Chapter 249: The Master Behind Konoha
Chapter 249: The Master Behind the Scenes of Konoha (Part and )
early morning.
Tsunade felt a special chakra fluctuation and opened her eyes.
She yawned and subconsciously looked towards the window.
She was very familiar with this chakra fluctuation, it was Wood Release.
No need to think, she knew who it was.
Tsunade stood up and took off her kimono-style pajamas.
A plump and round body with skin as white as snow was exposed in the air.
A light fragrance blooms.
Tsunade reached out and gathered her golden hair together, creating some waves as she did so.
She put on her clothes and went to the window.
Hanekawa came into her sight in the open space outside the house.
He was practicing Wood Release, using Wood Release: Great Forest Technique.
Transforms his right arm into multiple wooden vine branches to capture enemies.
Although Tsunade had never learned Wood Release, she was very familiar with it, so she recognized it at first sight.
A faint smile appeared on her face.
It’s been a long time since I last used Wood Release.
Tsunade remembered seeing a similar scene when she was a child.
But the feeling that Hanekawa and Senju Hashirama gave her was completely different.
Tsunade subconsciously reached out and touched her forehead, remembering the kiss from before.
Her heart trembled slightly.
"good morning teacher."
Hanekawa turned around and showed a sunny smile.
Tsunade even felt her heart beating faster.
She realized something, but still nodded with a normal expression.
"Teacher, there is a document on the table, can you help me take a look at it?"
Hanekawa dispersed his chakra and said, "I'll go cook now."
"Why do you have to work right after waking up?"
Tsunade's expression suddenly froze.
She shook her head helplessly and went to the living room.
Tsunade picked up the document and was slightly startled.
The title is written on the cover: Anbu’s salary system.
Ninjas do not receive any salary, only a share of mission rewards and occasional village rewards.
Most ninjas, especially genin and chunin, were relatively poor.
Jonin is slightly better, but it is only limited to elite Jonin.
Tsunade opened the file.
The content of the document is not complicated. It is to retain the task reward while paying a certain amount of salary every month to the dark team members.
Salary is divided into basic salary and performance.
The basic salary depends on the strength of the Anbu members, with the highest for Jonin, followed by the special Jonin.
Performance evaluation is based on a variety of factors including the completion and frequency of tasks of the Anbu members.
Tsunade couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
There is no doubt that this salary system can greatly motivate the members of the Anbu.
Not only the enthusiasm for the task, but also the enthusiasm for strengthening strength.
The only drawback is that this fixed salary is a considerable expense.
"How did you come up with this salary system?"
Tsunade asked, standing at the kitchen door.
"Ordinary villagers get paid for their work. The Anbu do so much work, so they need some compensation."
Hanekawa explained casually.
“This system is quite good.”
Tsunade nodded slightly and said, "I want to try to promote it throughout the entire Konoha Village."
"The teacher is still generous."
Hanekawa glanced at her subconsciously.
Well, it is indeed broad-minded.
"Practice it in the dark first and see how it works."
Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "As for the expense, I will talk to the Daimyo at the festival tomorrow."
This expense is not a small one for Konoha Village.
But for the Fire Nation, it's just a drop in the bucket.
Given her relationship with the daimyo's family, there's a good chance she can get him to increase his assistance.
"We still have the Hidden Cloud Village."
Hanekawa reminded.
"good."
Tsunade smiled and said, "It seems that we have to add a condition, and let our Konoha Village participate in the mission of the Hidden Cloud Village."
Normally, the mission that the ninjas of Konoha Village can accept is in the Land of Fire.
At most, they can add some high-difficulty tasks for small countries that their ninjas cannot complete, so they can only ask for help from the five major villages.
As for the missions of the Wind Kingdom, Lightning Kingdom, Earth Kingdom, and Fire Kingdom, they are naturally the responsibility of the other four major ninja villages.
But times are different now.
All the high-ranking officials of the Hidden Cloud Village have been arrested and are lambs to be slaughtered.
Konoha Village can completely let Kumogakure Village assign the tasks of the Land of Lightning to them.
With more tasks, you can not only make money, but also increase the number of ninjas.
The Sand Village in the original work is a counterexample. Because the Wind Country reduced its aid, they were forced to take the elite route.
After breakfast, Tsunade went to the Hokage building, while Hanekawa went directly to the Anbu base.
"Hanekawa-sama."
It was Qing who came to greet him again.
"Call all the ANBU ninjas who are not on a mission. I have something to announce."
