The casualty statistics finally fell on Shikamaru. Moreover, Shikamaru's father personally gave the order to his son.
At that moment Shikamaru doubted whether he was his biological child. Looking at the dozens of boxes of paper files unearthed from Police Force's archives in front of him, Shikamaru almost died on the spot.
But there is no way, there are really not enough manpower. This job is not just casualty statistics. It also means conducting a thorough personnel screening.
Before the war, Konoha actually had various hidden dangers. Because of the hidden dangers of the household registration system, many businessmen only needed to stay for a while to get familiar with the people around them after entering Konoha.
There is a feeling that the person is Konoha. If it is the previous Police Force, if you check the information, you will know that the other person is not Konoha at all.
However, after the demise of Police Force, this tedious work has never been restarted. The household registration information of Konoha has not been updated for a year.
When the war started, Konoha suffered internal damage from a large number of spies. Konoha Hospital was attacked by a group of spies. This resulted in a serious shortage of medical resources.
What Kakashi and Shikaku discussed was to take advantage of this casualty statistics opportunity to completely update Konoha's household registration information to prepare for the next reconstruction of Police Force.
Shikamaru summoned a group of friends with a look of despair and started to work. One thing is that although this guy is lazy, he is still quite reliable at the critical moment.
After treating the wounded and making statistics, there are still a lot of problems that need to be solved.
First of all, after the war, Konoha was extremely weak. Other villages will definitely take advantage of it. No need to think about it, they have already started to take action.
Therefore, it is necessary to immediately mobilize elite ninjas to guard the area around Konoha.
At this time, the city walls and barriers around Konoha had suffered a lot of damage. Barrier Team estimated that it would take at least a month to completely repair it.
During this period, Konoha is in an undefended stage. Therefore, the enemy cannot be allowed to approach Konoha at this time. All prying eyes must be blocked from the outside.
"The threats mainly come from Iwagakure in the northwest and Kumogakure in the northeast. Especially Iwagakure, there are many woods in this area. The environment is complex and more attention needs to be paid."
"Now it seems that Aoba is still prepared. When he was stationed at the border with Kumogakure, he destroyed almost all the surrounding forests. In this way, the enemy can hardly hide his whereabouts. This is barely good news."
Kakashi and Shikaku studied the map for a long time. They quickly returned to the original problem, manpower.
"The task of patrolling the border fortress requires a real Jonin team, and it is an experienced one. The previous wars damaged too many people. There are really not many who can take on big responsibilities now."
"If it doesn't work, extract it from ANBU. The previous Root will be merged into ANBU. At this time, ANBU should have enough manpower. Recall ANBU who are performing tasks outside, and make every effort to ensure the safety of the village."
"It's already being done. But it will take a certain amount of time to assemble them." Kakashi was a senior executive of ANBU in the early years. He knew that it would take a lot of time for ANBU to complete such a gathering.
"Well, there is another way. In this war, there are many Special Jonin and Chunin who have performed well. I think it is necessary to promote a new group of Jonin and entrust them with important responsibilities."
"As well as the ninjas in the village, Konoha is in crisis now. As ninjas, they need to do better."
Shikaku glanced at Kakashi and sighed slightly in his heart. After all, it spread to the ninja clan. But he couldn't refute, because Kakashi's reasons and the current situation were impeccable.
Why didn't you realize before that Kakashi is so difficult to deal with? Or is it because of Aoba Kamikawa?
"No problem, we Nara Clan are always on the side of Konoha. After I go back, I can mobilize some retired ninjas and the young people in the clan to come out to perform tasks again."
In fact, Shikaku understands the meaning of Kakashi very well. What Konoha needs now are the major ninja clans, those ninjas who are not registered.
That's right, every major ninja clan has a group of unregistered ninjas. These people do not go to Konoha's school. Instead, they receive secret training from their families.
After becoming an adult, he will not perform official tasks in the village. Instead, he will only serve the interests of the family. This is also the most important symbol of a ninja clan.
No matter how heavy the casualties suffered by the ninjas outside, they can always guarantee their inheritance.
"However, there is still an obstacle to this matter. In what name can we mobilize other ninjas?"
Shikaku sees further and knows how to adapt to the times. But not all ninjas can see this.
In fact, it is not impossible for the Ninja clan to send out private troops to work for the village. But this requires the exchange of some resources.
To put it simply, if you want to use these powers, Hokage generally has to make some promises.
Now, there is no Hokage in the village. Hokage Advisor and Jonin Division have high status as squad leaders, but they are not the real Hokage after all.
"You mean we need a Hokage."
"Yes, whether it is from the immediate trivial work or from the overall situation, we need to determine a new Hokage as soon as possible.
The appointment of the new Hokage can stabilize public sentiment internally. Externally, it can send a signal that Konoha has returned to normal."
When Shikaku said this, his eyes were fixed on Kakashi. In fact, in the current situation, if Kakashi wants to take over, he can completely accept it.
If it is Aoba Kamikawa, he needs to think something about it. Because that young man is obviously more dangerous than Kakashi.
What he didn't expect was that Kakashi directly rejected this possibility.
"Neither I nor Aoba ever thought about being this Hokage. However, Aoba did consider this issue. According to the current situation, if Lady Tsunade can return, it should be the best choice for Konoha."
"Tsunade."
Shikaku naturally understands the significance of Tsunade's return. As the last princess of the Senju Clan, Tsunade is fully qualified regardless of her status or strength. Becoming Hokage. And as Shinobi World's best medical ninja. Tsunade has an unimaginable huge reputation among the ninja group of Konoha.
It can be said that all ninjas who have participated in Third Shinobi World War have more or less been favored by Tsunade. This reputation foundation makes Tsunade's path to the top almost no obstacles. At least there are no external obstacles.
"I support Lady Tsunade becoming Hokage. But as far as I know, she is not very interested in Hokage's position."
Not only was he not interested, Tsunade was completely disappointed with Konoha at this time. He didn't want to come back at all.
"We don't have to worry about this. Aoba said he would take care of it."
