"No," Nara Shikaku said first.
As the mastermind behind the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, he had already recognized Naruto's extraordinary abilities and foreseen that he would bring about a major transformation to Konoha.
Moreover, Naruto's recent arrangement of the Shadow Guard was undoubtedly an attempt to win him over, so Nara Shikaku naturally wanted to occupy a good position to observe the changes in Konoha.
With Nara Shikaku taking the lead, the Yamanaka and Akimichi clans naturally had no objections, and Hyuga Hiashi also quickly expressed his opinion, with most of the Jonin voting in favor.
Thus, the three orders issued by Naruto after taking office were successfully passed.
Chapter 51 Reform
Konoha City Center.
Because of Orochimaru's destruction, many houses need to be rebuilt.
At this moment, a batch of building materials is being lifted high, but it is not a person doing this, but a pile of sand.
The owner of the sand is naturally Gaara.
He crossed his arms over his chest and silently did something similar.
Beside him, Kankuro was also manipulating the puppets to work, muttering, "Can't that Wood Release ninja just clap his hands and build a lot of houses? Why do we have to build them?"
"Because it consumes chakra, and we're still prisoners right now," Temari said as she approached.
Her assigned task was to generate electricity using wind at a wind farm, and it was just past her break time.
Seeing Temari approaching, Kankuro leaned closer and whispered, "What exactly does Konoha mean by this? They're not killing us, nor are they locking us up, and they're making us work in this densely populated area. Aren't they afraid Gaara will go berserk?"
"Didn't the Fifth Hokage say that he would send us back after reaching an agreement with Sunagakure?"
"Heh, then his plan is probably going to fall through. Sunagakure is so poor, what supplies can they get in exchange? Besides, those high-ranking officials probably hope that Gaara can't go back."
Temari patted Kankuro on the head, her eyes constantly glancing towards Gaara.
Gaara continued working silently, seemingly oblivious to their conversation.
Temari sighed helplessly. She knew perfectly well what the current situation was like.
"At least, Gaara's emotions have stabilized a lot."
……
Inside the ninja academy, Umino Iruka received a training notice and couldn't help but smile wryly.
Naruto really surprised him.
The reason why the Ninja Academy uses the Three Body Technique as the graduation exam instead of the Escape Technique is twofold: firstly, the Escape Technique is far more difficult than the Three Body Technique; and secondly, the deceptive nature of the Three Body Technique can sometimes play a crucial role on the battlefield.
Although the graduation requirements are undoubtedly stricter than before, Iruka is somewhat pleased.
The underlying meaning is that children will no longer need to go to the battlefield, so the main focus of their training will naturally shift to escape techniques that are more helpful for production.
Iruka and several teachers walked into the classroom; today they would be students again.
As soon as I entered, I saw a man wearing sunglasses.
"Mr. Ebisu? So you're the one in charge of training?"
“That’s right. After all, I’ve taught several generations of Hokage candidates. It’s not surprising that my teaching ability is valued.” Ebisu pushed up his sunglasses, his face full of pride.
Ebisu is a special Jonin who was originally Sarutobi Konohamaru's tutor and has many years of teaching experience. This time, he answered the Hokage's call and became a glorious training teacher.
"Ahem, enough of the small talk. Everyone, we need to step up our game. The quota we've been given is that within a year, at least one teacher needs to learn each of the Five Elements Escape Technique, Shadow Clone Technique, Medical Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, and Sealing Technique. Today, I'll be in charge of teaching the Shadow Clone Technique."
A teacher immediately raised their hand and asked, "So many? Is it really possible to complete them? And even if the teacher is willing to teach, the student might not be able to learn them in six years, right?"
"The Fifth Hokage also considered this issue and decided to extend the students' time at the Ninja Academy, changing the original six years of teaching to five years. Once the students mastered one of the aforementioned ninjutsu techniques, they could graduate and enter a three-year internship period."
"The internship period is similar to the current system of instructing Jonin to train students, but it will focus more on the students' learning rather than the completion of tasks, and allow students to develop in the direction they are good at or interested in."
"You should receive specific notification in a while."
Upon hearing this arrangement, an argument immediately broke out in the audience.
"What? Does that mean students won't start going on missions until they're fourteen or fifteen? Wouldn't that just increase the burden on the village?"
"Yes, in the past, children were able to support themselves before they were ten years old. Look at them now."
"The fifth generation boss spoils the kids way too much."
Just as several people were questioning the policy, Iruka stood up.
"Everyone, wasn't the First Generation's original intention in establishing the village to create a good environment for children to grow up in?"
"We cannot treat special policies during wartime as normal. Sending such young children to the battlefield is wrong in the first place."
As soon as Iruka finished speaking, most of the teachers stood up to support him, drowning out the voices of the opponents.
