Konoha Silver Lightning

Chapter 117 Bound by the past
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, and said, "That's right, I decided to open ninjutsu classes in the Chunin School. At the same time, I decided to extend the graduation period of the Chunin School by one year."

"What?" The three exclaimed in unison.

"I don't agree, Ri Zhan, you are killing yourself."

Shimura Danzo was the first to stand up to object, and then he said: "If you do this, what is the difference between Chunin School and Ninja School? It is better to merge the two schools."

"Yes."

Mito Menyan agreed: "The training of Chunin graduates doesn't take much time and energy. If you do this, the number of Chunin in our future will definitely be much less than that of the same ninja villages! "

Turning to bed Xiaochun nodded: "Not only that, the money spent will also increase greatly, and the number of people who can be used for war will decrease instead. Sarutobi, I don't support your proposal this time either."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi took a puff of smoke silently. What the three of them said was exactly what he was considering. Opening up ninjutsu classes would definitely increase the time cost. However, in today’s world where major powers are working hard to prepare for war, in the short term, this method is Can't see much effect.

And if the first batch of Chunin graduates who are proficient in using escapism succeed in graduating, the effect will be different, and the focus should not only be on the present.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at these three old comrades-in-arms with a bit of hatred: "You three, in fact, not only us, but also all major countries are doing this, and they did it earlier than us. That already speaks for itself.”

He continued: "Quantity is important, but quality is equally important. Do you think it's really a good thing for us to stick to that bit of escapism and hold it tightly in our hands and refuse to let it out?"

"Of course, this will allow the students of our ninja school to be ahead of the students of the Chunin school, but have you ever thought about it? There are only so many students in the ninja school, and there are only a few graduates in each class, and such a number is essential for war. It's not enough."

"but"

Turning bed Koharu interrupted Hiruzaru Sarutobi, and said lightly: "Sarutobi, have you ever thought that if the Chunin school students are too strong but have no ascending channel, in terms of their strength and base, they will be against you?" Konoha dealt a disastrous blow."

Shimura Danzo and Mito Menyan also nodded. This is the crux of the problem, which is the so-called class problem.

The village needs a lot of cannon fodder capable of fighting, not a large number of ninjas who are powerful enough to become a new force and challenge the old forces of Konoha veterans.

Think about it, the population of Konoha's entire village may only be in the early [-]s, but to defend the border, there are more ninjas in the standing combat force of [-] than the population of the entire Konoha village.

Where are so many ninjas?How can there be so many tasks for them to do?

As a military force of a country, Ninja Village naturally has to defend the security of its own country, so most of the ninjas went to the border to garrison.

But this is only when their strength is insufficient. If this group of forces is too strong, it will definitely become too big after the war and become a hidden danger for Konoha.

After all, with enough strength, it is inevitable that some people will not be content with the status quo, which is exactly what they are worried about.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed deeply, how could he not know what the three of them said, so he opened his mouth slowly and expressed his opinion: "There is no way to do this, the more turbulent the situation is, the more we will We need to strengthen our own strength. Now there are the Uchiha clan inside, and the four major powers outside are coveting our country all the time, and our situation is far from as optimistic as we imagined. If we don’t make a decision early, I’m afraid to wait for the real one. It will be too late when Ninja War breaks out."

Shimura Danzo changed the topic at this time, and said in a low voice: "Sarutobi, I really think it's a failure for you to let the Uchiha guys into the Anbu. These dark guys are too difficult to control. In the past six months, they have paid no attention to it. You have invested a lot of resources in the dark department, whether it is the mastery of intelligence or the promotion is very fast, presumably, you are still worried about this."

Turning to bed Xiaochun said lightly: "Obviously, having invested so much ninjutsu resources and sacrificing so many lives in order to complete the mission, their purpose is obvious, which is the position of Naruto."

Mito Menyan smiled coldly: "They won't succeed, their clan's reputation is too bad, not to mention that the murderer who killed the first generation is their clansman! Otherwise, the first generation and the second generation join forces, and it must be in a peaceful era. "

This matter involved Bai Fang's death, although it was a deal between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, but it was also known by Mitomonyan and Tanju Koharu.

After all, Konoha's high-level people are so small, and they can't hide anything from each other's eyes.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed, didn't care about Danzo's rhetoric, and said: "Uchiha is on the one hand, I just said that the more important thing is to welcome the third ninja battle. Surviving the Ninja War, none of this makes sense."

Then, he said: "Then, let's vote. This matter is of great importance. Once it is implemented, the consequences will be far-reaching. Please consider it carefully."

After finishing speaking, Hiruzaru Sarutobi leaned back on the chair wearily, and closed his eyes.

"I object."

"I'm against it too."

Mitomen Yan and Zhuanju Koharu objected one after another. They are both senior officials of the Ministry of Administration. They are well aware of the impact of this incident. They are saying that Konoha's financial situation is not optimistic now, and they do not have enough capital to carry out this plan. .

The two looked at Danzo Shimura in unison. If he voted against, then the matter would be completely rejected. If he voted for it, it would be just another discussion.

"I object."

Danzo Shimura still hesitated to cast this crucial vote in the end. Although he has always been more aggressive externally and is willing to increase investment in military power, if the money is spent on people whose loyalty to Konoha is far less than that of ninja school students He is still skeptical about the Chunin graduates.

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his eyes weakly, as if he had aged several years in an instant. He had thought about this proposal for a long time, and he had considered all aspects, but the final result was not beyond his expectations. rejected.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed deeply in his heart.

'These guys, I am so familiar with them, they don't allow things beyond my control to appear, they are really like the rationality of the second generation, but they are far less broad-minded than the first generation, you know, it is the first generation that With a heart that is tolerant to all rivers and thousands of people, it is in this forest that all major families have gathered to establish the current Konoha. '

As he said, the four of them are all apprentices taught by the Second Hokage, and they are deeply influenced by the Second Hokage, even himself.. as well.

When he wanted to make a change, it was the people from the past who supported Konoha with him, the people who guarded Konoha in the first place, who stopped him.

It was also his past that constrained the changes he wanted to make for Konoha.

Yidaimu, the god of ninja, the strongest ninja ever, but it is such a strongest ninja recognized by the world, who is willing to kowtow to the four shadows of the four countries for the sake of peace. Such a person with a world in mind, they are far behind .. far less than ah.
