Considering that the war is imminent, Kizaru, who has become the Hokage for the first time, is not planning to make major changes, but is just planning to optimize the village's management system first.
The Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Culture mentioned in the Kizaru Plan will not be established until after the war.
The Presbyterian Council and the Secretariat will implement it immediately after today's meeting.
"As for the Secretariat, in the afternoon I will draw up a list of several permanent secretaries responsible for managing the Secretariat. The remaining secretaries will be drawn from the Administration Department and the Logistics Department by the permanent secretaries."
Nodding, regarding the establishment of the secretariat, neither the two consultants nor Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo made any suggestions.
In the understanding of the four people, the work of the Secretariat is similar to the Hokage's assistant. The power of the position cannot be too great. It mainly reflects the Hokage's trust.
In the plan, Kizaru also hid the role of the secretariat. He only briefly described the two points of assisting the Hokage in daily administrative work and cultivating new political talents.
Since they are training newcomers, the four middle-aged and elderly people will naturally not intervene shamelessly. At most, they are plotting in their hearts whether they should fight for a position in Kizaru for their own clan members.
Including Hiruzen Sarutobi, who has reached a private deal with Kizaru, he also wants to cultivate the younger generation of the Sarutobi clan and pave the way for their future political future.
"This is the arrangement of the Secretariat for the time being. Next, let's talk about the focus of today's meeting, the quota and members of the Presbyterian Council." After speaking, Kizaru paused deliberately, wanting to see the expressions of the four people in front of him, especially of two consultants.
As expected by Kizaru, both his teacher and uncle were very calm. Although the expressions of the two consultants were calm on the surface, Kizaru could feel that they were a little uncomfortable and uneasy in their hearts.
"In order to facilitate voting when there is a conflict of opinion within the Presbytery, my idea is to have an odd number of names, that is, three."
After hearing Kizaru say that there are only three seats in the Presbyterian Council, the expressions and mentality of the two consultants were quite stable.
Kizaru's plan document stated that as long as the ninjas in the village enter the Council of Elders, they cannot concurrently hold positions in other departments, nor can they participate in the management of actual affairs. They only have the right to make suggestions for the Hokage and the village's affairs.
According to the two people's guesses, Kizaru named the three people, probably because he wanted to let Danzo continue to manage the roots, and then recruit himself and the other three people.
With a smile on his face, Kizaru glanced at the two advisors, then looked at his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi, and continued to speak.
"Provisional member of the Elders Council, Sarutobi-sensei, Advisor Yan"
Hearing his name being called, Mito Kadoyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The guess was just a guess, and now that it had come to fruition, it was even more reassuring.
Koharu, who was sitting next to Mito Kabuto, looked at Kizaru closely, looking forward to the next person to read his name.
"Hokage assists Danzo!"
As Kizaru finished reciting the third name, Koharu's eyes suddenly widened when he went to bed, his face changed, and there was a trace of panic and anger in his eyes when he looked at Kizaru.
She never expected that after Kizaru took over, she would be the first one to move?
"The Fourth Hokage, what do you mean?"
Frightened and angry, Koharu turned to bed and instinctively looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen across from him, hoping that this old friend could say a few words to him.
When she went to bed, Koharu chose to seek help from Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately instead of her political ally Mito Kadenen because she suddenly became a little suspicious of her ally.
Kizaru chose Mito Monobu to enter the Council of Elders instead of himself. Was it because of some private deal between the two?
Even if the deal is not reached, will Mito Monoyan still speak for himself under Kizaru's good intentions?
It was precisely because of this suspicion that Koharu immediately turned to Hiruzen Sarutobi for help. After all, as the former Hokage and Kizaru's teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi had enough say.
"Consultant Koharu, don't worry. I'm very aware of your abilities and your contribution to the village. I have another important responsibility for you." Kizaru said in a kind tone as he looked at Koharu who was sleeping with a smile.
Kizaru's words calmed Koharu's uneasy mind a little. Whether Kizaru was trying to appease himself or he really had other important responsibilities, at least Kizaru showed a compensatory attitude.
