Chapter 781: The New Era of Konoha
"Good luck, Hokage." Shizune smiled sweetly.
Tsunade also had a heroic and proud expression, which meant something like "I am finally released from prison!"
She waved her hands: "Seventh generation, work hard!"
Tsunade walked away without caring about her relatives. Shizune smiled apologetically and left the office, closing the door behind her.
A new emperor appoints new ministers. It's not that Ino doesn't trust Shizune, but the person who will take on the job of assistant to the Hokage is still waiting behind. Every man has his own position. If Shizune doesn't step down, the people below can't step up.
After seeing Tsunade and Shizune off, Ino called Shikamaru to help deal with the backlog of documents.
Shikamaru has a goatee and looks much more mature and stable. With Shikaku's instruction, the Nara family can be said to have a long history of learning and is good at handling official business. Ino also said, "Okay, since you are good at it, I'll leave it to you!"
"I'm going to go see Shikamaru!" She made an excuse for herself and then ran away.
When Naruto was Hokage, he did not have enough political skills to balance the relationships between all parties. He could only work like a dog and deal with all the big and small matters of the village alone. His former partners such as Choji, Kiba, and Sakura were all idle. Only Shikamaru got the position of staff officer. After Ino came to power, it was impossible for him to do so.
The alliance between Pig, Deer and Butterfly is unbreakable.
After she came to power, all three companies gained a lot of tangible benefits.
Closeness and distance are necessary. If you don’t even take care of your staunch allies, who will come to you?
Choji's wife is Karui. Relying on his marriage, he can win over the Hidden Cloud Village, whose military strength is second only to Konoha among the five major ninja villages. Both publicly and privately, this person cannot be left idle.
Kakashi had previously resigned from the position of director of the Konoha Guard Force, and Ino and Shikamaru each took on this job for a period of time. Now the job of being responsible for the village's security has been handed over to Choji.
Fatty doesn't need to be too vigilant. As long as he takes care of the general direction, someone will naturally be responsible for the specific work.
Ino's first order after becoming Hokage was to let Naruto sweep the streets!
Today's Konoha Village is called a village, but in fact it is more like a city. In addition to the original villages, the other four major ninja villages have also established a new area in Konoha that combines living, activities, and training. In addition to the original administrative area, commercial area, and residential area, Konoha now has four more areas, and the territory has suddenly increased several times.
The name of the village is Konoha, and the streets in the village are naturally full of fallen leaves. Ino promotes the three guarantees work in front of the door, but ninjas are often unwilling to do such trivial things, even in the form of D-level tasks, they are unwilling to do it. What should we do? Leave it all to the Genin Uzumaki Naruto!
Naruto is good at this.
Tasks like sweeping the streets are relatively simple and do not require a complicated mind. The effect of sweeping or not sweeping is completely different, and it can satisfy Naruto's sense of pride in participating in village construction to a certain extent.
"Okay, Lord Hokage, please rest assured, leave this task to me!" Naruto said with great pride.
He does what he says.
2,000 Narutos were cleaning up the streets, and Ino's street was counted as a D-level task for him. The number of tasks he completed was skyrocketing, and he was truly the strongest Genin.
The second order of the Seventh Hokage was to create a new position, which was the "Hokage Half-Sleeve" that appeared in early fan fiction. Ino appointed Gaara to this position. When she was not in the village, Gaara could exercise the authority of the Hokage. If she was present, she would be the Deputy Hokage.
Gaara is capable in all aspects. He was very radical when he was young, but now he has suffered a lot of social abuses and his character has become cautious. In addition, the Sand Village is the weakest, so his coming to power will not arouse the fear of all forces.
If the "Five Mountains Unification" is successful, then naturally some benefits will be distributed.
What ninjas hope for and desire most is ninjutsu.
Ino took out many "lost" ninjutsu from the other four major ninja villages and returned them to them.
These include Scorpion's "Puppet Control Technique" and "Puppet Manufacturing Technique", the Second Mizukage's "Steaming Dangerous Explosion Technique", the Fourth Mizukage's "Water Mirror Technique", the Fourth Raikage's "Lightning Release Chakra Mode", and Killer Bee's swordsmanship.
There are no lost ninjutsu in the Iwagakure Village, but Ino had previously used the dragon of Namek to revive Yellow Earth, which made the Third Tsuchikage owe her a huge favor. The Iwagakure ninjas occasionally had some complaints, but they were suppressed by the old man.
The device exchanged from the Great King Kai has begun to be installed. Orochimaru and Amado worked overtime to complete the installation of the Animus prototype, and it is currently in the debugging stage.
Ino will leave more ninjutsu in the Animus. Even if she is gone one day, future generations can learn her ninjutsu with the help of this machine.
The overall energy of the ninja world is constantly improving, ordinary people's bodies are becoming healthier, diseases are decreasing, and lifespans are extending, and the ninjas benefit the most.
Not to mention Naruto, the combat power of the Chunin in the village is now comparable to that of the Jonin before, and the Jonin can compete with the former Kage-level. This is due to the changes in the overall environment. The physical fitness of the ninjas has been improved, and more chakra can be extracted per unit time.
The "essence" has not reached 10 points yet, but generally the level is 8 or 9 points. This amount of chakra is comparable to that of Asuma before.
"Seventh Daime, recently the Daimyo of the Land of Water has been sending fleets to explore the open seas. Overseas resources are abundant, and the resources of the Land of Water are increasing rapidly, which has seriously threatened the ruling position of the Land of Fire as the strongest country."
Utane Koharu spoke passionately at the meeting, telling the information that her ninjas had found out.
Ino covered her mouth and yawned.
The old lady pretended not to see it. This was normal. Tsunade was also like this before, being energetic at night and listless during the day. I, an old lady, have gotten used to it.
Shikamaru looked at Ino and Gaara and found that neither of them had any intention of speaking, so he could only take over the conversation.
He said: "I think we just need to keep paying attention at this stage. If necessary, we can intervene appropriately, but it is not advisable to go too deep. I think it is enough to send two teams into the Water Country to investigate."
Gaara waited for a few seconds before speaking in support of his brother-in-law: "I agree with Shikamaru. With the five major ninja villages united, we have absolute military power. We can accept missions from major countries without causing confrontation among the ninjas in the village, but we should not interfere with their choices."
Finally, they looked at Ino, as she would have to make the final decision on this matter.
She thought about it and realized that the five major countries are actually in a state of unrest. The unification of the ninja villages poses a huge threat. Even if the five major countries unite, they do not have enough military strength to destroy Konoha, and can only make various true or false tests.
