Not even the pharmacist Nonoyu expected that such an introverted child would suddenly have the idea of becoming a ninja.
Just like before, Danzo explained to all the children in the orphanage that he wanted to choose one. When he entered the root, all the children were resistant and silent, but only Kabuto volunteered.
In any case, Namikaze Minato was overjoyed that Kabuto was willing to become a ninja.
"Very good. After the orphanage is officially moved to Konoha Village, I will personally send you to the ninja school."
Namikaze Minato smiled and was in a good mood.
"Personally..., Hokage-sama, are you kidding me?" Yakushi Nonoyu looked surprised, as if a little unbelievable.
The Fourth Hokage was willing to help bring the orphanage into Konoha and provide funding, which was already a great favor. Now he even had to personally send children who were willing to become ninjas to enroll in school. Such a level of attention even her, the dean, was a little uneasy.
She felt so sorry that she didn't even believe what she was hearing.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about these things. Just prepare for the relocation in the next two days.
As for the site selection in the village, I will make arrangements for you tomorrow at the latest..."
Namikaze Minato waved his hand indifferently.
Seeing that the Fourth Hokage insisted on doing this, Nonoyu couldn't say anything.
In order to allow pharmacist Nonou, who is the dean, enough time to arrange the relocation, Minato Namikaze specially approved three days of leave for him.
In this way, Kabuto's matter finally came to an end.
After returning home that night, Namikaze Minato took out a map of Konoha and studied the location of the orphanage.
According to the plan, he plans to include more children in this orphanage in the future. Therefore, the location must be as large as possible.
The current Konoha Village is a village that leans against the cliff and spreads out in a fan shape.
After 48 years of development, this place has developed from a forest to its current scale. The large area of virgin forest in the center has been cut down and transformed into residential streets.
The only place that can still see what Konoha looked like before the village was founded is the area known as the Forest of Death.
In the early days, the Death Forest area was not developed because the village had a limited population and could not expand there. Later, it became a trial place because of special needs.
After studying the map for a long time, Namikaze Minato finally found a place in a remote corner of the village in the northeast corner. After finalizing the site, all he had to do now was wait for the proposal to be approved at the high-level meeting tomorrow.
…
The second day.
Hokage Building, inside the conference hall.
When Namikaze Shuimen brought up the issue of the orphanage, the opinions of everyone present did not show one-sided opposition.
Surprisingly, the proposal to establish an orphanage in the village was quickly approved, but the matter of sponsoring the children there to enroll in a ninja school met with opposition.
Except for Danzo, who advocated harsh rule, and Mito Kaden, the advisor, who disagreed, Koharu, who was transferred to the dormitory, and Nara Shikaku, the jounin representative, one remained silent and the other expressed approval.
"Yondaime, the village cannot afford the money to support the children in the orphanage to go to school. I hope you can understand this."
Mito Monobu's expression was very serious, and his tone clearly left no room for negotiation.
"There are funds to train those children who don't know their roots. Why don't you think about the reasons why the Daimyos of the Land of Fire have repeatedly delayed sending military funds to Konoha recently."
Shimura Danzo was as usual, with a sullen face, as if someone owed money but had not yet paid it.
It seems that his ability to endure the establishment of an orphanage in the village is his limit.
The proposal was opposed by the Hokage's assistants and advisors, which was actually expected by Minato Namikaze. The Country of Fire was wealthy, and Konoha was indeed the number one ninja village on the surface, but time had changed, and after several
Three ninja wars in the past ten years, especially the last Nine-Tails Rebellion, have severely damaged Konoha's vitality. It is not an exaggeration to say that the village has entered an unprecedented period of weakness.
Therefore, Konoha at this stage is actually a bit stretched in all aspects, not to mention economically.
Danzo, who had the false reputation of being the Hokage's assistant, actually had no regard for Namikaze Minato's objections. After all, after the last Uchiha incident, the two had already fallen out due to their political opinions, and now their relationship is no longer the same.
It's just passable on the surface.
But he still had to respect the opinions of the two consultants.
Because, the two consultants and Danzo are actually completely different.
The so-called advisory position is mainly responsible for managing Konoha's government agencies on weekdays, and making the most beneficial decisions for the village when there are major events in the village.
Because the two were good at calm analysis and experienced, and they were disciples of the second generation and contemporaries of the third generation, they won the trust of the predecessor Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. Of course, the main reason why they hold such important positions in the top management is
Because he is recognized by the vast majority of jounin and has sufficient seniority.
In this respect, Danzo is far behind.
The reputation of the Pot King is not very good even within Konoha, among the villagers and Jonin.
This is also an important reason why in the original work, he took advantage of Tsunade's coma and took office as the temporary Hokage. He could only be regarded as the 5.5th generation and was not recognized by future generations.
"If the issue of military expenditures that have not yet been released can be solved, I think it is not impossible to select some children with innocent backgrounds from the orphanage to serve Konoha..." Koharu, who turned to bed with half-white hair, expressed a different opinion tactfully.
.
Normally, the opinions of the two consultants will not conflict with each other.
But today, there seems to be some exceptions.
"It seems that the current problem is mainly related to funding..." Namikaze Minato pretended to sigh, and then added: "The problem of the daimyo's delay in military expenditure really needs to be solved."
"Why don't you, Lord Danzo, go to Daming Mansion in person to understand the specific situation..."
Minato Namikaze, who had been mentally prepared for the fact that the decision to support the orphanage could not be approved, calmly posed a difficult problem to the pot king.
As soon as he finished speaking, Danzo's expression changed slightly.
Going to a daimyo to urge military spending is certainly a thankless job.
After the previous Ninja World War, when the Daimyos of the Land of Fire were dissatisfied with the results and the performance of Konoha, they would behave like this. Under normal circumstances, if they went to ask for military expenses, they would be scolded and questioned.
However, in order to obtain military funds, those who came to urge them had to treat them nicely.
This time, the Fire Nation daimyo who delayed military expenditures for nearly half a month was probably dissatisfied with the impact and losses caused by the previous Kyuubi incident.
