Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 109 The first step of reform is to reorganize the secretary (1W1)

When Hinata Yuzuru returned home, it was already late at night.

When the ninja on night duty recognized him, he just exclaimed, and the next moment, the family became lively.

"Yuzuru, sir!"

"Lord Godaime!"

They changed their words and addressed the original "young master" as "adult". Each of them had excitement and pride on their faces. Hinata Yuzuru had a little helplessness on his face under his bamboo hat, but he still greeted them with a smile.

As one person exclaimed, the rest of the Hyuga tribe, even if they heard the noise in the house, ran out of the house, for no other reason than to see with their own eyes the "Fire" written on Hyuga Yuzuru's head at the moment. 'The Hokage hat with the word '.

The sounds of congratulations were endless. Hinata Yuzuru smiled amiably and patiently responded to every tribe member who greeted him, just like he did when he was young.

The news was passed down from person to person, and even the tribesmen who had already gone to bed had to come out to take a look in person.

It was such a short journey from the front door to his own house, but he walked for more than half an hour. You can imagine how excited his family was about the fact that Hinata Yuzuru became the temporary Hokage.

This is Naruto!

Even Hinata Yuzuru himself never thought that he could become the fifth generation of the fifth generation so quickly, let alone this group of family members.

If it wasn't so late, their emotions would probably be even more excited.

Fortunately, they also thought that Hinata Yuzuru must have a good rest, so they didn't worry about it for too long. Otherwise, it might have taken how long.

As soon as he entered the house, Hinata Yuzuru saw his mother standing in the corridor and waiting for him after receiving the news. Xun poked her head out from the living room and smiled at him.

"Yuzuru!"

The mother looked at the Hokage hat on his head and didn't know whether she should come over to him. It was only after Hinata Yuzuru took off the hat, walked closer and hugged her gently that the mother excitedly hugged him tightly.

"It's true! You actually, really became the Godaime Hokage!"

"Yes, yes, it's just temporary. It's hard to say. It may not be possible to become a permanent employee."

After Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, his mother hurriedly pooh-poohed a few times, and asked him to do the same, and said with an unhappy look: "How is that possible? There is no temporary Hokage in Konoha who cannot become a full-time Hokage. After the Daming Mansion has gone through the procedures, can’t we officially take office?”

She asked expectantly, "When is it? I want to see Yuzuru officially take over as Hokage in front of the whole village!"

Hinata Yuzuru shook his head, held her thin shoulders, and led her to the living room while saying: "It's still early, at least in the next two years, maybe not."

"Why? Is it the Third Generation or some elders who disagree? Didn't you become the temporary Hokage because the Third Generation approved it?"

The mother asked puzzledly, but Hinata Yuzuru smiled and said: "Why rush?"

"Okay, don't rush him. Yuzuru must have his own plans. Besides, this is also good. He is still young and officially became the Hokage. He may have greater pressure. Let him adapt for a few years first."

Hizashi's voice came from the living room - even though he didn't come out, it was obvious that his attention had been placed outside the house early. Listening to his mother's repeated questions, he couldn't help but say a few words of persuasion.

The mother curled her lips. Although she did not refute him, she still whispered in Hinata Yuzuru's ear: "I think it's better to do it sooner, so that the Third Hokage won't regret it later. I heard privately that the reason why the Third Hokage made you the Hokage in such a hurry might be because of health problems.

If he gets better later, he might want to be Hokage for a few more years."

"Don't criticize the Hokage behind his back. These things are not your business." Hizashi's voice became more serious.

The mother showed her attitude like a little girl angrily, and glared at Hizashi, but she did not refute. Instead, she rarely said in a weak voice: "I know, I know, I am a woman." ,Right!"

Hinata Hizashi shook his head helplessly, looked at Hinata Yuzuru at the door, looked up and down, and couldn't help but frown slightly: "Konoha didn't even prepare the Godaime's clothes?"

"It's me who didn't ask them to make it. Anyway, if nothing unexpected happens, Xun should have made some preparations. The clothes she made might be more comfortable and better looking than those made by those people in Konoha."

Hinata Yuzuru looked at Hinata Kaoru who was staring at him without blinking with a smile. Seeing her chuckle after hearing this, he knew that his guess was correct.

Neji sat next to Hinata Hizashi and looked at the Hokage hat in his hand. He looked straight at it for a moment. Looking up and down, he felt that his brother's becoming Hokage was not yet real.

