"Red, it's better to stop joking like this. The appointment of the Medical Department must be made by the Fifth Generation. Otherwise, if this word gets out, Tsunade-sama will feel very uncomfortable and be suspected of being forced."
Yuhi Hong put her hands together and begged Shizune to forgive her.
What can Shizune do? Of course, forgive her!
After all, it was a joke between friends, and Shizune knew that Kurenai didn't mean it that way.
Just in case, Shizune felt that this kind of joke should not be made.
Although for the position of the head of the medical department, let alone Konoha, there is no more suitable candidate in the entire ninja world than Tsunade-sama.
But the final personnel appointment still depends on the attitude of the fifth generation.
Everyone chatted, and Kai ate the barbecue the fastest, and no one else could grill it in time. This aroused everyone's dissatisfaction, and Kai had to drink for a while.
No one mentioned the decision-making of the fifth generation, although many of them were promoted after the fifth generation came to power.
For example, Kakashi is the head of the ninjutsu department, Kai is the deputy head of the taijutsu department, Kurenai is the head of the genjutsu department, etc.
Mitarai Anko returned to Orochimaru's staff as an assistant in the R&D department.
"Today's life has improved." Anko sighed. She once hated Orochimaru. Not only was Orochimaru's experiment completely keeping her disciple in the dark, but also why did Orochimaru abandon her when he defected?
But Orochimaru came back and took charge of the R&D department. She was also arranged by the fifth generation to join the R&D department as Orochimaru's assistant.
Even though he is not very qualified, Hongdou is studying hard and thinks that he is not as good as Kabuto, but he is definitely more qualified than Xiang Lu and Zhongwu.
Although the research tasks were all handled by Orochimaru and Kabuto, and occasionally the Fifth Generation would do it himself, their assistants were basically engaged in health and security and had no research tasks.
This is exactly what Hong Dou, Xiang Phosphorus and the others want. If they really arranged to do research, they would not be blind.
Hearing Hongdou's emotion, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they seemed to have their own opinions.

A group of young people gathered for dinner in a newly opened barbecue branch of the Akimichi family.
Because there were too many people, they chose to share a table.
Naruto's noisy voice can be heard on the street.
There are the twelve young heroes of Konoha, as well as those young people who follow Orochimaru, Kimimaro, Koso, and Jugo. Kabuto is older and too mature, and has nothing in common with these young people.
Naruto has been out for a long time and is very excited to return to Konoha for the first time. He misses the taste of Konoha barbecue and Ichiraku Ramen, so he decided to eat ten bowls tomorrow!
Sasuke was still cold, and snorted from his nose when he saw the noisy Naruto beside him.
Sakura, Ino, and Kaoru held their faces in their hands, their pretty faces flushed.
Shikamaru chuckled, "Women are trouble."
He quickly picked up a piece of grilled meat with his hands and feet. Choji couldn't eat it if he didn't move quickly.
There are also Naruto, Xiao Li, Jugo, and Ya, all of them move very fast, as if they are fighting.
I hold my forehead every day and am speechless. How many days have these guys not eaten?
Neji looked calm and stopped paying attention to Miss Hinata.
He also heard about Godai's attitude. If he could really get rid of the caged bird...
Thinking about it, Ningci felt hot in his heart.
Although he still takes care of Hinata and Hanabi, his two younger sisters, it is out of his brother's concern rather than the forced dedication of a domestic servant.
Hinata, of course, did not have Neji either. She occasionally glanced at Naruto secretly and lowered her head shyly.
Shino and Kimimaro had the least presence, but their bowls of grilled meat were piled on top of each other, which seemed insignificant, but in fact they ate no less than Choji.
Of course, in the end, in front of Choji, Naruto and the others, they still had to accept defeat in terms of food intake.
The only one who could compete with those two guys was Hinata.
Everyone else was cheering on the side. Hinata's face was very red, but her movements were not slow. Choji looked at her and Naruto's eyes twitched.
In the end, Hinata was better and won the title of "Big Eater King".
Choji, Naruto lay on the table with a disgusted look on his face, feeling a little nauseous.
Hinata crossed her fingers and said shyly:
"I...can I have some more?"
"What??" A group of people were shocked.
This is a gathering of young people. There is no discrimination or worries. The decisions made by the higher-ups have nothing to do with them yet.
The new generation of Konoha is also growing up, and they have harmonious relationships and get along harmoniously. Cao Ya is very happy to see this scene.

Outside Konoha Village, somewhere in an uninhabited forest.
Whoosh!
The figure flashed, the golden light disappeared in an instant, and Cao Ya arrived at the agreed place.
"Five generations."
Someone spoke from behind the big tree, and then a figure turned out, wearing a black red cloud robe, with shoulder-length black hair, a tear trough on his face, and a melancholy and calm expression.
Cao Ya turned around, smiled slightly and said:
"Itachi, the medical department has made some progress in their research on your illness. Now that Tsunade is back, the progress should be accelerated."
Itachi was silent for a few seconds and said:
"Thank you, but no need."
He suffers from an incurable disease, and after joining the Akatsuki organization, due to frequent missions, he overused the Mangekyo Sharingan, which consumed too much pupil power. Now he can no longer see things in the distance clearly, and even close up.
Everything I could see was a little blurry.
Itachi didn't have any special feelings. He lived firstly for Konoha to find out information about the Akatsuki organization, and secondly for Sasuke.
When he was about to go blind, he dug out his eyes to help Sasuke advance to the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Then he can die calmly.
Living in this world is actually torture for Itachi.
Triple torture of the soul, mind, and body.
Cao Ya was familiar with the Akatsuki organization, and in fact, there was no need for Itachi to get information at all.
However, this is Itachi's mission after all. If he abolishes it, where will Itachi go?
Back to Konoha?
There is no going back for Itachi now.
This mission is one of the pillars of Itachi's existence.
Moreover, he has dominated Konoha and will start the reform of the ninja world. When the time comes, he will still need Itachi's information on the movements of the Akatsuki organization.
Furthermore, Itachi didn't want to return to Konoha.
Even though Itachi deeply loves Konoha.
Itachi's mission was originally to contact the third generation directly. When the third generation disappeared, Itachi was at a loss for a while. He could only secretly contact the newly appointed fifth generation to try. Unexpectedly, the fifth generation had a very good attitude. He also attached great importance to Sasuke, vigorously cultivated him, and even offered to help.
He solves physical problems.
Undoubtedly, Itachi was deeply moved.
The previous three generations couldn't do this either.
Itachi saw the prosperity of Konoha in recent years and was happy from the bottom of his heart. He loved Konoha infinitely.
Itachi contacted the Hokage alone, but no one knew his identity except the Hokage.
"The news of Konoha's next meeting has spread to the Ninja world, and Akatsuki has taken action." Itachi said concisely and concisely, "Konoha has attracted the attention of the Ninja world, and Pain decided to take this opportunity to start collecting tailed beasts."
Cao Ya felt that Nagato's decision was unexpected but reasonable.
This is indeed a good opportunity for Xiao.
Itachi hesitated for a moment.
Cao Ya smiled and said:
"If you have anything to say, just say it, it doesn't matter."
Itachi still said without hesitation:
"Godai, I think your decision was too risky and made Konoha the target of public criticism."
At the same time, Itachi was quite confused:
"And why did you deliberately spread the word and arouse the hostility of the ninja world?"
