To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

Orochimaru patted Uchiha Shigeka's shoulder and said, "Let's go, you and I will go to the meeting room together."

Uchiha Shigeka looked thoughtful. Hearing this, he nodded and followed Orochimaru to the meeting room.

On the way, they met other jonin.

"Orochimaru-senpai!? I didn't expect you to be back from the front lines."

"What is the current situation on the front line?"

"Logistics, is there a problem with logistics? If there is a problem, we will improve it immediately..."

When these senior ninjas saw Orochimaru, they surrounded him and asked him all kinds of questions.

A few were people who admired and followed Orochimaru, and most came to ask about various details on the battlefield front.

"Zhonghua...oh, no, now I'm calling you the Uchiha clan leader."

A senior jonin who was familiar with Uchiha Shigeka joked.

Uchiha Shigeka turned around and said with a smile: "Senior, you are being distant now. Clan leader is just a job. Senior, you should just call me Shigeka. It sounds more intimate."

"Haha, you see, I told you that Chonghua is not the kind of person you imagined." The senior jonin smiled at the others beside him, "Now you know everything? Chonghua's identity has only changed. He is still the warm and gentle Chonghua as before."

His words made the other jonin, who were still a little reserved, breathe a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and smiled.

After putting aside the slight discomfort caused by the change in their identities and status, they started talking with Uchiha Shigeka.

"Chonghua, how does it feel to be the clan leader?"

"To be honest, it's very tiring. There are endless files to read every day."

"Zhonghua, I see that the police force has become more lenient in enforcing the law. Is this the change you made?"

"Well, the villagers have a bad misunderstanding of the police force. I think it is also the bad impression left by the rough law enforcement of the police force in the past. Now that I have become the tribe leader, I must not let this misunderstanding continue."

A senior jonin gave a thumbs up and said, "Well done, haha, I didn't expect that at your young age you could make those unruly Uchiha clan members obey you. That's amazing!"

"Hey, is there anything wrong with saying this in front of Chonghua?"

Uchiha Shigeka chuckled and replied, "There's nothing wrong with that. This is how everyone sees our Uchiha clan. But I think that with my efforts, everyone will be able to change their previous bad impression of the Uchiha clan."

These words were met with admiration from everyone in the group.

"Come on, Shigeka, I believe you can do it!" A senior jonin encouraged, "You are the hero who ended the war, the genius of Konoha, and the youngest jonin. If even you can't do it, then no one else can!"

Uchiha Shigeka smiled and nodded: "Well, thank you for the encouragement, seniors."

The group of people came to the conference room, chatting and laughing with Orochimaru and Uchiha Shigeka.

As soon as he entered the conference room, Uchiha Shigeka heard a voice as clear as a yellow oriole.

"Chonghua, here!"

Tsunade beckoned Uchiha Shigeka to come over.

Uchiha Shigeka said something to the seniors around him and then came to Tsunade.

As soon as he sat down, Tsunade hugged Uchiha Shigeka.

Uchiha Shigeka's eyes moved. Tsunade was wearing casual clothes today, and this hug made him accidentally touch some soft spots.

[This feels... a little bigger than before. ]

Tsunade leaned close to Uchiha Shigeka's ear and whispered to him, "Shigeka, during the meeting later, I will propose to reform the ninja team system and increase the number of medical ninja teams. You must support me!"

"Tsunade-sensei, don't worry. I will definitely stand with you!"

Uchiha Shigeka made a promise.

Tsunade smiled with satisfaction and let go of Uchiha Shigeka. She turned around to contact Orochimaru.

Uchiha Shigeka suppressed the restlessness and a trace of regret in his heart and shook his head with emotion.

——He has reached the age where his body and mind are becoming restless.

In order to divert his attention, Uchiha Shigeka began to look at the people around him. This look made his eyes suddenly fixed.

He was a man with long aqua blue hair and a handsome face.

