After the meeting, he slowly walked out of Konoha Hospital.

Asami Masumi glanced at the blue sky above her head, then withdrew her gaze and walked in the direction of the Hokage Building.

Although she successfully became the vice president of Konoha Hospital and has a higher position in the medical department, it also means that she will receive more attention now.

From her observations over the past two months, at least two teams of undercover have begun to secretly investigate some of the management personnel in the medical department.

Familiar faces were gone, and then many new faces were replaced, and in just two months, Tsunade, the new Hokage, managed to gather almost half of the power in the medical department, including Konoha Hospital.

Even Masumi Asami has to admit that Tsunade has the prestige of this field in the medical industry. The power that he has worked so hard to cultivate secretly for so many years is far inferior to others ascending to the heights.

This is probably the so-called general trend.

As long as you go step by step, Konoha will sooner or later usher in a warming boom.

It's just that at that time, maybe it was also the most serious moment for Konoha to fight for power.

After all, this is a historical legacy that sounds illusory, but it is extremely cruel, and the reality exists within Konoha.

Coming to the door of the Hokage's office, Asami Masumi cleaned up her mood and knocked lightly on the door panel.

"Come in."

It wasn't Tsunade's voice that responded to her, but a calm and thick one.

Pushing open the door and entering the office, Asami Masumi saw that in the office, there was only one person, Nara Shikahisa, the leader of the upper ninja squad, and he was the one who responded just now.

As the Hokage's Tsunade, he is now missing.

"Mr. Shikaku."

Asami Masumi came over with the file bag and greeted Lu Jiu politely.

Lu Jiu was standing next to his desk, sorting through the documents on it, dividing them strictly and subdividedly, and picking out the most valuable parts of them and carefully putting them aside.

The purpose of this is to make it unnecessary for the Hokage to deal with trivial matters all day long, which not only reduces the pressure of the Hokage's work, but also accelerates the development of the village and improves the efficiency of work as much as possible.

Today's Konoha needs to run important departments as quickly as possible, and unimportant departments are put on hold for the time being, waiting for follow-up processing.

"Good afternoon, Vice President Asami, are you here to submit your proposal?"

At this time, Lu Jiu looked up at the file bag in Asami Masumi's hand.

"Yes, it's about the medical sector and the hospital plan for this year...... However, Hokage-sama doesn't seem to be in the office, so did he go to work and inspect again? It's really busy. ”

Asami Masumi said intentionally or unintentionally.

Maybe the medical department can quickly become a huge boost to himself according to Tsunade's development blueprint, but now Konoha needs to integrate not only the medical department, such as the Hokage's direct force, the Dark Department, but also make huge changes.

Even in order to increase their authority, the power of the shadows needs to be expanded.

This will test Tsunade's understanding of Konoha.

As a Konoha Shinobi who had been outside for a long time before becoming the Hokage, if it wasn't combined with the political environment blocked by Konoha and changed indiscriminately, then an occasional experiment...... It could also cost Tsunade dearly.

As a doer-oriented Hokage who is inspired to make Konoha strong, it's impossible not to understand these truths.

Although it is said that the authority of the dark part will be expanded, how will the dark part be expanded, how long will it take to expand the degree of her satisfaction, the interests involved, whether the advisors will block it, what is the attitude of the ninja towards this, and whether the ninja will continue to be outstanding...... This is all a problem that the Hokage needs to focus on, and it can't be done overnight.

The slightest carelessness will make Tsunade's work as a Hokage, which has just improved, extremely difficult.

Not to mention, the root that lurked in the dark did not withdraw from the stage of Konoha, but it only showed weakness on the surface, but the power in the dark did not actually diminish.

Sometimes, Asami Masumi can't help but sigh that the position of the Konoha Hokage is difficult.

With such a complex and huge stake in interests, balancing them is no less difficult than going to the front line to command a large-scale war.

"No, it's not a work inspection, Hokage-sama is instructing his own students."

Lu Jiu shook his head and replied.

