...Therefore, the budget request for the third-phase expansion of the "Flying Thunder God Logistics Network" is approved. Meeting adjourned."
Hiroki expressionlessly brought down the gavel—something he had forcibly demanded from Orochimaru. To make things difficult for him, it had to be a custom-made piece exactly three feet three inches long, not a centimeter more or less—bringing the three-hour-long meeting to an end.
Watching the elders and department heads flee the meeting room as though they had been granted amnesty, he finally let out a breath and collapsed into the Hokage's seat, feeling like a dried-up salted fish.
Damn it, why were there so many meetings every day...
Hadn't he sworn that once he became a leader, he would never waste time talking nonsense in meetings...
Why had he only realized after becoming a leader that there were so many things that needed to be addressed...
"System, calculate how much nonsense I said today."
[According to statistics, during this meeting, you used meaningless phrases such as "mm," "ah," and "we'll discuss this later" a total of 412 times. The proportion of useful information output was below 17%.]
This was the meeting assistant newly developed after he became Hokage. It tracked exactly how much nonsense he said.
Hiroki sighed weakly. Did he want to say those things...
But once he had actually become a leader, Hiroki realized that with a whole crowd staring at him, many of the proposals were ones he had never even read, and the questions came one after another without any model answers...
When he had to come up with answers and solutions on the spot, all he could do was go "mm, mm, mm" and "ah, ah, ah"...
He tugged at the Hokage's robe, a symbol of supreme authority, and only felt uncomfortable all over.
