Chapter 542: Change (1)
January 1, Konoha 60.
8 a.m.
Konoha.
On the rooftop of the Hokage office building.
Looking at the lively Konoha, Hinata Ichiro said to Tsunade beside him: "Tsunade, Konoha today is really lively!"
"Today is New Year's Day, and it's supposed to be lively!" said Tsunade.
"In previous years, the New Year's Day festival was not as lively as this year!" Hinata Ichiro said meaningfully.
For Hyuga's meaning, Tsunade knows it.
"Whether it's the Land of Fire or Konoha, the meaning of the representation is extraordinary!" Tsunade said, "So, it's normal for outsiders to pay attention to this change in the national system!"
"Hehe!" Hinata Ichiro smiled.
After laughing, just as Hinata Ichiro was about to speak again, the three generations of Hokage and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire led a group of people to the rooftop.
Seeing this, Hinata Ichiro swallowed what he was about to say back into his stomach.
After the third Hokage walked up to Hinata Ichiro and Tsunade, he asked, "Ichiro, are you ready?"
Hinata Ichiro knew what preparation meant in the words of the three generations of Hokage.
"Hokage-sama, you shouldn't ask me if I'm ready, but if someone else cleans up Yan Yan's interior!" Hinata Ichiro said.
"If Yan Yan's interior hadn't been cleaned up, how could I have come here to ask if you were ready!" said the third Hokage.
The words of the three generations of Hokage made it clear to Hinata Ichiro that the time had come for him to act.
So, Hinata Ichiro first nodded to Tsunade, and then closed his eyes.
When Hinata Ichiro closed his eyes, whether it was Tsunade, the three generations of Hokage, or other Konoha powerhouses, they all found themselves losing Hinata Ichiro's breath.
If it weren't for the fact that he could still see Hinata Ichiro's figure with his eyes, Tsunade and the three generations of Hokage and other strong people would still think that Hinata Ichiro had disappeared without a trace.
A second later.
Hinata Ichiro opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, Hinata Ichiro's body was covered with a golden chakra coat.
"Smack-"
With a soft sound, Hinata Ichiro clasped his hands together.
"Drink—"
With a loud shout, the power in Hinata Ichiro's body gushed out.
As the power in Hinata Ichiro's body gushed out, the wind and clouds over Konoha changed.
The next moment.
Mt. Yan (the hill on which the faces of the Hokage of the past dynasties are carved) has changed—it seems to have turned from solid to liquid, condensing towards the middle as soft as a bone.
Looking at the changes in Yan Yanshan, and feeling the ground under his feet was stable and waveless, the three generations of Hokage lost his voice and said, "What amazing control!"
The three generations of Hokage were surprised that Konoha was not shaken by the changes in Yan Yan Mountain.
In fact, in terms of the fact that Konoha was not shaken by the changes in Yan Yanshan, it was not only the three generations of Hokage who were surprised, except for Tsunade, the other Konoha powerhouses present were surprised by the precision of Hinata's control of power.
……
——————————
Yanyan Mountain is the landmark building of Konoha Village, so it has become a subconscious action of Konoha villagers to take a look at Yanyan Mountain from time to time.
When the first villager to discover the changes in Yanyan Mountain told others about his discovery, the news of the changes in Yanyan Mountain spread quickly.
Then, Konoha Village boiled.
Immediately, both the villagers who were doing things and the villagers who had nothing to do walked towards the Hokage office building.
The vision of the crowd gathering towards one place immediately attracted the attention of the Shadow Ninja who was guarding the Hokage's office building.
After quickly inquiring about the reason why the crowd was gathering towards the Hokage's office building, the leading shadow ninja immediately reported to the three generations of Hokage.
Upon learning that the Konoha villagers were all heading here, the three Hokages immediately instructed the Shadow Ninjas to maintain order in consideration of the safety of the Konoha villagers—after all, accidents are very likely to occur in crowded places.
In addition, in order to prevent people from spreading rumors, the three generations of Hokage not only asked the Shadow Ninja to announce to the Konoha villagers that the change of Yan Yanshan was a business matter, but also asked the Shadow Ninja to announce to the Konoha villagers that Konoha would establish the Hokage Memorial Hall.
A few minutes later.
Through the information of the Shadow Ninja, the crowd of people who gathered towards the Hokage Office Building knew that the change of Yan Yanshan was a business matter, and also knew that Konoha would establish the Hokage Memorial Hall.
