There were probably less than 30 people in the original Hokage's office building, plus the ANBU and the Hokage himself.

But now, there are more than a hundred people in this building!

These people came in and out, every room was opened, and many documents were taken out to read.

Sarutobi Hiruzen even found that some of the files were turning yellow. It was obvious that these files had been stored in the Hokage's office building for decades, and some were even from the first generation!

They've all been dug out!

"What are you doing?" Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped a young girl out of curiosity, and found that although this person had chakra, he did not wear a ninja vest or a forehead protector. Instead, he had a breastplate on his chest. .

"Konoha Archives Department, Yuan Shishi?"

Good guy, you also secretly established an archives department that I don’t know about?

"Who are you?" Yuan Shishi adjusted her glasses and asked curiously.

"I am the Third Hokage, you don't recognize me?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked. Is there anyone in Konoha who doesn't recognize me?

"Uh, sorry!" Yuan Shishi blushed: "I was recruited through the school recruitment. I really don't know what you look like, but I have already remembered it and I will definitely recognize you next time!"

"Wait a minute, what is the school recruitment?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

"School recruitment means recruiting in schools!" Yuan Shishi said honestly: "I am a third-year short-term student in Mingchuan Middle School, majoring in political thought and history. I also interned at the Mingchuan Town Office Archives for a year. .”

The girl has a clear voice that is neither humble nor arrogant, has excellent language organization skills, and has an excellent image and temperament.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had been the Hokage for more than ten years, and he recognized it at a glance. This girl was indeed a talent. She was at least qualified enough to be a file manager.

However, where is this Mingchuan Middle School? Why don’t I know where to recruit people?

If I had known earlier, I would not have hired anyone. How could an outsider get such a bargain!

"What are you doing?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.

"Oh, we have to reorganize all the files in the office building and then archive them!" Yuan Shishi said: "It has been 46 years since Konoha was established, but it seems that there has never been any work such as file management, so we You have to start from scratch, because the workload is heavy and there are many people involved, so it looks messy.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to ask what file management was, but he was afraid that he would appear uneducated by asking. He originally wanted to pat the little girl's shoulder to encourage him, but unexpectedly, the little girl's figure flashed, and her eyes that were a bit neither humble nor overbearing immediately changed. Gotta despise it.

"Ahem." Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice: "What about that? You guys keep busy. I'm going to meet the Fourth Hokage!"

Arriving next to the two old guys, the three of them looked at each other, and then looked at the seemingly chaotic, but actually quiet and orderly scene in the Hokage's office building. A suitable adjective came to mind inexplicably: professional!

These people are so professional that it makes Konoha during the third generation of rule seem like a grassroots team.

The three of them continued walking forward and found that the sign of the previous mission management office had been removed and was now turned into a convenience service center.

The five windows are still there, and there are signs on them.

Renzhuang, people's livelihood, college, finance, taxation.

"What is this for?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little confused. It was convenient for the people, how could it be convenient for the people?

There is also taxation. Isn’t taxation a daimyo’s job? Why does Konoha also need to collect taxes?

Anyone who does business in Konoha is either a ninja or a ninja. How about the tax?

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it again, and it seemed that it was really possible. After all, Orochimaru had given so many departments to those ninjas earlier, and now he doesn't even charge you a tax, wouldn't it mean that he was not giving face?

"I, my disciple, was really promoted to the position of Hokage by accident?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little confused. It felt like he had been preparing for it for many years!

"Huh?" Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly saw a familiar person sitting in the convenience service center. He waved quickly: "It's so red!"

"Please don't make any noise here!" A young man came over immediately to remind.

"Oh!" Sarutobi Hiruzen responded quickly. Fortunately, Yuhi Zhenhong had good hearing. When he heard someone calling him, he first told the people around him and then walked out of the convenience service center.

"The Third Hokage, why are you here?"

"I'm here to meet the Yondaime, and I'd like to ask if there's anything I can do to help you!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said, looking up and down at Yuhi Makoto: "Why are you not wearing a forehead protector, and your ninja vest is gone? You Could it be that he was dismissed from his post?"

It's normal to think about it. Yuhi Zhenhong is his die-hard loyalist. When the new Hokage takes over, it is natural for him to be dismissed?

"No, no!" Yuhi Zhenhong shook her head quickly: "I am now a civilian official, so I don't need to wear that thing!"

"Civilian official?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned.

