Chapter 424: The New Hokage

The entire village was destroyed beyond recognition in the battle with Payne, and only the five statues on Shadow Rock could still tell that this was the Konoha Ninja Village.

Sitting on Hokage Mountain, looking at the construction sites in the village below the mountain, blowing the cool evening breeze, this feeling is still very pleasant, Kakashi seems to be pondering something here at the moment.

"Kakashi-senpai, so you're here. ”

Haruyo suddenly appeared behind Kakashi, took two steps forward and stood beside Kakashi and said.

"Why, the six generations of adults also like to blow the wind here?"

Kakashi didn't look back and was still blowing the wind, his voice was soft, so he was intermittently blown by the evening breeze.

"The seniors laughed, I'm just the acting Hokage, and it's still a bit inappropriate to call me the sixth generation now. ”

Haruyo whispered, and Kakashi shook his head.

"With your talent and ambition, it's probably only a matter of time before you become a true Hokage, right?"

Hearing Kakashi say this, Haruyo said apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Kakashi-senpai. If it weren't for me, the position of this Hokage would be yours. ”

This time, Kakashi finally turned around and stared at Haruhi with his exposed one-eyed eyes fixedly, and he looked at it for a long time before he spoke.

"I repeat, I'm going to give up the campaign, not because of your visit that night, but because I genuinely think you're a better fit than me to be the acting Hokage in the current situation. As I said at the meeting, I'm probably better suited to be a peacetime Hokage. ”

When Haruyo heard Kakashi say this, his face suddenly became a little hot, and he felt a little ashamed in his heart.

"I'm sorry senior, but I was narrow-minded. But thank you for your trust, and I hope we can have a good time working together in the coming time. ”

A smile appeared in Kakashi's eyes at this time.

"Then we'll have a good time together, Hokage-sama. But the ugly words are ahead, and if you are incompetent, I will not hesitate to pull you off the horse. ”

Qingyang smiled happily and immediately nodded heavily.

"Good. ”

......

At the high-level meeting, Haruyo finally succeeded in taking the position of acting Hokage. However, to Qingyang's surprise, in the end, Lu Jiu actually voted against himself, and it seems that Lu Jiu still feels that this step is still a little early for him.

Qingyang didn't blame the teacher's choice in his heart, there should always be opposition in the ninja village. During the period of the three generations of Hokage, he finally chose to tolerate Danzo, precisely because the moderate three generations knew that there needed to be a tough person to be the opposition.

The current acting Hokage is the hard-handed Haruyo, and there should also be an opposition who advocates peace. But now this opposition has not seen any clues, and Qingyang has not been prepared to invite his teacher to take on this role first.

As for the fact that the teacher may not have accepted the fact that he has grown up now, Qingyang believes that time is enough for the teacher to have confidence in himself.

After becoming the acting Hokage, Haruyo's office was moved from the Ninja Department to the village. Before Payne attacked the village, most of the buildings in the village were destroyed by Nagato's jutsu, and even the meeting to determine Haruyo as the acting Hokage was held in a makeshift conference room built by Yamato with ninjutsu.

"Hokage-sama, the reconstruction of the village has been arranged, the security work and the Ministry of Patience are gradually taking over, and all the letters from your successor Hokage have been sent, and I believe they will soon be sent to the hands of the other four Kage. ”

Taking the Shikamaru handpiece, Qingyang looked at it at a glance, and at the same time his mouth was not idle.

"I'm relieved that you do things, but Shikamaru, there are some words to pay attention to. I'm just acting Hokage now, and it's still a bit inappropriate to use the word 'succession', I'm just taking the position of Hokage temporarily. ”

After Qingyang's words, Shikamaru gently supported the back of his head and said a little lazily.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, with your character, sooner or later the word 'agent' will be removed. ”

Qingyang was completely tempered by Shikamaru's temperament, and it was difficult to change his lazy temperament with him for several years.

"You, if you can get rid of this personality as soon as possible, I can't make my current position yours. ”

Listening to Qingyang's joke, Shikamaru still looked like his eyes were scattered.

"Hehe, it's better to take a nap if you have that time, you just took over the Hokage's work for the past two days, and you have slept two hours less than usual. ”

Qingyang was stunned by what Shikamaru said for a while, and waved his hand helplessly.

"Alright, you go out, sooner or later you have to transfer Sakai or Yakumo back. Your secretary is too incompetent, has no sense of humor, and is unforgiving. ”

Shikamaru heard Qingyang say this, and he really turned his head and went out, and when he was about to walk to the door, he actually left a sentence.