"Advisor Koharu will temporarily retain the position of Hokage Advisor, responsible for the management of the Logistics Department and the Administrative Department. After the war is over, he will be responsible for the establishment and management of the Ministry of Culture."
Ministry of Culture? Why not the Ministry of Commerce?
Regarding Kizaru's arrangement, Koharu was able to accept it, but it still felt a little bad.
If she had to choose by herself, Xiaochun would prefer the leadership of the Ministry of Commerce. After all, all commercial projects invested in the village in the future will be managed by the Ministry of Commerce! This is the real fat difference!
"OK!"
She felt a little dissatisfied, but fortunately, her calm and rational thinking allowed Xiaochun to suppress her greed. Instead of raising any objections, she agreed vocally.
"In addition, considering that the war is coming soon, the root affairs will still be handled by Danzang elder for the time being. After the war is over, another person will be arranged to take charge."
Everyone has no objection to this arrangement. After all, secret departments such as Anbu and Genbu are prone to trouble if they temporarily change their leaders before the war.
"Okay, I've finished my words. Do the elders have anything to add or suggestions to make?" Kizaru asked relaxedly, leaning on the sofa.
"Kizaru, what do you think about the alliance of three major ninja villages, Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure, besieging the village this time?" After discussing the core power within the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen also relaxed a lot and picked up the pipe, asked as he smoked.
"Teacher, are you asking, should we take the initiative or defend and counterattack?" Kizaru understood the meaning of his teacher's words.
It's easy to talk to smart people. Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with his pipe in his mouth, "I have already done all the mobilization within the village. On the mission delegation side, the number of mission commissions has also been reduced by 90%. In addition to the ninjas in the village, All those with necessary tasks have been recalled.”
"We have to fight this war outside. We cannot let the Fire Country be damaged by the war. This is the bottom line!"
Kizaru's idea is also the idea of most people at the scene. It is most beneficial to everyone to put the battlefield in other countries.
"Then if the east and west fronts start fighting at the same time, what do you think about the command of the fronts? Or should you personally lead the team?" Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to ask.
"If I take action, there is no need to fight. We can directly send people to take over the three major countries of water, earth and thunder."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed. No one knew how high Kizaru's current strength limit was, but one thing they knew was that looking at the entire ninja world, no one was Kizaru's opponent, even in group fights.
"About this war, my idea is to use it to train the new generation of the village while controlling the number of casualties. In the final analysis, ninja is an armed profession and needs to fight with others and see blood. War is good Catalyst can help us train the ninjas in the village well."
Kizaru's future great cause requires a large number of talents. He can't always protect the ninjas of the village under him, otherwise he will only cripple them!
"But training is training. We can't throw the children who have just graduated into the battlefield. That is not training, it is murder. In this war, we adopt an elite combat model. Only those who have graduated from the ninja school for more than three years can complete the battle. Only ninjas who have passed at least ten C-level missions or one B-level mission are qualified to participate in the battle."
"In this case, will the number of our ninja troops be insufficient? There are also many ninjas in the ninja clan who are taught by families, who have never attended a ninja school, or who have never performed tasks in the village. How should we screen these?" Shui Tomonitis raises a question.
"Don't worry about the number of people. I can use sensory ninjutsu to cover the entire front line. Once danger arises, I will intervene in time. As for the ninjas of the ninja clan, let them recommend themselves! Tell them that in this war, we are It is used to train newcomers, only elites, not cannon fodder!"
"Yes!" There is no problem with Kizaru's arrangement, Mito Kadoyan replied directly.
"In the past few days, the main work of the Council of Elders is to prepare a list of candidates for the front line command and the list of ninjas participating in the war. Advisor Koharu is responsible for the logistical preparations for the war, and must not make any mistakes!" Kizaru ordered him to become Hokage. The first administrative task after.
"Yes!" Regarding the war, the three elders and an advisor replied in unison.
"Okay, let's break up the meeting!"