How should I put it? It's like my own brother just took a Hokage hat and came back. It feels completely different from the impression I have of what a Hokage should look like.

Hinata Yuzuru sat comfortably on his tatami, lazily leaning on the table: "In fact, there is no benefit in becoming a Hokage. The current administrative system of Konoha is still a bit cumbersome and chaotic. The Hokage has too many things to do. This is not good. Sooner or later, I have to find a way to reduce the work."

"Yuzuru, becoming Hokage is different from other things. You have to know that from the moment you become Hokage, even if it is just the acting Hokage, you have the responsibility of all the people in Konoha on your shoulders."

Hinata Hizashi couldn't help it. Looking at his laziness, he began to persuade him seriously.

Even he felt that this scene was somewhat magical.

The son in front of him looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was clearly still a fourteen-year-old child.

At this age, even he would have some concerns about becoming a Hokage.

Can he handle those government affairs well?

Even though I had seen him perform very well in meetings before, what the Hokage had to do was far more than that.

Especially since he is now going to make reforms within Konoha and promote this matter as the interim Hokage, if he does it well, it will be icing on the cake, but if he does not do it well, it may affect his promotion to a regular position.

Hinata Hizashi rambled on for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said, "Are you really planning to postpone the ceremony of officially becoming Hokage?"

Hinata Yuzuru looked at him with a smile: "What's wrong with this?"

He looked at his father's slightly puzzled look and explained patiently: "Even though I am the temporary Hokage now, with the three generations here, my power will never be lower than that of the previous Hokage, or even more.

If I act too hastily and become the official Hokage, I will still have to rely on the Third Hokage to coordinate and depend on his personal prestige to command Konoha, which will inevitably make people look down on me.

What's more, even my father was worried about whether I could be a good Hokage, thinking that I was too young and lacked the qualifications.

Let alone the others - the reason why they are so friendly to me and seem to trust me is because they have three generations of support. They think that even though I am young, I have three generations of support to protect me. "

Hinata Yuzuru sat up straight, looked at the Hokage hat on the table, moved it gently with his fingers, looked at the mark embroidered with the word "fire", raised the corner of his mouth and said: "If you want to be the Hokage, you must do it openly.

If he hadn't ascended the throne surrounded by everyone.

It's not fun to sit in this Hokage's office. "

The confident look in Hinata Yuzuru's words made Hinata Kaoru couldn't help but look straight in her eyes. She was filled with a happy admiring smile, but she couldn't help but said with a little loss: "Well, Yuzuru-sama, how have you been doing lately? Won't it be very busy?
Even veterans like the third generation often seem to be too busy to go home."

"How did Kabuto Yakushi perform?" Hinata Yuzuru suddenly asked.

Hinata Xun didn't wonder why he suddenly asked this, but answered honestly: "Yakushi Kabuto's growth rate is very fast.

In fact, he is even fully capable of doing my job.

Both in theoretical knowledge and practical operation, he has grown into an outstanding talent who is in no way inferior to me.

Even if he is allowed to lead the scientific research team alone, he has sufficient ability to control the overall situation. Sometimes, I feel that it is a waste of his talent to let him be responsible for only part of the scientific research work.

If there was a bigger stage for him to let go, who knows, he might be able to do better than me.

After all, I have only been able to get to where I am today based on the knowledge and inspiration that Master Yuzuru has continuously given me.”

Hinata Yuzuru nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Are you interested in doing a new job?"

"New job?" Hinata Xun was stunned.

Hinata Yuzuru turned to look at her and smiled slightly: "Secretary Hokage, how are you doing?"

"Okay!" Hinata Xun was almost overjoyed. Even if he wanted to be more reserved, he couldn't suppress the joy on his face.

She doesn't care about status, work or anything like that.

Hinata Yuzuru said seriously: "You have to think it over carefully. This matter is by no means easier than your work in the laboratory. Moreover, it is a new field. The effort and preparation you have to put in will definitely not be less than what you have now."

"As long as I don't hold Master Yuzuru back, I'm willing to do anything!"

She was sitting expectantly, looking at him with twinkling eyes, without any fear at all.

Hinata Yuzuru nodded.

"Then come with me to work tomorrow and leave the research work at home to Kabuto. Of course, don't worry that all your skills have been in vain. You will still be responsible for scientific research in Konoha. So, even if there are no greater breakthroughs, you can't fall behind in scientific research. You have a heavy burden to study."

"Let's change the focus of the research lab - I need the help of the Ibli clan."

After Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, Hinata Kaoru nodded without hesitation.

He then smiled at her apologetically: "Sorry, there is really no one available."

When the new generation grows up a little and I have established a new team in Konoha, then Xun will no longer have to work part-time - although she seems to enjoy it, it is still a waste of her talents.

Many years of scientific research career have fully demonstrated her potential and strength, and this is just a stopgap measure at the moment.

Kakashi is a good backup secretary, but at this moment, Hinata Yuzuru is more willing to trust Hinata Fumio a little more.

In name, Hinata Xun is his secretary, but in reality, what she has to do is more than just reviewing documents. He needs someone who is absolutely loyal and can unconditionally carry out his orders by his side.

"Master Yuzuru, please use me as you like!"

Hinata Xun smiled and didn't feel any burden at all.

Hinata Yuzuru patted her head as if rewarding, and warned: "You can take Shiro with you. Later, when he grows up and becomes proficient in the process, you can let him take over your job."

"Okay." Even though he was a little reluctant, Hinata Xun agreed.

She didn't want to work anywhere else - she'd be better off just being his secretary.

Hinata Yuzuru retracted his palm, flicked her forehead lightly, and turned to look at her family.

The mother smiled ambiguously, and Neji looked away in disgust. Even though he was still in elementary school, he gradually began to understand the bitter taste of dog food.

Hinata Hizashi took a sip of tea and said, "You seem to be very organized. If you need any help, feel free to talk. I won't disturb your rest."

He winked at his mother, and slipped Neji out of the way, giving Hinata Yuzuru a space to rest, and intentionally leaving him and Hinata Kaoru alone.

Even though Hyuga Yuzuru now has the right to date and marry anyone, both his mother and Hyuga Hizashi think it would be best for him to find someone to marry within the Hyuga clan.

And Xun is a good match.

She was born in the Hyuga clan and was his childhood sweetheart. She was also filial to her family and very capable.

She is pretty.

Although Yuzuru is still a little embarrassed at the age of fourteen, Kaoru is already seventeen. In Konoha, girls are ready to get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but it is not early at all - in ordinary families, girls are often fourteen years old. It’s almost time to start preparing for marriage.

Just be younger, no one in Konoha stipulates that fifteen-year-old boys cannot get married, right?
It’s just that ninjas generally don’t get married too early, especially those who seem to have great potential. They all know that getting married later can easily harm their health.

But Hinata Yuzuru never needed them to worry.

Hinata Kaoru had a rare opportunity to be alone with him again, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

He is already the Hokage.
Fifth Hokage
She was happy, but she also felt a little bit inferior.

His excellence made her more obsessed, but also increased her pressure. Even though she had done well enough and tried her best, in her heart, she was still worlds apart from him. If she really wanted to be a good match for a man like him, what kind of girl would she be?

She pursed her lips and looked at him infatuatedly, but her eyes were sometimes blurry and sometimes slightly sad.

This made Hinata Yuzuru, who was quietly drinking tea and relaxing, laugh: "If you have nothing to say, just show me the clothes. Or, you haven't had time to prepare yet?"

Hinata Kaoru puffed up her cheeks: "How could I have nothing to say to Master Yuzuru? It's just that... the clothes are ready. I'll go get them."

She ran out of the room with bare feet and trotted away on her clogs.

Hinata Yuzuru looked at her back with a smile on his face, but soon fell into deep thought.

He is not a dull person. In fact, he is quick-thinking and very good at guessing other people's thoughts.

He understood Xun's entanglement just now, but
Forget it, let nature take its course.

Hinata Yuzuru took a sip of tea calmly.

Hinata Kaoru quickly ran back.

What she was holding was not only the divine robe, but also a new kimono, a new coat, and a new lining. It could be said that everything was done perfectly.

Hinata Xun put down her clothes, picked up the divine robe first and showed it to him.

"Here, this is made with reference to the Fourth Hokage's divine robe. It's red and black. I wonder if you like it."

Hinata Xun showed him the front first, which was quite neat and tidy. After turning around, the lines on the back made his eyes light up.

It is quite similar to the divine robe that Naruto wore when he fought Pain. The robe with red as the main component looks quite sharp, with black flames burning on the back of the robe, and the five big black characters "Gendame Hokage" are embroidered on the back.

The upper body is a black jacket, with the same black long sleeves on the inside, and the pants are also in red and black. They even gave him a new pair of boots. The red and black colors are very particular, and they actually feel like high-waisted basketball shoes.

