"Lu Jiu, what else is the arrangement for the afternoon?"

After the lunch break at noon, Tsunade, who returned to the Hokage's office, asked Shikaku what else he had planned for the afternoon.

Comparing the text on the itinerary, Lu Jiu glanced at it and replied to Tsunade:

"Hokage-sama, there was only four o'clock left in the afternoon schedule, and there was a small short meeting. Other than that, all I have to do is read the report submitted by the hospital. ”

At this moment, the lunch break has just ended, and the time is only one o'clock, and there are still three hours to spare before four o'clock.

Listening to Lujiu, the next is a three-hour 'short vacation' time.

Even so, Tsunade felt a sense of emptiness when he heard that there was nothing to do next.

Maybe it's because after returning to Konoha and getting used to being busy, I suddenly have nothing to do, so it's inevitable that I'm a little uncomfortable.

"Short meeting...... Are you messing around with those two old things again? ”

Tsunade doesn't really like the two of the advisors.

In particular, the advisory group's behavior of stealing the fruits of the Hokage's exploits in the name of assisting the Hokage's work made her even more disgusted.

If it is stealing the fruits of her labor and being her supporter, it is naturally needless to say more, but taking her benefits, on the contrary, many times it is not on the same front, which is undoubtedly blocking her.

It's just that there is still no way to lift the balance without affecting the stability of Konoha.

Otherwise, these two old things should have been removed from their advisory positions a long time ago.

But today's balance is exactly what all parties in Konoha want to see the most.

It's called 'ruling Konoha with the Hokage', but the real idea is to find ways to increase his power and weaken the Hokage's power under the condition that the rules are established.

Nominally led by the Hokage, but to really run the huge ninja village organization of Konoha requires the approval of the roots and the ninja faction.

Such a restriction made Tsunade feel unhappy more than once.

Fortunately, under her hands, there are several important departments with real power, and most of the dark department is controlled by herself, the Hokage, and a very small part is controlled by the Sarufei clan, so there is not too long a delay in the issuance of the decree, so that it will not be so downtrodden that even the issuance of the decree requires the approval of the root and the ninja clan, otherwise you will not be able to get out of the embarrassing situation of the Hokage's office.

If so, the Hokage is really a mascot on the table.

"Yes."

Accustomed to Tsunade's foul language, Shikaku naturally knew who the old thing in Tsunade's mouth was referring to.

Fortunately, now the three clans of Pig, Deer and Butterfly are still interested in the Hokage, plus the Hyuga clan who has obtained the position of high-level elder, and now the relationship with the Hokage is also close, so that in terms of the balance of power, the Hokage still has the upper hand for a long time.

But to regain the lost power step by step, Lu Jiu believes that this is a long-term plan and cannot be implemented in the short term.

A major shift is needed.

And such a major opportunity for transformation, Lu Jiu can think of two.

The leader of a root, Shimura Danzo, has a natural lifespan, and the martial arts faction has no leader, and at that time, there will definitely be a reshuffle within Konoha.

The second is a strong external pressure environment.

It's just that compared to the first possibility, the second possibility is basically impossible.

Konoha can now be used for as many as 20,000 ninjas participating in the war, although most of them are still middle and lower ninjas, but ninjas are ninjas after all, and when condensed, they are also a powerful deterrent force.

What's more, the next action of the Four-Nation Alliance will make Konoha's external environment more stable.

Therefore, the real opportunity can only be when Tuanzang dies and the roots of the dragons have no leader.

This opportunity may come in five years, ten years, or even longer.

"Forget it, don't mention them, bring the report from the hospital."

Tsunade had always had the idea that the two consultants were out of sight and out of mind, and decided to read the hospital's report as soon as possible.

Shikaku took out the stored report from the bookshelf on the side and handed it to Tsunade to read.

The above report is about the research progress of several major projects that Konoha Hospital has recently carried out.

For example, the research progress of medical charms, and the progress of the training of mental health personnel, are all major tasks that Konoha Hospital will undertake next.

"Because the medical department has asked for a large amount of research funds this year, the directors of the other departments have already submitted many application letters, and I hope that Hokage-sama will be restrained in this regard."

As Tsunade read the report, Shikahisa reminded him.

"I've made it very clear about this matter, medical research must be intensified, so that the losses of the Konoha ninja in the mission can be reduced."

"However, the directors of those departments claim that the hospital has not been able to produce results for a long time, and there has been no substantial progress so far, perhaps some people have filled their pockets......

"How can research come to fruition so quickly. At that time, the village promoted medical reform during the Second Shinobi War, and it took several years to gradually complete it. ”

Tsunade scoffed at this statement.

Because the research project of the hospital is very important, she not only sent her own dark department to supervise it personally, but also personally went to review the research work of the research department every half month.

As a senior medical ninja, she could easily see whether these researchers were messing with themselves or not.

After all, with so much money invested, she couldn't just throw it to the research department of the hospital to deal with it herself, and let some people drill into the research department.

At present, the vice president of Konoha Hospital, Masumi Asami, manages these things in an orderly manner, and has found out a lot of researchers who are messing around in the research department, although the progress is a little slow, but the progress of this research is actually not bad.

