More than ten days have passed since Hidden Leaf New Year Gala, the temperature has gradually warmed up and the snow has begun to melt.
Ordinary civilians picked up their mood and returned to their busy daily work.
The young Hidden Leaf Village Genin are currently gathered in front of Hokage Office Building, nervously waiting for the assessment results.
As time passed by, the atmosphere became more and more anxious.
At this time, a staff member came out holding several pieces of red paper.
While pasting the red paper on the notice board, the staff said loudly, "Ninjas who pass the assessment must register at Department of Education within three days for subsequent allocation."
The ninjas huddled together, standing on tiptoes and looking around.
"Great!"
"We passed!"
In the crowd, Izumo Kamizuki jumped up excitedly.
Mizuki stretched out his hand and said with a chuckle, "Please take care of me, seniors, in the future."
Kotetsu Hagane put his hand on Mizuki and said in harmony, "Let's work hard together in the future."
Izumo Kamizuki held their hands and said with a silly smile, "Come on together."
As for Hokage's office, Obito is discussing the next reform measures with Namikaze Minato.
Spreading out a Land of Fire map, Obito said, "Currently, Hidden Leaf Village many things have just begun, or have not yet started."
"It's still far from being truly effective."
"Here are some of my opinions."
"First of all, in terms of force, Hidden Leaf Village is indeed the best of Ninja World."
"But according to strict standards, there are only more than 20,000 ninjas who can truly be considered ninjas, and the rest are just ordinary people with a small amount of chakra."
"And these people are far from enough for Land of Fire and Ninja World."
"In terms of number of people alone, Iwagakure is more than us."
"This is also one of the reasons why I want to popularize chakra. Only with extensive grassroots power can Hidden Leaf Village have actual control over Land of Fire."
Namikaze Minato thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It takes a long time to cultivate a group of grassroots forces, and it cannot be accomplished overnight."
Obito chuckled and said, "So I planned a five-year plan to plan Hidden Leaf Village's reform measures in all aspects."
"In terms of force, if a child enters school at the age of six, five years is enough to cultivate him into an excellent Genin."
"As for the political aspect, it is mainly divided into two parts."
"Looking at Ninja World as a whole, war will not break out again within ten years."
"We mainly consider the domestic situation of Land of Fire."
"Once Hidden Leaf Village thousands of Genin are distributed to Land of Fire various places, they will gradually erode the power of local rule by the nobility."
"After five years, a new generation of Genin will be cultivated, and the power of the aristocracy will reach its lowest point."
"The only thing that needs to be considered is that within the next five years, the nobles may become desperate."
Namikaze Minato nodded thoughtfully, surrounding the countryside and seizing power with arms. He had read this knowledge in the book given by Obito.
Obito continued his analysis, "In terms of economy, there is also a lot of room for development."
"Currently, due to the falling out with the nobles, Hidden Leaf Village's mission entrustment has been reduced by more than 80%. The main financial revenue is Land of Fire's 20% field tax."
"This part of the income is not cheap, enough to support Hidden Leaf Village's current finances."
"But if the Hidden Leaf Village economy wants to develop further, it must be divided into three steps."
Namikaze Minato listened very carefully and tried to follow Obito's ideas.
Obito took out a pen and drew on the Land of Fire map.
"Hidden Leaf Village is an important place for Land of Fire."
"Nine main railways extend from Hidden Leaf Village, and the main railway extends to several secondary railways."
"In this way, the transportation system of Land of Fire is initially completed."
"This is the first step."
"After the construction of the railway system is completed, Hidden Leaf Village will become the economic center of Land of Fire, with continuous business and trade exchanges."
"The commercial tax alone is enough to make Hidden Leaf Village a lot of money, not to mention the transportation costs of the railway system."
"But that's not really the point."
"The key is that Hidden Leaf Village takes advantage of this convenience to develop its own heavy industry and light industry."
"Encourage the major families in Hidden Leaf Village to develop their own secret techniques and find ways to combine civilian use with commercialization."
"This is also the original intention of Konoha Research Institute, to vigorously develop the productive application of ninjutsu."
"For specific examples, please refer to the waterwheel powered by Wind Release and Aburame Clan."
"This is the second step."
"At this point, Hidden Leaf Village has completely gotten rid of its economic dependence on Feudal Lord and the nobility, and has achieved the goal of transforming from the tertiary industry to the primary and secondary industries."
"And the third step is the most important step."
"Once a pattern is formed that uses chakra as energy and various ninjutsu as productivity, other major countries will have no choice but to follow Hidden Leaf Village's footsteps in order not to be eliminated."
"In fact, this pull-type reform promotes the overall productivity of Ninja World and has a positive impact on Ninja World peace."
"On the other hand, chakra will undoubtedly become a strategic energy source in the future."
"Currently looking at Ninja World, only Hidden Leaf Village has mastered the method of converting Tailed Beast Chakra into stable and usable chakra."
"This will be the biggest advantage of Hidden Leaf Village."
"Hidden Leaf Village can not only become an exporter of chakra energy, but also use chakra as a credit basis to establish its own currency system and become a real economic power."
"Of course, these three steps cannot be accomplished overnight."
"In the first five-year plan, Hidden Leaf Village focuses on completing part of the first and second steps."
"In addition, the advantage of converting Hidden Leaf Village into Tailed Beast Chakra will not always be maintained."
"After other ninja villages strengthen research in this area, they may also develop methods to convert Tailed Beast Chakra."
"Therefore, Hidden Leaf Village should strengthen research in this area as soon as possible and optimize the current methods from multiple aspects such as conversion rate and conversion speed."
Namikaze Minato took a pen to record in the notebook, raised his head and said, "Is there anything else you want to add?"
Obito shook his head speechlessly and sighed, "Minato-sensei, sometimes you better not force yourself."
"Hokage can be the most powerful person or spiritual leader in the village, but Hokage is not required to know everything."
"Mistress always complains that you come home very late lately."
Namikaze Minato smiled helplessly, "What can I do? Hokage There are a lot of things to do. I won't feel at ease until I finish them."
Obito curled his lips and said, "Weren't Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu dismissed? You should re-hire Hokage Advisor."
Namikaze Minato's eyes lit up and he looked at Obito with evil intentions.
Obito shook his head crazily. "Don't think about it, it's impossible to work."
Namikaze Minato said angrily, "Then who do you want to choose?"
Obito thought for a moment and came up with an idea, "How about canceling Hokage Advisor's position and recruiting a staff team to help Minato-sensei handle various government affairs."
"Okay"
Namikaze Minato nodded immediately, he was almost driven crazy by these government affairs.
Especially after Kushina became pregnant, her temper became even more irritable. Namikaze Minato went home after seven o'clock and basically had to sleep on the sofa.
Obito had a teasing smile on his lips, "It's pitiful."
Namikaze Minato rolled his eyes at Obito and said thoughtfully, "In terms of candidates, Nara Shikaku is very good. I still need to consider the others."
Obito nodded indifferently, it doesn't matter even if Nara Shikaku has a little selfishness, no one can shake Uchiha Clan now.
After looking at the time, he remembered that he had made an appointment with Kurenai Yuhi for dinner. Obito said anxiously, "Minato-sensei, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Don't come to me for the specific matters of these reforms. After appointing Fugaku as Konoha Administrator, come to him to handle it."
Namikaze Minato watched Obito disappear, shook his head and said with a smile, "This kid is too lazy."
