Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Early the next morning, Byakuya followed Yahiko and Konan to the Hokage Building to meet the Fourth Hokage.

Compared with yesterday, the two sides were less reserved and more familiar. They were brothers and had a common teacher.

After some pleasantries, the Fourth Hokage talked about today's itinerary.

He planned to take Yahiko and others to visit the ninja school in the morning and the combat exercises in the Death Forest in the afternoon to exchange experiences in managing the village.

Naturally, Yahiko and others would not refuse these arrangements. They also wanted to visit the ninja school.

Take a look at the Konoha Ninja Village, which was the first to establish a ninja school. How the ninja school has developed has been very helpful to them in reforming the ninja school.

Accompanied by the Fourth Hokage, several people quickly arrived at the Ninja School.

The Ninja School does not occupy a large area, and the number of students is not large. There are only about three hundred students in the entire school, and the number of Ninjas in each class is only about ninety.

Seeing so many ninja students, Yahiko and Konan were stunned.

For Amegakure Village, the number of Ninja School students is an astonishing number, because the number of Ninjas in the entire Amegakure is not much more than the number of ninjas in the Ninja School.

But this amount is a bit small for Bai Ye.

In his estimation, the ninja school should graduate about five hundred ninjas every year in order to maintain the number of tens of thousands of ninjas in Konoha.

However, considering that it is not difficult to become a ninja quickly, Byakuya prefers to be trained in a ninja school to become a chunin captain.

As long as the number of chuunin can keep up, all major ninja villages can directly mass-produce ninjas with genin strength, otherwise there will be no 3,000-strong Sarutobi ninja army in future generations.

If there were such a terrifying number, the ninja school would have been filled to the brim long ago.

After entering the ninja school, Minato Namikaze gave a detailed introduction to the ninja school, such as the standards for the graduation assessment of students and the plans for the ninja school in the next few years.

The general meaning is that Konoha intends to take the elite route and allow ninjas to develop in all aspects.

After introducing this in detail, Namikaze Minato looked at Yahiko and others, expecting expressions of surprise on their faces.

The ninja school in Konoha is the only one that focuses on all-round development.

Other villages train genin to either learn shuriken throwing and a few simple ninjas and then start performing tasks directly, or they focus all their skill points on combat and only fight and kill.

Only Konoha will carry out all-round development and train genin from aspects such as tactics and teamwork.

Unfortunately, Yahiko and Konan have no fluctuations in their hearts. They even want to say this. Amegakure Village has already trained Ninja School students in many aspects, and even Jōnin are involved in the education.

These are all Byakuya's initiatives. It can only be said that Byakuya sees further than Konoha.

At this time, Byakuya showed a thoughtful expression and asked: "Hokage-sama, how many years does it take for Konoha to graduate from the ninja school?"

"Three years..." Namikaze Minato said without thinking, "However, in peacetime, I plan to delay it to five or even six years."

"Three years?" After learning this answer, Bai Ye was a little surprised.

In his impression, the duration of ninja school should be six years. If it was only three years, wouldn't his nine-year education be too advanced and not conducive to cost control?

However, judging from the graduation time of the Sannin, Kakashi and others, Konoha has actually been delaying the graduation age.

The three ninjas initially graduated at the age of six, which was a one-year course. Kakashi, Obito and others postponed their graduation to three years and graduated at the age of nine. However, in the time of Naruto, it became six years.

Thinking of this, Byakuya smiled at Namikaze Minato and said, "Sorry, I'm a little distracted, but can I ask Hokage-sama's specific plans? We in Amegakure Village also want to delay graduation."

Namikaze Minato glanced at Byakuya and nodded gently: "Of course, but the plan may change at any time, and I'm just giving some superficial opinions."

This scene made Yahiko and Konan confused.

Is Byakuya mocking Namikaze Minato? They still sincerely asked Minato Namikaze for advice, but they had to listen carefully to the plans of these two people, which would be very helpful for the future.

While Namikaze Minato takes Byakuya to visit the ninja school.

In the consultant's office, the Third Hokage and others were also observing the inspection team through the crystal ball.

After seeing Namikaze Minato, Yahiko and others talking and laughing, the Third Hokage couldn't help but touch the cigarette rod and said with a chuckle: "Minato has grown a lot, and he can face the exchange group with ease."

"After the Amegakure exchange group leaves this time, it will definitely improve the diplomatic environment of the village and allow those small shinobi villages to cooperate more deeply with us."

Hearing this, Mito Kaden and Koharu, who had transferred to the dormitory, also said:

"All this is thanks to Jiraiya. When Jiraiya left the village without authorization, we were always opposed to it. We never expected that the orphans he taught would grow into high-level leaders in the Hidden Rain Village."

"But why would Sanshouyu Hanzo choose them as his successors?"

The Third Hokage took a few sips, and then explained: "I think there are several reasons. One is that Hanzo has not cultivated a qualified heir, and the other is that he has lost his ambition."

"It is better to confirm Jiraiya's disciples as the heirs. This will not only solve the heir issue, but also prevent the Kingdom of Rain from chaos. But I guess the power is still in Hanzo's hands."

"Sending people like Yahiko here this time is probably just to express goodwill."

Mito Kadoyan nodded, and then said: "Hiruzhan's analysis makes sense, but who is this Byakuya? He seems to have a good relationship with Yahiko and Konan."

The Third Hokage exhaled smoke and continued: "According to reports from the Anbu under my command, it was because of Byakuya that Yahiko was valued by Hanzo, and Byakuya was eventually accepted as a disciple by Hanzo."

"I see." Mito Kadoen suddenly realized: "However, Bai Ye looks too innocent. Is he really a disciple of Hanzo Sanshouyu?"

Perhaps he was choked by the smoke, or perhaps he felt that other people's speeches were too ridiculous. Danzo stood up with an extremely ugly face and couldn't help but say:

"Don't be fooled by the brat Bai Ye, he is the most evil ninja in Hidden Rain Village."

Danzo's speech attracted the attention of the other people, and they all looked at Danzo, wondering why Danzo had so much ill will towards Byakuya.

Byakuya looks harmless, and is very interested in the plans for the ninja school.

At first glance, he looks like a dovish ninja.

Is there any hidden secret in this? Or maybe Danzo simply couldn't stand good people.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage asked Danzo: "Danzo, I remember that you were active in the Country of Grass and the Country of Rain half a year ago. Is it possible that you have dealt with them?"