When the man saw Uchiha Shigeka looking at him, he smiled friendly. Uchiha Shigeka smiled back and turned his head away.

Kato Dan.

I didn't see him in the previous jonin meetings. Did he become a jonin recently?

Tsunade's lover in the original work, but died on the front line during the Second Ninja World War.

Well, the second victim of the death necklace.

Uchiha Shigeka went over Kato Dan's information in his mind and then put it out of his mind, not caring about it anymore.

The world has long been changed beyond recognition because of him, and the course of the Second Ninja World War was also different under his influence.

Whether Kato Dan will die in the Second Ninja World War...it's hard to say.

As for becoming Tsunade-sensei's lover - Uchiha Shigeka glanced at Tsunade who was talking to Orochimaru.

As long as Rope Tree hadn't died, Tsunade wouldn't have felt lonely.

The situation of the Second Ninja World War was not as serious as in the original work. Konoha had the resources and spare capacity to support Tsunade's plan to expand and train medical ninjas.

I don't think it will end up like in the original novel where no one supports her.

The corner of Uchiha Shigeka's mouth curled up.

——Becoming Tsunade-sensei's lover? Kato Dan has no chance.

......

"...I propose to assign a medical ninja to each team, so that when a companion is injured, he can be treated in time and save his life."

Tsunade stood up and told everyone present about the necessity of deploying medical ninjas.

The people present couldn't help but nod their heads as they listened, and some of them seemed to recall the past and expressed sighs.

"...This war with the enemy country fully exposed our insufficient number of medical ninjas, insufficient reserves of medical supplies, and insufficient medical knowledge of frontline ninjas."

"If there was a medical ninja in the ninja team carrying out the mission, there wouldn't be so many casualties."

"It is not easy to train Konoha ninjas. The deployment of medical ninjas can ensure the survival rate of Konoha ninjas and thus improve the efficiency of completing tasks."

Tsunade took a deep breath and said, "In short, I think we should invest resources to train and expand the medical ninja team!"

After hearing what Tsunade said, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped his fingers on the table and said something that surprised Tsunade.

"I'm sorry, Tsunade, your suggestion is good, but only part of it can be adopted."

......

Chapter 190: Some Proposals on the Training and Expansion of Medical Ninjas

boom!

Tsunade slammed the table, her face full of confusion: "Why? Old man, my proposal will not harm Konoha, why don't you pass it?"

The other jonin also looked puzzled. They listened to Tsunade's proposal and knew that if it was implemented, the Konoha ninjas could reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties.

As long as people are alive, the efficiency of completing tasks can be improved.

After all, it is more cost-effective to have durable and long-lasting tools than to have them damaged and unusable.

But some of the jonin had flickering eyes, as if they were thinking about something.

Orochimaru glanced at Tsunade who was confused. This was the first time he listened to Tsunade's proposal in its entirety.

After hearing this, Orochimaru shook his head in his heart.

——The theory is good, but there are problems in implementation. The old man will definitely not agree.

However, Tsunade was a little anxious.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not say anything final.

Facing a group of jonin, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a slow and leisurely explanation.

"Tsunade, ninja teams mostly engage in surprise attacks, and there are rarely any protracted battles." Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Apart from the part of gathering intelligence, battles between ninjas usually decide the winner in a short period of time, either the enemy dies or we die. Tsunade, this means that the medical ninjas have limited room to maneuver."

After all, the amount of chakra of individual ninjas varies, and it is difficult for most people to sustain a long fight.

In a life-and-death battle, Sarutobi Hiruzen had doubts as to whether the medical ninja could rescue his companions in time.

"...The fact that there are few protracted battles doesn't mean there won't be any. Besides, even if the medical ninjas can't come to the rescue in a quick battle, it's better than nothing."

"After all, there are comrades who are seriously injured but not dead. This is not uncommon on the front lines. It's good to save these people!"

Tsunade retorted.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, "Then let me tell you another reason. Tsunade, are you using yourself as a standard to measure other medical ninjas?"