"Students? Speaking of which, I've heard of it...... I think the student was called Sakura Haruno. ”

Asami Masumi remembered something and said.

"Yes, I didn't expect Hokage-sama to have the interest of accepting apprentices at such an age...... But overall, it's a good thing. Sakura Haruno's talent in medical ninjas is very high, and the medical charm she first proposed is still a hot research object in the medical department. Hokage-sama also takes this very seriously. ”

Shikaku touched his chin, and at first he was also surprised when he knew about it.

But after thinking about it carefully, Shikaku felt that the essence of the master-apprentice relationship between Tsunade and Haruno Sakura was not something to be surprised about.

Before Tsunade returned to the village, Sakura Haruno's evaluation in the medical department was already very high, and she was favored by many medical ninjas, and affirmed her professional ability, believing that she had basically reached the apex of the new generation of medical ninjas.

Thanks to this evaluation, and the joy of seeing the hunt after seeing it with his own eyes, it became understandable that Tsunade suddenly made the decision to accept the apprentice.

Even from the point of view of more utilitarian interests, such a decision can stand.

Because in this way, the promotion in the name of the mentor and apprentice of the two can not only promote the communication between Tsunade and the new generation of ninjas, but also shorten the relationship between the two, and also get a talented student...... It can be said that it is an effect that kills multiple birds with one stone.

Although from Shikaku's point of view, Tsunade's move is more likely to be the work of his own sensibilities, rather than from a purely interest and political point of view.

But from an outsider's point of view, there must be a political element.

The Hokage's position itself meant that the apprentices must have some kind of political purpose, and if they weren't, they would be stereotyped by outsiders.

"So, there will soon be another excellent medical ninja in the village."

Asami Masumi sighed.

Lu Jiu didn't comment on this, he took the file bag from Asami Masumi and took out the documents inside.

Glancing at the expense statement placed on the top, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

"Vice President Asamei, is the amount of funding requested by your medical department this year a little too much?"

As he spoke, Lu Jiu looked away from the amount of funds on the paper with difficulty, and smiled helplessly at Asami Masumi.

Is it really money that is not money?

Although the Daimyo's investment in Konoha is indeed increasing year by year, it is impossible to consume it to the medical department so uncontrollably.

"Mr. Kaku, I'm just making a reasonable request for funding based on Hokage-sama's new proposal for the Konoha medical industry a few years ago, as well as a meeting of the management. To put it mildly, this amount of funding is far from meeting Konoha's supply in the medical field this year, and this is already a financial statement made after the internal effort to cut it. ”

Asami Masumi said to Lu Jiu with a glance.

Shikaku sighed, and instead of answering immediately, he put his gaze back on the paper in his hand, turned over the pages, and scanned the contents.

After reading the entire document, he raised his head and considered his words:

"There are also adult mental health clinics for children...... I remember that this was a medical project that Oni no Kuni had added in his own country, and such a project appeared on the budget statement of the proposal document, so did you plan to start construction this year? ”

The content of the document is very simple, compared with the funds demanded in previous years, this year's medical department has increased the cost of building a mental medical institution for children and adults, resulting in this year's medical department and even Konoha Hospital, becoming a gold-swallowing monster.

As far as Lu Jiu knows, the so-called mental medical institutions, at present, only the country of ghosts in the ninja world has actually practiced it within its own country.

In the past, Konoha had never paid attention to such a thing, and it was built from scratch, so just the initial capital investment made Shikaku feel his scalp tingle.

However, Lu Jiu also knows that once this mental health institution is built, the role can not be simply measured by money, and it is of great significance to Konoha now and even in the future.

Although the ninja culture often says that ninjas are tools, ninjas are willing to use themselves as tools.

However, such an act itself is contrary to human nature itself. This approach to things, although it improves the efficiency of carrying out tasks, also subjectively releases the ninja's rationality to the maximum, puts the task first, and all factors outside the task must be stifled.

But the ninja is a human being, and there is human nature, and things that are contrary to human nature can be violated for a while, but not for a lifetime. In particular, the work content of ninjas, who are often exposed to the bloody and brutal side of the world, can easily catalyze the emotionalization of the ninja's heart, that is, the extreme dark side.

