Chapter 286 The village does not necessarily have only one boss

Although Senju Tobirama didn't want to admit it, the fact that Uchiha Madara was one of Konoha's top combat powers was still before his eyes.

Especially for the task of capturing a tailed beast, apart from Senju Hashirama who possesses the Wood Release, only Uchiha Madara can complete it alone.

In this situation, the Hokage himself will definitely no longer be able to take action personally. The assassination of his eldest brother when he returned from the Kingdom of Wind last time is still vivid in his mind. Every time he thinks of it, Senju Tobijian breaks out in cold sweat.

Therefore, now he must think of a reason to trick Madara Uchiha into leaving the village to look for Kyuubi, and capture him to take care of the home and nursing home.

Thinking of this, Qian Shu Feijian's eyes flashed red, and he seemed to say unintentionally but actually said with intention,

"I didn't expect the power of Nine Tails to be so terrifying. Brother, please don't do such dangerous things again in the future!"

Senju Hashirama, who had just finished lying, was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know why his brother kept mentioning this, but he didn't want to damage Uchiha Madara's self-confidence, so he nodded hurriedly,

"That's natural. Kyuubi is too dangerous!"

Uchiha Madara, who had his ears pricked up at the side, had a more thoughtful look in his eyes. As someone who had been suppressed by Senju Hashirama all his life, he seemed to have found a breakthrough point.

Uchiha Madara couldn't help laughing when he thought of controlling the Nine-Tails to violently beat Hasi's idiot.

"Hehe~"

"Moda, why are you laughing? Is there anything good you can do?"

"Forehead"

Uchiha Madara's face tightened when he was discovered, fearing that his little thoughts would be exposed. At the extremely critical moment, he suddenly glanced at Senju Tobirama, who was smiling teasingly. Then his eyes lit up and he straightened his waist. With a sad face but a smile on his lips, he said,

"Hey~ It's not a good thing, it's that kid Izuna."

"Hmph! Did you get into trouble again? I've told you before that that guy has been a bad guy since he was a kid~"

Senju Tobirama listened half of the words and directly taunted him. His relationship with Uchiha Izuna could be said to be natural enemies. Whenever they met, there would definitely be a verbal exchange.

"Ma Da, don't be angry. If your brother goes astray, just correct him in time. There is no need to hit or scold him."

As soon as the topic of his younger brother came up, Senju Hashirama became more energetic. Many years ago, he and Uchiha Madara had competed on the strength of their respective younger brothers by the river.

The unit of measurement is neither a root nor a bar.

Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna, who have been close to each other for many years, one is more yin than dead water, and the other is in a full diamond body, their records can be said to be evenly matched.

However, after the founding of Konoha, Uchiha Izuna clearly focused on family affairs, and Senju Tobirama took the opportunity to sneak into Konoha's political circles, which was slightly better.

Therefore, Senju Hashirama's expression was a little embittered. After all, his younger brother was better.

"Oh~ Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that Quan Nai has been in love recently. I guess it won't be long before I can be an uncle~"

Uchiha Madara deliberately raised his voice loudly, but kept his eyes fixed on Senju Tobirama who was laughing secretly at the side.

"Nani?"

Qian Shu Tobijian was shocked when he heard this. Even though they were similar in age, the prickly man actually secretly left his single family. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for him?

"Ah! This"

Senju Hashirama, who was still arrogant at first, was immediately speechless, and his proud expression froze on his face. He originally thought he could tease the motor, pull and step on his younger brother, but instead he thought he would become a clown.

After a long while, he squeezed out a sentence:

"That's great, congratulations."

"There's nothing I can do about it. My younger brother is not very good at anything. The only advantage is that it gives me peace of mind. Unlike some people who stay single even at an old age without considering the continuation of the family."

Um. Why does it feel like I am AOEing myself, injuring the enemy by 1,000 and damaging myself by 80,000?

Senshou Tobijian, who felt uncomfortable, put on his usual Sima face and said coldly,

"Don't talk about things that have nothing to do with work during work hours."

