Konoha: Start with omniscience and omnipotence

Chapter 56 【056】Jounin Conference

While Aida Masaki's research is about to begin, this month's jounin meeting is also being held regularly.

After a period of recovery, Namikaze Minato has recovered from his injuries.

However, all the bandages on the body have not been removed yet.

The jounin meeting is held in the jounin hall on the side of the Hokage building. The entire interior is arranged in a circular ladder classroom. The entire jounin meeting process is formulated by the jounin class, confirmed by the hokage, and then all jonins vote together.

.

Overall, it can be regarded as the highest-level gathering of political groups in Konoha.

A few years ago, when the war was still going on, Tsunade's proposal of "Each Team Be Equipped with Medical Ninjas" was initially approved at a certain Jonin Conference, successfully obtained pilot qualifications, and began to be implemented in all Konoha villages.

But generally speaking, the actual uses are not that extensive.

Small meetings are held for big things, and big meetings are held for small things.

This is a common rule of conduct everywhere.

'Isn't Jiang Hui coming?'

Namikaze Minato found the seat corresponding to his name and sat down. He looked around the entire hall, but did not catch a glimpse of Aida Masaki.

Just as he was thinking about it, he patted his head gently again.

In fact, in the previous battle, Jiang Hui's performance impressed him so deeply that Minato subconsciously placed him in the position of 'senior'.

I almost forgot, Shohui's professional title is Special Jounin.

Even if you want to bring it up now, you have to wait at least a month or two for the inspection period - after all, this is not a war era, and Konoha's requirements and assessments for professional title upgrades are very strict.

At the same time, the number of official jounin in Konoha is very limited. Even now that the number of Konoha ninja has reached 7,000, it will only reach 300.

Among them, there are still many family ninjas who are not included in the 'ninja number'.

Many ninja clans in Konoha, especially the big clans, will habitually follow ancient traditions and focus on training their children within the clan, without participating in the curriculum of the ninja school at all.

However, these ninjas trained by the ninja clan can still pass certain assessments and obtain Konoha forehead protection.

It is equivalent to the village tacitly allowing these wealthy families to raise private soldiers to a certain extent.

Moreover, the number of these private soldiers is very likely to completely exceed the number of all ninjas in the village - this is why, during the Fourth Ninja War, most of the ninja numbers were only around 10,000, and the ninja coalition could

He took out a small force of 100,000 troops in one go.

The Jonin each took his seat, and the Hokage spoke briefly.

This kind of plenary meeting is held regularly every month. If there are no accidents, there will generally be no accidents.

However, this time an accident happened.

"Hello everyone, my name is Hatake Sakumo."

Just this sentence made many people sitting upright.

Seeing the young white-haired man standing at the front of the podium, Minato Namikaze gradually focused his eyes and subconsciously opened the notebook in his hand.

Many jounin who were so sleepy that they yawned became a little more serious.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting on the side of the podium, frowned slightly as if he noticed some minor details.

However, Hatake Sakumo seemed not to notice everyone's reactions at all, and continued to speak in a calm voice.

"This time, what I bring to you is the "Program for the Specialized Teaching and Improvement of Konoha's Six Forms and Middle and Lower Ninja Taijutsu". The original formal proposer of this plan was actually the special jounin Aida Masaki.

However, since he was unable to be there, I explained it for him."

Hatake Sakumo's explanation method is not very interesting, or in other words, he is a relatively boring man.

However, the Jonin present gradually heard some clues in this emotionless voice.

'If this plan can be popularized, it should be able to improve the overall strength of the village a lot!' Namikaze Minato's eyes lit up, and he quickly recorded key keywords in his notebook.

'Sakumo-sama, are you finally interested in that position?'

But the eyes of many civilian jounin revealed a little bit of impulse and ambition.

Konoha White Fang was born in a samurai family but had little inheritance. He represented the highest position in history that civilians could achieve and was the benchmark for all civilian ninjas.

After witnessing Hiruzen Sarutobi's partial preference for his family, countless civilian ninjas began to turn their attention to this real 'commoner'.

They also want to prove that even if they are not from the ninja clan, they can become Hokage!

At the same time, I also want to change the status difference between 'commoners' and 'ninjas'.

'Winning people's hearts? Childish means.'

'However, we can take advantage of the storm they stirred up.'