Hanekawa got straight to the point.
"Yes."
Qing was a little surprised, but didn't ask any more questions and turned away.
Soon, the Anbu ninjas appeared one after another.
Hanekawa took a quick look and saw about forty people, more than half of the total number.
"Hanekawa-sama!"
The ANBU ninjas shouted in unison.
Although Hanekawa is young, his strength has already conquered them, so they shouted with conviction.
"clear."
Hanekawa casually handed her a document and said, "You make the announcement."
"Yes."
Qing opened the file and her eyes widened involuntarily.
Isn’t this salary system just giving them money?
Qing calmed herself down and started reciting.
The ninjas who can join the Anbu are all elite ninjas with extremely high qualities.
But after hearing about this salary system, I still couldn't help but get agitated.
What is the purpose of being a ninja?
Except for some people who do it for dreams and protection, most people actually do it for survival, that is, money.
In their opinion, this wage system is too dreamy.
"From today on, the Anbu will implement this salary system."
Hanekawa announced with a smile.
"Great!"
"Long live Hanekawa-sama!"
"I can't be lazy now! I have to earn some performance points!"
The Anbu ninjas talked a lot, and finally burst into cheers.
Qing closed the file and couldn't help but think that in just one day, Hanekawa had successfully mastered the ANBU.
But it's the same for her. After all, with such a good salary system, it's hard not to be loyal.
Hanekawa suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Three lines of text appeared in front of him.
[S-level talent entry: Konoha's behind-the-scenes manipulator (not obtained).]
[Trigger condition: secretly control Konoha. ]
[Current progress: 9%.]
Hanekawa twitched the corner of his mouth.
What do you mean? To sow discord?
I am completely loyal to my teacher!
But there is nothing wrong with brushing up on the entries.
Hanekawa touched his chin, this hidden definition didn't seem so rigid.
This 9% progress bar shows that he has mastered the dark side.
But Tsunade also knew.
Hanekawa felt that the hidden definition was to control the entire Konoha Village as a non-Hokage.
If that's the case, then it can indeed be successful.
After all, Tsunade was already considering running away before she officially took over as Hokage.
"Just go and do your own thing."
Hanekawa waved his hand and said.
"Yes!"
The ANBU ninjas bowed deeply and left.
"Hanekawa-sama."
Qing walked forward and said, "I have sent out the ANBU recruitment message as you instructed. I should get a reply soon."
"Are there any criteria for recruiting people for the Anbu?" Hanekawa asked curiously.
“There are mainly two criteria.”
Qing explained, "One is strength, and the other is character."
"I see."
Hanekawa could probably guess what these two standards were.
The strength is not lower than that of Chunin, and it is best to be a special Jonin or Jonin.
As for character, one must be loyal to the Hokage and possess the will of fire.
Although Hanekawa disdains the Will of Fire, if an Anbu ninja has the Will of Fire, he is indeed more trustworthy.
After all, the Will of Fire now represents Tsunade.
"When the time comes, you will select a list of ninjas that meet the criteria and give it to me. I will make the final decision on the candidates."
Hanekawa thought for a moment and said.
"Yes."
Qing responded quickly.
Time has come to a new day, which is the weekend.
Since early morning, Konoha Village has been busy because a celebration to celebrate the victory of the Third Ninja World War will be held today.
The celebration is roughly divided into three processes.
The first is the preparation and arrangement in the morning.
The second is the afternoon performance, which includes speeches by the daimyo and the hokage, singing and dancing performances, and carnivals by various vendors.
The third is the fireworks festival at night, which includes setting off fireworks, wearing kimono-style yukatas and various games.
In other words, the celebration starts at noon and ends at night.
"Good afternoon, teacher."
Hanekawa opened the door and walked into the living room.
Tsunade, who was lying on the sofa, just waved her hand with a tired look on her face.
She had just returned from the Hokage Building, having been dealing with work for the entire morning.
"teacher."
Hanekawa walked up to her and said, "This is the Hokage's divine robe that was made for you."
"Is it ready so soon?"
Tsunade took a look and asked weakly.
"Just in time for you to wear it to the celebration."
Hanekawa reminded.
"Ah."
Tsunade said softly.
Although she had not officially taken over as Hokage yet, it would be impolite not to wear the Hokage robe at such a large-scale event as the victory celebration.
"Teacher, do you need me to give you a massage?"
Hanekawa's heart moved and he asked.
Tsunade subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at him.
