Chapter 131: Watergate Reform, the Future of Konoha
"this……"
"Clan Chief Fugaku, your proposal is too radical..."
Jiraiya touched his forehead, feeling that he still underestimated these powerful clan leaders.
"Radical?"
Fugaku didn't realize it. Compared with Konoha F4's previous methods, how radical was he?
Minato shook his head and rejected:
"Still not working."
"Although they are root ninjas, they are also Konoha ninjas. They have just come off the battlefield. They have all fought against Kumogakure Village desperately. They can be regarded as heroes in the war."
"Don't act rashly."
It was precisely because of this concern that Minato did not take action directly to arrest these root ninjas.
It is indeed too much to kill the donkey just after the war.
If you really do this, what's the difference between you and the original Danzo and the others?
That was not the Konoha Minato expected.
"That would be difficult..."
"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let Danzo leave so quickly. I should have used him to disband and calm his roots before leaving..."
Jiraiya frowned, feeling regretful.
"The timing doesn't match up. When I come back, it won't make sense for him to defect again."
Just like Kumogakure, there are almost no rebellious ninjas.
Because all the rebel ninjas were killed by Raikage of all generations who were strong enough and fast enough.
Can Danzo escape from Konoha in front of Minato?
Do you think Sunagakure believes it?
See this.
Xia You was too lazy to hesitate and said directly.
"Send out the wanted warrant."
"Perform a complete performance. If you don't show it, everyone in Sunagakure Village will be suspicious."
"In addition, here is Danzo's scroll of the forbidden technique "The Seal of the Tongue's Bane". Minato, if you learn it, you will probably be able to unlock the root ninjas who have been imprinted with the seal."
"As for what to do with them?"
"Let Fugaku and the Yamanaka clan check their spirits first. Those who are not seriously brainwashed can be left to be slowly corrected, and they will all be incorporated into your ANBU, Minato."
"Those who have been brainwashed too seriously should be sent to Orochimaru. He happens to be short of experimental materials, and he knows how to use caution and will not kill them directly."
Xia You was obviously prepared.
For the sake of the 20 years of peace after reunification, he will not ignore these potential risks.
This was one of the reasons why he came to Ninja World No. 4 specifically.
Minato took the scroll and pondered for a moment.
Although I can't cover everything, I feel that this is indeed the best way. Besides, being hesitant is a taboo of being a Hokage.
In terms of decisiveness, Minato was far superior to Sarutobi.
"Okay! Fugaku, those root ninjas will trouble you."
"Yes! Leave this to me!"
"With our Uchiha's genjutsu and the Yamanaka clan's mind-reading skills, we can basically identify the remaining diehards in the root."
"I will contact the mountain clan immediately."
Fugaku immediately made his decision and immediately got up to take action, preparing to contact the Yamanaka clan.
I believe that the mountain clan will readily agree.
They were simmering with anger. If they couldn't vent it on Danzo, couldn't they vent it on those root minions?
"Eh? Fugaku, are you leaving now? Don't you want to eat before leaving?"
Kushina walked out of the kitchen with dinner and looked at Fugaku who hurried away and said with caution.
"Don't eat anymore, business is more important!"
Fugaku activated the teleportation technique and disappeared instantly. It seems that she still has lingering fears about Kushina's former cooking skills.
…
"Sir, do you think Danzo can succeed?"
Minato turned to ask Xia Yu, he still felt that sending only one Danzo to the undercover Sunagakure Village was a bit too childish.
"Even if he fails, what impact will it have?"
"After all, he was once a high-ranking official in Konoha and has mastered a lot of confidential information. If he is tortured by Sunagakure captives..."
"It's okay. I made a copy of this "Seal for the Eradication of Tongue Bane" for Tobirama. I'll let him learn from it later and plant one for Danzo too."
"Ah? This..."
Minato was stunned, is there such an operation?
Use the powerful secrecy spell developed by Danzo to restrain itself?
this……
It does seem to be a good idea!
