Chapter 167: Foreshadowing
Chapter 167: Foreshadowing
Since the other honorary elders have put Qianyao on the throne, it is natural that Qianyao should be responsible for some of Konoha's affairs.
Otherwise, the position of advisor or elder would be nothing more than an empty promise, a title without substance.
Many of the honorary elders were staring intently at the Third Hokage.
It's clear that the other elders won't agree unless the Hokage gives a satisfactory answer.
After a moment's thought, the Third Hokage found an excuse:
"Danzo's previous Root organization caused too much trouble, and there are still some Root members hiding now, so it is indeed not suitable for reorganization."
"Furthermore, Qianyao, you are in charge of the Ninja Academy's affairs, so it is not advisable for you to be distracted by other matters."
Qian Yao's face was full of sarcasm: "What could possibly happen at the Ninja Academy? Aren't the teaching materials and assignments all designed by you?"
"Besides, with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki around, and since I can't go to school, it's just an empty promise, isn't it?"
The Third Hokage never expected that Chiyo would present him with another difficult choice.
However, given the current situation, it is impossible to allow Qianyao to rebuild its roots.
"Knock knock knock..."
After the door was knocked on, Hiashi Hyuga followed the ANBU members in.
When the Japanese player entered, he noticed that the atmosphere at the meeting seemed a bit tense.
Although he was unaware of the situation, he nodded to the Hokage first:
"What is it that the Hokage summoned me here for?"
The Third Hokage looked at Chiyo, who gestured for him to proceed.
He began, "After our meeting, we concluded that neither the Anbu nor the Uchiha clan are suitable to supervise the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
"Shikaga intends to inquire about the intentions of your Hyuga clan."
"Supervising the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!?"
The Japanese football team's first reaction was, "Is this for real?"
My second thought was, wait a minute, it seems like regulating the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is now a negative benefit.
As expected, the Third Hokage added:
"However, if there are any problems with supervising the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, such as him going berserk, your Hyuga clan will be responsible."
Hiashi frowned. He thought that while the Byakugan was suitable for the Hyuga clan, whether the Nine-Tails' pursuit would cause problems was not up to him.
He hesitated for a moment.
The Third Hokage had anticipated that the Hyuga clan might hesitate.
However, after Qianyao was promoted to advisor elder, an honorary elder position became vacant.
Then the Third Hokage spoke up: "If your Hyuga clan accepts this mission, you can take over the position of honorary elder of Senyo."
Hiashi looked at Chiyo with some surprise.
The Third Hokage added, "Chiyo has been promoted to advisor elder."
Hiashi's eyes scanned the entire venue, and he also spotted the Raikage's arm in front of Senyou's seat.
He said slowly, "It seems I've missed something."
Lu He then spoke:
"The Uchiha clan captured the Sand Village Jinchuriki, took Onoki's granddaughter alive, defeated Yugito, and together with the Mizukage defeated the AB duo, and crippled the Raikage."
Although Hiashi already knew some information, he had only just received the news that Chiyo had crippled the Raikage.
Even the usually composed man looked surprised at this moment.
How can Qianyao have such strong combat power?
With such a great contribution, it's no wonder he was promoted to advisor elder.
Qianyao's next plan should be to become the Fifth Hokage, right?
Are the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan really that powerful?
The key issue is that the Uchiha clan still has two Mangekyou Sharingan users.
Compared to them, the Hyuga clan is simply insignificant.
If this continues, the Hyuga clan...
Although the Nine-Tails is a hot potato, it's still a bargaining chip.
After thinking it over, Hiashi said to the Third Hokage:
"Since the Hokage is willing to entrust this task to our Hyuga clan, then our Hyuga clan will keep a close watch on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
The Third Hokage nodded slightly: "In that case, you shall take on this position of honorary elder."
"Okay." Hiashi didn't say much more; he knew that the important thing right now wasn't with him.
The secret service quickly brought him a stool and placed it in the spot where the three clans of pig, deer, and butterfly used to be.
