A few days later, in the Hokage's office.

"Hey, old man." Tsunade sat on Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk and said casually, "If you ask me, let Chiba be the person in charge of piloting the medical reform."

"Ugh……"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his head aching from Tsunade's nagging, put down the documents in his hand and said with a hint of helplessness.

“Tsunade, while I admire Chiba, if we look at him by the standards of a combatant, he’s just a genin, which isn’t quite right.”

"What's inappropriate about it?" Tsunade snorted and crossed her arms, saying, "Maruboshi Kosuke-senpai is just a genin."

"Pfft! Cough cough cough..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had just taken a sip of tea when he heard Tsunade's words and choked, coughing violently.

Maruboshi Kosuke, that's a man even Tobirama-sensei acknowledges!

"If it weren't for punishing himself, Kosuke would have been an outstanding Jonin long ago. How could Chiba compare to Kosuke?"

After calming down, Hiruzen shook his head and said, "Alright, Tsunade, I will consider your opinion, but I think Chiba needs more experience."

“This child has no connections or influence. If you rashly place him in such an important position, it could easily bring him unnecessary trouble,” Hiruzen said.

"Hmph, I can't be bothered to listen to your nonsense, you old geezer!"

Tsunade jumped off Hiruzen's desk, left a message, and swaggered out the door.

"Traitor, traitor!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's liver was aching from the stress.

He picked up the pipe on the table and took two deep drags, then pulled a crystal ball from the drawer, intending to vent his frustration.

"It seems Hiruzen was persuaded, or rather, he did it out of respect for Tsunade..."

Mitomon En, who had been sitting to the side listening to the whole thing, had a slight glint in his eye.

He knew that Hiruzen had already come up with the idea of ​​trying out a reform of the medical ninja system, but it was not yet certain who would be in charge.

Given Hiruzen's personality, after Tsunade's outburst, he might ultimately give in to her and choose the commoner named Chiba...

"Then I'll be going now, Hiruzen."

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi take out the crystal ball, Homura Mitokado wisely took his leave and closed the door behind him.

After leaving the house, Mitokado Homura pushed up his glasses, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

It's worth noting that his daughter is also a medical ninja, and this position in charge would be a perfect stepping stone for her to enter the upper echelons of Konoha in the future.

……

Mitomon Mansion.

"...This is a great opportunity, but the third generation already has a tentative candidate in mind, and as one of the higher-ups, it's not appropriate for me to recommend you directly."

Mitokado Homura sat in the main seat, looking at his excited daughter, and said in an official tone, "However, if that commoner named Chiba voluntarily gives up this opportunity, I might be able to do something for you with Hiruzen."

Mitokado Homura's daughter, Mitokado Tsuki, nodded heavily and said with great joy, "I understand what you mean, Father!"

In other words, with just a little manipulation, the civilian could voluntarily give up the position, and she could take the post of person in charge!

"Hmm." Seeing that his daughter understood, Mitokado Yan instructed, "Remember to give them some benefits, and do things well. Don't embarrass the Mitokado family."

“Yes, Father!” Mitomon Tsuki replied.

……

"Ugh, I have to go to the battlefield again. How annoying!"

Chiba lay on her small bed at home, sighing to herself.

He has both good looks and medical skills, so he simply can't escape a battle against Iwagakure.

dong dong dong.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Chiba jumped out of bed and opened the door.

"You are……?"

A brown-haired woman stood outside the door. Upon seeing Chiba, she slightly raised her chin and spoke with an arrogant expression.

“I am Mito Monzuki, the leader of the seventh medical team, so I am your superior.”

"From the Mitomon family?"

Chiba was a little confused. This woman seemed to have something wrong with her, and he didn't know why she had come to see him.

"I'm here to discuss a win-win deal with you."

Without waiting for Chiba's invitation, Mito Mongetsu strode past Chiba, scrutinized him for a moment, and then casually remarked.

"Your house is really small."

Chiba's face turned cold.

His home was indeed very small, only about 20 or 30 square meters, but this house was the only thing his parents left him after they sacrificed their lives.

"Speak, what kind of deal?" Chiba lost his patience and asked bluntly.

"These civilians are so rude..."

After silently grumbling to herself, Mito Monzuki put on a polite smile: "It's like this, I hope you can voluntarily give up the election for a certain position, and in exchange, I can meet some of your needs."