At least you don’t have to worry about Danzo’s secrets being leaked after being exposed…
As for the rest, even if Danzo died in Sunagakure Village, it would have little impact on Konoha.
Even in a sense, it's a good thing and saves Konoha from having to do it himself.
"alright."
"Talk about something really big."
"Minato, you are now the powerful Hokage. How are you going to govern Konoha next?"
Xia You asked bluntly, also wanting to refer to the water gate management blueprint.
Minato was a little more serious, a little nervous about facing the exam at the Ninja Academy.
After organizing his words, he said seriously:
"I plan to start from two aspects in the next period of time."
"They are: education and the economy."
"In terms of education: I plan to completely reform the Ninja Academy and implement ladder-level education, from beginners to middle schools to high schools, gradually deepening the difficulty of Ninjutsu teaching. And fully open all Ninjutsu except forbidden Jutsu, including all families as much as possible. The secret technique allows ninja students to have more comprehensive exposure to ninjutsu and find the ninjutsu and type that suits them."
"Economically: I think what Teacher Tobirama said is right. Ninja Village relies too much on the economic support of big countries. Ninjas are not engaged in production, and the way to make money is to take on tasks and earn commissions. This is too one-sided and too fragile. How much can you earn? , relying solely on charity from big countries cannot raise the upper limit of the village. Trying to strip the village of its dependence on big countries is what I want to do, but I am still planning on how to implement it..."
Minato was talking eloquently, and it was obvious that he had been thinking about it for a long time.
Previously, I suffered from being robbed of power by Sandai and others, and did not have enough power to implement these.
Now that we have truly gained power, we can naturally let go of our hands and do great things.
To know.
A Rasengan can be developed by looking at the tailed beast jade.
Easily learn and improve the forbidden technique Flying Thunder God.
He was even able to sit on the position of Hokage as a civilian, without ever having any conflicts with any high-ranking Konoha officials or clans.
Minato is not smart enough and has no political acumen, so how can he do it?
To this.
Xia You was very satisfied, despite the limitations of the times.
But it is very commendable that Watergate can think of and prepare to implement these policies.
Educational reform: It can directly affect the overall quality and combat effectiveness of future Konoha ninjas.
Economic reform: It can make Konoha independent from the economic constraints of the Fire Country and truly have sovereignty.
As long as these two things are done well.
The entire Konoha will definitely take on a new look, laying the solid foundation for unifying the ninja world in the future.
As for other more detailed reforms, there is no rush, and there is no need to copy them all from later generations.
This is the Naruto world after all, not reality.
Copying them all may not be a good thing, and it may even have the opposite effect.
Do these two things well first, and then it’s not too late to figure them out later.
but……
"Great idea."
"However, your reforms will touch the interests of many people."
"In terms of education, making most of the ninjutsu public, it is easy to break the monopoly of the ninja clan. Especially many ninja clans who rely on the inheritance of family secrets. In a sense, you are digging their foundation!"
"As for the tendency of economic independence, once the Fire Nation notices it, they will launch the most ferocious counterattack. After all, if a vicious dog raised by oneself can one day find food on its own, do you think the dog owner will? Are you going crazy?"
Xia You pointed out the core contradiction and hoped that Minato would realize these problems.
"I know!"
“It’s definitely going to be a tough road, but I want to give it a try!”
"If nothing is done, Konoha will probably not be any different from now in a few decades."
"I want to change the village and make it a better place."
"Instead of letting generations of families and Hokage rule Konoha in the old-fashioned way!"
This is the biggest difference between Minato, who was born a commoner, and others.
He can understand the hardships of the lower-level ninjas and is willing to try his best to change everything.
What's more, he doesn't have a family behind him, and he won't favor the Sarutobi clan to the extreme like the third generation...
Moreover, Minato was also mentally prepared.
If someone really hinders me.
Minato doesn't mind letting his family experience what the real [yellow flash] is!
Before the balls hit the body, there are always people who think that their mouths are harder than kunai!