In other words, there is also human nature in the ninja, once their negative emotions are suppressed to the limit by rational thinking, and then one day they experience something to lead to an explosion, which will directly cause the ninja's spirit to suffer a huge setback, so that he will be frustrated, or go to extreme tyranny, which will not only cause the loss of talents, but also endanger the safety of the village and the villagers.

Especially during wars, such examples are not uncommon.

There are quite a few ninjas, all of whom have been shocked by a rather cruel and bloody worldview. Coupled with the long-term mechanism of suppressing emotions, and then using the war as a point to explode the darkness that I have suppressed in my heart, resulting in an extremely unstable mental state. In order to avoid the risk of the existence of this part of the ninja, they will eventually be imprisoned in the Konoha torture room for violent suppression.

But in doing so, it is also a palliative rather than a cure. As long as a reasonable solution is not found, such mental problems will still plague the hearts of ninjas.

This kind of problem is not only manifested in adults, but also ninjas who have not yet formed a mature worldview, in fact, are more likely to be affected by bloody battlefields.

Many ninjas with mental problems who are imprisoned in Konoha are mentally ill in the prison room, and their mental problems have been accumulated since childhood, rather than suddenly appearing in the juvenile and adult stages.

Therefore, if you can detect these ninjas with mental problems in advance and invest in psychotherapy in the early stage, it is possible to stabilize the other person's spirit, reduce the loss of talent, and also play a positive role in stabilizing the village.

Therefore, in Lu Jiu's view, the mental health project for young and adult ninjas should indeed be established, and it is a new major project that must be established.

However, the amount of funds invested in mental health institutions ...... As well as the expected funding given by the medical department, Shikajiu deeply felt that Konoha was a poor ghost.

Of course, with Konoha's development funds, it is not that it is impossible to establish such a project on its own, but because of the relationship between medical charms, Konoha's investment in the medical field is already moving forward. If a mental health institution with the same major project is added this year...... This takes into account not only the problem of capital investment, but also the cost of manpower and time, which is also an inaccurate thing.

A variable full of variables but not precise factors, if you are not careful, it may put Konoha in the embarrassing situation of cutting off the capital chain.

"Mr. Kaku, this is a project that Lord Hokage-sama has asked for the establishment of a medical department this year based on his observation of the medical system of the Oni no Kuni, and I think it is necessary to practice it from the perspective of a medical ninja."

Asami Masumi looked at Lu Jiu with a serious expression.

Shikaku was about to speak and express his opinion when the door to his office was suddenly pushed open, and Tsunade walked in from the outside.

She saw that Asami Masumi was also in the office, and she was a little surprised, and quickly regained her composure.

"Masumi, you're here too."

"Hokage-sama."

Asami Masumi turned around and bowed to Tsunade.

Tsunade waved his hand absently.

"When you come here at this time, have you already made a project plan for the establishment of a mental health institution?"

"Yes, the details of the proposal are in the hands of Mr. Shikahisa."

Asami Zhencheng is neither humble nor arrogant to answer.

"Hokage-sama."

Lu Jiu knew that he couldn't hide, so he took the initiative to hand over the document in his hand to Tsunade to read.

Tsunade took it, glanced at it roughly, then turned his head to look at Lu Jiu, and asked him, "Lu Jiu, have you read this plan too, what do you think?" ”

"Then I'll be bold enough to speak up, Hokage-sama. I think that in the long run, this is indeed a good thing for the ninja and the villagers as a whole. ”

Lu Jiu didn't care if Asami Masumi was present or not, and said the truest opinion in his heart.

"In other words, from the point of view of short-term development time, you don't support it?"

Tsunade weighed the report document in his hand and understood the hidden meaning of Lu Jiu.

"Yes, with the development funds that we in Konoha can get from the Daimyo Mansion every year, it is also extremely limited. I think Hokage-sama should also know that the medical department already has a major research project, and that is the study of medical charms. If you continue to invest in ...... now"

Lu Jiu's words stopped here, but the meaning was already self-evident.