However, the crowd did not disperse - the crowd continued to gather towards the Hokage office building.
……
Half an hour later.
Yanyan Mountain has been transformed from a mountain range into a rectangular rock platform with a smooth surface.
(As early as December last year, the buildings on Yanyan Mountain were demolished.) )
At this point, the faces of the successive generations of Hokage originally carved on Yanyan Mountain disappeared without a trace.
"Hokage-sama, please let someone unfold the planned drawings!" Hinata Ichiro, who had stopped the power output, said to the third generation Hokage, "I need to make some changes to Yan Yanshan according to the planned drawings!"
Hearing Hinata Ichiro's words, the three generations of Hokage immediately let the people around him unfold the planning drawings.
After memorizing the contents of the drawing, the power in Hinata Ichiro's body gushed out again.
Immediately, Yan Yanshan changed again.
……
Another half hour passed.
"Whew-"
After making changes to Yan Yanshan according to the planned drawings, Hinata Ichiro, who had gathered his strength, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright!" Hinata Ichiro said, "I have made changes to the interior and exterior of Yanyan Mountain according to the planned drawings!"
"I won't interfere with the rest!"
"I'm sure the construction workers will do the rest!"
Looking at Yan Yanshan, who was already unrecognizable, the three generations of Hokage nodded and agreed with Hinata Ichiro's statement.
Afterwards, the three generations of Hokage said to everyone: "Since the matter of Yan Yanshan is over, let's go down to have a meeting!"
"It's time to pass the list of official positions!"
Regarding the proposal of the three generations of Hokage, everyone and others have no objections.
After that, the group left the rooftop of the Hokage's office building.
……
After Yan Yanshan changed, the crowd gathered in front of the Hokage's office building slowly dispersed.
Of course, the dispersion of the crowd does not mean that the voices discussing the changes in Yanyan Mountain have stopped - even if the crowds disperse, the voices of discussing the changes in Yanyan Mountain are still all over Konoha.
……
——————————
Midday.
The Hokage office building.
Conference Room 1.
After several hours of deliberation, the congregation voted to approve the list of officers.
(Over the past year, the vast majority of the positions in the official job list have been confirmed, with the exception of a few individuals.) )
(Hours of deliberation are deliberations on the positions of those who have not yet decided on their final positions.) )
According to the official position list, the positions of the people are arranged as follows:
Elect Tsunade as the Interim Prime Minister of the Fire Nation, the Interim Chairman of the Fire Nation Political Affairs Committee, and the Interim Chairman of the Fire Nation Military Council;

……

……
In a series of nominations and appointments, the first phase of the transformation of the national system in the Fire Nation came to an end.
(In the past year, the content of the national system reform has been fine-tuned again in order to smoothly implement the national system reform.) )
……
——————————
Prime Minister's Office (formerly Hokage's Office).
(Since the construction of the new office building has just begun, all the central officials who have taken up the new positions work in the Hokage office building.) )
After the meeting, Tsunade and Ichiro Hinata came to the Prime Minister's Office.
After closing the door to the prime minister's office, Hinata Ichiro said what he wanted to say.
"Tsunade, I want you to appoint me as the leader of the Ninja Force Creation Team in the Land of Fire!" Hinata Ichiro said to Tsunade.
For Hinata Ichiro's opening of the official, Tsunade was very surprised.
After recalling Hinata's words, Tsunade understood the reason why Hinata Ichiro opened his mouth to ask for an official.
"Ichiro, do you want to meddle in the creation of the ninja force?" asked Tsunade.
"Yes!" Hinata Ichiro nodded.
"Why is that?" asked Tsunade, puzzled.
"Creating a ninja force is not simply a matter of incorporating Konoha ninjas into a ninja force!" Hinata Ichiro replied, "For some Konoha ninjas, we can't let them into the ninja force!"
"Who are some of the Konoha ninjas you are referring to?" asked Tsunade.
"Someone who ignores the interests of the country!" Hinata Ichiro said.
"People who ignore the interests of the country are not allowed to enter the ninja forces!" Tsunade said, "It's just that we have no way of judging whether a person values the interests of the country or not!"
"Please summon all the ninjas in the village to gather at the ninja school in batches as the temporary chairman of the Military Committee of the Fire Country!" Hinata Ichiro said, "All the ninjas I am talking about, including the former Hokage's direct shadow and the original 'root' ninja!"
"What are you going to do?" asked Tsunade.
