After the Hokage succession ceremony, Iori, as the new Hokage, summoned the Jonin of Konoha.
Inside the meeting room, the Jonin entered one after another, their gazes occasionally sweeping over the two mysterious figures behind Iori, who were dressed in black robes and wore hoods.
Iori stood up and addressed the ninjas below, saying, "At this meeting, I will thoroughly restructure Konoha. I believe you all already have a premonition."
The room fell silent Jonin stared intently at him, awaiting his next words.
Iori continued, "Let me introduce two people first: the First Hokage and the Second Hokage. You can take off your black robes now."
He turned around and gestured to the men in black robes behind him. They slowly removed their hoods, revealing two familiar faces.
The black-haired man laughed loudly, "Hahaha, it's really heartwarming to see so many energetic young people these days!"
The white-haired man said coldly, "Brother, be quiet. The younger generation is watching."
Tsunade and the others in the front row remained calm, clearly already aware of the resurrection of the two Hokage.
However, the ninjas behind them couldn't remain calm and immediately erupted into chaos.
"Is this the First Hokage? And isn't the one next to him the Second?"
" Lord Tobirama, you've actually come back to life?"
"That familiar tone... it really is Lord Hashirama."
Looking at the noisy crowd, Iori frowned slightly. He took a deep breath and released his Chakra. The powerful force surged around like a tide, instantly silencing the entire venue.
"They were temporarily resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, not as real living people. However, I am developing a new Ninjutsu, the Heroic Spirit Incarnation Jutsu."
"It can materialize the souls of powerful individuals and summon them to the mortal world. Although they are not living people, they can eat and sleep, and are not much different from living people."
"The prerequisite for receiving this technique is at least Jonin. Once the slots are released, you can exchange them for merit points. You will need to provide the Chakra consumed during the duration of the technique yourself."
"In addition, those who are not strong enough can also be temporarily resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu to meet again. However, Impure World Reincarnation is not a good thing for the dead, so it is best not to be resurrected for too long."
"Because the Impure World Reincarnation requires sacrifices, even if you learn this Ninjutsu, you are not allowed to use it privately. You need to apply for and report it to the village."
The ninjas below were immediately excited. Even Tsunade, Fugaku, and the others, who already knew about this Ninjutsu, could not contain their excitement.
The wars in the Ninja World have never ceased, and almost no ninja is without regrets. With the help of this Ninjutsu, many regrets can be made up for.
"In addition, the exchange of merit points for ninjutsu has been officially opened. I don't intend to restrict the acquisition channels for low- to mid-level ninjutsu. Chunin and Genin can exchange their mission count for Five Elements Release Techniques below Rank B."
"The various departments of Konoha will also be reorganized to prepare for the new plan."
"Ninjas will be divided into two parts: daily ninjas and combat ninjas. The two systems will operate in parallel and will not be subordinate to each other."
"A ninja's class will be certified through a certificate system, and it is possible to obtain two certificates simultaneously. There are no Genin ninjas) for combat ninjas; they start from Chunin."
"Missions will be divided into combat missions and life missions, and your eligibility to accept missions will be determined based on your certifications."
Iori explained in detail.
"Are those enough life-sustaining tasks? Aren't all the life-sustaining tasks D-rank now? Relying on these tasks won't be enough to make a living, will it?"
One of the Jonin raised an objection.
"Regarding life tasks, they will no longer be limited to level D. We will reclassify the levels based on the nature and difficulty of the tasks and provide corresponding rewards."
"Based on the research department's findings, there will be more and more life-related tasks. Right now, there is only one fixed long-term C-level task, which is to recharge the Chakra battery."
" Konoha's new departments now mainly consist of the following departments:"
"Medical Department, Department Head Tsunade, Vice Department Yakushi Nonō."
"Research Department, Head Orochimaru, Advisor Tobirama Senju."
" Konoha Military Police Force, Commander: Fugaku Uchiha, Vice Commander: Hyuga Hiashi."
"Administrative Department, Minister Shikaku Nara, Advisor Tobirama Senju."
"Military Headquarters, Minister Minato Namikaze, Vice Minister Shisui Uchiha."
"Ministry of Education, I will concurrently serve as Minister."
"Which department you join will be up to your own wishes, and we hope you will take this seriously."
"The meeting is adjourned. Ministers, please stay behind."
After announcing the reforms, Iori ended the meeting, and most of the Jonin left the venue, leaving only the individuals he had mentioned in charge.
Looking at the group of people in front of him, Iori said earnestly, "I won't interfere too much with the details of Konoha from now on. I'll leave the specific affairs to you all. My focus will be on developing the other world."
"We'll have to rely on Orochimaru to digest the results of our exploration of this other world."
Orochimaru nodded, his excitement evident.
" Tsunade, I won't interfere much in the Ministry of Education's affairs, but the core principle remains unchanged: the unification and peace of the Ninja World cannot be altered. Other matters are open to interpretation."
Tsunade thought about it for a moment and indicated that she understood.
" The Konoha Military Police Force, administration department, and medical department will continue as they were last year. As for the military department, Minato, please keep a close eye on that mysterious person who manipulates the Nine-Tails."
The others nodded in agreement. Minato, unusually, revealed a murderous intent; he would absolutely not let that man go.
"By the way, Orochimaru- senpai, is the high-yield crop project finished?" Iori suddenly remembered the research topic she had asked Orochimaru to study.
"It's done. Wood Release is truly amazing. Wood Release Chakra can not only accelerate the ripening of seeds, but also cause certain mutations in them. Most importantly, it can maintain the input of Wood Release Chakra, and the yield of grain can be hundreds of times that of the past."
Orochimaru said with a smile that he had been very satisfied during this period, with endless topics and resources for him to study, and anyone who wanted to destroy Konoha would be his mortal enemy.
"Then I'm relieved. As long as we can maintain self-sufficiency in food, it doesn't matter if we fall out with the daimyo."
Iori said with satisfaction, "Then I'll leave Konoha in your care."
Everyone nodded, indicating that they would not let Iori down.
Entrusting the affairs of Konoha to everyone, Iori returned to the base to prepare for the final ceremony.
He reached out his hand, the Gate of Babylon opened, and a piece of uncut jade fell into his hand.
"The time has come. Reveal your true form, He Shi's Jade Disc."
Iori spoke earnestly, pouring the collected power of faith into the unpolished jade.
With the infusion of faith, the uncut jade began to emit a brilliant light.