It's hard to say whether the rest of the departments will have trouble because of this, and with the manpower and material resources that Konoha's medical department can provide, it will be difficult to disperse enough energy to continue to operate the second major project.

From the perspective of the investment cost calculated by the theory of psychological medical institutions, it is definitely a major project that is not smaller than the investment in medical charms.

As a result, it is likely that the Konoha medical system will be overloaded, which will affect the rest of the important sectors that need to be developed. In the end, the chicken flies and the eggs are beaten, leaving a place of chicken feathers more likely.

"However, as far as I know, there are many ninjas in the village who have mental illnesses, especially those who are under the age of twenty or even younger, and their mental endurance is far less strong than we imagined. If this project can be established and finally perfected, I dare not say that it will solve the problem perfectly, but at least it can be effectively prevented and controlled, and the risk in this area can be reduced as much as possible. Such benefits cannot be ignored either. ”

This is the result of Tsunade's careful investigation.

Among Konoha, a considerable number of ninjas have hidden diseases in this area.

The difference between them and mentally abnormal people is only an opportunity for their inner emotions to collapse.

For Ninja Village, every ninja is a very important resource. In order to protect the ninja as an important resource, any risk that could cause accidents to the ninja must be carefully controlled.

And not only ninjas, but also ordinary villagers may have similar problems.

Especially for a large number of orphans in the village or from other places, the psychological state of these orphans needs to be understood at all times, and professional advice on psychological counseling is given to help them reduce the shadow in their lives. In this way, more people will have a sense of belonging to Konoha from the bottom of their hearts, and they will support and protect the village.

Start at the bottom.

"But the cost is too high, and the daimyo won't cover for us."

Lu Jiu spoke about this reality.

The funding provided by the daimyo government has always been limited, and if the investment in the medical field is increased, it means that the rest of the field will be limited.

Especially in the military field, in this national environment where the great powers are constantly engaged in military competition, Konoha must invest most of the funds invested by the daimyo's mansion into the military every year, and set a minimum value to ensure that Konoha's military power is in a state of positive growth every year.

In this way, Konoha can ensure its long-term deterrence in the international arena.

"So don't you ask the medical department to write a detailed plan first, you're the head of the upper ninja squad, there should be a way, right?"

Tsunade stared at Shikaku, seemingly convinced of Shikaku's abilities, thinking that he would be able to give an answer that would have the best of both worlds.

“……”

Lu Jiu was speechless for a while, is there a way, is there any inevitable connection with whether he is the leader of the ninja squad or not?

The solution to some problems, although theoretically possible, is very difficult to implement in practice. In other words, there is not much room for a knife at all.

Even so, Lu Jiu still said: "Then I will make it clear, it is impossible to fully implement mental health institutions in the village at present." Because the resources at the disposal of Konoha and the Oni Country cannot be compared head-on, because the gap is too large, it is unwise not to follow the Oni Nation according to the actual situation. However, if Hokage-sama insists on implementing this mental health project, it is not impossible, but it must be completed gradually in several steps. For example, in the first year, we will do a good job in the relevant training of personnel, and in addition, we will not invest additional funds, and the remaining steps will be put on hold until next year and the year after next year to be gradually implemented. In this way, even if the expenditure is slightly overflowing, the risk can be controlled within the minimum range. ”

"In that case...... It's okay to pour. ”

Tsunade was thoughtful.

She never thought that she could reach the sky in one step, and the road of mental health care has a long way to go for the current Konoha.

"But there's also the problem that we don't have a dedicated training of medical staff in this area. It may take a long time to figure it out on your own, and you won't get noticeable results. ”

Lu Jiu said a very realistic situation again.

The problem of funding can be solved, but if there is no talent in the relevant fields, even if funds are injected, it may not be able to do a good job in personnel training. Especially in the early stage, if some results are not made, it is easy to hit the self-confidence of the staff.

"If you don't have people trained in this area, what do you think of getting funding from the Oni Country?"

