Chapter 460 The topic that shocked the whole audience!
"Hiss~~Hu~hiss~Hu~I think Shiro is right. Although this is a special period, it would be unfair to other jonin if there were no assessments."
After thinking for a while, Sandai slowly exhaled the cigarette in his mouth. It was obvious that he was not completely ignorant of the current situation. However, this did not mean that he agreed with Shiro's idea. Catching an arrow was too messy.
He had no doubt that this guy would take ruthless action. Just like the previous incident, they were indeed wrong in the White Fang incident, but White Fang himself disobeyed military orders, and the information released by Shilang was the village's secrets, which was a violation of discipline.
But Shirou did it anyway, and afterward, he was just told it was just youthful recklessness. Screw your youthful recklessness! Everyone would be youthful and reckless, not even Emiya Shirou! But it certainly was a valid reason.
Therefore, after the third generation finished speaking, he turned to look at Shiro and said, "But Shiro, isn't your assessment a bit too serious? How about changing it to a mission commissioned by the village?"
Shiro frowned. "Hokage-sama, do you think I'm still a child? I've checked the mission commissions over the past two days. Although there are quite a few overall, most of them are low-level missions. Not many can be used as tests."
Third generation: “.”
Who was it that patted his chest and said he was still young in front of him yesterday?
Although he was confused, the Third Generation still had basic thinking ability. He understood what Shiro said. It was precisely because of this that he did not provide any additional information for the Jonin.
Of course, he also knew what Shiro was thinking. It was nothing more than to allow more Uchiha to join the ninja organization. It was a well-known fact that Shiro was close to the Uchiha. If he didn't give him a single vacancy, he estimated that this guy would not give up.
"The Uchiha clan is supposed to protect the village. This is the principle set by the Second Hokage. After becoming a Jonin, it is unlikely that they will stay in the village often and will not be able to effectively protect the village. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to select all the Uchiha clan members to fill the vacancies this time.
Since you've brought it up, you must have a practical plan. Just be frank and don't beat around the bush."
Shiro: "Okay, Hokage, elders, and everyone, these are the candidates I selected based on the intelligence I obtained during the war. They are basically from major families.
Due to the special nature of ninjas, I haven't written down the specific information above, but you should all know a general idea of it. You can check to see if there are any deficiencies."
As he spoke, Shiro took out some documents from behind him and handed them to the participants one by one for them to read.
After receiving the document, everyone first glanced at the third generation. Seeing that he was already studying the document, they couldn't help but sigh at each other and started reading it as well.
They knew that the Uchiha matter was settled this time, and the only thing left was the number of people involved.
So for a moment, the only sound in the conference room was the sound of flipping through documents.
After a while, the documents were finished being read, and those who had just refuted looked at each other and saw the bitterness in each other's eyes. They had originally thought that they would get as many as they could, but now, they had to admit that Shilang was too well prepared.
Although there is only one name on the roster, everyone present is well aware of its abilities. Some have used it in the past, and some have shown it during the Third War. Its strength is basically far beyond that of ordinary Jonin.
Moreover, it even gave general suggestions on the types of jobs that were suitable for them. It was well-reasoned and there was no reason to argue. So, everyone turned their attention to Danzo, hoping that he could refute it.
Unfortunately, Danzo couldn't find a solution and was sitting there with a gloomy face. Finally, the plan was passed. The people mentioned in the document would be specially promoted to Jonin. The village would select some of their combat experiences as appropriate to convince the Jonin.
Shiro was not surprised at this result. He was still very confident in Nara's brain.
The first topic also came to an end with Fugaku's reason that "there are not enough people in the clan to take on this important task in the future."
The final decision was that the power of the Security Department would still be held by the Uchiha, but some core rights would gradually be transferred to the Hyuga, Ino-Shika-Cho, Inuzuka and other clans.
With this, the affairs of the Security Department were finally established, and from now on, no one could put these powers back into the hands of the Uchiha.
Afterwards, the meeting went on to discuss many issues concerning village construction. Silang listened for a long time and found that no one had thought of that point, or deliberately avoided that direction, and he couldn't help but shook his head.
Therefore, after everyone finished discussing the "placement of the Kirigakure bloodline personnel", he knocked on the table again, attracting everyone's attention again.
"Everyone, after discussing this for so long, haven't you noticed that the village is missing an important department?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room fell silent, and everyone frowned and looked at Shiro. The general structure of the village was determined by the second generation, and although there had been additions and subtractions since then, there were basically no important structures.
Shiro's words are equivalent to denying the predecessors before him. Of course, it is not impossible to deny, but you deny it twice in a row, isn't it a bit arrogant?
