Konoha: Offer your heart to the Hokage!

Organ donation volunteer forms bearing the Hokage's seal were posted at the Hokage Building and Konoha Hospital.

On the application form, Shen Er and Zhu Jian's names were very eye-catching.

...

Shen Er stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the villagers who were gathered together like ants.

The villagers gathered around the notice board, looking at the volunteer application form posted there, creating quite a commotion.

They admired the Hokage and Jin's selfless spirit, yet couldn't help but keep their distance.

After all, organ donation and allowing medical ninjas to practice on their own corpses were far too advanced and mind-blowing for the ninja world of this era.

Shen Er stood by the window, expressionless, watching the noise below, his eyes as calm as a stagnant pool.

This application form was specially tailored for hot-blooded idiots like Hashirama from Konoha.

His only target was Hashirama Senju.

As for whether the other villagers will sign or accept this forward-thinking proposal...

"It's irrelevant."

Chapter 10 Ninja Academy

The next day.

Having just completed a mission in the Land of Lightning, Tobirama Senju returned to the village, dressed in a dusty outfit.

Without stopping for a moment, they went straight to the Hokage's office.

The message, delivered in a somber tone, was enough to exacerbate the turmoil in the ninja world and plunge the entire Hidden Leaf Village into unease.

"Kumakuya dispatched an elite ninja force led by Kinkaku and Ginkaku in an attempt to capture the Nine-Tails."

The elders who participated in the meeting looked at each other in bewilderment, and the office fell into a deathly silence.

Hashirama broke the silence first, "They succeeded?"

His tone was one of surprise and curiosity, but there was no trace of nervousness in it.

It was as if they were just inquiring about the aftermath of the beast that had broken into their neighbor's house.

"...It failed."

"My intelligence indicates that they suffered heavy casualties and were driven back by the Nine-Tails."

"Is that so? The Nine-Tails is indeed very strong," Hashirama remarked.

"Brother!" Tobirama emphasized solemnly, "This is not the time for jokes. Kumogakure wants to capture the Nine-Tails; their intentions are sinister. If we let them go unchecked, they will eventually harm Konoha."

"We should strike first and destroy their war-making capabilities."

Faced with Tobirama's suggestion, Hashirama immediately rejected it: "War will only cause deeper suffering to the civilians of both countries, and the conflict will never be truly resolved. I hope that ninjas can help each other regardless of national borders..."

He turned to the young ninja from the Sarutobi clan beside him and instructed, "Sasuke, send a messenger to Kumogakure to ask if they need medical support."

"Big brother!"

Tobirama immediately panicked.

Why not just kick a man when he's down, instead of helping him out?

"Alright, Tobirama, my mind is made up. You've had a tough time on your mission in the Land of Lightning, so take a good rest."

"..."

The debate lasted all morning.

In the end, Tobirama left the Hokage Building with a sigh.

On his way back to his ancestral home, he noticed a notice posted in front of the Gospel Hospital and asked curiously, "What's this?"

"Lord Tobirama, this is an organ donation consent form," a villager explained enthusiastically.

Organs, what?

Tobirama had a bad feeling. After seeing the contents and even Hashirama's signature, his face turned green.

He immediately went upstairs to find Shen Er.

He bowed his head to the table without looking up, and said, "Tobirama, please sit down."

"No need," Tobirama said curtly. "What, what's with that application form?"

"Many medical ninjas in the hospital lack experience and need ninja corpses to serve as cadavers to facilitate the mastery of medical ninjutsu. As for organs, some ninjas have their internal organs damaged by explosive tags and kunai, and conventional medical ninjutsu cannot save them, so transplantation is the only option."

"I have already suggested to the Hokage that we take care to collect the bodies of enemy village ninjas when carrying out missions. This will greatly alleviate the pressure on cadavers and organ banks."

Hearing this explanation...

Tobirama calmed down.

Upon closer reflection, it turned out that he himself was the one who was impatient.

After all, he needed to use ninja corpses when he conducted forbidden research in private, but he subconsciously overthought things when he saw his older brother's name.

She put down her pen and smiled gently: "Tobirama, did you associate the Hokage's name with something bad?"

"It's understandable. No one would feel good about the thought of their loved one's body being dissected by a scalpel."

“However,” Shen Er changed the subject, revealing a rare sly smile, “Hashirama is the God of Shinobi, who can hurt him? But signing a volunteer form to set an example for the villagers is no big deal.”

"No." Tobirama shook his head. "If it's that person... then what about you? You've also signed your name and are you ready?"

"My greatest wish is to end war and keep suffering away from this world." Shen Er said calmly. "I am safe in the hospital, but if something unexpected happens, I would be very gratified if my organs could help the villagers after I die."

Tobirama stared at Jin for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh: "I never expected there to be someone like you in the ninja world. Fine, give me a pen."

"what are you up to?"

“You said it yourself, it’s just about setting an example. Since it can alleviate the village’s medical burden, as an elder of Konoha and the Hokage’s younger brother, I should naturally take the lead.”

Even with a hesitant look, he kindly advised, "Tobirama, you're different. You often leave the village on missions. If something unexpected happens, even though we're friends, I will still strictly follow the agreement in the volunteer agreement."

"I am very strong."

Tobirama crossed his arms and defiantly rejected the offer of goodwill.

Upon hearing this, Shen Er immediately handed over the pen.

Buy one get one free, and even the suspicious Tobirama signed it—what a pleasant surprise!

Soon, Tobirama's name was also added to the application form.

Shen Er carefully kept the "Death Note": "I'll keep the copy, and your name will be posted on the hospital gate notice later."

"Ah."

I signed the application form without really understanding what was going on.

Just as Tobirama was about to go home, he was stopped by Shinji.

"Tobirama, I have a proposal I'd like to discuss with you first."

Tobirama appeared wary: "If there's a proposal, you should talk to the Hokage, not me."

"It's just a discussion."

"I heard from the villagers that the Land of Lightning has been making some big moves lately, is that true?"

"Ah."

Tobirama responded, which was also what he had been arguing about at the Hokage Building that morning.

Shen'er's expression also turned serious: "This is what I'm worried about too. If Konoha and Kumogakure break out into war in the future... Gospel Hospital has enough beds, but the number of medical ninjas is still too small."

"You want to train medical ninjas?"

"Yes! But don't send ninjas who are used to killing. You're too clumsy."

"what do you mean……"

A sudden inspiration struck Tobirama, as if something was about to hatch.

Shen Er continued, "Following the model of the Gospel Hospital, we will bring together eligible children from various ninja clans and commoners for unified training."

"Let children with a talent for medicine become doctors; let those with a talent for combat gain the power to protect the village. Everyone will have a bright future."

boom!

Tobirama's body trembled violently.

In just a few words, he transformed his vague inspiration into a feasible plan.

Ninja Academy.

Tobirama murmured, "Hiruzen, Danzo... their ages are just right."

Tobirama had disciples.

Previously, they only trained in their spare time in the woods outside the village, without a fixed location.

During the Warring States period, ninjas only taught their own clan members; children from other clans were considered potential enemies.

The training and development of ninjas is a rather private matter.

After the ninja village was established, although it began to accept disciples from other clans, the inertia of old customs remained, and even Tobirama had not yet thought about setting up a ninja academy.

Only now did he truly see the light.

“This is feasible,” Tobirama said solemnly. “It should be implemented as soon as possible.”

Chapter 11 Uchiha Civil War

a few days later.

The news that the village was about to open a ninja academy swept through Konoha like a sudden storm.

Within half a day, the news spread like wildfire, and everyone knew about it and was talking about it.

This order came without warning, issued directly by the Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

The time limit is one month.
