People in Konoha, Just Become Hokage

Homura Echizen was reading the novel when he heard a knock on the door. He quickly stuffed it into the cabinet and said calmly, "Please come in."

The person who came in was an ordinary-looking Konoha ninja wearing a ninja vest.

What surprised Echizen Homura was that this ninja, who was at least a chuunin, had deep dark circles under his eyes and looked like he might die from overwork at any time.

"Hokage-sama...I will submit the mission."

After the haggard ninja walked into the Hokage's office, he was shocked by what he saw.

Looking around, they are all shadow clones!

Sitting at his desk, Echizen Homura was confused and thought to himself, "Who is this guy? Has he ever come to my place to accept a mission?"

Echizen Homura, who left all the work to his shadow clone, naturally didn't know who the person in front of him was.

Fortunately, at this time, the shadow clone responsible for the task waved to the ninja, "Come over here."

Within a few minutes, the handover of the task was completed.

Looking at the haggard face and shaky back of the ninja, Echizen Homura turned his head and asked the shadow clone curiously, "Is that guy Moonlight Hayate's father?"

In Echizen Homura's impression, among the Konoha ninjas, the only one who can match up well with the sick is Hayate. Now that Hayate is still young, the man who just appeared is likely to be Hayate's father.

The shadow clone shook his head and smiled slightly, "Of course not, Hayate's father has died of illness a long time ago. This is another jounin in the village."

Echizen Homura raised his eyebrows slightly and said curiously, "Other jounin in the village? Could it be that Moonlight Hayate's father's head is green?"

Echizen Homura, whose thinking was limited, subconsciously thought that his sickly posture must be congenital, so he concluded that Hayate's father had been cuckolded.

The shadow clone grinned and said with a smile, "You have been busy reading novels these days, so you must not know the cause and effect of the matter. You will know when I tell you."

Konoha's economic source, in addition to the daimyo's allocation, also includes the rewards from ninjas when they perform tasks.

During the Great Ninja World War, most ninjas had to go to the battlefield, so there were not enough people in the village to complete the tasks assigned to them. After a few years, a large number of unfinished tasks had accumulated.

During the Third Ninja War, Konoha faced many crises as it fought against the other four major ninja villages.

The first is the fiscal crisis.

The war is over, but Konoha, as the victor, has not asked for war reparations from the defeated, and the daimyo's allocation has long been used up. Konoha, which invested a lot of financial resources in the war and also gave huge pensions to the families of the deceased, appears.

Overcome the dilemma of having no money.

If the Ninja Village has no money, it has to do tasks to make money, which leads to the second crisis - the crisis of the number of ninjas.

Konoha's losses to ninjas were the highest among the five major ninja villages.

When you see all the Ninja School students who have not finished studying being sent to the battlefield, you should know that the number of Ninja in Konoha is really not enough.

At least in Echizen Homura's impression, almost all the classmates who graduated with him had died on the battlefield.

The scarcity of ninjas means that the accumulated tasks cannot be completed at all.

Even if all the ninjas in the village were deployed to work around the clock, it would still be of no avail.

"So it's because of good fortune." Echizen Homura nodded thoughtfully. After hearing the shadow clone's explanation of the situation, he understood how serious the village's labor shortage was.

Even the Jonin was already a little overwhelmed.

"Should we graduate students in the village early?" Echizen Homura proposed a solution.

The shadow clone shook his head and vetoed, "That can only solve the lowest D-level mission. How to do the higher-level B-level, A-level and S-level tasks? This is not something that Ninja School students can solve."

Echizen Homura pursed his lips, "Then what should we do? We can only leave them alone? But in this case, the commission money received will be greatly reduced due to overtime completion of the task."

The shadow clone chuckled, "If it were the Sandaime, there might be nothing we can do. But unfortunately, we are the Hokage now."

After being reminded by the shadow clone, Homura Echizen realized that he was the one with the cheat.

He can completely refer to Naruto in Boruto and use his shadow clone to complete the mission.

Because Echizen Homura's shadow clone has been upgraded through the system, you can choose whether to transfer the memory back to the main body.

This avoids the powerful side effects of multiple shadow clones.

"As Hokage, our salary is actually not high. One month's salary is not as good as the A-level tasks in the village." The shadow clone sorted out a half-meter-high task list and said, "This is the best way for us to earn money for our children's milk powder.

opportunity."

Because the number of ninjas in the village was small, in order to complete the commission, the Hokage decided to do it himself.

This reason is reasonable and reasonable.

"Oh, for the future of the village, what does it mean if I suffer a little as Hokage?" A happy expression appeared on Echizen Homura's face.

When the shadow clone saw it, his face was full of disdain, as if he would do the task himself.

Echizen Homura took away the half-meter-high task list and came outside the Hokage Building.

This move quickly attracted the attention of other people in the village.

The residents walked out of their houses one after another, looking curiously at the Hokage standing at the building, discussing gossip with each other.

"What are you doing standing there, Hokage-sama?"

"It should be to look at the scenery of Konoha. The Third Generation Master often does this."

"But I saw a tall pile of paper in Hokage-sama's hand. What is it used for?"

"I don't know about that."

The villagers speculated that Echizen Homura suddenly came to the top of the Hokage Building to take a good look at the village under his governance.

It's just that the villagers didn't understand what was written on the half-meter-high white paper that Echizen Homura was holding in his hand.

Even the ninjas became interested and jumped on the roof one after another, looking at it curiously.

With their sharper eyesight and standing at a higher angle, they could vaguely see the content of the mission.

"Hokage-sama, why do you need so many missions?"

The ninjas couldn't help but feel confused.

Echizen Homura ignored the feelings of others and casually threw away the task he was holding.

The civilians didn't pay attention, thinking it was just an ordinary blank piece of paper. But the ninjas were so frightened that their hearts beat loudly. What happened to Hokage-sama? He actually threw away this precious mission?

Could it be that the village has accumulated too many tasks and has reached the point where it has to give up?

The ninjas who had been working intensively these days saw this scene and guessed.

They understand how serious the labor shortage is in the village. No matter how hard they work, they cannot complete the tasks accumulated over the past few years.

By doing this, Hokage-sama, does he want to give up these tasks completely?

Just when the ninja thought he knew the answer, he discovered that countless figures with a similar appearance to Echizen Homura suddenly appeared in the Hokage Building, jumped into the air, and caught the task blowing in the wind.

The villager raised his head, seeing numerous black shadows crisscrossing his eyes, and collected the task paper floating in the air in his hand.

Upon seeing this, the ninjas realized Echizen Homura's true purpose.

It turns out that Hokage-sama did not want to give up the mission, but chose to complete these missions himself so that the village could get out of trouble as soon as possible.

He even doesn’t hesitate to use the shadow clone technique that has been used so much!
