Daily Life of the Third Hokage

The meeting room fell into a brief silence, and everyone was thinking about what Sarutobi Hiruzen had just said. These two things are undoubtedly extremely important to Konoha Village. After a while, Mizuto Kado En said, "Hokage-sama, regarding the replacement of Jinchūriki, I suggest that we set up a special team to take charge of this matter. This will ensure that all work can be carried out in an orderly manner."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, it's okay. Orochimaru will form this team. The team leader is Orochimaru, the deputy team leader is Tsunade, and the team members are elite ninjas drawn from the Sealing Class and the Barrier Class. En, you have to do a good job of logistics support."

Mizuto Kado En said, "Yes, Hokage-sama."

Orochimaru said, "I understand."

Tsunade snorted and said, "I understand."

Nara Shikako said Said: "I will coordinate resources from all sides to ensure the smooth progress of the group's work. In addition, I can also assist Minister Takeo and take charge of the defense department."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with satisfaction: "Very good, everyone works together and will be able to successfully complete the replacement of Jinchūriki. According to the procedure, we now need to vote on the appointment of Minister Takeo, let's start now!"

With Sarutobi Hiruzen's prestige, he can be said to have the final say in Konoha. Even in the village committee, two are Sarutobi Hiruzen's teammates, three are Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciples, and the last one, Nara Shikako, is Sarutobi Hiruzen's secretary, so Sarutobi Hiruzen's will will be implemented without hindrance.

But for the sake of procedural justice, Sarutobi Hiruzen still needs to make up for this link.

Then, everyone had an in-depth discussion and consultation on some details. The meeting lasted for a long time until the sunset, and the afterglow sprinkled on the windows of the conference room, and it finally ended.

After the meeting, everyone left the conference room with their own tasks.

After the meeting, the Hokage's office immediately issued a transfer order with the seal of the village committee.

Akimichi Tofu was dismissed from the post of Minister of Defense and appointed as Minister of Foreign Affairs, taking office immediately.

Former Deputy Minister of Defense Takeo Uzumaki took over the post of Minister of Defense.

The various ninja clans in Konoha Village had different reactions to Takeo Uzumaki's appointment as Minister of Defense.

The members of the Uzumaki clan were very happy and proud of Takeo Uzumaki's appointment.

They believed that Takeo Uzumaki's appointment was an important symbol of the Uzumaki clan's improved status in Konoha Village, and also a recognition and trust in the Uzumaki clan. They believed that Takeo Uzumaki could lead the Uzumaki clan to better develop and grow in Konoha Village and make greater contributions to the prosperity of Konoha Village.

After Takeo Uzumaki returned to the clan, Yukina Uzumaki and Shinsuke Uzumaki congratulated Takeo Uzumaki on taking the post of Minister of Defense.

"Don't be happy too early. Rights are equal to responsibilities. As long as our Uzumaki clan takes root in Konoha, rights don't matter. Look at our clansmen in the past few months. They are either studying sealing techniques or studying barrier techniques. Few of them go out to do missions." Uzumaki Takeo said in a deep voice.

Uzumaki Shinsuke objected, "The clansmen are used to studying sealing techniques by themselves. Now they are in Konoha Village, which is safer than ever. The clan funds are enough for the clansmen to live. Why do they still have to do missions in exchange for meager rewards?" Indeed, for the Uzumaki clan, the commissions for doing missions are really meager rewards.

"What we need to do is to integrate into Konoha. Look at the clansmen, they don't go out of the house, what contribution can they make to the village? Do they think they don't have to worry about anything when they find a safe place?" Uzumaki Takeo was a little helpless about this elder Shinsuke.

"We are also a member of Konoha. Konoha has the obligation to protect the villagers, and the villagers also have the obligation to contribute to the village. If they continue like this, when will our Uzumaki clan be able to integrate into Konoha?"

"Give orders, those who are appointed as Jonin by the village must go out for at least one mission every month, those who are appointed as Chunin must go out for five missions every year, and as for Genin, it's up to you. In the future, the clan's subsidies to the clan members will be gradually reduced, so that the clan members can make a living in the village!" In the end, Uzumaki Takeo had to reduce the subsidies to the clan members and force them to make a living.

The Nara clan was cautious about Uzumaki Takeo's appointment.

They believed that although the Uzumaki clan had a long-standing alliance and deep friendship with the village's top leaders, the Uzumaki clan's status in the current political structure of Konoha Village was not very high.

They were worried that the appointment of Uzumaki Takeo would cause dissatisfaction and jealousy among other ninja clans, thus bringing unnecessary trouble to the Uzumaki clan.

The Akimichi clan expressed support for the appointment of Uzumaki Takeo.

They believed that Uzumaki Takeo was a capable and responsible person, and his appointment could bring new ideas and methods to the defense of Konoha Village.

They believed that under the leadership of Uzumaki Takeo, the defense of Konoha Village could more effectively guarantee the safety and stability of Konoha Village.

In fact, the attitude of the Akimichi clan was highly similar to that of the Hokage. There was nothing they could do if they did not support him, after all, their clan leader also agreed to it.

The Uchiha clan took a wait-and-see attitude towards the appointment of Uzumaki Takeo.

They believed that the appointment of Uzumaki Takeo was a signal of changes in the political landscape of Konoha Village and an opportunity for the Uchiha clan to rise again.

The Hokage released a very obvious signal of dissatisfaction with the three departments of the Guard Department controlled by Hyuga, the Patrol Department controlled by Inuzuka, and the Customs Department controlled by Aburame.

These three departments have almost become the private land of their three families, and the responsibilities that should be fulfilled have not been completed to the satisfaction of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third generation Hokage.

They hope that under the leadership of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the political structure of Konoha Village can be more balanced and stable, creating better conditions for the development of the Uchiha clan.

The members of the Hyuga clan expressed concerns about the appointment of Uzumaki Takeo.

They believe that the status and influence of the Uzumaki clan in Konoha Village have always been relatively limited, and the appointment of Uzumaki Takeo may break the political balance of Konoha Village, thus bringing adverse effects to the Hyuga clan.

They are worried that the appointment of Uzumaki Takeo will further intensify the internal contradictions and conflicts in Konoha Village, thus affecting the stability and development of Konoha Village.

What they don't know is that it is not the Uzumaki clan that will affect their development, but the dissatisfaction of the Hokage.

In general, the views and reactions of the various ninja clans in Konoha Village to the appointment of Uzumaki Takeo as the Minister of Defense are different. They all hope that under the leadership of Uzumaki Takeo, Konoha Village's defense work will be able to more effectively ensure the safety and stability of Konoha Village, and make greater contributions to the prosperity and development of Konoha Village.
