Uchiha Jin nodded slightly.
He deeply approved of Nara Shikaku's suggestion.
How could him actively judging Hiruzen Sarutobi and others be as righteous as being petitioned by the masses?
"Alright, it's settled then."
"Next is to decide which Village industries the future labor reform personnel will be assigned to. This must be implemented before Old Konoha collapses."
"Whichever Ninja Clan's industry needs them, we'll stick to the old rules and bid directly."
"Tsunade will be in charge of the specifics!"
"Nara Shikaku, you'll be responsible for the final blow against Old Konoha."
"Kakashi's Anbu must mobilize to ensure that Sarutobi and the other Four Clans don't jump the gun."
"Fugaku's Police Force must maintain stability, ensuring that the arrival of a large number of Old Konoha personnel doesn't disrupt our Village's normal order."
"That's all, dismissed!"
After speaking.
Uchiha Jin stood up directly and left the conference room.
As he left, the other Ninja Clan heads began to gather around Lady Tsunade.
"Lady Tsunade, the Nara Clan's medicinal herb cultivation base needs to register."
"Our Inuzuka Clan's dog breeding farm also needs labor reform personnel. We must get a batch of them, no matter what."
"The Aburame Clan's insect breeding base needs them too!"
"..."
Everyone present spoke up.
At this moment, they didn't act like Ninja Clan heads; instead, they were like ordinary street vendors, arguing directly over the labor reform personnel.
This was quite normal!
The benefits were simply too great.
Normally, their family businesses would have to pay to hire people, but with this batch of labor reform personnel, they only needed to pay a fixed fee to the Village and could use these laborers freely for a long time.
Only a fool would refuse such a good deal!
And, regarding this.
Lady Tsunade looked at the surging crowd and felt her scalp tingle.
Bang!
She slammed the table directly: "Stop yelling, all of you! Go back and write an application, then come back."
"The application form must strictly state how many positions can be provided, what the specific job types are, and how much tax can be paid to the Village annually."
After speaking.
She couldn't be bothered with them anymore and simply left the conference room.
Afterward.
Kakashi, Nara Shikaku, Fugaku, and others also left. Although these Ninja Clan heads were scolded, there was no sign of displeasure on their faces. Instead, they hurried back to prepare their application plans.
The last to leave the conference room was Hiashi, but at this moment, his face was filled with emotion.
No choice!
He was too shocked.
The atmosphere and operating procedures here in New Konoha were completely different from Old Konoha, but he had to admit that after streamlining the processes, New Konoha's efficiency was simpler, more direct, and more effective.
"This atmosphere is indeed good!"
"It seems that starting today, the Hyuga Clan should also embrace a new life."
"Thinking about other things is still a bit too far; it's better to go back and build a new clan compound first!"
A faint smile appeared on Hiashi's face.
He needed to establish the new clan compound and then figure out how to organize all of the Hyuga Clan's industries as quickly as possible.
After all, the upcoming New Konoha would have countless free laborers.
He didn't want to miss out on this wave of era dividends!
Hokage Office.
Just as Uchiha Jin was enjoying life behind his desk, Nara Shikaku, Kakashi, and Lady Tsunade arrived together.
The three of them looked very serious.
Seeing this, Uchiha Jin asked with confusion, "What happened? Why do you all have such expressions?"
"Hokage-sama, I think you forgot something."
Nara Shikaku said seriously, "That is Kumogakure!"
Lady Tsunade immediately added, "With the Hyuga Clan joining New Konoha, I'm afraid Kumogakure will target us."
Kakashi didn't speak but simply looked at Uchiha Jin.
Apparently.
He wanted to know how his Hokage-sama planned to resolve the Hyuga Clan issue.
And, regarding this.
Uchiha Jin couldn't help but roll his eyes upon hearing these words.
"Heh, you scared me!"
"I thought something big had happened. You don't need to worry about Kumogakure."
"There won't be a fight!"
"The Fourth Raikage may seem reckless and crude, but in reality, it's just a disguise."
"No one who becomes a Kage is a fool!"
"Think about how this Fourth Raikage acted during the Third Great Ninja War. Even though his father, the Third Raikage, died at the hands of Iwagakure, he was still able to put aside his vendetta against Iwagakure and instead ally with them to attack our Konoha..."
"Someone who can do that, is he a reckless person?"
"Kumogakure suffered heavy losses during the Third Great Ninja War, even their younger generation was almost wiped out. How could he dare to start another Ninja World War at this time?"
"He's just seen through Hiruzen Sarutobi's old age and fear of war, so he's trying to take a shot, whether there's a prize or not."
"If those Kumogakure guys really dare to come, just tell them to get lost!"
His words were full of domineering power.
After Lady Tsunade and the others heard this, they thought about it carefully and realized it was indeed true.
That Fourth Raikage, who could even endure the hatred of his father's death, really didn't seem like a mindless brute.
However, it must be said.
His previous disguise was too good; everyone had taken him for a crude person. If Uchiha Jin hadn't pointed this out, perhaps no one would have realized it even now.
"That makes sense!"
Nara Shikaku was the first to speak: "Hokage-sama, I've learned something new!"
Everyone else nodded as well, then they all took their leave and went to do their own things... Time slowly passed.
Precisely because of the conclusion of today's meeting, the entire New Konoha immediately began to operate efficiently, sharpening its blades towards the corrupt Old Konoha not far away.
But, unfortunately.
New Konoha had already launched new actions, but Old Konoha remained completely unaware, instead struggling with how to explain things to Kumogakure.
Hokage Office.
Jiraiya sat behind his desk, practically tearing his hair out.
"Old Man, tell me."
"Now that the Hyuga Clan has defected to New Konoha, how are we going to explain this to Kumogakure?"
"We can't really follow Danzo's example and choose to go to war with Kumogakure, can we?"
His words were filled with displeasure.
Because he had expressed his concerns that very evening, fearing that overly direct methods would force the Hyuga Clan away. However, Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't taken it seriously, even claiming that the Hyuga Clan would never accept New Konoha's rules.
But now?
The Hyuga Clan had joined New Konoha without looking back, and now the Konoha Leadership could only stare helplessly.
What to do?
Not only was the Village weaker without the Hyuga Clan, but the Kumogakure issue was now even more unsolvable.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was filled with regret. Had he really been too harsh on the Hyuga Clan before?
