The Nascent Embodiment of the Will of Fire
"Any questions?"
"We have discussed everything, and it is all for the village." Hiruzen Sarutobi said.
Naturally, no one thought it was impossible, but they were a little panicked.
Is this still how ninjas should be treated?
"The next item is the subsidy for ninjas who have been in difficult positions for a long time."
"Danzo, it's your turn."
He is now the director of the entire Anbu, so this naturally belongs to his section.
Shimura Danzō nodded, picked up the document and glanced at it. "Anbu, Konoha Police Force, Patrol Force, and outside intelligence organizations--"
"The specific list is 349 people, calculated based on a subsidy of one million taels per person--"
"In addition, Anbu's equipment and intelligence costs also need to be upgraded, totaling 500 million."
Compared to others, Danzo is too lazy to explain redundancy.
He felt a little sorry for the vain money--
In the past, at Root, just slap Cursed Seal on the tongue, do a little brainwashing, and give it food and clothing!
But Danzo knows that if he dares to say that, then Hiruzen will definitely make him fly--
This person is too strong in this area now!
Danzo thinks Hiruzen will regret it, but there is no opportunity so far, so it's not convenient to say--
Of course there is no doubt about this.
As long as Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't speak, no one is willing to compete with Shimura Danzō--
At least not yet.
"The next item is public facilities expenses."
"Add Training Ground, recuperate Hot Spring, and according to Maruboshi Kosuke Committee Member's proposal, make targeted improvements to some Chunin commonly used ninjutsu, two hundred million."
"And, for some pilot projects that absorb Land of Fire but not Konoha Ninja Clan, two hundred million." Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru looked at each other.
"They will not enter the official Konoha Ninja sequence immediately. They need to conduct an inspection. The village hopes to supplement the combat population."
"Orochimaru You are responsible."
This part of the money is mainly for Iburi and Tsuchigumo Clan.
And Iburi Clan, who is also the mother clan of Yamato, can be regarded as cleaning up the mess for his beloved disciple.
To put it bluntly, Konoha needs to solve some historical problems and replenish the combat population.
We are about to prepare for the Land of Fire version of labor dispatch!
And this is also necessary.
The tasks are limited. If you include them all hastily, on the one hand it will affect the original Konoha Ninja, on the other hand it will not form an effective combat system in the short term.
The strategy of "selecting the best from the best" is also conducive to the pride of the native Konoha Ninja.
For this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi has another layer of arrangement.
This is also a pilot project for absorbing Kirigakure and even ninjas from all parties in the future, and initially establishing a pre-screening mechanism for Konoha Green Card".
So far, two-thirds of the 3.2 billion yuan has been allocated.
"Yes, teacher!" Orochimaru simply stood up and responded.
Of course he knows what Hiruzen Sarutobi is thinking, Iburi Clan is one of the stains on him--
Washing it off yourself is naturally the best.
Otherwise, Shimura Danzō, his former accomplice, will sooner or later make a fuss about this matter!
Even though Danzo and he were once in the same boat, Orochimaru never overestimated the logic of Darkness of the Shinobi.
"The last step is the expansion and reproduction of the Konoha industry and the investment in scientific research projects."
"This is 600 million--"
Orochimaru was a little surprised. He thought the investment in scientific research would be higher.
But 600 million is a large enough general resource.
"Shinnosuke, I will requisition 90% of your wife's dowry first."
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly said, "To add to the village's scientific research investment, I will personally sponsor and transfer some from the Sarutobi Clan, and we will collect one billion in scientific research funds."
Shinnosuke is also the eldest son of Hiruzen Sarutobi. At the moment, Anbu is standing guard.
He was not selected for Konoha Committee Member.
"Father, requisition is fine, but I don't have a wife--" Shinnosuke said with a confused look on his face.
"Then do you want one?"
"I think so. In fact, I'm quite old and don't want to live at home all the time."
Shinnosuke replied humorously, "Asuma is quite annoying. Tenten talks about his Azure Dragon Gang--"
"Okay, then find a time and go to Land of Fire to bring back Daimyo's daughter--"
"Remember to be polite. If you are short of money, ask your mother for it. She still has plenty.