"Other medical ninjas are different from you. There is an indisputable fact that everyone knows. Apart from individual cases like you and Chonghua, the average medical ninja has low combat capabilities and poor self-protection capabilities."

"According to what you said, if a team of four is assigned one medical ninja, then this medical ninja will need extra teammates to protect him. This means that a team instantly loses two positions, and the combat effectiveness is reduced by half."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Tsunade's suddenly changed face and said, "A medical ninja like you who can fight, doesn't need protection from others, and has advanced medical skills... this is a bit too much to ask."

"They have spent all their energy on medical skills. If we send these medical ninjas to the battlefield, they will probably become a burden to the team."

Tsunade's face looked a little grim, but she admitted that the old man had a point.

She asked herself if she was measuring her standards against all medical ninjas.

The answer is yes.

Tsunade's heart sank, and she drily gave an example: "When we were fighting Chiyo's troops, the medical ninja played a significant role..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted Tsunade and said, "I know, it was when everyone was poisoned that you went to the battlefield to deliver the antidote, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, "So I say that part of your proposal can be adopted."

"Ok?"

Tsunade looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in confusion, which made the other party burst into laughter.

"Tsunade, when will you change your impatience and listen to what I say completely?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Medical ninjas must be trained and expanded. The temporary hospital on the front line is short of staff and resources. Moreover, it is not just the front line. Due to the deployment of medical ninjas, the medical resources of the Konoha Hospital in the village are also tight, making it difficult for villagers to see a doctor."

"All of this shows that Konoha is in urgent need of a large number of medical ninjas. Tsunade, I agree with you on this. I will increase investment and entrust you to train some medical ninjas for Konoha to solve the problem of war and the shortage of civilian medical resources."

"What about the frontline fighters?"

Although not all proposals were adopted, fortunately the general policy of expanding the training of medical ninjas was passed.

But Tsunade is still concerned about the injuries of frontline fighters.

Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled: "The combatants' affairs should be resolved by the combatants."

"This will require you medical ninjas to take some time out of your spare time to teach these combatants more about first aid."

Sarutobi Hiruzen blinked and smiled, "Or, you can also train medical ninjas who specialize in first aid. Medical skills don't need to be too high, as long as they have a certain ability to protect themselves. I think this won't be difficult for you."

Tsunade's eyes lit up and she quickly said, "Why didn't I think of this? This is possible!"

"Well, Tsunade, it seems that you agree with my suggestion for change?"

Tsunade nodded hurriedly: "Of course I agree! Old man, you think more comprehensively than I do."

After Sarutobi Hiruzen convinced Tsunade, he looked at everyone and said, "What about you? Do you have any different opinions?"

After everyone looked at each other, they realized that they had already supported Tsunade's proposal, and now that the two had reached a consensus, they naturally had no objections.

In this way, several proposals regarding the training and expansion of future medical ninjas were passed.

Tsunade sat down happily, and Uchiha Shigeka's voice sounded at the right time, congratulating her with joy.

"Teacher Tsunade, congratulations, your proposal has been approved!"

Tsunade smiled and nodded, her eyes as bright as jade: "Well, you are indeed an old man, you are more thoughtful than me. I admit that I took it for granted."

Uchiha Shigeka looked at Tsunade who was immersed in joy, and thought, maybe the original work was just too theoretical, and the Hidden Leaf Village at that time did not have the spare energy to support it like it does now, so it was no wonder that no one supported it because it was so difficult to implement.

Thinking of this, Kato Dan, as the only person supporting Tsunade, became extremely prominent and attracted people's attention.

Uchiha Shigeka glanced at Kato Dan without leaving a trace.

Does he really have a dream of becoming Hokage, and will he support any proposal that can make the village better? Or does he have other intentions in getting close to Teacher Tsunade?

"Do you have any other proposals to make? If not, we should move on to the next topic."
