's heart moved.
Today, Konoha's total annual mission is around 15 billion taels...
The village subsidy is 5%, which is 800 million taels including redundancy.
As for "Sage Land Pill's" production expansion and cosmetics project input, it is conservatively estimated to be an increase of 2.2 billion taels...
This does not include the cash flow from Nobles's donation...
No problem affording it!
"Lord Hokage, I fully support this plan!"
"In this way, the ninjas have no losses, but they have a system to protect themselves when the mission fails..."
"Compared to simply handing out money, individuals need to contribute money to strengthen their sense of belonging to the village, and the village has the initiative to respond to emergencies. If there is a catastrophic disaster or huge loss, there is no need for temporary allocation, and the system will directly solve it!"
"Not only that, but forced savings can also be used to protect the bad consumption habits of the ninjas. The percentage subsidy rules are also conducive to the enthusiasm of going on missions..."
Nara Shikayama shook his head intoxicatedly as he spoke.
As a wise general, hearing about such a system always feels like drinking fine wine...
Hiruzen Sarutobi also cast an approving look at Nara Shikayama.
Shinobi World, there are smart people!
One of the few people in the mental hospital who can communicate...
After Nara Shikayama explained it like this, many "warrior" type Konoha Committee Member came to understand it belatedly.
So that's what happened!
"Let me know..."
"Three days later, during dinner time in the evening, I will use Crystal Ball Technique to talk to all the ninjas in the village."
"I hope they sit by the warm fireplace, eat hot meals, and listen to me Hokage talk to them about home life with their families..."
"There have been some disturbances in the village, and I want to reassure everyone. If I can explain some of the new welfare and task systems, they will trust me more."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly, "Including some pain points collected by Committee Member, I also want to talk to you about the situation of Shinobi World..."
"Let's call it Hokage's Fireside Chat!"
"This system must be maintained for a long time and be carried out from time to time. I want my voice to be heard by the ninjas, and I also want to let the ninjas know that Hokage can hear their voices..."
"I will also have a certain Committee Member accompany me from time to time to talk with the ninjas."
"Danzo, you have to be prepared!"
Danzo asked subconsciously, "Me?"
"Yes, it's you."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said seriously, "For one thing, you not only need to review it with me, but you also need to conduct self-reflection with the whole Konoha Ninja and get everyone's understanding."
"Second, Mutual Aid Fund is the common property of the whole village of ninjas, so from now on, each Committee Member will be responsible for reviewing the claim report. You will take the lead, and together with Orochimaru and Sakumo, you will form Core Evaluation Team to conduct spot checks..."
"Your reputation in the village is relatively special, and it can deter some bad practices." Hiruzen Sarutobi joked.
Hizashi couldn't help but nodded. He just wanted to say, don't underestimate the evil of human nature!
I'm afraid that Lord Hokage is too kind and will be taken advantage of by some ninjas with ulterior motives...
And if the ninjas know that their mission failure reports may be randomly checked by Danzo...
So the desire to do bad things cannot be said to be completely extinguished, but it is almost zero.
This is the special usage of Darkness of the Shinobi!
"Such an important power cannot be given to Danzo alone, and Sakumo and I can restrain him. The teacher has considered it very carefully..." Orochimaru thought to himself.
And Danzo was pleasantly surprised.
Hiruzen did not abandon him, but gave him a mission that he had to do and that No-Man could take over.
As for apologizing...
What's the point of just giving in to those ninjas for Hiruzen's sake?
It should!

Three days later.
In the evening, the twilight shrouds Konoha in warm light.
The usually bustling village was silent.
Hiko is burning in the fireplace in every household, and the food has been placed on the table, but no one has touched their chopsticks.
The family sat around the fire and waited with bated breath.
The whole village was waiting quietly for the sound of Hokage.
However, there are always people who are impatient.
For example, an enthusiastic citizen Mr. Madara who wishes to remain anonymous is Konoha.
He was frowning, grilling meat, connecting to White Zetsu Brand Radio, and said unhappily:
"Why haven't you started yet?"