Apart from the disadvantage of always coming to ask for funds, there are no other problems.

And money is such a thing as a thing that only makes sense if you invest it in.

Although there were some complaints from the rest of Konoha this year, in Tsunade's opinion, as long as the results came out, it was completely worth it.

"Moreover, over the years, although the village's medical department has trained a lot of medical ninjas, for the entire village, this number of medical ninjas is completely insufficient. Not only is it surpassed by the Oni Country in terms of scale, but even in the professional field, it can't be compared with the Oni Country. ”

Tsunade finished reading the report compiled by the hospital and felt that this was the top problem that Konoha would face.

She has personally been to the country of Oni to investigate, and she knows how prosperous the medical field there is, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a paradise for medical ninjas.

Moreover, these medical ninjas are designed in such a wide range of fields that many of them are problems that medical ninjas in other countries have not noticed.

If war breaks out, the ninja mortality rate in the country of ghosts is definitely far lower than that of ninjas in other countries.

Regarding Tsunade's question, Lu Jiu was also thoughtful.

Because of the threat of military power in the country of ghosts, Konoha has been strengthening the construction of the military force level over the years, increasing the size of the ninjas, which has led to a leap in military power. But the ensuing problem is also as Tsunade vaguely indicates, there is a serious shortage of medical ninjas.

Too much attention is paid to the expansion of the scale of ninjas, and the combat effectiveness is emphasized, but the training mode of medical ninjas, and even the scale, still have not been improved more.

As a result, the coverage of the medical ninja to the overall Konoha ninja squad is now much lower than during the Third Shinobi War.

In the long run, this is not conducive to the growth of Konoha Village.

Many ninjas do not die directly on the battlefield, but die of their injuries before they have time to receive effective treatment.

"However, at this juncture, the scale of the medical ninja will suddenly increase......"

Not to mention that this year's investment in the entire medical department has far exceeded that of previous years, and in the next December, there will be a huge action, can Konoha take care of so many things when he arrives?

Will it cause discord within the rest of the department?

"Mr. Ape Fei really left me with a huge mess."

Listening to Tsunade's melancholy tone, Lu Jiu stopped talking.

He had heard this kind of complaint from Tsunade countless times, and every time he encountered this kind of thing, the other party couldn't help but sigh like this.

But...... That's right, indeed.

There will be no overlap in the core of the policy that each Hokage focuses on.

The second generation of Hokage created the Ninja School and the Dark Division, increasing the power of the Hokage, which can better mobilize the efficiency of the village, and enhance the military power of the village, so that the power is concentrated, and it is also the Hokage of Konoha , the most powerful period, no one dares to touch his brow.

The third generation Hokage took office on the verge of danger, and in order to ensure the stability of Konoha, he focused on the balance of the various groups in the village. However, due to some mistakes in the policy and personal selfishness, the roots continue to grow, leaving a lot of lake accounts.

The four generations of Hokage died young, and he only had been in power for nearly a year, and he did very little, and although he had a grand development strategy, he had no time to implement it.

And now Tsunade, as the fifth generation of Hokage, is enterprising, aggressive, and at the same time can ensure the stability of the village, which is very similar to the governing strategy of the second generation Hokage, and wants to concentrate the power of the Hokage again, so as to facilitate the idea in her heart.

It can be said that there is a great deal of ambiguity with the conservative policy implemented by the three generations of Hokage.

In Tsunade's eyes, the policy of the three generations was too conservative, and even if the style changed in the later period, it failed to really change anything after all, so the pressure was all concentrated and pressed on Tsunade's head.

"Anyway, what's going on with Class 7 lately?"

Tsunade asked the question instead.

To this question, Lu Jiu quickly responded: "The progress of the seventh class is relatively good, according to Tenzo's report, in the previous assault training, Naruto's ability to sense external dangers has been appropriately improved. After returning to the mission, the team members performed well. In particular, Naruto's growth, his chakra control, including basic training such as physical arts, has reached the standard and exceeded the original expectations. Jiraiya-sama is considering taking some time to take him to Myoki Mountain to retrain in immortal arts. ”

"Did that stinky boy achieve his training targets so quickly?"

"This is all thanks to the quick effect of the shadow clone cultivation method, otherwise, there is no way to complete these trainings in just a few months."

Lu Jiu gave this kind of pertinent evaluation.

"I heard that Kakashi taught Naruto this method?"

"Yes."

Tsunade nodded, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the office, and after a closer look, the other party was wearing a dark costume, obviously a ninja directly under Tsunade.

"Hokage-sama, here's an urgent letter from the Daimyo."

"Bring it."

"Yes!"

The dark department quickly delivered the letter to Tsunade.

Tsunade opened the letter and swept it, and his face suddenly became solemn.

"Hokage-sama, what happened?"

When Shikaku saw Tsunade's face, he knew that something big had happened.

"There was a large-scale workers' rebellion in the territory of Ikenokuni, and the daimyo located in the castle was also attacked by unknown people while traveling, and the daimyo asked us Konoha to take over the commission of Ikenokuni and go to its country to investigate."