Shinnosuke took off the mask, as if he could fit an egg into his mouth. "Huh?"
"No, father, you sold it to me, right?"
"The village will remember your contribution, Shinnosuke."
Hiruzen Sarutobi also replied humorously, "But I have to remind you, kid, you are not that expensive."
For a time, this common conversation made the atmosphere at the scene extremely cordial.
It seems that everyone has become a family, discussing the wedding of the younger generation--
"Shinnosuke, don't worry, we will give you a gift!" Hizashi Hyuga said with a smile.
"Yes, tell Sakumo Deputy Chief, how many do you want?" Jiraiya shouted loudly.
Hatake Sakumo waved his hand boldly. "Double of Jiraiya!"
For a moment, the Konoha Committee Members all seemed to have turned into the ladies and gentlemen at the east end of the village, speaking to each other.
Suddenly, Shimura Danzō said, "Okay--"
When the scene was quiet, everyone thought that Hokage was assisting and that the order was a bit out of control.
Danzo coughed slightly. "Don't rob me, I'll pay for the wedding."
For a time, the quiet scene became even more lively.
Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi whispered, "Why didn't you tell me? I still have some, so I won't use the dowry, right?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi waved, motioning for Danzo to come over, lowered his voice and said, "If you don't say that, how can it appear that I, Hokage, give everything I have?"
After saying that, he bumped Danzo with his shoulder and raised his eyebrows.
Danzo smiled hoho.
Hiruzen, you guy, you are too embarrassed to contribute to the village--
Is it intentional to say that it's an invitation to buy people's hearts?
What a duplicitous guy!
At this point, the expenses for the first batch of Sage Pill worth 3.2 billion taels have been clearly allocated.
In the end, the remaining 200 million in working capital was integrated into the village's original capital pool.
Hiruzen Sarutobi also emphasized that in the next allocation, priority will be given to Orochimaru's ninjutsu research.
After all, scientific research has long-term results. Even if you invest it all at once, there is a high probability that there will be no results.
Therefore, the first batch of funds should be used to solve visible problems first, and the rest should be invested in scientific research as much as possible.
Orochimaru looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Teacher, you really support him!
In fact, he had already made a secret calculation -
He was actually in charge of labor dispatch and the 300 to 400 million yuan spent on the improvement of ninjutsu.
Even if it is not counted as a subsidy paid by Hiruzen Sarutobi himself.
Coupled with the original scientific research funds, the money he handled was enough to compare with the pension of the entire village--
"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand. "Everyone is tired.
And when Konoha Committee Members walked out of the room.
Shinnosuke smiled and held up sets of uniforms and distributed them to everyone who went out.
It is similar to the ordinary Konoha Ninja uniform, except that the sleeves have lines that look like Haori.
It is Konoha Committee Member"'s exclusive clothing.
Clothing that represents identity is conducive to improving Konoha Committee Member"'s identity and sense of belonging--
Hiruko immediately put on this suit of clothes and touched the half-sleeves happily.
He is still thinking, how can he let others know in a subtle and elegant way that he is Konoha Committee Member"?
Just being a ninja is not enough, you have to let the auntie Tanzaku Town who sells vegetables also know--
Lord Hokage, I really thought of everyone's heart--
Everyone turned around and wanted to thank Hiruzen Sarutobi for the special arrangement.
But I saw a scene that left a deep impression on me.
The setting sun splashed down, and the fire-like light was entangled with wisps of smoke, swirling around him like fallen leaves.
Just like where Konoha is flying, the fire is also the embodiment of endless life--
Hiruzen Sarutobi leaned back on the chair relaxedly and looked up at the sky, seeming to be observing the swirling smoke.
And at this time.
A team from Konoha Patrol Force is battling wits with Namikaze Minato who conducts a surprise inspection.
Uchiha Hono looked around vigilantly and murmured, "No, I felt that kid's Chakra - but why did he suddenly disappear?"