Hinata Yuzuru took it with great satisfaction, put it in front of him and gestured: "Xun's clothes are really getting better and better!"

Xun blinked mischievously: "Young Master's preferences are too simple. Boys seem to like this kind of single color, or at most two-color combination. I made brighter ones before, but Young Master has rarely worn them."

Hinata Yuzuru grinned at her and didn't refute.

He is really not a person who pays particular attention to appearance - after all, as long as the clothes are not too outrageous, he will look good in anything.

The completion of fashion is the face. This truth remains unchanged.

"But I think that what Lord Yuzuru needs more than a divine robe is a set of combat uniforms. What kind of Hokage is there without a battle armor?"

Hinata Xun took out some papers and asked him for some advice.

"Now, I have designed a total of three types of combat uniforms. One type is relatively light and mainly tight-fitting."

Hinata Yuzuru took a glance and saw that it was similar to the combat uniform of the third generation. He shook his head and rejected it.

That black tights is really a bit too sexy.

It must look great if Xun wears it.

He glanced at Kaoru next to him. She was sitting next to Hinata Yuzuru. She spread the drawings on the table, leaned over slightly, and the kimono was opened at a corner. Hinata Yuzuru's eyes were slightly condensed, and when he was about to lift his head, When he looked up, he met the gaze of Xun, who was smiling slyly.

"I'm so sorry, I was just getting ready for bed, so I didn't wear any lining."

She clearly said it as if she was being rude, but it also seemed like she was.
Hinting at me, right?

Hinata Yuzuru remained calm and said, "I didn't expect it to be white."

"Oh, if I had known this would happen, I would have changed into the black one. What a mistake, what a mistake." Her face was getting redder and redder, but her body involuntarily leaned slightly towards him. Instead of restraining herself, she deliberately relaxed one of her shoulders, and the kimono slid down her round shoulders.

Hinata Yuzuru calmly reached out his hand and pulled up the collar of her kimono: "Be careful not to expose yourself."

He looks like a big log!

Hinata Xun stared at him angrily, as if she was really annoyed: "Is there something wrong?"

"What?" Hinata Yuzuru really didn't react for a moment this time.

"I." Xun puffed out his chest, still angry.

I'm talking about the cheek.

Hinata Yuzuru realized that he couldn't hide anymore, so he could only smile helplessly: "No. I have to say, he is my favorite type."

"Really? But how do you know that? Were you able to see it clearly just now? Eh?"

The temperature on Hinata Kaoru's face felt like a heater, spreading the heat to Hinata Yuzuru's face.

He looked at her disbelieving expression, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Do you want me to see it clearly and identify it carefully?"

"Not really, it's not possible." She smiled, rested her head on his shoulder, and looked up at him.

In those beautiful peach blossom eyes, even the seemingly weird white eyes looked particularly beautiful at this moment under her eyes.

Her eyes stared into his quietly. Although she said nothing, her eyes seemed to speak and convey the girl's feelings.

She is so good at it.

Even Hinata Yuzuru couldn't bear it and felt his heart beating fast at that moment. The girl's slightly heavy breath blew gently from her shoulder onto his cheek, bringing with it a faint fragrance - just like some chewing gum, which even made Hinata Yuzuru feel a little greasy, and his thinking became slower.

Hinata Xun smiled slightly, her voice soft and tender: "It seems that I am not that bad."

Hinata Yuzuru turned her head. When she spoke, her pink lips looked particularly pink and smooth under the dim light in the room, like chewy jelly, which made people curious - what would they taste like?
"Of course. If it's Lord Yuzuru." She didn't finish her words.

Hinata Yuzuru sighed: "If you don't add the word "adult", maybe you will succeed."

"At times like this, just call me by my name."

Hinata Yuzuru actually started teaching her. He looked at Hinata Kaoru, who was blinking and seemed a little dazed, and said gently, "Also, your voice should be gentler and you should be more proactive, like this."

"Xiaoxun." He lowered his head slightly, his voice was frighteningly gentle. Hinata Xun felt her mind suddenly go blank, leaving only his blue eyes, as if there were dark waves flowing, which were about to take her soul away. Her breathing and heartbeat seemed to have all disappeared, leaving only his voice, the cheek that was getting closer and closer, and the pleasant smell on his body.

She closed her eyes unconsciously and raised her chin slightly.

He, he, he, he is so good!

I, I, I'm going to die!

