Chapter 342: Sarutobi has his eyes on the lucrative job at the cram school?

Unfortunately, Ōnoki had no intention of paying any more attention to these people.

Not to mention helping them or offering them protection, they don't even want to see them anymore.

Provide protection?

Yes, as long as you don't leave the Iwagakure, your safety is guaranteed.

But you can only stay where you live and cannot run around, otherwise it will cause misunderstandings and it will be bad for everyone.

If you can't stand it, you can just leave.

As for other protections, I’m sorry, the village’s capabilities are limited and we can’t help you.

At this time, the people of Kusagakure realized that they had fallen into a pit.

It's still a pit that's so deep that you can't even climb out.

Is it too late for us to regret now?

Not to mention the miserable situation of the representative of Kusagakure Village, what happened in Iwagakure was sent to Konoha by Ninja Eagle through the scroll, and the scroll was successfully delivered to Tsunade's hands.

"Boom boom boom!"

Before Tsunade could open the scroll, she was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Then he put down the scroll in his hand and shouted:

"come in."

The door opened and Tsunade couldn't help but frown as she took a look at the person who walked into the office.

Because every time someone comes to the Hokage's office, it means something bad is going to happen.

The person who came was the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage is living at home in retirement. He is the type of person who won't visit Tsunade unless there is something important.

But whenever he comes, it means something important is about to happen.

"Old man, do you have something to ask me?"

Tsunade asked tentatively.

"Ahem, there is something I want to talk to you about."

The Third Hokage coughed and took the pipe out of his mouth, closed the office door, and sat in a chair not far from the desk.

You talk, I listen.

I hope it's not something that embarrasses me.

If possible, Tsunade really hopes that the Third Hokage will only chat with her and reminisce about the past when he has nothing to do or is bored.

Instead of not visiting the temple for no reason.

Rest at home when you have nothing to do, and come to the Hokage's office only when you have something to do.

It would be fine once or twice, but after it happened so many times, Tsunade developed a conditioned reflex.

When I saw the Third Hokage coming to the Hokage's office, I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

Knowing that Tsunade didn't like beating around the bush, the Third Hokage also said frankly:

"I came to you this time mainly for some arrangements of ninjas of the family."

The punishment of the Sarutobi clan had already ended, and Tsunade was magnanimous enough not to continue targeting them. However, it was impossible for the Sarutobi clan to still want good welfare and treatment.

The kind of treatment that was available in the past, where one could get a lot of subsidies and have a job arranged for him/her, will never happen again.

Tsunade will no longer give any extra benefits to the Sarutobi clan, but the Sarutobi clan is expanding too fast and the number of ninjas far exceeds what the family can support.

There are no more high welfare subsidies and benefits.

Problems will gradually arise in the lives of so many family ninjas.

In order to solve these problems, the Third Hokage was really worried.

Although the several families that followed Sarutobi are not having an easy time now.

But there are not too many ninjas in these families, unlike the Sarutobi clan, where one family can form a large army of ninjas.

This is a bit scary.

Are you here to ask for benefits for the ninjas in your family?

Knowing the purpose of the Third Hokage's visit, Tsunade did not make any promises or statements:

"Old man, please tell me first. If I can arrange it, I will do my best to solve it. If it is beyond my ability, then I can only say sorry to you."

There are too many ninjas in Konoha, and it is impossible to give all the benefits to your Sarutobi clan.

Even if you have been very obedient.

But there are too many of you ninjas, and the village can’t take care of you all.

The Sandaime Hokage, who is now retired and enjoying his retirement at home, has come to talk to Tsunade about the survival of his family's ninjas. This is not the first time.

After so many times, the Third Hokage couldn't hold his face anymore.

But he had to come.

For such a big family, he, as the stabilizing force, needs to stabilize the family as much as possible, keep the family running, and constantly enhance its foundation.

The development policy of the Sarutobi clan of the previous three generations of Hokage was to continuously increase the number of clan members. As the number increased, the base of ninjas would increase.

If there are people who can be trained, then work hard to train them and strive to train more ninjas for the family.

The result of doing this is that the family has almost no foundation and is only focused on expanding the scale of the ninja.

It's typical that they only care about the military and not the people's livelihood.

It would be fine if there was no problem, but if there was a problem, there would be no room for robbing Peter to pay Paul.

"I heard that there are some vacancies for teachers in the cram school..."

Some teachers began to become greedy and started to reach out to things they shouldn't touch.

So Yan fired a group of teachers after selection.

But before I could make up for it, I went to the Iwagakure.

So the Third Hokage took a fancy to these lucrative jobs.

"......"

As soon as you come, something bad will happen!

Tsunade rolled her eyes right in front of the Third Hokage and expressed her inner emotions without hesitation.

She wanted to tell the Third Hokage clearly that your proposal left me speechless and it was difficult for me to do it.

"Old man, I remember you once opposed the expansion of cram schools because you said that the existence of cram schools would affect the teaching of ninja schools and the fairness of children's learning."

It was you who opposed it before, but now that you see there is a position, and it’s a lucrative one, you come to me and try to squeeze someone in.

"Ahem, my previous views on cram schools were somewhat ill-considered. I was worried that the existence of cram schools would affect the teaching of ninja schools."

Once words are spoken, they cannot be unspoken. Thinking back on it now, my face hurts.

Even though the Third Hokage was thick-skinned, his face still turned red because of the embarrassment.

Ha~~

I didn't expect that you, old man, would have to lower your proud head for the development of your family?

Tsunade really didn't know what to say.

"Old man, I'll tell you the truth. Yan has always been in charge of the cram school. Although I have the right to designate the teacher, I can't do this."

"Tsunade, this old man......"

The Third Hokage became anxious when he heard this, because the family was still waiting for his reply.

If I try to save face by showing up, and end up getting nothing, it would only be more embarrassing.

Not only is it embarrassing, but I can't even explain it to my tribe members.

Tsunade didn't want to listen to the Third Hokage's nonsense, so she interrupted him and said bluntly:

“I can’t appoint directly, otherwise it would be a sign of distrust and disrespect for Yan. This matter can only be handled after Yan returns, but I can help with the nomination.

As long as the Sarutobi clan has the right person, I can ensure that they will not be treated differently and will run for election with the others."

"That's my biggest concession."

Just stuff people in?

It's impossible and can't be done.
