"Tell me more about it." Tsunade was quite interested in this topic.
"Essentially, the Third wasn't unwilling to equip ninja teams with medical-nin. He was well aware that the only benefit of doing so was that Konoha didn't have enough medical-nin resources. Therefore, the best way for us to solve this problem is to first address the issue of medical-nin resources in Konoha, rather than continuing to propose such measures on top of the already scarce medical-nin in Konoha, which could very well lead to the paralysis of Konoha's medical system," Araki said.
"Hmm..." Tsunade nodded, pondering the matter. Araki's words made perfect sense; it was indeed the case. However, having been so directly involved, she hadn't fully grasped the situation. Now, after Araki's explanation, she realized the truth of the matter and couldn't help but sigh, "I've oversimplified things."
"Solving the problem of medical-nin resources is not something that can be done overnight. Training a medical-nin takes a lot of time, so it must start from a young age. However, our Ninja Academy does not have a course on medical-nin. To become medical-nin, one must graduate from the Ninja Academy and become a ninja before they can develop in this direction. This will inevitably waste a lot of study time and increase the cost of learning. After all, many people who have become ninjas aim to climb to the rank of Chunin Jonin, and there are not many people who can settle down to learn Medical Ninjutsu." Araki directly stated the current situation.
After all, he is a special case and cannot be used as a reference.
After all, he has plenty of time.
The Nawaki is a valuable reference.
Nawaki had plenty of time to learn Medical Ninjutsu, and with the joint guidance of himself and Tsunade, it still took him a long time to master the basic medical knowledge.
Ordinary ninjas, on the other hand, would require more time.
This, ironically, became a key constraint on medical-nin!
After Araki became medical-nin, he felt that this was also a fundamental reason why medical-nin were relatively scarce—it was simply too difficult to learn medicine!

Konoha: Nobody knew I could use Wood Release! Chapter 12: The Location of Hashirama Cells
"Therefore, to solve the problem of the shortage of medical-nin, we need to fundamentally reform the education system. From a young age, we should cultivate children who aspire to become medical-nin, so that they can become medical-nin after graduating from the Ninja Academy. This way, they don't need to spend extra time learning Medical Ninjutsu and can directly train with ninja teams. Then, when they are assigned to teams upon graduation, each team will naturally have a medical-nin," Araki continued.
"This... this... this..."
Tsunade was greatly shocked after hearing Araki's next words; she had never expected that there was another trick up his sleeve.
"Really..."
"That's true."
"Once there's Medical Team at the Ninja Academy, they'll naturally form teams upon graduation."
There's absolutely no need for any further proposals.
Or rather...
"At most, I'd suggest not forming a small Medical Team."
" Araki, you're a genius!"
Tsunade muttered to herself, and at the end she couldn't help but praise Araki, because she found that the problem that had been troubling her had been resolved perfectly at this moment, completely overturning all her previous ideas.
It's like playing with a puzzle toy. No matter how much brute force you use, you might not be able to open a single lock. But once you find the trick, you'll find it's very easy to unlock the lock.
Tsunade had never played with such a mechanical toy before, but this was how she felt at that moment.
"We definitely need to address the problem at its root. We currently have too few medical-nin medical-nin. If we had more, why would we worry about this proposal not being approved?" Tsunade shook her head with a wry smile, then looked at Araki again and said, "However, I have another question. What if we propose adding medical-nin courses, and the Third rejects it?"
" Tsunade-sensei, as I just said, this is our goal, but it absolutely cannot be our proposal. If we propose adding a course for medical-nin, it will definitely be rejected, and there will be no possibility of discussion whatsoever," Araki said firmly.
"Why?" Tsunade asked, puzzled.
"The answer remains the same. When the Third was doing this, he felt it was a thankless task. Adding a course unnecessarily would only disrupt the existing system, increase student stress, and create more difficulties for students and parents. Therefore, we need a more subtle approach." Araki continued confidently, "We might try directly intervening in the Ninja Academy reform, making Medical Ninjutsu a specialization, along with other specializations, and incorporating them into the Ninja Academy system. This would make the Ninja Academy a comprehensive and diverse institution, allowing students to choose a specialization that interests them and suits them. Of course, if they find it unsuitable after entering a specialization, they will be given the opportunity to change majors. This transformation will give Ninja Academy graduates a more in-depth and comprehensive career path."
