Madara, let's change the world together!

Minato smiled and shook his head.

"The Hokage still has a lot of work to do, and there are some troublesome things to deal with recently."

At this point, his tone became somewhat complaining.

"Mr. Yuan, that compensation payment of yours is really giving me a headache."

Kiyoshi was not surprised that Minato would complain.

"If you can solve this problem, then you can be sure you'll be in a stable position as Hokage."

Upon hearing this, Minato's eyes showed some worry.

Only when you sit in that position will you understand what problems exist in the village.

He looked at Kiyoshi Gen.

Could this wise Mr. Yuan perfectly solve this problem?

Minato opened his mouth as if to ask a question, but then closed it again.

The problems within Konoha should not be discussed with Kiyoi Gen.

"Mr. Gen, Ms. Kazesa, Lady Tsunade, Shizune, Kurenai, I'm going back to work now."

Minato bid farewell to everyone and disappeared from the spot, having already returned to the Hokage's office.

"Yuan, what kind of trouble is Minato talking about?"

Tsunade was a little curious, and Shizune and Kurenai next to her also looked like they wanted to know.

Kiyoi Gen was about to answer, but when he saw Tsunade's red lips covered in lipstick, he had a wicked thought.

"Kiss me and I'll tell you, okay?"

Tsunade smiled and then raised her fist.

"Then I'll kiss you with this."

Kiyoshi quickly turned around and stood behind Kazesa, using her as a shield.

"I'll talk, I'll talk, okay!"

He wrapped his arms around Feng Sha's waist for comfort, and Feng Sha helplessly patted her husband's head, her eyes sparkling with doting affection.

"It's about the distribution of the compensation."

Upon hearing this, everyone realized what was happening.

"Brother Yuan, are you saying that Lord Minato is troubled by this?"

Kurenai felt something was off. Wouldn't it be better to just follow the rules?

Tsunade's expression turned serious, as if she had thought of something.

"Red, rules are rigid, but people are flexible."

“Many people know how to ‘legally’ obtain benefits.”

Kiyoshi Gen subconsciously switched into teacher mode and began explaining things to them.

"Konoha's power structure is easy to understand."

"With the Hokage as the supreme leader, all Jonin will jointly decide the direction of Konoha."

"This is the situation on the surface."

"Actually, if you look at it from another angle, you'll find that Konoha was controlled by many ninja clans."

"This is also determined by the historical factor that Konoha was founded by many ninja clans at its inception."

Shizune showed a thoughtful expression, and roughly understood what Kiyoi Gen wanted to express.

"Lord Gen, are you saying that Lord Minato's current trouble is that these ninja clans will interfere with the distribution of the compensation money?"

Qingjingyuan nodded.

"Two hundred million taels is no small sum."

"For any ninja clan in Konoha, this large sum of money could be used to cultivate a large number of outstanding juniors and further expand the clan's influence."

"In Konoha, ninja clans profit from their own clans."

"The most typical example is the Uchiha clan."

“Minato’s desire to give the bulk of the compensation to the civilian ninja who sacrificed their lives is bound to cause conflict with those who want to benefit their own clans.”

Kurenai put her hands on her hips and looked at Kiyoi Gen with a helpless yet amused expression.

"Brother Yuan, are you deliberately making things difficult for Lord Minato?"

"Hahaha, I guess you could say that."

"I'm giving him a chance; whether he can seize it is up to him."

Kiyoi Gen patted Yuhi Kurenai's head with a kind expression.

In reality, the main reason he was willing to give out compensation this time was to create conflict and put Minato on the opposite side of the Konoha ninja clan.

The purpose was to observe Minato's actions and see if he truly had the resolve to disrupt Konoha's current stable situation.

We'll have to wait and see what Minato does this time.

Chapter 230 How to Divide the Cake

Inside the Hokage's office, Minato Namikaze frowned as he looked at the distribution of the compensation funds in front of him.

That's going too far!

If the pension is divided into twenty parts, it would probably be distributed as follows.

The Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan each received a total of five portions;

The Hyuga clan, Yamanaka clan, Nara clan, and Akimichi clan each received seven portions.

The Aburame clan and the Inuzuka clan each received two portions;

All the other minor ninja clans, except for the Uchiha, received a share.

The Uchiha clan and the families of the fallen civilian ninjas received the remaining five portions.

The Uchiha clan received their compensation strictly according to regulations, no more and no less.

It's understandable that the Uchiha clan, having strictly followed the regulations, didn't receive the extra compensation this time.

It's clear that the civilian ninjas suffered the most casualties in this war!

Why should the lion's share still go to the ninja clan?!

Inside the office, former Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi could tell from Minato Namikaze's hand gripping the list that he was deeply troubled.

He sighed and said.

"Watergate, this is the most suitable allocation method."

"If you want others to support you, learning to compromise is the first lesson."

Minato's face darkened.

What was the purpose of him borrowing the pension money from Qingjingyuan?

Is it to give money to the ninja clan?

That was to give an explanation to all the ninjas who gave their lives on the battlefield!

The village owes them an explanation!

Although members of various ninja clans, due to their clan secret techniques or bloodline limits, play a far greater role on the battlefield than ordinary civilian ninjas.

But just because of this, should we ignore the contributions of the weak who sacrificed their lives?

The ninja clans take the lion's share of the compensation, while a large number of civilian ninjas have to bear the risk of reduced rewards for the missions. This is too much!

"I disagree!"

Minato slammed his fist on the table, his expression furious.

"The number of ordinary ninjas who died in this three wars was more than the total number of ninjas from all the ninja clans combined, so why are they only receiving less than a quarter of the compensation?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the furious Minato with a calm expression.

"Because what supports the Hokage, what supports the entire Hidden Leaf Village, is the ninja clan."

"Their abilities and knowledge far surpass those of ordinary ninjas, making them the main force in the war and the backbone of Konoha."

"But even ordinary ninjas can grow into a force that supports Konoha!"

"I am one!"

Minato tried his best to refute Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, but the other party remained calm.

"Minato, do you still consider yourself a commoner ninja?"

Upon hearing this, Minato choked up.

"You are a genius, which is why Jiraiya was able to take you as his apprentice."

"When you become Jiraiya's apprentice, you are no longer a commoner ninja."

"Just like Jiraiya back then."

"Commoner ninja is just a symbol that you once had."

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued.

"You are now Kushina Uzumaki's husband, and the Hokage of Konoha."

"Is this something an ordinary ninja could do?"

"Your successor is a genius with the Uzumaki bloodline, the child of the Fourth Hokage."

"He is destined to attract the attention of countless people and will become one of Konoha's top forces under the tutelage of renowned teachers."

"It was all destined."

"Would the children of commoner ninjas receive this kind of treatment?"

Minato couldn't refute it at all.
