Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

"As expected of someone from the same era as the Sandaime-sama, Akimichi Tofu is truly brave."

"Master Qufeng must be brave enough to ask such a question directly."

"You are clearly a member of the Elders Council, yet you are facing the pinnacle of power. Master Qufeng, I would like to call you the strongest!"

There were scattered noises in the audience, but no one dared to shout loudly. The question raised by Akimichi Qufeng was undoubtedly touching the biggest piece of cake of Konoha - the top-level power.

Qiu Dao Qufeng is simple-minded, but not stupid. He himself realizes that his question seems a bit excessive. Even if everyone is confused, he should not ask directly in front of so many people.

This would embarrass the Hokage and would be a direct slap in the face of the Elders.

Obviously he is also a member of the elders, but when he asked this, it was like I was picking it out and fanning myself.

"Take the wind."

Danzo, who had been silent all this time, could no longer bear to watch.

Stupid! So fucking stupid!

Sarutobi Hiruzen is stupid, so is Mito Kado En, Utane Koharu, and even Akimichi Tofu! If Shimura Danzo doesn't step up, will he just watch Konoha fall apart?!

Even if Danzo Shimura fought with Hiruzen Sarutobi, it would be a personal "grudge" between the two of them. He would never humiliate the Hokage, and would not do anything to Hiruzen in public.

Look, look, don’t just let the jonin of Konoha see it, let the entire ninja world see it!

Konoha's high-ranking officials, the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the jounin squad leader Akimichi Tofuku, froze in silence. Huh? Is this even reasonable?!

Danzo suppressed the urge to curse at his two former teammates and slowly stood up.

He tried hard to hide his anger and calm his disgust in his one eye.

"The Elders Council is an organization appointed by the Hokage. There is no fixed number of members and no additional appointments or dismissals. Their specific responsibilities are only one thing, which is to make suggestions to the Hokage and plan the direction of Konoha."

This is a very obvious thing, but it was put out in the open by Danzo.

Of course, there is something more obvious that Danzo did not mention, which is whether the Elders' Group is higher than the Jonin Class and whether it is higher than the Konoha Ninjas.

"I see."

Qiu Dao borrowed the donkey to go down the hill, immediately ended the topic and sat down.

The Qiu Dao tribe members nearby were trying hard to reach the snack on the ground with their feet.

Snapped--

The snacks were kicked away by Akimichi Tofu.

The Qiu Dao tribe members grinned and said, "I don't love you anymore. The tribe leader doesn't love me anymore. I'm so sad..."

In the corner, Orochimaru watched this scene with amusement. In fact, he always felt that Danzo was more suitable for the position of Hokage than his teacher, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was a little weak.

Next, the vegetable market... The Jonin Conference continued, and the major families and Jonins put forward a number of targeted suggestions. Some were adopted, some needed to be considered, and some were too fantastical and were directly rejected.

For example, there was a senior ninja who focused on the development and use of blades. He suggested that Sarutobi Hiruzen establish a blade department. His dream was to equip every ninja in Konoha with a suitable ninja sword.

Referring to the Mist Ninja's ninja sword, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought that this idea was not bad, but it was just good and would not work in any way.

First of all, if all ninjas wield swords, wouldn't they become samurai? How come your suggestion will set the ninja world back thirty years?

Moreover, the interests of Konoha's blade tools have already been distributed. Someone is in charge of the big ones, and the small ones can be handed over to the people. Establishing the blade tool department means that the village has taken back these rights. Sarutobi Hiruzen has just come to power. Unless he doesn't want to sit firmly in the position of Hokage, otherwise, if he makes such a reform, will the people below still follow him?

The proposal was therefore rejected.

There was also a ninja from the Uchiha clan. I don't know if he was pushed out for a test or if it was just a sudden move on his own, but he stood up and said one thing - he wanted to join the Konoha Elders Council.

Danzo really suppressed his murderous intent and didn't rush out from his seat to stab that Uchiha.

Some ninjas who were not strong-willed enough and couldn't help laughing, such as Akimichi Qufeng who had just confronted the elders.

Not surprisingly, the suggestion was rejected on the grounds that it was not a suggestion.

At the conference, some reforms of ninja schools and family changes were adopted because some of them had been discussed in advance.

For example, the class system of the Ninja School is a bit old. The original class system was that a teacher was in charge of a class. There would be students leaving the class and new students joining. No matter how old they were, as long as they joined the class, they would be students of the same class.

Such a class system has its advantages, but its disadvantages are more obvious.

For example, new students cannot keep up with the courses, and there are too many people taking advantage of the situation. In short, these are historical problems, and it is imperative to change the class system.

There are also family changes that have been discussed in advance.

Enough family members must be sent to the ninja school, and I am talking about the main family, not some side branch. The will of fire must be inherited by the family. The family can have its own ideas and culture, but must first integrate into the village.

There is no doubt about this. Hiruzen does not have the means and strength of Senju Tobirama. What he relies on is the power of inheritance and publicity, so that he can better control Konoha.

Even the Uchiha agreed with this, because from past examples, the Uchiha discovered some advantages of the ninja school, such as certain teachers or students, who seemed to be able to be won over?

In short, suggestions were constantly put forward, and the Jonin Conference was becoming more and more organized. Konoha's progress was inseparable from this collective wisdom.

Finally, Tsunade stepped forward and suggested a direction that no one had thought of.

"I suggest that the ninja team be changed to a 3+1 format, with each team equipped with a medical ninja!"

Hiruzen took a drag on his cigarette and remained silent, waiting for the next discussion.

Tsunade had once mentioned this suggestion to him privately. He thought it was a good idea, but it wouldn't work. He believed that others could also figure it out.

"The medical ninja's advice is very good. In fact, many casualties are unnecessary and can be saved!"

"No, the medical ninjas are not strong enough. Not every medical ninja has the ability of Princess Tsunade, and they often hinder the team's operations!"

"Wouldn't it be better if medical ninjas were on standby during the operation?"

"Everyone's on standby. What's the point of having a medical ninja? By the time they arrive, everyone will be dead, right?"

"Then how many teams should have one medical ninja assigned to them? Anyway, the medical ninja's advice is pretty reliable, right?"

"The problem is there aren't that many medical ninjas!"

"Besides, if medical ninjas are assigned to combat missions, the casualties will surely be even greater than those of ordinary ninjas. What if there are no medical ninjas available when treatment is needed?"

"Hey! This doesn't work, and that doesn't work! It's so annoying!"

Most of the issues discussed by the senior ninjas were very practical, especially for the ninjas who had returned from the battlefield. Even though they supported this suggestion, they could not ignore the disadvantages.

Hiruzen shook his head slightly. He knew that the senior ninjas would surely see that the value and disadvantages of this were not proportional. The most fundamental problem was that the medical ninjas took up a quota. People might not be saved, but the casualties would definitely be heavy.

When all the medical ninjas have gone to the front line, is there any need for those ninjas who have retreated from the front line to retreat?

In other words, without sufficient medical support at the rear, would the ninjas still be so fearless or have the belief to live?

This change can even affect the direct combat effectiveness of a village's ninjas, polarizing the combat effectiveness.

And the disadvantages obviously outweigh the advantages, so there is no way Hiruzen would agree to it.

turn down.