One hand tightly grasped Hinata Yuzuru's sleeve, and the other hand clenched his fist tightly and placed it on his knee. The white insteps under the kimono skirt were stretched tightly, and the small and round toes were all clasped tightly. His whole body was about to turn into wood.

Hinata Yuzuru's smile grew brighter and brighter.

Until she couldn't hold her breath anymore and opened her eyes again while breathing heavily, what she saw was the face of this bastard who was extremely happy.

"What!" she said angrily, and seeing Hinata Yuzuru almost laughing out loud with joy, she finally couldn't hold back.

With fangs bared, he pounced at him.

Hinata Yuzuru swayed his body and when he came to his senses, she was already lying in front of him, with her hands tightly hooked behind his neck, sitting in his arms.

But she still didn't dare to take the initiative. Hesitation, entanglement, madness, fear, and a mess of expressions repeatedly jumped across her pretty face. "Stupid~"

Hinata Yuzuru smiled faintly, lowered his head, and put his forehead against hers: "Do you have a fever?"

do not care!
Sinai!

The lines of rationality in Hinata Xun's mind were finally broken by him. She locked herself around him like a drowning person, wishing she could melt into him. She raised her face and pressed her lips tightly against his.

Uh.

It really sticks.

Hinata Yuzuru's lips were pressed so hard that they hurt slightly.

Her arms were still tightly around his neck, making it impossible for him to move away.

One second, two seconds.

Then she jumped up like a fly and rushed to the door in an instant. Hinata Yuzuru covered his lips and turned his head to look, but he couldn't see even a figure, only the sound of wooden clogs clacking away quickly.

Hinata Yuzuru didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and licked his lips.

He's almost bleeding.

Not
That’s it?
You just think about this and that all day long, but end up not mastering such basic knowledge?
Stinky sister.

Even if I give you a chance, you won’t be able to use it! ?

Hinata Yuzuru raised his head speechlessly, sighing faintly: "You idiot."

"It's really cute."

Hinata Yuzuru stretched, not bothering to laugh at her anymore, he lowered his head and glanced at the remaining designs on the table. Finally, he picked up one of them, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

The pure black armor has the emblem of the Hyuga clan painted on it. The style is similar to the armor of the Second Hokage, but there is a red cloak behind it with the words Fifth Hokage written on it. If there is another red rabbit horse, it would be a bit... That's the taste of the general.

Men, you have to wear armor!

Hinata Yuzuru placed this picture on top, found a pen to mark it, and put it on the table. When Kaoru took it away, he would know what he meant.

I went to the bathhouse to soak quietly for a while and relax. I went back to my room and slept for more than three hours. At dawn, I woke up refreshed.

He changed into the clothes that Xun had sewn for him and looked at himself in the mirror.

The silver hair falls on the red royal robe, which is lined with black. It looks clean and neat, a bit like the black tactical uniform of the special forces before time travel, and the boots he wears are a bit like the AJ sneakers he wore before. Not to mention the classic color scheme, it’s also really cool.

It gives people a sense of being decisive and sharp.

Hinata Yuzuru picked up the Hokage's hat and put it on his head, and he looked completely different now, more dignified and less aggressive.

I'll give it nine out of ten.

He pushed the door open, quietly left home before dawn, and went to the Hokage Building.

The shadow clone was still processing documents with a look of despair. When he saw him, he disbanded without saying a word.

Hinata Yuzuru covered his head and shook his head, sighing, looking at some documents on the table, and remembering that the documents that needed to be processed today had not been sent by the administrative department, he felt a little numb.

reform!

Reform must be made!

How can anyone who is the boss do more than the younger brother?
The elders were all trying to stay healthy, but the Hokage was exhausted to death. Is this appropriate? This is very inappropriate.

Where do all these messes come from that need his judgement?
Grandma Li went on a trip and found a companion who is from the Land of Wind. Do I, as a Hokage, need to decide whether he can join Konoha?
The new street needs funds to be built, but the Finance Department does not plan it well and lets a Hokage decide how much money to spend. Is it possible to spend the money?
What the hell is your Finance Department for? Make reports and do calculations for me!
There are also people who want to open a store and also ask the Hokage if it is okay - do they deserve the Hokage's approval?

The Hokage has to know how to settle accounts, right? If you let Naruto come, he won’t help you and Konoha will go bankrupt! ?

Hinata Yuzuru has been feeling more and more annoyed the more he works these days. The chaotic personnel structure, the bad power structure, the suffocating administrative efficiency...
The entire behavior of the people below highlights a non-stick pan.

