"Second, the arrangements for our generation of ninjas."
After a pause, Akira Hatake's speech continued.
"The young and middle-aged ninjas of Konoha are still the backbone of the village, but the backbone also has its uses."
"I believe that many people have a worry, that is, they feel that they cannot fully display their abilities."
“Even if you give it your all, there are still worries about the sacrifices that may come after.”
"But I'm here to tell you that all your previous worries will become a thing of the past!"
"As long as you think about contributing to the village, the village will give you corresponding rewards."
"The scope of rewards includes, but is not limited to: the right to select from the Ninja Library, generous monetary rewards, generous death compensation, and compensation for the entire family if one person sacrifices and the inheritance of the corresponding merits of the sacrificed ninja."
"So, you can be confident and treat the village with all your passion, because the village will not let your efforts and sacrifices become meaningless!"
"Moreover, this rule will be written into the New Will of Fire. It will become an iron rule among Konoha's many policies that will never be changed, never watered down, and never invalidated!"
"As long as Konoha lasts, everyone will be able to enjoy this treatment forever!"
Snap, snap, snap...!
As the last syllable of Hatake Akira's words fell, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.
Many people's hands turned red from clapping but they still continued to clap, as if only through this behavior could they express the excitement in their hearts.
The applause continued for a long time, and even though Hatake Akira raised his hand to suppress it, he was unable to stop it immediately with his current prestige.
Hatake Akira repeated the action of raising his hand and pressing down several times before he managed to calm the audience down again.
"Third, the final destination of the older generation of ninjas."
"The meaning of 'end' doesn't just mean death, it also means continuing to make use of the remaining energy of the older generation of ninjas."
"Inheritance is the ultimate reason why a super hidden village has been prosperous for so long, and there is no other reason!"
"The older generation of ninjas are mostly those who have survived wars or carried out many dangerous missions."
"They know when to hide, when to strike, when to retreat, and when to turn around and strike back."
"It can be said that the reason they have survived until now, in addition to strength, luck and strategy, is the courage to judge the situation and the determination to burn their boats."
"No one can deny this. This is true for me and everyone present here."
"So how can we make the older generation of ninjas give full play to their remaining energy, rather than putting the cart before the horse and reversing history like the Sandaime Hokage did?"
Hatake Akira brought up Sarutobi Hiruzen as an example again, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had not yet left, feel a little numb, and as if he was nailed to the pillar of shame.
After giving a brief example of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hatake Akira went on to talk about his own solution.
"First, the Ninja School will conduct real combat classes, with the older generation of ninjas developing the curriculum, directing the drills, and finally conducting a simulation summary."
"No one can make comments on this because the new generation has no say without having experienced war. Everything is just talk."
"Secondly, the Ninja School will also start new courses, the main content of which will be similar to lectures, and will be led by the older generation of ninjas themselves."
"Finally, the older generation of ninjas will receive medals based on their previous achievements, allowing them to be respected and treated with respect by the entire village."
"Thanks……"
"Thank you, Master Ming..."
As soon as Hatake Akira finished speaking, some of the surviving older generation ninjas burst into tears, with their red eyes showing their gratitude towards Hatake Akira.
In the ninja world, ninjas whose strength declines and who are gradually entering old age will completely bid farewell to the crowd and fade away alone, unless they hold important positions.
This is helpless, but also inevitable.
Because strength is everything in the ninja world. Without strength, you will be like a weed on the roadside and no one will care about you.
Let's talk about some more realistic issues. The older generation of ninjas are no longer able to carry out missions. If they can't carry out missions, they can't get commissions. Without commissions, the village's income will decline.
With such a realistic problem in mind, it would be strange if the village could treat the older generation of ninjas well!
Hatake Akira's third strategy undoubtedly solved the dilemma of the older generation of ninjas. It not only allowed them to shine, but also gave them a second spring.
People are not afraid of being idle, but they are afraid of being useless. This kind of spiritual emptiness will become more and more intense as they grow older.
Hatake Akira's move can be regarded as a solution to the psychological problems of the older generation of ninjas.
After the three measures were introduced, Hatake Akira united the new, young and old generations of Konoha. Only at this moment did Konoha truly become united and work together to achieve success.
"Master Ming!"
"Master Ming!"
"Master Ming!"
When Akira Hatake finished his speech and bowed to the audience, the audience cheered again.
This time there was no hysterical shouting, no boiling blood, but only conviction and admiration for Hatake Akira.
After bowing again to express his gratitude, Akira Hatake looked at Minato Namikaze, who nodded and took over Akira Hatake's shift, walking towards the podium.
Next, it will be Minato Namikaze's home court, and Hatake Akira can finally take a break.
"what?"
