I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

There's always work to do.

Therefore, if Kitahara Kaede were to be specifically nominated to become Hokage, he would definitely refuse.

Refer to the third generation.

so.

Now the Second Hokage has nominated Kitahara Kaede to become the Fifth Hokage, and he is the Sixth Hokage...

His role is... a government affairs assistant, oh no, more like Kitahara Kaede's secretary!?

Kakashi is somewhat withdrawn.

However, he also discovered that his strength to become Hokage was still far from sufficient.

"%..." Eh.

Life is tough, Kakashi sighed.

Four hours later, Kakashi brought Kitahara Kaede back to the office.

He also finished organizing all the data and reports.

The office is finally clean and tidy.

Because there were two Hokage, an extra table was added.

· ···Request flowers··· ······

Kitahara Kaede looked at the organized documents.

Information about the village's ninjas, and also financial statements.

Over the years, Konoha's strength has indeed declined significantly.

The number of ninjas has reached more than 3, but... less than 20% of them are actually still alive.

In other words, the current number of Konoha ninjas is only a little over 6000.

Of these 6,000-plus people, the majority were genin and chunin.

Another group were injured and unable to fight.

The distribution of higher-ranking special ninjas and ninjas is also very poor, with most of them being products of various clans.

For example.

The total number of Jonin in Konoha is 433, but this includes both elite Jonin and special Jonin.

Special Jonin refers to ninjas whose skill level in all aspects is far from that of a Jonin.

This group consists of 77 people.

Like the unfortunate Hayate Gekko from a few days ago, he was also a special Jonin. His through shield was good at concealing his presence, making him suitable for eavesdropping.

Therefore, he was promoted to Special Jonin, but his strength was only that of an Elite Chunin.

Then there were the other Jonin, a dozen or so from the Sarutobi clan who were around 60 years old, and they were elders or something like that.

These people are just occupying positions, but they won't listen to you.

And you want someone in their sixties to go to war?

Do they have any conscience?

And it's not just the Sarutobi family, but also the Aburame family... oops, I mean the Aburame family, who raise insects.

The Nara clan cultivated medicinal herbs and raised deer.

and many more……

The Jonin are mostly distributed among these clans, and among them, there is another special force.

That is the Hyuga clan.

Although they were a later-born family, they became prominent after the Uchiha clan was wiped out.

The Hyuga clan is born with the Byakugan, resulting in an astonishing number of Chunin and Jonin.

There were more than 50 Jonin and more than 100 Chunin.

In other words... what's happening right now is... the ninja clan gatherings are too troublesome.

The Hyuga clan, which has the highest proportion of members, appears to be very loyal, the kind that are naive and innocent. When the Third Hokage asked the Hyuga clan to hand over their clan leader to appease the anger of the Kumogakure, they did so.

In the end, Hiashi's younger brother, Hizashi, died in his place.

And then they actually did it.

This shows that this family... lacks decisiveness and courage, meaning they are loyal to Konoha.

As long as you are the Hokage, they will listen to you.

Kitahara Kaede still has Hinata, but that makes the Hyuga clan even harder to manage.

Ultimately, it's not a good solution.

and so……

This is probably why Kakashi showed him the information first.

Because... a major reason why the Third Hokage has been inactive all these years is his inability to maintain a balance among the ninjas.

"As the Hokage, I must shoulder the responsibility of commanding my subordinates," Kakashi said.

"But the clan-based clustering effect among ninjas these days is too strong."

“Regarding this…” Kakashi said, “Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”

Kitahara Kaede remained expressionless.

He clapped his hands lightly.

"Uzuki Yugao, come in," he said.

The female ANBU at the door paused for a moment, probably wondering why Kitahara Kaede could say her name so quickly.

But they still obediently came in.

"Go to the sealing chamber," Kitahara Kaede said.

0. 0

"Bring me the Book of Seals."

"Eh?" X2

Kakashi and Uzuki Yugao were both stunned for a moment.

“Go get it and you’ll have a solution,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"..." Kakashi.

Kakashi was somewhat skeptical.

But she nodded nonetheless.

"Then go ahead."