"I'm going to hold a written exam!" Hinata Ichiro said.
"Do you think the written test can tell if a person values the interests of the country?" asked Tsunade with a frown.
"Of course, it is impossible to judge whether a person values the interests of the country or not!" Hinata Ichiro said, "However, the written test allows us to know a person's choice!"
"You can hide yourself!" Tsunade said.
"I know what you're saying!" Hinata Ichiro said, "The purpose of my written test is to weed out a group of people who don't even want to hide it—what's the use of these people who don't even want to hide it!"
As for what Hinata Ichiro wanted to express, Tsunade understood.
Immediately, Tsunade asked, "What is the content of the written test?"
Hearing Tsunade's question, Hinata Ichiro informed Tsunade of the content of the written test.
After understanding the content of the written test, Tsunade frowned and asked, "Ichiro, do you think it is appropriate to use such content in the written test?"
"It's a bit out of place!" Hinata said.
"Since you don't think it's appropriate, why don't you change the content of the written test?" asked Tsunade.
"From the reality of Konoha, the content of this written test is very targeted!" Hinata Ichiro said.
Regarding this point that Hinata Ichiro said, Tsunade was silent.
After a few seconds.
"The old man wouldn't agree to test the Konoha ninja with such a written test!" Tsunade said.
"At this time, he is the temporary presiding judge of the court, and he has no right to interfere in the military!" Hinata Ichiro said.
"Although the old man does not have the right to interfere in the military, you can't help but consider his influence on the Konoha ninjas!" Tsunade said, "After all, the selection targets of the ninja force are mainly Konoha ninjas!"
"If the old man speaks out, you are very likely to become the target of public criticism!"
"He's not going to make a sound!" Hinata Ichiro said.
"Why are you so sure he won't be able to speak?" asked Tsunade.
"Because morality is in my hands!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Whoever speaks out against me is ignoring the interests of the country!"
"He can't be unaware of this!"
Speaking of this, Hinata Ichiro paused and said, "Besides, those who were eliminated from the ninja army have nothing to lose!"
"They're still living the same life as before – a life of earning money by completing tasks!"
"At most, these people have lost their status as official ninjas!"
"I'd like to think about it!" said Tsunade.
"When the judgment continues, you will suffer from the chaos!" Hinata Ichiro said, "It is a matter of national security, you should be bold and resolute!"
"Okay!" Tsunade gritted his teeth and said, "Regarding the written test, I approve it!"
……
Ninja School.
Playground.
Before the Konoha ninjas, who needed to take a written test, came to the playground, the playground had already gathered the high-level leaders of the Fire Country and the patriarchs of the Konoha ninja clan.
Regarding Tsunade's order for all ninjas in the village to go to the ninja school in batches to take the written exam, the high-level leaders of the Fire Country and the major ninja patriarchs of Konoha are very concerned.
Because Sarutobi is no longer the Hokage, the first person to ask is Mito Menyan.
"Tsunade-hime, why do you want all the ninjas in the village to take a written test?" Mito Menyan asked.
After Mito Menit's question came out, Hinata Ichiro didn't wait for Tsunade to speak, and preemptively answered Mitomen's question.
Hinata Ichiro spoke, "It's my idea to have all the ninjas in the village take a written test!"
"I have been appointed by Prime Minister Tsunade as the leader of the Ninja Force Creation Team of the Fire Nation because I want to weed out the Konoha ninja who are not suitable for entering the Ninja Force!"
"In addition, not only all ninjas in the village need to take a written test, but even the Konoha ninjas who leave the village to perform tasks and the ninjas of the Fire Country, who are not under the jurisdiction of Konoha in the first place, also need to take a written test!"
"Of course, if there is a ninja who doesn't want or doesn't want to join the ninja army, then he doesn't have to take a written exam!"
"What does it mean to weed out Konoha ninjas who are not suitable to enter the ninja army?" Mito Menyan asked.
"The ninja army is used to defend the land of fire!" Hinata Ichiro said, "In other words, the ninja army doesn't need people who don't care about the interests of the country!"
After Hinata Ichiro finished speaking, Mito Menyan was dumbfounded, and the others were silent.
When everyone was silent, the first batch of Konoha ninjas who needed to take a written test came to the ninja school playground.
After counting the first batch of Konoha ninjas who needed to take the written test, Hinata Ichiro stomped his foot.
The next moment, wooden chairs with clipboards appeared on the playground one after another.