Tsunade pondered for a moment and spoke his opinion.

Lu Jiu and Asami Masumi were both stunned.

Lu Jiu frowned even more, he didn't expect Tsunade to make such an opinion.

It is true that the land of demons, relying on its strong mobilization and economic strength, has established a sizable mental healing institution, not only to supply ninjas, but also to provide corresponding services to civilians.

With such a perfect organization, if Konoha can successfully connect with it, the benefits to Konoha are self-evident. The establishment of so-called mental health institutions is not a problem.

However, it is not so simple.

Konoha and the country of ghosts have too many prejudices against each other, and it is almost impossible to cooperate on major projects.

"Vice Dean Aami, what do you think of Hokage-sama's proposal?"

Lu Jiu did not give his own answer, but asked Xiang Asami Masumi.

Asami Masumi thought for a moment.

"I don't think it's going to work, because of the past disputes, many people have prejudices about the country of ghosts...... If Hokage-sama proposes to cooperate with the country of ghosts at this time, it is difficult to say whether they will be able to cooperate, but there will definitely be people who will spread rumors against Hokage-sama, which will affect Hokage-sama's reputation and cause the village to fall into a storm of public opinion again. In this way, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

After Asami Masumi finished expressing her opinion, Lu Jiuya nodded and said, "That's right, I agree with Vice Dean Asami." Besides, there is another point, that is, the 'commission fee' that we Konoha can pay in this transaction, I am afraid that it will be difficult to satisfy the country of ghosts. From the perspective of pure interests, there is no need for the country of ghosts to reduce their prices and support the development of Konoha. If the Oni Country really intends to cooperate with us Konoha because of this, it can only mean that they have other purposes and are not really helping. ”

Seeing that the two of them all vetoed their proposals, Tsunade was a little depressed, but he didn't dwell on it for too long.

She knew very well that it would be very difficult to change the existing atmosphere in Konoha.

"In that case, then the professionals who treat mental illness should be trained by ourselves." Tsunade gave up the idea of uniting the country of ghosts at this time, so he had to hold back his thoughts and said to Asami Masumi: "Masumi, this task is completed by you, and the personnel are also personally selected by you, and the operating funds will be transferred to the account of the medical department in three days." As with the medical charms that are being studied, it's important to take this matter seriously so that these trainers can make a difference in the field. ”

"Yes, then I'll step back first, Hokage-sama."

Asami Masumi's face was grim, and after nodding, she quickly left the office and returned to Konoha Hospital.

After Asami Masumi left, Tsunade Aya relaxed her momentum, sat down in the office chair, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"The position of the Hokage is really tiring. As soon as I finished teaching the students, I had to come back to deal with government affairs, and I didn't have time to rest at all. ”

Tsunade hammered his shoulder with his fist to make it feel less stiff.

For Tsunade's behavior of complaining about the tiredness of work from time to time at this time, Shikajiu has taken it for granted, but it is precisely a proof that he trusts him enough to take off his usual serious disguise here and present his truest appearance.

"But I think Hokage-sama is busy and enjoying it."

Lu Jiu said with a smile.

"Which eye do you have to see that I'm having fun? It's supposed to be a joy out of suffering, right? ”

Tsunade corrected Shikaku's statement, and mocked himself in a mocking manner.

Lu Jiu shook his head with a smile and did not refute.

"Speaking ......"

Tsunade's voice suddenly rang out in the office.

"Is there anything else, Hokage-sama?"

Lu Jiu turned his head in confusion.

"Well, it's not a big deal, I just wanted to ask you some questions."

After Tsunade crossed his hands and put them on the table, his seemingly casual attitude made Lu Jiu smell a different smell.

"Ask questions? Hokage-sama, please. ”

"Then I'm not going to ask politely, Lu Jiu, what do you think of the country of ghosts?"

When he asked this sentence, Tsunade put on a leisurely attitude of pretending to be chatting indifferently, but his gaze swept over Shikaku's face as if he were nothing, and his movements were very subtle, inadvertently observing the change in the other party's expression.
