Chapter 83 Constraints

Kabuto's answer was unexpected.

Even Yakushi Nono didn't expect that such an introverted child would suddenly have the idea of ​​becoming a ninja.

Just like when Danzo told all the children in the orphanage that he would pick one to enter the Root, all the children were resistant and silent, but only Kabuto volunteered.

In any case, Kabuto was willing to be a ninja, and Minato Namikaze was overjoyed.

"Very good, after the orphanage is officially moved to Konoha Village, I will personally send you to the ninja school."

Minato Namikaze smiled and was in a good mood.

"Personally..., Lord Hokage, are you kidding?" Yakushi Nono looked surprised, as if he was a little unbelievable.

The Fourth Hokage was willing to help the orphanage be incorporated into Konoha and provide financial assistance, which was already a great favor. Now he even had to personally send the children who were willing to become ninjas to register for school. With such a high level of attention, even she, the dean, felt a little sorry, so much so that she didn't even believe the facts she heard.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about these things. You can prepare for the relocation in the next two days.

As for the location in the village, I will arrange it for you tomorrow at the latest..."

Minato Namikaze waved his hand indifferently.

Nono saw that the Fourth Hokage insisted on doing so, so he didn't say anything.

In order to allow the pharmacist Nono, the dean, to have enough time to arrange the relocation, Minato Namikaze specially approved three days of vacation for him.

In this way, the matter of Kabuto finally came to an end.

After returning home that night, Minato Namikaze took out the Konoha map and studied the location of the orphanage.

According to the plan, he plans to include more children in this orphanage in the future. So the location should naturally be as large as possible.

The current Konoha Village is a village that is backed by the cliff and spreads out in a fan shape.

After 48 years of development, this place has grown from a forest to its current size. The original large area of ​​original forest in the center has been cut down and transformed into residential streets.

Now the only place where you can still see the appearance of Konoha before the village was built is the area called the Death Forest.

In the early days, the Death Forest area was not developed because the village had a limited population and could not expand there. Later, it became a trial site because of special needs.

After studying the map for a long time, Minato Namikaze could only find a place in a remote corner of the village in the northeast corner. After finalizing the site, now we just have to wait for the proposal to be passed at the high-level meeting tomorrow.

…

The next day.

In the conference hall of the Hokage Building.

When Minato Namikaze brought up the orphanage, the opinions of the people on the scene did not show a one-sided opposition.

Unexpectedly, the proposal to establish an orphanage in the village was quickly passed, but the matter of subsidizing the children in it to enter the ninja school was opposed.

Except for Danzo who advocated harsh policies and advisor Mitomon En, one of them remained silent and the other agreed.

"Fourth Hokage, the village can't afford to support the children in the orphanage to go to school. I hope you can understand this."

Mitomon En's expression was very serious, and his tone clearly left no room for negotiation.

"Instead of spending money to train those children whose backgrounds are unknown, why don't you think about why the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has repeatedly delayed sending military funds to Konoha recently."

Shimura Danzo, as usual, had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him money.

It seems that being able to tolerate the establishment of an orphanage in the village is already his limit.

The proposal was opposed by the Hokage's assistant and advisor, which was actually expected by Minato Namikaze. The Land of Fire is rich, and Konoha is indeed the first ninja village in public, but times have changed. After several decades of three ninja world wars, especially the last Nine-Tails Rebellion, Konoha has been seriously injured. It is not an exaggeration to say that the village has entered an unprecedented period of weakness.

So at this stage, Konoha actually seems to be a little stretched in all aspects, not to mention the economy.

Danzo, who is the assistant of the Hokage, is actually disdainful of the opposition of Minato Namikaze. After all, after the last Uchiha incident, the two had torn their faces because of their political views, and now their relationship is just superficial.

But he still has to respect the opinions of the two consultants.

Because the two consultants are actually completely different from Danzo.

The so-called consultant's job is mainly responsible for managing Konoha's government agencies on weekdays, and making the most favorable decisions for the village when there are major events in the village.

Because they are good at calm analysis and have a lot of experience, and they are also disciples of the second generation and the same time of the third generation, they are deeply trusted by the former Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. Of course, the reason why they are so important in the top is mainly because they are recognized by the majority of senior ninjas and have enough experience.

In this respect, Danzo is far behind.

Even within Konoha, the reputation of the pot king is not very good in the impression of the villagers and senior ninjas.

This is also the important reason why he can only be regarded as the fifth generation in the original work when he took office as the temporary Hokage while Tsunade was unconscious, and was not recognized by later generations.

"If the problem of delayed military expenditure can be solved, I think it is not impossible to select some children with clean backgrounds from orphanages to serve Konoha..." Utatane Koharu, with half white hair, expressed a different opinion in a tactful way.

Normally, the opinions of the two consultants will not be at odds.

But today, there seems to be some exceptions.

"It seems that the current problem is mainly about funding..." Namikaze Minato sighed, and then said: "The problem of the daimyo delaying military expenditures really needs to be solved."

"Why not, let Danzo go to the daimyo's mansion in person to understand the specific situation..."

Namikaze Minato, who had been mentally prepared for the decision to support the orphanage, calmly threw a difficult question to the Pot King.

As soon as he finished speaking, Danzo's face changed slightly.

Going to the daimyo to urge military expenditures is of course a thankless task.

After the previous Ninja World War, the Fire Country Daimyo had also made such a move because he was dissatisfied with the results and the performance of Konoha. Generally speaking, if he went to ask for military funds, he would be complained and questioned.

However, in order to get the military funds, the people who went to urge had to treat them kindly.

This time, the Fire Country Daimyo delayed the military funds for nearly half a month, probably because he was dissatisfied with the impact and losses caused by the previous Nine-Tails incident.