Senju Hashirama nodded in agreement, fearing that his younger brother would break his teeth in jealousy.

Seeing Senju Tobirama's stinky face, Uchiha Madara also gave up as soon as he got it. After all, he was a straight-forward ninja who took the fight, and instead of continuing to deal with the yin and yang, he continued to deal with the pile of documents with his head down.

For a moment, the quiet office was filled with the sound of rustling pages.

After a long time, Uchiha Madara suddenly raised his head, looked at Senju Hashirama on the Hokage's throne, frowned and asked,

"Haxi hot mom, if we don't help you, when will you be able to finish a day's work?"

When Uchiha Madara was processing the documents just now, he discovered that the government affairs submitted were overwhelming. The first one was a report about the task achievement rate, and the next one was an application form requesting the village to distribute breeding pigs. It was too out-of-the-box. The content almost made his brain shut down.

This situation happens all the time, so Uchiha Madara has this question.

The classification of government affairs is unclear and the priorities are not distinguished, which obviously reduces the efficiency of the Hokage's work.

"Without your help, I would have finished less than a third of the way."

Senju Hashirama scratched his head when asked. He actually discovered this problem, but there were too many documents submitted every day, and there was no time to sort them. And as Hokage, he must pay attention to detail, even if it is Murakami Shu He has to think over and over again before making a decision.

"If you have time to discuss this kind of issue here, why not seize the time and get to work."

Senju Tobirama, who had long been accustomed to this rhythm, raised his head with an unpredictable look. As the fastest person in Konoha, he handled government affairs faster than Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara combined.

And he had a solution to this problem, but it was not yet perfected.

"I don't think it can go on like this. For example, this plan for border defense deployment must be one of Konoha's most confidential intelligence. If it is mixed with the task list of the Genin, if there is an omission, it will cause a disaster."

Uchiha Madara has always been concerned about Konoha. He doesn't want this village, which was founded by himself and Senju Hashirama, to be harmed.

"How can there be so many omissions."

Even if Uchiha Madara said it, Senju Tobirama still refuted with a cold face. The other party had laughed at him for being a single dog before, and he would remember this hatred for the rest of his life.

"You!"

I didn't expect that Senju Tobirama would not appreciate his kindness, but instead had an expression that said you have too much trouble, which made Uchiha Madara's fist itchy.

"Okay, Tobirama, what Madara said makes sense!"

It was another daily fight. Hashirama Senju stood up helplessly to smooth things over. Then he looked at the angry Uchiha Madara and said with some embarrassment,

"Madara, I understand what you mean, but now all matters, big and small, whether it is civil affairs or military affairs, need my review. This is the responsibility of the Hokage~"

Hashirama Senju knew that Uchiha Madara was worried that he was overtraining, and he was very moved, but for the time being he had not thought of a better solution.

"Alas~Hashi hot mom, you are just too responsible, this will be very tiring."

For Senju Hashirama's explanation, Uchiha Madara could only shake his head and sigh,

"Brother, I have thought of a solution, but it has not been detailed yet. I will present it to you after it is perfected in a while."

Seeing his elder brother and Uchiha Madara flirting with each other, Senju Tobirama was immediately furious, and then stood up and said,

"Bang Bang Bang~"

Just then, a familiar knock on the door sounded, and the three people present raised their eyebrows, feeling that the visitor was not friendly.

"Please come in~"

Senju Hashirama said loudly.

"Squeak~"

I saw a curly-haired Uchiha Gin with a very unhappy expression coming out of the crack in the door~

"Isn't this Brother Gin? What wind brought you here~"

Seeing that the visitor was Uchiha Gin, Senju Hashirama hurried down and greeted him very enthusiastically.

"Hmph~"

Uchiha Gin was very angry. Obviously, the development of Konoha has been on the right track. The news of the completion of Konoha Prison reached his ears a few days ago. The ecstatic curly-haired man waited at home for several days, but he didn't see the shadow of the letter of appointment, and even didn't receive a text message of joining the company.