"I am an official who does not need to fight!" Yuhi Zhenhong said: "My position is the director of the Convenience Service Center, responsible for coordinating and managing the work of the entire center!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen understands, he is the boss here!

He didn't know what kind of department the Convenience Service Center was, but if it followed the previous setup of the Task Management Office, it would be almost the director of the Task Management Office.

No matter how you look at it, this is a promotion!

"Not bad, not bad!" Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Yuhi Mahko's shoulder. It was normal when you think about it. Six people, five corrupt, Yuhi Mahko's reputation had already reached its peak after the golden case of this mission. In this way Even if he is the new Hokage, he cannot be dismissed easily.

"Tell me about the work of this convenience service center?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "Of course, if there are any secrets involved, don't tell me!"

"There is nothing secret about this. Every villager will know it in the future!" Yuhi Zhenhong first pointed to the window of the ninja suit and said: "This is more closely related to ninjas. In the future, ninjas who want to find a job must go through Here, other retired ninjas want to find jobs, and the payment of martyrs’ pensions also goes through here!”

"This" Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little surprised. Of the five windows, only one was related to ninjas?

"This college window is responsible for recruiting students and handling admission procedures. Because the school has not been established yet, so we handle it here first. When the school is built in the future, the school will be able to handle these tasks by itself!"

"You want to open a new ninja school?" Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and said, "This is not realistic at all. The current ninja schools are not full of students, and those parents are not willing to send their children to the school! "

"That's because ninja schools still charge tuition fees!" Yuhi Zhenhong said: "In the future, the schools we run will implement a nine-year compulsory education system, that is, no tuition fees will be charged for the first nine years. In addition, we will also enact a law that parents will not It’s illegal to send children to school, so schools won’t be afraid of not being able to recruit enough students!”

"No tuition?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened: "This is nonsense. Do you know how much a ninja school costs per year?"

"Education does cost money, but education is the basis of a century-old plan!" Xihi Zhenhong sighed and said: "No matter how hard it is, we can't suffer the children, no matter how poor we are, we can't afford education. No matter how much money we spend, this school must be built!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen only felt a little toothache, this should have been his own money!

Just give the green banknotes to the poor?

Turning his eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of another question: "What should those poor families do? They originally sent one child to school, but in order for that child to become a ninja, they can subsidize the family income. But if they have to go to school for nine years, It has to be from 5 years old to 14 years old. Even if poor families don’t need to pay for tuition, they still have to pay for these books, meals, etc., and they may not be able to afford it!”

"This is related to the people's livelihood window!" Xihi Zhenhong pointed to the people's livelihood window and said: "If the family situation is difficult, and it is confirmed through research that it is true, we will designate them as low-income households and provide them with monthly allowances. We provide them with money, rice, flour, grain and oil to support their lives. If the family members have healthy limbs, we will help them find jobs so that they can have a stable income!"

"For children from poor families, we have introduced many policies such as education subsidies and student loans. These children can apply for education subsidies to complete their studies. After all, they will not be allowed to drop out of school because of poverty!"

"Ah this." Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent after hearing this.

What kind of Konoha and what kind of Hokage is this!

If I were a villager, wouldn't I be devoted to such a Hokage?

He realized for the first time that it seemed that being Hokage did not require speeches or shouting slogans. As long as he did good things for the villagers, he would naturally be recognized by them.

"That money." Sarutobi wanted to withdraw his words as soon as he opened his mouth.

Because talking about money is not humiliating oneself?

However, Yuhi Zhenhong is one of her own, so she probably won’t be outspoken.

Then he heard Yuhi Zhenhong said with a smile: "We held an internal meeting last night to count the annual allocation of the Fire Country to Konoha, and then allocate it to various departments, and then we found that the money Not only is it enough, but it’s also extra.”

"Not only can it be used to implement nine-year compulsory education, but it can also be used to build bridges and pave roads to build up Konoha."

"I don't know what the situation was like before. It's obviously the same amount of money, so why hasn't Konoha changed?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned pale and he didn't want to talk to this old subordinate at all, so he turned around and went upstairs.

"It seems that Yuhi Zhenhong has also betrayed you!" Behind the back, Xiaochun, who was sleeping, whispered.

"Without the protection of our Sarutobi clan, the Yuhi clan would have been wiped out long ago!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said fiercely: "It has only been a day since I abdicated the throne, and he has so decisively surrendered to the new Hokage. These people are simply ungrateful. The white-eyed wolf!"