Ebisu nodded in satisfaction: "What's your name?"
"Umino Iruka."
"What?! So you're the teacher who trained the Fifth Hokage!" Ebisu exclaimed in surprise.
He was just bragging about having trained a Hokage candidate, but then someone else actually trained him to become Hokage.
The other teachers present were also quite shocked.
Iruka scratched his head sheepishly: "It's mainly Naruto's own effort; I just encouraged him at the right time."
Upon hearing this, the teachers immediately took out their notebooks and wrote down, "Students should be encouraged."
"Um... Teacher, shall we continue the lesson?" Iruka knew that this was going to go on forever, so he quickly reminded Ebisu.
"Oh, right, class is starting."
Ebisu put away his notebook, feeling somewhat sentimental.
He always aimed to train a Hokage, and in his view, Konohamaru was very likely to become Hokage. On the contrary, he didn't think much of Naruto, that little fox demon.
But now that the facts are clear, he should seize the opportunity for training.
……
"A Kurama doll... Pfft, System, you really came up with this idea." Naruto couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw the system's proposed method to improve Kurama's reputation.
The Nine-Lama inside him couldn't hold back any longer: "I'm so tall and mighty, and you've made me into this tiny little thing?!"
"Oh? Kurama, so you're worried about the design being ugly? Didn't someone want to make a doll in your likeness?"
"Hmph, since you two have said so, what can I do?"
Nowadays, Kurama, Naruto, and the system can be considered friends. The system has even lifted Kurama's seal so that he can live more comfortably.
However, for ordinary villagers, the Nine-Tails remains a symbol of terrifying natural disasters, and changing this can only be done slowly.
After becoming Hokage, as the Third Hokage said, he was indeed filled with all sorts of affairs, and the files piled up on Naruto's desk every day were as high as a small mountain.
Fortunately, the system excels at handling these kinds of situations. Just like when dealing with Orochimaru, creating a system shadow clone is all it takes to easily resolve the issue.
The suppression of Sunagakure, the reform of the Ninja Academy, and the assignment of some ninjas to production are all plans that Naruto and the system discussed together, and so far the results have been quite good.
"Alright, let's head to the Hyuga clan's territory next."
Chapter 52 Naruto Just Watching
Inside the meeting room of the Hyuga clan compound.
The Hyuga high-ranking members argued incessantly, and it wasn't impossible for them to get into a fight if things got heated.
Such incidents have been occurring daily within the Hyuga clan's territory since the Chunin Exams.
As the head of the family, Hiashi Hyuga remained silent, sitting in the chief seat.
Having just been discharged from the hospital, he did not express any opinion, or rather, he would not take sides until Naruto arrived.
Neji also attended the meeting.
Normally, he wouldn't have been qualified, but considering that Naruto had fought him before coming up to beat up the Hyuga main family elder, and he couldn't figure out the relationship between the two, and was afraid of offending Naruto, he had no choice but to let Neji attend the meeting as well.
Neji was initially indignant and engaged in a heated debate with the scholars, but how could he possibly win against these old men who were experienced in sophistry?
So later he simply stopped talking altogether.
After all, the future of the Hyuga clan truly rests on Naruto's decision.
At that moment, a member of the family who had separated from the main branch rushed into the meeting room.
"Who allowed you in? You have no right to enter this meeting room. Get out!" a Zong family elder, who was in a fit of anger, shouted.
"But...but..."
"Gentlemen, am I not qualified to enter this conference room either?"
A familiar voice came from the doorway, startling everyone who turned to look outside.
The person who arrived was none other than Naruto Uzumaki.
“You are qualified, of course you are qualified, there is no one more qualified than you in the entire ninja world.” The clan elder suddenly seemed like a completely different person.
Naruto didn't seem to care much and strode forward.
At this moment, all the Hyuga clan members, whether from the main family or branch families, were watching him nervously.
Looking around, Naruto said calmly, "You all should know why I'm here today: to gather the Hyuga clan members here."
The elder of the Zong family immediately felt a tightness in his chest and stammered, "You...you want to abolish the caged bird?"
Naruto smiled mysteriously: "Yes and no, just do as I say."
Under pressure, several clan elders had no choice but to send someone to summon all the clan members.
On the way here, many members of the Hyuga clan had a vague idea of Naruto's purpose.
Therefore, the faces of those who split up the family are often filled with joy, while those of the main family are ashen-faced.
When two completely opposite feelings collide, an argument is inevitable.
The main family instinctively wanted to use the Caged Bird Seal to teach the branch family a lesson, but today the branch family didn't take it seriously at all. The main family was also worried about angering Naruto, so they didn't dare to really do anything to the branch family.
Soon, everyone had arrived.
Naruto spoke up:
