Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

Now it was Utane Koharu's turn to be speechless.

Mu Yue was accused of such a big crime right after she came to power. How could she dare to respond? If she really accepted it, she would be considered a lazy and unenterprising senior official.

"In any case, the past cannot be changed, so let's continue talking about our current reforms." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile, motioning Namikaze Minato to continue explaining.

In Sarutobi Hiruzen's opinion, there was something wrong with both Mu Yue and Utane Koharu.

Mu Yue is too sharp and does not respect the respected seniors. Utane Koharu does not take the new Hokage seriously and opposes the reforms in such a disrespectful way at the first high-level meeting.

Minato Namikaze subconsciously looked at Mu Yue, and Mu Yue nodded, and then Minato Namikaze began to continue explaining.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very good to him, and Namikaze Minato also respected Sarutobi Hiruzen, but now it was a high-level meeting, and Mu Yue was his real companion.

After Namikaze Minato finished his explanation, Mitomon En spoke:

"I believe that the reform will indeed improve the quality of graduating Genin, but is this improvement really worth the cost of the reform?"

After thinking about it, Mizuto Menen decided to stand on the same front with his old friend Utane Koharu.

Mu Yue showed too much courage. If they gave in this time, their voice in the village would probably be severely reduced.

This was something Mizuto Menen didn't want to see. He was willing to support Mu Yue to take the throne because Sarutobi Hiruzen promised him a high-level position for six years.

During these six years, if Mu Yue had a conflict with them and wanted to withdraw them, Sarutobi Hiruzen would stop him.

If he loses his voice in high-level meetings, what kind of high-level official is he? What's the point of being such a high-level official?

Besides, he was not talking nonsense, these were real problems in the plan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen silently looked through the information without saying a word.

If this was someone else's plan, Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude might be similar to that of Mito Kado En, but this was the ninja school reform plan proposed by Mu Yue.

There has never been a mistake in the plan Mu Yue proposed at the Ninja School.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen actually favors reform, but in the current situation, it is really difficult for Sarutobi Hiruzen to speak up.

Once he expressed his opinion, it meant that the new and old Hokage had reached an agreement, and the opinions of Utane Koharu and Mitokado En were no longer important.

Wouldn't that be stepping on an old friend to help Mu Yue? Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't want to do this and can't do it.

It’s not like the reform won’t be passed anyway. At worst, we can just hold another meeting and pass it again next time.

PS:

Sorry for the slightly late update, something went wrong.

The extra updates in the past two days were just a warm-up. In one day, it will be the happy seven-day National Day holiday.

The plan is to update no less than 7-8k words every day, and I will write more if I can.

Chapter 689: Tough Mu Yue

"Then let me ask you, Consultant Yan, do you understand the cost of reform?"

Mu Yue did not answer Mizuto Menyan's question, but asked Mizuto Menyan a question in return.

"It costs an extra school year. The increase in the total number of grades leads to an increase in the demand for teachers, which in turn leads to an increase in teacher salary expenses and the cost of building new teaching buildings and classrooms."

Mitomon En said as much as he could what he was thinking.

Mu Yue gave Minato Namikaze a look, and Minato Namikaze stood up, took out a booklet and placed it in front of Mitomon En.

"Recompiling primary school textbooks, writing new middle school textbooks, expanding schools..." Namikaze Minato began to talk about the detailed expenses required for the reform.

Everything that Mitokado En mentioned was also mentioned by Minato Namikaze, and everything that Mitokado En did not mention was also mentioned by Minato Namikaze.

Mizuto Menyan listened while flipping through the booklet in front of him and found that Mu Yue and the others had already roughly calculated the expenses.

"Since you know that it will cost so much manpower and financial resources, why do you still want to carry out reforms?" Mitomon Yan did not give in.

What’s the use of preparing a budget? Who can clearly say about the quality of students in the future and who can guarantee it?

Maybe Mu Yue would have this ability if he were a teacher himself, but Mu Yue is the Hokage now after all, and it is impossible for him to go to the ninja school to teach in person.

"The Nidaime's ninja school has inspired other ninja villages throughout the ninja world to follow suit. For decades, no ninja village has undergone major reforms. Doesn't this demonstrate the superiority of the current ninja schools?"

Mu Yue picked up the teacup and moistened her throat. Since Mito Menyan wanted to argue, don't blame him for being rude.

"Exercise will make the body demand more abilities, and eating more food will consume more money. Consultant Yan, didn't you exercise when you were young?" Mu Yue asked Mitomon Yan.

