Cao Ya didn't personally deal with that small group of dissenting voices; he simply instructed his members to spread negative information about the dissenters.
For example, the two advisors, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, have gotten to their current positions as advisors to Konoha, but their backgrounds are far from clean.
The dirt on Cao Ya was in the hands of Danzo and Root. After Danzo died, he took over Root and naturally eliminated all the dirt on Root first.
He didn't go to extremes; he showed appropriate respect, and it was up to those people whether they were willing to accept it.
If you're willing to accept it, everyone's happy; if not... Cao Ya will have to kill you.
A barrage of carrots and sticks quickly silenced the group.
Cao Ya has directly seized real power in Konoha!
Of course, the Root faction, which was completely subservient to Cao Ya, made great contributions during this period.
Danzo had cultivated the Root organization for decades, making it extremely powerful, comparable to the Anbu directly under the Hokage.
At the same time, the envoy of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire brought with him a decree, agreeing to let Cao Ya succeed as the Fifth Hokage.
This was a crucial step in completely dispelling the doubts of the Konoha ninjas.
Even the daimyo has agreed, so why should we object?
Cao Ya secured his position as Hokage.
"Jiraiya, you're leaving Konoha?" Cao Ya was taken aback for a moment. Jiraiya belonged to the majority who neither agreed nor opposed his becoming Hokage.
"Hmm." Jiraiya nodded and chuckled softly, "I'm planning to take Naruto on a trip, and maybe find Tsunade while we're at it."
"Alright, good luck." Cao Ya watched Jiraiya leave.
At this time, Konoha does not need Jiraiya as a top-tier fighter.
We'll talk about it again three years later when Shippuden begins.
Research Department.
"Orochimaru, is there any progress in the research on the First Hokage's Wood Release?" Cao Ya asked.
The Research Department was established by Cao Yaxin, who personally took charge of it. Orochimaru served as the chief scientist, and his former subordinates, such as Kabuto Yakushi, Kimimaro, Jugo, Karin Uzumaki, and Suigetsu Hozuki, were still under Orochimaru's management and were listed under the name of the Research Department.
Cao Ya decided to restructure Konoha's departments, as the old ones were too bloated and too rudimentary.
"I've studied Wood Release before. The rejection reaction was too strong, and only one baby survived."
Orochimaru licked his lips: "As long as you allow me to experiment on human subjects..."
Cao Ya interrupted, "Stop! Wood Release is just a research project of the Research Department. If someone is willing to offer themselves, I won't interfere, but I will never allow you to do it in secret! Don't touch my taboo."
Scientific research sometimes requires the use of various human bodies, which is unavoidable.
Cao Ya directly announced the research of the Science Department to Konoha, clearly stipulating that villagers were allowed to dedicate themselves to scientific research, but absolutely no coercion was permitted!
After all, some of the research conducted by the research department, though dangerous, can be very beneficial to the individuals involved if successful.
It depends on the individual's choice.
"Ha, woman's compassion." Orochimaru sneered. "That bastard Jiraiya left the village?"
"I went to find Tsunade," Cao Ya replied.
Orochimaru pursed his lips but didn't say anything more.
"By the way, how's the agricultural research going?" Cao Ya changed the subject.
"Simple." Orochimaru couldn't help but laugh and retorted, "This kind of research is too rudimentary; it can be done in no time."
Cao Ya neither agreed nor disagreed, but said that food is the most important thing for people, and that applying ninjutsu to agriculture could greatly promote agricultural development.
At the same time, research departments for ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu were also established.
The head of the physical skills department is Hiashi Hyuga, and the vice-head is Might Guy.
Kai is strong, but he has no one behind him, and his personality is not suitable for managing a department. Cao Ya also needs to consider the opinions of the Hyuga family, so he decided to appoint Hyuga Hiashi as the department head.
The head of the Ninjutsu Club is Kakashi, whose title of "Copy Ninja" perfectly reflects his extensive knowledge of ninjutsu.
The illusion department has only a handful of members, with Kurenai Yuhi and the Kurama clan holding up the prestige.
Who told the Uchiha clan to be wiped out?
Cao Ya personally oversaw and revised the teaching materials and curriculum of the ninja school, teaching various ninjutsu techniques and even methods to counter them!
This provoked opposition from many ninjas, but Cao Ya held great power at this time and had won over too many people, so the opposition did not make a fuss.
All the civilian ninjas agreed with this strategy.
Some ninja clans did not object.
In Cao Ya's view, no matter what A-rank or S-rank ninjutsu is, if he gathers people to study it, he will surely find its flaws.
Even a branch of the ninjutsu department—the bloodline limit department—is secretly researching the bloodline limits of other ninja villages under Cao Ya's orders.
Even the elimination of bloodstains—Dust Escape!
The implementation of a series of policies made everyone realize that Konoha's future would embark on an unprecedented path!
A beautiful trajectory!
The leaves of the forest are thriving.
Cao Ya, as the Hokage, was deeply loved by all the villagers.
However, Cao Ya knew that as long as the Akatsuki organization was not dealt with, and the other ninja villages and countries were not dealt with, the ninja world could not achieve true peace.
Not to mention Kaguya Otsutsuki in the moon, and the whole horde of Otsutsuki deep in space.
Those are all at the Sixth Path level!
At the very least, it's at least Shadow-level!
"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long!" Cao Ya sighed softly.
Kakashi, Might Guy, Mitarashi Anko, Kurenai Yuhi, and others looked at Cao Ya. They were Cao Ya's friends and his trusted subordinates, highly valued and given important positions.
They had witnessed the changes in Konoha during this period and sincerely believed that appointing Cao Ya as Hokage was the right decision.
Cao Ya will surely lead Konoha to the pinnacle of the ninja world!
They didn't understand why Cao Ya was always worried and often sighed while gazing at the horizon.
"Yes, we must work overtime to try our best to share the burden of the fifth generation!"
"Konoha belongs to everyone!"
"All the pressure cannot be placed on the shoulders of the fifth generation alone."
They exchanged a glance and nodded silently.
Cao Ya blinked, somewhat puzzled.

night.
Cao Ya entered the system space.
There were no new members this time; it was still the same eight Cao Ya members.
After sharing their memories, the seven Cao Yas looked at [Naruto] Cao Ya with new respect.
"Holy crap, that's awesome! You've got Konoha's reforms all done?"
[Naruto] Cao Ya coughed lightly, his eyebrows and eyes beaming with a smile: "Keep it low-key, keep it low-key."
The seven Cao Ya immediately looked down on them.
They're both Cao Ya, everyone knows who they are!
Stop pretending!
[Global Martial Arts] Cao Ya sighed: "My place can't be reformed. All sorts of hidden big shots are too damn troublesome. There's also a group of big shots watching from above. It's like seeing a ghost."
He felt mentally exhausted.
In the game "Peerless," Cao Ya asked, "When will you break through to the eighth rank?"
"Let's wait a bit longer." Cao Ya from [Global Martial Arts] tugged at his hair and said, "We have to go into the underground cave, kill a group of underground cave warriors, and break through to the eighth rank ahead of time. Otherwise, this effect won't be achieved."
"You old cunning bastard." Cao Ya from [The Smiling, Proud Wanderer] complained.
Cao Ya rolled his eyes. If I were in a low-martial arts world like The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, I would also act with integrity.
In the world of "Global Martial Arts," all sorts of cunning and treacherous individuals emerge one after another. If you're not careful, you won't even know how you died.