"So complicated..." Tsunade was stunned. In fact, she was only concerned about medical-nin, but now she understood after hearing Araki's words. If she wanted to achieve the goal of medical-nin, she couldn't just talk about medical-nin. That would only be a personal suggestion and would most likely be rejected. But if she extended the whole issue to include more diverse interests, there would be hope for success.
"Complexity doesn't matter, as long as it's feasible. If Tsunade-sensei wants to approve such a proposal, then her own suggestion alone is certainly not enough. We also need to win over more people, those who also want to develop through their own proposals. They may lack successors in their respective fields, so we need more subjects to enrich the choices for the Ninja Academy students, in order to supply more talent to Konoha." Araki fully utilized his advantages as a transmigrator. In fact, what he was talking about was similar to the university in his previous life, only the university model had been brought to the ninja world ahead of time. However, he didn't feel any sense of incongruity because the people here were relatively precocious and had a very strong ability to learn.
" Araki, why don't you help me?" After a moment's thought, Tsunade suddenly changed her demeanor, winking seductively at Araki, her intoxicated eyes reappearing, presenting a different kind of alluring charm.
"Of course, no problem at all. I am the one behind Tsunade-sensei, the one who devised the plan!" Araki agreed on the spot without hesitation.
"That's great. Just tell me how you need my cooperation. As long as we can proceed smoothly step by step and complete the reform of medical-nin, my inner desires will be fulfilled." Tsunade's mood finally improved.
"In essence, this might be difficult for someone else to do, but it's no problem for Tsunade-sensei- Tsunade-sensei. She's the granddaughter of the Lord First Hokage, and with that connection, it'll be easier to push for reforms at the Ninja Academy. After all, the Second Hokage proposed building the Ninja Academy; without that connection, it would most likely be rejected," Araki said earnestly.
"I didn't expect that such a relationship would be used at this time..." Tsunade smiled bitterly. She didn't want to use such a relationship, but for the sake of reforming medical-nin, she could accept it even if she didn't want to.
"Speaking of the Lord First Hokage..." Araki began, then naturally changed the subject, saying, " Tsunade-sensei, I have a question. I heard that the Lord First Hokage's cells are still alive. Is that true?"
"Hmm?" Tsunade's brows suddenly furrowed.
"After all, I'm medical-nin myself. Hearing this information shocked me deeply. I've been keeping it to myself, but then I suddenly remembered, so I asked. I hope Tsunade-sensei doesn't mind," Araki said, waving his hand.
"That's not a problem to worry about. You're right, even though Grandpa died, his cells continued to live. It's a very miraculous thing, thanks to Grandpa's powerful life energy!" Tsunade.
"Because of the Strength of a Hundred Technique?" Araki pressed on.
"Of course not. Compared to Grandpa's terrifying regenerative abilities, the Strength of a Hundred Technique is utterly insignificant." Tsunade her head.
"Where are the cells of the Lord First Hokage alive?" Araki asked casually.
"You're interested?" Tsunade paused for a moment, then asked.
"I'd like to see it for myself." Araki didn't hide his interest.
"Grandpa's cells are sealed in the basement of the Hokage's office. There are many things involved, mainly experiments from a few years ago, which goes back a long time, and I don't want to talk about it too much. Even if you wanted to see them, it would be quite difficult." Tsunade sighed for a moment, then said, "Let's talk about how to make the proposal regarding the Ninja Academy!"
Chapter 13 A Figure Under the Moonlight
Konoha: Nobody knew I could use Wood Release! Chapter 13: A Figure Under the Moonlight
I see!
Araki muttered something to himself.
Previously, he had tried to sense many places in Konoha, but he had not found any information about Hashirama Cells.
He thought it was hidden in some special place.