Mitomon Yan was about to answer that this was not the case, but Mu Yue immediately continued:

"Fortunately, Advisor Yan was born at the end of the Warring States Period, otherwise Konoha might not have been the first to propose the idea of ​​a ninja school. After all, when the Second Hokage wanted to establish a ninja school, all the ninja villages in the ninja world were still using the training methods of the Warring States Period.

According to what you said, Advisor Yan, everyone is still using the Warring States training method, which means that the Warring States ninja training method is excellent, and there is no need to establish a ninja school.

Mizuto Menyan wanted to refute, but although Mu Yue didn't use a single dirty word in her words, she was almost explicitly calling him blind and short-sighted.

But this was indeed the logic behind what he had just said, which made Mitomon Yan not know how to refute it for a moment.

The look in Utane Koharu's eyes when she looked at Mu Yue changed.

Mu Yue is very talkative, and her words are extremely sharp, unlike her usual gentle personality.

"If other ninja villages don't change, we won't change either. How can a Konoha like this distance itself from other ninja villages?" Mu Yue emphasized, knocking on the table.

Although this was not his original intention, it did not stop him from raising the banner.

Mu Yue's words made Sarutobi Hiruzen fall into deep thought.

Konoha is very strong now, and it will be even stronger in the future.

But is this the strength that Konoha must have? In fact, no, this is the strength that Mu Yue brought to Konoha.

Mu Yue not only has great strength but also has extraordinary teaching talent. Not only is he strong, but he has also brought up several disciples with great potential and a large number of good students.

If Mu Yue's life comes to an end and there is no new Mu Yue in the new era, can Konoha still remain strong? This is an unknown that Sarutobi Hiruzen is not sure about.

When Hashirama Senju was alive, the ninja world was peaceful and no one dared to mess with Konoha.

After Hashirama Senju's death, war broke out rapidly in the ninja world, and Konoha became the center of the war.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sincerely did not want history to repeat itself, even though he would definitely not live to see that day.

But before Sarutobi Hiruzen could speak up for Mu Yue's reforms, Mu Yue looked at Minato and said, "Minato, go ahead."

Namikaze Minato nodded, took out a few documents and placed them in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, then said:

"I just mentioned the reform of middle schools. In the ninja school reform, there will be a university above the middle schools. The university will be a three-year program, and students must meet certain requirements after graduating from middle school before they can continue their studies at the university."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to close his open mouth. Although he didn't know much about university, he started to have a headache when he heard about the three-year system.

From elementary school to university graduation, the process takes ten years!

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't accept the time alone. Let alone ten years of training, even in the Warring States period, a ten-year-old child might have fought on the battlefield several times. This process was too long.

"The university will divide students into majors according to their strengths and interests. For example, students who are good at fire escape can sign up for the fire escape major..." Namikaze Minato continued to explain.

Mizuto Menen was no longer calm. What the hell was this? It was even broken down to the specific attributes of the ninjutsu.

Even the division into classes after graduation and the guidance of Chunin and Jonin are not that detailed. This university is actually divided into such detailed categories.

When Mitomon Yan read the university plan in the information, he was completely overwhelmed. This university might even set up a major in sealing techniques.

However, this time, Mitomon En did not interrupt Minato Namikaze, but waited patiently for Minato Namikaze to finish speaking.

Because he discovered one thing: although this university was unrealistic, it was surprisingly perfect.

In other words, this may be a reform plan that Mu Yue has been preparing for a long time.

Mizuto Menyan had just witnessed Mu Yue's debating skills and didn't want to be embarrassed by an angry Mu Yue again.

"Assistant Minato, this university should be a school for training elite ninjas." After Namikaze Minato finished speaking, Mitomon En immediately spoke.

Namikaze Minato nodded in affirmation.

According to Mu Yue's idea, at least 70% of ninjas should be eliminated from the middle school to university stage.

This is also the reason why Minato Namikaze thinks that university is unrealistic. Nowadays, there are only more than 200 graduates from ninja schools each year. There will be more during wartime due to various reasons, but only about 300 to 400 people.

According to this elimination rate, only a hundred or so ninjas can go to college each year, and then they need to be further subdivided. The number of ninjas that can be accepted in each major is pitifully small.

"But it's too unreasonable to spend such a huge price to train such a group of elites." Mitomon Yan couldn't help but complain.

In middle school, Mizutomon Yan had to rack his brains to think about the shortcomings of reform, but in this university, Mizutomon Yan could easily find unrealistic shortcomings.