At first, he thought that Hashirama was too busy to remember, but as many of his old colleagues returned to work, his heart sank day by day. Finally, after hearing that the first batch of criminals had been settled in Konoha Prison, Uchiha Gin was completely crazy.

Early this morning, Uchiha Gin rushed to the Hokage Building angrily, vowing to ask for an explanation for himself. He had done a lot for Konoha before, but how could he not even get a job as a prison guard.

Today, he will find Senju Hashirama to ask him face to face whether it was intentional or accidental.

Along the way, the guards of the Hokage Building, seeing Uchiha Gin with a very bad face, hid far away, and did not dare to approach him as usual, for fear of getting into trouble.

"Big cousin, I have rested well and can go to work!"

Thinking that Uchiha Gin with a bad face was here to take him home to rest, Uchiha Madara quickly stood up and explained,

"It has nothing to do with you. If you love to go to work, you will work for the rest of your life."

Uchiha Gin ignored his anxious cousin, but instead set his eyes on the innocent-looking Senju brothers, gritting his teeth and accusing,

"Konoha Prison has been repaired!"

"Yeah, I went to cut the ribbon a few days ago."

Not understanding what Uchiha Gin meant, Senju Hashirama nodded subconsciously and replied,

"Okay, okay, I thought you didn't know about this."

Uchiha Gin laughed out of anger, staring at Senju Hashirama with his black dead fish eyes, with flames faintly gushing out of them.

"Huh?"

"Where's your promise?"

"Ah!"

After being reminded by Uchiha Gin, Hashirama Senju finally woke up from his dream. He had indeed promised Uchiha Gin that he would arrange for him to work in the prison.

However, since Uchiha Gin had made outstanding contributions to the issue of the tailed beasts, Hashirama Senju had not thought of how to reward him for a long time. If he rashly arranged him to be a jailer in the prison, wouldn't it make people who didn't know the truth think that he, the Hokage, was taking credit for the work and slandering the loyal people.

"Brother Gin, don't be anxious."

Thinking of this, Hashirama Senju comforted him repeatedly.

"Urgent, urgent, how can I not be anxious!"

It has been too peaceful recently, and I can't find anyone to fight with. Those guys in the Ninja Alliance saw that they were all in a friendly manner and couldn't activate the steel of heart at all. Moreover, Uchiha Gin now has a Konoha forehead protector in his pocket. He can't bully civilians, right?

One day less of work means one less opportunity to brush up. Uchiha Gin feels that he has lost everything.

"You curly-haired guy, I've been too busy lately. I don't have time to take care of your trivial matters."

Seeing that Uchiha Gin was so disrespectful to his elder brother, Senju Tobirama spoke up and gave him an explanation.

"Busy? You guys are working like this, how can you not be busy!"

Sure enough, these guys had completely forgotten what they had promised themselves. Uchiha Gin was so angry that he almost opened his eyes. With a golden wheel reincarnation blast, he taught Shirogane how to behave. He looked at the mountains of documents on the table of the three of them and ridiculed them with disdain. road,

"Oh? You mean there's something wrong with the way we work?"

After hearing Uchiha Gin's words, Senju Tobirama rarely responded, but instead asked with interest,

"Isn't this obvious?"

Uchiha Gin didn't show off, walked forward, picked up a document on the table, and when he saw the file name on it, he immediately rolled his eyes, waved the document in his hand, and said in a weird tone,

"You said you, a Hokage, are responsible for the breeding of sows?"

"Well, this is also a people's livelihood issue, isn't it?"

Senju Hashirama scratched his head in embarrassment. He had already approved many documents like this. Considering the importance of the matter, there was really no need for him, the Hokage, to handle it.

"He's not very smart, why do you follow the madman and show off?"

Ignoring the embarrassed Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Gin focused his attention on Senju Tobirama, who was standing beside him with his arms folded on his chest. This white-haired man was usually full of tricks, but he was becoming more and more stupid when doing things. .

"I already have a solution."