Therefore, there was no need for Danzo to step forward this time. Mitomon En, one of the second-generation disciples, also frowned and looked at Shiro: "Shiro, you are not a child anymore. You should be responsible for what you say. Whether the structure of the village is wrong or not, these few wars can fully verify it!"
Sandai: "Okay, Menyan, let Shilang express his opinion first. Since he said so, he must have his own ideas. Talk about it. The village is not stubborn. If the village is really lacking, then we will change it."
Shiro smiled and placed his hands on the table. "It's very simple, a research department dedicated to the village! The second generation master didn't think of this simple thing, not because he was not thoughtful, but because there were almost no researchers in the village who were better than him at that time.
But this cannot deny the village's shortcomings. It's very simple. Since the death of the second generation, the village's ninjutsu has not been updated for a long time. Even if there are some breakthroughs, they are limited to the family and the master and apprentice.
But are there only family ninjas and ninjas who are passed down from master to apprentice in our village? Obviously not, there are also many civilian ninjas in the village. So what is the most common way for them to acquire ninjutsu?
I believe you all know the answer, it's just the village, but I did a rough investigation and found that the ninjutsu used specifically for this purpose in the village has not changed for a long time.
Our enemies, on the other hand, haven't done the same. I'm not sure about Cloud Village, but I've noticed that many departments in the village have recently acquired new technologies. I imagine they've made some good gains, right? Let me tell you what I know: a very fast enemy has appeared on the battlefield in Kirigakure this time. You've probably all heard of him, and his name is Subject One."
As soon as Shi Lang finished speaking, the expressions of the people who were originally concentrating on thinking brightened up. They all had similar research institutions within their own families or forces, but they were usually used for private purposes.
Therefore, they knew very well what this name meant, and they also knew about the so-called Mist Hidden Demon. With that kind of strength, the elite jonin would not be their opponent at all if they were not careful.
If this came out of a laboratory, it would be terrifying. Although it is not universal, most laboratory results can basically be mass-produced.
Thinking of this, the faces of everyone present became serious. They were not stupid. They had not thought about this aspect before because of the inherent misunderstanding in their thinking. The second generation itself left behind many ninjutsu, and they themselves had similar research departments.
Secondly, it would have a bad influence. After all, ninjutsu is used by humans, so taboo human experiments are unavoidable. Even a genius like the second generation cannot avoid this.
Minato avoided it, but he had only developed two techniques, a meatball and a half-finished Flying Thunder God. The rest of his skills were basically in sealing techniques, and Kushina had far more skills in this aspect.
Therefore, due to the interference of various factors, a research institution unique to the village has never been established.
However, Shiro's reminder also made them realize that this related thing must be established, even if the research method is not very humane.
"Tsk tsk~" The Sandai smashed the pipe he was smoking, crossed his hands on the table, and looked at Shiro with a serious face: "You can say so much, then I guess you must have given it some thought. Do you have any suggestions for the candidate in this regard?"
Shiro: "Of course there is. The main person in charge is Orochimaru-senpai. In Konoha, no, I should say that there are almost no people in the ninja world who have better research capabilities than him, and I also have a rough idea of the composition of the personnel.
In the initial stage, retired jonin and even chunin can be selected. No matter what the reason is for them to be unable to continue fighting as ninjas, their knowledge of ninjutsu is always real, which is conducive to the initial establishment of the research department.
The next step is to select the best talents from the Ninja School and train them. Not everyone has a natural talent for fighting. That's it. The specific details will need to be completed by the Hokage."
After Shiro finished speaking, the third generation began to think with his eyes narrowed. Shiro's plan was highly feasible and would be more beneficial to the development of Konoha. They had indeed wasted a lot of talents over the years.
Moreover, when it comes to recruiting new personnel, he has better channels, such as the Anbu and the Root. No, the people from the Root are not suitable. The Anbu itself has a similar research department, and he can directly transfer the entire part over.
Only a small part needs to be changed and a new department can be formed. After thinking about it, the third generation looked at everyone and made the final decision without giving them a chance to vote.
At the same time, Shiro was appointed as the deputy director of the research department, and the director was Orochimaru.
This surprised him. He had originally planned to shamelessly go to the third generation to recommend himself after the meeting. This saved him a lot of trouble. After all, he had just been promoted.
What happened next was not so complicated. Shiro stopped making a fuss and perfectly played the role of a tool for the leader of the Jonin squad, taking charge of the entire voting process.
Until the last topic of the meeting.
The third generation put the pipe in his mouth on the table and slowly said a piece of news that shocked the whole audience.
"Okay, we've pretty much finished discussing this meeting. There's only one last thing left. I've decided to step down as Hokage. Everyone, please share your thoughts on who you think will take your place!"
"!!!!!!" X (Danzo + N)
