In Naruto, the more harems you have, the stronger you are.

"I am really old. Perhaps it is time for me to give way to the younger generation..."

…………

After Danzo returned to his root, he suddenly snorted.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, this guy is getting weaker as he gets older."

"If I were the Hokage, Konoha would have become extremely powerful!"

After finishing his daily complaints, Danzo said coldly:

"Witch."

As soon as Danzo finished his words, a plump blonde woman wearing a cat mask walked out from the darkness.

Chapter 4.4: A Grassroots Team, a New System (K words)

The woman's face couldn't be seen clearly because she was wearing a mask.

But the long golden hair brushed over her shoulders as softly as a veil.

The fluffy golden bangs hang on the forehead of the mask like willow branches.

And what's weird is that this female ninja seems to be short-sighted.

After she came out of the darkness, it took her several seconds to confirm Danzo's location.

Danzo looked at the strongest spy in the Root, who was also the best medical ninja in the Root.

A sneer appeared on his wrinkled face:

"Miko, you must go to the capital of the Kingdom of Wind immediately and spread the rumors."

"Let's say that the Sand Village has been dissatisfied with the daimyo for a long time, and the daimyo of heaven, who has just taken office, is also very dissatisfied with the Sand Village."

"If possible, it's best to sneak in."

The woman wearing the cat mask nodded slightly, her voice gentle and indifferent:

"As ordered."

Seeing the performance of the woman in front of him, Danzo's eyes flickered and he added:

"After this is accomplished, the orphanage's funding will be increased by 10%."

Hearing this, the woman's eyes immediately lit up brightly.

The voice was no longer cold and indifferent as before, and said respectfully:

"I obey my orders!"

Looking at the blonde woman's receding back, Danzo's face gradually turned cold.

The strongest spy ninja that he once took pride in, Yakushi Nono.

Ever since she started adopting orphans and became the so-called director of an orphanage.

I became more and more soft-hearted and had more and more independent opinions.

For a Root ninja who is required to abandon all emotions and become an obedient and heartless tool, these two points are the biggest shortcomings.

Perhaps this very useful tool can only be used a few more times before it has to be discarded.

Yakushi Nono Yuichi walked out of the Root Base.

She immediately took off the mask on her face and put it away, took out a pair of round-frame glasses and put them on, and the blurry scene in her eyes immediately became clear.

As Pharmacist Nono walked toward the street, the expression on her face slowly changed.

A gentle smile gradually appeared on the originally tense and indifferent face.

Her entire temperament instantly changed from a cold and ruthless Root Ninja to a gentle big sister next door.

"The Third Ninja World War is about to begin. I wonder how many children will become orphans without any support by then."

As Yakushi Nono was thinking this in her heart, a hint of sadness appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Ever since he took in an orphan out of weakness during a mission.

She found herself becoming more and more soft-hearted and having more and more normal emotions.

To this end, he even took out most of his savings to establish a new orphanage.

Even though she knew that this mentality was a fatal weakness for herself as a Root Ninja, she still couldn't avoid doing these things.

…………

“I want to start an orphanage.”

In the Sand Village at night, listening to the whistling sound of wind and sand outside.

Li Fan said to Chiyo who was sitting next to him.

"Orphanage?"

"This... We in the Sand Village cannot spare such a large space to build an orphanage, and it also requires a lot of financial resources."

Chiyo said hesitantly.

Aoki, who was sitting on the other side, also objected:

"Fourth generation, there is no need to build an orphanage. It is time-consuming and laborious."

Li Fan shook his head slightly, his tone firm:

"The number of ninjas in our Sand Village is the smallest among the five major ninja villages."

"Establishing an orphanage will help us get a large number of ninja reserves."

"Moreover, most of these orphans who have been taken in by us since childhood know how to be grateful because they have suffered in their childhood."

Establishing an orphanage was an idea Li Fan had long had.

During wartime, countless children will lose their families, live on the streets, and eventually starve to death.

It's such a pity to let them starve to death.

When Aoki heard this, he became even more confused, with a strange look on his rough face.