"Meet my needs?"

Chiba looked Mito Mongetsu up and down, then gave her a look of disdain.

You're not bad looking, but with your plain figure, how can you satisfy my needs? Just with your mouth?

"Humph!"

Feeling a little uncomfortable under Chiba's strange gaze, Mito Mongetsu shifted her posture and said, "How about this, I'll offer you two million taels?"

Chiba shook her head. Seeing this, Mitomon Tsuki frowned and said with some displeasure, "Why? Putting aside the fact that this position may not even belong to you, the conditions I offered you were already good enough!"

"It's pretty good."

Chiba calmly replied, "But even someone as important as you would spend a fortune to buy such an important position, and you want me to give it up? How can that be considered a win-win situation?"

“You…!” Mito Mongetsu was speechless for a moment.

Chiba smiled without saying a word. He had seen many people like Mito Mongetsu in his previous life who bullied others by taking advantage of their connections.

The positions that everyone works so hard to get through exams and competitions, some people can just make a few connections and get in. I didn't expect it to be even more serious in the ninja world.

The First Hokage: We can't rely on connections to run for Hokage!

Second generation: Okay, big brother!

Third generation: Yes, Master.

Fourth Generation: Yes, Grandmaster.

Fifth Generation: Okay, Grandpa...

Seeing that Chiba remained unmoved, Mitomon Tsuki's voice turned cold: "Have you thought this through, Chiba? You're going to refuse the Mitomon clan!"

"Ha! Does the Mitomon clan think they can bully others just because they're powerful?"

Chiba sneered. He had already swallowed his pride in his past life, but now that he had a cheat ability, would he let them bully him?

"I'm telling you, even if the Sarutobi clan comes—they'll still have to pay extra!!"

"(OωO?)! What?!"

Mito Monzuki had thought the negotiations had fallen apart, but Chiba's sudden turn of events almost broke her slender waist.

"This position is just a small stepping stone for your powerful clans, but for a commoner like me, it's an opportunity to change my destiny!"

Seeing the bewildered look on Mito Mongetsu's face, Chiba said with a pained expression, "I'll give you a price: ten million ryo, no bargaining."

"Impossible!" Mitomon Tsuki said in a deep voice, "An A-rank mission only earns a few hundred thousand taels, I'll give you a maximum of five million taels!"

“Okay, it’s a deal,” Chiba replied with a smile.

It doesn't matter how much money it is, since he wasn't planning on keeping his promise anyway. Why not take money that's free?

If he weren't so weak and powerless against the powerful clan, he would have loved to hang up the arrogant Mito Mongetsu and give him a good beating!

"Sigh, there are just too many characters in Naruto who die inexplicably at the hands of their own people. Until I have the strength, I should just endure it for now," Chiba thought to himself.

“Very well, then five million taels.”

Mitomon glanced at Chiba and said arrogantly, "I advise you not to harbor any improper thoughts. In Konoha, no one dares to play tricks on our Mitomon clan."

“Even the Senju and Uchiha clans are a thing of the past,” Mito Monzuki said slowly.

"Six, why don't you go to the Uchiha clan's territory now and shout three times that Uchiha is a thing of the past, and see if those jealous people will come out with knives to slash you?"

They might just wipe out your entire clan; they're capable of doing something like that.

After muttering a couple of complaints to himself, Chiba laughed and said, "Of course, I know the rules, I'm paid to do things."

Chiba didn't take Mito Mototsuki's threat to heart. After treating another hundred or so high-quality patients, he would make Konoha's F4 a thing of the past.

……

dong dong dong.

Not long after seeing Mito Monzuki off, before Chiba could even get back to bed, there was another knock on the door.

"That arrives so fast?"

Chiba thought someone had come to deliver money, so he excitedly opened the door with a warm smile on his face.

"Hmm? You're happy to have seen me, Chiba-kun."

The blonde woman at the door seemed to have misunderstood something, and a smile that bloomed on her pretty face in an instant was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Tsunade-sama...?" Chiba was stunned, his heart pounding wildly.

"Yes, seeing you makes me feel pretty good too," Tsunade said with a smile, patting the stunned Chiba on the shoulder.

Chapter 14 Tsunade: Chiba, let's take a gamble.

"Lady Tsunade, is there something you need from me?" Chiba asked hastily after regaining his composure.
