Being Hokage was no easy job, but Uchiha Shunichi soon got the hang of it and learned to delegate less important work to his subordinates.
Karin was an excellent assistant. Though she had come to Konoha from another village, she had fit in very well and could handle all sorts of minor matters without a hitch.
Even so, the Hokage's work was far too tedious. Some utterly insignificant matters still required his personal attention.
And now the affairs of the Land of Fire had been added to his workload...
The Land of Fire's affairs were actually manageable. Although many nobles who did real work and officials in important positions had been killed, the officials beneath them could take over their duties quite well.
As ninja, they only needed to manage the department handling those affairs and ensure that nothing descended into chaos.
But the petty matters in Konoha left Uchiha Shunichi extremely impatient. He had already held a meeting about this before his inauguration as Hokage, yet they had ultimately failed to resolve the issue.
After all, for ninja, an inconspicuous piece of intelligence could lead to total defeat.
More importantly, the Hokage needed to understand just how much fighting strength his subordinates possessed. These small matters were also a way for him to interact with ordinary ninja.
Although the issue remained unresolved, they had found a way to address it.
The Fourth Shinobi World War had completely reshaped the entire shinobi world. Ninja had become unexpectedly important, and both the Land of Fire and the entire world needed reform.
Naturally, Konoha needed to change as well.
However, those changes would have to wait until after the Five Kage Summit. Making adjustments based on the situation was the wise choice.