Being shocked by the Uchiha Ginqi, Senju Tobirama immediately retorted,

"Oh? Then tell me your solution."

Give this white-haired guy a chance and listen to what he has to say.

"Huh~ I'm going to set up a group of elders under the Hokage to refine the responsibilities and decentralize the management of various things."

Good guy, it turns out that your boy created the Council of Elders just to assign work to those evil disciples of yours, right?

As soon as he heard the word "elder", Uchiha Gin's head was buzzing. The reputation of Konoha F4 was so terrifying.

"Stop it! I just want to ask, do you have any elders in the Thousand Hands clan?"

Uchiha Gin started at zero frame, interrupting Senju Tobirama's conversation.

"Well, of course there is."

As long as it is a larger family, there will be more or less elders. Senju Tobirama answered without knowing why,

"Then what kind of existence do you think the elder is?"

This question made Qianju Tobijian a little dumbfounded. He subconsciously thought about his elders and found that those guys would pop out to make their presence felt when they had something to do. Usually, relying on their seniority and reputation, they would point fingers at the clan leader.

When Senju Hashirama had just succeeded to the position of clan leader, he had been subjected to a lot of harsh treatment from the elders. It was because of the age of those elders that the two brothers endured it. Looking back now, Senju Hashirama's The joints of my fingers were itching.

"Hmph~ Isn't it annoying? Not only can't you help me, but you always cause trouble. When I should take action, I say you are too aggressive, and when I am about to stop, I say you are too cautious. I have to fight against you in everything anyway, right?"

Uchiha Gin's words spoke to Senju Tobirama's innermost feelings. The elders he met were all like this, and they did one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. .

"That's still an elder in a family with the same bloodline. If someone unrelated to him were to serve as an elder, you wouldn't even know that the Hokage's position has been sold."

"Indeed, I was negligent."

After Uchiha Gin's words, Senju Tobirama rarely argued, but instead lowered his head to think about the possibility of the matter.

There is some truth in what Curly said. Although the elder system can share the Hokage's work, over time, it will inevitably breed dissent. When it accumulates to a certain extent, the elders are likely to break away from the Hokage's control and evade the Hokage's rights.

"In that case, do you have any good ideas?"

Seeing that what Uchiha Gin said was clear and logical, Senju Tobirama decided not to be ashamed and asked this curly for advice.

"ha?"

Uchiha Gin, who was just getting high with his mouth, looked at Senju Tobirama with a slightly respectful look on his face and couldn't help but scratch his curly hair. He is a king of strong mouth~

"Cousin, if you really have any good ideas, please share them!"

Uchiha Madara on the side saw Uchiha Gin's strange expression and thought that his eldest cousin was unwilling to answer because he didn't like Senju Tobirama. He cared about Konoha and hurriedly tried to persuade him,

"Yes, Brother Yin, please help~"

Senju Hashirama also joined in, hoping that Uchiha Gin could help him solve the problem. After all, the Three Stooges were better than Zhuge Liang, and maybe his method could help him solve the problem at hand.

"Forehead"

Being stared at by three pairs of expectant eyes, Uchiha Gin felt a little bit stuck. Just when he hesitated, Senju Tobirama said slowly,

"If your method is helpful, the warrant for Konoha Prison will be issued today."

"It's included!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Gin felt as if he had been given a shot of blood, and his brain was running rapidly. Even if it was for the position of jailer, he had to find a plan for these guys.

"."

As a result, Uchiha Gin began to pace back and forth in the office, his eyes rolling on the faces of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and stopped immediately.

"I have a plan, I don't know whether to tell it or not."

Uchiha Gin, who already had a plan in mind, looked at the three people in front of him and said slowly,

"Brother Yin, don't be burdened, just speak freely."

Senju Hashirama nodded and reassured Uchiha Gin,

"Then I'll tell you~"

"Stop whining, you're still not a man!"

Qianju Tobijian, who was waiting a little impatiently, couldn't help cursing,

"Hmph! Of course, someone knows whether I am a man or not~"

"You!" Bai Mao burst out.

