Starting the fourth generation Hokage

Kabuto's answer was unexpected.

Not even Yakushi Nonoyu expected that such an introverted child would suddenly have the idea of ​​becoming a ninja.

Just like before, Danzo explained to all the children in the orphanage that he wanted to choose one. When he entered the root, all the children were resistant and silent, but only Kabuto came forward.

In any case, Namikaze Minato was overjoyed that Kabuto was willing to become a ninja.

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

Namikaze Minato smiled and was in a good mood.

"Personally..., Hokage-sama, are you kidding me?" Medicine Master Nonoyu looked surprised, as if a little unbelievable.

The Fourth Hokage was willing to help bring the orphanage into Konoha and provide funding, which was already a great favor. Now he even had to personally send children who were willing to become ninjas to enroll in school. Such a level of attention even her, the dean, was a bit unsatisfied. She felt so sorry that she couldn't even believe what she was hearing.

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

As for the location in the village, I will make arrangements for you tomorrow at the latest..."

Namikaze Minato waved his hand indifferently.

Seeing that the Fourth Hokage insisted on doing this, Nonoyu couldn't say anything.

In order to allow pharmacist Nonou, who is the dean, enough time to arrange the relocation, Minato Namikaze specially approved three days of leave for him.

In this way, Kabuto's matter finally came to an end.

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

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

The current Konoha Village is a village that leans against 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 large area of ​​virgin forest in the center has been cleared and transformed into residential streets.

The only place that can still see what Konoha looked like before the village was founded is the area known as the Forest of Death.

In the early days, the Dead Forest area was not developed because the village's population was limited and could not expand there. Later, it became a place of trial due to special needs.

After studying the map for a long time, Namikaze Minato finally found a place in a remote corner of the village in the northeast corner. After finalizing the site selection, now we are just waiting for the proposal to be approved at tomorrow's high-level meeting.

…

The second day.

Hokage Building, inside the conference hall.

When Namikaze Shuimen brought up the issue of the orphanage, the opinions of everyone present did not show one-sided opposition.

Surprisingly, the proposal to establish an orphanage in the village was quickly approved, but the matter of sponsoring the children there to enroll in a ninja school was opposed.

Except for the disapproval of Danzo, who advocated harsh rule, and Mito Kaden, the advisor, Koharu, who was transferred to the dormitory, and Nara Shikaku, the Jonin representative, one remained silent and the other expressed approval.

"Yondaime, the village cannot afford to fund the education of the children in the orphanage. I hope you can understand this."

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

"There are funds to train those children who don't know their roots. Why don't you think about why the Daimyos of Fire Country have repeatedly delayed sending military funds to Konoha recently."

Shimura Danzo was as usual, with a sullen face, as if someone owed money but had not yet paid it.

It seems that his ability to endure the establishment of an orphanage in the village is 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 wealthy, and Konoha is indeed the number one ninja village on the surface. However, time has changed, and after three ninja wars in the past few decades, especially the last Nine-Tails Rebellion, Konoha has become It's a serious loss of vitality. It is no exaggeration to say that the village has entered an unprecedented period of weakness at this time.

Therefore, Konoha at this stage is actually a little stretched in all aspects, not to mention economically.

Danzo, who had the false reputation of being the Hokage's assistant, actually had no regard for Namikaze Minato's objections. After all, after the last Uchiha incident, the two had fallen out due to their political opinions, and now their relationship was only superficially acceptable.

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

Because the two advisors and Danzo are actually completely different.

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

Because the two were good at calm analysis and experienced, and they were disciples of the second generation and contemporaries of the third generation, they won the trust of the predecessor Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. Of course, the reason why they hold an important position at the top is mainly because they are recognized by the majority of jounin and have sufficient seniority.

In this regard, Danzo is far behind.

Even within Konoha, the impression of the villagers and Jonin was not very good.

This is also an important reason why in the original work, he took advantage of Tsunade's coma and the temporary Hokage who took office could only be regarded as the fifth generation and was not recognized by future generations.

"If the issue of military expenditures that have not yet been released can be solved, I think it is not impossible to select some children with innocent backgrounds from the orphanage to serve Konoha..." Koharu, who turned to bed with half-white hair, expressed his different opinions tactfully. .

Normally, the opinions of the two consultants will not conflict with each other.

But today, there seems to be some exceptions.

"It seems that the current problem is mainly related to funding..." Namikaze Minato pretended to sigh, and then said: "The daimyo's delay in military spending really needs to be solved."

"Why don't you, Lord Danzo, go to the Daming Mansion in person to understand the specific situation..."

Minato Namikaze, who had been mentally prepared for the fact that the decision to support the orphanage could not be approved, calmly posed a problem to the pot king.

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

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

After the previous Ninja World War, when the Fire Country Daimyo was dissatisfied with the results and Konoha's performance, he would behave like this. Under normal circumstances, if he went to ask for military expenses, he would be scolded and questioned.

However, in order to obtain military funds, those who came to urge them had to treat them nicely.

This time, the Fire Nation daimyo, who had delayed military expenditures for nearly half a month, was probably dissatisfied with the impact and losses caused by the previous Kyuubi incident.
