Chapter 337 - Inner Cabinet Spots

Tobirama was a smart man. The entire framework of Konoha today was established by him, so he naturally understood Kazuki's intention and didn't see any problem with his idea.

The Hokage shouldn't be confined to the Hokage Office, bound by too many matters. The Hokage should be the strongest, the one who protects everyone, not just a tool for processing official documents in an office.

Apparently, some of Hiruzen's policies satisfied Tobirama, but his behavior of being restricted to Konoha greatly displeased Tobirama.

And Kazuki's actions clearly allowed him to break free from a large amount of official business.

At the same time, Kazuki also had time to do other things.

It's important to note that, while Konoha wouldn't unify the entire Ninja World in the future, a great many matters would converge on Konoha.

As Konoha's Kage, the matters he needed to handle would multiply. If he continued to govern the village and even the country according to the old procedures, then even with Kazuki's Ōtsutsuki-like physique, he would likely still be worked to death.

In reality, Tobirama's concerns were completely valid.

For example, in the future, Naruto's strength was clearly the best in the Ninja World, having fully activated the Asura Chakra within him, and possessed a true Sage Body. But after becoming Hokage, he handled so many affairs that he didn't even have the energy to create Shadow Clones.

Although Kazuki could create many Shadow Clones to handle affairs, human effort has its limits. If he were truly overworked, it wouldn't be a good thing for the entire Ninja World.

Hiruzen didn't want Kazuki to be too aggressive, but after seeing that his teacher, Tobirama, was Kazuki's supporter, he chose to remain silent. He would never doubt Tobirama's ability.

Even now, Hiruzen occasionally sighs, 'Oh, so that's how it is, no wonder Tobirama-sensei designed it that way.'

Hiruzen would doubt himself before he would doubt Tobirama.

This time, Tobirama firmly stood by Kazuki's side. In fact, as long as it wasn't related to Hashirama, Tobirama's rationality was always online.

"Third Hokage, Elder Koharu, I'll trouble you with the Inner Cabinet from now on."

Kazuki planned to abolish the Elder Council and instead use an Inner Cabinet for oversight.

Neither Hiruzen nor Koharu refused this. For Koharu, her power was not affected, but rather enhanced.

As for Hiruzen, he had originally planned that after retirement, if Kazuki needed him, he would become a member of the Elder Council, just like Homura in the past, continuing to contribute to Konoha in areas he excelled.

If Kazuki didn't want him to continue influencing Konoha's reforms, then he wouldn't mind truly retiring.

The former Hokage still held considerable influence, and even if Hiruzen himself didn't intend to, he could still subtly influence Kazuki.

"Alright, leave it to us, but will it just be the two of us?" Hiruzen asked, frowning.

The members of the former Elder Council were more than just two.

"The Jonin Squad Leader, Tsunade-sensei, and Orochimaru will all join, and we'll give one spot to the Hyuga clan. We'll think about others later, keeping the number between five and nine members."

Kazuki hadn't initially thought of the Hyuga clan, but considering Rinka and the fact that the current Hyuga clan were his supporters, Kazuki had to give them some benefits.

No matter how little Kazuki thought of the Hyuga clan, an Inner Cabinet spot was nothing to him.

"What about the Konoha Military Police Force? Do you not intend to get rid of it?" Tobirama looked at Kazuki and asked.

"You are now the provisional Fourth Hokage, and it's time for you to become the Uchiha clan head."

"The Konoha Military Police Force needs to be given up. Restricting the Uchiha's actions actually isn't wrong. The Uchiha are indeed considered a source of disaster in the Ninja World."

Kazuki remembered very clearly. Whether the Ninja World was chaotic or not, the Uchiha decided.

Obito and Madara were both beings who brought chaos to the Ninja World.

As for Sasuke, that doesn't count. Although Sasuke and Naruto fought in the end, in Kazuki's view, Sasuke was not wrong.

Did Sasuke do anything heinous?

Wasn't it just killing the 5.5th Hokage, Danzo?

Wasn't that removing a tumor for Konoha?

Moreover, Danzo had already annihilated the entire Uchiha clan, so what was wrong with Sasuke seeking revenge on Danzo?

Sasuke was a hero who saved the Ninja World.

As for later, Sasuke only wanted to reform the Ninja World. Putting aside the facts, Sasuke's reform ideas were not wrong. It's just that later, he couldn't defeat Naruto.

But what did Naruto bring to the Ninja World?

"Hmm, it's time to deal with Ryoma."

Tobirama nodded slightly. "It's also time to send Fugaku to Madara."

Tobirama fully agreed with Madara becoming the Ninja World's behind-the-scenes boss, a threat to Ninja World peace.

That guy, Madara, was definitely playing his true self.

However, Madara's side was still lacking some people. Danzo wasn't qualified enough, so Fugaku needed to be sent over.

Hopefully, Madara can recruit more talents, as the Ninja World needs peace, but also conflict, and only he can instigate these things.

"Understood." Kazuki nodded slightly, without any intention of necessarily killing Fugaku.

A mere Fugaku posed no threat to them.

Could Fugaku even awaken the Rinnegan after combining Indra and Asura's Chakra?

Impossible.

With that little Indra Chakra, his eyes could not be further enhanced. Being able to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was already his limit.

Kazuki also planned to scout some personnel for Madara.