If we're talking about the area beneath the Hokage's office, then that was indeed a place Araki overlooked. He hadn't sensed Hashirama Cells near Hokage Hokage's office, and he rarely even went near it.
After all, that's the center of power in Konoha. The Third, Danzo, and many Jonin are all in that position. Rashly releasing one's aura could have adverse effects.
Now that we have a general idea of the location, we can proceed with the subsequent planning.
" Tsunade-sensei, I have many more ideas regarding the reform of the Ninja Academy. Let's discuss them slowly; I'll list them all that I can think of..."
After obtaining the information he wanted, Araki acted as if he hadn't heard the topic at all and quickly returned to the original content.
A few hours later.
Even Araki himself didn't know how long he had been there.
All he knew was that Tsunade-sensei was very satisfied with his suggestion, so much so that she drank a few more bottles of alcohol afterward. However, these weren't the somber drinks of the past, but rather drinks of joy.
When Araki left, it was already dark outside, but he was probably the least afraid of the dark in the village.
"Finally done!"
Araki breathed a long sigh of relief. He understood that Tsunade-sensei had been troubled by this matter for a long time, so he offered her as many suggestions as he could, and unconsciously became more talkative.
You can't just get the answer you want and then ignore everything else!
Araki looked up at the moonlight, which was occasionally obscured by thin clouds, but didn't try to find it. Instead, he was greeted with a dark and windy night.
"Let's do it today instead of another day!"
Araki had a sudden thought. While he was discussing various suggestions with Tsunade-sensei, he was thinking that he should find a suitable opportunity to visit the Hokage's office in a while.
However, after he came out, this thought changed, leading him to go there now.
The attraction of Hashirama Cells is simply too great!
Araki might not have felt the risk was worthwhile for other matters, but when it came to Hashirama Cells, it was absolutely worth it.
For others, Hashirama Cells might hold more significance in terms of faith. Even if they were given these cells, they would have no use for them and might even keep their distance, since accidentally getting them into their bodies could be life-threatening.
On the contrary, if it falls into the hands of a scientist like Orochimaru, it might have some use and can be used for research.
Araki's situation is completely different!
He possesses qualities that no one else has!
Hashirama Cells can be absorbed into the body!
"I used to worry that the Third would find out about this, and I would become the research subject of Orochimaru and Danzo. But now that I've killed Orochimaru, I don't have so many concerns. Besides, even if I am discovered, as long as I can absorb enough Hashirama Cells, the increase in strength I gain in a short period of time will be enough for me to deal with any problems that may arise."
Araki muttered to himself, silently making a decision and giving himself even greater confidence.
That's it.
As long as we obtain the Hashirama Cells.
Many problems could have been easily solved!
With that in mind, Araki didn't delay any longer. He immediately controlled his senses, expanding the range infinitely, and observed the dynamics of the entire Konoha in his own way, but focused on the area near the Hokage's office.
Under such circumstances.
No movement of light or shadow within Konoha escapes Araki's eyes; it can be said that he completely monitors Konoha.
"The situation is surprisingly good!"
Araki stared in astonishment, realizing that there were only two auras around the Hokage's office building, both near the main entrance.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances...
These two people are likely the gatekeepers of the Hokage's office building.
This was the best-case scenario Araki could imagine; it would be too much to leave him a completely empty Hokage office.
In any case, the current situation is very advantageous to him.
Instantly.
Araki no longer hesitated and headed straight for the Hokage's office building, his steps extremely firm. In that instant, he had already figured everything out.
The Hokage's office building.
First floor, near the entrance.
Two Chunin hidden on the branches of a tree near the entrance, blending into the green leaves under the night sky. If one did not look closely, it would be difficult to spot them; they seemed to be part of the tree itself.
The two men had their eyes half-open and half-closed, looking as if they were slacking off. After all, the night shift was so familiar to them that they knew how to do it even with their eyes closed.
Just keep an eye on it.
After all, this is the Hokage's office, the place where the Third Lord Hokage works. No one else can come and go as they please, and there's nowhere to guard the village.