As for the ninja clan chiefs present, most of them were indifferent to Hatake Sakumo's proposal and even opposed it.

"Strengthening the common people is equivalent to weakening the ninja clan" - this nonsensical zero-sum concept still exists in the hearts of many ninja clans, big and small, even in the thirty-ninth year of Konoha.

Because when the second-generation adults promoted civilian education in the ninja school, they tore a piece of flesh from the mouths of these ninjas.

Therefore, they will naturally ignore jokes about making a big cake.

While all parties were thinking, Hatake Sakumo's narration quickly came to an end.

After a while, it was time for the general voting.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

Accompanied by the sound of kunai being thrown, within a short time, the targets on three sides were filled with kunai.

However, when the count results came out, Namikaze Minato's face couldn't help but fall slightly.

"Approved, forty-six votes."

"Neutral, one hundred and sixty-five votes."

"No, one hundred and nine votes."

The Hyuga ninja who served as the announcer read loudly: "This proposal failed to pass."

Hearing this result, even though it was expected, Hatake Sakumo still lowered his head slightly tiredly.

Some things are obviously beneficial to most people in the village, but they are often difficult to implement.

In the beginning, the position of medical ninja was the same.

Power can indeed solve most problems sometimes.

However, even those as powerful as Konoha White Fang...even the legendary Uchiha Madara can't unify people's hearts with power.

"Sakumo-sama, I think your proposal is very feasible."

"If you don't mind, would you be willing to discuss it with me in detail after the meeting?"

Just when everyone thought that this conference was about to end, they heard the voice of an old man from the center of the venue.

When everyone turned their heads to look, they saw Uchiha Takashi looking intently at Hatake Sakumo.

"Clan leader?" Beside him, a middle-aged man spoke subconsciously.

But Uchiha Takashi glared back.

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Takashi." Hatake Sakumo nodded slightly, showing a somewhat embarrassed expression, "However, let's put the business matters to a later meeting to discuss."

"It doesn't matter."

Uchiha Takashi didn't say much, he just smiled and said: "You just need to know that I will support you."

"Thank you."

After the two spoke, they each took their seats.

However, the venue became inexplicably quieter afterwards.

Even Namikaze Minato would look back and forth between the two of them with a somewhat surprised look from time to time.

As a Jonin, one of the most important abilities is actually the 'virtue' value.

A general who does not understand politics is not a good general. Jianghu is not only about fighting and killing, but also about human relations - it is probably a similar principle.

"Then, it's my turn to speak next."

However, what is unexpected is that accidents occurred one after another in today's meeting.

Uchiha Takashi's voice was deep and he handed a report to Uchiha Shuichi beside him.

"Just tell me briefly, Shuichi."

"Yes, Lord Long."

Then, everyone saw Uchiha Shuichi holding the report and standing on the podium of the auditorium: "Sir Takashi's topic today is: "On whether the second school of ninja can be established and guide the entire batch of ninja students to enroll."

As soon as he finished speaking, just the title of the topic report instantly detonated the whole room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting at the edge of the lecture hall. When he heard the noise below, half of his old face turned black instantly.

Uchiha Takashi had no expression on his face and closed his eyes calmly.

After being inspired by Aida Masaki's opinions before, this old man's horizons have been completely opened.

yes.

Who stipulated that a ninja school must be a ninja school from the Hokage lineage?

If a civilian ninja wants to get ahead, why can he only choose the Hokage series?

Why can the Uchiha clan only carefully win over the ninja clan to form a group?

When did unspoken rules become real rules?

What's more, as long as the benefits and gains are large enough, what rules can never be broken?

No matter where you are, there is no shortage of smart people who can draw inferences from one instance to another.

After Uchiha Takashi thought deeply and analyzed all of this, he came up with this strategy to remove the firepower from the bottom of the cauldron.

"Clan leader, are we a little too direct?"

As an Uchiha elder, Uchiha Setsuna looked worried on the side.

Uchiha Takashi still closed his eyes and said in a calm voice:

"If you let people talk, the sky will not fall."

"Besides, let everyone see our Uchiha's 'sincerity'."

I just got home at around 10 o'clock today, and the manuscript that I should have almost finished in the afternoon has been delayed until now, and it's hard to cope with it.

The update schedule these days will be a little confusing, it mainly depends on when I finish work and get off work, but I will try my best to ensure daily updates.
