Echizen Yan, who was reading the novel, heard a knock on the door, and hurriedly stuffed it into the cabinet, and said calmly, "Please come in." ”

The person who came in was a Konoha ninja with an unremarkable appearance and wearing a ninja vest.

To Echizen's surprise, this ninja, who was at least a mid-ninja, had deep dark circles under his eyes, and looked like he might die of overwork at any moment.

"Hokage-sama...... I'm here to submit the task. ”

The emaciated ninja was shocked by the sight of his eyes as he walked into the Hokage's office.

As far as the eye can see, all of them are shadow clones!

Echizen Yan, who was sitting at the desk, was puzzled, and secretly said in his heart, "Who is this guy, has he ever come to my side to take the task?" ”

Echizen Yan, who handed over all the work to the shadow clone, naturally didn't know who the person in front of him was.

Fortunately, at this time, the shadow clone who was in charge of the task beckoned to the ninja, "Come over here." ”

Within a few minutes, the handover of the task was complete.

Looking at the ninja's haggard face and crumbling back, Echizen Flame turned his head and asked the shadow clone curiously, "Is that guy Moonlight Blizzle's father?" ”

In Echizen Yan's impression, it seems that the only one who can match the good sick seedlings in Konoha Ninja is Moonlight Blast. Now that Moonlight Blast is still young, the man who just appeared is likely to be Moonlight Blizzle's father.

The shadow clone shook his head and smiled slightly, "Of course not, Wind's father has died of illness a long time ago." This is another shinobi in the village. ”

Echizen Yanjun raised his eyebrows slightly, and said rarely, "The other shinobi in the village? Could it be that Moonlight Blast's father's head is green? ”

Echizen Yan, whose thinking was limited, subconsciously thought that the sick posture must have been caused by congenitality, so it was judged that his father was cuckolded.

The shadow clone grinned and said with a smile, "You've been busy reading novels these days, and you definitely don't know the cause and effect of the matter, just listen to me." ”

Konoha's economic resources, in addition to the daimyo's appropriation, are also the ninja's remuneration when they do tasks.

During the ninja war, most of the ninjas had to go to the battlefield, so there were not enough people to complete the tasks taken by the village, and after a few years, a large number of tasks were accumulated that had not been done.

In the third ninja war, Konoha has been at war with the other four major ninja villages, and there have been many crises.

The first is the fiscal crisis.

The war is over, but Konoha, who is the victor, does not ask the defeated for war reparations, and the daimyo's appropriation has long been used up, and Konoha, who has invested a lot of financial resources in the war and has to give a huge pension to the family of the deceased, has a dilemma of running out of money.

If there is no money in the ninja village, you have to do tasks to make money, which leads to the second crisis - the ninja number crisis.

Konoha's loss in terms of ninjas is the most of the five ninja villages.

After seeing that the ninja school students who have not finished their studies have been sent to the battlefield, they should know that the number of ninjas in Konoha is really not enough.

At least in Echizen Yan's impression, almost all of the classmates who graduated with him had died on the battlefield.

The scarcity of ninjas leads to the fact that the accumulated tasks cannot be completed at all.

Even if all the ninjas in the village were dispatched to work 24 hours a day, it would be useless.

"It's because of good fortune." Echizen Yan nodded thoughtfully, and after hearing the situation explained by the shadow clone, he understood how serious the shortage of people in the village was.

Even Shangnin, it's already a little unbearable.

"Do you want to graduate the students of the village early?" Echizen Flame proposes a solution.

The shadow clone shook his head and vetoed, "That can only solve the lowest-level D-class mission, and then the B-class, A-class, and S-class, what should I do?" This is not something that ninja school students can solve. ”

Echizen Yan pursed his lips, "Then what should I do?" Can only leave them alone? However, in this case, the commission fee will be greatly reduced due to the overtime completion of the task. ”

The shadow clone smiled, "If it's the third generation, you may be helpless." But alas, now we're the Hokage. ”

After being reminded by the shadow clone, Echizen Yan realized that he was a plug-in person.

He can completely refer to Naruto in Boruto's biography and use the shadow clone to complete the mission.

Because Echizen Flame's shadow clone has undergone a system upgrade, you can choose whether to transfer memories back to the main body.

This avoids the powerful side effects of multiple shadow clones.

"As the Hokage, our salary is actually not high, and a month's salary is not as good as the village's A-level mission." The shadow clone sorted out a half-meter-high task list and said, "This is the best time for us to make money for our children's milk powder." ”

Because of the small number of ninjas in the village, in order to fulfill the commission, the Hokage decided to go down himself.

This is a reasonable reason.

"Alas, for the sake of the future of the village, what can I count as Hokage suffering a little?" A happy expression appeared on Echizen's face.

When the shadow clone saw it, his face was full of disdain, as if he would do the task himself.

Echizen took the half-meter-tall to-do list and walked outside the Hokage building.

This move quickly attracted the attention of the rest of the village.

Residents walked out of their houses one after another, looking curiously at the Hokage standing at the building, discussing gossip with each other.

"What is Hokage-sama standing there for?"

"I guess it's to look at the scenery of Konoha and that's been the case for three generations."

"But I saw Hokage-sama with a tall pile of paper in his hand, what was that for?"

"I don't know."

The villagers speculated that Echizen Flame suddenly came to the top of the Hokage building to take a good look at the village under his rule.

It's just that the villagers don't understand what the half-meter-high white paper that Echizen Yan is holding in his hand can really write.

Even the ninjas were interested, jumping onto the rooftops and looking at them curiously.

With higher eyesight, standing at a higher angle, they vaguely saw the content of the task.

"Hokage-sama, why do you take so many tasks?"

The ninjas couldn't help but wonder.

Echizen Flame ignored the feelings of the others and casually threw out the task he was holding.

The civilians didn't care, thinking it was just plain blank paper. The ninjas were so frightened that their hearts were pounding, what happened to Hokage-sama that he threw away his precious mission?

Could it be that the village has accumulated too many tasks to the point where it has to give up?

The ninjas who have been working at high intensity for the past few days saw this scene and guessed.

They understand how serious the shortage of people in the village is, and no matter how hard they work, they will not be able to complete the tasks accumulated over the years.

Did Hokage-sama do this because he wanted to give up these tasks completely?

Just when the ninja thought he knew the answer, he found that countless figures similar to Echizen Flame suddenly appeared in the Hokage Building, jumped into the air, and caught the task fluttering in the wind.

The villager raised his head, and there were countless black shadows in front of him, and he collected the task paper floating in the air in his hand.

Seeing this, the ninjas realized the true purpose of Echizen Flame.

It turned out that Hokage-sama didn't want to give up the mission, but chose to complete these tasks himself so that the village could get out of the predicament as soon as possible.

He even didn't hesitate to use the shadow clone technique that was used so much!