"Well, Fourth Generation, if we really want to train ninjas, we have a lot of children in our village who can be trained."

"We were already pursuing a policy of training one out of three due to a severe shortage of resources. There was no need to look for outsiders to train us. After all, it's better to keep the wealth within the family."

Li Fan frowned slightly, his tone carrying a tone that brooked no room for rebuttal.

"No, the children of the Sand Village must be trained, and those outside must also be trained!"

"This is my first official order as the Kazekage!"

Qingmu finally closed his mouth helplessly and nodded slightly:

"Yes, obey!"

Seeing that Aoki was obviously unconvinced, and the confused expressions on the Chiyo siblings' faces.

Li Fan slowed down his tone and explained:

"Don't worry, these children from the orphanage will definitely not take up the original ninja quota of the Sand Village."

"By then, the number of students graduating from the Ninja School will increase by half."

"Besides, haven't you noticed that the number of geniuses emerging from our Sand Village in recent years has been decreasing year by year?"

"These are all caused by our increasingly congested environment."

When everyone present heard this, they were all stunned.

They never thought about this reason, they just thought it was bad luck and that geniuses are hard to come by.

Li Fan began to explain.

after a while.

Looking at the head-sized piece of chakra-conducting metal on the desk.

The defiant expression on Aoki's face finally disappeared, and he nodded in agreement with admiration.

Chiyo and her brother also expressed their agreement with satisfaction.

After a few minutes.

Looking at the empty office.

Li Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

If it weren't for this chakra metal, it would be difficult to convince them.

The Warring States Period several decades ago.

The ninja clans fought against each other and were hostile to each other. They only used blood relatives from their own clan as fighting force and only married within their own clan.

As a result, the ninjas were stuck in a closed atmosphere and found it difficult to innovate.

If you only inherit things from your ancestors, you will eventually be eliminated by the ever-changing times.

This situation will lead to the fact that except for some large clans, there will be a very small number of geniuses who will revitalize the ninja clan.

Most of the ninja clans are in a continuous decline.

Until Hashirama Senju established the ninja village.

It initially broke the shackles of communication between the various ninja clans and also recruited a large number of civilians.

As a result, the development of ninjutsu has ushered in a leap forward, the average strength has continued to improve, and geniuses have emerged in large numbers.

Although the Sand Village also learned Konoha's practices, they did not learn them comprehensively.

By now, the Sand Village has become like the ninja clans of the Warring States period.

Top-level combat power is gradually becoming scarce.

Even the upper-level combat power is decreasing from generation to generation, and it is obvious that each generation is worse than the previous one.

The Sand Ninjas became more and more conservative, thus burying many talented people who developed in the later stages.

In the original work, Naruto's period more than ten years later.

The huge Sand Village can only be supported by Gaara, who has just barely reached the level of Kage.

The more famous jonin such as Fushigi and Maki are all from the previous generation and their strength is just so-so.

In the original work, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa was attacked and killed by Orochimaru.

After being resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, he was able to be on par with the grown-up Gaara.

This already speaks volumes.

So Li Fan must make changes to the current Sand Village.

It is very necessary to establish an orphanage and absorb fresh blood from outside.

Since the establishment of the orphanage in Konoha Village.

After every Ninja World War, a large number of war orphans were adopted for screening and training.

Many of these children became Konoha ninjas, and a few even became elites of the "Root" organization and the Anbu.

Inject a lot of fresh blood into Konoha.

As a result, Konoha became increasingly powerful, and was always the first to recover after each Ninja World War.

In the past, the Sand Village was unable to take care of itself.

They can’t even take care of the children in their own village, so of course they don’t have the ability to build an orphanage to attract outside blood.

But now that I'm here, the Sand Village has enough capacity to build an orphanage.

Not only that, the scope of the Sand Village is too small now.

Moreover, many plans have become very unreasonable and must be rebuilt, and the scale of the Sand Village must be expanded several times!

But there is no rush for this matter. Once the Sand Village is expanded, too many parties' interests will be affected.

My current prestige is not enough, I can only build up slowly.

Li Fan casually pulled out the document on the table and looked at it with a frown.