When he went to bed, Xiaochun sneered, still ungrateful.

Six people and five are corrupt. Ren Xiri Zhenhong has been working here for more than ten years, but I haven’t gotten a penny from you.

How unfortunate it is to be blessed by your Sarutobi clan!

The sneer was not loud, but it was so obvious in the quiet corridor.

The three of them paused at the same time, but no one spoke.

However, the atmosphere behind it was obviously much more serious.

It wasn't until the three of them got to the second floor that Hiruzen Sarutobi discovered that the entire wall of the utility room next to the office had been removed and replaced with transparent glass.

Behind the glass, there is a little girl lying on her stomach, seemingly doing her homework?

"Anko Mitarashi?" Hiruzen Sarutobi recognized the little girl and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Be a secretary!" Hongdou pointed to the sign hanging next to the glass door.

Konoha City Hokage Confidential Secretariat.

"Secretary? What is this?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

"It's a position to help the Hokage handle affairs!" Hongdou said: "There are so many things in Konoha every day, some important, some unimportant, some involving military affairs, and some involving people's livelihood. I have to organize these things according to categories. Separate the severity from the severity and then leave it to the Hokage to deal with!"

"This position is great!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized the importance of this job.

While not affecting your power, it can also greatly reduce your workload!

Why didn’t I think of that back then?

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little distressed inexplicably. These should all belong to me, belong to me!

"Is the Fourth Hokage here?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.

"Yes, I'll help you pass the news!" Hongdou immediately stood up and trotted all the way to open a door next to him.

Only then did Sarutobi Hiruzen realize that the door that originally led to the Hokage's office had been sealed, but instead a new door had been opened in the Secretariat.

Fortunately they stayed here, otherwise they would have to break in?

"Teacher, I was just looking for you!" After a while, Orochimaru, with a smile on his face and wearing only an ordinary white coat without the Hokage hat or the God of God robe, walked out: "I found that there is a person with a seal in this office. The room that is sealed by magic, I wonder what is in this room? What is the method to unseal it?"

"Uh" Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated for a moment.

This room not only contains the secret treasure of Konoha Village: the Sealed Book.

It also stores most of the ninjutsu in Konoha, including the secret techniques of the major ninja clans.

For example, the Nara clan's secret technique of shadow, the Akimichi clan's secret technique, etc.

This is the biggest secret of Konoha Village and the last authority of the Hokage.

As long as this seal is handed over, it is equivalent to handing over the position of Hokage completely!

He was unwilling to give up, but there was nothing he could do.

Even if he planned to find villagers to blackmail Orochimaru, even if he planned to criticize Orochimaru's policies, he had to admit that as long as Orochimaru did not make any major mistakes, the position of Hokage would be secure.

How can a dignified Hokage be pushed down so easily?

If he hadn't been too greedy and offended too many groups, he would still be the Third Hokage now!

"Wait a minute, I will teach you!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"Okay!" Orochimaru nodded and asked with a smile: "Come in and talk."

Sarutobi Hiruzen followed Orochimaru into the office and immediately discovered that this office had also been hacked!

The biggest difference is that there is a huge floor-to-ceiling window behind the desk.

Bright natural light shines in, so the office doesn’t need to turn on the lights during the day.

In addition, there are two more sofas and a tea table opposite the desk, giving visiting guests a place to sit.

Unlike before, you either stand or kneel.

Finally, in addition to the portraits of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage, there was a third Hokage on the wall.

Sarutobi Hiruzen inexplicably understood a line of poetry that he had previously dismissed.

Things are the same and people are not the same. Everything stops. If you want to speak, you will shed tears first.

In just two days, all traces of my life in this building have been eliminated!

"Teacher, I wonder if the three of you are visiting. What's the matter?" Orochimaru motioned for the three of them to sit down, and Anko served tea to the three of them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen subconsciously picked up the tea and took a sip.

Inexplicably, he felt a little nervous.

It turns out that everyone else feels like this when facing Naruto!

He didn't say anything, but Koharu was not afraid to go to bed. He asked directly: "The Fourth Hokage, I don't know what the financial department you set up means? In the past, the allocation of the daimyo was managed by our elders!"

"Go to bed, Koharu-senpai!" Orochimaru asked with a smile: "Are you good at managing money?"

"Of course!" Xiaochun nodded proudly when he went to bed: "I have been managing for more than ten years!"