Compared to the manpower and financial resources required for university, middle school is no big deal.

Mitomon En said without exaggeration that if Konoha established a university now, it would bankrupt itself.

"It does cost a lot to run a university." Mu Yue nodded in agreement.

Ninja University is not the same as the ordinary university in his previous life. If you have to compare them, Mu Yue’s university plan is to establish a top university.

After all, his university even needs a lot of senior ninjas to teach. With this level of strength, he can even dominate small countries and defeat ninja forces outside the five major ninja villages.

"It is precisely because the plan is imperfect that we need to hold a meeting to discuss it, so that the plan can be improved and more feasible. I believe that after sufficient discussion, we will get a result that everyone is satisfied with." Mu Yue said with a gentle smile.

Utane Koharu and Mitomon En looked at each other, vaguely understanding Mu Yue's thoughts.

Mu Yue may have thought about establishing a university, but probably not now.

However, in order to give them a way out, Mu Yue proposed this completely unfeasible university for them to oppose.

After figuring this out, Mitomon Yan coughed twice and said:

"Reform is indeed necessary, but we have to proceed from a practical perspective. I think it is very feasible to change the current ninja school system to an elementary and secondary school system. As for universities, the time is not right yet."

Mu Yue's performance today really surprised Mito Menyan. He didn't expect Mu Yue to be so tough, which was a huge difference from before.

When Mu Yue was the Hokage's assistant, he rarely spoke during high-level meetings and rarely refuted the words of other senior executives, which left a good impression on Mito Men Yan.

After weighing the pros and cons, Mitomon Yan finally decided to take advantage of the situation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude is too ambiguous, and the two advisors together cannot compete with the Hokage and his assistant.

"The quality of Konoha's Genin should indeed be improved to enhance Konoha's potential." Utane Koharu also changed her tone.

Mu Yue’s performance in the previous high-level meeting caused Utatane Koharu to seriously misjudge the situation. If she had known that Mu Yue would be so tough, she would not have gotten into this bad luck.

Utane Koharu was feeling depressed. She had thought Mu Yue would be a kinder, younger version of the Third Generation, but now it seems that a tougher, younger version of Shimura Danzo is more likely.

"The middle school reform is very good. As the principal of a ninja school, I think it's great." Sarutobi Hiruzen finally expressed his opinion.

All senior executives reached a consensus, and Mu Yue’s proposal to reform the Ninja School was passed.

After the meeting, Minato Namikaze and Mu Yue returned to the Hokage's office together.

"Mu Yue, you are really amazing. It's almost exactly as you expected." Namikaze Minato couldn't help but praise.

Before the meeting, Mu Yue gave Minato Namikaze a meeting rehearsal, predicted the reactions of other senior executives and prepared a response strategy.

So even though it was his first time attending a meeting and he was facing seniors who were twice his age, Minato Namikaze never panicked.

"Because they are so easy to understand." Mu Yue sat down and smiled.

It is hard to say whether Sarutobi Hiruzen likes Quan Youmu Yue or not, but Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu are definitely reluctant to give up the power of advisor.

Until Sarutobi Hiruzen died, until Kakashi abdicated and Naruto became Hokage, these two old guys were still in high positions and really didn't give the young people any chance at all.

Out of the desire for power, and because Mu Yue was usually too kind, it was perfectly normal for the two old guys to want to bully Mu Yue by taking advantage of their seniority.

In fact, Mu Yue doesn't mind decentralization, because the greater the power, the busier he is, and Mu Yue doesn't have that much time to deal with government affairs.

The main reason is that these two old men are incompetent. They have been in senior management for so long, but Mu Yue has not seen them make any useful contributions.

"I think that you, Mu Yue, also have extraordinary talent in politics." Namikaze Minato shook his head.

If it wasn't just predicting the consultants' reactions, then it could be said that the consultants were easy to understand, and that Mu Yue understood them.

However, Mu Yue came up with a solution easily, which made Namikaze Minato realize the difference in their political skills.

"I can't call it talent, I've only done a little research."

Although he has not yet officially started working in the system, in order to go further, he studied various TV dramas frame by frame, read various realistic official novels, and even went to a retired cadre in his relative's home to ask for advice and learn.

However, Mu Yue felt that the most important factor that made it possible to easily resolve this matter was not political wisdom, but his strength and attitude.

Mu Yue's strength and support rate destined him to be a very heavyweight Hokage.

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En are not alone, they also have families and relatives.

If Mu Yue is offended to death, how will those people related to them survive in Konoha in the future?
