Konoha: The New Will of Fire

Naruto Building.

Qian Qiao originally thought that he would be very excited after becoming the fifth generation Hokage, and that the peak of his life was about to come.

But the dream is very full, and the reality is very skinny.

First of all, due to the leak of the third-generation Hokage's conspiracy to kill the fourth-generation Hokage, the entire Konoha was in turmoil, which was not suitable for starting the Hokage succession ceremony.

In addition, the war in Konoha is not over yet, and everything is rushing in like a swarm. Gan Qiao is so busy that he is exhausted and can only eat instant noodles for three meals.

Qianqiao finally understood Naruto's miserable life after becoming Hokage.

On the desk full of documents, Qian Qiao, who was immersed in the pile of documents, signed the last document and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Qian Qiao looked at Lu Jiu who was sorting out the documents next to him and thanked him: "Lu Jiu, thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to finish processing these documents even if I stayed up late today."

Lu Jiu raised his head and said: "It will be like this even if you are not familiar with it at the beginning. Once you become familiar with it, Hokage-sama, it will be much easier to deal with it in the future."

Qian Qiao disagreed. If he had to deal with these files every day, he would rather not do it.

Although there are a lot of documents on this table, many of them are actually small and messy things, such as supplies at the border, the opening of a special training ground, and even the tasks of jounin.

From a management point of view, Konoha's management method is very backward and inefficient. Some things that can be decided by the Jonin have to be decided by the Hokage.

After all, Konoha is just a big village with less than 10 people. If you manage a village of 10 people, you will be so tired that you can't even go home every day. If in the previous life, those county magistrates who were in charge of hundreds of thousands of people would have hundreds of thousands of people. Mayors with tens of millions of dollars, and senior officials with tens of millions of dollars, don't all have to die from exhaustion in the office.

Are all the higher-ups in Konoha idiots?Definitely not. Next to him, Lu Jiu's IQ is as good as a monster. The essential reason is power.

The current management method of Konoha comes from the third generation. It has to be said that after decades of being Hokage, the influence of the third generation has been on all aspects of Konoha.

But people like Sandai have such a strong desire for power that they have to decide even some messy little things personally.

What is power?

Power is by no means a position that can give you honor or disgrace with just a piece of paper, nor is it some kind of behavioral pleasure that allows you to realize the value of your life. The essence of power is the extent to which you can influence and control others, and even the spiritual life of the entire society.

For example, Sandai's control over everything is not an act of exercising power, but a pleasure to satisfy his perverted desire for control.

In Qian Qiao's mind, the real person in power should be like the old Zhu family emperor in his previous life, who had not been in court for decades and still perfectly controlled the entire country.

reform!

Reform is necessary, but not now. He has just taken the position of Hokage, and he still has a series of problems. He must firmly hold the position of Hokage before he can implement a series of reforms.

Gan Qiao was thinking about reform. Lu Jiu glanced at Gan Qiao who was thinking, hesitated, and asked: "How are you going to deal with the problem of the fifth generation and the third generation?"

Gan Qiao, who was awakened by the inquiry, was stunned for a moment, touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "What do you think should be done?"

Qian Qiao didn't express his thoughts, but asked Lu Jiu first.

His idea was naturally to discredit the third generation and completely eliminate this threat, but the prestige and achievements of the third generation were there after all. Qian Qiao had erased the prestige of the third generation through the Nine-Tails incident, but the achievements of the third generation could not be erased.

There is also the influence of the Third Generation Hokage for decades. Now the mainstays of Konoha are all single-handedly promoted by the Third Generation. They have accepted the leadership of the Third Generation's Will of Fire since they were young.

The only one who is not affected is the Uchiha clan, but relying on the Uchiha clan is obviously not enough.

As a Hokage, there are some things that you can't just rely on yourself to deal with in a moment, you have to think carefully.

In short, there is no problem in dealing with the third generation, but this must not be raised by him.

Shikaku was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Qianqiao to throw this question directly to him. After he reacted, he thought for a while: "There is no doubt that what the third generation did was extremely heinous and unprecedented in the history of Konoha. Not punishing him is not enough for the villagers." Angry, but the third generation is the third generation after all, and his merits for Konoha outweigh his faults..."

Qian Qiao interrupted Lu Jiu: "So what you mean is that the merits and demerits are equal to each other?"

Hearing this, he already heard Shikaku's opinion. He could do anything to Sandai, but he would keep Sandai alive.

Seeing that Lu Jiu didn't speak, Qian Qiao asked again: "Is this your intention or yours?"

Lujiu replied: "We..."

Gan Qiao was silent. If it was just Lu Jiu, Gan Qiao didn't need to worry about it, but if there were many people, then Gan Qiao had to consider it.

Shikaku added: "Actually, Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama also mean the same thing, leaving three generations alive."

Qian Qiao was startled: "Did Jiraiya and Tsunade tell you?"

"No," Shikaku explained: "But at yesterday's meeting, Tsunade-sama expressed his opinion. Tsunade-sama deliberately scolded the Third Generation and made a noise to compete for the Fifth Hokage. The real purpose is to reduce the pressure on you, the Fifth Generation."

So it turned out that this was the case, Ganqiao suddenly realized. He also wondered why Tsunade suddenly fought for Hokage and finally remained silent. Jiraiya did not support Tsunade but supported him. It turned out that Jiraiya knew from the beginning that Tsunade would not fight for Hokage.

Tsunade did this not only to help him share his notoriety, but also to use her reputation as a stepping stone.

There is no free lunch in the world. The reason why Tsunade did this was naturally to let him spare the life of the third generation.

Gianqiao had to consider the opinions of people like Tsunade, Jiraiya and Shikaku, but Gianqiao was unwilling to let the third generation go like this.

Just then, Shisui wearing ANBU clothing appeared in the room.

"Senior Qianqiao, the wall of the third generation's house was demolished by the angry villagers."

Qian Qiao and Lu Jiu were startled.

Qian Qiao was surprised and asked curiously: "What's going on? Won't your ANBU stop me?"

Although the third generation was not imprisoned, Ganqiao still sent a team of Anbu to monitor the third generation 24 hours a day. Fearing that the third generation would cause trouble, Ganqiao asked Shisui to monitor him personally.

Zhishui said in a helpless tone: "There are too many angry people, and the four of us can't stop them."

If it was a battle, it would be useless for more people to come. But facing the villagers, they could only choose to dissuade them with words. If they really tried to stop them, they would definitely cause casualties. If someone died, it would be a big trouble.

When Shikaku heard this, he smiled bitterly. They still wanted to save the life of Sandai. Judging from the anger of the villagers, this might be difficult.

"Let's go, I'll go take a look!"

Qian Qiao decided to go and have a look. He was the Fifth Hokage and he had to deal with this matter.

With that said, Qianqiao walked outside. When passing by Lu Jiu, Qian Qiao stopped for a moment, glanced at Lu Jiu, and said calmly.

"Regarding the third generation, I hope you will think about Konoha's 'White Fang' Hatake Sakumo before making a decision!"

Hearing this name, Shikaku was startled and looked up at Qianqiao, who had already left with Shisui.

Looking at Qian Qiao's leaving figure, Lu Jiu murmured in a low voice.

"If only he were like White Fang..."