After Hatake Akira stepped down, he felt like someone was staring at him.
With a slight exclamation, Hatake Akira turned his head and looked back based on his feeling.
The next second, their eyes met, and Hatake Akira saw deep love and admiration in the girl's eyes.
It's sunset red.
Ignoring Yuhi Shinku who was standing next to Yuhi Kurenai, Hatake Akira smiled at Yuhi Kurenai and made a heart shape with his hand to her.
This gesture is almost universal. Even if it is separated by a dimension or a world, anyone with a decent brain can immediately understand the meaning of the heart gesture.
Yuhi Kurenai was certainly not stupid. Her sensitive heart made her immediately understand the meaning of Hatake Akira's heart-shaped gesture.
The little face suddenly turned red, like a ripe apple, making people want to go over and take a bite.
After the brief feeling of embarrassment passed, Yuhi Kurenai plucked up the courage, imitated Hatake Akira's actions, and also gave Hatake Akira a heart gesture with her hands.
Reaching out his hand, Hatake Akira held the imaginary red heart in his palm with great care, and then slowly patted it on his chest.
"Bad guy..."
After seeing what Hatake Akira did, Yuhi Kurenai's mind became a mess. She looked at Yuhi Shinku who was standing next to her, and her hands pinched the corners of her clothes uncontrollably, and she glanced at Hatake Akira shyly.
Akira Hatake saw all of Yuhi Kurenai's expressions and movements, which made him feel a little funny.
He didn't expect that a heart-shaped gesture could cause such a big reaction from Xihi Kurenai.
Reaching out and touching his nose, Hatake Akira made a gesture to Yuhi Kurenai, the meaning of which the latter understood immediately.
Although she was a little embarrassed, Kurenai still nodded to Hatake Akira imperceptibly...
Chapter 260: I don’t know where the love comes from, but it is deep and lasting.
The memorial ceremony for the sacrificed ninjas of Konoha ended perfectly. Konoha ushered in a new will of fire and unprecedented unity.
There is no infighting among the Konoha high-level officials, no barriers among the Konoha ninjas, and all the villagers of Konoha are full of hope for life.
This is what Konoha should look like.
Thanks to Akira Hatake's hard work, he finally reaped a good harvest.
But after the harvest, there will inevitably be a period of digestion, and Hatake Akira naturally has a reason to be lazy.
Hatake Akira's life is about to get back on track and enter the life he has always dreamed of.
When the crowd at Konoha Memorial Garden dispersed, Akira Hatake sent Kakashi away and followed the crowd to the Konoha Commercial Street, which he was once very familiar with.
There are so many memories here that he can't help but stop there, as if waiting for happiness to knock on the door.
"Master Ming."
"Um?!"
A playful voice came from behind him, and Hatake Akira immediately recognized the identity of the person, but he did not expose it immediately.
"Is there a problem?"
He didn't turn around, and his voice was a little cold. The aura of the superior was firmly grasped by Akira Hatake.
"Hatake Akira, you're so annoying!"
Hatake Akira's question made Yuhi Kurenai feel like someone had stepped on her tail, and she shouted out in frustration.
Without waiting for Hatake Akira to make any move, Yuhi Kurenai took a step forward, got close to Hatake Akira, tiptoed and put her hands around Hatake Akira's neck.
Because of the height difference, Xi Rihong's behavior was a bit weird, but it was suitable for her age.
"Cough cough."
Hatake Akira coughed a few times, and his already protruding Adam's apple rolled up and down, feeling a little uncomfortable being held by Yuhiko's smooth arms.
"red?"
However, Hatake Akira continued to tease Yuhi Kurenai. His look of waking up from a dream made Yuhi Kurenai behind him even more relentless.
Her arms continued to exert force, and Xihihong gritted her teeth in hatred.
"You're amazing! We haven't seen each other for less than a year, and you can't even recognize my voice!"
"It was only because you called me 'Master Ming' first that I..."
"Quibbling!" Yuhi Kurenai laid on Hatake Akira's back, holding Hatake Akira's neck even tighter. She did not notice that she was different now.
It is said that the girl next door has grown up. While she is youthful and beautiful, her charm is also increasing day by day.
Feeling Yuhi Kurenai lying on his back, Hatake Akira's heart moved slightly.
After not seeing her for a year, Xi Ri Hong has really grown up...
With a sigh in his heart, Hatake Akira grabbed Yuhi Kurenai's arm, then suddenly bent down, grabbed her knee with his other hand, and carried Yuhi Kurenai on his back.
Feeling the momentary stiffness of Yuhi Kurenai on his back, Hatake Akira felt amused.
He moved it up and down as if to play a naughty trick, causing Xihihong's originally stiff body to fall completely on his back.
"Ming, put me down..."