After staring for a few seconds, she suddenly sat up.
"You sit down."
When Hanekawa thought there was no hope, Tsunade spoke.
"...?"
Hanekawa was a little confused. How could he get a massage after sitting down?
But he still obeyed and sat next to her.
Tsunade moved her butt and lay down again, but this time her head was on Hanekawa's thighs.
Is that so?
Hanekawa looked down at Tsunade's delicate face and couldn't help but smile.
"What are you laughing at?"
Tsunade asked with a snort.
"Teacher, you are so beautiful."
Hanekawa praised.
"do not waste time."
Tsunade didn't dare to look him in the eye again, so she simply closed her eyes and said, "Give me a massage."
"is teacher."
Hanekawa stretched out his hands and placed them on her temples, and began to press with moderate force.
Tsunade's tense body gradually relaxed, her plump breasts rising and falling slowly with her breathing.
Hanekawa had a feeling that she didn't know where to look, but in the end her aim fell on her overly stressed clothes.
time flies.
Tsunade's gentle and rhythmic breathing could be heard in the quiet living room.
Hanekawa was a little surprised.
Did you actually fall asleep?
This Hokage is really not fit to be a human being.
Hanekawa thought of Uzumaki Naruto. After becoming Hokage, he really neglected his family every day and was busy to death.
It seems that I will have to wait until the General Staff is established before I can have some free time.
When the time comes, just leave all the trivial matters to Nara Shikaku and others.
Hanekawa looked at Tsunade, hesitantly placed his hand on her face.
The soft touch made him pinch her face subconsciously.
Suddenly, he stopped moving and was startled.
Because Tsunade pursed her lips and bit her lips with her teeth, leaving a faint glowing mark.
Hanekawa's eyes fell on her lips.
She didn't wear lipstick, but she still looked rosy and tender.
Logically speaking, with Tsunade's strength, she should be able to notice such an action.
Hanekawa seemed to be thinking about something, so he didn't say anything more and continued to pinch her smooth and fair face.
"Kid!"
After a few minutes, Tsunade opened her eyes and asked, "Have you touched enough?"
"I'm just giving you a face massage."
Hanekawa said guiltily.
"Do you think I will believe it?"
Tsunade rolled her eyes and sat up.
"meeting."
Hanekawa said seriously, "I have always been upright."
"just you?"
Tsunade couldn't help but kick him and said dissatisfiedly, "You smooth-talking brat, I think you don't tell the truth at all!"
"There are some."
Hanekawa smiled and said, "I am absolutely telling the truth when I praise the teacher for being beautiful. I can say nine sentences like this in one breath."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Let's go to the celebration."
Tsunade looked away, stood up, and said.
"is teacher."
Hanekawa followed Tsunade out the door.
Of course, I changed into a set of clothes suitable for the celebration before going out.
Hanekawa was wearing a yukata, a light kimono, so she didn't need to change clothes at night.
Tsunade changed into the Hokage's divine robe.
The square in front of the Hokage Building was already crowded with people, waiting for the arrival of the Fire Country Daimyo and the new Hokage.
"Go and have fun."
Tsunade glanced at Hanekawa and walked towards the platform.
"Hanekawa! Over here!"
As soon as Hanekawa looked away, he heard Yuhi Kurenai's excited voice.
He looked in the direction of the sound and found a group of friends.
In addition to Yuhi Infrared, there are also Nohara Rin, Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Shisui and Sarutobi Asuma.
This should be the most complete gathering since graduating from the Ninja School, even Yamato is here.
Of course, Uchiha Obito, who had become a 'hero', was not there.
Hanekawa walked up and greeted them one by one.
"You guys have been missing all day since you became the Hokage's assistant!"
Asuma Sarutobi elbowed him and said.
"I only regretted it after I became the Hokage's assistant."
Hanekawa sighed and said, "I've been busy from morning till night, and I don't even have time to practice."
"You make me want to hit you!"
Asuma Sarutobi twitched his lips and said, "You are taking advantage of me!"
"Can you beat me?"
Kurenai Yuhi hugged Hanekawa's arm and asked with a smile.
"..."
Asuma Sarutobi was suddenly speechless.
Everyone was chatting and waiting.
The time came to one o'clock in the afternoon.
The celebration officially begins.
The first process is the speech of the Fire Country Daimyo, and the second process is the speech of the Hokage.
After the two processes were completed, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon.
"Everyone, let's go to the celebration!"
Tsunade stood on the platform and spoke loudly.
When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered.