Kakashi and Uzuki Yugao are close in age and both have worked in the Anbu. Kakashi was once the Anbu captain of Team 6, where Uzuki Yugao was, so he knows very well that Uzuki Yugao is loyal to Konoha.

Therefore, it is acceptable to arrange for Yugao to retrieve the Book of Seals, which is so important that only the Hokage can see it and that the Hokage is responsible for protecting it.

[Observing Kitahara Kaede's small group (^_-)]

However, the people in the small group were somewhat confused.

[Big Pillar Silly]: What are you going to do with the Book of Seals?

[Big Pillar Silly]: Could it be that he wants to learn some forbidden technique?

[Minato Namikaze]: This possibility cannot be ruled out.

[Minato Namikaze]: But does Kitahara-kun still need to learn ninjutsu given his current strength?

[Big Pillar Silly]: Um... I don't think it's necessary.

[Unmarried women of marriageable age]: I also think it's unnecessary.

[Shukaku]: You absolutely mustn't learn from this guy!

Shukaku, who was thoroughly humiliated, knew all too well that Kitahara Kaede hadn't used her full strength when she attacked it.

So if this kind of guy gets stronger... then will the tailed beasts even be allowed to live?

It said that Kurama said Uchiha Madara was very strong, and even though it couldn't beat him, it still disagreed.

But Kitahara Kaede... it didn't want to fight anymore.

[Hashirama Senju's younger brother]: So what does he want to learn? @Tobirama Senju

Tobirama Senju: ...

[Tobirama Senju]: I'm thinking about it too.

[Tobirama Senju]: Do you remember when Naruto showed the Scroll of Seals to Kaede Kitahara?

[Big Pillar Silly]: Mm-hmm.

[Minato Namikaze]: But Kitahara-kun didn't want to. Instead, he made my Naruto learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

[Dazhuzi Hanhan]: So, what else does he want to see now?

Tobirama Senju: ...

[Big Pillar Silly]: Tobirama, use your clever brain to think of something!

[Tobirama Senju]: Brother, you figure it out yourself.

Tobirama Senju: Wait a minute...

[Tobirama Senju]: Ha... I think I understand now.

Tobirama Senju: This guy is amazing!

Tobirama Senju: It seems my perspective was too narrow!

Minato Namikaze: The Second Hokage!?

Minato felt that only he understood Tobirama now, while the others were still completely clueless.

[Tobirama Senju]: Um... cough cough.

[Tobirama Senju]: Well then, I'll say it. You all saw Kitahara Kaede's notebook earlier, right? It said it was for Sasuke as a Hokage candidate or the Eighth Hokage. So, even though the Uchiha clan was resurrected through Edo Tensei, the Uchiha clan will still support Konoha.

[Tobirama Senju]: And the Uchiha clan will continue to work hard for Konoha, right?

Minato Namikaze: Yes, I saw it.

[Tobirama Senju]: I think so too, but I realized that this is too narrow a scope. The Edo Tensei technique I left for my descendants can do more than just resurrect the Uchiha clan.

[Tobirama Senju]: What the Hokage of Konoha left for their successors was... the foundation of Konoha.

[Tobirama Senju]: Decades have passed, how many talented people has Konoha produced?

[Minato Namikaze]: Could it be... I think I understand now.

[Big Pillar Silly]: ? ? ? So what is it?! I want to know.

Hashirama was still puzzled.

[Tobirama Senju]: So I told you to read more books when you have time, because your brain is still not very sharp.

[Minato Namikaze]: Well, what the First and Second Hokage meant was that his Impure World Reincarnation was originally used for the mutual multiplication of explosive tags.

[Minato Namikaze]: But this reanimated version can also be seen as an impure past companion to assist me.

【Minato Namikaze】: And Konoha has produced so many brilliant and dazzling ninjas over the years.

[Minato Namikaze]: It should be said that this is a treasure that can only appear after the accumulation of time.

Minato Namikaze seemed to chuckle.

[Minato Namikaze]: The current ninjas are either difficult to command or plagued by problems due to their clans. But if a large force were to suddenly appear, would they still object and obey orders?

Minato Namikaze: Those who disobey will be eliminated.

[Minato Namikaze]: Yes, Kitahara-kun is going to resurrect the ninjas from the past using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