"Ikenokuni?"

Shikaku remembers that this is a very small seaside country in the ninja world, and like Yunokuni, it is a small country with a well-developed hot spring industry, and the development of the hot spring industry, second only to Yunokuni, is a good tourist destination.

However, what he did not expect was that there would be a workers' riot in this country, and there would be unknown people attacking the country's daimyos.

Lu Jiu couldn't help but think of the country of ghosts, and this country is the only country that would do this kind of thing in secret.

Fanning the workers and people at the bottom and bringing other countries into a chaotic state of war is the country's forte.

Even the country of water, far away from the mainland, has also suffered from it, and to this day, the four generations of Mizukage in the Fog Hidden Village are still indignant about this matter, and they have been sending letters over for the past few months, asking when the Hokage can send troops, saying that his side is ready to attack at any time.

"But why did the daimyo suddenly ...... at this time?"

Lu frowned in confusion for a long time.

As early as a few months ago, some small countries began to talk to the big countries other than the country of ghosts, hoping that the rest of the big countries, led by the country of thunder, could stop the turmoil caused by the country of ghosts in various parts of the ninja world.

However, for the judgment of this matter, the daimyo of the great powers chose to ignore it and let the forces of the country of ghosts stir up the wind and rain outside and close the country.

It can be said that this is a disguised rejection of the demands of those small countries, allowing their aristocratic group to be suppressed by the country of ghosts.

However, now the daimyo of the Fire Nation has asked Konoha to suddenly intervene in the matter......

Excuse!

Lu Jiu thought of these two words all of a sudden.

That's right, all he can think of is two words: excuses.

Although the four countries formed an alliance, it was not easy to find an excuse to go to war.

Now that Konoha is intervening in the internal war of the Ikeno Country, it is undoubtedly appropriate to find an excuse to attack the Oni Country.

The alliance is complete, and the excuse must now be found to pave the way for the joint operation in December.

"That's the only way to do it. However, it is really troublesome to do......"

Sensing the change in the expression on Lu Jiu's face, a dark flash flashed in Tsunade's eyes.

Is war about to break out?

In a flash, this time has come.

I don't know why, but suddenly it becomes urgent.

"So, what does Hokage-sama mean ......"

"Lu Jiu, look at what other squads are idle in the village."

Tsunade interrupted Shikaku's musings.

The border army stationed in the Fire Nation cannot be deployed, and this mission can only be carried out in a regular squad on the open side, and then assisted by the dark department from the shadows, and carried out in two lines.

After all, the Daimyo of the Fire Nation has solemnly mentioned that this mission is to 'investigate' the work, not to militarily support the Ikeno Country and clash with the Oni Country.

◎

"The turmoil in the Land of Ikes has already happened, and the Land of Fire will follow suit."

Wuyin Village, located in the office of the Mizukage Building, as the lost position of the fourth generation of Mizukage, stands in the window of the office, looking at the endless sea in the distance, and seems to be able to faintly hear the chirping of seabirds on the sea.

"Then what are we going to do on our side, Mizukage-sama?"

Terumi, who was standing not far behind him, asked about the next move of the lost position.

In the office, only she and the two of them, Qing and Ghost Lantern Full Moon, who were guards, were not here, and the surrounding darkness was also dissipated, guarding outside.

He didn't speak, but withdrew his gaze from the sea, and instead walked to his desk, where he picked up a sealed file bag with a note that read 'Top Secret'.

I put this file bag in Terumi's hand.

Zhao Meiming opened the file bag without refusing, and half of the file was withdrawn, and the child's hole shrank.

"It's!"

"At that time, the deployment of the troops of the Fog Hidden Village to attack the country of ghosts, as well as the offensive route and defense map of the sea area, including the information of leading the team to the Shinobi, you give this thing to the hands of Chiba Shiraishi. When the time comes, let his side formulate a strategy and send someone to 'eliminate' these Mist Ninjas from the battlefield. ”

Lost said expressionlessly.

As early as half a month ago, Wuyin Village passed a high-level meeting and decided on the final detailed attack plan.

Therefore, this represents top-secret information about the next move of the Fog Hidden Village.

As long as you know this, you can take advantage of the offensive and defensive situation above, and without much effort, the reconnaissance troops in Wuyin Village will suffer heavy losses.

At this, a look of praise flashed in Terumi's eyes.

"It's still Mizukage-sama's thoughtfulness, there is no reason for the undead in war. In this way, we are safe in our actions. ”

"It's a pity that each country has its own set of operational defense maps, and there is no way to get the deployment maps of rock and sand in the hands."

Lost nodded his head, but on the other hand, he also felt sorry.

If you can get the defense map of the two ninja villages of Iwakuin and Shayin, you will definitely be able to deal a huge blow to them, after all, it is normal for ninjas to have more dead ninjas on the battlefield.

As for Konoha's defense map, it has never been a problem for the country of ghosts.

Moreover, the main purpose of this action is not to defeat the Quadruple Alliance, but to resolve the uncertainties of Mt. Myoki, and by the way, to break down the trust between the traditional five powers and buy enough time for the final stage of the plan.