"I can't understand your 'old man' sense of humor. ”

After saying that, Lu Jiu walked out of the office and closed the door by the way, leaving Qingyang with a depressed face in a lonely daze in the office.

Qingyang was indeed in a daze, because after arranging things in the past few days, he found that he had nothing to do.

It's not that there's really nothing to do, it's just that as the Hokage, you have to think about things from the perspective of the whole village. After the division of several major events in the village, all he, the Hokage, had to do was supervise and manage. Then he used all kinds of tough or gentle means to deal with the relationship with various interest groups, of course, this is also the most troublesome thing for him, and the main reason for his reduced sleep these days also comes from this.

In addition to these, Qingyang found that there was really nothing to do for himself. There's a lot of stuff going on in the Ninja Department, but as Hokage, he can't soak in a certain department all day long.

More importantly, with the development of the Ninja Department, the work in charge of each department is becoming more and more specialized, just yesterday Inuzuka Hua came to him with the latest project book of the Ninja Research Department, and Qingyang found that there was already content in the project book that he couldn't understand.

So one of the things that Qingyang thinks about every day now, is to split the forbearance department.

The work in charge of the Ministry of Ninja is a little too comprehensive.,Garrison、Research and Development、Military、Commerce、Diplomacy、Education,It's as if all aspects of the Ministry of Ninja can intervene.,To put it seriously, the Department of Ninja is simply a small Konoha.。 Of course, it is precisely because of this that Qingyang can rise rapidly in such a short period of time.

Because he is the founder of the Forbearance Department, Qingyang understands how powerful the Forbearance Department is. When Tsunade was on stage, he talked clearly with Qingyang, and coupled with the influence of the three generations on Qingyang and Qingyang's own reason, he could ensure the stability of the village.

Now that Haruyo is the acting Hokage, the first thing to think about is to split the Shinobi Department. Of course, things have to be done little by little, and he can't agree to break it up completely. The Department of Forbearance is now a complete system, and if it is dismantled and scattered, all links will collapse.

However, similar diplomatic functions can be completely separated, after all, now his own Hokage, as long as he is there, it doesn't matter if the diplomatic function belongs to the logistics department, and it will not affect the operation of the ninja department. The power that really needs to be ceded in the end should be none other than commerce and the military, and the right to do business independently is the money bag of the Ministry of Patience, and the right to lead the army alone is the shuriken of the Ministry of Patience.

In fact, before making the decision to split the Ministry of Forbearance, Qingyang himself was extremely conflicted. After all, he is still only the acting Hokage, and Tsunade will still wake up after all, and what he will do when Tsunade wakes up has not yet figured out what he will do.

It would be best if he could directly take over the sixth generation, but if Tsunade hadn't decided to succeed him for the time being, he would still be just the Minister of Patience, and at that time he would only have a split Department of Patience in his hands.

This contradiction was finally answered, no matter how long Tsunade would be unconscious, since Haruhi is the Hokage now, he should use the Hokage's thinking to consider, if he always prioritizes the power in his hands, then he is just an oligarch with the same interests as the patriarch of other families, and he is not worthy of being this Hokage. Besides, Qingyang was not timid when he started from scratch, would he still be afraid of ceding some of his power?

In addition to thinking about the problems of the Ministry of Patience, Qingyang has been thinking more about himself these days. The Ninja Department is becoming more and more professional, and the top issues of the Ninja Research Department can be said to have nothing to do with him, so as the Hokage, he should think more about what he can stay.

This interrogation of himself began as early as the second joint shinobi exam with Sha Yin, and since then, Qingyang has also begun to try to do one thing, that is, to simplify his technique. Gathering and dissolving prisons, gathering and dissolving balls, the art of wild horse nets, and the art of wild horse mirage...... The water escape ninjutsu developed by him has a certain popularity.

What Qingyang is doing is simplifying these techniques and making them popular. After nearly three years of hard work, the poly dissolution prison has been simplified to B-level ninjutsu, and the polydissolving ball has also been simplified to an ordinary A-level ninjutsu, as for the simplification of the Wild Horse Luo Net Technique and the Wild Horse Mirage Technique, there is still a great deal of difficulty, these two techniques have too great requirements for the control of Chakra, and it naturally determines that their threshold will not be too low.

In addition to these, Qingyang decided to study three generations himself, and from now on he will sort out and summarize himself, hoping to leave a batch of wealth to the ninja world after his death.

But at the moment, Qingyang is not thinking about this, there is no one in the office, and the general work in the village has also been arranged, and the specific work of the forbearance department cannot be interfered with by himself, so Qingyang decided to go out for a walk and be lazy.
