A few days later.
Konoha All Ninja above Chunin were summoned to a temporarily opened Underground Great Hall.
People who came here were surprised to find that Fourth Hokage also appeared here.
In other words, the current Konoha has five Hokages!
Second, who was completely resurrected, rubbed Nawaki's head.
Don't tell me, the body of a living person is really more useful than Reanimated Body.
This time, the Death God bug is not Orochimaru but Second, because Orochimaru has just used up Living Corpse Reincarnation, and now Living Corpse Reincarnation is still cooling down.
Forcible use will damage the soul.
To everyone's surprise, the person standing on the stage was not Fifth Hokage Jiraiya, but Naruto Uzumaki.
"Everyone, let's have a meeting today."
Naruto stood behind the lectern, holding the tabletop with both hands and looking at everyone on the steps.
"The meeting has five important topics. The first one is about Konoha Jonin Naruto Uzumaki becoming the Sixth Hokage topic. Who agrees and who opposes?"
What is this guy talking about?
Some Ninja who had just returned from their shift at the border were confused, but Ninja who had been in the village all along was very calm.
People can destroy Konoha in an instant, and Konoha Reconstruction in an instant. If you want to be a Hokage, you just have to go through the process. How can you stop them?
Jiraiya raised his right hand and looked left and right at the same time. He found that representatives of Hyuga, Ino-Shika-Cho, Aburame, Inuzuka Clan, and Uchiha all raised their hands.
These guys are so fast!
As Konoha High Command in the first row raised their hands, the ones behind slowly also raised their hands.
"Okay, a total of 1,378 people from the village came to attend this meeting, and 1,196 people agreed. The first resolution is passed."
"I will now continue to host the following meetings in the name of Sixth Hokage."
There was thunderous applause from below.
Naruto pointed to the big screen behind him, and a clip from Princess Gale began to play on it.
That's the clip from Train.
"The second topic is to carry out in-depth cooperation with Land of Snow, learn from Land of Snow's technology, improve the current conditions in the village, and make freight transportation more developed.
"There is a saying that makes sense. If you want to be rich, build roads first.
For Konoha, for the entire Land of Fire and even for the future of Shinobi World, building railways is the first step towards prosperity."
He paused briefly to let the attendees digest the concept.
Many Ninja had thoughtful expressions on their faces.
"The speed of Train may not be as fast as the elite Ninja running at full speed."
Naruto admitted, "However, as a machine, Train's biggest advantage lies in its power and sustainability. It can tirelessly pull thousands of tons of materials and run on a fixed track day and night."
His voice rose a little higher, with a certain determination of planning for the future:
"This can effectively improve the capacity and efficiency of cargo transportation and significantly reduce the cost and time of long-distance freight.
Whether it is transporting Konoha's specialties, Ninja Tools, and medicinal materials to various places, or transporting minerals, grains, and raw materials from other places back to Konoha, it will become unprecedentedly convenient and stable."
"This will greatly facilitate Konoha's business contacts with the outside world, stimulate economic development, attract investment, and create more job opportunities.
Once the logistics network of not just Konoha but the entire Land of Fire is completed, the changes will be revolutionary."
Someone raised their hand, and after receiving Naruto's consent, he stood up and asked his doubts.
"So, what's the cost of this Train? And how can we ensure that other countries don't blow up their railways?"
The person who asked this question is Yamanaka Fū.
"It's very simple. As for this question, you can find out later."
Yamanaka Fū nodded and sat down again.
"The third issue."
His voice was not high, but it seemed to have great power, suppressing all the noise in the venue.
"It's about the Ninja Academy. I propose that Ninja Academy's education in ideological and moral character, values and historical cognition should be greatly strengthened."
He raised his voice slightly. "We must start from the source and guide the next generation of Konoha to truly understand and move towards the right path of unremitting struggle for Konoha's prosperity and Shinobi World's peace.
Instead of letting 'Will of Fire' become an empty slogan, or be twisted and used by careerists with ulterior motives."
Having said this, Naruto's eyes became sharp, like an unsheathed blade, slowly sweeping over some of the seats in the front row, especially those senior executives who had experienced the Third Hokage period.
"Among them, a very important principle is.
Only when the upper beam is upright can the lower beam be upright.
Wrong ideas must be corrected and cleaned up from the source, from top to bottom."
His words began to take on an obvious critical tone, pointing directly at the dark side of the past:
"We cannot repeat the same mistakes and learn from some Seniors who talk about benevolence, justice and morality, Will of Fires, but secretly condone or even participate in dirty deeds!"
The crimes he listed were like thunder, hitting the venue one by one:
"In connivance with Shimura Danzō and its 'root' organization, in the name of 'for the village', they persecuted fellow villagers, took bribes, kidnapped innocent people, and assassinated the potential genius Ninja!"
"Malicious design to trap the heroes in the village, causing them to bleed and die on the battlefield, while their relatives suffered cold treatment, exclusion, and even persecution in the village, causing the heroes to bleed and shed tears!"
Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of some insiders. It also made the uninformed young ninjas widen their eyes and look at the silent senior officials in disbelief.
Third was like a light on his back, he lowered his head and remained silent.
Second stared at Third. It seems that this meeting is not a complete waste of time!
Naruto's eyes finally landed on a special position in the front row of the venue.
There sat a silver-haired Impure World Reincarnation person with complex and excited emotions, Hatake Sakumo.
"Here, as Sixth Hokage, I specifically rectify the name of Hatake Sakumo Senior."
Naruto's voice was decisive, echoing in the silent venue:
"He, Hatake Sakumo, is a great Ninja who is extremely outstanding, loyal and truly understands the meaning of 'companion'.
His choice, his sacrifice, is not cowardice or evading the mission, but his persistence in the true 'Will of Fire' in that twisted environment, which is the heaviest interpretation of the word 'companion'!"
He looked around the audience, his voice carrying an unquestionable power:
"The village and Ninja do need to complete tasks to get paid and maintain operations. This is true.
However, please remember all Konoha and Ninja and teach our younger generations.
Companions are more important than tasks!"
"The mission failed, we can take it again.
The mission target is lost, we can find it again.
But once a companion has passed away, it is difficult to get him back."
He paused and his tone became deeper, as if he was explaining the fundamentals of Konoha's existence:
"Finally, and most importantly, everyone, especially the teachers who will be responsible for educating the next generation, please make sure every Konoha child understands."
"Konoha is not a cold building or political entity that appears out of thin air.
Konoha is a home for every resident living here, a home that we all work together to build and protect with our hands, lives, and bonds!"
"It's not because of the name 'Konoha' that we residents are here.
On the contrary, it is because we 'Konoha residents' who are willing to trust and support each other gather together that we have the shining name of 'Konoha'!"