"Okay, cousin, stop being so pretentious."

"Ahem. Is there only the Hokage in the top management of Konoha now, and the only ones who come down are you two unjustified Hokage candidates?"

Not having the same experience as Bai Mao for the time being, Uchiha Gin looked at the three of them, coughed twice and asked,

"Indeed." Senju Hashirama nodded.

Tobirama and Madara are both voluntary helpers. The so-called Hokage candidate is just a verbal title given by a few of them. They do not have any real power in Konoha. They are just for the convenience of helping the Hokage work.

"Actually, there's no rule that a village can only have one leader, right?"

"hehe."

I thought Uchiha Gin would have some great ideas, but unexpectedly squeezed out a big lump. Senju Tobirama's face was filled with disappointment.

"Tobirama, let Brother Yin finish speaking first. Brother Yin, please continue."

"As the leader of Konoha, Naruto should be regarded as the village chief, right?"

"That's right." The three of them nodded in unison.

"Although the affairs of the village are complicated, if they are divided according to type, there are actually only two points."

Looking at the documents piled up in the office, Uchiha Gin stretched out two fingers.

"Civil Livelihood and Military."

The three Senju Hashirama looked at each other, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"The people's livelihood mainly concerns issues related to the development of Konoha and ninja ideological education, while the military is responsible for internal security and stability and external war games."

"No matter how much energy the Hokage has, he can't take full charge of all issues, so my idea is that we just need to set up another position besides the Hokage to take charge of one of the people's livelihood or the military."

"Such a decentralization of power will lead to factional conflicts, which will only lead to more chaos."

Qianju Feijian could see the shortcomings at a glance, and immediately shook his head and said in denial,

"If according to what you said, one side is in charge of people's livelihood development, and the other side is in charge of military security, then the side in charge of military affairs must be more powerful. As long as he gives the order, Konoha will be in his pocket."

"Don't be so pessimistic. People's Livelihood is the party that controls the financial power and the material basis of ninja life. As long as the task entrustment business is still on People's Livelihood's side, the military side will never be able to make any trouble unless all the people rebel against Ninja."

Indeed, obtaining rewards through task delegation has been the main way for ninjas to survive since ancient times. As long as the people's livelihood controls the channels and rights to issue tasks, then the ninjas on the military side will not have second thoughts.

Unless you have endless wealth and the strength to stand out from the crowd, being a traitor is not that easy~

"Moreover, as the party in charge of people's livelihood, we can implement an elite selection system and form an army of our own, let's call it Anbu, to deal with certain emergencies."

The Royal Forest Army is here, who dares to make a mistake~

"Although this provides protection, if there is always a gap between the two parties, it will not be conducive to the development of the village!"

Qianshou Feijian, who was feeling a little moved, still felt that something was wrong.

"As long as we optimize the allocation of resources and rationally allocate resources to people's livelihood and the military to achieve the best effectiveness of both, we can promote the transformation of the relationship between the military and people's livelihood from a zero-sum game to a harmonious symbiosis."

Uchiha Gin nodded when he heard the words, and then put two fingers together, the meaning expressed was obvious.

"Well, it seems to make some sense, so do you think the Hokage should be in charge of military affairs or people's livelihood?"

After listening to Uchiha Gin's explanation, Senju Tobirama asked his own questions after thinking about it,

"This depends on the character and skills of the Hokage. If the Hokage is generous and kind, then he must be better at managing people's livelihood. But if the Hokage is a decisive and decisive person, then the military is his happy home."

"I think I can take care of people's livelihood~"

Senju Hashirama, who had been listening for a long time, quickly stood up with a smile and introduced himself, saying that after all, he didn't like war.

"Shut up! Sit down first and wait until I finish asking!"

Senju Tobirama angrily slapped his eldest brother on the head and taught him a lesson, then turned to look at Uchiha Gin and asked aloud,

"So, besides Hokage, what is the name of the other position?"

"How about the village party secretary?" (End of chapter)
