Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 227: It must be the Third Generation's conspiracy!

Hiruzen Sarutobi maintained his gentle smile, but his eyes were filled with coldness as he swept his gaze toward the person who had interrupted him.

I can't wait!

Who's getting impatient, or do they think I'm too old to lift a knife anymore?

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat suppressed, his reputation was damaged due to the war.

Even if some improvements were made just now, it doesn't mean the legacy issues have been completely resolved.

But he remains the greatest legal authority in Konoha Village—the Hokage!

The rivalry between the Hokage and the Senju, Uchiha, Hatake, and Orochimaru.

What kind of Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to meddle?

He saw a young man with light blue hair and a gentle smile stand up.

Kato Dan!

Kato family?

Hiruzen Sarutobi remembered this lucky little family.

The Kato family was not a ninja clan that joined Konoha during the village's founding period.

Instead, they were small, newly established families after the founding of Konoha.

To be precise, the clan was developed by a single ninja.

A ninja named Kato, by chance, mastered a forbidden technique developed by the Second Hokage.

The art of the soul—the art of spiritualization.

Thanks to the unique characteristics of the Spirit Transformation Technique, it possesses unique mechanisms in reconnaissance, perception, and attack, providing considerable convenience to the village and achieving several great feats, thus earning the trust and favor of the second and third generations.

The Kato family gradually gained a foothold in Konoha, bearing the standard mark of the Hokage.

The chill in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes intensified.

The Kato family has always stood firmly by the Hokage's side; are they planning to 'switch sides' today?

Was this done by Kato Dan, or was it the intention of the entire family?

The atmosphere in the meeting room became extremely strange.

The leaders of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Aburame, and Hyuga clans looked at each other, completely bewildered.

An ordinary Jonin who sided with the Hokage openly opposed the Hokage's words.

What political signal was sent?

We can't just genuinely support Tsunade's decision and think the medical system reform is the right thing to do because of this Jonin, can we?

Is not this nonsensical?

Putting aside the fact that any reform sounds perfectly correct before it is implemented.

With Tsunade's medical skills combined with the police chief's cunning, creating a medical team for the ninja academy would be no problem at all.

The medical system, within Konoha, is not a vulnerable group.

Do you think we need an ordinary Jonin like you to step forward and support us?

Nara Shikashin chewed on his thumbnail with a 'crunching' sound, his gaze shifting back and forth between Tsunade, Yuuki, and Kato Dan.

Information about Kato Dan flashed through his mind.

As the former leader of the Jonin class, Nara Shikashin recognizes Kato Dan.

Two little figures were locked in a fierce battle in my mind.

Does Tsunade really intend to forcefully implement the medical reforms at the ninja academy?

He was a Jonin who had mastered forbidden techniques, but he hadn't achieved much.

Their status is neither high nor low.

It is suitable as a 'buffer zone' between the Hokage and Tsunade, and is specifically used for charging into battle.

However, this runs counter to the agreed-upon future strategies.

With hospitals, medical associations, and pharmaceuticals integrated, Konoha Medical's development has not yet reached its peak.

There's no need to take a huge bite of the benefits from the Ninja Academy; a little is enough.

As long as Senju leads the allied clans to develop step by step, there is no need to waste energy on reforming the ninja academy.

Moreover, there's no reason why Tsunade wouldn't tell him about changing her development strategy.

Could it be the intention of Chief Yuki of the Police Department?

Such reckless behavior is unlike that of a ruthless clan leader who rose from the ashes through countless battles.

Eliminate all impossibilities.

Only the most likely possibility remains.

Nara Shikako's gaze focused on the blue-haired youth.

Kato Dan publicly expressed his support for the medical reform at the Ninja Academy on his own initiative!

The meeting room fell silent in an instant. Kato Dan pursed his lips, realizing something was wrong. With no other option but to take a gamble, he said, "On the battlefield, too many comrades have sacrificed their lives due to insufficient medical resources. Training medical awareness from the Ninja Academy is a very good decision."

"OI, are you implying that we medical ninjas are doing nothing?" A hot-tempered medical ninja retorted angrily on the spot.

Nara Shikashin noticed that Tsunade didn't stop the medical ninja, and immediately understood what was going on.

He quickly gestured to Yamanaka Hikoichi and Akimichi Choshu, mobilizing the ninjas in the medical system to passionately 'open the microphone' to Kato Dan.

Suddenly, another argument broke out in the meeting room.

Orochimaru, who was sitting relatively close to Tsunade, noticed that Tsunade's expression remained unchanged, but her eyes...

He punched Jiraiya, who was spying on him, and gave him that same dangerous look.

He glanced again at the young and handsome Kato Dan, and at Uchiha Yuuki, whose smile held a hidden meaning.

Orochimaru couldn't help but chuckle softly; the old man seemed to be planning some kind of shady move.

Tsunade acted as if nothing had happened, turning her head to chat with Yuuki without giving Kato Dan a single glance.

The old man really went to great lengths to cause trouble!

They sent a young ninja from the Third Hokage's faction, who appeared to support the ninja academy's medical reforms, but in reality, he harbored malicious intentions!

An alliance between the Split Senju and Uchiha clans?

It must be the old man's conspiracy!

Am I, Tsunade, a shallow person?

Could he easily accept a mere stranger?

funny!

The current version of Tsunade is not the lonely woman who lost her brother, whose entire clan was wiped out, and whose heart was fragile.

Senju Nawaki may have some mental issues, but at least he's still alive.

At least several hundred members of the Thousand Hands clan are still alive.

With the survival of hundreds of people weighing heavily on Tsunade's shoulders, she would not expose her vulnerable side.

In addition, there was Uchiha Yuuki's companionship.

In the current version, Tsunade is ridiculously overpowered!

The reform of healthcare was like a minor episode, passing by amidst the noise.

Orochimaru hopes to establish a training program for research-oriented ninjas to provide talent for Konoha's research department.

Yuuki, representing the Uchiha clan and the police department, proposed a reform plan for the division of ninja schools into different departments.

Based on the existing departments in the village, the majors are divided within the Ninja Academy.

We will cultivate outstanding talents who are suited to the current needs of Konoha, based on the recruitment criteria of different departments.

Students of the Ninja Academy with different interests, specialties, and talents are allowed to choose a development path that is more suitable for them.

"Minister Yuki's proposal is very constructive."

Hiruzen Sarutobi rarely praised the Uchiha clan in public.

He sincerely felt that the ninja academy's division of majors was a reliable system.

They could easily create some low-value majors, recruit clan ninjas, and thus differentiate the internal management of the ninja clans.

It makes it easier for the family to integrate into the village.

The Jonin meeting, under the bright moonlight, came to a complete close.

The meeting's objectives were achieved smoothly.

People's attention shifted from the war to the reform of the Ninja Academy.

There's no way around it, every family has a few kids.

The ninja clan established schools to learn ninjutsu.

In order to develop in Konoha, the clan will definitely send the younger generation to the Ninja Academy to learn knowledge.

Since it concerns children, many Jonin take it very seriously.