Any decision that may be risky must be made by him, the Hokage.

Then why do we need you subordinates?

If you don’t even have the courage to bow and apologize, what’s the point of doing your job!

The Anbu at the door knocked. He answered and a new pile of documents was brought to the table.

The more Hinata Yuzuru thought about it, the more speechless he became. He created a new shadow clone to do the work for him, while he himself was thinking about the personnel list. It was not until there was a knock on the door outside that he answered without even raising his head.

"Master Yuzuru, I'm here to report."

Hinata Kaoru's voice came from the door.

Hinata Yuzuru then remembered that he had forgotten something when he went out in the morning - he left his new secretary at home.

"Am I disturbing you at work?" She looked at the two Hinata Yuzuru who were working hard in the office, and the pile of documents on the table.

Hinata Yuzuru said: "No, you came at the right time."

He raised his head and looked at Hinata Xun. She had changed into a neat new outfit. She wore an open black jacket on the upper body and a white high-necked gown underneath. Under her black skirt, a pair of white calves were exposed, and she was wearing a pair of long boots - she looked youthful and beautiful, but not frivolous.

"You can hand this document over to the Administration Department, which is on the second floor."

Hinata Yuzuru picked up a document and didn't look very happy: "Take a look at it. If you don't understand, ask me now. If you understand, go and ask them to implement it as soon as possible. If you have any comments, sort them out and give them to me."

Hinata Xun agreed immediately, took the document and looked at it for a few times to confirm the content, and then set off immediately.

"By the way, today's clothes look great."

Hinata Yuzuru said this, and Hinata Xun turned her head and saw him working hard, holding the documents tightly in his hands. He couldn't hold back his smile, and he chuckled in a long voice: "Thank you, Hokage~"

Hinata Yuzuru worked quietly, and she quickly went to implement the documents. It had to be said that with a secretary here, he could somewhat relax.

If he still had abundant chakra and a strong body, he would be able to handle the work with shadow clones.

I'm afraid I should have found help a long time ago.

The most important thing is that Xun can not only help him implement the work, but also save himself the trouble of wrangling with those old men and women.

For Hinata Yuzuru, this is the most energy-consuming and time-consuming thing.

The documents were reviewed one after another, and Xun didn't knock on the door until noon.

"Hokage-sama, they..."

Hinata Kaoru succinctly and clearly described the ins and outs and reported the work. Hinata Yuzuru was busy while listening. After listening, he just stopped writing and said: "Very good, you have to keep an eye on them, as soon as possible, try your best, and perform administrative duties conscientiously." I will put the department’s structure and candidates in place.”

He understands so well.

This month, it seemed that he was just tired of official duties and extremely busy, but in fact, even just sitting in the Hokage's office, he was deeply aware of the many problems that existed in Konoha.

For example, right now, the reason why he asked Xun to help him was because of the "neon civil servant characteristics" of these old men and women under his command.

The first point is that they are unwilling to innovate and prefer to be conservative - the current Konoha system is still the same one created by Tobirama. It has not changed at all for decades. You know, Tobirama has been building Konoha since the village was founded.

In other words, since Konoha was established, until Tobirama died, there has been no progress or change at all.

Well, it cannot be said that there has been no change at all: at least, the age of these civil servants is more than twice the average age during the Senju Tobirama period.

If Konoha is compared to a company, there are very few middle-aged elite backbones, and the young graduates are just serving tea and water. Those who are in charge and do things are all old men waiting to receive their pensions.

The second point is the unwillingness to take responsibility.

The work efficiency of these old men is low, and they are also afraid that they will make mistakes before retiring and affect their perfect resumes. If they have any doubts, they will directly report them to the Hokage for decision. In this case, even if something goes wrong, it will be the Hokage's fault.

This results in the fact that whenever they encounter resistance during the reform process, they will shrink back and procrastinate, and finally leave it to the higher-ups to make a decision. The leaders do not dare to make a decision and will hesitate before reporting to the Hokage.

By the time Hinata Yuzuru receives the question raised below, not to mention whether the question is worthy of his judgment and decision, it will probably take three to five days.

Hinata Kaoru seemed to understand, but still nodded and said: "I understand. If there are any questions, I will come back to the Hokage for confirmation."

