Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 108 Konoha Year 26

"Ring ring ring ring"

A white arm emerged from under the quilt and snapped the alarm clock to a stop.

"Tsunade~ Time to get up and eat~" Her mother's voice came from outside.

A head with pale yellow hair peeked out from under the covers. Tsunade mumbled a response, then rolled over, still wrapped in the blankets, to continue sleeping.

"squeak"

The door opened, and a head peeked out. Tsunade's mother, hands on her hips, said helplessly to Tsunade, who was still wrapped in the blanket and refusing to get up, "Have you forgotten that you're going to the Hokage Building to submit your mission briefing today? Maybe you'll see your beloved Yua-nii-san?"

Tsunade, still clutching the blanket and with drool glistening at the corners of her mouth, suddenly woke up with a start, her eyes widening. She immediately sat up in bed, her already somewhat budding breasts swaying slightly...

"Get up right now!"

After quickly washing up, Tsunade grabbed two slices of bread and ran towards the door.

"I'm going out!"

After Tsunade left, her mother shook her head helplessly. If she had known this would happen, why did she give up such a great opportunity in the past?

"Wow!"

The baby's cries rang out, and Tsunade's mother quickly put down what she was doing and ran to the bedroom: "Nawaki, Nawaki, oh dear, Mommy's here..."

……

When Tsunade rushed to the Hokage's office building, she saw Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and others from the same cohort, including Sakumo Hatake, who defeated Orochimaru and won the first Chunin Exams, thus gaining direct Chunin qualification. They were all in the same group downstairs in the Hokage's office building.

However, Sakumo Hatake was standing at the very front.

"Sorry I'm late..." Tsunade stood next to Jiraiya and Orochimaru, panting heavily.

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow at Tsunade: "Tsunade, you had a chance to see your brother today, and you still managed to be late. No wonder your brother doesn't have any feelings for you."

Having spent several years together at school and then three years studying under Hiruzen Sarutobi, how could Jiraiya and Orochimaru not know about Tsunade's feelings for Yua?

It's a pity we didn't take the initiative before, but now...

Jiraiya turned and looked around; there were so many competitors...

"None of your business." Tsunade squinted at Jiraiya. She had no reason to hold back against this pervert who liked to frequent women's bathhouses.

"The door is open," Orochimaru said softly.

The three boys, now thirteen or fourteen years old, are no longer children.

In the ninja world, where people mature early, some were even married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

Even if she's not married, she has someone she's engaged to.

For example, Uchiha Kagami.

Although Uchiha Kagami was a victim of this kind of terrible family-arranged marriage, he was fortunate enough to be lucky. The girl his family randomly found for him was quite gentle, which could be considered as compensation from the goddess of luck.

(Speaking of the original history, could it be that Uchiha Kagami died because Lady Luck gave him a good wife and drained all his luck?)

What? How can you tell that Uchiha Kagami's wife is a good wife?

Look at Uchiha Shisui. In the Uchiha clan, where almost everyone is mentally unstable, it's impossible for someone as exceptional as Uchiha Shisui to emerge without family connections.

However, this is only the case for ninja families.

Although Yua has publicly become Hashirama Senju's disciple, strictly speaking, Yua is of commoner origin, and no one will force him to marry and have children at this age.

Moreover, the Senju clan had long since disbanded and scattered throughout Konoha Village.

Okay, even if it's broken down into smaller parts, there's still a way for the clan to contact each other.

However, the biggest cry from the Senju clan right now is...

That must be Tsunade.

So strictly speaking, Tsunade actually has a lot of people supporting her behind the scenes.

But while I can offer my support, you need to step up your own game.

If you stay in bed all day and then stay in bed all night, there's no way you'll ever get a boyfriend.

Not to mention that Youya was already extremely busy.

The door to the Hokage's office building opened, and more than twenty boys and girls of similar age walked in. The girls put their hands together and discussed with each other with expectant expressions whether they would see the Third Hokage, who had just taken office last month.

The boys were discussing the new system for classifying ninja ranks, which had been recently introduced by You Yaxin.

Simply put, Genin are divided into three ranks, Chunin into three grades, and Jonin into three levels.

Not only has the name changed, but the salary and benefits have also changed.

The most obvious example is the Jonin. The monthly salary of a junior Jonin is fixed at 800,000 ryo, and there is also a one-month salary subsidy at the end of the year.

A mid-level Jonin earns one million taels per month, with a three-month salary bonus at the end of the year.

A high-ranking Jonin earns 1.2 million taels of silver per month, with a year-end bonus equivalent to half a year's salary.

However, since the system has just been implemented, all Jonin are currently at the junior level, and a certain level of contribution is required to be promoted to intermediate Jonin.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the ninja system, Yuya also established a military rank system.

Military ranks and ninja levels are corresponding.

Military rank has nothing to do with the three levels of ninjas (upper, middle, and lower); it's purely based on your prestige within the Konoha army.

However, considering that the army is basically composed of ninjas (except for logistics personnel), those with higher military ranks are generally not low-ranking ninjas.

Besides completing missions and accumulating contribution points, there is another very simple way for a genin to be promoted to chunin: the chunin exam.

If you perform exceptionally well in the Chunin Exams and three Jonin, who are the examiners, agree to your promotion, you can be directly promoted to Chunin.

In theory, one can become a Chunin in their first year as a Genin.

However, it's troublesome for a Chunin to be promoted to Jonin.

In any case, the kind of meteoric rise to Jonin that Kakashi and Itachi Uchiha experienced is basically over.

In terms of military ranks, Youya is set as lieutenant, colonel, and general.

Only those with military rank have the authority to command other ninja armies.

Above the rank of general is the position of marshal.

The position of Marshal is held by the Hokage. Who is the Hokage and who is the Marshal?

Promotion in military rank is even more difficult. It requires spending more than half of the year in the military camp, as well as daily training intensity and time. The emphasis is on obedience to orders. Furthermore, ninjas in the military camp only obey the Hokage's orders and ignore all other orders.

As mentioned before, there are many things that cannot be done before Yuya becomes Hokage.

Take this ninja army reform for example. Before becoming Hokage, Yua wouldn't have dared to do it even if he had a hundred lives.

Now, he can do whatever he wants.

Anyway, Tobirama Senju has already gone to the research institute to become its director, so nobody cares about him.

Of course, this does not mean that Yua can do whatever she wants; everything Yua does must be in the interest of Konoha.

There is no doubt that the military reform is in Konoha's interest.

Furthermore, Yuya could use the military training methods from his previous life to train his own army of over 1,500 people, mostly civilian ninjas, and show Tobirama Senju what true training was.

Strict discipline is just the foundation; what truly sets it apart are the 131 formation, the triangular attack formation, the ten-man squad, and the hundred-man battalion commander training methods.

We're only at the very beginning.

As for the chakra cannons, they were naturally prioritized for Yua's personal guards.

Tobirama Senju had no objection to this.

As long as Konoha remains stable and improves, Tobirama Senju will not interfere too much.

Without a doubt, now that Yua can unleash his full potential, Konoha has finally broken free from its constraints and entered an era of full-speed growth.

First, we must start with the next generation of Konoha.

When Tsunade and the other young men and women entered the Hokage's office building and saw Yua smiling at them from the stairwell inside, even Orochimaru, who was usually calm and collected, couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Because of what Youya gave them...

This achievement marks the first time a genin has been promoted to chunin.

This achievement will undoubtedly be recorded in history...