After Hiashi sat down, Shikaga also spoke in a low voice about the current situation.
After resolving one issue, the Third Hokage also devised a solution to the demands placed on Chiyo.
"Regarding your proposal, Chiyo, the village cannot be fundamentally rebuilt, but the power structure of the Ninja Academy can be adjusted."
"As the principal of the Ninja Academy, you are responsible for everything, including teaching materials, teaching tasks, student recruitment, and teacher appointments and dismissals."
"As the Hokage, I will no longer interfere."
"You will be responsible for Naruto's safety while he is at the Ninja Academy."
"If anything happens to Naruto, you will be responsible."
Qianyao sneered: "Whether you, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, come to school or not, I don't care."
"If I really want to use the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, do I still need to wait for him to arrive at the school?"
"Who can the Ninja Academy wield with such limited power? Are those kids good for eating or just for watching?"
Chiyo's goal was to effectively strip the Konoha leadership of control over the Nine-Tails.
As for Hyuga taking over later, Chiyo had already anticipated it.
The Hyuga clan has no reason to clash with the Uchiha clan. What the Third Hokage is saying now is just an attempt to fool Chiyo.
Seeing that Senyao was not easily fooled, the Third Hokage could no longer maintain his composure; his face darkened.
"Then what do you want?"
Qianyao tapped his hand back and forth on the table a few times:
"I'm not greedy. Whether it's the mission system or the medical system, giving me some authority is enough."
Mitokado Yan and Utatane Koharu both felt a jolt in their hearts at the same time.
Oh no, it's coming for me.
Mitokado Hō and Utatane Koharu are in charge of both departments; they are the highest-ranking officials.
Now it's undoubtedly about taking food from their bowls.
"Elders Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado have managed the two systems very well."
"If you suddenly want to take away some of the power, it can easily cause chaos."
Qianyao raised his hand: "Lord Hokage has misunderstood."
"What I mean is, since there are many Uchiha people, we plan to build our own hospital within the clan so that we don't have to use Konoha's resources."
"However, I want the same resource allocation as Konoha Hospital."
"As for the mission system, we Uchiha have many skilled members, so it's reasonable for us to choose missions first."
Upon hearing Chiyo's words, Koharu Utatane breathed a sigh of relief. It was clear that the Uchiha were wary of them, which was why they did such a thing.
While building a hospital wouldn't be a big deal for the Uchiha clan, their medical resources would be extremely scarce.
There were no medical academies in this era, and medical ninjas were a scarce resource.
High-level medical ninjas are especially rare.
Medical equipment and instruments are not things you can buy just because you have money.
If the Third Hokage agrees, Konoha will need to allocate personnel, medical resources, and educational facilities later on.
The Third Hokage understood what Chiyo meant, after the Uchiha clan and Konoha had a bad relationship.
No one went to Konoha Hospital, and no one went to the mission hall to accept a mission again.
Choosing tasks in advance is clearly a response to the traps set for them in previous tasks.
It's not unreasonable for Qianyao to want these powers.
Although the Uchiha clan has become more wary of Konoha, at this stage it is at least much better than the Uchiha clan rebuilding Root.
After careful consideration, the Third Generation agreed: "Okay, you can directly connect with Mitokado Homura on the mission system side."
"You can prioritize tasks of grade B or above."
"Regarding medical resources, you should first build the hospital and then list out the resources you need for me."
Chiyo nodded in satisfaction. A group of Uchiha had gone out earlier.
I swept through all the black market tasks, and I can say that I completed them quickly and well.
But who would complain about having an extra channel for completing tasks?
The current state of the ninja world has not been reformed, and most ninjas still rely on missions for a living.
Prioritizing high-level tasks may seem like a useless feature.
However, it is very necessary for the Uchiha clan.
There are many warlike members in the Uchiha clan, and the Uchiha clan's size will gradually expand in the future.
What Qianyao needs is a talent pool in order to gain control of Konoha later.