"Well, I hope that the personnel transfer in the administrative department can be resolved within three days. Official duties cannot be stopped during this period. The names on the list are clearly written. The decision should be made quickly. We must also pay attention to their emotions. Anyone who doesn't want to do it can do it. Let’s go, transfer relevant personnel from the Hyuga clan’s department to take care of it first.”

Hinata Yuzuru said this with full confidence.

This is the benefit brought by his internal reforms in the Hyuga clan.

Not only will he make changes to the Administrative Department, but he will also make adjustments to the Ministry of Education, the Interrogation Department, and so on, one by one, delegating power where necessary, taking back power where necessary, and integrating power where necessary.

Even though he is a third-generation old man, he does not intend to leave the other party idle.

Want to run away after throwing the blame away?
no way!

However, the Third Hokage cannot be allowed to get into the core circle of power, such as the administrative department or the elders' council - even if he shows favor towards Hyuga Yuzuru and can be said to be doing his best, but as long as he is at the center of power, Hyuga Yuzuru's personal reputation and power as the Fifth Hokage cannot be consolidated.

The third generation also understands very well. Recently, they have been staying within the clan. If you don’t need me, I will quietly take care of myself at home.

Hinata Yuzuru has already decided where he's going.

Just go to Ninja School and become the principal, or in other words, the Minister of Education.

In Konoha, there is no such thing as a Ministry of Education. Or, if there is one, it is very informal. The ninjas who serve as teachers are simply included in a separate department, or even an extra-official team. They enjoy unique salary benefits, but there is no one who specifically focuses on education issues.

The teaching materials, teaching content, and methods were all figured out by the ninjas themselves, who then reported them to the Hokage, or the Hokage would just improvise on a whim.

It's just nonsense.

Especially those textbooks, the ideological and moral pamphlets that contain the Will of Fire, are extremely empty.

Hyuga Yuzuru plans to rebuild the Will of Fire himself, standardize the Ministry of Education, and increase the number of students admitted to the Ninja School. In addition to Ninja education, Konoha also needs a large number of scientific researchers, administrative personnel, and even workers who have mastered certain knowledge of Ninja techniques.

However, when he thought about the endless list of things he was going to do to Konoha, he couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh, with a look of sadness on his face.

"Hokage-sama, do you have any more questions?" Hinata Kaoru only saw Hinata Yuzuru fall into deep thought after finishing a sentence. After a while, he let out a melancholy sigh, and his heart tightened.

Hyuga Yuzuru shook his head: "The road has to be walked step by step. You go ahead and try to get it done as soon as possible. The administrative department is the Hokage's hands. They are not strong enough to do anything they want to do."

"Yes, I understand." Xun nodded, but before leaving, he couldn't help but worry: "I heard from the ninjas before that you seem to have not eaten for a long time. Is it really okay?"

"Well, don't worry. I eat some snacks occasionally. Of course they can't see it." Hinata Yuzuru just smiled slightly without further explanation.

What Xun's white eyes couldn't see was that there was quite active natural energy around Hinata Yuzuru all the time, slowly seeping into his body with his breathing.

Now that he has cultivated [Life Return] to the sixth level, even if he does not deliberately absorb natural energy, he can automatically drive it and change the essence of his life as naturally as breathing.

During the process, he not only restored his energy but also his physical strength. Even if he only drank some water occasionally, he could last for three to five days without feeling hungry.

Xun nodded, as if he had thought of something, and left to work for him.

Before Hyuga Yuzuru could finish processing the documents at hand, there was another knock on the door outside the office.

"Enter."

"Hokage-sama."

Uchiha Shisui walked into the room.

He looked at Hinata Yuzuru with complicated eyes, working hard to review documents with his shadow clone, and bowed his head slightly with respect, saying: "I need to report some work to you."

"Senior Shisui, there's no need to be so polite. I allow you to keep the title of adult." Hinata Yuzuru stopped working, raised his head with a smile.

Uchiha Shisui nodded, looked at him, his eyes still filled with inexplicable emotions, and whispered: "This is the recent work report of the Anbu. Also, will the reform that Master Yuzuru mentioned before also involve the Anbu?"

"Of course, my idea is to clearly plan the responsibilities of the ANBU and the roots. Don't you think that the current ANBU and the roots are quite confused in terms of responsibilities, with many overlapping areas? Moreover, the roots are relatively unregulated. Control, in the past month since I took office, I have only received the basic documents, and I have not been able to meet the Fugaku clan chief here to give me a good report on my work."

After Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, he paused, looked at Shisui who had a sad face and opened his mouth but couldn't say anything, he said calmly: "Are you trying to stop my reform of the Anbu?"

