You Have the Potential to be Hokage

Yakushi Nonō was quickly taken away by Chiwa, but Natsuki, who should have left with them, remained behind.

"Natsuki, is there something else you need?"

Tsunade looked at him and asked.

When Chiwa introduced Yakushi Nonō just now, she had also mentioned Natsuki's situation in passing.

In summary, he had no talent for medical ninjutsu.

"Lady Tsunade."

Natsuki deliberated before asking, "Nonō is currently a student at the Ninja Academy; will learning medical ninjutsu cause any conflict?"

"She is young, so there is no need to rush; she should prioritize her studies at the Ninja Academy first."

Tsunade pondered for a moment and said, "She can just come to Konoha Hospital after school or on weekends."

"Lady Tsunade, I have a suggestion."

Natsuki continued.

"What suggestion?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Do you think medical ninjas are important?"

Natsuki countered with a question.

"Naturally, they are very important."

Tsunade said without hesitation.

"But Konoha does not place enough importance on medical ninjas."

Natsuki shook his head and said.

"If you have a suggestion, feel free to speak directly."

Tsunade suddenly realized something and asked with interest.

She had initially thought Natsuki was worried about Yakushi Nonō's studies, but it seemed that wasn't entirely the case.

"I hope that Konoha can establish a Medical Ninja Training Class."

Upon hearing this, Natsuki stated his objective, "Let those students who want to learn medical ninjutsu join the Medical Ninja Training Class."

Tsunade couldn't help but let out a soft sound of surprise.

It had to be said that this was a very good suggestion.

She thought of Yakushi Nonō.

Because there were no channels to learn medical ninjutsu, Natsuki had to come up with a makeshift solution, which was to post a mission.

If Natsuki hadn't thought of this method, Yakushi Nonō would have had to wait until after graduation to learn medical ninjutsu.

But even after graduation, it would still be difficult to learn it.

That would depend on whether the team leader assigned to her by Konoha happened to be a medical ninja.

Tsunade suddenly realized that Konoha's medical ninja training system was practically non-existent.

"In addition, we could also make it mandatory to have one medical ninja in every ninja squad."

Natsuki added, "Once these students graduate from the Medical Ninja Training Class, they can join."

To better complete missions, Konoha had a regulation that ninjas must operate in three-man squads.

However, aside from the number of members, there were no strict requirements for the composition of these ninja squads.

Tsunade's expression tightened upon hearing this.

She was a very intelligent medical ninja.

These two suggestions from Natsuki would undoubtedly bring great benefits to Konoha's current medical ninja training system.

"You are six years old this year?"

Tsunade came back to her senses and asked.

"I just turned six in March."

Natsuki replied.

"These two suggestions of yours are excellent."

A smile appeared on Tsunade's face, "To use the Hokage's words, at such a young age, you are already able to think about problems from the perspective of the Hokage."

In the original story, Hiruzen Sarutobi used this same phrase to praise the seven-year-old Uchiha Itachi.

Children in the Ninja World were all very precocious.

The earlier one displayed mature thinking or extraordinary talent, the more they would be called a genius or someone with the potential to be Hokage.

This was also why Natsuki dared to propose these two suggestions at the age of six.

"Come find me again tomorrow."

Tsunade stood up and said, "I am going to the Hokage office to discuss this matter with the teacher."

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

Natsuki suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded.

The plan had been implemented perfectly.

However, that was not unexpected.

These two suggestions were originally proposed by Tsunade herself.

Natsuki suddenly thought of another question: would Hiruzen Sarutobi agree?

Because in the original story, when Tsunade first proposed it, she faced opposition.

Only Dan Katō stood up to support her, and they became a couple because of it.

Natsuki thought about it carefully.

Clearly, it wasn't that the suggestions were bad, but that they were in the middle of the Second Ninja World War at the time, making them impossible to implement.

Because after the war ended, these two suggestions received strong support from Konoha.

But now, it was still early before the Second Ninja World War, so Hiruzen Sarutobi would likely agree.

Thinking of this, Natsuki breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as his suggestions were approved, he would gain Tsunade's favor and protection.

At the very least, he wouldn't have to worry about Shimura Danzō anymore.

As for Dan Katō, he could only wish him good luck.

After all, Natsuki was a kind-hearted person; he couldn't bear to see Tsunade become a widow.

He shook his head and put away his messy thoughts.

With Yakushi Nonō gaining Tsunade's approval, her strength would surely advance by leaps and bounds, and he couldn't afford to fall behind.

Natsuki arrived at a nearby Training Ground and began to learn his Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique.

Although this Earth Release was D-rank, he was self-studying it, so progress was very slow.

Meanwhile, Tsunade arrived at the Hokage office.

At this time, she was not as casual as she was in the original story.

After knocking on the door and receiving permission, she walked in.

"Teacher."

Tsunade got straight to the point and brought up the two suggestions Natsuki had proposed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi fell into deep thought after listening.

The suggestions were excellent, but as the Hokage, he had to consider all aspects.

For example, how much additional expenditure would Konoha incur after establishing the Medical Ninja Training Class?

"I agree."

Hiruzen Sarutobi ultimately gave his consent.

Although it would cost more money, the increase in medical ninjas outweighed the disadvantages.

Most importantly, Konoha now had the ability to afford this expense.

After all, more than a decade had passed since the end of the last ninja war.

From the current perspective, there were no signs of the next ninja war yet.

"Where do you intend to start?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked again.

"I will start by setting up the Medical Ninja Training Class, and the location will be at Konoha Hospital," Tsunade replied. "I will select students from the Ninja Academy and the Genin."

"It seems you already have a plan."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a chuckle, "I will leave this matter to you. I hope it can improve the current shortage of medical ninjas in Konoha."

"I understand."

Tsunade paused, then added, "These two suggestions were proposed by Natsuki."

"Natsuki?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in surprise, "Are you talking about Natsuki from First Grade Class A?"

"Yes."

Tsunade nodded, then said with some surprise, "So you had already noticed him, Teacher."

"He placed fourth in the final exams, so I have an impression of him."

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked curiously, "Why would he come to you to propose these two suggestions?"

"It concerns Nonō."

Tsunade briefly explained the sequence of events.

After listening, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt as if he had struck gold.

To think it even came with a medical Ninja genius as a bonus?

Wonderful!

What Hiruzen Sarutobi loved most were the bonds between geniuses.

Because this was one of the manifestations of the Will of Fire.

"When you see him tomorrow, ask him on my behalf what reward he wants."

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and said.

Truth be told, Natsuki's two suggestions were a great contribution.

As the Hokage, he had always been clear about rewards and punishments.

Tsunade nodded.

In fact, even if Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't mentioned it, she would have asked anyway.