"Of course not." Uchiha Shisui shook his head quickly, and he raised his voice: "Anbu is the direct subordinate of the Hokage, and at any time, they must obey the orders of the Hokage. Let alone the reform, even if you decide to cancel the Anbu organization, it is your responsibility.

Just the roots"

He hesitated again and again, but finally expressed his true thoughts: "Please think twice. If you really weaken the roots too much, it is very likely to cause a backlash from the Uchiha clan."

Hinata Yuzuru raised his eyebrows slightly and became interested.

He sat at his desk, his silver hair gleaming in the sunlight coming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, his hands crossed in front of him, not saying a word, but suddenly Shisui in front of him felt that there was an unfamiliar aura surrounding his familiar friend.

The indigo eyes slowly bloomed with white waves, as if they saw through all his secrets.

"What do you think they will do?"

Hinata Yuzuru smiled, it was clearly a question, but it seemed to carry a tone that left no room for doubt.

Zhisui was speechless and lowered his head. After a long time, he said, "I don't know either."

"Then take a look." After Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, Shisui raised his head in shock, but all he could see was that Hinata Yuzuru's usually gentle face was now expressionless and sharp.

He first said to Shisui in a calm tone: "I am also curious about what the Uchiha clan will do and how far they will go."

Then, Hinata Yuzuru increased his tone and said every word: "Then let them do it and show me!"

Shisui only felt that his temples seemed to be slightly sweaty and his back was cold. It was not because of Yuzuru in front of him, but in an instant, he thought of many tragic things that might happen in the future.

He felt Hinata Yuzuru's confidence and determination.

It was also at this moment that I realized that Hyuga Yuzuru was completely different from the third generation.

The three generations don't want anything to go wrong and are only concerned about stability.

But Hinata Yuzuru made it clear that he was not afraid of anything.

After saying this, Hinata Yuzuru smiled faintly, but the smile on his face still looked a little cold. He spoke calmly, stating a fact: "Remember what we talked about before?

I hope Konoha can change and become what we want it to be, a place where the will of fire truly flows.

Although this day came earlier than I thought.

But now that I'm sitting here.

Carrying the name of the Fifth Hokage.

Then you will never be idle.

What is wrong will be corrected!

Even if there are thousands of mountains, we must stand upright.

Even if we are separated by thousands of seas, we still have to ride the wind and waves.

Anyone who tries to stop me will be crushed into dust under the wheel that I push with my own hands!

Shisui, don't hesitate any longer!
Stand behind me and watch!

How I changed the world!"

I just want reform, I just want Konoha to change according to my wishes, turn this Konoha into the Konoha I want, and turn this ninja world into the ninja world I want.

If you don't want to, then don't do it.

You want to protest? Come on, try it.

Even though Uchiha has such a long history, it can definitely be regarded as a small minority in today's Konoha.

Hinata Yuzuru also has the determination to cut off his own arm.

What's more, Hinata Yuzuru firmly believed that there were some people in the Uchiha clan who would stand by him like Shisui.

If you need to have surgery, you have to do it.

Something that three generations would not dare to do.

Then let him do it!
He takes on the responsibility that three generations dared not to take!

Uchiha Shisui was shocked by the terrifying aura of what the man in front of him said. He opened his mouth for a moment and completely lost his words. When he came to his senses, he actually knelt on one knee and shouted excitedly. Voice.

"Uchiha Shisui, I am willing to die for the Hokage!"

Hinata Yuzuru stared at him, and when he felt vaguely embarrassed, he chuckled, stood up, and helped him up himself: "I look forward to it."

Uchiha Shisui even forgot how he walked out of the Hokage's office.

All he knew was that when he left the Hokage Building, his mind was clearer than ever.

The entanglement in his heart between the Uchiha clan, Konoha, and being the Fifth Hokage, his best friend, has also disappeared.

Because he has made his choice.

"I'm a ninja from Konoha."

He took a deep breath, touched the forehead protector on his forehead, and his eyes gradually became cold and stern.

After thinking for a moment, he took quick steps.

I have to see what Itachi thinks - if he is the same as me, then even if there are only two of them, it may be enough to form a resistance in the Uchiha clan. If it is necessary, I can even consider reform like Yuzuru did in the past!

It was only when Shisui found Uchiha Itachi and had a private chat with him.

But he felt a chill in his heart.

It seemed that the plan he had in mind had ended before it even began.
